#also saying this in the tags coz it may be a controversial take but a lot of the yapping was ranting about my hate for Tommy in part two

[delicatepointeofview]

my mom asked me about the new season of the last of us so of course I gave her a full presentation about the new stills released, a full synopsis of part two of the game, and why I love Abby and feel protective af for Kaitlyn Dever because I don’t want to see a single hate comment go her way. oh and a funny dream I had because I can’t stop yapping sometimes.

Season 2 predictions tagged by @levon

Thanks for the tag @levok! I never do these things coz I always use Tumblr on my phone but I’m working from home today and have access to my laptop so here we go.

1. What month will season 2 be released?

- I’m cynical and am thinking December. I followed the timeline of how long it took to release season 1 and if production and post-production take the same amount of time, it won’t be released until December. Edvin did say they want to get it out as quickly as possible so hopefully they can get it out a bit sooner (although of course I don’t want them to rush it and I doubt they will).

2. What episode will Simon and Wilhelm have their first s2 kiss (who will initiate the kiss)?

- Maybe episode 3-4; I feel like they may have some moments where they get close but stop themselves. Of course Simon should be the one that initiates it since he’s the one that broke off their relationship and he was wronged by Wille, so things need to be on his terms, but I would be fine with Wille initiating it as long as he has clear consent from Simon.

3. How will Simon find out about August being behind the leak?

- I feel like he’ll find out by accident, like by overhearing a conversation, perhaps one that Sara is having, and they’ll have a fight about it and she’ll tell him Wille knew as well. He’ll go to confront Wille about it and it’ll be a very emotional scene.

4. Will there be snow in s2?

- I hope so. 

5. Will there be any physical fight (if yes, who will be involved)?

- Yes. I think there could a confrontation between Simon and August about the video and Wille has to intervene; I picture him holding Simon’s arms back and whispering softly into his ear like, “This isn’t you, this isn’t you,” and eventually Simon just collapses against him (yes, I’m thinking of the scene in the Raven King between Adam and Ronan, okay)

6. Will Wilhelm abdicate?

- No. That will never happen. Lisa has already said she doesn’t want to get too political and that would be WAY too political. I also think it’s not that interesting.

7. Will Wilhelm make a new public statement about his sexuality?

- I could see the season ending with him making a statement and a potential season 3 starting with the aftermath. We know YR loves a spicy cliffhanger.

8. Will there be introduced another queer character (can be a s1 character - if yes, who)?

- I don’t think so, and if there is, it’ll be casually revealed about a background character. It won’t be a major character for sure.

9. Will Sara become a boarder student at Hillerska?

- I’m conflicted about this. Sara sort of blackmailed August by saying she’d tell Wille but Wille already knows. That look between them at the end was interesting for sure. I feel like it could make for good drama with her being a boarder, and it was brought up, so I’m gonna say yes, and it drives a wedge between her and Simon because we already know that’s going to happen.

10. Do we get a forehead kiss between Simon and Wilhelm (if yes, who kisses who)?

- I feel like this has become such a weirdly controversial topic lmao like now that it’s been addressed by the creators, there is this weird attitude that if we get it, it’ll feel too fanservicey. But to me, it’s just another form of intimacy. I think forehead kisses are cute and if we get one, I’ll be happy, because I love any moment of S&W being cute, but I don’t care either way because I’m sure we’re going to get many, many beautiful intimate moments between them, so I’m not really gonna comment on this one.

11. Will Simon and the queen exchange any words (if yes, who will speak first)?

- Yes. I could see Simon speaking first because he has no idea how speaking to royalty works and the Queen is offended; I want them to butt heads. 

12. Will there be clothes exchange between Simon and Wilhelm (if yes, what item)?

- No. I think they’ll spend most of the season not in a relationship so there won’t really be much opportunity. Maybe in a potential season 3 when they’re in an established relationship. 

13. Will Sara speak any Spanish?

- No. I think she’s going to distance herself from her family even more.

14. Will Simon become aware of Wilhelm's anxiety?

- Yes.

15. Will Wilhelm break the 4th wall at some point?

- Duh. It’s like, a thing at this point, and Edvin is so good at it.

16. Will Alex get some sort of revenge (if yes, how)?

- No. I love Alex and his actor but he really was not a very significant character; he served his purpose for the plot and I also don’t like revenge plots; I thin they’re cheesy. However, the casting call requesting a specifically East Asian actor does make me wonder...

17. Will Erik appear in any form (letter, flashback, etc.)?

- Yes. I think it could really add a lot to the story to see a flashback.

18. How many characters will cry (with tears) - who?

- Simon, Wille and Sara. I wanna see those bitches SOB. They need it; they are all so god damn emotionally repressed. Especially Simon; boy needs to let it out.

19. Will Simon and/or Wilhelm say 'Jag älskar dig' (if yes, who says it first - will they both say it)?

- Yes. I could see Wille saying it to Simon again in a sort of apology type scene and Simon still doesn’t say it back. Simon saying it back has to be a BIG moment and I think it would hit even harder if Wille says it AGAIN and Simon still doesn’t say it. What can I say? I love pain.

20. How many times will we see Simon eat pasta?

- 3

21. Who will have the first kiss in season 2 (named characters)?

- Sara and August. Gross.

22. Will Simon and Wilhelm have any PDA (if yes, what kind)?

- Yes. I could see their first significant PDA moment being hand-holding; I doubt they’d kiss in public.
