Can we please talk about how overtly autistic Michael is in the new season of heartstopper. And it’s shown as a positive thing and not made fun of at all. It made me so happy and I loved how he was just shown as a character who is there for Tori and not some weird guy no one likes. It meant a lot to me and made me happy stim every time he was on screen.

Nick was really simping for Charlie this update😭💗

So like, Tori Spring has autism and depression, and Michael Holden has autism, ADHD, and anger issues, right? Like, this is widely accepted in the fandom as a fact? Cuz I have no idea how else i’m supposed to interpret these characters.

Times in I Was Born For This where Rowan+Jimmy (and the occasional Bliss) really don’t know Lister at all. (an incomplete list)

“Wait, don’t tell me,” says Bliss, holding up a hand. “He’s already throwing up in the bathroom. Or he’s already found someone to have sex with.” (page 87)

*****

“You’re the one who does this stuff all the time.” [they were talking about Jimmy kissing Magnet during Lister’s party] (page 93)

*****

“Fuck off, thinking you can help us, thinking you have any fucking understanding of what it means to care about someone, you fucking sex addict!"(page 103)

*****

“How d’you get away with it?” I ask him.

“With what?”

“Getting with so many people.” (page 125)

*****

“We thought he was having sex with someone, or several someones, at every party we went to. And we’ve been to a lot of parties.” (page 127)

*****

"Neither of you get it. It's different for me." He turns to me with one last pleading look. "You and Rowan have each other, but you have to see that its different for me. Being Lister Bird."

I just shake my head. "What does that mean?"

The final bit of hope in his expression drops, and he walks away from the bed and towards the door.

"Why else would anyone want to be around me?" he says. "I'm Lister Bird. Why else would anyone want to be around me other than to get with me?" (page 130)

*****

“You know what he’s like. He’s reckless. He does what he wants.” (page 322)

*****

“Why are you always like this? You just don’t give a shit about literally anything, do you?” (short story at the end)

*****

special mention: “If I [Lister] tried to talk to Rowan about serious stuff, he’d probably just roll his eyes or laugh at me.” (short story at the end)

@aliceoseman

THANK YOU for being such an amazing and authentic author with your books. Just finished Solitaire and didn't realize how much teenage me needed that conclusion.

All because i got the hype for Hearstopper back in march 2022 and watched it. I own all the books and will continue my journey with learning and loving all the characters.

It's funny using the platform Tori uses. The books are just so real to some of my experiences. It's nothing like the books but right in the heart and feels. No other book series has made me cry. Happy, sad, relatable, and so on.

Takeaways:

I want the love that all these friendships have.

I have learned that romantic love isn't always necessary

Platonic love is important and valuable.

It is okay to be sad. But it is also okay to be happy, angry, and all the other emotions.

Having good people around you will make you want to live life.

Anyways, good night/ morning world. Love you to pieces and need sleep.. hopefully, better sleep than Tori Spring, lol

I think he likes him

I don’t want people to be worried about me. There’s nothing to worry about. I don’t want people to try and understand why I’m the way I am, because I should be the first person to understand that. And I don’t understand yet. I don’t want people to interfere. I don’t want people in my head, picking out this and that, permanently picking up the broken pieces of me.

Solitaire, Alice Oseman

All ready read Volume 5 and This Winter. They're shorter and one is a graphic novel/ comic style, so its not that much to read. Same with This winter, the smallest out of all the books.

Im just so happy to have something i can enjoy reading AND feel represented in some way in these books. Gonna read Solitaire, then Loveless. Then the other two i have. Their bigger books and i know i need to set a day ot two aside to read those.
