SIMON ERIKSSON [is really going through it] YOUNG ROYALS | Season 3 Episode 3

I don't understand how Henry, Walter, Stella, and Fredrika are spared so much heat and criticism other characters get for being toxic, privileged, and mean. To be honest I don't see a big difference between their behavior and that of the August / Nils / Vincent crew (who I don't like either). I know it's the point of their characters but I'm still stuck on the comments they all made in the classroom scene in S1, criticizing welfare recipients and especially what Henry said to Simon about what his dad did. Then in s3 the way Stella treated Rosh like a plaything, then were supposed to root for her and Fredrika? Idk. I just don't get the love.

DROP THE SCENE... Drop it now give us all deleted scenes

This is all I ever wanted. Kissing in public.

[sflow-er]

In the last couple of days, I've seen people on various sites say stuff like "there was supposed to be a Walty kiss in the finale but the actors were uncomfortable with it." The only source for this info seems to be "someone said", and given that Uno seemed surprisingly chill about the shipping in his PRP interview, I suspect it might just be one of those rumours that folks on Xitter start for fun.

However.

Whether there's any truth to this rumour or not, Uno, Fabian and the makers of the show owed the viewers nothing. Not a damn thing.

These two background characters were very clearly written as platonic friends to begin with; the rest was just interpretation by those of us who were fascinated by them. The fact that there actually was a very obviously shippy little Walty scene in the finale is an absolutely massive nod to our side of the fandom, and we should be fucking ecstatic that they put that in. Especially if the actors were uncomfortable. Even if they weren't, they did not sign up to play lovers, let alone cater to fic readers and writers, and we need to respect the hell out of that.

So please. Be happy with what we got, and read/write the rest on Ao3. And in case it needs to be said, do not harass the actors with Walty comments or content. Henry and Walter belong to us now, but Fabian and Uno never did.

Henry: Guys, how should I finish my Valentine’s poem? Nils: Roses are red, violets are blue, and guess what? My bed has room for two. Henry: Oh my God. Alexander: Twinkle twinkle little star, we could do it in my car. Henry: No. Stop. Vincent: Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, I can make you scream. Henry: Fuck you all, I’m leaving.

Drabble Challenge #2: Alcohol (Alexander)

Part #2 of Makes the Medicine Go Down, a story told over seven drabbles from seven different POVs. You can read the sequence from the beginning over at AO3.

While the overarching story concerns Vincent, I’ve included glimpses of multiple characters’ futures.

This drabble challenge was organized by our pals at @youngroyals-events. Enjoy!

Alcohol (Alexander)

Alexander shows off, paying for everyone’s alcohol at young Hillis alumni socials. He can afford it, and it’s more powerful than pouring the drinks.

He keeps a mental list of topics his inebriated schoolmates bring up.

Like how Vincent is obsessed with being married.

“You need a wife.” Vincent plops down between Henry and Walter and clamps an advising hand on each of their shoulders. “They remember birthdays. They know what to shop for. They’re organized. Wives? Are a life hack.”

So wives are first years for life after graduation. Alexander keeps the thought to himself and orders another round.

Over analyzing the Henry x Valter meadow scene because it’s been living in my head rent free

Okay, it seems like I’m not the only one obsessing over the scene in the final episode where Henry lies drunk on a field and Valter (or Walter) picks him up. Walty shippers interpret this as a confirmation of their relationship, while other see this as a symbol of Wille’s freedom. Let’s take a deep dive into both analysis!

By this time we know that Young Royals almost always have deeper intentions with the way things are written and directed. Close ups, props and the order in which the scenes are put are planned out to perfection and rarely a coincidence. This scene came immediately after the Stedrika scene, indicating that Henry and Valter, just like Stella and Fredrika, might have had their own friends-to lovers-story.

The scene is also parallel to Wilmon’s football field scene in season one. In both scenes, one of the boys lays barely conscious in the grass and gets picked by someone who is close to them. For Wille, it’s Simon. For Henry, it’s Valter.

This might be a hint that Walty had their own Wilmon moment and that something happened between the them romanticly.

Another part of the fandom believes this was not a Walty confirmation, but instead an confirmation of Wille’s freedom. Throughout the series, Henry has always interrupted Wille during the most inappropriate moments.

Henry has been a reminder to both Wille as well as the audience that no matter what Wille did, he would always have eyes on him. He would always have a responsibility he couldn’t just give up. Henry’s passing out could be an indication that he’s not needed anymore, because Wille is now free. Free from the responsibility, free from everyone’s eyes, free from the burden.

The story telling in Young Royals has always been limited to the perspective of five characters: Wille, Simon, Felice, Sara and August. Even if we followed the storyline of other characters, like Stella and Fredrika, it was always told through the perspectives of the main five. This is one of the few scenes, if not the only one, that doesn’t do so. Maybe the writers/directors wants the audience to know what the other characters don’t know yet, which is that Wille is about to give up the throne.

What do you think the meadow scene meant? Walty confirmation or Wille’s freedom confirmation? Why wasn’t it filmed through any of the main five’s perspectives? Feel free to share your own thoughts and opinions!

(Side note: can we just appreciate how beautiful the entire scene is? It looked like an entire renaissance fairy painting! Minus the bottle of alcohol lol).

just saw a (wonderfully crafted and thought out, no judgement or hate here) post about henry and walter which essentially talked about how they are heterosexual parallels or whatever and reading that was just wild bc its easy to forget that walty is in fact not canon and they barely even have any real scenes in the show at all and almost everything i think i know about them is made up

[pazoo-underscore]

I am actually so normal about Henry and Walter from young royals. sooooooo normal.

[young-royals-confessions]

This has probably been said before but whatevs. As a casual Walty shipper, I feel like Walter would regularly call Henry Hen as a nickname, but Walter’s the ONLY person that’s allowed to call him that. Like anyone else who tried calling him Hen would get immediately corrected, because that’s Walter thing and no one else’s. And they would get defensive if anyone ever questioned them on it.

[waltybrainrot]

(walty) things i don't think we talk about nearly enough:

henry finding out his dad and walter's mum dated when they were younger because he talks abt walter at home to his parents <3 ("i know because my dad recognized your surname") side note: this means walter has his mother's surname, not his father's

walter having braces in season 1

the fact they sat behind wilmon at the movie night and noticed them holding hands but didn't spread this gossip to anyone else at the school (until after the video leaks)

them wearing matching shirts to rowing practice (before henry quit)

them tallking about a security guard "grabbing them" before wille interrupts lol. probably escorted out from somewhere for being disruptive ? checks out (2x01)

walter clearly knowing Society intel from henry since he's there for the convo abt alexander and the drugs in 2x01

henry cheering for the rowing team in 2x03 and putting his hands to the side of his mouth to yell when walter switches in

them seeming to become genuine friends with alexander in season 3 (the three of them showing up clearly having pre-gamed and with neon makeup in the finale <3)

henry magically having a white shirt for the party after telling wilmon he didn't have any white clothes. walter's ? alexander's maybe ?

we do talk about this a lot actually but The Meadow Scene

[frogprinsen]

Walter: Simon and Wilhelm? I don’t see it.

Henry:

Walter: Oh God, now I see it.

Henry:

Walter: Henry, help, I can’t stop seeing it.
