CURRENTLY ON A SOCIAL MEDIA HIATUS. 99% of the time I'm here I should be doing something else. She/her, German, bisexual, Rawenclaw, queer yearning for a love like Simon's and Wille's, trying to be a writer

Young Royals S2: A Summary

At my core I’m a hater, and I realized it’s been long since I posted hate about the upcoming rwrb movie, and that needs to change.

I hate it. It hasn’t even come out yet I hate it. I know I will hate it. Idk if I’m even going to see it, putting myself through that pain for around an hour doesn’t seem worth it.

Like, talking as someone who loves rwrb, it’s one of my favorite fictional books, the amount of comfort it brings me is stupid, is one of the books where I truly saw myself.

But like, c’mon. They are changing characters, changing the plot, and also I really dislike Alex’s actor. He looks in his late 30s. And like, this isn’t bodyshaming or anything like that, but Alex is supposed to be 21 at the start of the book, and 22 at the end. He’s kind of supposed to look like, y’know, a 21 year old.

Also the actor is a nft guy, so.

And Nora’s actor isn’t Jewish.

(AND WHERE IS MY GIRL JUNE)

Anyway, I’m pretending it’s not a thing, and than it’s not happening. Instead, I’m focusing all my attention on Henry’s chapter. Henry’s chapter is the only thing keeping me going. It was beautiful. A piece of art. Life-changing. The best thing I have ever read.

I’d like to again address the elephant in the room that people can’t stop talking about, because we can’t normalize this…

In the upcoming Amazon movie Red, White & Royal Blue, they hired actors to authentically fit the ethnicities and cultures of the characters they are portraying. (I.e. Mexican to play Mexican, British to play British, South East Asian to play South East Asian, Latino to play Latino, etc etc etc.) These characters are all from a previously written and widely read novel of the same name. They didn’t invent new characters (technically).

The only character that is not being played by an actor of the same background is the only Jewish character in the entire book/movie.

The actress’ family is openly Christian in faith, and very devoted to their church (as is their right). Being Jewish is not a purely religious based thing like so many assume, it’s an ethno-religion, meaning it is also an ethnicity and even a race (depending on who you ask). Being Jewish is passed on from mother to child, as Rachel’s mom isn’t Jewish, technically Rachel wouldn’t be seen as Jewish either in the eyes of most branches of Judaism. In the Reform movement, you can still be seen as ethnically Jewish if your mom isn’t Jewish as long as you are raised fully Jewish or at least no other religion— which, through childhood photos, her mom’s past employment at the church, and Rachel’s own involvement with church and her own words, it’s pretty clear that wasn’t the case here either.

The movie literally erased a minority ethnicity. Let me repeat that, they. Erased. A. Minority. Ethnicity.

When the director (Lopez), executive producer (Constable), and the chief creative (Weiss) of the movie were called out on it and also informed of the large amounts of antisemitic hate being thrown around… They all blocked anyone who said anything.

The author of the book has also not said anything even when those who are saying how happy they are that Nora is no longer Jewish, do so in the name of CMQ. Casey is aware, as are their agents, but they remain silent.

If you think this is all okay, or you don’t see the problem with erasing the Jewish character from the movie… I assume you’re alright with all other aspects of antisemitism as well, because this is Jew-erasure. This is not okay.

ETA before anyone says anything: People who convert into Judaism are seen as ethnically Jewish since they are joining the tribe. Converts have children who are ethnically Jewish. Rachel isn’t a convert nor is the character she’s playing, therefore anything about converts in this conversation is just being used to undermine Jews.

The young royals (hurt/comfort) to rwrb (comfort/comfort) to tsoa (crumbs of comfort/lots of hurt) pipeline is so real. also makes no sense whatsoever but i can’t be alone in this right??

alex would rig henry’s spotify wrapped by playing the weirdest music on his account when he’s not paying attention and would die of laughter as henry stared at his phone utterly confused

When the movie comes out, the tag will not be filled with the book, but with the movie. With the actors and edits and people who have never read the book, so they probably don’t know about June or about Alex discovering his bisexuality.

I hate it here.

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

Maybe I’m the last one to discover this but after the e-mails, Bea plays Heroes by Bowie in her guitar, right?

Well

This song tells the story of a German couple who are so determined to be together despite the political climate of the day that was preventing them and, in that desperation, they meet every day under a gun turret on The Berlin Wall.

DEAR THISBE I WISH THERE WEREN’T A WALL

WHY DO EVERYDAY I FIND NEW SYMBOLISM IN THIS BOOK, FUCK

Prepare

An excerpt from it (it’s still a draft)

Growing up in Texas, their rooms were arranged in the same configuration, on either side of the hallway. Back then, you could tell June’s ambition of the month by what covered the walls. At twelve, it was watercolor paintings. At fifteen, lunar calendars and charts of crystals. At sixteen, clippings from The Atlantic, a UT Austin pennant, Gloria Steinem, Zora Neale Hurston, and excerpts from the papers of Dolores Huerta.

His own room was forever the same, just steadily more stuffed with lacrosse trophies and piles of AP coursework. (Page 2)

So much to say.

Their rooms were in different sides of the hallway. June’s room was constantly changing, filled with personal stuff. The walls were filled with personal stuff. Personal interests. Alex’s room wasn’t.

June was more open about herself and her tastes, hanging them in the wall for everyone to see, because why should she hide them? On the other hand, Alex wasn’t as open. His room was always the same, as if he never changed at all, which was not true. It was only than those changes happened inside of him, and he didn’t show them outside. Aside from the physical changes from growing up he could not hide, everything else he buried deep down.

“Just steadily more stuffed with lacrosse trophies and piles of AP coursework.” Alex overworks himself, he needs to be perfect. So that’s what he shows everyone. The perfect version of him. The one than wins lacrosse trophies and the one than has amazing grades and cares about school.

Their rooms, aside from being a representation of how they were seen by the outside world, could also be a representation of themselves.

June is constantly changing, having million of different interests, enjoying different stuff. Appropriate stuff for her age. At 12, watercolor paintings. That’s appropriate for a kid. At 15, astrology. Also appropriate for a 15 year old. At 16, journalism. That’s also appropriate for a 16 year old, given than she was just discovering what she liked and what she wanted her career to look like, and what to study.

Alex said his room was forever the same, which means than he didn’t have this healthy discovery like June did. He didn’t experiment with stuff to eventually decide what’s he truly wanted. Alex has always had this “fire under his ass” (as June calls it) and it has been there for years. Ever since he was a kid, he had been winning lacrosse trophies and killing himself studying. He needed to be perfect, to be good. Otherwise, how could he go anywhere? How would people like him? He had always been a dedicated guy, but sometimes his dedication was unhealthy.

”Steadily more stuffed” As he grew up, he began to overwork himself more and more, to hide himself more and let the “perfect” version of him act like if it was the private him
