This is such an interesting point! Charlie is actually really brave. He puts himself out there a lot. He was the one who instigated their first kiss. He was the first to say “I love you”. Yeah, you could argue that there were pretty obvious signs that his feelings were reciprocated, but this is a kid who doubts himself so much and he still took that step.

It’s so great to see this verbalised, because people often assume “person who hates/devalues themselves” is the same as “person who isn’t confident” (and also that the opposite is true). People also assume that if they don’t feel a certain way, they lack confidence or courage. But it’s not that simple. I think it’s so important for people who struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, shame, etc to see this spelled out.

I also think this is an important point because people underrate Charlie’s courage. Yes, he misdirects it sometimes, and he doesn’t recognise it in himself to his own detriment, but this kid is so brave. He’s dealt with so much shit, from school, from his family, and from his own mind, and he keeps getting up and trying again. I love him so much.

I know we can’t get everything we want in season 3 (or it would be 87 episodes long) but as a therapist in training, I really, really hope we get to meet Geoff and hear some conversations about trauma and healing not being linear.

… and for selfish reason, I want to see a heartstopperized therapist’s office so I can decorate accordingly in the future. I WILL someday own the “stand tall show them all” poster from Charlie’s room and it WILL be in my office.

Note for Alice (just incase lol): pls don’t take this as a criticism if this is not in the show !!! You did a beautiful job and I adore all of your work and can’t wait to recommend it to future clients !!!

more thank yous to heartstopper 💜

Thank you for teaching me that having bad days are okay, they’re normal and it’s okay to get upset.

Thank you for teaching me that going to a councillor or therapist is a good thing and people won’t judge you for it

Thank you for everything <3

There are so many moments in season three that hit hard, or resonate so deeply, or that break my heart just a little. But somehow, this tiny, huge moment is the one that pulled the emotional rug out from under me. Ugly tears were cried.

The hope in Charlie's eyes.

The journey begins. 💕

"trauma doesn't define you. but it also doesn't vanish in five minutes, so..." is actually really great advice to remember

Geoff: What do we say when life disappoints us?

Charlie: Called it!

Geoff: No.

Now that we know who the actors are playing Michael and Henry, I want to know who is going to play Geoff!

The moment in ‘Truth/Dare’ where Charlie tells Harry he can’t come in and Nick looks at him like he’s so fucking proud and all his friends are celebrating him and then… Ben.

Oof that moment was so good. It’s quick, but it’s so important. (Also feel like this relates to my earlier post about Charlie rebelling against his mum.)

This moment shows how far Charlie’s come with his friends and with Nick. He’s standing up to the bullies now. It’s not that long ago that he told Nick he was used to being treated like shit, that Nick shouldn’t ditch his terrible "friends" because of Charlie. When we get to ‘Promise’, Charlie is telling Harry to piss off. It’s for Nick, but it’s a big step forward. But here, in ‘Truth/Dare’, Charlie’s telling Harry no for himself. He’s starting to want better for himself. He’s refusing to stay “used to it”.

What’s so poignant for me about this little moment is the contrast between Charlie’s friends and Ben. It really emphasises the change in Charlie. For Ben, a happy and confident Charlie is the worst possible outcome. The only way Ben could ever keep Charlie in his life was by convincing Charlie he was worthless (and that only worked for so long). Nick and the rest of the Paris squad are all helping Charlie realise he’s priceless.

Yeah, we know that it’s a rough journey for Charlie from here. Love can't cure a mental illness, after all. And sometimes starting to heal and want more for yourself can be more painful (in the beginning) than accepting the shitty treatment. Trauma doesn’t go away in five minutes (thanks Geoff), but you can see the start of what might be possible for Charlie and I love that for him.

I would quite simply implode if this was announced…

I feel like heartstopper is a project that David would be a part of for several reasons:

He is very openly an lgbtqia+ ally

He has connections to the cast- Yasmin Finney, Olivia Coleman, Jonathan Bailey

Fairly sure I have seen him and Georgia talk about the show so they know if it’s existence and have watched it

He legit wears Alice Oseman’s ‘queer was always here’ merch (shown in above photo)

Probs more connections but I’m too hyped to form proper thoughts rn

Oh and don’t forget he literally looks like Geoff and he would make a great therapist for Charlie!

Watching season 3 of Heartstopper. Geoff is introduced and I was caught off guard because in my head he was supposed to be "Joff," not "Jeff."

I dated a guy in high school named Geoff. Was not a good relationship. I looked him up recently and he's a pediatric ER doctor. I won't go into detail, but I found that very disturbing based on our relationship.

sorry, i’m still not over the fact that jonathan bailey will be in s3 of heartstopper
