(fredrika is the super big one and Lil Jim bob is the tiny one if you want other photos send an ask)

We're the banana slug council (of 2 members) and we have a Tumblr to answer your questions!

Literally ask us anything and we'll give you the most banana slug answer/advice

You can also ask a question to a particular slug and only one of us will answer!

We will also answer questions about ourselves!

Like that is the moment that Fredrika shows that for all her ditziness she understands how this works. She understands that just because the Prince is with a guy doesn’t mean that she is out of the running of accumulating power for herself through Wille.

She shows that she knows what millions of noble and upper class women have known throughout history - a woman’s power in an elitist patriarchal society is not in who her husband is it’s in who her son is.

It could have been so easy for them to have some of the girls bemoaning the fact that they don’t have the chance to snag the role of queen, but instead they have Fredrika playing 4d chess being like - I may not be Queen but there is still a chance that my son could be King one day.

I don’t know I just think it’s really telling of Fredrika and the story about class they are telling, that Fredrika in response to the tape can instantly readjust her expectations of what power she can get out of this.

Maybe she might even be thinking that she might even have a better chance of accumulating reflected power in these circumstances. Before the Wille/Simon thing came out it seemed like all the girls were expecting something to happen with Felice.

But if Wille is with Simon, then Fredrika doesn’t even need to convince Wille to like her, she just needs to put herself forward as the most suitable surrogate mother.
