#but like make the show about tao and elle haha...

[vexedtonightmares]

watching heartstopper s3 why are tao & elle always eating everyone up like omg 3 seasons running they have everyone else gagged..

[sophie-savvy]

I am interested in hearing your take on heartstopper’s aroace rep!

Aw thanks for the ask! <3

I wanna clarify before I say anything too negative that I really don’t hate heartstopper as a show, I like how it deals with mental health conversations and gives a wide range of representation, and I’m not trying to judge anyone that does find joy in it or see themselves in Isaac’s character.

But for me, the rep in season two and three felt a bit immature? Not exactly the right word, but I still can’t find the one I’m looking for. I just finished season three today, and couldn’t help but notice that in so many of the scenes involving Isaac’s aromanticism and asexuality, he seemed to use it as almost an accusation against his friends. Specifically with the scene when they’re at the aquarium and someone goes “what if the fish were gay haha” and he says something like “well what if the fish didn’t like anyone and didn’t want to hear about their friends’ magical romantic relationships anymore?”. To me this just feels really rude and self-centered, even understanding the point he’s trying to make (Elle and Tao being too dependent on each other).

The way this scene is written (and the way everyone apologizes to him immediately afterwards), he doesn’t come across as a concerned friend or someone trying to communicate his feelings, it just feels like he’s taking his loneliness and insecurities out on his friends rather than having a conversation about how he’s feeling. I think this definitely could’ve happened at the movie night, but instead Isaac just left without saying anything.

These insecurities are valid, especially when you’re young and trying to figure yourself out. I’ve been in the same position as Isaac and felt the same kind of things! And I think younger me would be really validated by Isaac’s character. But if you’re not able to move past that and communicate with your friends about how you’re feeling and how they’re making you feel, then you can’t blame that on them. People in romantic relationships will sometimes spend more time with their partners than their friends, and this isn’t inherently bad. It’s only unhealthy when it gets to the point of dependency, which is when you step in (respectfully! privately!) and have a conversation with them.

A lot of people are talking about how they felt validated by his friends apologizing to him after this scene, but I just can’t see why they were supposed to apologize for something that 1) isn’t their fault and 2) Isaac never communicated.

Sorry if this sounds really aggressive or anything, genuinely don’t mean to be! Totally understand everyone has a different perspective, but there’s my 2 cents as an aroace person :)

Ayesha Livbelogs Heartstopper S3

I was so thrown off by the first shot of the season being Tori, LOL, I'm used to the school corridor openings

I've missed Nick and Charlie's little 'hi's, they are always so sweet

"I'm gonna cook us a candlelit dinner." "With what cooking skills?" "With the power of romance!" HAHA, I wish that would help me cook too, Tao

"Living with you is like a dream." That's a very optimistic approach to getting kicked out of your house, Darcy

Charlie said: Beach days are not immune to my Dark Imaginings

"Do you have some on?" "No, I don't really burn, I just tan." Charlie said, wearing a full cardigan to the beach. However, everyone gets UV damage, put on some sunscreen

Nick menacingly apply sunscreen to Charlie is my love language, actually:

"We've only been dating for like three weeks but [whistles] it's been a whirlwind." HAHAH I love Tao telling anyone who will listen he's dating Elle

"Girls stick together." "I don't care, I hate gender." Love that for Darcy

Awwww, Isaac coming out to Charlie. I love that so much

I enjoy that every time Charlie goes to his Dark Imaginings Place, Nick is like, "Hey, have you tried curing your mental illness with a leetle kiss on the lips"

"When someone you love's in trouble, you'll do anything to help 'em." Tara and Nick are truly on parallel romantic journeys. It's tough being a support person for someone enduring trauma

OH NOOOO Charlie thinks talking about something is code for "Time to exchange 'I love you's" and Nick think it's code for "Time to talk about your eating disorder!"

Perhaps at the beach, with friends, right before leaving for three weeks was not the best choice of venue for this conversation, Nick

I hope Darcy's gran's nice, because Darcy's mum sucks

Tao's cooking struggle aside, I love how colour-coordinated this shot is, the walls and the lamp, Tao's apron, Yan's shirt, the accents of Elle's dress, they're really leaning into the pink and teal:

"We can have a romantic candlelit Dominos." It'd work on me, Elle

Charlie, sitting in Nick's bedroom where there are literally like 10 photos of him on the wall: I wonder if he loves me back

Charlie telling Nick he loves him through the bathroom door. That's one way to overcome your nerves!

Poor Nick, running through the street shirtless and shoeless. That's love!

"You're still damp." "You're the one who said I love you for the first time when I was in the shower." Charlie's never gone live this down. The grandkids will hear about this

"I saw you peeping at me on the beach." "I was not peeping." It's okay, it's... it's allowed! We're in love!" "So in love that you're gonna walk to my house with no shoes on?" I repeat, that's love

Nick's aunt is HAYLEY ATWELL? Both funny bc they keep watching Marvel movies, and because they love to use a really amazing actress for a short cameo. Olivia Coleman for mum, Hayley Atwell for aunt, Nick's family is incredible

Oh, I appreciate that we've brought back the happy fantasy sequence as well:

"Can you please not undermine me like that in front of him?" The vibes of Charlie's mum have never sat well with me

Can I make a confession? Mr. Ayaji and Mr. Farouk (Nathan and Youssef) are my favourite romantic plotline on this show

Oh, I see a sex warning on the season! Who's fucking on screen!

"You did so well." "Exams mean nothing." Tori proving it's a Spring family trait to be incapable of receiving compliments

If Charlie's eating has extended the point where he can't even be in a Nando's, I think he needs help

"You need a nice poster of a handsome boy up there." "I'm a lesbian, gran." "Your dad never told me that. You need a pretty girl up there, then." This seems like a good sign for Gran <3

"I'm worried. I love you." Oh Tori, I think you should be worried

"I never sat still and posed for them. I wish... I wish I'd sat still. I wish I'd sat still, and I wish I'd posed." There's something about Tao's line that makes me want to cry. It describes grief really well

Thank God for Isaac, Charlie needs his support right now

Gjjgjgjhh at Tori being a tumblr girlie. Relatable!

