#idk i just love charlie and nick

[pumpkinspicepirates]

I just blitzed through the entirety of Heartstopper in 3 days.

I'm not usually one for coming-of-age teen dramas BUT this was the most beautiful, heartfelt, and inclusive show I've seen this year.

[narliee]

Nick has learnt so much about himself through Charlie, and he can be totally himself with Charlie, but when Charlie isn't there... is he okay? Who are his closest friends? Does he have anyone he can truly confide in that isn't Charlie? - Alice Oseman

[smile-files]

the alliance........ from left to right: baseball, suitcase, nickel, and balloon!

(i was trying to find a way to represent balloon's name and i came upon a lucky medium: given how he was a jerk in ii1 and nickel continued to see him as such, i imagine he'd just call him "bully" from then on, even after they became friends -- and it sounds like the word "balloon", no?)

“i’m bi, actually: stories featuring bisexual characters”

ok so you have a section inspired by nick nelson but heartstopper is only shown once you click ‘explore all’

heartstopper is a queer teen romance and the first season focuses a lot on one of the main characters coming to terms with his bisexuality

in season two when he starts coming out, he uses the term “i’m bi, actually” somewhat frequently

soooo netflix canada? why isn’t heartstopper the first show in your “i’m bi, actually” section? not just in the ‘explore all’ section?

[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.

yesterday i finally found time to finish watching heartstopper season 3 and, as always, i've adored it! tbh there were some changes from the webtoon that left me a bit speechless (such as the ferris wheel scene with tori and charlie), but it's okay i trust alice and know they've got more wonderful stuff to look forward to in the future season(s) ~

i don't think it's just me but this show sort of feels like a warm hug, even for people like me who aren't teenagers anymore and haven't come out of the closet yet...

i'll always cherish the stories and characters created by alice oseman! sadly they weren't part of my adolescence (i would have loved reading/watching heartstopper in my teenage years, it would have been so immensely helpful), but they're helping me now that i'm in my 20s to better accept myself, among other things 𔓘

hopefully n3tfl1x will renew the show for season 4 soon !!

[skateisawesome]

If u could be besties with any heartstopper character, who would it be?

YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME I AM FAR TO INDECISIVE

ALL OF THE PARIS SQUAD (plus like the teachers and elles friends and just all the good characters)

[leverage-ot3]

just realized today while rewatching heartstopper that I accidentally did a nick nelson when I was in 8-9th grade (agreeing to go out with someone bc you don’t know how to say no) and I’m fucking shook nick why are we like this

[mymoonboy]

[wqxianwriting]

Hey, I just saw that you only take gn!reader or male!reader for the poly nick and Charlie thingy. I made a request earlier today where I said I'd prefer female reader but I'd also take gn!reader if that's fine by you. You still don't have to write it, but I just wanted to say it.

Sorry, if I asked to much.

No worries! If you want F!Reader that is fine, it’s just the reader won’t have romantic feelings for Charlie :)

Do you still wanna change your request? Also lmao, I’m not sure I’ll be able to write it as a fanfiction per say… like it’ll be wrote into bullet points with a scenario written under it, if that makes sense.

It might switch between Reader and the dude’s pov too 🤔 I’ve decided to name him Aaron lol so for exmaple:

There were little things that caught Aaron’s attention and those little things may have been because of his fall. He couldn’t say, he didn’t even realize he had a thing for you until he walked in on you and Nick in the classroom. (Luckily not kissing, right? For him atleast)

His heart turned at the sigh of your eyes gleaming with affection as the blond spoke with very big animated movements, he didn’t like you laughing at it.

“And then I had to apologize because he was just trying to get his poor ol’ cane. I picked it up and helped him to a bench to rest but, till this day, I’m surprised why I thought he was trying to kidnap Nellie?” Nick’s raised arms now flop to his sides and he heaves a heavy sigh – ending his outrageous story with a question which makes you laugh harder.

“That poor old man… good for you for wanting to protect your dog though, no? Even old men can be so dearly scary.” You’re currently sitting on top of a table so you cross your legs and poke Nick with the tip of your shoe. He lightly slaps your leg away with an eyeroll.

“Thank you but were you mocking me at the end?”

“No, I could never, sweetheart.”

From his cheeks down to his neck, red tint dusts them and he looks away. Aaron did not like that. Especially the petname, if he wasn’t frowning before, he definitely is now. Plus you haven’t even noticed him standing here this whole time?

//

(Newsflash Aaron, she dgaf about you! just kidding)

That… isn’t necessarily a canon thing from the story I just came up with something silly on the spot aha. Let me know if the writing form is alright for you and if you wanna change the reader’s gender!

