a few eps into hstv season 2 and i'm so so happy with the inclusion of Naomi and Felix. I'm so grateful that we live in a world where there can be trans characters on a mainstream tv show, and not just one token trans person but SEVERAL (!!!) actually being friends like thats so special in of itself. speaking of trans joy, i love how perfectly the show depicts how life changing it is to see other trans people and how that connection is so so much different to interacting with cis people. i'm actually grateful to live in the present because i know that this could never have happened, even 5 years ago on a platform as big as Netflix of all places <3

trans solidarity

the bond that elle, naomi, and felix create is actually so special and so sweet i want that kind of friendship, the kind that blooms into something big so quickly because you just get each other

[artisthedgehog]

I know Felix hasn't had a lot of screen time in season 2 but if anything happened to them I would be ready to fight the whole world

every heartstopper hug -> 2x03: elle, naomi, felix

[auggielovesreading]

Can we as heartstopper nation agree to protect Naomi and Felix forever?

[scullysconstant]

heartstopper having wheelchair user rep is so special to me i loved felix, how their disability was never ever a matter in the show and the fact that they just live a normal life and has friends who include them in everything they do :’) and having queer disabled rep is SO IMPORTANT yes we exist we’re here we’re queer

Ngl, I was kind of weary by the way Darcy's non-binary identity was 'foreshadowed' and eventually affirmed by their lack of association with what's considered feminine (giving their skirt away, cutting their hair short) and disinterest in arbitrary gender roles/divides (teaming up with Nick for volleyball). I feel like what little non-binary rep we have (especially in the mainstream) is based on someone assumed to be a girl who expresses a disconnect with femininity through their androgynous (read: vaguely if not outright masculine) style, which isn't an uncommon experience but it is consistently the only one ever really seen.

Obviously, Heartstopper has to be this way because Edgell is transmasc and this was done to help affirm their gender, and I don't have an issue with this or Darcy's story in isolation (except that it was very much in the background and I would've like more onscreen development).

That said, the only other confirmed non-binary character is also an androgynous (again: vaguely masculine) character who is transmasc (assuming a shared trans-experience between actors and characters, like with Finney-Elle, Priestly-Naomi, Edgell-Darcy, etc). And the only show character who is popularly headcanoned as non-binary is Millie, the Truth Or Dare Higgs student. Y'know, the one who goes to the girls' school but has a buzzcut and a generally masculine style? I've mostly seen Millie been referred to with they/them pronouns despite no confirmed pronouns being used for Millie thus far. (Please note: I've not been able to find the actor's pronouns yet, but to some extent this is irrelevant because Ash Self currently uses he/him while Felix uses they/them.)

And more broadly, all the girls' fashion leans towards femininity while all of the boys' fashion leans into masculinity. I think out of the main girls, Sahar leans the furthest into androgyny but never fully into masculinity (and it goes without saying, Sahar 'the concept virginity is bullshit' Zahid wears make-up), which is easily overshadowed by the femininity of more prominent characters like Elle, Tara or Imogen. Meanwhile, the closest we get to femininity from the guys is Charlie's pink cardigan, but it's just something kind of gender-neutral which is also pink. Especially in contrast to what was perceived as a cis girl being so gnc that she gets kicked out - which is recontextualised as a non-binary person being their authentic self - it just feels like Heartstopper is leaning into the standards of feminine girls, masculine boys and androgynous non-binary people. Even if the characters might be cautious about being gnc in public, just some of them exploring and embracing it at home or in a more private event would be a nice contrast.

Heartstopper is the sweetest, most wholesome thing ever. Nick and Charlie are such supportive boyfriends, it's beautiful. And their friends are all amazing too. I'm so in love. 😍

[im-getting-help]

I need a Saltburn fic that is "Oxford days with Heartstopper energy" no horny, no angst, no hurt, no nothing. Only fluff and cute.

please.