The "Do I Have An Eating Disorder Quiz" is not as fun as the "Am I Gay Quiz" but I admittedly I've also taken both

It's really good for Charlie to admit he has a problem, to vocalize it to Nick, but I understand it's hard when the people you live with make it hard to trust them. Heartstopper always cuts too close to the bone

"He needs help from a doctor or a therapist. Someone that understands eating disorders and knows how to treat them." I am so, so glad that Nick has Aunt Diane, Hot Hayley Atwell Aunt and Qualified Psychiatrist

I don't know if I've ever cried while watching Heartstopper before, but this episode did get me

"The sixth form boys get to wear trousers, so why can't I?" "You look so... you." I'm becoming more and more certain Darcy is going on a gender arc. We love a nonbinary lesbian

"So we're dating?" "We've been seeing each other all summer, so I hope we are." I love Nathan and Youssef 💘💘💘💘 And also Coach Singh, who completes the gay teachers alliance

I am SHOCKED no one's ever caught Charlie and Nick making out in this supply closet, it's like the third time! Also, unrealistic, blocked, it's too spacious for a school storage place

"This isn't Mr. Ajayi's hippy class, you're representing Farouk right now." Neg your boyfriend to convince students it's platonic

OH MY GOD. NICK'S POSTCARD OF CONCERN IS THE SWEETEST AND SADDESST THING I'VE EVER SEEN

Does Charlie gripping his shoulder have implications that it's the site of his self-harm?

"I'm so alone." "Okay, what are we? Your imaginary friends?" I've missed Charlie's cheeky remarks

Fascinated by Tao's instagram bio being, "Was shorter in a past life." What on earth does that mean??

CACKLING at Charlie walking in on the teacher romance. HA

"I have a lot of rules... It doesn't matter, it's stupid." "Uh, what happens if you break the rules?" Mr. Ajayi is such a good teacher

I know it's important to address, but I do feel like the eating disorder is like, the main plot of the season so far, which does make the show harder to watch

"Yeah, I read a book where there was an aromantic character, and then I thought about what happened with us in Paris and stuff." I do find it funny that they feel the need to justify why (or why or not) people know the term aromantic. Why can't people just know!

[Looking at Sahar and Imogen] "Seems a bit gay to me." Me too, Darcy

"You've just not been a very good friend lately, Tao. All you care about is your relationship." "Well, if you're so sad about being single, what happened to James?" There's a lot to unpack here. Firstly, I don't think it's necessarily fair of Isaac to criticize how people engage with their friends, when he also brings a book to like 95% of his interactions. I get it might be a comfort thing, but I would personally feel like that friend wasn't engaged with me if during every one of our hang-outs they were reading. So like, complaining that Tao cares too much about his girlfriend when he's still there, spending time with you, seems harsh. HOWEVER, dick move from Tao, who already told you he didn't like James back

"I guess I just like the idea of having a cool boyfriend, but when we were actually together, he was pretty boring." Maybe it's too early to call comphet, but have you heard of the lesbian masterdoc, Imogen?

"None of you are helping, but thanks." HAHAH rude, Isaac

"You got angry at Charlie for doing the exact same thing we've doing." Elle's got you there, Tao

"You all make it seem like being in a relationship is the most perfect, magical thing that anyone could hope for." Charlie and Nick, homophobically bullied to the point of self-harm and in consistent mental agony over someone they love having an eating disorder: What up

"What about the ones who don't fall in love with any gender? Do you think they're okay just being on their own?" "I don't think they're on their own. they've got loads of friends." Nick Nelson, man of my heart

"When I first realized I liked Charlie, I cried at an 'Am I Gay?' Quiz." We've all been there, Nick

Nick really said: For my birthday, I'd like to confront your parents about your eating disorder

And Charlie said: Fair play, it's your birthday!

Very, very proud of Charlie (and Nick) for asking for help

So grateful for the next episode cutting to Nick's dog, I am emotionally exhausted by everything so far

"I can't believe it's been two months." I thought for a second I'd missed something but I guess they're just referring to inpatient rehab

"Everyone can journal, Nicholas. It helps you process your emotions. If I didn't journal every day, I'd literally have a breakdown. "Alright, you don't have to give me the whole pitch again." Tara and Nick's friendship is the saving grace of this season

NOT THEM SPEEDRUNNING THE ESCALATION OF EATING DISORDER SYMPTOMS THROUGH A MONTAGE. Crazy storytelling choice, but, honestly, helpful as a viewer

This montage has convinced me that Nick really, really needs to be seeing a therapist also

You know, all this said, this probably has really endeared Nick to Charlie's parents. Getting him to come to them for help

Nick is the CUTEST Captain America, perfect Halloween costume choice

Nick's reaction to Sahar and Imogen kissing is SO FUNNY. This is the opposite of how it was when he saw Tara and Darcy kiss. Instead of Bisexual Comfort, it's Gay Horror

(I did also get a cuter screenshot of the kiss the second time I tried, but it didn't fit the vibes of Nick's expression HAHAH)

Nick every time he sees a sapphic party kiss: I think I have learned something

I love that Tara and Darcy have fulfilled the Shrek and Fiona costume threat they made last season

Tao comforting Nick while he cries at the party. Sometimes love is hugging your crying, tipsy friends on the floor

"Can't I play the mentall illness card now?" "No, the S-word rule still applies to the mentally ill." I love that they can banter about the OCD and anorexia diagnosis

"I hope that when you get back, you don't feel like you have to lie to us anymore." If there's an autism quiz, I think Isaac should take it

I do absolutely adore the home video Tao made for Charlie

Olivia Colman must've been quite busy, because I do think Nick's mum would be a cornerstone of support for him in this

"I hope I get good mental health." "I hope I get a mum who can regulate her emotions." A tall order, my friends

"Can you just shut the fuck up?" GOOD FOR NICK, GET REKT DAVID

Charlie apologizing for abandoning Tori but still leaving anyway is both perserving his peace and such a brother move. <3 Oh, family!

