Nick , I love You Heartstopper S2 EP8 Bisexual Reacts

[@kayisfish]

That scene with Nick and Charlie after prom is one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever witnessed on TV or in a movie. Just shower them in awards. Give them all the awards. Spectacular.

[@Courtney-Jai]

It's very adorable

[@tommiller3017]

I read that Kit and Joe spent a whole day working on that last scene, and it shows. They are top actors who hone their craft to the nth degree. Also, Charlie is courageous, too. In spite of all the bullying and abuse, he never stopped looking for love and trying to care for Nick.

[@AudsVids]

I'm so old that the gathering at Nick's house remind me of the anti-prom in Dawson's Creek where Jack wasn't allowed to bring a guy to the prom. Kit has been amazing this series. If they follow the graphic novels we will definitely see a lot more emotional scenes for him and Joe.

[@CathyY72]

I used to be able to walk and read, now I can barely walk. Massive respect for Toby, who should win some kind of award for his ability make people believe he's actually reading every single one of those books!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I have no doubt that Courtney wept buckets at the final big scene.

[@clarestubbs9303]

I did! 😭😭😭

Nick and Tao went from the Chips to Crisp Pipeline

[@desireemcr410]

I just want to say thank you for sharing your emotions and experiences with us. I think it makes you the kind of man our world needs more of.

[@Courtney-Jai]

I'm just happy to see the everyone embracing the show and seeing something I would have loved to have when I was figuring stuff out

[@elisabethbauman6190]

Thank you so much for your comments and insights. I really appreciate your pointing out how you struggled the same way that Charlie did when being bullied the way he was. It’s powerful to hear it from a full adult who has made the choice to be open and vocal online. You are both brave and inspiring. Thank you, also, for mentioning that self-harm is sometimes about control. There’s so much stigma about it that the people I know are just shocked at the mere idea of self-harm of and don’t bother to dig deeper into why someone would exhibit that behavior. Although it’s true that Charlie might have been motivated by self-punishment, the idea that it’s a coping mechanism for his feeling out of control lines up perfectly with his eating disorder and OCD. Self harm is often about externalizing pain, i.e. making the intangible and overwhelming mental pain into something tangible and able to be controlled. Implementing a plan to self-harm, including when, where, and how, takes some of the helplessness away and makes it feel like something can be done to focus the moment in mindfulness. Add to that the endorphin release in the response to the pain, and it can be a very seductive way to get through the worst moments. Of course it’s a highly dysfunctional coping mechanism, but one that makes sense when you give people the safe space to explain what drives them to do it. I just wish more well-meaning people would approach it with a desire to understand rather than just an instinctive desire to fix it.

[@Courtney-Jai]

I just try to look at everything from a different perspective rather than face value. Nothing in life in life ever just black and white there's always a grey area with unexpected reasoning behind it.

And to you, Courtney-Jai, after watching your Heartstopper reactions, especially this last one, I feel love and gratitude for what you've done here. 💖

[@JaqueDark]

Fantastic reaction but I really loved what you said at the end about the in fighting in the community and how important Pride is for the world, we are fighting for acceptance everywhere.

[@Courtney-Jai]

Exactly shows like this being made allow an easier access point for anyone but the world still needs change and we have to be the ones to do it

[@dcemerald70]

I think what so special and amazing about the series is that it’s so relative to anyone no matter what their ages, sexual orientation, gender identity, or even their physical and mental attributes. It’s completely diverse, and I love it for that. I really enjoyed reading the books, and I can’t wait for the third season!!! I feel like a combination of Nick, Isaac, and Mr. Farouk. 🍃🍂⚡️✨🦋🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🩷💜💙

[@davidandniko3428]

It's awesome that your heart is touched and that you show your emotions unappologetically. You just be you!❤❤

[@OLDS98]

Courtney... Hello. You stand in your truth and you keep expressing your feelings and it does not matter what someone says to you because they do not know you personally and you are in touch with who you are. Keep doing what you do in your videos because you enjoy making content. I think David Tennant was a great Dr. Who as well. That was a powerful statement you made about family, friendships, and partners in life. I hope you had a grand holiday and happy New Year to you in 2024. May your year be bright and fulfilling in 2024!

