q&a timeeeee
New Heartstopper q&a is up on Tapas now!! Here are some of my favourite answers đ
I think it's funny that at Charlie's birthday party, Nick and Charlie are being cute and shit, Elle's realizing she has a crush on Tao, and Issac is just fucking gambling.
I finished heartstopper ss2 and I genuinely cried when the gcse were mentioned. Idk what's wrong with me. Help?
HEARTSTOPPER, SEASON 2 (2023)
âYou wonât understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you areânot smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgivingâand then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how badâor goodâit might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.â â Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
isaac specifically saying that he reads tons of romance books and he knows what romance supposed to be like but he still doesn't know how it's supposed to feel in real life oh that's a particularly brutal species of aroace pain that i understand deeply and i really want to hug him
just finished season two of heartstopper and you guys have no idea how i felt when i heard the words asexual and aromantic and how i related to everything isaac went through: the confusion, the constant feeling that something is wrong with you because you don't feel the same as people your age, society's obsession with relationships and isaac's burst of anger because he felt like the group only cared about the romantic aspect of his life as if it's the most important one... i'm so so grateful to alice and the show for the aroace representation and i can't wait to see more of isaac's journey in the next seasons because this one made me feel seen and valid and i actually teared up a couple of times especially when he picked up the ace book from the library in the final episode :,) ALSO can we talk about how iconic it was to use "crush culture" by conan gray when that man was explaining the meaning behind his artwork to isaac? i was literally smiling from ear to ear
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
WE NEEED MORE SOFT QUEER LOVE STORIES đ
"Basically about my experience being aromantic and asexual. Like, being in a world where romance and sex are prized above everything when you don't feel those forms of attraction. Growing up feeling that something about you is different, but you don't have the words to describe what that is. But then, freedom. The euphoria of freeing yourself from those pressures and expectations."
That person describes exactly how it feels to not be a part of the allo world we live in and it's so important that this is said in a show like Heartstopper which is famous because it portrays queer joy. Having this type of representation is so important, it's shown in a beautiful way and that whole scene gives a big sense of community and comfort.
The way Isaac has his "heartstopper moment" with the green and purple leaves is also SO important. How the other characters have this type of animation when they're with their partner because they're in love, while Isaac has them because he's found out who he really is, and how those leaves instead of being there because of romantic love, are there because Isaac's "heartstopper moment" is about self love
Isaac having his heartstopper moment (đ) when he's being told what being aroace means, just like Nick in the comics
is so important and relevant, it should be talked about a lot more
the way Isaac has a lot of parallels with the other characters experience because HE IS QUEER, his experience is equally important as every other queer character in hs
how there are no leaves when he kisses James but there are leaves when he's being informed about his own label while feeling free and realizing there's a name for what he feels like is just amazing and it should be talked about more.
