#like ok ik this doesn't exactly describe the pick me situation

[bepki]

It is crazy how discussions about "internalized misogyny" still always center around "not like other girls" girls who resent being ostracized by more gender-conforming or more "successfully" gender conforming girls and never around the misogyny of girls/women who do the policing of other women/girls' gender conformity

Heartstopper s2 ep7

tara is a swiftie confirmed and she's a folklore girlie !!! immaculate taste, folklore is my favorite too

nick really has a lot of photos of charlie on his camara roll, cute

ELLE GOT INTO LAMBERT SCHOOL SO HAPPY FOR HER

and she gets to have her application piece featured in an exhibition?? she's so cool and talented fr

TAO DANCING !! WE GET MORE TAO DANCING IN THIS SEASON !!!

and him telling his mom about him and elle eeeee !! his mom is so supportive and so happy for them it's so cute !! she's the biggest tao and elle shipper out there

and when tao picks his mom up in a hug?? adorable

CHARLIE AND TORI PLAYING MARIO KART !! THE SPRING SIBLINGS TRADITION

damn isaac being alone behind all of his friends as couples :')

also am i imagining it or did he look like he was rolling his eyes when darcy made the comment about kissing?

people watching by conan gray is playing in the background !! i love that song. this really is The Best soundtrack

SHUT UP BEN

aaw everyone gathering up money to help darcy afford the suit is so cute

LOVELESS IS IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE ISAAC IS SHARING HIS AROACE FEELINGS

"i think there might be something wrong with me" NO NO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, I PROMISE

"there's nothing wrong with you" YES CORRECT

i have no words to describe how important and special it is to see this kind of authentic representation of aromantic and asexual experiences on a mainstream show. it may be only a subplot but it's so so important bc there is nothing like this is in mainstream yet. and this is so real and authentic and it has the power to help so many people!

"you probably just haven't found the right person yet" NOOO JAMES WRONG ANSWER!! WRONG ANSWER 😭 (ik he means well but that's so not what he should say in this situation)

props for them for communicating tho

ELLE LOOKS SO PRETTY SHE LOOKS LIKE A PRINCESS

MORE CONAN GRAY!! AAHH IT'S "CRUSH CULTURE" PLAYING WHILE ISAAC IS HAVING HIS AROACE REALIZATION/ACCEPTANCE MOMENT THIS IS SO PERFECT

"being in a world where romance and sex are prized above everything else when you don't feel those forms of attraction. growing up feeling like something about you is different but you don't have the words to describe what that is. but then, freedom. the euphoria of freeing yourself from those pressures and expectations" AAAH THIS IS SO PERFECT AND SPECIAL AND MEANINGFUL AND REAL

you can trust i will be making a post only about isaac's aroace journey and this speech later bc i have Thoughts™

grrrrrr i don't like darcy's mom at all

ok but wtf is going on between sahar and imogen???

aaw elle's piece is elle, tao, charlie and isaac at the truham art room 🥹

elle and tao 🥺 <3

IS BEN ACTUALLY GOING TO APOLOGIZE??

well ig he did apologize but that wasn't great. he's definitely still an asshole

YES CHARLIE TELL HIM

"i didn't realize you had all the control. when i eventually did realize i thought "this must be what i deserve." [...] and now when anything good happens in my life, there's a little voice in the back of my mind telling me i'm worthless and i don't deserve it" charlie didn't deserve any of this :(

"i'm glad you realized what you did was wrong but you don't get to ambush me into forgiving you. sorry doesn't make up for everything you did to me" YEAH EXACTLY

the rainbow wave (representing queer self-acceptance i assume) almost reaching ben but him running away before it touches him---

THEY INCLUDED CHARLIE CALLING NICK MATE PAL BRO LMAOO

david stop being an absolute jerk for once in your life challenge

"don't you dare" YES TORI

"if you don't care then i don't care either" i feel so bad for nick :( but i'm proud of him for telling his father off, he deserves it

YES TELL DAVID OFF TOO

"he's not a very good dad, is he?" NO HE ABSOLUTELY ISN'T

"you're a pathetic little man" YES BEST SCENE YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH JOY IT BRINGS ME TO SEE TORI RIP DAVID TO PIECES LIKE THAT

charlie's eating disorder plot is starting yall 😭

DARCY'S MOM IS THE WORST GOD I HATE HER ALREADY
