"I think of you and me as Module "B" of the detective agency. Todd and I being Module "A", the investigative arm, but you and I, we're the strike team, for when things get physical."

Gentle reminder that Dirk “He’s Perfect” Gently looks at Todd like the sun shines out of his ass, even seconds after Todd calls him ‘annoying’.

#SaveDirkGently Day 12: Most Unexpected - Suzie Boreton turning her son into a frog

What I would consider actually the most unexpected is a spoiler for the last episode of s2 so I’m choosing when Suzie Boreton literally turned her son into a frog.

Watch Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency on Netflix Jan. 5 to help us get a third season! Check out this post to see other ways you can help!

Can’t believe how… real Heartstopper is. I mean I’m only on episode 1 I’m not even talking about the plot, the setting and dialogue is literally just….. being at secondary school in the UK. It’s ridiculously realistic hope there’s a nice Spanish teacher

Okay I was rambling about this in someone else’s post so let me just bring it here

I really appreciate Tao for many reasons but one of them is that he occupies a particular Type of Student that I see in schools all the time. Tao fully Cannot Shut Up Ever.

And it’s refreshing to see from a victim of bullying* because TV tends to only show the ‘say nothing run away’ type of person but high schools are full of people like Tao, who are told they make things worse for themselves because they talk back.

The chorus of sarcastic “oooooo”s from the rugby boys when Tao returns Harry’s insults - that’s realism baby. It’s the behaviour that makes teachers say “you’re giving them what they want”, “they’re just doing it for a reaction”, etc. Most media will have the Charlie type faced with these comments from adults, nonsensically because ??? he’s so used to being insulted that he really does just walk on by. But writers know that teachers say it so they’ll include the lines even when it doesn’t make narrative sense. Rarely do we see somebody actually “fEeD” the bullies and get laughed at more - because it’s easier to sympathise with Charlie who ducks his head and refuses the conflict than with Tao who says “and what???????” Even as viewers, we think “Yikes Tao” a little bit even though we know the “bring it on yourself” spiel is damaging garbage.

But not everyone can do the Charlie thing. He confronts Ben when it gets personal, but he just ignores Harry and the bystanders as part of his everyday existence. That takes a certain quality - not inherently brave or cowardly - that some people (particularly if they feel that they’re only involved in a conflict to defend a friend - Tao, baby, even if Charlie didn’t exist they’d come for you) just don’t possess. When angry or hurt they lash out and - gosh, this show is so wonderfully made - even though Tao towers over some of those year 11s, you can see how ridiculous and little they find him when he gives in and talks back. Somehow we can see him through their eyes, even as we hate them. They looooove when he goes for Harry. Wind up the weirdo and watch him spin! Ooh, we’ve got him really mad now! What’s he gonna do?

Because Tao is kind of secondary to the bullying storyline, we don’t have to suffer through a teacher telling him he should just walk off like Charlie - and it seems like the school excludes the older kid without punishing the younger one at all, which 👏🏻 in this situation was absolutely the right call. Even though it’s not specifically addressed, I love that we have this kind of character in Tao. And the fact that it feeds in to misunderstandings in the friend group (Tao assuming that Charlie won’t tell him about Nick because he’s outspoken around the rugby team) is better still, narratively speaking. Just, very much wow to Heartstopper’s depiction of secondary school society, nasty year 11 jocks in particular, and mouthy weirdos especially.

I never got bullied. On this spectrum I was probably Isaac - I was friends with the kids who got bullied but never worth being on anyone’s radar (or particularly invested in anyone nonfictional). My boyfriend very much did get bullied and was quite Tao about it for years before despair drove him Charlieward. That evolution exists too, when you start to believe the teachers’ claims that you could stop this all by just not engaging (and, nope, it doesn’t stop it for Charlie anyway, and just feeds in to his feelings of worthlessness). Just, so much admiration for this portrayal, for a whole cast of characters with their own responses, and a narrative that never holds the victims accountable for being picked on, however instinct guides them to react.

*yes, they were bullying him as well as Charlie imo.

If Yasmin Finney is playing Donna & Shaun’s daughter, called Rose because of The Memories bleeding through and I’m not saying I even believe it necessarily but if she is, then I am currently wondering whether the character is cis or whether a conversation happened at some point where she said to Donna, “Hey mum, what would you have named me if you’d known I was a girl all along?” and Donna put her head on one side and said, “You know… I’ve always felt like the name Rose was right somehow.”

Anyway that’s what I’m thinking about this morning although for the record it would be funny as heck if she’s just a random girl named Rose and the Doctor has to face facts that he might just have two friends with the same fairly common human name

My #1 post of 2022

heartstopper is such a breath of fresh air, and not just for the obvious lgbt reasons, but for being a teen romance of any kind that generates high drama, shock reveals and cliffhangers out of normal everyday events that actually would and could happen in a uk school and just generally deals with teenage sexuality without sexualising the characters. like I know these are chiefly fledgling relationships so should netflix survive there might well be development in future seasons involving activity somewhere south of kissing but just honestly wow @ the detailed, thoughtful storytelling that series 1 manages without ever once even toying with the idea that any of these characters would, should or could be sleeping together at this stage in their relationships. beautifully delivered. 10/10 wonderful.
