Simon Eriksson | STARBOY [Young Royals]

Since I've finished the show about a month ago I wanted to make an edit simply about Simon because he quickly became one of my all time favorite characters + one of my comfort characters. :,)
While he obviously is our friendly sunshine boy; I also adore that he doesn't take shit from no one and is sassy at times. Plus, I actually really liked how he chose himself for once in the end even though he knew it would hurt himself and Wilhelm. I could write whole Essays about why I adore this character so much but I am way too lazy to do that right now lmao.
I actually started this edit about 2 weeks ago but literally couldn't finish it BECAUSE I hyperfixated on Young Royals AND especially Omar Rudberg, who portrayed this beautiful character. So I obviously had the motivation to make an edit but I was way too busy to dive deeper into what I could find about the actors involved + watch edits from others of the show + rewatch it like 20+ times AND refresh twitter every 20 seconds so I wouldn't miss any updates lol.
While I knew I wanted to make an edit simply for Simon, I got the idea to use the song "Starboy" from the Wilhelm edit by KINOwoman. In the past I already planned to make an edit with this song, but watching that edit reminded me of it again, so I feel like it's appropiate to give credit. :)
If anyone of you all haven't watch the show yet: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
It's a realistic portrayal of lgtbqa+ with a couple that actually communicates, that isn't fetishized or sexualized + the show has an awesome soundtrack.
They let the actors have acne and have actors the same or similar age the characters they play are which is super refreshing. :,) They reuse clothes and outfits and they don't let the girls backstab each other over a boy.
I can't really formulate or put into words what the show started to mean to me the past few weeks, especially the main actors Omar and Edvin. They deserve everything and more. :,)

Sometimes, I forget how fierce & assertive Simon could be because of how often I see him being a softie with Wilhelm, Sara, and his mother. The way he stands up for his truths, not letting anyone stomp him down (or be kept in the dark) bcos he knows he deserves better, justifies his decision at the end of s1. Throughout the s2, he’s been given options (to not be with Wilhelm) and he tries to explore/escape difficult emotions with these (with a push from friends and mother), but he also sees how wilhelm longs for him (and subconsciously, he knows he himself longs for wilhelm too) and how willing wilhelm to chose him instead of the crown. His heart is fierce and assertive but he’s also soft and warm for the people he loves, so he’s willing to be kept in the dark. What’s funny is how wilhelm’s decision of telling the truth shows these two’s development from mostly scared + unconfident s1 wilhelm to assertive and confident s2 wilhelm AND not-willing-to-compromise-his-public-identify simon to willing-to-compromise his-public-identity simon. Difficulties forces people to grow. It’s lovely how we see these two grow *towards each other.*
