#omar rudberg your voice is everything

[young-royals-confessions]

Hello hello, it's anon from the flight! And how lovely it's this fandom that I got a moniker from an anon confession? I've read the messages and checked the reblogs and wow! I seriously didn't expect for my unhinged message to be this welcomed since I'm three years too late to this beautiful show! With this beautiful people and thank you so much to everyone who recommended me to listen to the Simon-not-actually-made-by-AI actor. AND SINGER! BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED. I'm still in disbelief he's real, like Omar Rudberg is so pretty AND has such a nice voice??? AND HE'S GORGEOUS and he's a great actor and UGH THE CHEMISTRY. With who I now know iis called Edvin and now I feel the need to see them acting next to eachother forever and ever, so much chemistry can't be wasted!! (looking at Netflix. I'm still so crossed I missed out of this beauty for three years wtf Netflix)

SO I binge watched the second season, patience isn't my name, and WHAT THE FUCK. Was not prepared for that rollercoaster. I gotta be honest, I almost stopped watching and went to sleep halfway through the season like ugh I fucking hate that Marcus dude, sure in the end I understand why he was a necessary evil for the plot but I fucking hate love triangles. I was a teenage girl during the height of love triangles in tv shows, I hate them. But I hate August the most. I think of his face and feel enraged.

BUUUUUUUUUUT UGHHHH. THE LOVE BETWEEN SIMON AND WILLE. That overpowered everything. Seriously, how am I supposed to be functional after being a witness to their valentine's ball kiss? And Simon's song? (Which I have been obbsessively listening on repeat WTF I understand nothing but I can feel FEEL the meaning on my bones. This beautiful dude's voice wtf. I can understand Wille's obsession, I'm practically obsessed too now wtf)

AND THE END OHMYGOD. A BALM FOR MY SOUL. I was kind of hoping to get heartbroken AGAin for shit and giggles but noooo, I got the best ending and I'm trying to not be too spoiler-ey since I'm sure I'm not the only human being living in this planet called Earth who's unaware the most perfect TV show exists and it's called Young Royals and beautiful people are in it to everyone taste no matter your sexual orientation (like hello Felice too!)(still shocked Omar Rudberg is a real person and not generated by artificial intelligence, maybe I'll be convinced after some proper sleep time, but for now he's too beautiful to be real. Not even exaggerating and I'm really good at that okay!)

I'm still processing the second season, I took a nap after I finished but I'm still tired since I cried and laughed and was left with the biggest smile in my face (and I also was in an 8 hour flight!) and then went to youtube and saw a clip from season 3 AND OMFG THESE TWO DUDES ARE TOO PRETTY FOR WORDS. Happiness and love look wonderful in Wille, like the literal heart eyes he's delivering there? That's how I feel when I see Simon too. Relatable character is relatable. What can I say about Simon without sounding crazy except I need to protect him at all costs??

I don't know what else to say except THANK YOU for reading me and thank you to everyone who has been nice to me in the comments even when I'm still anon, it means the world to me. I hope I'll be more coherent after eight hours of sleep and I won't be too embarrassed reading my own message tomorrow lmao and I don't know how I'm going to survive until 2024 for season 3, I'm sitting here taking notes for that too! I already know the answer it's fanfics so I'll be checking AO3 but also analysis? Meta? how are you guys for real? I was expecting a teenage fandom with just vibes but I guess I was wrong. And I love it. As much as I love the show and Simon and Wille's relationship and I gotta be honest, Omar Rudberg's face and voice. UGH.

Thank you so much for reading me again and for everyone who has left messages for me, I'll freak out more once I get some proper sleep!

Thank you and I'm sorry again XOXO

YAY thanks for coming back!! 💜💜💜

( omar rudberg, genderfluid, he/they/she, 24) ** ♔ announcing EMIL JÖNSSON, THE PRINCE OF SWITZERLAND ! in a recent portrait they seem to resemble OMAR RUDBERG. it is a miracle that HE/THEY/SHE survived the last five years and for that reason, they are AGAINST the kingdoms working together. reflecting on them now, they remind me of JUMPING AT THE SOUND OF YOUR OWN VOICE, FINDING A SHARD OF LONG FORGOTTEN BROKEN GLASS THE HARD WAY, THE NAGGING SENSE THAT YOU’RE PERPETUALLY UNDERFOOT.

basics.

full name: emil olivier jönsson nicknames: n/a age: 24 years old gender: genderfluid pronouns: he/him, they/them, she/her orientation: demisexual language(s): german, french, italian, english status: betrothed(?)

bio.

