SHADOW AND BONE (2021-) - live Kaz reaction
Soft kiss, gentle nudge 💕💕
The wait and anticipation in these kisses. The way this is what they both want but still wait for the other to make the first move and make sure that it's okay to be kissed like this again.
The only frowning I want Simon to do in season 3 is when he makes that little frown when he's deep into kissing Wille.
Oh nothing. Just reminiscing about Wille going after Simon because he wanted to spend more time with a curly-haired, beautiful being. ❤️🥰
I’ve already written two posts about this scene, but thanks to one of your requests i’m glad to add some extra thought!
side note: i’m super happy to read many people still interested in analyzing scenes from season 1, it’s my beloved (yes, i loved season 2 too) and deserves to always be praised.
This is such a meaningful and sad scene, not only because their last kiss 'before the disaster' takes place, but there's like a promise made between them through their words, simon initiating the kiss and wille reciprocating with a hug.
a promise that shortly after will be broken.
Words don’t count as much as actions, but when they’re the one thing someone could hold on to for hoping in a better and happier future with the person you love - then they count.
It was fair for wille to talk if he truly believed his words - reminder he actually stuck to them at first and give it a try by confronting his mother during the car ride to the palace - but simon had every right to be upset and dissapointed at what his official statement ended up being instead.
Here they are both scared of the consequences, they search for strength and comfort in the other’s arms, at least until wille jumps up out of anxiety, simon can’t help but notice it and their fragile bubble bursts. it’s a come back to reality and the real world is their biggest enemy at this time, they have all the reasons for not wanting to face it, if not together, and to be afraid.
still they take this moment to focus on each other.
For someone - i am someone - who agrees that words of affirmation is simon’s love language and physical touch obviously wilhelm’s, this scene is a manifesto: the “you are brave” and “thank you for not leaving me alone”, their lips connecting in a silent promise, the forehead touch, the long tight hug. they simply need to show love and care and be the closest they can get, not knowing if or when this will be possible to do again, regardless of whatever good or bad thing is going to happen next.
