I love the things that the Trojans are doing to include Jean throughout the book, even when they aren’t explicitly mentioned. Like Cody repeatedly getting new fruits for Jean to try, the bandaids that Emma gives him, the double ds regularly including him in their conversations even when he doesn’t respond. It’s just so sweet and clearly develops all of Jeans relationships in a subtle way.

Listen I know why it wasn’t included and I did enjoy the red white and royal blue movie but man I missed the political aspects from the book.

(I wrote this when the movie was first released and never posted it but just rewatched it and this still remains true and makes me sad that it'll likely remain the same in the sequel)

Just saw someone call bummy a "will they/ won't they situationship." Is the will they in the room with us right now. What are we even talking about at this point

So like that conversation with Kevin about his drinking and coping with their memories from the nest is what prompts Jean to start talking to Bee right. Like right after that conversation he starts going to exposure therapy for water. That’s the reason right. That’s what I was supposed to get from that. Does that mean that Kevin is trying to stop relying on alcohol, because that was his part of the deal right. There is just so much happening with the foxes in the background. But also Jean still keeping his promises to Kevin regardless of everything else going on with their relationship is killing me.

I just saw an anon who was talking about how upset they were about the lack of development between Bummy, especially when compared to the other couples in the show. And I’m like it’s almost like Tommy was never meant to be a main character. Like it has been said pretty explicitly within multiple interviews by multiple people that Tommy was not going to be Bucks forever relationship. Oliver was pretty obviously rooting against them in every interview he gave about their relationship. Why are you comparing Maddie & Chim’s, and Bobby & Athena’s relationship developments which consisted of two already established main characters respectively, to Bummy which was never supposed to last. Of course there wasn’t as much development there is never any development with any of Buck’s and Eddie’s relationships with whatever love interests they get. Nobody has ever complained about the lack of development in their relationships in the past. Also Athena & Bobby really didn’t get that much relationship development until they had already been together for a while, so you had even less of a reason to expect a more of Bummy.

Like yes obviously this was an important relationship for Buck, in that he realized his sexuality, but it has been said since the beginning that it was never going to be endgame, what did you honestly expect.

Encephalitis comes up in my classes too often for my first association to still be Will Graham and nbc Hannibal. The permanent brain damage this show causes is ridiculous (like the brain damage that Will got from the encephalitis that Hannibal was constantly gaslighting him about)

It’s so funny to me that Neil was like I must not reveal that I speak multiple languages then immediately goes to yell at Kevin in French because Andrew looked through his stuff. Like he’s not even the one you should be yelling at.

[madelinesapling]

I looked it up because I wasn’t sure how to pronounce it but this killed me a little bit

YOUNG ROYALS SEASON 3 SPOILERS

The part when Nils and August were talking about how uncomfortable they felt with the public knowing about the initiation stuff. I just wanted to shake august and be like that feeling is exactly why Wilhelm and Simon will never be able to forgive you. Obviously it’s not the same situation and the public have access to that kind of intimate information about you is terrifying for anybody but august is still trying to deflect blame and downplay what he did to wilmon.
