I wanted Simon to have one emotional breakdown this season but not to be in constant pain because of Wille and their relationship! I can‘t see Simon cry anymore, it hurts so much 😭

I swear there’s a wonderful (though rather melancholy) Wilmon Young Royals edit set to “Cinnamon Girl” by Lana Del Rey. Naturally I can’t find it now, but the lyric above makes me think of it.

— Lana Del Rey; Cinnamon Girl

MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO—“Sad Simon Lives Again” 55th Anniversary Version:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2N9fZs0Nbo  ...This was the first single by Tim Andrews a.k.a. Chris Andrews after he cut loose from Fleur de Lys in 1967. He was signed by renowned producer, promoter, and music executive Tony Hall, who’d plugged The Beatles, Carmen McRae, and later inked Black Sabbath’s first record deal. “Sad Simon” was tailored for Tim’s voice by songwriter Mike Noble (who went on to work with Joan Armatrading, John Kongos, and Ralph McTell). It’s a bittersweet song about waiting for love, but Simon is going to rebound. The single didn’t chart when Parlophone issued it in December 1967, but it was a solid debut and it eventually found an audience with fans of the “baroque/chamber pop” subgenre —when classical music forms and instrumentation are integrated with psychedelic rock, championed by The Beach Boys, Beatles, Bee Gees, Left Banke, Moody Blues, Procol Harum, etc.—though the jazzy bridge comes out of the Zombies playbook.

If this is your introduction to Chris Andrews, he’s a British singer-songwriter and recording artist whose songs have been covered by Roger Daltrey, David Essex, and Davy Jones (Monkees). Under the name Tim Andrews he was a champion of late 60s psychedelic pop and (later), as Kris Ryder, he released New Wave synthpop sides in the 80s, and he’s still cranking out new music to the world.

sorry this interaction wouldn't leave us alone

This totally makes sense. We’ve canonically seen Micke handling Simon violently. And Simon didn’t react with total shock, suggesting it’s happened before when Micke was drunk and angry.

Also, it would explain Sara’s absolute rage at Micke. And her sense of betrayal at Simon for reinitiating contact with Micke, if Micke has pushed her around and she’s witnessed him hurt Simon as well. And Sara’s anger at Linda for not getting her kids away from Micke sooner. I don’t think it’s only about them having to witness his descent into self/destruction. It’s probably also about what he did when he was under the influence.

Finally, Linda freezing up at Lucia when Micke arrived. She was like a deer in the headlights, no visible response whatsoever to his sudden appearance at her side. That’s not a particularly normal reaction to unexpectedly seeing your non-abusive ex-husband. More like a trauma response.

Micke probably didn’t beat his wife and kids to a pulp when he was drunk or high. But I strongly suspect he did get physical with all of them on occasion. Enough that they’re physically afraid of him.

When Wille tries to touch Simon’s face, at the field, he immediately reacts by avoiding the touch.

Simon had the same reaction when his dad finds out that he stoles his pills.

In the opening scene of episode 5, Simon woke up as soon as Wille hand reached his face.

I know he probably reacted in that way 'cause he was already traumatized for what happened earlier with his father but maybe he also remembered the abuse received from him when Simon was kid and Micke used substances?

Also, Wille, at the field, was in a similar state of Micke. This makes Simon feel vulnerable.

I know that anyone haven't specified if Micke has been aggressive with his kids in the past, but it would makes sense.

i was obsessed with them when i was 8 and i am still obsessed with them now

fionna and cake drawings before and after watching the episodes so far. it’s nostalgic and somehow cathartic and poignant and relatable and—it just started

Would Simon do cute-sy couple things with MOB in public? Hand holding, kisses/cuddles, pet names? Or since they are out in the open, is he always reserved until they are in a restaurant or in the car- just away from the public eye

mail-order bride

in private, this man is on his knees for his wife. in the car, he'll put his hand over yours on your thigh or just look over at you time to time to check on you. at home, he fixes your hair for you, offers to cut your nails if you don't get them done, oils your hair, brushes it. he learns your skincare routine and will help you in the bathroom mirror, smoothing it over your face and making sure your skin is hydrated and treated. he definitely asked you to show him how you take off your makeup so that he can help you do it at the end of a long day; he'll come into the bedroom with micellar water and cotton and have you lay your head in his lap as he takes it off for you and murmurs how pretty you are.

he loves putting your shoes on for you, especially if there's laces or things to tie. gets on one knee for you and buckles your heels or ties your runners or zips up your boots.