Also, love that they were like, 'we realize it's been a tough season, here's a second, smaller dog'

"I never imagined finding a boyfriend and... and feeling so safe with him that I'd even think about, like, taking my clothes off in front of him." I did figure they were gonna talk about dysphoria and sex with Elle

I'm glad they're finally having a bigger party where no one's crying or experiencing an identity crisis or being kicked out by their mum

"I don't want to be just an experiment to you. Especially when you know you're the reason I realized I was bi in the first place." Oh, the Sahar and Imogen lore deepens

Looks like Charlie immediately spoke Tori finding someone she cares about into existence

Hahahahah the fireworks are a metaphor for whatever Elle and Tao are up to in the bedroom

I also didn't notice until rewatching it, but I do think their headmaster announcer is Stephen Fry. They love a starpowered cameo

Honestly, I think it's nice they're talking about sex. With how frequently Charlie and Nick are on top of each other, I thought it'd come sooner (no pun intended)

[Elle, lighthearted, joking] "Hey, be careful. We'll have another vomit situation." "Just need a night off from everything." Does Tara have an alcohol issue? Bc they've had her say this twice now while holding a drink

"Is he Tori's boyfriend?" "She won't confirm whether they're dating or not." Feels fitting

HAHAHAHA NOT ANTHONY BAILEY BEING THE INTERNET FAMOUS HISTORIAN. BOOKED AND BUSY, BABY! I'D SUBSCRIBE TO HIM TOO

Again, I did figure with an ep title like Body, Elle's radio interview was not going to be kind, but hoo boy

"You'll be hearing from me." YOU GET HER, ELLE'S MUM!

I know that's not at all what they're intending, but if they have sex right now, it will seem like Jonathan Bailey was so hot, they were compelled to have sex about it

What a bizarre season. It's half eating disorder, half sex

I don't know what Charlie just texted Nick, but I hope that it was "i'm ready to have sex" because that would be a VERY funny thing to do to Nick in class

"I should've expected it." Oh Elle, my sweet girl 😭😭😭😭😭

"Do you want to talk about it?" [Elle sighs, shakes head] "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" Tao has become SO GOOD at talking feelings since dating Elle

The cut to Baby Farouk in the classroom when they ask Charlie to apply for Head Boy. Gay teen representation DOES heal your inner child

"Good luck, I hope you do get to have your sex sleepover." Me too, Michael, Tori's Maybe Boyfriend

"You don't have to be the strong one all the time. I learned that the hard way." I'm glad Tara's in a better place now

"I just don't think I would've had the courage to explore being nonbinary if it weren't for you. I mean, I probably would've gotten around to it eventually, but you made it feel so easy....and joyful." Tara and Darcy's relationship is also soooo nice. I love everyone's relationship

HAHAHAH Charlie's Dad looking on to Charlie encouragingly as he asks his mum about staying over. Dad's on board with the sex sleepover

Charlie has decided to ask for forgiveness instead, since permission didn't go that well

The janky projector teetering on a pile of pillows is taking me out, it's so true to life. Also, couple nominated for best jawlines. ALSO ALSO. Making a fanvideo of your loved one is V SWEET

"I'm just scared you won't get it." "But I'll try, I'll always try." THEY 💗

"But when you're not around, I um... I don't know. I guess I feel a bit lost." I'm sooooo glad Nick is finally asking for support 💟

We finally got an answer to who was going to have sex on screen! It was Nick and Charlie, which is reasonable, as they are the protagonists. Not that Tara and Darcy and Elle and Tao didn't, but it was a little less explicit as this time we saw clothes flying. I also like that they acknowledged sex isn't just penetration

I appreciate that Charlie kept his shirt on for sex. King of Knowing His Own Comfort Zones

"She was never very nice to me. She was controlling, and sometimes..." Charlie's Mum said: My parenting style is a product of generational trauma

"I would feel much less worried about you if you waited a few more weeks, just til your GSCE's are over. Can that be our compromise?" Charlie, wearing Nick's clothes after they just had sex: Sure!

"Girls and boys can just be friends." True, however, Imogen did try to get Nick to wear a Halloween couple's costume with her while Charlie was away. So. She's got some stuff going on

"I don't think I've ever liked a boy, actually." YEAHHHH IMOGEN DISCOVERING HER IDENTITY! It was comphet!

HAHAHAH I wonder what this pharmacist assumes about Nick, buying condoms and lube with three girls

"I just don't think I think tell you enough how important you are to me." I love Charlie being soppy with his pals

"What's this song even about, Sahar?" "That's personal." "I thought it was about Imogen." HAHAHAHA Tao

Nick upon learning there's one (1) gay rugby player at Leeds: I am applying to this university forthwith

"I'm afraid of being away from him. I don't know who I am without him." Oh, Nick

I looove Charlie looking at himself in the mirror and seeing the animations but not in a Dark Imaginings way. Body neutrality 💓

"I just figured we should have a conversation about, but now... I wish I hadn't sad anything." [Charlie, gently] "Do you want me to go and find her?" [Michael nods] Baby Brother, Relationship Rescuer

"I wish I was like you. You're... hopeful. You try." That is the moral of Charlie's story

I love that you can see Charlie growing more confident as he plays music for the crowd

I think the Michael and Tori dynamic and Isaac's face is suggesting it's a queerplatonic situation, which admittedly is a term I don't fully feel I understand, but good for them

