Good morning!

Can you believe that Young Royals has been in our lives for five years already? Summer 2021 feels like yesterday and so distant at the same time. So much has happened since then. I feel nostalgic about those first days but immensely grateful for everything YR brought to me, and glad to be still here.

Happy 5th anniversary to you all!!

today's world cup adjacent young royals thought is: what position does rosh play in?

obviously we can rule out goalkeeper, but other than that i can't really say for sure. (and i'm going at this entirely based on s1e2 because i don't remember her ever bringing it up.)

looking at this one it seems like bjärstad might be attacking towards the right given how many players with blue jerseys there's on the right. then again, pretty much all football we actually see happens on the midfield around the halfway line so i can't be 100% sure - and many of the passes we can see make very little sense in terms of making the game progress in either direction and in helping determine which team attacks which way.

if we go with the assumption that bjärstad is going for the goal on the right, then it seems like that would make rosh a defender. she's the second from left here.

here we see rosh as one of the two players on the far left. her positioning would make her a central defender, but given how we see her closer to the touch line a couple of times would also suggest a wingback.

there's a couple of instances where there's players playing lower than her - here when she does her dance there's two players on the left which would indicate that those players are the central defence - which would support the wingback theory.

i know roles aren't fixed, players move all over the pitch and are thrown into different playing positions depending on the opponent. bjärstad looks like they're playing with a 3-4-3 formation here (as does their opponent, actually).

if bjärstad were attacking towards the left, it would suggest rosh is a striker or a winger. however, i don't feel like anything she does on the pitch really backs that. i could be entirely wrong though because again, this match is very hard to figure out given it doesn't move much past the halfway line.

numbers on the jerseys aren't much help because they're not as fixed as they once were, but i feel like if she were a striker, she'd be wearing #9 (or #10), not #24. not that that number makes much sense for a defender either, honestly.

i know it's not that serious, but i kind of feel like her role on the pitch would affect how she watches football in general. would love to hear what others think about her position or if there's some obvious moment that gives it away and i completely missed it.

Getting stuck in a football analysis that involved Bjärstad BK and not the slightly bigger tournament going on right now wasn’t on my bingo card this morning. It was also a bit of a challenge to get the full picture of the game since the technical director keeps filming the audience all the time (almost as if they were more important?!? 🤪). But, when I saw the question and went back to the scene (without looking at the theory in the original post beforehand) I’d also say full-back / right-back for Rosh. Like OP also mentioned, I think Bjärstad is scoring at the goal to the right from the audience’s view.

FYI: I’ve never played football myself, only watched it, so any feedback from real life football players is more than welcome.

What threw me off in this shot was the absence of the center-back if they’re playing 4-4-2 (4 defenders, 4 midfielders, 2 forwards, the most common system in Sweden). But we see her together with (at least) two other defenders being a bit more idle when Bjärstad is attacking here:

If we assume that Bjärstad scores to the right, number 21 is the center forward in the blue team (we see Rosh battling with her here):

And we also see Rosh collaborating with the midfielders in trying to remove the ball from her here:

At first I didn't realize that there were more defenders between them and the goal here. But in a way it would be so in character for Rosh to dance and just let the opponent land herself in offside position 😂

In this last shot, we see the Bjärstad defenders trying break an attack from the forward in the opposing team (number 21) but she ends up doing a back-heel kick that her team mates probably are to far away to catch.

This was so much fun! Thank you, @malinowaj 🌟🌟 – I love when minor characters get time to shine.

i think a reason Wilhelm is so shocked that he can't just fix his break up with Simon at the end of S1- S2 is because previously when he's broken it off between them, Simon has been pretty eager to get back together.

Previously in their cycle of "kiss, wilhelm freaks out, wilhelm says forget about it, wilhelm can't forget about it, wilhelm takes it back, they both are happy" Simon finds it easier to forgive him because, while maybe not healthy, the excitement out weighed the betrayal (if that makes sense?)

Simon has a crush on a prince, the prince likes him back but is clearly dealing with some internalized stuff, every time they kiss it comes with the thrill of "this isn't something we should be doing but I want it so bad" so the "let's forget about that ill advised thing we did" while hurtful, doesn't cut AS deep. And so when Wilhelm eventually comes back Simon is more excited by the thrill of "I matter enough to him that he came back" over shadows the hurt, (EVEN THOUGH HE DOESNT REALLY GET A GOOD APOLOGY BACK!! WHICH GOES BACK TO MY OTHER POST ABOUT WILHELM VS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY!!).

Additionally, these splits weren't something that Simon wanted. Which is also important to note.

Then you have the split over the video. This isn't just a crush anymore for them, they aren't just friends who kiss, they've admitted they like each other, they're as close to dating as they can be in secret, wilhelm later said he loved him for gods sake. And what wilhelm did wasn't JUST get scared. He broke a promise. He left Simon hanging to be the sole target of something they should have stood together for.

