I cannot (yes I can) believe that Cardan went to give Jude shit for beating him in the tournament and starts off the convo by playing with her hair. Give me a mf break
Cardan: look at me and this opportunityyy standing right in front me
One of the first stage names he went by was William Sunshine, and he was part of a band called A Verbal Equinox, they released one album in 2013 and they broke up.
He released two albums under the name Will Wood and The Tapeworms in 2016, Everything is a Lot and Self-ish.
in 2019 he released a cover of Prince Ali to help with an album called D*sn*y is Birth Control under the name Will Wood and The Land Pirates.
Also in 2019, the first episode of the podcast The Life In The World To Come was released.
in 2020 he released a mockumentary called The Real Will Wood.
Also in 2020, he released remastered versions of Self-ish and Everything is a Lot.
Then AGAIN in 2020, he did The Normal Album under the name Will Wood.
In 2022 he did Incase I Make It, and Camp Here & There which was for a podcast. (of which I haven't researched much.)
In 2023 he released In Case I Die, which was a collection of his live performances, and then took his indefinite break from creating music.
While he no longer does music, The Life in the World To Come still updates regularly.
Look, I just need you guys to understand how important queer coming-of-age forbidden romances on internationally accessible platforms like Netflix is, especially to youth in countries where homosexuality still hasn't been legally decriminalised or socially accepted.
That was a mouthful, so let me explain. You, a white American adult with a liberal family, may not relate to a fictional anxious teen Swedish prince grappling with strict familial and societal expectations versus his first love. You may not find anything special in a bunch of queer British teens discovering themselves and figuring out complex relationships that are honestly rather simplistic, in retrospect. It might be a little too trite for you. Like, just a little vanilla without any extra drama. Perhaps corny—cringe, even. Too wholesome.
But you know what that is to me, a desi queer young adult? It's representation, in an unlikely place. My country certainly isn't making movies or shows where I see my secret relationship between me and my girlfriend portrayed. I don't see that happening in the next couple of decades, either, sadly. But you know who’s telling our stories? Alice Oseman. Lisa Ambjörn, Lars Beckung and Camilla Holter. Through fictional storylines that might seem kind of boring to you, I am finally able watch my lived experiences play out on screen.
American media has done such a disservice to queer coming-of-age stories. I want to scream this from the rooftops. Y’all, I’m glad to see more out quirky queer side-characters—I can’t get enough of them—but why is it so rarely their story, in sharp focus, about how they found themselves? I want to know how they overcame internalised homophobia. When was the moment they knew? What is the cost they have to pay for being out? For not being out?
And no, I don’t want it to be dramatic. I don’t need to see violence or betrayals or victorious kisses in public, really. I’m happiest with the teenagers behaving like real teenagers. Innocent, vulnerable, nervous. I want it to be heartfelt, and excruciatingly slow, and authentic. I want to see the small wins and the subtle losses. The quiet mental toll of how much you have to give to a queer relationship—especially your first queer relationship—and how hard that can be to separate from your Identity itself.
Give me that "am I gay?" quiz and genuinely crying at 3:00 AM because you're in a rabbit hole about LGBTQ+ rights in a country where you actually don’t want to be gay and you don’t even know if you “count” anyway. Show me that moment where you're going back and forth from forbidding yourself from seeing the one person that sees and understands you and it's to protect your mental and physical well-being but it's driving you insane. Give me ALL THE YOUNG ADULT BI+ AWAKENINGS where one person strolls into your life and changes everything. No, it’s really not the same as most cis-heterosexual insta-love movies out there, even if it looks that way to you. It doesn’t even cut it close.
The happy ending, the acceptance is only what I can dream of, not what I can expect. The wholesomeness is actually radical to me.
No, we’re not past the need for basic star-crossed queer romances. For most countries in the world (including for many white American teenagers!), we need them as much as ever.
We all talk A LOT about how qCellbit is sooo smitten for qRo and how he's so in love and how qRo seems detached.
Yeah sure, go watch the last streams.
QROIER ASKS FOR ATTENTION FROM HIS HUSBAND and I mean A LOT, not constantly, but when Cellbit is around Roier follows him everywhere, flirts with him, jokes a lot.
Christ, the dude put on his husband's clothes.
You mean to tell me Roier isn't as in love as Cellbit? They have different ways of expressing it. Roier demands ATTENTION.
And if you are still not convinced, in the Nether stream you could clearly see how when Pierre tried to flirt with him, Roier immediately looked towards Cellbit for help.
When the elections were over and they went to see the fireworks, Roier was looking at Cellbit.
During the debates, he was always by his husband's side and AGAIN when Pierre flirted with him he CLEARLY replied with "thank you but I'm married".
These things get so overlooked because Roier tends to be more of the funny type of guy and not the romantic one as Cellbit is, but I can assure you this man is down bad as much as his husband is, they just have a different way of expressing it.
