as a queer teen I’m so thankful that heartstopper exists because it speaks quite well to so many experiences that I’m currently living through but don’t get to see accurately represented on screen very often. Sure, there’s plenty of shows about high schoolers and their antics but rarely do they feel so honest, so real. I see Elle being anxious at her college orientation. I see her meeting new friends and finding community in a new place, and I go hey, I did that a few weeks ago. I see Nick experiencing intricacies of what it’s *actually* like to come out, not a one-and-done announcement to the world but a series of complicated conversations, an ongoing discovery of who you are as a person, and I go hey, I’m doing that right now. It’s so amazing and so refreshing.