(tw for parental death, accidental death, injury, mild gore, blood & hemophobia, selective mutism, & implied ableism)

you don’t know the story behind your line. where you came from before arriving is a mystery to you, one you never worked up the nerve to inquire about. in some ways, this feels easier. not knowing if your biological parents have died, or simply didn’t want you, could be tricky, complex emotionally even, but you soothe yourself by settling on the likelihood of their demise. a tragedy, sure, but less devastating than the idea of being unwanted. all your life, you feel like you’ve been chasing that sense of belonging. you aren’t brave, and you don’t consider yourself especially smart. the idea of entertaining a crowd would be enough to make your head spin. you’ve never been the picture of poise and strength you think your parents wanted. but there’s enough of you running around, you learn to settle into your own. 

you make a few close friends, and that’s enough for you. you come alive in this environment, with siblings who understand you and friends who see you. your parents almost become an afterthought. you weren’t loud and you did as you were told, so they left you alone. this did not mean they loved you. you told yourself you didn’t need it, anyway. your siblings love you, and your friends hold you dear. this is enough, is it not? you think it might be. in all, your experience growing up feels blissfully normal. you have your loved ones, you read too much and get dragged into a tolerable amount of nonsense, and you learn much about yourself. there are nights, then and now, that questions creep up. you tamp them back down, afraid the answers would hurt more than the not knowing. 

you’re just shy of 18 when it happens. freak accident, they call it. one in a million. it doesn’t make coping any better. it feels like an eternity you stand at the basin, scrubbing your hands and arms and face, splotches and splatters of red dancing across your vision anyway. it’s worse when you close your eyes, you think. the screaming isn’t even the worst of it, it’s the injury itself, playing over and over in your mind. one mind everything is fine, and then the next, bone and blood, so much blood. you didn’t know a person had so much blood in them. you wished you could forget how much blood is in a person. it’s worse that you know him. knew him. memories of him, now, are stained red. you start seeing red everywhere. you don’t leave your room anymore. then you stop speaking. you don’t know how to explain it. it’s not that you don’t want to, not entirely. you become terrified that if you do speak, blood is going to pour from your mouth, maybe all you have, and that will be it. it goes on like that for months, even when you do leave your room.

it takes time, and it takes patience, neither of which are exactly in abundance when the plague strikes, but you do improve. you can leave your room unassisted. you’re speaking to your siblings, at the very least. the few friends who stuck by you, despite it all, get a bit more from you. short responses can be coaxed out of you by some staff and a few other royals. it’s not the sudden reverting back to “normal” you think people expect. you don’t know that you can be normal anymore. the summit seemed to only exacerbate this for you. you know its importance, but you don’t care. you lock yourself away in your room again, doing your best to go as unnoticed as possible when you do have to leave, for a couple of weeks. in some ways you feel more like a feral cat than a person, the slightest changes making you run and hide again. you think you’re alright now, though. you hope you are.

🎶✨when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool)🎶✨

Oh god sandi you sent me this DAYS ago and I’m just now getting to this I’m so sorry

Here are 5 songs I listen to and love (and the reasons I love them)

1) Skeletons - Brothers Osborn. First heard this in the sandman show and it just gave me the most obnoxious ear worms. I love country music, I love country music to a fault and this is exactly what my dumbass little southerner brain feeds off of. Also watch the sandman el oh el

2) Todo De Ti (All That She Wants) - Omar Rudberg. Again, fuckin ear worms dude. Omar put his whole pussy into that song and I choose to ignore the discourse about the music video in order to pop my pussy severely

3) Tiny Dancer - Florence + The Machines. This is a cover of Elton John’s song and they played this at my job and ever since then I just feel it right in my bones. Florence’s voice is beyond this world and she really should be praised. Weird barefooted lady

4) Wildfire - Cautious Clay. This was introduced to me by the bestie @purplehoodiesimon way back when all of us were discussing songs that are deeply wilmon. And I just resonated hard with the lyrics and the sound. She’s so beautiful and I’d be nowhere without her.