Thank you for reacting to Heartstopper season two. I loved to see all your videos. I'm very excited for season 3. Happy new year Courtney! 🎇🥂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Yes, I did go to prom wearing a very lovely ensemble. I chose the colour of the suit and tie myself. Also, I thought it was going to end up like ‘Carrie’ but it went well.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Well, I mean the first episode of Season 3 is titled ‘Love’. So excited about that.

[@marionusa]

I can relate to Charlies "it went on for so long i Starter to believe what they were saying". Luckily there was a certain core that they couldnt touch with me. Probably props to my Family. I didnt start to hate myself or self-harm but it did affect my social behaviour. For Charlies eating disorder...disclaimer: I'm no expert...but i've been thinking that being outed unvoluntairily might have - understandably - given Charlie this Feeling, this deep fear of lost controle. Now that his partner Nic is on his way to out himself it triggers him. They both don't know how the reactions are going to be. Now that IT's out and the reactions have been what they have been, the "trigger" in a sense gone. I hope that this eases his struggles just through that and gives him a good chance to heal...or at least get better. P.s. i Messaged you on Instagram

[@wildsarsaparilla]

You are absolutely correct! All of them are children! Still finding out what their body is doing, let alone how they should feel or what they should say to each other. Been down that road. 🙂❤

[@slm_766]

Yes, I did go to my junior prom -- in 1968. The theme had something to do with Alice in Wonderland (the choice of which was probably influenced by the psychedelic music and arts of the era). I went with my best friend, who had asked me to teach him to dance (basic old-fashioned box step 😊 (more formal a step than was needed, luckily)) (Wearing white Converse without being snickered at would have been nice (and better for my back), in retrospect. 😁) Nevertheless, my mom had made the dress (hot pink satiny fabric) and we found accessories at the Salvation Army store. At the time, I felt like the prettiest girl there (not the usual experience for me). It was common for girls to wear their long hair in ringlets at those dances -- My date said he wanted to pull on the ringlets, which bounced like springs; eventually, I said, "Sure, why not." 🤣 * ** *** *** Yes, I'm 72 years old, and despite all the years of hearing misinformation (and prejudices) about what bisexuality was (and seeing/hearing what amounts to bi-erasure), I eventually realized that I, too, am 'bi, actually.' I've been binge-watching Heartstopper (more times than I can count), and I'm glad those who have come behind me will have this show to aid them in their journeys.

[@elisabethbauman6190]

Thanks for sharing ☺️

Happy New Year, I just got the Book 5 Graphic Novel, so will re-read the lot. I also re-watched Hearstopper 1 and 2 so to see it up to this point was great (as well as your participation in it). All the best for 2024 👨‍❤‍👨

[@carleytimmerman6451]

I’m still learning stuff about the asexual community but speaking from my own experience in the community (I’m demisexual so I need to have a deeper level of emotional trust and connection with someone in order to be comfortable with intimacy, but I’m still on the ace spectrum) and what I’ve learned from my friends who are also on the ace spectrum, it differs. Some people, like me, still want all parts of a relationship, both the romantic and intimate parts, some asexual people just want one or the other, some asexual people don’t want it at all, some asexual people might choose to be in queerplatonic relationships (which I would honestly love to see portrayed in this show or any show because I feel like it isn’t talked about enough). People have speculated (and maybe it’s canon, I’m not quite sure) that Isaac doesn’t want a romantic relationship or anything more than that so I guess we will have to see how his story progresses! I love this show and all of its representation so much!! ❤

Just a quick comment about volume 5 of the comics. You said it will be out next month It was released on the 7th of December. I've had my copy for 4 weeks now

Love this show, and you reactions to it. Would love to see you react to a Dixon Dallas song

[@michellebarry1555]

I’m so used to American television, that at the end when Charlie leaves I was so scared that something was going to happen to him. (I don’t read the book for each season until they have aired as to not spoil it for me, even though I have all the books including the newest volume I received a couple weeks ago). I was afraid he was like hit by a car or something. Thankfully they just left us with the “I love you” cliffhanger. I’m sorry that some idiot gave you a hard time about expressing your emotions, you being so genuine is why your community loves you 🫶🏻

[@Courtney-Jai]

American shows are always like that it's what ruins a lot of them , saying I love you is such a big moment and anyone who's done knows that to

[@michellebarry1555]

@@Courtney-Jai very true ☺️

[@AudsVids]

A lovely film that deals with coming out and unfortunately some bullying (teenage boys boarding school) is Handsome Devil. It's recent enough and has the fab Andrew Scott in it.

