Crying my way through HEARTSTOPPER! | S1 E1-3 Reaction

[@nicholaswaters4950]

The "you seem much more yourself around him" scene broke me. Without knowing it, his mum changed his view of Charlie and the whole relationship. And it was done in a simple and calm way.

[@niallnochill]

Literally such a small yet touching moment! ❤

[@chtijean9450]

That seems simple and calm because she's the Queen...what a wonderfull actress 🤩

[@767wattsy]

The way this show models healthy emotional intelligence and positive role models without preaching- so good!

[@kumaahito3927]

She definitely knew. Or suspected. She led Nick in basically every scene before his coming out, and presenting him the opportunities for when he felt ready and safe to talk to her. Sarah is perhaps one of my favorite characters in the entire show (and not just due to Olivia)

[@therach1]

Me again. Imogen is such an interesting character because she never actually does anything wrong. She's a little awkward about it but she's an ally, she has a crush on a guy, she's confident in herself about it... she just happens to crush on a guy that doesn't like her back. We've all been there. She's unknowingly in the way of Nick and Charlie but it's not her fault. The asking Nick out in front of everyone was not cool though... but I get it. We were all idiots as teenagers, don't even deny it.

[@Linda-J99]

I think so too! Even in Season 2 she’s so lovely but sometimes she makes awkward comments. But I totally love her!

[@princessofhell4639]

I think she's an accurate representation of a straight who is newly friends with the LGBTQ community. She always means well but sometimes what she says seems a little misguided. Although a lot of people are straight to think she might not be completely straight either.

[@marissaswain2944]

I’m fifty five years old and cry every time I watch Heartstopper, this time I was crying at your reaction….. it was so sweet to see you getting so emotional. I think every single gay person no matter where they are from can relate to this story.

[@niallnochill]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video! I agree, I even think every queer person can find something to relate to in this story. It’s wonderful!

[@eddietucker7005]

Yes! I was going to say the same thing! (Except I’m a little bit older than 55 🙃!) I grew up in the deep, deep woods in a town with no name. They tied me to a tree and set me on fire. Seriously. But the only gay person, I wanted to make it better for the younger generations that would come after me and needed to feel safe. So I took the beatings, had to stand up to the Southern Baptists, took the rapes and kept fighting to be myself. This show reminds me it was all worth it. His reactions had me crying in hopes that he actually knows he has it better than we did in the past. Yeah, I wish I had an easier time in school but that was not my purpose.

Before Heartstopper, I had never cried watching a show before. I didn’t think it would mean so much to me, but I cried every episode.

[@laynalea]

Seeing Tara and Darcy at the party always gets to me. As a young gay, I remember the first time I saw a couple being unapologetically gay and how reassuring that was, and I'm glad that a scene like that was put on such a major streaming service like Netflix. Heartwarming reaction by the way, glad you're enjoying the show

i was 17 when i first saw heartstopper, and its been more than a year since it came out and man the way you mentioned your teenager self would've adored this show well as now a bisexual 18 year old, it changed my life and im so glad i saw it. also dude you're lucky, season 2 of heartstopper comes out on august 3rd so you don't have to wait that long, rest of his had to wait more than a year😭

[@mark99k]

There's a cute Easter Egg near the very end of episode 3: when Charlie looks at his phone the morning after the party, the date says 21 March. That means the kiss happened on 20 March, which is the first day of spring.... as in Charlie _Spring._ That has to have been intentional.

[@Arakhor]

This is the representation I wanted at school or even at university. I first read the webcomic a few months before the series came out, but the show still exceeded any expectations I had. I don't remember if I cried, but I do remember smiling so much, my face hurt. 😊

[@vk3crg]

Niall, I’ve really loved your reaction to Heartstopper 😅this show appeals to people of all ages. I’m 54 and I really wish this was around when I was a gay teen in the 80’s. I’m so glad it exists now and it’s here for the teens and people of all ages today. Something like this would have made such a difference to me when I was in my teens thinking I was the only closeted gay kid at school. Turns out years later there were quite a few 😂I’ve watched this show countless times and I still tear up on parts! Well done for being yourself on camera. No spoilers but if you’re crying now, I can’t wait to see your reaction to the last episode! 😂🤣Keep up the great work! Craig - Australia

[@brianmiller3529]

31, I cried through most of the episodes.... The show is just a constant, insanely adorable reminder that I didn't have anything like this. Haha... I also cried through the next 10 rewatches :P I can get through it fine now, but watching you... I cried again!