5) Desert Song - My Chemical Romance. Okay, I’ve been leaving little paragraphs here for each song but, with this one I have a lot to say so bare with me.

Up until recently there was only one performance of Desert Song ever done. It’s on the Life On The Murder Scene soundtrack (the documentary mcr did during the three cheers for sweet revenge circuit and post Gerard’s sobriety) and it is the most heart wrenchingly beautiful song I’ve ever heard. There’s only recording because the way Gerard felt that he could perform it was if they were so fucked up on alcohol and drugs that the song itself was ripped from their very center.

According to the band, when asked about this song, they said there was only one session for it and that Gerard had been on such a bad bender the night before that he showed up to the studio still black out drunk. And it reflects in the song itself. It’s about succumbing to your addictions, dying and giving up entirely and it is sung at a time when Gerard was at their lowest low. It is a painful song to listen to.

Now you might be asking why this song of such utter dispare is on this list and why I love it so much. My Chemical Romance is currently on tour, having gotten back together after essentially killing off the band (each member moving onto their own projects). Each night the set is different and so when they performed desert song, no one had any idea. And they did. For the first time since it was recorded they performed this song about succumbing and dying and everything horrible in life and turned it into a victory song.

Ray Toro - lead guitarist and a god - changed the key to the song to a major when the original is in minor thus completely changing the entire meaning to the song itself. Yes it’s still about succumbing to addiction but now it’s changed light, it’s about not beating addiction but surviving addiction which the entire band, but specifically Gerard, did. It’s stunning and I shit you not when I heard it I cried.

You see these men who have been through hell and back performing a song that they never could because it would just break them again, bring them back to their darkest moments, and making it into a song of hope and survival and that you can make it. That they’re alive and happy to be doing what they’re doing again. That they’re okay. And it reminds you that you too can survive. That the road isn’t easy and can be quite painful, but they did it and you can too.

This song reminds me that it’s okay to be hurting and to struggle, but also that there’s something to live for. That life won’t always be so dark and desolate and that you can make it. My Chemical Romance made it and so can you.

#tate answers #ask #mcr #i hope you don’t mind that I went a little introspective on this #i love my music and the things that make me happy

My opinion of the songs of Melodifestivalen 2019 🇸🇪

Starts with my least favorite songs and ends with my favorites

BTW I’m from the United States!!

28 Rebecka Karlsson – “Who I Am” Result: Andra Chansen

This song doesn’t leave an impression on me at all. It’s boring and sounds like I’ve heard it before.

27 Andreas Johnson – “Army of Us” Result: Andra Chansen

This is also a kinda boring and “been done before” entry, very Coldplay or Avicii as many have said. I don’t have anything else to say lol

26 Hanna Ferm & LIAMOO – “Hold You” Result: Finalist

This song is so cheesy and weak, like Running Scared 2.0... I am not getting the hype at all, Sweden has many much better songs to pick from. 

25 Nano - “Chasing Rivers” Result: Andra Chansen

This could be a really strong entry but it’s really bad vocally. The mumble singing really doesn’t work with this song and I hope he fixes that if he wants a chance at getting into the final!

24 Dolly Style – “Habibi” Result: Eliminated

The song is fine but the last group I would have expected to try and rip off Arabic pop vibes in their song was definitely Dolly Style. I just don’t think any of this works. It’s reminiscent of Germany 2016 where Jamie Lee was singing that sad ballad while dressed as some kind of anime character. Like what the hell is going on? It’s just too much

23 Margaret – “Tempo” Result: Eliminated

I was surprised this didn’t even make AC, but it didn’t deserve to in my opinion. I’m not really a big fan of Margaret’s entries in Melfest and I’m still not sure why she competes in Melfest instead of representing Poland

22 Jan Malmsjö – “Leva livet” Result: Eliminated

I’m not really a huge fan of this song but like, he’s 86 years old and he absolutely still has star power, so I’m happy for him. I don’t speak enough Swedish to understand the song but it’s pretty interesting and charming nonetheless.

