sorry but the fact that there are people who watched young royals before watching skam or haven’t seen skam at all kinda boggles my mind. it’s such a thematic successor to it I can’t view it as anything else.

ok but imagine being a random student and watching the crown prince come back from winter break and instantly start shit with his prefect cousin and then you spend gym class watching his kinda-maybe boyfriend get pissed off and hit him with a dodgeball

I’ve talked before about how Wille’s fourth wall breaks symbolise the way he’s constantly being watched and unable to escape the scrutiny even when he’s alone. The final fourth wall break stands out in this respect because it’s the first time the camera is right in front of him. In S1, it’s off to the side in both cases, and in S2E1 it’s behind him and he looks at it in the mirror – it’s sneaking into his personal space, intruding, being somewhere where it’s not supposed to be. But in the last episode, it’s exactly at Wille’s eye level and directly in front of him and he looks at the camera head on because this time, he wants it there. He’s owning up to who he is and he wants an audience. He no longer has that angry, hurt, trapped look of the first three times. Instead he looks determined and confident and smiles a little bit. He’s reclaiming the narrative, deciding to be the one who gets to tell his story.

my english isn’t working well right now so excuse the weird phrasing but young royals is not only an exploration of sexuality??! What are you talking about? it’s so much more. it’s about class struggle. it’s about emotional abuse. it’s about grief. it’s a romance. it’s a coming of age story. it’s about losing everything to find yourself. it’s about accepting yourself as you are and finding people who accept you as you are. yes it’s the queer show I would’ve killed to have as a kid but it’s so much more than that

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.
