i think it’s wrong, i think it’s bad i think it’s lame, i think it’s horrible
the song begins with this hook repeated twice. at this moment, all we as the audience have seen of wilhelm is his face marked with cuts, bruises, and anger. these lyrics come in as he turns to see the person yelling on the stairs, and the repetition of the negative words wrong, bad, lame, and horrible have a foreboding quality. the aftermath is known, but the means of destruction are not. something terrible is clearly about to happen.
ain’t got no care ‘bout the price i'ma live my life like tomorrow is gone bitch, i’m a one, bitch, i’ve got nothing to lose i got everything to won you know what i won? fuck the glitz, ain’t no pun how 'bout the history, bitches it’s a new day, a new dawn, it’s a new day, a new dawn
the song as it appears in the show features the second verse above, which highlights a recklessness seen in wilhelm. he doesn’t spare a thought for how the fight will play from a public relations perspective, how his actions reflect on his family, or even how they reflect on himself physically. no consideration for the cost, no consideration for the day after.
of course, the following lines about having nothing to lose ring ironic. wilhelm, a royal, has everything to lose. immediately after these lines about disregarding tomorrow, wilhelm is confronted with the consequences tomorrow brings. he is pressured to face the swedish public, make a statement, and enroll at a boarding school as a means to rectify the sins of his impulses. it is a new day, but one of reckoning.
i think it’s wrong, i think it’s bad i think it’s lame, i think it’s horrible
the hook returns once more as he stares out the car window.
this song is diegetic, in fact doubly so. by the hook booming over wilhelm remembering the fight, it suggests that it was playing at the party that night over the speakers. then it cuts back to him riding in the car, still thinking about it. as he repeats the fight in his mind, he is listening to the same song as he was then, almost trapped by it as the repetitive negative words of the lyrics reinforce his mistake. the sound of his anger and resentment at his circumstance drown out other sounds and distill to just that music, just that negative repetition. this is then why he cannot clearly make out the words of the pr representative trying to get his attention and hand him the speech where he asks for forgiveness. when she does get his attention, he takes out one of his earbuds to reveal the entire nature of the song’s diegesis. not only is wilhelm listening to it as a remembrance from the party, but he is literally listening to it.
ain’t got no care 'bout the price i'ma live my life no matter the sins i’m a soldier with no discipline a yin yang with no in between a serial killer with no fingerprints a leaking pen with no bloody ink i’m on the brink of war, on my own corrector i seek the stars above the underground
not featured in the show is this first verse. i can understand why they would have favored the second rather than this one, but if it was included it could have offered some additional emphasis to wilhelm’s mental state. it becomes immediately apparent that he is repressed by his position as prince and acting out as an explosion under the pressure. erik then effectively becomes his foil when he appears after the song plays, because he shows discipline and restraint where wilhelm does not. erik seems to accept his position in the monarchy, likely owing to him being older and the crown prince, but wilhelm has not found a way to balance his sense of duty and his sense of self. he doesn’t know a way to express himself outside all or nothing.
on top of this, the story begins at a turning point in wilhelm’s life. he has only just begun high school, often a difficult adjustment for anyone even when not a royal. a feeling of being on edge that can accompany a transition period like that. so to feel trapped by duty all while desiring a normal life, to not know how to release that tension without violently exploding, there’s no way out except perhaps to see the bright spots in the sky above before descending into the depths below.
and so, though we may not be fully aware of it as an audience, we are being pulled into the underground and the world of young royals with a mission to escape and a hope that wilhelm escapes it too.
I feel like people don’t truly appreciate the national treasure than RW&RB is

