I Find The Auction Scene During The Sit In Very Interesting

I find the auction scene during the sit in very interesting

On the surface it’s a great bit of tension breaking comedy, but really it’s an excellent example the show’s class commentary.

Simon is disgusted by the whole thing, not because he doesn’t want the rules lifted but because it’s a bunch of privileged snobs role-playing oppression.

The auction proves this.

Instead of behaving like a true unified protest force and sharing the small amount of food and drink equally so that everyone has something. Or prioritising the people with more need - like diabetics for example, they instead set up an auction.

Because in their lives resources are not shared, resources are a product that goes to the person willing to spend the most money.

It’s also interesting that the auction signals the point at which the sit in stops being teens role playing oppression and starts being the Hillerska teens indulging in the peer pressure and underlying threat of sexual violence that has always been there

headcanon that wille lowkey 'enjoys' being ill more than simon:

Simon - he doesn't like it because he's used to taking care of others so not being able to take care of himself isnt fun and it frustrates the hell out of him but deep down, maybe the feeling of being taken care of is nice and relaxing.

Wilhelm - he likes being ill because when he was younger, it meant that his parents would dote on him more and he wouldnt have to beg for any attention. one of the few times that they show that they care.

this one feels a lil silly, had lot of trouble with colours and was sleep deprived for half of it. Might remake it someday.