he doesn't like when you use the stool to get to the top shelf. he likes showing off his strength, picking you up to get you to the shelf, groping you a little and making your head spin when he sets you down and buries his face into your neck.

in public, he's still affectionate, but he doens't initiate much. but he never turns his girl away.

he always wears his mask, so kissing doesn't happen much, but you make it work. when he buys you some flowers at the farmers' market, you kiss him over the mask softly, cooing in his ear, telling him he's so nice, he's so kind. doesn't say anything because he's blushing mad under the mask.

when you're walking along the main road checking out the shops, you reach over and take his hand, and he intertwines your fingers gently as you keep walking.

simon always keeps you away from the road. subconsciously even, always getting between you and someone else, always standing at your back, glaring when someone looks your way too long or looks at you funny. he carries your things for you; shopping bags, groceries, heavy packages, he doesn't let you hold a thing, but you don't mind, especially when the items get heavy. you try not to stare too long as he grunts when he lifts up a heavy box for you, big arms bulging as he carries it into the house.

calls you love, sweetheart, luvvie. his most frequently-used petname is baby, he adores calling you that, cause that's what you are to him. in public, baby makes you shy, in the bedroom, it has you a whining, squirmy little mess.

he doesn't love to be too affectionate in public though. the most he does is hold your hand or keep you close; at the pub, he likes when you sit in his lap sometimes, but he keeps it very cool and casual. although he does grip your chin sometimes or say something into your ear, and it definitely has you squeezing your legs together when you think a little too much about it (effortless sex appeal ok).

in a restaurant, simon is just a straight gentleman. opening doors for you, pulling out your chair, taking your purse for you to hold it or set it aside (and to keep you from paying, although it's adorable when you use the credit card he gave you to give to the waiter). when you need to go to the toilet, he gets up, takes your hand, walks you over so he can see you go inside safely. doesn't matter if it's a fast food place or a fancy restaurant, simon is just always concerned about you and can't sit still unless he knows you get to and from somewhere safely.

with his mask on in public, it's a lot of noses touching, foreheads pressing together, chaste kisses through cloth. always brief and always quiet, but they are intimate exchanges anyways. they are almost always silent, and you speak with nothing but your eyes, but you don't need much else with simon. you know each other by now, can read each other, and you take comfort in your new reality.

he is most himself at home, though. most himself without his mask, cooking you dinner, leaning over you as you bake something for him in your new cast iron pan (he saw the red color of it and thought of you in that cherry dress, couldn't help himself). he's most himself feeding the cats, cutting up whole sardines and quail eggs, a pump of salmon oil and some freeze-dried chicken hearts (the black cat prefers veggies, too, in an elevated bowl--the orange one is forced to eat from a lick mat or else she'll eat too fast for her own good). he's most himself watching you in the mirror, stealing glances of you coming out of the shower, tucking you into bed.

and he feels the most alone when he stands in front of you, duffel bag over his shoulder as johnny honks on the car horn outside. he feels the most alone, the saddest, when he tries to ignore your trembling lip and teary eyes as he says goodbye to you.

in his own home, mask on, feeling so close to you and yet somehow, the farthest from you. and when he kisses you goodbye, mask hiked up over his nose, he tries to forget the taste of your tears and the sound of your choked i love you.

if he thinks about it too long, he won't move from this spot.

Season 3 stole Simon’s sass.

oh man. i'm still not over how they showed that the relationship was hurting simon. it's so subtle but so brilliant. it's like he's slowly folding in on himself throughout the season. like the joy is seeping out of his body and he gets so quiet, he never used to be so quiet, it's utterly heartbreaking. how he just starts accepting things he previously wouldn't have accepted. how he stops speaking up for himself. how he finds himself confronted with problems that are too big for him to handle over and over again until it breaks him. how he wants to help wille but can't. god, it's so brilliantly done. i can't wait to see how they are going to resolve this

[bunnysnared]

a lil bit older now, but some simon sketches ♡

[panicked-herb]

I like to think that Simon finds the remains the restaurant he and Betty had dates in post-cannon. I also like to think that Betty doesn't fully remember what the restaurant looks like.

"he asked for no pickles"

[raincitygirl76]

I’m not seeing any smiley Simon. It’s all either pensive or actively sad Simon. I want to wrap him in a fluffy blanket and feed him hot cocoa until he smiles.

S3 Simon

My mom named one of the street cats she feeds Tommy, so I thought to myself, "what if..."

[chaosandmarigolds]

Reader, after getting the tiniest amount of constructive criticism: right so I’m gonna go scream into the void

ghost, confused as they walk over to him, bury their face into his chest and then scream:

reader, turning back to Price: okay continue.
