Re Jorts. Amusingly, Kit said in an interview recently that he really hated wearing them but that they were a constant feature of his Nick costumes.

GCSEs (general certificates of secondary education) are exams we take at the end of year 11, the grades are U-9, a 4 or above is a passing grade! Charlie is in year 10 so that’s why he wasn’t in study hall :)

4:08 it's nice to see that heartstopper syndrome isn't exclusively to queer people lmao 😭

‘Your mom’s a genius’ 😂 I’m so glad he cut his hair

Hey D, you will really enjoy this season. Thanks for being an ally and so great towards the community… you are a very special man.❤😊😊

Why does the end of episode 1 get me so emotional, like -- aghh, baby Charlie wanting so badly to protect his bf 😢

And the how it stresses him.... Ahhh it'll be difficult

I didn’t think they’d top season one and I was very happily proven wrong. Everything lovable and charming about the first season is back in spades, in addition to adding interesting new layers to the characters. Even the unlikable ones! This is a very special show.

Yes, there is a SE3 of "Heartstopper". It was a double renewal with SE2 & SE3 together.

My thought is that Isaac looked as if he wasn’t sure why he didn’t have feelings like the couples around him - “What’s wrong with me?”

I think that’s likely what he was thinking.

Technically we met Charlie’s mom in season one when she interrupted Nick explaining himself at the door after running to Charlie’s house in the rain. But it was a very short scene with only a couple of lines from her, and most people don’t remember it so that’s fine. 😄

This episode still led me to believe that Tori is a dead apparition that pops up when Charlie is emotionally scared or in need. Even when she says "Stop saying 'Hanky Panky,'" the parents seemingly don't even look at or acknowledge her either time.

Hahah, my husband and I thought the same thing throughout Season 1 and this "clinched" it for us!!! (Not a bit after this, but up until this point, for sure, lol.)

GCSE's are just the exams we take at the end of secondary school at 15/16 in year 11 (10th grade)

GCSE noun (in the UK except Scotland) a qualification in a specific subject typically taken by school students aged 14-16, at a level below A level. a GCSE exam or pass. "you need five GCSEs"

Coming out is scary. Thousands of thoughts and scenarios run through your head and you just don’t know how someone will react to that very personal and vulnerable part of yourself.

Wheeee! This AND the second season of Good Omens at the same time! What a treat.

I had forgotten about Imogen Technologies since last year. I missed that, LOL

Imogen Technologies gets me every time 😅

Derek, Isaac was reading "Ace of Spades" by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé.

So excited to watch season 2 with you! Let's go! 😃

We love our cute straight allies! 🤣 So, I'm back to see you for season 2!

11:05 Yes, they confirmed S2 and S3 at the same time.

GCSE was referred to (when I did them) as an acronym for “General Collapse of Secondary Education”.

Loved your reactions to season 1. Looking forward to your thoughts on season 2. I personally loved it.

Thank you, Derek! 💞 I binged it all yesterday... I think you'll love it, as I did. #SleepyWaffles #EurosLyn #Heartstopper

Enjoyed your thoughts on S2/E1. I appreciate your straight perspective-thank you for your service! Just kidding, but speaking of Imogene I’m loving how her character is developing and that she’s been welcomed into the friend group. The sleepover was sweet. Thanks again!

Bro knowing about aces ( ༎ຶ 〰༎ຶ )♡

Kit actually HATES jorts! They are not his favourite item of clothing. LOL

Season 2 starts the day after Nick and Charlie went to the beach.

To clarify about the pizza thing. We have both Dominos and Pizza Hut, however, independant is the way to go in the UK! Chain resturants are kinda mid

I first subbed to your channel after watching your season 1 reactions. Now that I’ve finally been able to catch up with Season 2, I’m glad I can come back here to see your reactions again. Feels full circle for me

Came for the cute, straight guy watching gay content in season 1... stayed for the cute, straight guy watching gay content AND extreme geek content. 😍glad to see you're already eating up season 2! :)

Omg yes. I’ve been waiting for your reaction

Yay, my favorite tired batter based dessert youtuber and my favorite season of my favorite show! My Patreon bills are so high this month with me re-subbing for everyone's full length reactions.