This’ll be written after I finish another request first but I already have some notes/ideas written down for it so it’ll be done in a jiffy I hope :,) Thank you for requesting!

can we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing charlie is as a boyfriend

idk why it's not discussed enough

reasons why charlie is the best boyfriend ever :

how he always made sure nick didn't feel pressured or obligated to come out

how he asked nick if he was feeling okay before coming out to anyone

he told nick that it was okay to find coming out difficult

how he was there for nick when he was stressed about his GCSEs

how he took it upon himself to tutor nick (ioNick coMPounDs)

how he stood up to harry

"i would fight anyone who's mean to you"

he was unbelievably patient for nick to figure out coming out to his friends and family to the point that he neglected his own well being to make sure nick felt protected and got everything perfect for him

"lets take the coach, you can rant about him the whole way there"

he made sure he was a safe place for nick to fall into

he made sure nick consented before being intimate with him

the way he made sure nick knew that he didn't have to have sex with him ever

he was the only person nick could show all his emotions to. the negative and the positive.

how he hugged nick after nick came out to his dad

All in all charlie is the most supportive, patient, soft, loving, wonderful, caring and UNDERAPPRECIATED boyfriend of all time

Being in a ‘V’ relationship with Nick and Charlie. (Pt2)

Pairing: Nick Nelson x F!reader. Charlie Spring x F!reader (Platonic).

Triggers: Poly 'V' relationship, talks about mental health, Fluff, talks of platonic and romantic relationships. Idk let me know if I've missed any :D.

Note: this relationship with Charlie is PLATONIC ONLY. I will only write Charlie as a gay man as that is what the characters sexual orientation is. Also this is based on season 2 in Paris bc season 2 has my heart forever and ever.

In a poly V relationship, there are three individuals involved: one person who is romantically or sexually involved with two others who are not directly involved with each other. (Source)

Request.

Nick takes on the role of the enthusiastic tour guide, excitedly leading you and Charlie around Paris. He wants to make sure both of you have the best time, and he balances his attention between the two of you. His joy is contagious, making you both laugh as he stumbles over French phrases and gets overly excited about everything from the Eiffel Tower to street crepes.

Charlie is more relaxed and takes in the beauty of Paris quietly, often letting Nick do most of the talking. He enjoys walking through the streets with you both, comfortable in the quiet moments as well as the louder ones. There’s something peaceful about being in a foreign city where he feels less pressure to fit in.

You love how Nick’s excitement contrasts with Charlie’s quiet appreciation. It creates a perfect balance as you explore the city together, and you often find yourself capturing candid photos of them both, smiling and enjoying the moment.

Nick makes sure to carve out special moments for you both. One evening, he takes you to a quiet café for a romantic dinner, just the two of you, where you share food and talk under the glow of string lights. Afterward, he brings you back to meet up with Charlie, who’s had some solo time, and the three of you sit by the Seine, laughing and watching the boats drift by.

Charlie and Nick have their own special moments too. One night, you suggest that they go for a late-night walk together, giving them time alone to connect and enjoy the beauty of Paris by night. You’re happy knowing they get to share that intimate time, and you later hear about how they talked about their future together, with Charlie feeling safe and loved by Nick.

Nick insists on visiting all the iconic landmarks, dragging both you and Charlie to the top of the Eiffel Tower, to the Louvre, and along the Champs-Élysées. Charlie is less interested in the touristy spots, but he goes along because he enjoys seeing Nick so happy. He occasionally rolls his eyes at how excited Nick gets but always does it with a small smile.

You enjoy the mix of iconic landmarks and quieter spots. On one particularly relaxing day, you and Charlie find a cozy bookshop to browse while Nick runs around snapping photos. It’s a perfect balance—Nick getting his high-energy sightseeing fix, while you and Charlie enjoy the quiet, intellectual side of the city.

One of the highlights of the trip is having a picnic in Jardin des Tuileries. Nick is in charge of gathering food, coming back with baguettes, cheese, pastries, and wine. The three of you spread out a blanket in the grass, enjoying the warm weather.

Charlie leans against Nick as the two of them share quiet, tender moments, while you soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the scenery. There’s no rush, just a calm day with the three of you enjoying each other's company.

You often catch Nick glancing at both you and Charlie with that loving smile, clearly happy to have you both by his side in such a romantic setting.

Nick is open and affectionate with both you and Charlie, holding hands with each of you at different times throughout the trip. When it’s just you and him, Nick is romantic and sweet, taking advantage of the Parisian setting to kiss you in front of famous landmarks or share quiet moments in hidden gardens.

Charlie, while more reserved, also appreciates these moments. Though he’s not romantically involved with you, he has developed a deep bond with you over the course of the trip. Sometimes, the three of you sit together in comfortable silence, Charlie leaning against Nick and you resting your head on Nick’s shoulder, enjoying the warmth of your closeness.

You and Charlie have formed a friendship that's based on mutual respect and understanding, and even though Charlie doesn’t show affection in the same way Nick does, he’s come to appreciate your presence in Nick’s life.

