in which Charlie realises you don’t have to forgive people who’ve hurt you.
read from the beginning / read on tapas / my art blog / my personal blog / art instagram / heartstopper merch / read the next update early on Patreon!
Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more…?
Nick and Charlie are characters from my debut novel, Solitaire. Heartstopper updates three times a month, on the 1st, 11th, and 21st.
I really appreciate reblogs and shares - please help me spread word about this comic! I’m so excited for people to read it!

the russian LGBT community is in deep shit right now.
a russian LGBT rights activist elena grigoryeva was recently found dead with 8 stab wounds near her home.
the police didn’t do anything about it, despite how many people called out for help.
there’s also a russian anti LGBT group called “pila” (“chainsaw”). a couple of months prior they published a hit list of LGBT activists from russia. elena was on the list. and so are other people who are related to the community in some ways.
they stated that they prepared some “cruel gifts” to the people on the list. the beauty blogger andrew petrov (whose name is also on it) recently made a post for his followers that shed more light on the situation.
another activist, andrew shituhin is a victim of this organization. the addresses of his family, along with other personal information got published on the website. earlier he got kicked out of his university. he immigrated to netherlands, although recently he came to a town near moskow to live for a bit. his friend, zhenia svetski, is aimed at by this organization. in a threatening email “pila” stated that he will be killed before august if andrew doesn’t help him to immigrate to netherlands.
all i’m asking for is to spread this post so that more people from other countries are aware of the situation.
also, i’m encouraging russian folks to add more information to this post in case if i missed anything. thank you.
update: holy shit, this post really blew up. thank you all so much for spreading it.
