finally watched heartstopper because one of the part time kids from when i worked at the bakery really wanted me to for the longest time and i was feeling sentimental. i don’t think i have ever wished so strongly to have had a piece of media as a teenager + have never felt so much gratitude that kids get to have it now
#‘it’s corny’ is such a lame and wilfully obtuse criticism#charlie and nick are 14 and 15 when it starts!!!! kids that age are more than allowed to be corny!!!!!#as the actors have said it’s an optimistic and idealized in some ways version of reality#but it’s so grounded in reality!!! especially from the viewpoint of the age group of the characters#I also think even in the brief beginning of charlie’s storyline with anorexia and self harm the portrayal is already so much healthier and#safer for a show geared towards an audience who statistically has mental health struggles more often#than 13 reasons why for example#i wish to god that show had never gotten made#also YEAH DUDE it’s so normal for 15 year olds to not drink or do drugs or even know where to get drugs#and to not be ready for sex!!!!!!!!!#also A REALISTIC PORTRAL OF LESBIAN TEENAGERS !!!! THAT IS SO CUTE AND SWEET#anyway im. looking into masters of information programs#thinking about being a librarian just has me emotional about recent censorship and book bans surrounding queer literature#really and truly breaks my heart that heart stopper the graphic novels are on those lists#heartstopper
