     that being said, i will not play fully into his victim card. but let us get some things straight!!!  ( there will most likely be a drabble to follow… )       Robert was not wrong, nor lying when he said that LIAM caused this. At least the downfall of someone who could have been a very great and compassionate man, a man who wanted nothing more than to prove his father WRONG. ( Sound familiar? Insert: Season 1, Liam Henstridge. ) Unknowingly, Liam sparked his brother’s internal necessity to set the record straight. Sad to say, he made Robert snap when he discovered the one and only reason he had returned was sleeping with his baby brother.       So he did bad shit. Calculated ( um, have we forgotten who his mother is? ) Like a game of chess. The same game he was raised on all of his life. Let’s just take a look back at that for a moment, a young boy, raised to be a certain way, see things in a certain light, like a robot, this game, this small amount of quality time with his father, was all he ever knew. He was being groomed for greatness, for the very bloodline he was born into: the one duty, the one purpose he was created for: TO BE KING. – Only to have that ripped away at the last minute and have your father tell you he neither has faith in you but that you are just a bad seed? God, that is terrible!! – That does not make Robert a MONSTER for his actions, merely misunderstood. Everything he did was a strictly calculated maneuver, much like in the game of chess. Because he can no longer think from his heart, he thinks from his head, as he was raised to do. He lacks passion, where Liam has far too much.       When Robert returns, he finds out that Simon is now gone. He’s not only grieving the loss of his Father, but an entire loss of identity. Who is he if not meant to take the crown – and you can see in so many ways this season he warned Liam of that very notion. ‘Crowns are for taking! And I’m taking this one!!’ Those words hold no sterner truth now, knowing what his father’s probably final words were to him.       As Liam in Season 2, Robert has suffered a great deal of loss of identity. Who is he if not the very man he was destined to be? I believe Robert when he said he would step down if the queen consented that Liam could have the throne. He would. In a heartbeat, he would and you know why?? It is what Simon would have wanted, and he knew that, he respected that. At least – he had, until it fully sunk in how betrayed he felt at the aspect of Liam and Kathryn. You see, as brothers, naturally, Liam and Robert are so very different and yet so entirely similar. They are hard-headed and strong-willed. Neither is evil. As Willow might put it ‘two little boys fighting over a crown.’       I keep placing myself in both their shoes. Robert was very wrong to do some of the things he did, however he was looking through a shade of different colored glass than everyone else: one in which every move he’s had to make was of proper protocol. They shouldn’t be slumming with the help, they are regarded as ROYALTY and there are rules!  Jasper isn’t good enough for Eleanor and Spencer is not good enough for The QUEEN. Therefore, he put a stop to it. There is still a median, a reason why his brain ticks that way. And that look from Helena, that ‘dear God…I created this!’ gaze says it all. She knows she has no one to blame but herself.       This family was fucked from the beginning and that is something Len has pointed out. I mean look at his very video alone. Robert’s motive/excuse now? “I don’t have to explain myself, I am the God Damn King!”       Think about it…he just saw his father, told he is never good enough to be king, that Simon believes this so much so, that he is disbanding the monarchy, which also instigates the fact: he didn’t believe in ANY of his children. Yeah, that’s right. Not even LIAM. No one was good enough to take his place. So then, Robert is shipped off to the Royal Airforce and here is his golden opportunity to just end it all! If he is really the problem? He has an out. End his life, end his father’s concerns. ( And as established in S1 – this is not the case because Simon wishes to disband regardless of Robert’s presence or not. ) In Robert’s mind he’s thinking: Liam and Len see themselves as nothing but the spares, I will prove them wrong. I will give them their shining moment. – Then, he survives and it’s like…the fuck do I do now? So, he remains on the island. Until he cannot any longer, knowing he ought to return to Len, to Kat. Therefore – seeing Liam with Kat? Shot to the heart!! Now, he is going to settle this and prove Simon WRONG. He will make a great king. It’s HIS crown for the taking, his birthright.  If people would look at it objectively like that? They wouldn’t call him a monster, they’d consider the facts that he’s a very broken man in a very screwed up family!       BOOM. *Drops the mic!* Betty out!

     TLDR; Lest not forget. At the end of the day, Simon would’ve disband the monarchy with, or without Robert present. 

   So. Before I get to responses / drafts / new starters I believe there are few things you need to understand:     1. I DO NOT follow the TV show canon. There are MANY many aspects of it I respectfully disagree with. Such as the portrayal of Liam & Eleanor this last season in particular. Robert has an insurmountable amount of LOVE for his siblings, as do they for him. I understand the opportunity the writers were attempting to take as far as the whole ‘Hamlet’ aesthetic & the book the show was based after, but let’s face it. After season 2 they kind of gave up on that whole storyline & just ran with shock factor & fandom pleasure & – I’m not about that life. The writing is sloppy. There are SEVERAL plot holes & please do not get me started on the one ship I absolutely ABHOR. ( j/as/penor can just NOT. ) If you have questions, please feel free to message me. We can always discuss your preferences and choices and I’m always up for opinion but there are just facts that cannot be denied that steer the way I portray Robert & Wilhelmina.     2. I respectfully do not ship ugh – do I have to write it?? I will try no to gag, ( lo siento ) Jasper & Eleanor.  So. If I am writing with an Eleanor PLEASE note. Robert & I absolutely abhor Jasper as a person, as a character, and we will not like him. If you do ship them, then please be prepared for Robert’s negative response.  This is something we can discuss, again. I’m all for plotting and figuring things out. Viewpoints are so very different but please know, that I cannot in good conscience take this ship seriously. And as far as toxicity goes,it makes my stomach churn.       3. I understand that neither Willow nor Robert are perfect. Ok? They do have their flaws. Very much so. ESPECIALLY ROBERT. But I only ask for possible justification, or an opportunity for Robert’s ability to explain his stance.  As I said, he is not without redemption!!  And this last’s season LAZY af plot line could’ve been EASILY redeemed / fixed if they just gave the siblings a chance to sit down and DISCUSS what was happening.     4. Please understand that my characters choices, phrases, movements or responses etc etc. etc. sometimes do not reflect my own viewpoints, general choices etc etc etc. THIS IS ROLEPLAY and in that I tend to really dive deep into the minds of my character.  When I am Robert I AM Robert. When I am Wilhelmina I AM Willow. I sink into their minds that sometimes I cry when they cry and frown when they frown. When they’re in my head they’re quite present as…almost a real person in a sense. An extension of my imaginative psyche. However it is important to remember that:  Real life does not equate RP and RP does not equate to RL.       5. I believe that’s it. That’s all I can remember that I wanted to say, I may add to this list later and I may take away from it. But let’s just remember to not take too many things too seriously and have fun. I feel like when it comes to Robert and Willow there can be this level of…distaste?? Let’s leave the salt elsewhere. Thank you.       PS: I am a VERY easy person to talk to. So if you disagree with something? Please come at me OFF anon, and we may discuss things properly and as true adults. Thank you kindly my dears.     xoxo. Isa.