'Of course the art teacher is gay' - if the series is following the books, there are actually several gay teachers, and they are all awesome!

[@LoachSweetleaf]

Oh yes there are!

[@767wattsy]

I came out in the early 80s in a country Australian town, and I bloody bawled watching this show. It’s simultaneously painful (because of what I didn’t get to experience as a teenager), healing, and inspiring - because kids today have this sort of representation. I can totally relate to your tears!

[@tookitogo]

So well said! That’s exactly my feelings on this show.

[@nahuelma97]

The fact that I've seen this show many times already but it can still get me emotional is just such a testsment to the incredible writing and acting on it. It's just great all around, and it's quite healing as well for us traumatized gays 😂😂

[@brondo93]

Came across this as a recommended video, was absolutely not disappointed. The rollercoaster of emotions and reconciling gay trauma/high school experiences with what you’re seeing is exactly what I went through. I’ve probably watched the show at least 10 times in the past year, as well as seeing a LOT of reaction content, and I still get just as emotional every time - Heartstopper is just that good!

[@sophiablackthorn]

I've been reading the comics since I was 13 and I'm so happy we finally have a show😭 The actors did an AMAZING job, I was pleasantly surprised at how Alice managed to find the PERFECT actors to portray the characters I love so much. It's like they all came straight out of the graphic novel. That without mentioning how the actors who play Nick and Charlie have the same sexuality as their characters, the actress who plays Elle is trans in real life, the actor who plays Darcy is non binary (they/them pronouns) and the actor who plays Isaac is gay. Not only did they respect the ages of the characters by hiring actual minors to play them but they also hired a mostly queer cast, which is so nice to see because most of the time all the actors playing queer characters are cishet.

[@naofg]

oh my god, you understand me!!!!!!!!!! that scene with tara and darcy kissing at the party was everything to me too, i got so emotional. i'm teary eye right now again just from seeing your reaction to it 😭

[@jasonstamp10]

Just came across your channel because of this video. Your editing is hilarious 😂 I'm a 40 year old gay man and had the same reaction to the show you're having. I had a terrible experience through 8 years of school as well in the 90s, lots of bullying both verbally and physically from so many different people. I tried to deny being gay, I tried to push it down out of existence which of course didnt work, and on occasion I tried to push back which just made it worse. All of the bullying basically conditioned my nervous system to be constantly expecting my safety to be taken away from me and conditioned it to be constantly in an agitated "flight or fight" anxious state. I ended up with severe social anxiety and complex PTSD which i still struggle to deal with. Watching Heartstopper absolutely WRECKED me the first time. I watched it on repeat for weeks and revisited scenes until the emotional punch finally wore off. The show triggered a profound sense of unhealed shame, grief, and sadness towards what my experience had been. I was sad I didn't get to have what Nick and Charlie have, I was sad that something like this didn't exist when I was a kid that said being LGBTQ+ was normal and not something deserving of shame, it was triggering traumatic memory flashbacks and unhealed trauma, I was a mess. The interesting thing when the show first came out was that this was happening to many, MANY LGBTQ+ people young and old. Many from older generations were having this reaction especially because it validated our existence in a way we've never been allowed to have or been given in media. It celebrates queer people and treats them with happiness and dignity. I was hearing this experience called experiencing Heartstopper Syndrome, having a profoundly moving and emotional experience watching the show and not knowing how to process what you're feeling as a result. I look forward to seeing the rest of your reaction videos for the show. I can't wait for Season 2 in 2 months!

I was so young and didn’t know what love really looked like and it sure wasn’t that. But I was so wrapped up in him that I was blind to all the red flags. I’m 39 now and still have never met my Nick Nelson. But yeah, this show really bubbled up all the trauma I forgot I was carrying from those years.

