I feel like a really overlooked line of Tara’s is in the music room, when she says “I could barely even say the _word_ ‘lesbian’” because it shows, like you guys said, that you can know yourself but also be effected by society’s view on you. There is so much stigma around the word lesbian, and it makes a lot of newer queer girls more confused, or even scared to use it. There’s a fear of being seen as a predator, or being wrong and everyone judging you if you realise “oh. I’m not a lesbian.” This happens for a lot of sexualities, as we live in a very comphet world, and it’s important to show that owning yourself is a journey, a journey that is 10000% worth it in the end.

After thinking I was bi for like 3 years and slowly realizing I wasn’t attracted to women, I was outside by myself thinking about my sexuality and literally couldn’t bring myself to say “I’m gay” out loud because everything about it made me hate it. Since then (~4 years ago) I’ve improved a lot but still saying the words “I’m gay” makes me recoil usually. I related to that scene so much it’s absurd.

Also, in the car after the fight in episode 7, you can see her have that aha moment when she asks Nick, "Charlie's a really special friend, isn't he?" It's not really used too much anymore, but "special friend" used to be a common euphemism for a same-sex partner. In this scene, we basically see her realize that her son isn't straight, but other than asking that one question, she lets him take his own time in coming out to her. And we see Nick taking his first step toward coming out to her, although obviously he's not quite ready for that final step yet.

Jokingly calling any mild inconvenience homophobia is peak LGBT culture and you can't tell me any differently haha Heartstopper was so adorable! As they said, it was so nice to have something that didn't gloss over the bad stuff, but wasn't all about it?

The books were originally all about them with only showing what happens to the other big characters when they’re with Nick and Charlie. They are the ultimate main characters.

I think Nick is probably my favorite character for his emotional maturity and the fact that he is the king of healthy communication, as well as the fact that he is the anti-Ben and is so thoughtful and appreciative of Charlie and understands that Charlie has been dealing the trauma of the abusive relationship with Ben. Plus, Nick Nelson - bi icon. Love the bi representation here - it's so healthy and it isn't over-sexualized or negative. And I love that Nick might be hella confused about his attraction to and feelings for Charlie, but he doesn't try to run away from them or fight them. He just faces them head on and works on understanding them. He might not know what his sexuality is in most of this season, but he does know how he feels about Charlie and he is sure about that. Plus, he's adorable, he has a great relationship with his mother (who is also a rock star here), and he's got Nellie by his side. Kit Connor did an outstanding job of bringing Nick to life and showing all of the nuance of his struggles throughout the season, as well. And Joe Locke - wow, for a first ever professional acting role, he did such an amazing job of bringing Charlie Spring to life. They all did such a great job, and I need this show to just win all of the awards now.

Heartstopper is revolutionary and beautiful and just so good, and fills a really needed-but-unfilled niche of cozier LGBTQ representation, cuz I think historically LGBTQ characters have often been kept to more "gritty" stuff.

He literally finishes a speech about how Charlie feels his existence is annoying to others and then declares his intention to ignore him a bit longer for punishment when he clearly knows how much worse that is for Charlie than for most people.

I would rate Tara just as highly as Darcy! I absolutely love how she inspires Nick to be true to himself and repeatedly gives him space to open up to her about things he’s hiding from everyone else.

Tao was most definitely my favorite. i really related to the way he handled relationships (especially platonic) at that age. everything felt so big and overpowering when it came to emotions. everything felt so personal. i had a hard time being vulnerable and it caused me to seek control in my friendships and life in unhealthy ways. i appreciated seeing that portrayed and seeing his growth and how it mimicked my own.

It’s like colors and bodies and sexualities and genders and ages and woooooo everyone is so gorgeous and complex and lovely in every possible way. So yeah I recommend it!!!

I also loved this show bc I saw so much of it with myself. A lot of people tell me I am the American version of nick (I play football, have a similar haircut, am bisexual, and have a dork of a bf who has Charlie’s hair and personality). It was super refreshing and validating for me to see this. Thanks Alice Oseman!

I relate to Tao in a way. In the bathroom scene where he’s like “you’re just gonna call me a jealous over protective friend” or something and I sobbed. I’ve been the jealous friend. I’ve been so petrified of losing so many wonderful friends that when they made new friends or had other friends and they didn’t hang out with me I’d feel frantic and like I had to save everything. But like instead I’d just pushed them away and lost them anyway. Ik that’s not the entire thing but Jesus Christ the amount I sobbed at that realization. Thankfully I’ve grown out of that but younger me couldn’t handle that

Tori, then Nick for me. I love how supportive Tori is. I really like Nick’s journey and how before he had figured out himself he started standing up for Charlie and Tao.

I read the comic before seeing the TV show. I really think their relationship is central because the comic is actually told from Charlie’s point of view and he is the main character. One thing I really loved about the TV show was to see more of the stories of the friends who were just side characters in the comic.

I just love the thrive vibe of Heartstoppers. Of confronting problems with communication instead of drama for the most part, and just the adorable wholesomeness.

Heehee I love Shaaba saying "I love Darcy's fashion sense" when their hair looks the same lol

I can't tell you how many times I have watched this beautiful series! I would say that my favorite character is Nick, because I like how he is pushing through a really confusing time in his life to discover his true self. I love that he is able to stand up to his friends, and that he gets more and more comfortable being himself in public. I love watching his journey! I also really love Elle because she is practical, sweet, and strong, and she beautifully navigating her way through a lot of difficult changes in her life. ❤️

yeah, charlie and nick have always been the protagonists, but i LOVE that other characters are getting more focus in the show. the adaptation gives alive the opportunity to expand on the lives of tao, elle, tara and darcy (and i hope isaac too) which is really cool

@@esf34147 Yes! Exactly! That's why I think I personally like the show better. Ik y'all come for me for saying it, but-

Whenever Ben came on screen I would say "Why are you back? No one likes you," My friends thought it was funny, and I stand by what I say. There's an awesome scene in the graphic novel with Darcy where Tara is talking to Nick, and Darcy sneaks up and blows a trumpet in Tara's ear. I adore it. El, love her. An absolute icon. Sweet little Nellie, you cannot hate her... unless you're allergic to dogs, but it's still hard. Nick is a golden retriever boyfriend. But, in the books he's so much more of a himbo, both in design and relative braincell count. /pos Charlie is a hekin trooper with the "No! Nick isn't straight," He's so sweet Tori does straight up appear in the books, and I think she has her own series or book.

I WAS WONDERING WHAT U THINK ABOUT HEART STOPPER

I have never clicked so fast. Jamie, Shaaba, and Heartstopper? Yes please.

I LOVE ISAAC SO MUCH and yes im incredibly biased i was just so happy to see aroace representation i freaked out and now hes one of my favorite characters :)

Ngl Jamie and Shaaba give Major Darcy Energy 🔥

Ben reminds me of that guy in the aita video the other day that was homophobic but then OP was expected to help him with coming out

Ahh this is so cute. Would you update any ratings based on season 2?

You will LOVE the new character, Sahar, in seasons 2-3 She's not much in the comics but she's absolutely amazing

I think I'm going to watch HS for the 3rd time tonight. Or read the books for the 4rth? Maybe both

Charlie Spring ofc.

You should make another video rating character from Our Flag Means Death. That show is queer (and neurodivergent) representation at its best!
