I know I’m not saying anything here that other people haven’t already said, but if we get a season three, what I want, more than anything, is for Wilhelm and Simon to be together, as a couple, for the duration of it. All of it. Every episode. No breaks.
Let all the drama be external, things that they can face together, even if it’s difficult. They can bicker and argue—that happens! But I don’t want to see those arguments making them break it off for an episode or two. I want to see Wilhelm putting those communication skills he’s been learning in therapy to work. I want to see Simon internalizing Wilhelm’s steadily improving communication skills, and working on his own. Let them argue, sure, but I want to see them be able to bring themselves back before it escalates the way it has in the past and be able to communicate effectively with each other.
They’re a team now. Wilhelm’s made it clear he’s not going to do what he did before, and leave Simon high and dry. (Not to vilify Wille, of course—it was an incredibly fucked up, complicated situation and he’s a grieving teenager in an unimaginably difficult spot doing his best. I will not stand for Wille slander.) I don’t expect Simon to love or immediately adjust to the new attention he’s going to get as the prince’s boyfriend, and I don’t even expect him to not instinctively direct some of his frustration with that toward Wilhelm, but I do expect him to catch himself in that, and for them to work through it together.
IIRC, there is a Lisa quote out there where she talks about not wanting to manufacture needless drama for the express purpose of keeping them apart (though I can’t find it, so don’t quote me on that), and with how great her writing has been thus far, I have faith that we’re not going to see them going through some convoluted breakup plot just to get back together again at the end…but I’ve also watched enough other media to be paranoid, lol.
