Young Royals | Season 1 Episode 5 | Fish Scene

[young-royals-confessions]

Ok so this is my propaganda for the fish tank kiss because it has to win (this duel and the whole tournament). 

I understand that the happy ending kiss is more important in the storyline, but let’s look at these kisses from an “intimacy perspective”. 

The fish tank kiss has so much build-up. Wilhelm’s cheeky smile and Simon having trouble speaking, it’s so cute. The whole scene is incredibly sensual. There are all these little things like Wilhelm’s nose brushing against Simon’s neck or Simon caressing Wilhelm’s arms and leaning back into his embrace. Then the actual kiss is absolute perfection. Wilhelm pulling Simon towards him is so hot and Simon looks so open like he is just letting Wilhelm kiss him. The chemistry is insane. The scene’s conclusion with Simon worrying about being heard, Wilhelm joking and them giggling makes the scene so real. It really feels like you are witnessing two people in love, not just characters on a show.

My take is that happy ending kiss could happen in any show but only young royals could deliver the fish tank kiss.

I love the warm golden glow in this scene as much as @ireneaesthetic does. I mean, I love her gifs for all the obvious reasons as well. I’m geeking out about how the intimacy coordinator structured the scene, and how @ireneaesthetic breaks down all the little moments. But I’m also geeking out about the director’s lighting choices.

Pointing out little moments and details of one of my fav scenes that need to be remembered.

fish scene • episode 5

first of all, the lighting makes it all even more special.

simon’s sigh and wille’s hinted smile, right after he leans on the shoulder. our boy knows exactly what he’s doing.

their fingers almost intertwining with each other and simon’s hands tracing wille’s embrace.

their cheeks rubbing and this time it’s wilhelm the one getting along with simon’s movement, eyes closed to dive into it.

the. hand. through. the. curls, along with wille’s watch and simon’s visible thumb letting us know their hands are placed on each other’s waist.

simon holding into the kiss, like his life depends on it, and wille tilting the head back to lead him through it.

this shot and the dynamic of it are so loud: both of them are fully lost in the moment and melted into each other’s lips, in the slow rhythm of the kiss, in the pleasant sensation, in the growing tension, in their skin touch, in the way they’re almost senseless but wilhelm’s still fully in control of their body movements, simon’s body movements, pushing him back and himself forward, driven by his own intention.

simon’s hand sliding down wille’s chest.

simon maintaining physical contact, holding wille’s hand or arm, when he turns around.

wilhelm drawing attention by placing the hand on his back and the instinctive reaction that follows. this sequence is a 10/10.

it’s not properly shown to us, but simon guiding wille’s hands to his own waist and pulling him closer lives in my mind rent free.

The hideous watch of sad symbolism!!! Sniffle!

On a practical note, the fact that nobody bothered adjusting the band to fit Wilhelm’s more slender wrist before they handed him his dead big brother’s fancy watch makes me nuts. Constantly wearing a watch that’s too big for my wrist would irritate me.

But I understand why Wilhelm doesn’t take it to a jeweller and get the band tightened. That would mean admitting that Erik is never coming back to life and won’t ever ask for his watch back. There’s so much OTHER shit happening in the show that sometimes I forget Wilhelm lost a member of his immediate family less than 6 months ago in canon. Worse, it was the member of his immediate family he was closest to, and the one who was most affectionate with him. I’m sure Kristina and Ludvig are trying their best, but they don’t seem very demonstrative, unlike Erik.

The watch band not fitting is also symbolic of the fact that Wilhelm was never meant to be Crown Prince. He’s taken on the role by necessity following a tragedy. It’s a role he never wanted or expected to have, and it’s one he’s ill-suited for, temperamentally. But this clunky, heavy, expensive watch has been fastened around his skinny wrist all the same. He tries to become a carbon copy of Erik in Season 1, and of course, fails.

But we also see that in Season 2, although the watch remains too big, Wilhelm is evolving to meet these new circumstances. He continues to grieve Erik, he’s working in therapy on his sense of obligation to the monarchy as an institution, he even has an opportunity to walk away once he’s 18 and let August take over. And at the end of S2, he decides he won’t be buffeted by the demands of the royal court anymore to hide who he is, and keep Simon as a shameful secret. In 2.06, Wilhelm finds his voice, and starts shaping his role to suit himself, rather than contorting himself to try and fit into the Crown Prince mould the Royal Court has decreed.

But the watch is still ugly, and the band still doesn’t fit.

Do you think Simon knew what was gonna happen at their "gaming" day? Because it seemed more like he was ready to game for real but Wille was the one who initiated the kissing tho 😁