Just stumbled on your channel and was so happy to see that you had watched HS S1 and are going to do S2, also!!! It's an amazing show! I liked and subscribed!!! P.S. Isaac is canonically aroace in the graphic novels. 🙂

Great to join you again..love your reactions to Heartstopper..😊

LOVE all the corporate references! I look forward to the discussion about the upcoming merger in ep 2 and its effects on the stakeholders versus the shareholders. Ben is a vulture capitalist!

I got ahead an episode and found myself saying, "Imogen Technologies!" out loud at the tv. She can never be anything else now...

I found the dad's reaction normal. your gay son just told you the friend he has sleeping over in his room all the time with the door closed is his boyfriend, of course the dad is like and they'll be no more of that then, door open, lights on, leave room for Jesus. As soon as Charlie started to tell his parents about Nick I was like NO, YOU FOOL. DONT DO THAT. HE'LL NEVER BE ALLOWED ALONE IN YOUR ROOM AGAIN! And now, there's no hanky panky

Welcome back. I’ve been told that the book Isaac is reading is Ace of Spades, a story with a gay component in a black school context. I don’t think it has any reference to Ace people, AFAIK. Perhaps Alice is foreshadowing his story? We’ll find out, hopefully.

Thank you for reacting to this❤

It's a great episode in showing off something about the lgbt experience that is kinda obvious when you think about it but I hadn't really considered until I 'came out' to some of my friends and family, which is that coming out is not just something you do once or twice and then it's done. You have to keep doing it over and over and over. And eventually it becomes less frequent, but it never really goes away. Coming out is a lifelong thing you just have to learn to do again and again

Your reaction to season 1 was awesome! I’m back for more. Greetings from Argentina!

Looking forward to another season. Always love your reactions and appreciate your allyship. Eager for the rest

Coming out is complicated and exhausting and fraught with anxiety. I am 44, and the first time I came out to someone I was 16. Since then it’s been family, high school friends, college friends, roommates, work friends, work acquaintances, club friends and potential romantic partners. Every time you move, there’s a new set of people who assume you’re straight. A long time ago I stopped feeling like everyone in my life needed to know, and as a cis person who is perpetually single, it really doesn’t come up that much. Of course, that’s harder if you read as queer outwardly from your dress, mannerisms, and appearance. Then people are less likely to assume you’re straight and demand you give them answers so they can make sense of your nonconformity, which is intrusive. For me, the biggest thing is just navigating the process of telling personal anecdotes so that I don’t accidentally out myself to a bunch of people while telling a random story of going to a restaurant on a date and then having the point of the story being totally lost in answering the follow up questions about “wait, what? You said date, but you didn’t use the pronoun we expected, so explain that to everyone in detail!” Nowadays I don’t actually label myself to anyone new, but I do wear LGBT apparel to signal to people that they need to watch their words around me if they are naturally alphabet-phobic. I also do it to signal to people who are in the closet that I’m a safe person to confide in and to let the world know that I because I don’t meet any of the stereotypes for people who are LGBT+, then they should check their assumptions.

Who could possibly justify being mean to you? 🥺 Another great reaction! 😊

Enjoyed your reactions to the episode. Can't wait for your reaction to the next show. Thanks.

honestly love your videos !!!☺

GCSE's are like if the GED and the SAT had a bastard baby. This season is about family and families that you create for yourself.

Great reaction 🥰

Derek, GCSE stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education, exam.

FYI, I saw another Heartstopper reaction video, and someone had commented about "Imogen Technologies." I fully Captain America'd. You're a trend setter.

hi welcome back it good to see u gain u going to love this season and just wounding when u going to do the one

Hey, i missed your reactions! Time to catch up!

GSCE are kind of like SATs only the take them more around the time we take PSATs and they seem to be more intensive. They take a lot of notes and they have them in individual subjects compared to our one day SATs consisting of language and math fill in the multiple choice circles (although I know that they've added and essay portion to the SATs since I took them in '85. After GSCEs they do either A or O levels depending on their educational track. At least I'm fairly certain that's how it works. O levels are for less academically minded I think? I might also be talking out my ass. I'm not sure, but I think school might be harder in the UK.

GCSEs replaced O Levels when they were abolished ages ago. They are exams that you take by subject, in subjects you are good enough at - usually in the year you turn 16. So Nick is taking them but Charlie, Tao etc are not.

I forgot about Imogen Technologies 😂

If there’s a public partnership with Imogen Technologies, what would Nick’s company name be? 😂

I was guessing that GCSEs were like SATs.

14:52 I was trying to figure out the movie too.

