Can we start a petition for a Polin spin-off? Please? Please? Please? Pretty please?
I loved them since s1 but I watched s3 part1 not knowing what to expect. And O. M. G!!! I loved those two babies so much that I started reading the books. When I got to the epilogue of the first book and I read the spoiler about them, I skipped the following books and went straight to theirs. Lol
I’m so in love with their love, and Luke and Nicola are doing an AMAZING job!❤️
Anon! Where do I sign??? Let me sign!!! Honestly at this point I’d watch their entire lives unfold in front of me and it still wouldn’t feel like enough 😂
And yes they’re so infectious and lovable and Luke and Nicola are doing such a fantastic job (they care sooo much)! We are lucky it’s them. I couldn’t imagine anyone else as our beloved Colin and Penelope.
I think there’s a lot of people actually who liked them in season 1 but fell for Polin the way Colin fell for Penelope during this season. I remember I almost gave up watching season 1 cause I didn’t like the show. But then it was such a global phenomenon I decided to give it another go. When that happens my brain tries desperately to find something to hold on to and to root for. And it was these two idiots and bffs in a corner. I didn’t know anything about Bridgerton but I was rooting for them. Season 2 got me more invested, Queen Charlotte got me saying I’m a fan, then all the hype around season 3 got me reviving my tumblr (and I tried really hard to resist at first 😂). And overall I think for a lot of people it was the hype and the PR around Polin that made a world of a difference. And we owe Luke and Nic a lot for working so hard to make this season extra special for us ❤️

I’m rewatching Heartstopper because I literally cannot wait until October 3rd and I need more of this show pumped directly into my veins. It comes out two days after my seventeenth birthday, which is kinda exciting. But I digress.
I literally watched the whole first season today, which is quite impressive considering I actually did a lot of other things and didn’t start watching it until about two in the afternoon. And I finished it at like 10 pm, so it’s not like I stayed up super late to finish it either.
Rewatching this show I was giggling and kicking my feet and also yelling at the screen because sometimes the characters make kinda dumb choices and even though I already know how everything ends I still get way too invested. I just love this show so much, it’s such a comfort show for me.
My friend got me into the graphic novels right after season one released on Netflix, and after reading the whole series in two days (at the time there were four books, and soon after I found the WEBTOON and sped through that as well), I binged the entire show that day.
Heartstopper is such a pure show, and it just shows that representation is so important. I’ve heard so many stories of people realizing their sexuality (ME!) or finding the courage to come out to their parents or their friends or at school, and I think there’s just something so magical about this show.
Minor spoiler here, but Issac’s arc in season two was one of the things that kinda helped me realize that I was aroace because when I was watching the show and watching how he interacted with James and romance it made me think “huh, that’s kinda how I feel” and then I did some research (mostly comprised of scrolling the aromantic and asexual tags on tumblr, but a bit of googling as well) and realized that I’m aroace. So this show, that I already absolutely adored, suddenly became the catalyst for realizing my sexuality, and it just has such a special place in my heart. Whenever I’m sad I always rewatch the show or reread parts of the WEBTOON because it never fails to make me smile. To give me hope that there are others out there who are like me, even though all of my friends are straight and cis. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, I love my friends, and they were all very supportive when I came out to them, but they just don’t understand sometimes. They don’t really understand what it’s like to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. To be different. It’s not like I’m out publicly, only a few of my close friends know, but it’s still hard sometimes not having anyone to talk to about all this (besides all my wonderful aspec moots of course). My irl friends just don’t understand that sometimes I feel broken, or like there’s something wrong with me. Because, even though I’m very comfortable with my sexuality, I’m in high school, and romance and sex are such a big thing, and it can sometimes be a little overwhelming or isolating when you don’t feel those forms of attraction. Especially when two of your best friends have boyfriends. And I’m very happy for them, but sometimes it stings a little knowing that I can never have that. Obviously queer platonic relationships exist, and that’s definitely something that I want for myself in the future, but it’s just different.
My mom watched the first season with me after I wouldn’t shut up about it, and then again when season two came out we watched it together (it was like my third watch through both times lol). Once season three comes out, and we see more of Issac’s arc of self discovery and figuring out his sexuality, I might end up using it as a bit of a starting point to come out to her, but I don’t know. I know that she and my dad are very supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community, but it’s just so different and scary. Any advice?
P. S. I did not mean to write this much, if you read this whole post, thank you. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read about my ramblings.

THE RAISING OF DEAN WINCHESTER
JOHN 11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” 17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
35 Jesus wept.
*re-upload because i deleted my old blog* (transcript under the cut)
Beneath the ground of Bethany
Of which Martha and Mary cried
My shell of self lies quiet there
But no spirit does reside
Next to murals fresh with blood
On a floor of broken bone
They grind me up and carve me out
'Til back together I am sewn
Crude tools that once broke me
Are passed back handle first
For 40 years I knew myself
Until I met my worst
For my horror is their horror
It was known from the start
Breaking me means breaking them
Until we all have played our part
Radiance burned my shoulder
I was remade flesh once more
Out of the ground of Bethany
I crawled up to your door
Oh angel that did save me,
I shall not say with glee:
"I am Lazarus, I have risen!"
When Christ did not weep for me
