Because i love this picture

[prncewilhelm]

my hand was the one you reached for

over the two years since i get it, you’re not in love with me anymore and the kiss he pressed tentatively to simon’s lips, they’ve both worked hard at keeping each other in the loop. they’re used to baring their souls and opening their hearts, handing little pieces of themselves over and begging, please take this part of me and keep it forever. 

on their third valentine’s day together, wille and simon discuss their first. 

word count: 3.6k  fluff, a tiny bit angsty, set in their third year at hillerska.

OMAR RUDERBG | EVERY NIGHT FANTASY TOUR 2025 Amsterdam, Feb 10 2025 (x)

[prncewilhelm]

buzzing in my seat for new heavy content - love you a lot!

ahhh thank you so much! i'm also buzzing for new heavy content. i've had a very mental february so far (it was my birthday and i managed to see omar twice!) so i haven't had the chance to finish going over the next chapter, but it's a big one! here's a lil sneak preview to hold you over:

“Wilhelm…” 

His name is breathy and barely there, made audible to his ears only by the slight drop in volume from the orchestra playing.

lots of love to you too 💜

Hi! Wondering if you have any current fave fics recs? 💌

Hey Anon, thanks for the Ask 😊

Ok Ok current faves…My bouncy brain has a lot of trouble picking favorites, and I’m on vacation so I’m deep in the reads. But if I keep it tight to like the last few days I think I can do it!

Land Between Our Bodies @phneltwrites -the most current chapter had me vibrating with so many feelings!

Futile Devices @jordensgolde - I wait at the edge of my seat every week for this update!

Hard to Break @simons-purplehoodie - this is new new and I am already holding my breath with what pain may come!

The honeymoon suite @stretchoutfics -this one was just so so so good!

Align by Ripki- I have never read anything that evokes so much in so few words!

heavy is the head @prncewilhelm -I don’t know how I managed to miss this one, but when the new chapter dropped and everyone was buzzing, I got to catching up!

I’m going to stop there or we will be here all day 🙃

I hope you have a great day! 💜

[prncewilhelm]

veri my sweet thank you!!!

Cotton mouthed and caught completely off guard, Wilhelm tries to fight back as they fly high, dusting the edges of his insides with their wings.

Any other weekend that offer would ignite a firecracker of excitement inside of him.

Re-thinks the shirt he’d pulled over his head hours before and switches it out for a softer cotton and a blue sweater on top.

Each syllable, each letter, designed to fit the shape of Simon’s mouth, for his cadence, for his tone – and for years it’s been worn by others like a costume, ill-fitting and devoid of the true strength behind the word.

💜

WIP word game!

Thank you to @peakotp @malinowaj @gulliblelemon and @bigalockwood for tagging me! 💚💚💚 Ty so much for the tags!! Sorry this took me so long some of you know I'm actually travelling rn!

I'm using the word WINTER.

Also, doing this turns out I write very short sentences. I should start using semi-colons.

“Wille’s been a problem to be managed his whole life. That you want him is everything.”

"I'm done being the hostage."

Normally, Wilhelm is the popcorn guardian because he likes to hand feed Simon little pieces as they go, and because he’s less likely to get so angry at a character he leaps up.

They move Wilhelm around like he’s a piece of furniture to be positioned for best visual effect.

Everything in him rebels against the idea of taking the only thing that’s ever been real in his life and turning it into a show.

"Rosh loves orphans.”

I'm tagging @in-amor-veritas @simonsapelsin @saynomorefic @margotdanslebois @astronicht with the word NEST.

[prncewilhelm]

i just really want to say thank you everyone for your kind words on this chapter - whether you messaged me directly, wrote it in the tags here, ao3 comment or just reblogged, thank you for welcoming my silly little story back with open arms. i wouldn't have blamed any of you for completely giving up on it after such a long time, but it means the world to me that you haven't. more to come!

💜

heavy is the head

At 8 years old, Wilhelm and Simon are inseparable. When Simon abruptly stops showing up to play, Wilhelm just wants his best friend back. 

A 16, Wilhelm is sent to Hillerska to find himself and instead finds Simon – but Simon wants nothing to do with him. 

a slow burn childhood best friends to strangers to somewhat enemies to lovers au 

chapter ten: i will call you by name word count: 24.5k (121k overall - click here to start from the beginning)  summary: “are you happy here? at hillerska?”

simon lifts his head at the question, blinking as wilhelm’s words register. his face doesn’t give anything away, but without a word, he reaches to the lowest key on the piano and presses down hard. a deep and resonant note vibrates into the room. he lets it go after a second, but sound continues to rattle through wilhelm’s bones.

then, simon echoes his question. “are you happy here?”