When the three of you explore crowded areas, like Montmartre or the Louvre, Nick naturally positions himself between you and Charlie, making sure neither of you gets lost in the crowd. He’s protective and attentive, always holding onto one of your hands or making sure Charlie feels comfortable.

Charlie hates crowds, and Nick is sensitive to this, often checking in to make sure he’s okay. When Charlie needs a breather, Nick will gently suggest finding a quieter spot, where you all can regroup and relax. You’re more than happy to follow their lead, as you’ve learned to read Charlie’s cues and support him when he needs space.

Nick tries so hard to speak French, but sometimes it goes hilariously wrong. He’ll attempt to order food or ask for directions, and while his enthusiasm is adorable, his grammar often leaves locals confused. Charlie, who’s secretly been learning French, occasionally steps in to help, though he finds Nick’s attempts endearing.

You love the way Nick’s attempts at French bring out a softer side of Charlie, who enjoys teasing Nick about his pronunciation but also appreciates how hard Nick tries. It’s a running joke throughout the trip, and you often join in on the fun, making Nick laugh at his own mistakes.

Nick loves trying new things, so he insists on sampling French cuisine, from escargot to crepes. Charlie, on the other hand, is a bit pickier, and you find yourself siding with him when Nick tries to get you both to eat something a little too adventurous.

One night, the three of you stumble across a small local concert. While Nick pulls Charlie into a dance, you watch, feeling warm inside at how well the dynamic works. Later, when the music slows, Nick pulls you in for a dance too, while Charlie sits back and enjoys watching his two favorite people in the world have fun.

When it’s just you and Nick, he’s completely focused on you, making sure you feel just as special as Charlie. The two of you spend some mornings wandering through Paris’s quieter streets, holding hands and stopping for croissants at small cafés. He’s attentive, making sure these moments feel intimate and romantic.

You often find yourself talking about how the relationship works, appreciating how open Nick is about balancing his feelings for you and Charlie. It reassures you that he’s fully committed to both relationships, and it deepens your bond.

As the trip comes to an end, Nick feels nostalgic, not wanting the magical time in Paris to end. You and Charlie both comfort him, assuring him that the memories you’ve made will stay with you forever.

The trip strengthens all of your bonds. You leave Paris feeling more connected to Nick, knowing that while he shares something unique with Charlie, the relationship you have with him is equally as important.

one thing about season 2 that i loved was imogen’s unintentional ignorance abt queerness bc she wasn’t vilified for not fully being able to understand what her friends were going through. personally, in my life i’m surrounded by people who are super accepting of queerness but not all of them are queer themselves, and i felt like it was a simultaneously funny and heartwarming representation of those friends and family members. like, you don’t necessarily have to always say the right thing for people to feel supported by you, as long as they know you’re trying and wanting to relate.

i.e. the scene w nick, charlie, and imogen after she yells at ben, when she’s like “everything would be so much easier if i was just into girls!” and they’re like “umm… not exactly but i get what you mean!”, and when she just assumes sahar is straight when she’s actually bi!! very funny but i feel like it also clearly comes from a place of love and support for her queer friends and wanting to relate to them which i thought was sweet. also when she hugs nick after he comes out to her and she says “i don’t really know how i’m supposed to react”… i just loved that moment and her admitting that felt so sweet and honest and realistic.

idk i’m just rambling and i also know that they hinted at her having a crush on sahar at the end but for most of the season she did function as the token straight friend and i really loved how they wrote her character in that way!!

[expectopatronum18]

Lyk i love seeing them on screen but if i'm being real i'd find them annoying if i was in school with them coz they'd be tht one friend group who r only just obsessed with their significant others and who hv nothing much going on outside tht, and i'd personally think they need to get a freaking life already lol

Although elle is an exception to this so i love her so much, I d actually love to watch some sort of spinoff series about her life and experiences in Lambert over this series

ok i'm literally gonna get cancelled for this....but i'm getting a tad bit annoyed and exasperated with the new heartstopper season (i've only watched 1.5 episodes n this is already the case lol) coz it's soo....sappy. Which is not to say i'm not giggling and squealing at it but idk, it just feels wayyy too much. I love tht the characters r able to openly share how they feel abt each other, i really do, and yes its really cute and all, and idk wht i was expecting from a romantic teen drama named 'heartstopper', but i do wish they'd put more of an effort into exploring these characters outside their relationships and not just issues in the relationship or how they deal with personal stuff with their bf/gf....lyk i feel lyk we barely know anything abt these characters apart from having a vague idea of their aesthetic and a couple other things. Especially coz i am the same age as the cast, so i personally want to see them exploring themselves as individuals a little more instead of it almost always involving their relationships. Tho ofc this isn't limited to this series, ig thts just my issue with most of the romance genre in general
