I reread the Hunger Books last year and kinda became obsessed with them. The first time that I read the books was in 9th grade and that was like 8 years ago. There was a lot of things and instances Id forgotten or was misremembering. One of the major moment that I'd forgotten was Finnick's fate. Finnick's death hit me hard and I wasnt really expecting it. I'd thought I woulda remembered it but oh god! It was traumatic and devastating

Young Royals is Heartstopper in a different font

I disagree.

Heartstopper and Young Royals is lumped together because both the shows have protagonists who are queer. However, both the shows are completed different is what I feel.

Heartstopper deals more with their sexuality where as the focus in YR is on romance more. Heartstopper explores the trans community, and asexuality. I feel that it concentrates more on informing people about the various genders that are being Explored these days.

Young Royals doesn't explore much of sexuality. It is more about Wilhelm and how he deals with everything - his sexuality, his responsibilities, his anxiety and stress and his friendships. Alot of people are of the opinion that Wilhelm couldn't admit that it aas him in the video because he was with a boy, but I don't think any royal would admit it was them regardless of the gender. The only other queers in the how is Nils, and Stella I guess.

Also, you have to remember that one is a British Show and the other is a Swedish one. British and American shows have always readily explored alot of prejudiced themes but other countries are still not okay with it. They are okay with LGB part, but apart from that, they have a hard time digesting it.

People have gotta stop lumping together series just because the main characters are queer. On first glance, you wouldn't think YR was a lqbtq+ show. It's just a show about two people show fall in love. Unfortunately, their relationship becomes of the business of everyone.

In the start, you'd think that Wilhelm is gonna be this party craze bad boy, who's broody and mysterious. But he wasn't, he turned out to be huge dork and I absolutely loved it. I was so tired of the tsundere character being brought out by the love interest.