[@KayDeeKeySull]

From my experience, and what I know of the aromantic and asexual communities, there are a few ways for them to take Isaac's journey. The A-spec communities have terms to describe where on the spectrum of *interest* a person is, rather than just if they're *attracted* to people in whatever way. So assuming they write Isaac to identify as aroace, he could be anywhere from romance/sex favorable to neutral to averse to repulsed, and both those scales are independent of the other (someone could be romance repulsed and sex favorable as an example). So it'll be interesting to see how they take his journey and if or where James fits into it. It could be over, their relationship could be deeply platonic, or they could have a different sort of relationship (and Isaac could still be aroace). I'm excited to see where this goes! And I've only read the webcomic, so I assume that this is discussed in vol 5, but a separate character explicitly describes themself as asexual, and is in some form of romantic(maybe) relationship with someone, so I'm very excited to see that, and also it's possible that Isaac will be taken in a romance averse/repulsed aro direction to act as contrast to the (i believe) demiromantic asexual character

PLEASE ive watched #Heartstopper 30Xs & i cry EVERY TIME, SPECIALLY last scene 😢 POWERFULL WORK by #JoeLock & #KitConnor #BiPride

[@shannancox6632]

Thanks for being out there advocating for being bi, actually. I think it's human nature to categorize, but like most things in life, sexuality is not black and white. There are many aspects to sexuality and attraction and every one of those aspects have a range. People who can't see being "straight or gay" are ignoring a whole world of possibilities. Human beings are complex and nuanced, but they're trying to shove everyone in one box or another. It's their loss, really.

[@clarestubbs9303]

Courtney, as a straight ally, I feel for anyone who struggled coming out in the past. It does my heart good to see so much more LGBTQ+ representation on tv now, Good Omens, OFMD, It's a Sin and this. Also more representation in mainstream tv such as Dr Who! I hope to see good representation right across the board in media in the future, so that it is easier for kids to be able to be who they are and be happy without worrying about homophobia. ❤❤🌈🌈

[@Courtney-Jai]

I wish for the same thing infact I'm currently watch Doctor who

[@Super_Mario128]

Just watched the Doctor Who episode The Giggle, Yasmin Finney was great in it, and apparently she’s returning next year in Doctor Who as well.

[@Courtney-Jai]

Yeah I thought it was pretty good to , I felt the last episode was a little rushed it felt like it should have been a while series arch like the master

[@bingleyausten]

I don't think Isaac is using books to isolate himself. He's aware of his surroundings and participates as much or as little as he wants. I think it's a weight off his mind now that he knows there is nothing wrong with him in not having the same feelings as those around him but that is no reason for him not to read. It did my bookworm heart good to see him leading the heroes' entry.

You should try reacting to "Interview with the Vampire" (The Immortal Universe) the new adaptation of Ann Rice's novel. They have made explicit the gay/bisexual content which has always been an underlying theme of Ms. Rice's work and done it in a spectacular way: the acting, the scripts, the sets, the cinematography . . . all of it is sensational.f Try it, you'll like it.

Yeah I’ve experienced a bit of what you said at the end. I was at a bingo lingo party night and i met a lady there who was a lesbian and we were having a chatting about sexuality and I said I was pansexual and she was like oh so like bi? And I was like oh no I’m attracted to any person regardless on their sex or gender or what they have and she was like “oh that’s even worse”. So she was able to grasp bi but pan was too far? I’ve also been called greedy before so I’ve had it from both heterosexual and in the community itself. X
