The next morning it was Saturday, and Emmett got straight on the phone to the builders. He wanted to at least expand the downstairs bathroom so that they had two full bathrooms between the six of them so the builders were commissioned to come in and do that for them. Then he got on with some household chores, still in his robe and bunny slippers.

A short while later, Sapphire was off to work. She was so excited to be getting back to it, and confident leaving all her kids in the loving care of Emmett. Have fun at work, Sapphire!

Food Fight! Heartbreak High: S2E7 The Grapes of Voss

[lansangprincess]

guys what if hbh season 3 was a summer break season that could be really fun. or would that totally defeat the purpose of being a show set in a high school. hsmtmts did that tho. what if hartley high was the friends we made along the way 🥺✨

Some Positives of Heartbreak High S2 + Hopes for Possible S3

The camping episode was the best-group coming together for chaotic and hilarious moments ever-the high crawl, Malakai hallucinating, Ant + tree, Darren's mocking of Rowan

Amerie's abortion-was portrayed in a way I don't think is seen often, and wasn't what I was expecting when she was late

Quinni's storyline-She had some powerful lines; I loved her owning her truth and being a bad b*tch when ignoring Darren and friends, because she was in the right.

I want to see more of Quinni's self discovery journey.

I'd like to explore more with Darren and Cash. I do think it's great to see 2 characters who are less visible in media be in a full-on relationship; I like both of those characters individually though I'd have liked to explore more in depth the context of how their relationship works, regardless of whether they stay together or not.

I like that they showed Malakai explore his bisexuality.

Malakai come home! Or at least do a time jump to show Amerie and Malakai reuniting. They're gonna be that deep-seated "what could've been" type love, I can feel it; they've been through so much now; I think they need to grow, but a lot has shaped them while they were involved with each other that I think they are gonna have a tough time moving on from it when it's all unfinished business.

It doesn't have to be a diversity tick, but can they have more queer couples? It did feel lacking in some way after last season. If they never added more queer ships outside of what we had, hypothetically it would be fine, but we've missed some pieces and development as the show's progressed (we've only heard abt some couples from the map; also what is Ant's sexuality?)

the Cash and Harper scenes; I liked that Harper didn't blame Cash, but also didn't try to make him feel better about the situation (that was a good scene).

They actually shocked me with Bird Psycho; they had me until the 2nd half of the szn, which seems uncommon now in shows so props there and the extra twist was a good one.

More parents-it felt lacking this season

Another theme-type/campy episode-they showed a few different elements with this in this season, but I'd like to see another whole focussed episode like the camping; like some wildly out there event or special day that's mandated

Wondering what will happen with school now that theirs burned to the ground...Kind of want them all split up at the beginning of the szn for like an episode-see how that changes them & doing their own thing

[betafreud]

finally getting around to watching heartbreak high season two and i swear to god if rowan ends up being "bird psycho" i will crash out. let malakai have a pure, stress-free romance for ONCE. PLEASE. dont let my boy be evil.

[moon0fairy]

Finished 2x05 of heartbreak high and oh boy stuff went down (contains spoilers!!):

I kinda expected the identity of bird psycho but also didn‘t want it to be true. He was kinda acting sus during the camping trip and something about his mannerisms, the way he looked made me suspicious

On reason why I threw away that thought is because I couldn‘t think of a motive since he‘s the new kid but I‘ll guess why‘ll find out soon

Poor Malakai tho, he deserves someone who truly likes him :( I can‘t tell if I still like Amerie x Malakai because she‘s done some not so nice stuff but let‘s see

Amerie listing out to Malakai what he‘s done wrong in a frog costume and a flute was hilarious

Poor Quinni, I totally get it tho :( She was so focused on her detective work and then suddenly it all collapsed. I also panic when my friends have so much stuff going on and I feel left out. I‘m just glad we got such great autism representation

Darren, Cash and Harper sounds like the most chaotic living situation ever (I feel like Cash would do all the household chores and being stressed out)

Kinda need more Darren and Cash scenes, I‘m glad they‘re communicating more ( minus Cash not telling Darren about the whole Chook thing, which also understandable)

Interesting that we get a Spider redemption arc and yeah, after seeing his living situation, I can understand why he behaves like that (what Missy said). I hope he learns that he doesn‘t have to be such a shitty person

Also MISSY IS SO GORGEOUS I HAVE A FAT CRUSH ON HER (Spider you better treat her right)

(unrelated but in the background-- MISSY AND MALAKAI!!! they were building up a relationship between them in s1 and how she and her brother (i think?

when i said i wanted more missy i didnt expect this

spider seems to be into tho maybe what ??1/1/111.1/?!??!/1/1/1

missy x spider was NOT on my bingo card

WHEN MISSY SAID SHE WAS STARTING TO LIKE WHITE BOYS I DIDNT THINK SHE MEANT THIS.