They've really done well to work around Olivia Colman's absence thoroughout this season, but it is hilarious that Nick and Charlie have had so much alone time in his house

I love the return to the end of season cuddle:

heartstopper vol 5 (review) 🍂✨📚

⚠️ spoilers ⚠️

speaking of the characters!! not specifically just about volume 5 but i need to gush for a second. charlie is just so incredibly relatable for me. his struggles feel so personal and intimate it can be hard to read but i just feel so so so seen by him. the way nick loves and cares about him is almost healing for me, weirdly enough. the entire friend group and how much they truly care so deeply for each person has healed a piece of me that has felt broken for a long time. they’re not even a real friend group but they really feel like my friends.

tao and elle once again being the most lovely supportive besties and are also so in love!!! tara and elle are such great supports for nick it’s so sweet to watch. and oh my little baby aled!!!!! i missed my boy so much!!! with him not being in the show i feel like i’ve neglected my appreciation for him as a character but i truly adore him so much and i was so happy to see him more in this volume!

tori!!!!!!! michael!!!!!!! tori and michael not being straight!!!!! oh my god!!!!!! ok sorry this was the one page i had seen on tumblr when the webtoon came out and everyone was freaking tf out haha this makes me so incredibly happy! tori is my favourite character forever and im so happy to see her and michael progressing and growing in this. also every interaction of tori and charlie makes me cry :)

the teachers are also just so incredibly sweet and really thriving and i love that for them!! i still think charlie’s mom hardcore sucks though sry. his dad is ok but like sir please tell your wife to chill more.

overall, shocker it was a 5 star read for me! alice never misses and i would die for these characters ✨

ps i tried out something new with making the collage and it was soooo fun!! i used to love making collages so that really made me feel nostalgic to make

[andthebubbles]

okay i watched heartstopper 2x01 haha i just realised it was out when i saw a gifset on my dash (and i was like, huh is there a new clip on yt? lol), for some reason i thought it was gonna be out in late aug but nah it's aug 3 which is aug 4 for me and now it's aug 5 here ANYWAY

nick's "this is good" after getting hugged by imogen; just, the way he said it, his voice, awwwww

i'm more invested in tara and darcy than nick and charlie lol

i may have sorta screeched at the part where elle was gonna draw tao because in that ~benedict the artist -fic* which is like, modern AU, it's just (well it starts out with) benedict drawing anthony over and over again in different costumes for art practice when they're at eton and YEAH so, that's what i thought of, much happy squeaking

i like tori. not so keen on isaac (yet?)

anyway eeeeh what else. awkward silences galore...... um also i think generally atm i'm in the mood for angst (yooo anthony) so this fluffy stuff is ... nice, and i would've REALLY appreciated having a show like this when i was in high school, but i'm older now and on the anthony angst train so i'm like, yep...

but it'll probably get a bit angstier in later eps, they're certainly foreshadowing it, though even in s1 it never got that angsty, and i REALLY like that, it just makes this show a warm comforting hug and that's esp nice when you're queer

i guess i'll watch more ... later, sometime. i just want more tara and darcy haha (i know they have some storyline but i want it nowww and i want it happily resolved haha)

*actually this show is quite informative for that fic because it's the UK school system which i know fuck-all about... so GCSE is yr 11 huh, and there is a study hall thing?? is this common? do they really randomly pair you off? why don't they just have individual desks for everyone? why would i want to sit next to a stranger? ... okay well maybe a stranger would motivate me to do work lol

also... so i gather that charlie is in yr 10? but then why does he share a class with nick who's in yr 11?

[le-dolla-bean-isthatspanish]

You know your Heartstopper obsession is intense when you sing along the background music and mouth the words of the dialogue while watching.

[wqxianwriting]

WELCOME ! :D

online / offline 💤

REQUESTS: [5/18] | Requests are CLOSED

~ Drabble + Headcanon Requests: [0/15]

> Drabble Requests are mini writings that I can do for people who ask. It could be you just talking about what you imagine a character doing/saying/etc & if I feel like adding onto it then I’ll make a small thing about it. It can consist of a little paragraph or bullet points… if you want a drabble specifically then you can ask as well. I’ll do 15 at a time since they’re easy to get through but if I happen to take a break or something then I’ll pick out 15 to focus on and ignore the potential others for that time being!

~ Writing Requests: [0/3]

> Writing Requests are exactly how they sound, a full on fic! Now I do get burnt out pretty fast even if I’m into the writing process so do be warned it may take a while for me to finish it if I’m going through that time. Unfortunately and fortunately, it may take months to finish if the burn out is that bad or life is just being a bitch at the time. I’ve had a Heartstopper request in my inbox for almost a year (maybe even going on two) because the idea was not fun to write anymore BUT you will still get it. I don’t plan for requests to ever sit that long again now that I’m in a better spot now & getting back into watching shows + playing games! Writing requests may go up to 5 eventually but I think 3 is a good spot because when I write fics… I write A LOT, haha.

^ I’ll be expanding on this in a proper post when I fully return from hiatus under my rules !! thanks sm for the patience & thanks for everyone enjoying the writings with the new season out fbdjsk y’all so cute /p!! writings willll come out soon, an update post will be out in a few weeks as well :)

QPR’s are very much so appreciated here! Just be clear on how you want it to be written since I’ve personally never been in one and know very basic things about them (willing to learn more!)

And of course any platonic requests are welcome, not everything has to be romantic :) or if you want your Reader to be in a relationship but a fic is centered around them and their bff but mention their partner in a passing… stuff like that is fine too!