[prncewilhelm]

thank you for the chapter (and so much more <3). i am going through the worst heartbreak of my life and this soothed the wounds for a while! you're great.

i'm so sorry to hear about the heartbreak. sending lots of love – you can do this. 2025 will lead to better things for you i promise.

as for the chapter, thank you so much. i'm so glad it gave you a little bit of good during a hard time 💜

YOUNG ROYALS 1x06 › 2x06 › 3x06

[prncewilhelm]

i rewatched episode 6 (i like to torture myself) and the scene of wille getting ready to give the statement. it absolutely kills me. how he's so anxious and alone, yet pulls himself together and makes himself do it, does what's expected of him. maybe he thinks it'll be okay, because it's the only way. it'll be even worse if he doesn't do it. and after he puts himself through it, it does get worse 😭

i would love to hear what your favourite scenes are, acting wise!

okay anon i also just rewatched ep 6 also and i am in pain 💔god that build up to him giving the statement, the way his whole resolve just drops in the car as his mum talks him into denying it – the worse thing is like, we know he doesn't believe that it was the only way – we know that he thought that he was going to be able to talk his mum around and get her to understand...

now the acting. this may get hella rambley so i'm going to shove it under the cut because i know the majority of my followers won't care lol <3

edvin's approach to wilhelm's anxiety is most likely my favourite acting aspect of the entire show – it's incredibly nuanced for someone of his age (not in a condescending way bc there's only like 5 years between us lol but like, you hardly see that degree of detail in a way that isn't over played or presented rather than experienced by seasoned Adult Actors). i know he's mentioned previously that it's something he relates to which is very clear in how personalised his work is. when we see wilhelm experience high anxiety it's honest to the moment because it's grounded in truth. he's connected it with his own anxiety and not in a way that lets his own experience do the work (which is method and that's 👎imo) but that it informs the decisions and motions wilhelm goes through in the scenes.

one of my favourite scenes where we see his anxiety manifest is in the scene in episode 5 where wilhelm tells him that he doesn't want to lose him.

the way he's clearly so distressed at the idea of losing simon that you can hear the emotion in his voice from the beginning of the conversation but as the scene goes on, his resolve begins to crumble and the anxiety he's been holding back comes to the surface when they hug. the way edvin let the anxiety inform the scene rather than direct the scene was so impressive – we can see and feel wilhelm's emotions but they don't take over the scene. omar plays wonderfully off them also and the hug they share is heart wrenching.

another scene i find myself rewatching over and over is the one where he confronts august in episode 6. immediately when wilhelm walks into the room you can feel the anger and fury radiate off of him. i really love how it wasn't approached as this huge screaming confrontation – whilst his definitely does yell at him (deservingly so) it again doesn't overpower the emotional drive behind the dialogue. wilhelm isn't just angry here – he's heartbroken.

august was one of wilhelm's last proper connections to erik – we know wilhelm looks up and trust's erik's judgements more so than anyone else so to be betrayed by that, by someone erik loved so much, it's heartbreaking. he was told he could trust him, he was told he would do right by him and he was wrong. all of this pain wilhelm is going through his partly because the queen wants to protect erik's legacy and give his death meaning, and here august completely spat upon it all. edvin does a phenomenal job w the line deliveries, they're clear and devastating and cut right to the heart.

i was going to end the post here, but i'm going to quickly highlight omar's work in The Break Up scene because they both work off of each other beautifully.

there is such a quiet devastation to omar's line delivery here - simon's clearly heartbroken but he's determined to stand up for himself and stand his ground (i just realised that maybe he took sara's words about letting people piss on him truly to heart). the dialogue comes out slowly and not in a way that drags or is over played for the drama, but for the audience to truly understand how difficult it is for simon to say these things AND how important it is for wilhelm to hear them.

i'm now going to end the post otherwise it's gonna get super long lol and i'm not even sure who else is going to read this but! the acting on this show is phenomenal (particularly from these two) and i could probably write many, many posts about it! it's only been a week since i first watched it and i've watched it through maybe 4 or 5 times since then because i can't get enough of the acting. it's truly something special.

thanks for asking anon! ❤️