21 Zeana feat. Anis Don Demina – “Mina bränder” Result: Eliminated

This song is incoherent and all over the place so I get why it was eliminated. Zeana’s voice is too breathy for the fast paced lyrics.

20 Bishara – “On My Own” Result: Finalist

His vocal performance is good but I don’t really like the song. It’s just not for me. It’s very JESC-like but has mature lyrics about relationship problems which is strange to me.

19 The Lovers of Valdaro – “Somebody Wants” Result: Eliminated

It’s an ok song but I think this song would sound better if they didn’t use falsetto and if it weren’t so repetitive. Their musical style otherwise has a lot of potential so maybe they could come back with something stronger?

18 High15 – “No Drama” Result: Eliminated

The music is very boppy and memorable but it’s like “ummmm” that this is a song about "drinking your problems away” (alcoholism) and these girls are 15-16 years old... maybe if they were older or if the lyrics were different it would be likeable? I dunno

17 Vlad Reiser – “Nakna i regnet” Result: Andra Chansen

This is a decent song, I don’t think it will get out of AC though lol.

16 Ann-Louise Hanson – “Kärleken finns kvar” Result: Eliminated

This song is very soft and warm. It isn’t as strong as the others but it was very heartfelt.

15 Arja Saijonmaa – “Mina fyra årstider” Result: Eliminated

This song is very sweet and gentle with a lovely message. It’s very sad that so many older artists in Sweden take an interest in Melfest but never stand a chance against youthful pop songs.

14 Martin Stenmarck – “Låt skiten brinna” Result: Andra Chansen

This is pretty good. I don’t really have anything else to say.

13 Anton Hagman – “Känner dig” Result: Eliminated

I personally really like this song but the staging was weird and it wasn’t really a standout. I get why it didn’t go anywhere

12 Omar Rudberg – “Om om och om igen” Result: Eliminated

Another song that would’ve maybe fared better if it lost the falsetto. I love how modern it is and that it has lines in Spanish though. Very boppy.

11 Oscar Enestad – “I Love It” Result: Eliminated

Ok this was robbed!!! I think maybe having a staging with a light up prop was too similar to Dance You Off last year. I thought it was really good either way.

10 Arvingarna – “I Do” Result: Andra Chansen

I was pretty excited when I heard Arvingarna would be back, because Eloise was a great entry and I wondered how their music has evolved since like 25 years ago. So this song is pretty good, not the strongest in Melfest this year but a nice and catchy song that I really like.

9 Mohombi – “Hello” Result: Finalist

This song is cute and performed really well!! I’d be ok with it winning Melfest

8 Lina Hedlund – “Victorious” Result: Finalist

I’m so glad Sweden didn’t sleep on this, because it is fantastic! The staging is so smart and Lina sounds awesome.

7 Pagan Fury – “Stormbringer” Result: Eliminated

This was different and absolutely EPIC and Sweden completely robbed it... I don’t even know what to say!

6 Lisa Ajax – “Torn” Result: Andra Chansen

This is good!! I think it’s too similar to Wiktoria’s song though, and Wiktoria’s is better.

5 Anna Bergendahl - “Ashes to Ashes” Result: Andra Chansen

This song is pretty, and I love the staging. Her vocals are great and confident. This is a lot better than her 2010 entry. I hope she will qualify from AC too.

4 Malou Prytz – “I Do Me” Result: Finalist

This song is really cute and danceable. I hope it does well!!

3 John Lundvik – “Too Late For Love” Result: Finalist

Another great song from John Lundvik! I love how this combines the feel of a ballad with an upbeat bridge and chorus. It’s great, and is another song I’d like to see win!!

2 Wiktoria – “Not With Me” Result: Finalist

This. Is. Stunning!!!!! She absolutely deserves to win Melfest this year!! A simply  beautiful and emotional song and performance!!

1 Jon Henrik Fjällgren – “Norrsken” Result: Finalist

Everything about this entry is perfection to me. His voice and the scenery are so beautiful. This really deserves to win Melfest too. <3 Jon Henrik deserved to win Melfest in every year he’s participated so far and that’s the tea

Thanks for reading!!
