GROTESQUERIE

‘ do better. , in all honesty, you found father mayhew at the wrong times, either when he was in his oh so sinfully tight red tank top, or when he would just get out of the shower, seeing his ass nine times out of ten. but if at all any constellation, you had to get this paper reviewed for the blog that was featuring the case you were helping a dective with (REQ).

OUTERBANKS

‘ not like him. , (s. cameron). your a pouge. she's a kook, more like a wanna-be-pouge in your eyes, but she knows you hate rafe as it is, and seeing another product like a mini-rafe without all the attitude and drug-crazed personality, you still have your off days that typically lead to arguments and such, no matter how hard she tries to get it through you thick skull that she's not like him.

‘ got me a quiet one , (j.b. routledge). as john b was diving into the world of dating, he managed to find you, after all, opposites do attract. you'd rather find yourself reading a good book, curled in blanket, rather than hunt for treasure. despite your indifferences with the activities you enjoy he always finds time to let you read while he rambles on about his latest adventure.

‘ sharing is caring. , (rafe &&. barry) (shadowbanned, i tried four times to get it public-public but m fraid it wouldn't let me). often finding yourself stuck between your drug crazed friend (occasional hookup) and his drug dealer, when you're sat in between then, you find out the true meaning to what sharing is caring as the subtly do lines off you, both taking up a thigh.

SHAMELESS

‘ sugar baby. , being fiona's sugar mommy is one of the hardest task there is when it comes to her, dealing with her not being able to accept it to her always dressing scrapy, typically with holes in her clothes due to how much she's worn them, to you spoiling her and the kids. which of course she finds them really sweet, but coming from how she's grown up, with little to nothing, having to be the parent for her own siblings, she finds it a tad bit difficult.

The women at this dinner are SO. DONE.

Tori, who has anticipated the dynamics at this dinner all along and has pegged David immediately as the slimeball he is, is clearly wondering how she got sat between these two massive male egos. She's armed and ready for her confrontations with David (perhaps even looking forward to them just a tiny bit?) when things take a turn for the worse. Protective older sister mode activated.

I debated adding Jane here, but she's reacting to the posturing and conflict between the men just as much as Tori or Sarah, so she deserves to be included. She spends the meal deflecting, changing topics, trying to keep the conversation in safe waters. She silently but visibly disagrees when Charlie downplays his rugby abilities (thank you, someone, for acknowledging he's not actually that bad!). But when Nick finally confronts David, her face shows dread. Anyone who's read Alice's cannon knows Jane has a complicated family history riddled with conflict, and her instinctive fear shows clearly in this moment before she realizes that Nick is going to handle this problem gracefully rather than violently.

And Sarah. Having seen how lovingly she navigates life with Nick and how sensitively she helps him with his problems, we can only imagine that she has to have been pushed to the absolute edge by her time with Stephane to react the way she does here. I'm not even getting into the second half of the argument after Nick leaves the table--that's a whole other post--but Sarah is completely comfortable placing the blame squarely where it belongs, even in front of company. Sarah Nelson, putting men in their place left and right.

Leading ladies, indeed.

Let's have some tea with the Nelsons.

One of my favorite little throughlines in Heartstopper is the making of tea as a gesture of comfort, welcome, or care in the Nelson household.

---

The first time we ever see Nick in his kitchen is after Charlie leaves on their snow day. Sarah is already at her customary place at the table with a cup of tea at her elbow, and Nick is gazing contemplatively into the middle distance while waiting for the kettle to boil. You get the sense that this is a well-worn routine in the Nelson home, and that Nick and Sarah have created a deeply loving and understanding relationship over many past mugs of tea at this table. As Nick prepares his tea, Sarah begins talking about Charlie: how nice he is, how different to Nick’s other friends, how Nick seems more himself around Charlie. As Nick takes his first sip of tea, you can see his perspective on his friendship with Charlie shift just a tad, a new, lovely facet revealed. Charlie helps Nick be his true self, and that, Nick realizes, makes him content.