BUUTTTttttt-- i. am. down. for. it... somehow. frankly, spider needs someone to put him in his place and low and behold, missy seems to be the student to do so..........

hey. if they're both happy with their...chicken dumbells, i am too.

amerie dont be alarmed but there's a white boy to your right

in other news this love triangle scares the diarrhea out of me

look at them. they're the perfect couple (malakai x amerie 4life) and rowan is--

well he's a nice boy but cmon

LOOK AGAIN IM DOWN FOR THEM TO BE HAPPY BUTT when it comes in between THE BEST SHIP IN THE SHOW (looks at amerie x spider shippers with affectionate disdain) i draw the line.

but who knows? rowan seems nice enough, and if he's able to make amerie happy, let them have each other! <3

also knowing malakai's track record i wouldn't put it past him to get freaky with rowan too (threesome attempt 2??? actually no wait thats a horrible idea NEVERMIND [gets s1 ep4 flashbacks])

also also "classic love triangle" scene gives major "erm...well this is akward!" vibes from ams (we stan cringey amerie in this household tho)

and well. shart. max limit of 30 photos. oh well-- ill make a second part! tune in for the update heartbreak highers :3

With nowhere else to sleep right now, Phoenix's toddler bed was swapped out for a child bed in his parents' bedroom.

Emmett made a mental note to commission a bunk bed from Oscar sooner rather than later so that he didn't have to share a room with his youngest child for too long!

TV SHOW REVIEW: Heartbreak High - Season 2

★★★★★ - 5 stars

"My name is Spider and my bro-nouns are dude, mate and bruh."

The students of Hartley High return in an unwaveringly chaotic and entertaining sequence of events for the second season of Heartbreak High. The season centres around a school captaincy election between Amerie, Spider and Asher, and the mystery of Bird Pyscho who wants to ruin Amerie's life.

Heartbreak High deals with a lot of arduous topics including trauma, abortion, questioning sexuality and sexism. While all of these subjects are presented with meticulous care, all are still discussed in Heartbreak High's typical humorous tone. This creates some brilliant moments for a range of characters, which are exceptionally performed by the outstanding cast.

It also contends with the important discussion of the impact of masking upon neurodivergent people through the character of Quinni, played remarkably by Chloe Hayden. It questions why autistic and other neurodivergent people are forced to live by the standards of a neurotypical society. Simultaneously, it showcases how this can be detrimental to the mental health of people and can lead to a loss of identity. While this part of Quinni's storyline was definitely not showcased enough within the show, it is still an extremely important conversation that needs to be discussed.

Love, crushes and romance are a core part of teenage life, and in turn, of the show. While romances from the original season return and are put through their own turmoil, such as Ca$h and Darren, and Malakai and Amerie, new relationships that are equally as interesting and important are shown. Heartbreak High displays romance storylines that span different sexualities and genders, highlighting the idea that love is love. They show how love can come in different forms, especially through Ca$h's storyline of trying to learn how to balance and come to terms with the impact his asexuality has on his relationship. This is an extremely important storyline in a world that normalises sexual relationships. Through the romance storylines, Heartbreak High depicts how love fluctuates and sexuality is complex, both of which are very important lessons for the, primarily teenage, audience.

Heartbreak High's second season is undoubtedly as hilarious and powerful as its first and a must watch for all Gen Z audiences.

pls reblog im trying to see something 🫶

[sageandred]

Some minor things I'm thinking about/predictions for season 3~

-some more (pretty unedited) things I think could happen + predictions I don't necessarily hope to happen; + talking out some frustrations I personally had (if u don't want to read anything partially negative)

Missy & Amerie friendship. It would be good to expand to some less visited friendships. We got a hint of Amerie & Missy once again and I could see them talking even more nxt szn.

Sasha and Quinni are going to be working together nxt szn, and I can already see how the writers might try to rekindle something, but I don't want that, obviously. I could see them making Sasha develop feelings again only for Quinni to turn her down or it could be an opportunity for Sasha to actually apologize after some reflection as they continue to go their separate ways romantically.

Ant has to find out Harper also made the map, right? (that's the direction it's heading in??)

I don't care either way, but if Rowan wasn't just a 1 season and done type of character, I could see them trying to explore a mental health storyline, and separate from that make him more likeable/building friendships with anyone but Amerie.