Niall, so glad KZbin recommended your video - you helped me remember how it first felt to watch the show ... which was about 12 watches ago! Like some others, yah, I cried along with you here, totally. Yes, this is a show that you can watch again and again and again and you always find something new that you had missed - and it NEVER gets tired or boring! There are just too many iconic, cute, touching, poignant, funny, life-affirming moments in each episode! And the music! The music. The original background music, yes. But the curated music sung by various artists ... SO ON POINT! My favorite little sequence of music is the end of Ep. 1 when Nick is in the car with Mum and receives the text from Charlie - and the song "Don't Delete The Kisses" by UK band Wolf Alice (from 2018?) plays and the haunting but beautiful way the song ends together with Nick looking out the window and smiling, and the pair of seagulls, and the cut to BLACK and you hear the end-of-song reverb ... it just sends chills down my spine! I watch that scene again and again and cry every time. And the first kiss! Oh, the first kiss. And the beautiful on-point music that composer/performer Adiescar Chase scored for that scene is just EPIC! Niall, get ready to be IMMERSED in everything Heartstopper - this show will do that to you - for me it felt like the entire show Heartstopper was my new boyfriend! SO obsessed for months! - especially here on KZbin, SO much content! And, yes, tears of sadness of what I didn't have, tears of joy of what this is and what this will mean to all the newly-out (or wanting to come out) LGBTQIA+ teenagers. Even if, as Kit has said in interviews, it is a "rose-tinted" view of things, it will make all the difference to young boys and girls trying to figure themselves out. And, yup, count me in as another middle-aged gay man who got SO much out of it. Thanks again, Niall, will continue on to the rest of your delicious videos. And, your getting to the show so late, you are SO lucky that you have less than two months and you already get treated to Season 2!

I feel like the first queer representation I ever saw was The L Word which was so affirming as a teenage lesbian, but having a show like this would have been even more amazing. To see that young folk can experience these emotions and relationships too and without them having to be overtly sexual (I'm also ace) would have been such a game changer for me. I'm so glad this show exists and is so easily accessible for the younger generations of queers so they can see just how varied and beautiful queer expression can be and how, even if they're young, their feelings and experiences and love are all valid.

i only recently watched this too and had similar reactions 😭♥️ this show really is the sweetest thing ever and i cried a lot through it and with you as well! wish it had existed on this scale when I was a teenager too, and ahh s2 coming so soon! just found your channel from your young royals reacts and loving your content, thank u for sharing these moments :)

[@kaushiksunapu5657]

really nice reaction, thanks for not hating dear Imogen btw❤️

[@renoxme4ever]

Just wanted to thank you for this video.. your raw honesty is deeply appreciated AND you're funny as hell. Much love to you and yours ❤

[@mark99k]

LOVE IT. Your reactions are quite possibly the most endearing of the dozens I've seen, and I'm definitely gonna hit your Patreon for the full versions. I'm especially grateful for the work you've obviously put into the precise editing, so that you're never speaking over the iconic dialog moments (of which there are tons). EDITED to add: Most of us HS fans have watched the show several times. Most reactors don't manage to make us feel the same joy as when we watched it for the first time. But you absolutely have done that. And that's a real gift to us.

I didn’t realise how sad and lonely my inner baby gay was until I watched Heartstopper with the same amount of stress and tears as you 🥹😭

[@Koi_Fishstick]

I can't help getting giggly everytime I watch heartstopper 😭

[@kreginzen]

Honestly I just love this show more every time I watch it or that I watch someone react to it. No matter how many times I still cry happy tears. I loved your reaction.

[@TheTsuha]

i watch so many reaction to heartstopper.. so far ur the most genuine.. ur the best! and just wanna let u know.. its ok to cry means u have a huge heart

[@Freddddyyy]

I really value the scene where tara and nick speak, and he tells her that he has only met one openly gay person before. Plus everything that happens after with tara and her girlfriend kissing while he was looking at them. Just because it helped me a lot when i met my first opely gay friend... eventhough he was 13 years older and a drug addict. But it just was nice to see someone else not caring what others think. ^^

[@funboy46]

Literally just seen this pop up as a suggested after having watched season 2. And then one all over again, and 2 back again. It took me six weeks after watching season one to be able to even say its name without bursting into tears. And here i am crying along with you at your reactions at the same bits yet again. This show is a miracle. If i had seen this as a 15 year old it might have saved me from years of mental anguish and shame. Its the most wonderful comforting show ever ❤

[@ohanachiaini9868]

Honey you are amazing to show your feelings and emotion through these episodes! I need moreeeeee ❤❤❤❤❤ pleaseeeeeee. Be happy and safe!

