this.... this right here...

real as fuck!

I lied. Put your clothes back on. We’re gonna talk about Solitaire by Alice Oseman and how Lucas only liked the idea of Tori and was convinced he was in love with her while Michael actually fell love with Tori because of who she really was.

Don't write off negative emotiona as being a teenager. Don't say it's hormones and shrug it off. Pay attention!

Before it's to late.

Most of the time adults rationalize themselves not helping teenagers during their depression as them 'being hormonal'or 'jsut being a teenager' and it's jsut accepted. It shouldn't. It's a shitty fuckign excuse that makes no sense. If you see your teen is struggling help even if you think it's them jsut being a teen or hormonal they still need help. You helping them in these small moments stops most of thenhig moments like depression and suicide.

A big thing about solitare and even heartstopper is how the people around us IGNORE issues for the dumbest reasons and then blame the people who are mentally well for not getting help immediately. How could we get help when you just say it's hormones or us being teenagers.

Tori's father saying she needs to try. SHE NEEDS HELP.

Toris friend acknowledging and telling her she's getting worse. Then also not helping and distancing themselves from her.

Michael holden being seen as a freak in school yet no one inquiries why he is like this way the teacher scolding him for not getting good grades instead of trying to help and understand!

Aled and tori are examples of WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU DOTN HELP. HELP FOR FUCK SAKE. IT IS NEVER JSUT BEING A TEENAGER. ITS NEVER JSUT HORMONES. WE ARE FULL OF EMOTIONS AND WE NEED HELP LEARNING HOW TO SAFELY RESIDE IN THEM.

Toris attempt could've been stopped. Aled could've gotten better quicker. Michael could have made friends sooner. So many peoples struggles could have been helped. Could have been saved.

Patience kills. Ignorance kills.

Paying attention is love.

No because I want a 2 hour long solitaire movie. Like I want white breath coming out from mouths and freezing hands and snow absolutely everywhere and Michael Holden on his bike and him saying that he doesn't like his name either as he and Tori walk home from the pub with snowrain falling onto the pavement and stars and streetlamps above. I want Michael Holden asking why they can't be friends infront of Tori's house, dead lilacs in the garden, uneven stonewalk up through the frosty grass. I want freezing hands and snowy boots and thick winter coats and Becky's purple hair and a arm around Tori's shoulder and "Oh my god Tori you look like you want to kill yourself". Need the yellow cat sitting on a chair infront of Tori and Tori having intense eye contact in school, Tori scrolling on her phone and getting weird asks on her blog ("why do people leave newspapers on the bus?"). It's winter and cold and absolutely fucking terrible and I want Michael and Tori baking chocolate cake and jamming music in that thriftshop and just living. Need Tori going as Wednseday Addams to Becky's party and nobody really understanding who she is and I need Michael putting on beauty and the beast and them half-sleeping beside eachother and I want the dread to really fill up the scene when Becky tells Tori how she has had sex and isn't a virgin anymore. I want a 2 hour long Solitaire movie and I want it raw because holy fuck that's how it is being 16

Probably a good call Michael.

Tori, learning how to drive: What happens if I press the gas and the brake at the same time?

Tao: The car takes a screenshot.

Michael: Please pull over. I’m driving now.

TORI SPRING: SOLITAIRE

"I think you should know that I make up a lot of stuff in my head and then get sad about it." Tori Spring, played by Jenny Walser

there he is

[jonathanbyersphd]

And then my soul saw you and it kind of went, "Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you.”

[sprnklersplashes]

what people think alice oseman books are like: blushing awkward first meetings, little chaste first kisses, giggling teenage boys holding hands what alice oseman books are actually like: hey what if your entire personality is actually a carefully constructed facade to make other people like you and to disguise the fact that you don't actually know who you are. if you stripped away all the walls, all the artificial things that you think make you up, what would be left? what would happen if you stopped living for other people and started living for yourself? is there even a person in there or just a gaping void with nothing left in it? wouldn't that be fucked up? do you even know yourself? do you even have a real personality anymore?

You can’t win against the Spring siblings at Scrabble, mate.

Michael: We’re playing Scrabble. It’s a nightmare.

Tori: Scrabble? Scrabble’s great.

Michael: Not when you’re playing with Charlie, it’s not. They put words like “ephemeral” and I put “dog.”