Heartstopper — 🍂

Nick (F/M/GN/NB), Charlie (M/NB), Tao (F/NB), Elle (M/NB), Imogen (F/GN/NB/M), Tara & Darcy (F),

NB!Reader ≠ GN!Reader! When I say the reader is NB, they are strictly non-binary. Not a way for you to imagine them to fit your pronoun set or anything, they are just a non-binary character. GN on the other hand is for self-inserting your pronouns with! Nick for example can be paired with a GN!Reader but Charlie will only be paired with a NB!Reader and NOT a GN!Reader. For non-binary!reader requests, you are free to ask for different sets of pronouns besides They/Them AND you are free to request Genderfluid!Readers :) Genderfluid Readers can be paired with anyone as long as they align properly with the characters sexualities, if you have questions, ask.

^ this applies to all my fandoms!

Poly Requests: Nick & Charlie (Romantic: M/NB… Platonic: F/GN - to Charlie!(V-Relationship) or to both), Tao & Elle (NB), Tara & Darcy - Strictly Poly, you can ask for a Tara based fic but it’s still hinted you, her and Darcy are together. You will never have a T or D x Reader. (F/NB)

- Elle’s sexuality is never stated that I know of, if anyone knows please let me know but because of that, Reader will be strictly non-binary or gender just not stated, including if you request Tao x Elle x Reader! (So they will be strictly NB!)

- I’ve changed my mind on Imogen’s situation and you’re free to ask for any Reader with her but please be respectful of her character! I’m not sure if she’s questioning exactly which is why I’m tip toeing around her & why I’ll let it slide aha.

Tears of Themis — 💧

Marius (M/F/GN/NB), Luke (M/F/GN/NB), Artem (M/F/NB/GN), Vyn (M/F/GN/NB), Rosa (M/F/GN/NB)

Poly Requests: The whole NXX team or you can just pick specific characters! (M/F/NB/GN)

My Hero Academia — ✨

Bakugou, Izuku, Shouto, Mina, Uraraka, Toga,

Poly Requests: You can pair anyone for the most part… (M/F/NB/GN) Just don’t be weird. TDBKDK is 100% fine for example or like, BKsquad x DKsquad is fine too!

Our Life: Beginnings & Always — 🌊

Cove (M/F/GN/NB), Baxter (M/F/GN/NB), Derek (M/F/GN/NB)

Our Life: Now & Forever — 🍁

Qiu (M/F/GN/NB), Tamarack (M/F/GN/NB), Renee/Ren/Darren (M/F/GN/NB), Vianca (F),

Poly Requests: Qiu & Tamarack (V-relationship) which will be them in a relationship with you but friends with eachother (M/F/NB)!

- Renee’s sexuality isn’t confirmed yet but since she was potentially meant to be apart of the ROM squad if they had time to add her as a extra DLC romance, it’s assumed that she at least romantically would be interested in multiple genders. I’ll be following that idea for the meantime until we get her confirmed sexuality.

- Serenity isn’t on here because we have no confirmation on her sexuality either~ I’ll be willing to write for her when we find out!

TBA…

Heartstopper Ep3

Oh, so her name's Imogen! Hehehe.. She clearly has a crush on Nicholas. 😊 Those purple hearts were adorable.

OMG! He asked Charlie if he'd accompany him to the party! 🤩

I feel sorta sad for Tao because he really wanted to hang out with his besties tonight & sadly two of them couldn't make it. Aww..

Haha.. Charlie & Nick looking for each other in that crowded party was heart poundingly cute!

Okay, seriously, that Harry needs to take a chill pill.

ATTENTION: Charlie don't go. Do Not Assume Nick Likes Tara. Do. not. Assume! 😥

Aww.. Okay, so now Nick knows Tara is a lesbian and has a girlfriend too. Gods, Tara and Darcy are sweet too. Hehehe.. 

Aww.. considering that Nick has finally accepted that he feels much better around Charlie, it goes without saying that Charlie is his best friend. :D

Harry, you little -- dumbass..  I have never understood why people make fun of someone’s feelings/crush on someone. Recently, I watched this movie called A Whisker Away (you can catch it on Netflix. Lovely animation and a sweet story) and **spoilers ahead** it had a scene where a classmate of the female lead snatched her letter (which she’d written for her crush) and read it out loud in front of the whole class, including her crush and kept laughing in between. It was truly nerve wracking and painful to watch it. The female lead says in a broken voice to not “make fun of her feelings.” And that truly was heartbreaking. You could see the subtle way the insolent boy reacted to her words (he must’ve felt ashamed) but still went on to ask the male lead (the crush) how he’d respond to her confession. **spoiler ended**

Anyway, that scene reminded me how fucking cruel people can be when they don’t have anyone to teach them compassion and kindness.

And this scene where Harry is making fun of Charlie’s supposed crush on Nick is disgusting. It makes it even worse because he assumes that everyone will laugh, nod and agree with him about how pitiful Charlie is just because he’s gay. I am furious!

Well, that was valiant of Nick and truly remarkable of him to walk out from there. We shouldn’t tolerate such disgusting things either, guys. Harry must’ve been feeling like he’s on a pedestal, thinking he’s joking while he really was being downright cruel.

Onto lighter matters, it’s so sweet to see this bond between Tao and Elle. (somebody give me tissues *tearing up*) I agree with Elle. 

“Sometimes change is a good thing.”

EXCUSE ME! Okay, people, listen! If anyone ever comes to you and says 

“I’m sorry about what happened. Have you finished sulking about it?” 

then you have the right to get the fuck outta there like the hellhounds are on your tail! Alright?

Like Joe says to Mia in Princess Diaries “ Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

You. Have the right to feel. What you feel!

If the other person is sane and courteous and compassionate enough to approach you properly, basically way better than how Ben does to Charlie, then you know you can have a decent discussion to sort out what’s going on. Otherwise, NOPE! 

Imogen is really pretty. I like how her eyes shimmer in those disco dancing lights!

What?! OMG!! Yes! Considering the title of the episode I thought (yes, wishful thinking *rolling my eyes*) that maybe Charlie and Nick might share a kiss, no matter how small, doesn’t have to be on the lips either. I’m even more happy to see Tara and Darcy embracing the party and finally feeling free enough to share a kiss here, among the crowds! Oh god! It was so utterly sweet too! 