[@mikimoo3094]

Ugh, you're SUCH a ~beautiful~ soul, love. I just found your channel, and now I'm a fan. I love the way you got SO connected with this, in the EXACT way that ~I~ did. You're so lovely, darl, thank you for this, it helped heal my heart

[@mstrmren]

OH MY GOD I LOVED THAT! I can't wait to see more of your Heartstopper reactions! As someone who is relatively young, watching Heartstopper has helped me a lot! Even though I don't like that everything was so predictable, that wasn't the first thought that came to my mind when I finished it (I watched the entire season in one night). I used to look up tutorials on how to behave, look and speak less gay (yes that exists). And I can't really describe it, It was just so weird experiencing support for things I wasn't comfortable on talking about with anyone else, and eventually that lead to me finding supportive friends. So in short Heartstopper literally changed my life haha

[@ChrisMoore21]

Your reactions were so similar to mine when I watched it! Pretty much a happy-sad response to how wholesome and beautiful love can be. I, like you, had nothing like this growing up, and spent a long time closeted and unsure of myself. I now reflect on it and wonder what life could have been like, had I been braver. I think a lot of it stems from the fact that I'm grieving the parts of my life that I think I could have had. Young love just was not in the cards for me. Anyways, biggest of hugs to you and thank you for your endearing responses that make me feel like I was not alone in these same struggles!

[@user-yu7gu7jq7h]

Heartstopper is a comfort show for me, and your reactions are just the best! I love the random noises you make (no need for sound effects for edits), love your good vibes, and I cry every time with you. I'm currently watching your HS reactions for the who-knows-how-many times... Love you man!

[@eduardobarria7181]

When I first saw Heartstopper, everyone said they cried at the kiss scene. I don't. Although it was very exciting. I was also very sad to see Charlie cry on his dad's lap. But when Nick suddenly shows up at Charlie's door, all wet, about to explode, after maybe staying up all night thinking about what had happened and being terrified by this new thing I was feeling, I definitely couldn't resist and I I started crying

[@DocHikes]

Niall! You're in for a treat with this show. I wish I had this in school too. I'm so happy it exists now and I tell so many people they need to watch it.

[@Commenter5]

I’m so happy that i found this show at 13 and i binged all episodes in one day, happy tears🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@gem3614]

Love your raw reactions! They were same for me! I cried😢 the first 30 times watching the series! Love them so much and so excited for Season 2! Hugs!

[@didge4dec]

This is so brill. Love your reactions ❤️

[@izzys1035]

[@Schnurpsy79]

I absolutely love your reaction! You made me laugh and cry at the same time. 😅

[@ysnc12]

Bruv your crying made me cry and made me remember every single moment i got this emotional in as well when i first watched it 😭🙈

[@NB-ot7vg]

Just found your channel today and you had me teary-eyed, you're such a sweetheart❣️ As a new subscriber, I'll be looking forward to joining you on your journey with the upcoming Heartstoppers Season 2! 😊

[@woofenme1596]

Hey it is totally cool and healthy to feel, cry, and love this. You know it and the great thing about this show is that for many LGBTQIA folks it unleashed some toxic trama from our past, we acknowledged it, and have been able to move forward more. This show is so affirming! Thanks for being true to yourself with video too! Hugs and I cried too!

[@mermaidfromthewakenitz1977]

One episode into the video and I loovvee that your reactions are as exited as mine were watching it for the first time and honestly the second and third time too lol.

[@MsMenoz]

Your sooo adorable we been all there with you. Sooo happy to see another heartstopper fan. Love you new subscribe

[@Mixxie67]

Aww...you're tears at the beginning of ep.2 got *me* teary eyed. I love watching the reactions of queer youtubers because it gives me so much joy. It's interesting watching straight youtubers and I'm glad they're doing it but the queer reactions are precious to me. I've been begging my daughters to watch this show. Tomorrow's my birthday (56). I should tell them I want them to watch this for my birthday. The problem is, I still owe the eldest a viewing of "American Psycho" from two Christmases ago. We're going to see the Barbie movie. And I'm hoping for some karaoke which I havent done since before Covid.

[@captaincl1]

You are such a beautiful romantic! I can’t believe you resisted this show for so long. It’s a beautiful experience that I’ve repeat watched several times now. Your emotions are beautiful to see pour out. Thank you for sharing that raw emotion with us. You have a stunning heart inside yourself. So happy to see a fellow romantic’s reaction. ❤

[@jamesmccarthy2655]

[@elizag4194]
