#Ayub young royals

[sflow-er]

We most certainly can! The only gifs I found were of Simon's face, so here's a screenshot to commemorate both sides of this heartwarming moment.

And while we're on the subject of the Bjärstad trio, I also want to acknowledge Ayub's Kim K. bit in S1. He knows when and how to get Simon out of his head and bring some much-needed levity to the situation, and I just feel like that's a really lovely sign of emotional intimacy between them (and Rosh, who quickly jumps on board).

This post could use some non-sexual intimate moments between the romantic ships as well. I'll reblog with my faves tomorrow but if you have any to share, please do!

Let's celebrate non-sexual intimacy in YR!

Inspired by @bluedalahorse's tags on this post by @starvalisedham, I thought it would be fun to celebrate our favourite moments of non-sexual intimacy in the show. Platonic, familial, romantic but not sexual - please share your faves in text, image, or GIF form!

Here are some of mine!

- Of course I must start with this touching (pun intended) moment between Sara and Felice. It's the first of so many beautiful, intimate friend scenes between them and I love it so much!

- The girl group in general and Stella and Fredrika in particular are shown being very tactile with each other all through the show. This shot of Stedrika at movie night is just adorable and made all the sweeter by the absence of romantic hints at this point of the story.

- Speaking of adorable, this sibling hug between Simon and Sara (and the teasing that precedes it) is a huge favourite of mine! I wish my brother and I had retained this level of physical and emotional comfort with each other past childhood.

- Another fave is the shot of Nils and Vincent comforting August. It's not often we see such vulnerability and intimacy depicted between guys their age - especially guys who have embodied very harmful sides of masculinity at various points of the story. It gives me hope for their future growth!

- And because this wouldn't be a post by me without a Henry reference... I do love how comfortable he and Walter seem to be getting in each other's personal space. Whether you choose to read it as romantic or platonic, the meadow scene is a really good example of them living their own lives and having their own little moments of affectionate interaction in the background of the big drama!

What are some of your favourites? They can be between Wilmon too! I just ruled them out because I wanted to highlight the other characters first.

It's adorable that Simon comes home and Rosh and Ayub are just sitting in his room playing video games and eating pizza. They're FAMILY

Ayub being there in this scene is actually giving me life?? I love this friendship and I hope this means more of him and Wille too. And emotional support for Simon because I’m sure boy will need all of it.

obsessed with ayub being a third wheel to wilmon bc he was also a third wheel with marcus and just something about him seeing the contrast of simon with marcus and with wille makes me emotional bc the difference is so clear

The infinite wisdom of Rosh

Sometimes I have well thought-out meta or analysis for these posts. Other times it makes sense to just state my favorite thing a character does and let the dialogue speak for itself. Like when Rosh teases Simon about rowing. Can a girl be more iconic?

Still gonna do a reenactment of the dialogue with my 18” doll collection, of course.

The outfits are emotionally correct even if they aren’t accurate for this scene. Shh go with it.

[Simon and Ayub sitting together, with a pile of rocks in front of Ayub] Ayub, gesturing to empty space in front of Simon: Okay, dude, on this side are all the times I've gotten mad at you for having a problem. Zero times. Ayub, gesturing to the rocks: And on THIS side are all the times I was upset because you had a problem and you didn't tell me, so I couldn't help. Ayub: Now. What do we do with problems? Simon: Work harder to hide them so you won't be sad. Ayub: Ayub: I'm getting another rock.

I want to know how the conversation between Rosh and Ayub went where they decided which one of them was going to risk having the Prince of Sweden on the back of their bike without a helmet on.

[theaviatorthatcouldnotfly]

from the setup of this shot, it looks a bit like sara and simon are hanging out at the party (seeing as if they weren't simon would probably be on the opposite side of the room) AND ayub is there with them- look at the hair and the side profile- and he's talking to sara. so assuming this party happens towards the end of the season, somewhere around episode 5, I think it's safe to assume that simon and sara are at least amicable again!

(and if ayub is there... maybe rosh will be, too????)

bonus: assuming that really is sara and ayub with simon, they're gonna be direct witnesses of this Wilmon Staring Contest! and if the hallway scene does take place after this, they're likely gonna notice that simon and wille have both disappeared. hmmmmm

Do you think once Wille is friends with Ayub he’ll ask him who was the best first date between him and Marcus? Because Ayub third wheeled both the football and the karaoke date. And Wille will for sure just want the confirmation that he’s better than Marcus in every way (Felice already confirmed he’s more handsome).

Rosh and Ayub appreciate post they're my little guys what little dudes they're doing so good.