So Simon sets a boundary. He doesn't want to be a secret anymore, he knows he cant make wilhelm come out, but he doesn't have to be with him. So he breaks up with wilhelm.

ans when Wilhelm comes back like "haha that was crazy. Welp time to get back together now." Simon, rightfully, is like "no? I like you a lot but the reason I broke up with you still very much exists, nothing has changed, I need you to respect the boundary I've set and my request for space"

Wilhelm is a prince, he's childish, he's used to getting everything he wants.

Simon is more soft spoken, but he's finally setting his foot down.

That's why this break up is so hard on Wilhelm, why he lashes out, but he needs to make real changes to his behavior to undo what's happened.

Hello I did some colour studies. Trying to revive my joy for drawing after a minor burnout.

[chiimeramanticore]

do me a favor and reblog this and put in the tags what time it is for you and what you're currently doing/thinking about

[almostlake]

Hi there! :) Hope you're doing well! For the flower ask game, gerbera and iris, please? Thank you!

Thank you💜 iris - favourite 90s song? Do I have to pick? That shit helped shape me... In so many ways. Every Wednesday at I watched Voxpop on the TV, then at the weekend Tracks and Digilistan were holy. But what is my favourite?? I've been listening through a few (ehh.. more than) and there is too much nostalgia to choose so I'll give a... selection: MMMBop (Hanson), Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley), Barbie Girl (Aqua), Lemon tree (Fools Garden), Angel (Robbie Williams), All the Small Things (Blink 182), Creep (Radiohead), Basket case (Green day), Nothing Else Matters (Metallica), Just a Girl (No Doubt), ...One More Time (Brittney Spears), When Mermaids Cry (Eagle Eye Cherry).

gerbera - neon or pastel? I wish that I was cool enough to say neon, and even if I do look smoking in a neon 80s outfit (might have rad photos from a masquerade) there is just so much more pastel in me.

the bad thing about having unhealthy habits due to mental illness, is when you DO do something healthy style you can't brag about about it because then people will then know you've been doing it yucky style all along. Like you can't brag you changed your sheets or brushed your teeth because then ppl will be like oh did you not brush your teeth regularly before? Thats yucky disgusting! So you just gotta keep it to yourself. And be proud alone, I suppose.

[mayaminamoto]

And that's why we have the hellsite (affectionate)

I am proud of you. Changing sheets is annoying and hard. I struggle with brushing. Showering requires SO MUCH ENERGY, my god. Bonus kudos if you ate a vegetable today, get those vitamines.

I may be just a random voice on the internet. But from the bottom of my heart, if you accomplished something today despite poor mental health, no matter how "small" - I am proud of you. You are allowed to brag in my inbox. Go you.

something something about wilmon journey

The scene when Wille orders food to his room always made me feel a little uneasy. The way they laugh about it with Felice. And Wille feels so relaxed around her in that way, he knows she wouldn’t judge him for that.

Did you just call the royal court for that?

*yep I did cool right?*

I don’t think he would’ve done that with Simon. I even felt kinda jealous on Simon’s behalf watching this scene and that was my first watch before l knew what would happen between them later on.

We know that before wilmon fell in love Simon was very prejudiced towards Wille. Wille knows that too. And it didn’t go away momentarily. The way he spits the word “prince” in Wille’s face when Wille acts exactly how Simon thought he would before he got to know him tells us he still wasn’t sure then. And this uncertainty stayed with him.

Simon obviously never liked the fact that Wille is a prince, he fell in love with him in spite of that, but he never really accepted him for it. And Wille calls him out on that in s2.

I love that with Simon Wille can be just Wille and not the crown prince. But I wish that he could be the crown prince around him too. I don’t want him to be afraid of being shamed for that, because it’s not his fault he has to be a prince.

I think that after the ending of s2 that dynamic between them could and will change. They both were equally afraid of the “crown prince”. But once Wille comes face to face with this part of him and tries to take control of it instead of being blindly controlled by it, then they both can finally accept it (or reject it, whichever one you prefer, the point is them being on the same page about it and choosing their path consciously and freely).

Because in truth Simon can be okay with Wille being a prince. He just wants him not to live up to the image of a prince that he despises. He needs to be sure. He needs Wille to stand up for what he believes in, because it’s so natural to Simon. Wille let him down in that way in s1, but he finally proves that he’s “not like them” in s2.

They’ve truly come a long way from where they started. The first time Wille hears Simon speak is Simon fearlessly calling out the royal family leaving Wille speechless in class. The last time Simon hears Wille speak is Wille doing the same at the jubilee. Their first conversation is Simon asking Wille to speak up.

Why didn’t you say so in class?

And then Wille does speak up, and not just in class, but for the whole country to hear.

If you really want to prove that you've changed, don't convince the people who you hurt.

Convince the people who agreed with you. Betray them. Make them see you as a traitor.
