library scene • episode 1

their expressions softening and smiles growing bigger as soon as their eyes meet. oh the effect of each other’s presence!!!

wille's staring contest and the lip bite while approaching give off so much confidence. he leans in for the kiss like it's all he's been waiting for - everyone is watching and yet he sees and cares about anyone anything but simon.

simon dives into the kiss just as quickly. it starts out as shyyy but you can see the tension easing through his body language.

it’s a second first kiss for them in a way bc it's their first public one: the thrill, the excitement, the butterflies - it's all there. for this huge step to come from wille makes it even more special.

it’s a super tender kiss, with simon’s hand ending up on wille’s chest. background noises fading away to enhance the sound of their lips is so on point: none of that truly matters bc in this moment it's - them.

first they kiss and then greet with a proper hej *giggling*.

lip biting is serious business in this scene. simon's shows a lot of embarrassment tho - he comes out of their own bubble and suddenly becomes very aware of people's chatter.

shoutout to felice and maddie in the background not giving a damn about it ahsjsj.

wille pulling simon by the hand in such a hurry is funny and so him. he literally says 'ok folks you've seen enough, i want him just for myself now'.

ugh i love parallels in this show sooo much. they alone tell the whole story!

same spot but different point in their relationship: so distant in s2 - both physically/emotionally - and couldn't be seen or heard so they were hyper attentive; deeply connected on all levels in s3 instead, the focus is solely on each other, reaching for comfort by holding hands. the coloring tells the same plot too: cold and dull tones first but much warmer ones in s3.

simon side eyeing the hallway but turning to wille is enough to reassure him and ease the discomfort.

hands intertwined with the key chain in such a ‘fuck 'em, this is about us’ way is a genius move.

wille’s whole posture is extremely relaxed - one arm behind his back, the other hand holding simon’s, his legs crossed. it’s a breath of fresh air to finally see him acting this loose and unbothered around people. he's also the one who helps simon feeling much more comfortable here too.

not much to point out, i just needed to gif simon’s bambi eyes and wilhelm being mesmerized by his face.

hela terminen's line delivery is honestly *chef’s kiss*. they care to keep their voices low throughout the scene and then -

i have a thing for height difference so this shot is everything to me. it's peak head over heels boyfriends behavior!

wilhelm is stronger than me bc i would've kissed simon right on the spot if he tilted his head up like that.

shhh they’re cuddling.

the forehead touch with closed eyes and content smiles. this is basically what i've always loved the most about them - the state of pure bliss they're in only when with each other.

simon's eyes on him while wille is still keeping his eyes closed, slowly pulling away, to enjoy the moment a little longer.

simon's attention directed towards wille and the linked hands. it must feel the best kind of weird to experience the freedom of doing couple-things publicly - people's scrutiny no longer being something they have to hide from.

Such a stupid point to me. Wille also learnt to give Simon space. Also if Henry witnessed them kissing Wille would find some words for him to make him fuck off, but that conversation was more intimate, Wille was about to strip his soul and show the raw feelings, they were definitely not for Henry to see, and the stock of courage he had gathered to come to Simon and start this conversation had limits in his state. And the party happened that same evening. If it didn't I'm pretty sure Wille would collect his thoughts and send that message.

You remove the context here: the ask and my reply

I did not say he had to do it in front of Henry. He could (to me "should") have sent an SMS to Simon about what he wanted to say before Henry interrupted them. We know they exchange messages off-screen. In the library scene, he could have said nothing, but he was brave and said he was feeling scared & empty. It was a step forward but then it disappeared like that. It does not make sense to me.

library scene • episode 1

quick reminder: it's not me taking any side, but an analysis as objective as possible of little moments i like to dive more into.

not wilmon related, but i adore the exchange of looks between simon and malin as he enters the room. 

wilhelm trying to hide the smile that grows spontaneously when simon moves next to him. he missed him, he dreamed of them being physically close to each other and his 'he's so real so close' head-to-toe look is superior.

he doesn’t hesitate much in responding with a physical approach. it’s a quick and innocent move showing wille’s intention to feel simon’s presence at the fullest, but also to reassure him in the way that seemed best for him.

that’s why simon’s frustrated sigh to the touch leaves him speechless: it’s the most natural thing for him to do, but not for simon to be okay with.

his rejection is what makes wille face that things are different and simon is too. they’re no more what they used to be.

the biggest relief at simon’s “i've been thinking about you all christmas” turning into sadness as soon as he realizes the same space that killed him inside was not so tough for simon to deal with, but rather needed.

there are two glimpses of closeness they happen to get, when interrupted by people, during a conversation that's actually making them feel more distant than ever.

symbolism or not, i like to think they're subtly telling us 'it is complicated, but they'll find their way back to each other eventually' through them.

wilhelm's little step forward when he also expresses how he feels. it's so clear by now how this is gonna end, but it doesn't stop him from trying to make things work.

until simon's "don't you realize that you hurt me?" is said. it leaves no room for doubt: simon is distant because he's hurting too, he asks for space because he's finally listening to what he needs.

he's firm in his words but still looks at wille's expression with concerned eyes - he cares too much not to be.

wide shots to emphasize wilhelm's loneliness and the parallelism with 'season one wille' breaks my heart: he stands there watching the two people he loves the most walking away from him.

Crossing the Line?

🤔

Nah, you're gonna like this better than Crossing the Line. Written before then anyway, I forget original inspo to make the scene in the first place, but then, of course:

&, different? but this line's just been stuck in my head about it all...

bad buddy + my co-star roasting me pt 11