Critiques of the Season/What I Hope Going Forward

They really missed some opportunities with Harper. It's totally valid for 2 childhood besties to grow apart in some ways and come back with an even greater and more mature connection. Instead, they just had Darren and Quinni adopt her into the group when I wish they would've spent a season of her developing her own friendships and building up her relationships that will be beneficial going forward.

which brings me to my points: I want Harper and Amerie to spend some time apart next season. I don't want it to be dramatic and I don't want them to have a fallout. They can actually be friends without being attached at the hip, but I don't want the s1 trio to be disrupted when I think that relationship is very special (sorry if this sounds harsh), and feels more organic than Harper's outside of the one that's developing with Cash.

Speaking of relationships: Ant & Harper feels underdeveloped to me. They could be a great couple. I wish they spent more time this season giving them individual arcs, but I think next season they kind of need to go through something dramatic to have the kind of break-through I'm wanting from their characters. They're kind of boring to me rn (I'm so sorry Harthony fans). They could end up together or not; I'm just not sold on their story yet.

New couples-I like the development stage of new couples/couples you don't expect. Give Quinni a gf, ofc. Switch up some of the dynamics. Relationships can be a means to another end, and it doesn't have to = the previous being bad. I don't want a love triangle, though; let them grow without the drama.

They could show the journey of Missy dealing with a toxic man, or they could show Spider/Missy grow together (I really don't care); I just want development for both of them individually and their own separate arcs regardless (especially Missy-he did have his own large arc this season). I actually think it would be cool to show the slow effects of how things add up and trauma causing some unhealthy behaviors with Spider (it doesn't have to make him bad; he's like 18 and anyone could grow from a failed high school relationship/become a really great person, but I just don't feel awe when I see their scenes...personally).

I didn't add this point with them on my other post, but I kind of want Darren and Cash to each have new romances/flings. I know there is love there, but I think they need to find themselves independent of one another. Their relationship very much feels like they grew up together and prematurely decided they belong together what with Cash's long secret crush (which is fine, but..); it is absolutely cute, though their incompatibility and continuous communication problems need to be explored/they need to mature.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Heather thought it would take the edge off, but it only made her drunk. There was so much blood. It took her some time to wash it off her skin, and even then, she thought she could see flecks of red. And the smell. That sour smell. It wouldn’t go away. She had to drown it out in soap and perfume, artificial sweetness that did nothing to soothe her, and it filled her head even then.

Callaghan’s head was caved wide open. He was motionless on the bathroom floor. She almost thought he would get up. You've made your point. You can get up, professor. But he was dead. 

It wasn't right. He hadn't deserved to die. But what made her so certain of that? It was Callaghan that taught her these things, the weight of a shovel, the dirt in the darkness when everyone else was asleep.

Eventually, she gathered five or six samples she had of the parasite, sustained inside vials of blood, and she injected him with each one. But it had never worked before, and it didn’t work now. For a brief moment he moved, actually moved, then rigor mortis set in again and cast him into stillness. He was dead either way. His soul was gone. The way his clouded eye darted towards her was nothing more than the twitching of dead meat. Neurons and chemicals misfiring out of time. Useless muscle memory. Those habits the body never forgot.

She had to get rid of his remains. Nobody had noticed him missing yet, but they would soon. She wanted to shake him by the shoulders. Wake up, professor. Maybe Jackie had ruined her perception of things. His immortality gave her false confidence, that the blow wouldn’t be fatal, that the professor wouldn’t be shaken by something as insignificant as a pipe. Of all things. Not even a blade. Not even a bullet.

She hadn’t meant to kill him. She… she wasn’t trying to… She didn’t want this! She wanted Callaghan back, not a dead body. She wanted…

I’m going to hell. She kept pacing outside the bathroom door. There was a knot in her throat and a twisting feeling in her stomach. They would kill her for this. At least God’s judgment was before Him alone. There was dignity in that, in fire and brimstone. There wasn’t any dignity in an execution. 

She did not want to die. But that was not her choice to make. The clock ticked despite her reservations, and fortune’s wheel spun all the same. There was only one thing left to do.

She gathered peroxide powder, a bucket of water, and bleach soaked in a rag. She could leave him in the river. No, someone would find him this time of year, when the current ran freely. They’d start asking questions. She would burn him. Or bury him. Either way, she needed to dispose of the evidence soon. In a few days, Callaghan wouldn’t look like a person at all. Just rotting meat. 

