honestly i think it’s so gross how many adults i have seen on this app upset that heartstopper is a show rather mild in its sexual content. it’s a show that’s target audience is young queer people….about young queer people……played by young queer people. the show is not “anti-sex” at all, if you actually watched the show charlie and nick discuss that they WANT to do more, that they want to “go further” some day. charlie has a boat load of trauma (including trauma about having his physical boundaries ignored) however and nick is still processing his sexuality, so why are you pushing for them to be intimate?? i’ve known people who have dated for years and didn’t actually have sex until they were adults and mature enough to do so.
viewing this show as a adult woman i find it honestly disturbing that there is this fixation on the necessity of sexual content including children. because that is who these characters are. children.
the show does not bash sex (uhh the teachers very clearly banged??), it merely advises against forcing yourself to be sexual before you are ready. the queer community has always been demonized as a “hypersexual” group of people, but that is merely a label forced upon us. heartstopper is the one of the only queer pieces of media that defies this expectation, and tells queer kids everywhere that it’s ok to take your time, and that sex is not the end all be all.
"i wanna be a figure skater. no i wanna be an engineer. you know what, i should do archery. how about owning a small cafe... or a shop... or a bakery. wait a min, I should write a novel. or run for president..."
I don't know about everyone else but I've been getting kind of overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content I have to be excited about this year- definitely a good problem to have. I've compiled a chronological list with all the things to watch out for throughout the rest of this year.

Anyways hopefully this helps. It'll help me at least!
just a not so gentle reminder to our fandom in regards to the strikes. strikes are meant to be inconvenient and cause disruption.
we will very likely be having little to no press content for season 2. there will be less content in general in the run up and after the season comes out. it may also significantly or even permanently delay season 3. none of this matters
what matters is that real people are striking for their rights and reasonable wages. the vast majority of actors are not the ultra wealthy A listers you know of. they are working class people struggling to make ends meet and they deserve our support and solidarity ✊
The pipeline of watch good omens —-> want more content —> watch OFMD —> heartbroken —> it’s okay GO season 2 will fix me —> heartbroken part two —> it’s okay OFMD season two should fix me —> fuck it I’m gonna watch RWRB till I’m not sad anymore, is very real to me
Heartstopper S3 is so close now, and that means promo is even closer, and tons of content is coming, and then the show, and new feelings and reactions and gifs and memes and parallels and and and