Also Nick witnessed that moment and felt happy and a sort of admiration for them showed how maybe it’s not too bad to discover and embrace new things about himself.

Yes! Nick found Charlie finally! Ohohoho.. You know the minute Charlie mentioned Ben, you can see Nick’s face fall. Like he is scared that Charlie will slip away. Ahhhhhhhhh..

Bro, how big is this house?!?

OMG! I love snarky Nick! :D

First of all, I loved how Nick is so vulnerable and open with Charlie and the questions leading up to the kiss were so soft spoken and even more softly answered. And the kiss! Sweet lord, I held my breath all through it, because this nasty part of my brain kept saying someone will interrupt this beautiful moment and ruin it with their disgusting opinions and whatever reactions and Charlie’s heart will be broken and Nick will heartbroken too and then there will be a much bigger chasm for the both of them to find their way back to each other!

Thankfully, whatever I expected didn’t happen and I was so glad that they kissed again! Their little pinkies intertwining was such a small detail but a meaningful one! And Nick went on to hold Charlie’s hand and I felt my heart soar at that!

BUT! Harry literally broke the trance. That little shit!

God, the way Nick got up as if he was burned or afraid of being walked in on, gave my second hand flashbacks of Charlie sort of going through the same with Ben. Ugh... This fear has got to stop!

Oh god! Charlie’s overthinking and assuming things again. (T_T)

Waaaaaaa--- Nicholas is here?! (0.0)

Heartstopper Review Rambles. I wrote it out of order, sorry. 

Overall; Episode One; Episode Six. 

Spoilers

Episode Two: Crush

My brain shutdown the moment Charlie said “bisexual people exist”.

I had to watch the episode again immediately because, frankly, shows (and media in general) saying bisexual is rare enough.

Let alone having a gay character say it. If a media ever dares say bisexual, it’s usually the bisexual character. Followed immediately by disbelief or questions by other characters. So I can’t give you initial thoughts because of the said-brain shutting down thing. So just have random shit, I guess. 

Charlie really said Bi Rights and I was already in “Precious Bean Protect” mode.  And my brain was not prepared to deal with it.

Also like the way it was done that Charlie made sure to shut down his friends’ stereotyping and bi-erasure. 

“I know he’s straight, he told me,” meanwhile Nick Bi-Panicking over the other side of the plot. 

This isn’t a dig at Charlie. He’s literally just going by Nick’s text-agreement which is already like way ahead of his friends. 

Pfft like his running. 

I’m not apologizing for that very forced simile. 

- Well, opening scene is terrifying and sad. Thanks Heartstopper. 

- DOGGIE!

- Pour one out of Nellie. Nick laughed at an unfunny post because his crush posted it and Nellie had to witness it. Nellie proving to be a good doggie 100/100.

Show does not cut to Nick after Charlie sends his ‘sneaky’ (And cringe but boy is fourteen, he’s allowed to be cringe) “thanks for being my supportive straight friend haha” text. Interesting. 

- Charlie being bold and sending a red heart. 

- And Nick’s smile at the heart. Also knowing Nellie is supposed to be eleven years old, she is definitely leaving a giant drool patch on Nick’s leg. 

- Ah so Charlie’s the person who does ask for advice but wants a certain answer instead of actual advice. 

- omg I never noticed Ajayi’s little smile as Charlie leaves the room. 

- “My parents don’t like animals,” - Charlie. So Charlie’s parents have no taste. 

- Aww Nick nearly said “you look great”. 

- Nick has not heard Charlie play the drums at this point but he’s crushing so bad he’s like “you’re good at drums” to Charlie. 

- Pour another out for Nellie who was used to get Nick’s crush over to his house. Nellie, best wingdog 100/100. 

- Snow-scene is Peak Romance Trope. The only time it is acceptable to leave a Snow-scene out of your romance if it is set in an area that never snows. 

- pfft Charlie is already mama-approved by Sarah. 

- Awww Nick was going to ask Charlie to his house again.  Also love the detail that apparently Nick couldn’t say night to Charlie through their texts and kept the chat going.

- Pffft Tao trying to pretend what is happening in rugby is me. I tried, I just can’t get it. 

- Damn it Tao. Stop getting your opinions from the grapevine. They are always years out of date. And stop making Charlie second-guess himself, he is reading right. 

- Tao “you shouldn’t talk to the rugby lads” Xu is apparently on good enough terms with one to slide up to them and ask if Nick is interested in anyone. Charlie, stop listening to Tao. 

Aww, Charlie’s little face. NO, CHARLIE YOU WERE READING THE ROOM RIGHT! STOP TRUSTING TAO ON THIS! LOOK, NICK SPECIFICALLY YELLED OUT TO WAVE AT YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING FIELD!

Also Tao sees that and is still trusting Otis’s grapevine gossip.  

“confirmed by multiple sources,” - Tao about Nick’s supposed crush on Tara. Tao, your sources suck and are the equivalent of webmd. Nellie would like a word with you Tao. Nellie was not used as a ploy to invite Charlie to Nick’s house only for you to insist that Nick has a crush on someone other than Charlie. 

- “He’s the straightest person I’ve ever seen,” - Elle. Needs to see her optometrist again. Charlie, no, sweetie. You’re not being an idiot. STOP LISTENING TO YOUR FRIENDS! 

- And now Charlie is in his head because his friends are stereotyping and listening to romance-equivalent of webmd. Great. 

- Aww, Nick practically lit up when Charlie invited him over. 

- Tara and Darcy laughing at the boyfriend questions in their language class. Also Tara’s “that’s the gayest excuse I’ve ever heard!” when Elle saw them holding hands. 

- Charlie Spring holding Nick’s hands to teach him the drums. Brave or Nick was just that terrible, Charlie’s nerves about being that close to his crush disappeared? I say brave. But I would find it funny if the real reason why Charlie just couldn’t stand Nick’s attempts to play the drums.