His remains she butchered and left in a black bag, which she kept in the freezer. The bathroom was spotless. Heather began drinking straight from the bottle. She was too drunk to carry a glass—she had shattered two already. There was no real reason to be upset. Callaghan had been an obstacle she had gotten over. His interference would have brought all her work to failure. And Jackie had been broken down, haltered and muzzled. There was nothing else to worry about. 

She had been so careless. Callaghan had been so kind, all throughout her life. When her father died, he consoled her.

It was too painful to remember. She gripped the handle of the silver knife tightly, a familiar surface under her palm. She was only human. Only an animal without any claws. Anger was all she had, sharp teeth, bursting open in her heart. There was nothing she could do. She could reason all she wanted, but a corpse wouldn’t listen to reason. 

Jackie was still upstairs in her bedroom, she realized. It had been many hours since she had last seen him.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • 

He was still reading, now on the bed. He put the book down quickly. She was too drunk to even discern the title. “Heather?”

She shut the door. He flinched when it banged against the frame. 

“Why are you still here?” she asked.

He didn’t have anything to say to that. She approached him. He watched mutely as she grasped his neck.

“I—I’m sorry,” he said at last, as if the words had finally come unstuck. He clutched her arm, clearly trying to remain calm.

“You still refuse to die.” She pulled him closer and began squeezing his throat. “Do you really want to stay here?”

He could not answer. He was coughing, hacking, sputtering. His eyes were watering. His grip on her arm became tighter. 

Instinct took over him, and he began trying to push her away, kicking uselessly against the fabric of the bed, his body shuddering unconsciously. She could feel the sluggish pressure of his blood under her hand.

“That’s what I thought.” Heather released him. “I knew you couldn’t stand me. Little cockroach.”

He gasped and rubbed his throat. His features were hard to make out, strangely blurry.

She stepped closer. Closer, until she was on the bed, on top of him. Jackie didn’t move at all, though it was clear he wanted to.

He stared at the knife in her hand. “Heather? What…?”

She lifted it high above him.

His wary hesitation ignited, and he attempted to flee. He tried to dart away, scrambling from under her. He succeeded in making it off the bed, at least, but not before she could catch his wrist, pushing him off his balance.

Like that he fell, his limbs caught in unnatural positions against the floor. He winced as his head hit the ground. His heart was beating so fast—she could almost hear it. She could taste the force of his pulse, beating against her hold as she pinned him down and drew back the knife.

The blade came down. She ripped through him, right below his ribcage, where the skin was soft and yielding.

He screamed, his voice cracking, trailing off into soft gasps. He struggled, though she held him still. It was easy to pin him to the ground. He kept sobbing, but sounds were liquid, hazy, hard to focus on, and it was easy to just ignore them. His insides were as warm as she remembered. His intestines pooled around her knees. But he was alive, even when his cries became weak whimpers, and his stare became a glazed blur, reflecting the light like oil. Like twin stars. 

She lifted the knife to his cheek. A wound split open from the skin, a thin slit of a cut. His chest heaved against her arm. Her hand brushed against it. He made some half-choked noise, tried to lean away. She cut further into the wound, carving into the side of his face. His tears stained her palm. Inside the cut she could feel bone, or perhaps his teeth.

He stopped moving. This was closer than anybody would ever touch him, she thought. This was something that only she knew. Something that only she had seen. She leaned forwards, held his head in her hands, and kissed him. He didn’t flinch away from the contact anymore. She could taste the salt on his lips. Tears smeared on her cheeks, wet, cold on his flushed face.

When Heather let go of his body, he didn’t get up. So she dragged him to the closet. She propped him up there. There was a red stain behind them, smeared on the white rug. 

She stepped back, putting her weight against the closet’s frame.

“Please.” How he found the strength to speak, she could not imagine. The words came stilted and breathless. Blood bubbled and dripped down his open cheek, clogging his voice as his jaw moved. His hand clutched the wound in his stomach, over his intestines. “I’ll b—behave. I—I’ll do anything, I promise. Don’t leave m—me here.”

The blood was pooling steadily around him, staining his clothes and his boots. Her hands were red again. There were bits of flesh under her nails. And the smell. Sour, slick like rot. Copper and rust and metal, the cloying sweetness of decay.

She shut the closet door and locked it. 

“Heather? Heather!” Only a second passed before he started banging on it. “Please don’t do this. Please, let me out. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Just let me out. I d—don’t… please, I don’t...” 

His voice faltered and became quiet as he, finally, stopped speaking. She was the only one awake in the house now, in the silence, alone.