I think the book Isaac is reading is called Ace of Spades, which is a fantasy book, I believe.

@ThatsMyUsborneBook

No Ace of Spades is not a fantasy but it has a mix of the themes of the the movie Get Out and the show Gossip Girls.

In season 1 Isaac said “I believe in romance!” So I would suspect that he is not aromantic, but that’s just a guess.

@@tgibson-hv4evAlice is aroace and has written an insanely popular and engaging story with romance at its center. Alice also admits to reading fanfics and indulging in shipping characters from other franchises. I have researched a bit about asexuals and aromatic asexuals in particular, and there seem to be three takeaways: 1) Sexual attraction and libido are not linked 2) Asexual people can have vivid fantasies, but they do not have the desire experience them in real life, and often imagine these fantasies playing out through other people, like fictional characters. They’re happy thinking about that stuff, just not about doing it themselves. And they can be happy for their friends who do experience that. 3) Sexuality is super-complicated, and asexuality and aromanticism can have many shades. Not that many people are genuinely repulsed, and so they may not feel personally lit up by engaging in sex or relationships, they can still do it, anyway. In conclusion, it takes a bit to come to terms with asexuality and aromaticism, and it’s really best if you take what people who identify that way say at face value. If they say things that seem contradictory or difficult to reconcile, just try to expand your understanding or let it be (unless they’re happy to explain in detail, which many are not). I’ll leave you with a very imperfect and poorly thought-out metaphor. I think dolphins are cool, and it brings me joy to know they exist. My sister had an opportunity to swim with dolphins when she was 16, and I was very happy for her and intensely curious about what it was like. However, as I grew older, I figured out that I don’t actually want to swim with dolphins myself. I can understand why people want to do that, I can be happy for them, and I can live vicariously through their enthusiasm. In the meantime, I’ll be living my best life on the boat, fully dressed, taking pictures and eating cake.

He said "I WANT TO believe in romance" :)

The no sex thing is most parents of younger teenagers. Religion doesn't come into it. I'm a parent and I didn't let my son's girlfriends sleepover until he was 18. You want your kids to be safe, emotionally and physically. My parents definitely didn't let me hang out with my boyfriend in the bedroom with the door shut. It's pretty typical of most parents.

General Certificate of Secondary Education. It's their exams to advance or to graduate.

you seem to be a good ally😄

Good that you commented a bit more on the "no hanky-panky" situation. Not many reactors do. I'm a liberal parent of a teenager and do not really understand this attitude. As long as you have quite a bit house so that you do not see or hear anything, I don't get the problem. You just need to talk to your kid about safe s*x etc.

Thank u so mutch for being an ally to the comunity. I love ur reactions and as a queer person I feel safe here on ur channel Also I think GCSE means generelised cerntral standerdised exams

GCSE: General Certificate of Secondary Education.

In a world that revolves around sex, asexuality is misunderstood even by the other members of the acronym community.

Episode 1 is full of kissing scenes!

I think jorts are a sort of queer coded fashion?

You should start coming out as straight to new people you meet. See how awkward it truly is. It's like telling a stranger what position you like. It makes as much sense as that. Why would you tell people about your sex life immediately upon meeting them? So awkward. I wish it was just normal. Someone introduces you to their partner, and it's no big deal if the partners are same sex.

"Hawaiian the best kind of pizza" ...*unsub*

GCSE = General Certificate of Secondary Education = kinda equivalent to High School Diploma. Not to sound insulting, but it would be a bit refreshing for you to trim down the slight undertones of condescending comments. We must remember these are teens. And it has been over a year since season 1, don't you think the "Imogen technologies" gag is a bit old now? You wanna get s small sense of what it is like to have to "come out" is like? For a moment try to imagine that the entire world is gay, and that ONLY a 20% amount of the population is straight like you are...and for the REST OF YOUR LIFE you have to inform everyone that you are straight...every time you start a new school, or a new job, or move to a new home or neighborhood. And that you have to deal with bigotry, and phobias about YOU just because of who you are, and who you love. And that you ONLY have about 20% of the population to find someone else to share your life with, AND, it never goes away...get's better, but it ALWAYS there because people who are religious, and say they believe in a LOVING god, but they also believe you are EVIL, and sick, and judge you at every turn, and some states are trying to pass laws to either push you back into a closet, or cancel your community completely...it isn't easy or fun to deal with. And yes, I am gay.
