No Pressure, Nick

Seriously, no pressure at all.

Just LOTS of really enthusiastic encouragement from everyone.

⬆️ Except for Tao.

Bonus: Happy Nick (and Charlie)

imogen being adopted by the gay friend group makes me so so happy

It's 1991, and everyone is crazy about Nirvana. Eddie is no exception, he's been playing their recent album non-stop, he and Jonathan spend hours talking about how amazing Kurt Cobain is.

"I miss when our boyfriends had different musical tastes," said Steve to Nancy, as they watched them.

"I think it's great after we spent half of the last decade listening to them fight over defending their musical tastes," exclaimed Nancy, "don't be so jealous."

"Excuse me but Jon already stole a girlfriend from me, I don't want him to steal a boyfriend too."

Nancy gave him a little punch in the arm and sat down where both boys were. Steve was obviously joking he didn't think Jon had stolen anything from him but maybe he was a little jealous that Eddie and Jon were spending so much time together when Eddie could be kissing him.

"Ouch... Rude"

Although he secretly loves seeing Eddie so excited about a new band when he's already famous. It's cute.

Corroded Coffin and Nirvana coincide at a festival, Eddie gets uncontrollably excited, Eddie can fool anyone but not his boyfriend. Steve knows he doesn't just like the music the blue-eyed man makes, he likes the man in general.

It takes a few words and a few seconds looking into the other vocalist's beautiful, expressive blue eyes to make Steve want to wrap him in a soft blanket and shield him from the outside world. What a man.

As Kurt and the Nirvana guys leave, Steve can't help but say:

"Okay, I get it ... He's cute"

Eddie laughs and kisses him.

i think what a lot of people fail to get about heartstopper and why it used to get/still gets (?) bashed for being “too unrealistic because the real world is not like this” is like. yeah. yeah it isn’t. i think most of us got that from all the leaves flying around and the pastel colours everywhere. that’s the point.

heartstopper is not a realistic portrayal of the world, it’s a portrayal of how the world SHOULD BE. in my personal completely subjective opinion, it is a how-to guide, if you will. it shows that if we’re all just act a little nicer, become a little kinder, we can make the world a better place. this queer joy can be real, if we try hard enough.

it made me feel this joy while being in my doomer homophobialand of a country, where i am technically a criminal for being bi, simply because it feels like a show that loves you. and if you have an issue with that, maybe the problem is you.

the idea that there can only be one queer person (+ an outside love interest) in tv shows/movies is so stupid and unrealistic

like besties,,,, we flock like ducks

if there’s one, there’s another ten

in the last seven years of my life (age 12-19) my best friend (at the time) came out and there was like a ripple effect, now i’m a lesbian and friends w more queer people than cishet people

i was gonna say i need a show with a Token Straight Friend™️ but that’s literally tao in heartstopper

Tori "My brother might be my best friend"/" Charlie is the only person I care about" Spring: *literally texts Nick when he will be back from vacation because she is worried about Charlie in Nick's absence*

Nick: "I don't know if Tori likes me"

Ngl, seeing David Tennant's face in the middle of Heartstopper tripped my brain for a hot minute

“Heartstopper is about love only.”

Heartstopper is not remotely about love only. The love it does discuss isn’t strictly romantic, either.

Heartstopper is about self-love. It’s about platonic love. It’s about mental health and self image and exploring your identity and finding your voice. It’s about being your own champion and holding your friends’ hands as they navigate their own journeys or face unique obstacles.

If that type of comment were just an opinion, I’d say it’s reductive. Based on what we actually see on our screens, it’s plain wrong.

i forgot / didn't realize that imogen and sahar were childhood friends, and when sahar disclosed that imogen was the reason that she knew she was bi in the first place, and i thought that it was during this scene that sahar figured that out

[all-too-unwell-13]

something about tara telling nick that he needs to take care of himself too is so special to me

Heartstopper S1E7

We've talked about the globe in Charlie's room being illuminated while he and Nick are drumming in S1E2 and how it lights up when Nick opens his eyes and sees Charlie in his prom suit in S2E8, but have we talked about it being lit up here when Charlie tells Tori that he and Nick are going out?

Sweets/Gifts

Sweets.

Sweets are such a difficult and different thing to Nick and Charlie than to everyone else.

If it's a pick'n'mix from Poundland or Wilko that they share, Oreo dairy milk bars that are bought on monthly anniversaries and shared, but they aren't a tradition; not at all.

Sweets were different and there's always a different message behind when they are brought.

Cotton floss bought at carnivals and eaten in excess; till teeth and gums are sore but feeling sick is nowhere at the front of a mind.

Love hearts on Valentine's Day, with kisses and cheesy renditions of messages on the chalky sweet tablets between them.

Lollies shared at lunches to the unhappiness of Tao at being made the third wheel again and again but they always manage to sneak a few drumstick lollies in, despite the amount of paper wrapper Nick is sure he's ingested.

Hard Sweets like humbugs on Christmas' or hard days, the minty flavor setting tones of helping Charlie focus away from the biting feeling in his stomach and saving biten insides of cheeks.

Sweets were different and while there was a time that they weren't shared, now?

They hold messages so close to both Nick and Charlie's hearts, it doesn't matter, it's their unspoken language they love to share with only each other.

End

Under every sweet mentioned:

Cotton floss - cotton candy

Love hearts - sweet hearts

Drumsticks - they are just a bitch to eat, the paper never comes of properly so you eat it so often I swear

Humbugs - these say toffee but I swear the toffee ones still taste like mint

Pick'n'mix - choose your sweets, they can have anything really