After reading Paula Munier’s book Plot Perfect, I discovered Story Questions. Everything suddenly clicked.
Write a story that plants questions into the readers mind— questions that are important enough to keep the audience interested until you choose to answer them. Answer the questions that need to be answered in order for the story to make sense, but postpone the ones that can wait for added suspense and tension! Your readers will never want to put the book down if you do this successfully.
What is a story question? There are three types:
The main question that the reader is asking that will be answered at the end of the story. It drives the plot. In a romance novel, it might be: will she find her soul mate? Or in a war novel, it might be: will they complete their mission and at what cost?
Examples: Will Dorothy find her way back home and how? Will Romeo and Juliet end up together? Will Frodo destroy the ring and at what costs? Does Elena Gilbert end up with Stefan or Damon Salvatore?
Leading questions aren’t answered until the end, so you need to weave big/small story questions throughout the narrative to keep the audience hooked.
The questions and answers that arise during the big scenes of your book. Every subplot should have a big story question that readers wonder about.
Examples: In Harry Potter, we are curious about the subplot of Snape and if he is evil or good and what is backstory is. His contrasting actions and mystery keeps us intrigued and we want to find out the answers.
Princess Leia is captured and plants an S.O.S message inside of the droid R2D2, we wonder: will the droid find someone to help rescue her and who will it be? Later on, we wonder if Luke will join Obi-Wan on his mission or return to his mundane life. Even further into the story we wonder if Obi-Wan will die or live fighting Vader in an effort to help Luke and his friends. And if he dies… how will it affect Luke?
In Hermione and Ron’s friendship/romantic subplot, we are always silently wondering if they will remain friends or become more.
Smaller, less intense questions that you weave throughout the smaller scenes of your story. Every page of your book should have little story questions, or even every other paragraph if you plan it accordingly. Leave a question in one paragraph and answer it in the next.
Example: [The first paragraph of The Hunger Games]
When I wake up, the other side of the bed is cold. My fingers stretch out, seeking Prim’s warmth but finding only the rough canvas cover of the mattress. She must have had bad dreams and climbed in with our mother. Of course, she did. This is the day of the reaping.
We are already asking little story questions. Who is Prim? What is the reaping? Why is her bed rough, is she underprivileged? As we continue to read, these little story questions are gradually answered giving readers a steady flow of wonder and answer, wonder and answer.
It’s a delicate balance, however. If you forget to answer a story question, or wait too long, it could frustrate your readers. During your scenes, you must anticipate what your readers are wondering/asking and then find the right time to answer/resolve these questions for the best amount of suspense!

In my previous post we predicted you future spouse based on your Darakaraka planet aka “DK” planet. Your DK planet is the lowest degree planet in your Vedic Sidereal birth chart.
We talked about their characteristics in that post but lets see what their physical traits might be 👀
*Quick disclaimer: this is what your spouse could look like based on your Darakaraka planet in a general sense, of course the entire chart has to be considered in order to make a definitive judgment*
If your DK planet is the….

Their hair can be thin with a golden/brown color. Their complexion (undertones) can be warm/reddish/golden. They can have a strong, healthy body and be on the taller side. (6ft+)

Their complexion can be fair, pale, or luminescent, with cool/neutral undertones. Your person can have hair that is thick, dark or even curly or wavy. Moon can give a soft/feminine look to the appearance (even for a male spouse). More often than not, this gives a spouse who is attractive/beautiful.
MERCURY
With Mercury Darakaraka, your spouse can have a petite, dainty, or slender frame. They can be tall or short, but usually manifests as medium height. They can look quite youthful and look younger than their actual age. They might look androgynous or have a style that is both feminine and masculine.

JUPITER With Jupiter Darakaraka, your spouse can have a large, well-proportioned frame. Height and size is emphasized here, where your person is taller or larger than average. Their body type can be fleshy, or their mid-section/chest can have extra padding. Their butt/thighs can be pronounced also. Your person’s complexion can have a fair/warm/orange/reddish undertone. Jupiter can “soften” their appearance as well, where it’s not so angular.

I think the reason why advice around "good writing" and "bad writing" doesn't really resonate for me is the fact that writing is contextual.
Any item on a list of "writing mistakes" can be used as an effective tool given the right context. Just like following every "good writing rule" at the same time can make the end result seem forced or overworked.
Yes, you need to know the basics of grammar and punctuation etc. But once you know the rules, breaking them can create a really powerful voice.
Break the rules. Experiment. Find the "wrong" ways that work for you. That's one way you can start to find your own personal writing style.