When Sarah comes home to a troubled Nick—notably, waiting at the table where big discussions happen—trying to work through the love triangle he's somehow found himself in, she listens and offers her usual Sarah Nelson style of lovingly straightforward advice. You can see that Nick is at least somewhat comforted by this clear-eyed approach to the problem with Imogen; it confirms what he already knows deep down. And then, unaware of Nick’s changed relationship with Charlie, she says, "The right girl will come along" . . . and Nick dies inside just a little. But, she's getting two mugs out of the cabinet, so at least there will be tea.

After Nick’s day at the seaside with Charlie, he comes home very ‘smiley,’ having settled a lot of big things with Charlie and within his own mind. In an almost mirrored setup to the snow day tea, Sarah is having a cup at the table, and Nick heads over to the kettle to start making a mug for himself. While he waits for the kettle to boil (a good time for rumination if ever there was one), he remembers his words to Charlie: he wants to start telling people. He screws up his courage and sits down with Sarah to have the bravest conversation he’s ever had to have with her. And in that place of safety and comfort, over nurturing and calming mugs of tea, Nick shares this most important part of himself with his mother, and Sarah surrounds her son with accepting love.

Of course, we have this really satisfying interesting moment when David is initially denied tea because of his rudeness. Sarah’s quietly bolstering Nick while putting David in his place just a bit. She’s saying, you can only be part of this ritual if you honor the care and safety that is the hallmark of the Nelson home. (And we all know David is incapable of that.)

When Charlie sneaks out to visit Nick after his rough day, they relax in Nick’s room; Charlie, typically, falls asleep. When he wakes up, Nick offers dinner, which Charlie declines, asking for tea instead. This one’s hard, because we know that in this moment tea is Charlie’s way of getting around food and all of its challenging implications for him. Nick doesn’t know that, though, so he responds with joking affection, “You’re such an old man.” (Giving you the side-eye here Nick, since you drink more tea than anyone else in this show.) Nonetheless, he goes to make Charlie’s tea, a small gesture of care, and of intimacy in the sense that Nick knows how Charlie takes his tea and will be sure to fix it that way. That this lovely, domestically caring moment is interrupted by David’s cruelty is crushing. Those cups of tea will go cold on Nick’s bedside table.

After what is easily one of the most stressful evenings they’ve both experienced, Nick is recovering in bed while Charlie makes tea. Nick and Charlie need some time in a safe and comforting place to recuperate; not just Nick from physical illness, but both of them from the social pressures and challenges of the party in the woods. This overhead shot of Charlie stirring the tea is one of my favorites. Those three mugs in a row symbolize how Nick, Sarah, and Charlie all care for and support each other. Charlie may be a relative newcomer, but Sarah loves him already, and she has enveloped him in the safety of both her person and her home. Charlie clearly appreciates and cares for her in return. So even though he’s making this tea for a tired and ill Nick, he’s also caring for and thanking Sarah in this small way. And she returns the gesture with one of her own: validating words. “Nick's so lucky to have you.”

Tara and Darcy have just been through hell on a night that was supposed to be very special to both of them for a lot of reasons. The Nelson house becomes a safe harbor where they have time to be alone, with supportive and dear friends nearby, to discuss at long last the problems that have been plaguing their relationship all summer. It’s an incredibly challenging, honest, raw conversation, but Tara is patient and understanding, and Darcy is vulnerable, and they land on solid ground at the end. When the Paris squad sees that they are happily dancing together, they come to offer their additional love and support. Understanding that this is a time when comfort and closeness is needed, Nick does what Nelsons do: he offers tea.

Bonus: Tea at the Nelsons respresents Nick developing wider, deeper, more authentic friendships, as teatime progresses from a family-only affair, to a family + Charlie affair, to a Paris Squad affair. 💕

Honorable mentions go to . . .

Every single teacher needs tea to get through this day (maybe there's a dash of whiskey in those mugs) . . .
