grief is so crazy like what if i forget what her laugh sounds like. does she know i loved her. i miss her so much. i catch myself doing things she used to do. i wish i could call her. i miss her so much. i do a crossword puzzle. i cry while washing the dishes. does she know i loved her? my heart feels like a hummingbird. i miss her so much. what if i forget what her laugh sounds like. what if i forget.

when you see someone from high school and they don’t recognize you that’s the exact opposite of the mortifying ordeal of being known. the gratifying relief of being forgotten

I think it would be better for everyone if I were to be left alone in the future. Don't you?

Yes, I know that their beef is very serious but this is literally the most cousin thing that they've in the entire show.

I think Young Royals got the Fancy Boarding School trope right when so, so many other stories have gotten it wrong. The rich kids aren’t evil, they’re privileged. Some of them kind of suck, and some of them are very nice. The poor kids aren’t innocent orphans who are always the victim, they’re disadvantaged. Some of their choices are good, and some are bad. The kids may do things that really hurt each other, but at the end of the day none of the kids is the villain– they’re just kids in very different difficult situations. The situation– the class system that pressures the aristocratic children to be perfect and grow up too soon and pressures the poor children to conform and backstab to succeed–is the villain. 

That’s the fucking point of the Fancy Boarding School story. The rich kids aren’t all bad. The poor kids aren’t all good. The teachers aren’t all out to ruin the students’ lives. The class system is the bad guy.

The "Please do" bf

Imagine being a citizen of fictional Sweden. The crown prince dies in a car crash. He is succeeded by his younger brother who was recently involved in a fight that went viral. Just a few weeks later, he is involved in a gay sex tape scandal. But then it turns out it wasn't him. But then it turns out it was him, and also the school the royal family have been educated at for generations is super fucked up. And then he says fuck the monarchy, love wins 💜. And he's replaced by some cousin you've barely even heard of.

(And then, possibly, some amateur internet sleuth posts a four hour video detailing how the former crown prince's sex tape was leaked by the current crown prince, causing a constitutional crisis. There is no one to replace the third crown prince you've had in just a few years. You might as well elect a president.)