- Aww Nick’s bi crisis as he tries to hold Charlie’s hand twice. 

- Tori Appears and Calls It. I like to think she did not actually hear Nick’s “you look cuddly like that” to Charlie and just witnessed the hug. Well for now, that is what I have decided. I might go back to the she def heard the cuddly-part. 

Also I know in the comics, Charlie said to Tori that Nick was straight and that was why Tori said she didn’t think Nick was straight. But I like to think show-wise, Tori just saw Nick interact with her brother once and said that with no other related conversations. 

- “What does it mean when Hot Straight Boy hugs you for like a full ten seconds,” It means he ain’t straight, Charlie. Stop listening to Tao. Tao is very bad at this.

- Tao “he was probably imagining you were Tara” Xu, Nellie would like multiple words with you! Next Season: Nellie starts an animal-human feud with Tao. 

- Charlie is brave. Nick is just a himbo. Buddy, why are you having your sexuality-crisis searches in a tab that will record your history? And why, in following episodes, are you listening to videos without earphones/headphones? Do you not have any? Is your room the attic? Is Nellie getting tired of your pining and sitting/laying on your earphones/headphones?

You can’t stop headcanoning that it’s the last one of those. 

- Tao and Elle both trying to convince Charlie that Nick is straight when this episode ends with Nick googling “am i gay?” is brilliant. Charlie, stop listening to your friends. They are terrible at this.

Also if you are genuinely googling “am i gay?”, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that you are not straight.

qcyn ep 11 -- can you believe the finale is tomorrow?!?

this whole texting section was so funnyyyy and i will honorably mention yet again that yao chi texting mc jin in english is so sweet

li ronghao torturing xu longhan iS HIALRIOSUS 

 but i also pity the poor child LOOL

wait can we talk about chen tao’s spelling timao LOL

and chen sijian’s face LOLLL

omg yao mingming’s message is so aww... he mentions liking yixing since he debuted in 2012.......

omgggg fjj and wang yi theyre all so cute and screamy and i loveee 

WAIT CAN WE TALK ABOUT LIN MO AND WANG YI’S HAPPY DANCE

oh gosh the8 is really showing us how hard seventeen works to get their choreo super in sync wow they really must work so hard.... wow minghao giving up the center position bc he knows how important this is to these kids... he deserves more recognition as a great mentor wow

oh my goodness.......... li zhenning’s voice shaking as he says to shi mingze “if you can get into top 20, then you’ll have hope” is.... the most heartbreaking......... knowing that shi mingze doesnt.......... they literally were smiling as they went off into this corner to talk and are crying by the time they come out..... can you just imagine how much sadness and stress is constantly looming over these kids’ heads and tearing down at their mental health?? its all hidden and suppressed, but with really fragile borders, so as soon as you pick at the walls, their raw emotions come bursting through... 

this just reminds me that even tho shi mingze is their cool, handsome leader, hes still the youngest in bg project............

can we please talk about how considerate of a friend li zhenning is and has been?? 

and this all took place before zhenning ever ranked into top 9.... so to them, this opportunity wouldve been really important for zhenning too, bc maybe he wouldve really needed it to get into top 9. but at least we know now.... he has enough popularity that they made the correct choice and hopefully more people will notice shi mingze as a result

ZHAN YU’S ARMSSSSSSSSS bo yuan’s hair!! i really like it!!!! wen yechen in pink!!!!!! his voice is so addicting i just wanna hear more of it... it dont matter that zhenning isnt center, he still shines :)) wait wu zelin’s voice i really liked it in retreat and we get even more vocal-like wu zelin here! thats a realy nice purple on qunfeng, hes really rocking this look SHI MINGZE I SAW THAT WINK frick minghao’s dancing is just so satisfying to watch wowow

man he looks so good

wow i live for random zhan yu reactions (imma just collect them here LOL)

after journey and mc jin’s friendship is so cute hahahaha

ok i see why elle thinks chen tao is a visual

wang zhe and wu chengze have both really improved in their stage presence throughout the course of this show aw deng chaoyuan looks the happiest we’ve ever seen him on stage haha zhou shiyuan’s voice is really so cool 

i guess we’ll never find out why gu landi is in mc jin’s group..... is it bc yao chi is here? im sorry i love this song and i love a lot of the kids in this group but can you just imagine how much better this stage would’ve been if it were with more kids who had experience rapping....? last year’s “zero” stage just made such a bigger impression on me...... this is actually really such a contrast im---

ALKSJDLAKSJDLK CHEN SIJIAN’S RAPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE JUST DID THATT!!!!!!!!!! DID YOU SEE THAT!??!?!1//!ASDLKJALSKJJ OMGGOHS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! CHEN SIJIAN JUST BLEW EVERYOEN OUT OF THE WATER YOU BEST BET HE DID WOWOW HE JSUT I CANT BELEIEVE HE JSUT INCLUDED AT LEAST 4 NAMES WOW 

IM WEN YECHEN

chen sijian is really the best at writing raps about his bros wow and like also he has the most creative lyrics i really appreciate wow such talent hes amazing!!!

a lost baby..

UNDERAPPRECIATED GU LANDI VISUALS

the face of a legend 

ever since i saw the “time” ballad version, ive had a sneaking suspicion that lin yuzhi is secretly one of the strongest vocalists on this show..... this is the face of talent

idk whose outfit is distracting me more, xu bingchao or xixi’s LOL shao haofan looks so nice here wow and ding feijun is so adorable even tho this is a more mature concept but i still cant see him as anything but a cute child

maybe its the way they cut up the lines but idk this song didnt really show off their vocal abilities that well..... sorry xixi :( i think xixi’s voice deserved better time to shine on this show...... his and feng junjie’s voices are actually both so nice i was so impressed when i saw them singing in the oaca clips

this koala ad makes me very uncomfortable......

wenhan reaches into the box and pulls out..... costco brand blueberries??!?!?/1 hHhahahhahHAHAHHA 

lol yao chi being so sentimental... oh look at this photo of me with bubbles on my face (me: oh no here it come--) OH YEA ALSO CHECK OUT THIS FACE WASH!

wow kou cong!! a face i havent seen in a while aw! i cant believe they filmed all the yaa eps while they all still had colorful hair lol i guess ill never get to see lin mo on yaa /sigh/ or actually any of the tyger members cept jia yi.........

HAHAHAHAHHA YESSSSSSSSS THEY INCLUDED A CLIP OF CHEN SIJIAN’S PHONE CALL !!!! HIS WAS HILARIOUSS!!!! HAHAHAHA I LOVED HOW SIMILAR HIS FAN SEEMED TO BE TO HIM HAHAH 

AAHH AS SOON AS IT GETS TO LIN MO’S ITS THE SAD MUSIC TIME

his was the most heartwarming call.... no bias LOL

feng junjie singing “the great artist” just---

this boy will never stop with the meme faces hHAHAHA

im surprised this section was so short lol i was expecting them to spend more time on this group...

SUN ZELIN SUN ZELIN SUN ZELIN YEA

jolin’s eyes are so wow 

feng junjie with the voice!!!!!!1 

JOLIN THE QUEEN

still kinda wish jia yi had more opportunity to sing on this show......... hes like second main vocalist to zhan yu in tyger but i feel like he hasnt gotten to show his voice much :( he did really well tho!!! he really has impressive stage presence

omg lin mo’s super shy “1 day” ahhhhh 

omg wang jiayi looks like hes about to cry... the poor child....

yixing reaching out to apologize to them.... hes really so caring towards them...... wang jiayi just needs more confidence!! i believe in him too

where did lin mo get this white cap from? lol he chose the pink one..... on a related note, im so happy lin mo got to be in yixing’s group, bc from the beginning with namanana hes really really tried so hard to earn yixing’s recognition, im sure it means a lot to him to be able to learn from him like this and share a stage with him 

yao mingming too, i feel like he really values yixing’s recognition as well

i think all the kids in this group had to have known that picking yixing’s group would be the most tiring and require the most effort, but i think choosing this group regardless just really shows they came here to learn 

A HAPPY BABYYY

omg like yixing is really /teaching/ them and i appreciate that

lin mo and xu fangzhou’s voices!!!!!!

OOF IM SO READY FOR THIS OUTFIT 

ASLDKALSDKJLAK HE WINKED!!!!!!!!!!!

what is this awkward closeup

why does fangzhou have wings lol

i feel like theres a lot of random awkward closeups of lin mo.... should i be happy about this??? LOL i dont think theyre all very flattering but at the same time at least hes got closeups....???? ? ??  

OOF HES GETTING MORE LINES THAN I EXPECTED TOO

you know how ive talked about how i love how much detail lin mo puts into his dancing, including even his slight head tilts? LOOK ANOTHER HEAD TILT 

HAHAHAHHAHA GUAN YUE’S EYES GOT SO BIG HAHAHHAHA OMGGG

ooof lin mo getting to sing the chorus with yixing im !!!!!! im sure hes so grateful for this opportunity wow also i think i mentioned this with namanana but i really think lin mo suits yixing’s dance style, like its a style that hes pulls off really well, so i think he got to shine a bit in this performance :’)

ok i havent said this yet but what is with that thick black fade at the top of the screen its so annoying??? like why you gotta cover the top of their heads??? 

wow we’re really getting a lot of random lin mo shots hahahha is this iqiyi repenting their wrongs from ‘spirit of the knight’ i almost am surprised how yao mingming isnt getting the most screentime but then i remember iqiyi has never favored yao mingming........ /sigh

AYYY WENXUAN AND LIN MO THE BUDDIES

just look at how perfectly tilted / well-positioned lin mo’s head is wow and that gaze wow i just love his stage presence

yea im gonna have to rewatch this perf to gif the lin mo moments.... maybe after the finale tomorrow when ill be like oop lin mo didnt make it in oh well let me just wallow in his talent that the audience slept on by drowning myself in lin mo content (its not like i do that every day already)

LOL THAT CAMERA SPIN WAS SUCH A FAIL YOU CANT SEE ANYONE CEPT WENXUAN ADJUSTING HIS MIC HAHAHHAHA ok on a side note tho im glad wenxuan got to be in this group too!! yuehua’s dancer getting to show us his dancing again :’) and we all know he was discouraged being reshuffled into “maze” and i just wanna say wenxuan deserves more credit for being able to really go out of his comfort zone and pull off the cute concept in “maze” well even tho he didnt want to accept it at first! 

HES PERFECT 

hey yall is it just me or did you see lin mo’s eyes in that really fast flashy bit at the end of the preview for the finale? HAHHAHAHA i couldnt even screenshot it bc it was so fast, but i swear i saw his eyes so i think he was in it LOOOL

JSUT KIDDING I WENT BACK AND TRIED AGAIN AND I GOT IT

I KNEW I SAW HIS EYES HAHAHAHHAHA

oo i havent mentioned this before but i really like the sound of chen sijians voice, even when speaking... 

OMG GU LANDI

OMGGGG MY CHILD YE ZIMING IN FREAKING TARZAN NEXT DOOR??!???

THIS IS TOO MUCH!!!!!!! THANKS FOR REMINDING US HOW IQIYI TOTALLY SLIGHTED THIS BOY OUT OF GETTING INTO TOP 35

OOF LOOK AT ZHAN YU’S JAWLINE (ooops sorry yechen ahhahhhaa)

they must really like this part of the choreo?? 

BUT I LOVE THIS LOOK ON YECHEN YESSS

lol is this lin mo’s back
