Heartstopper - S3E5 "Winter" - REACTION!

[@HarryAllen9]

Apologies for the long wait, I like to keep things in order and TVD has been a pain in the ass to get through copyright this week 😭 expect the next episode mid-next week!

Thank you for understanding charlie’s perspective of leaving christmas to go to Nick’s house. I’ve seen so many people hate on Charlie for leaving and although i also feel for Tori and i wanted him to take her with him, i don’t think people realize the stress and mentality that Charlie was in in that moment and that he just needed to get out😭😭

[@HarryAllen9]

Yeah I don't get that, it was basically an 'I need to escape or I am going to explode' rather than him just simply dismissing her cause he wanted to see his boyfriend

So, this episode is, for the most part (and for the most part I mean just Christmas day), an adaptation of This Winter, a really short novel of Alice. You probably have it already, and I recommend reading it! It has a ton of skipped information and cool dialogue, as well as being narrated from the point of view of the 3 Spring siblings, so you'll get to see a bit of Tori's perspective on things. Personally, I found a lot of cute details this episode thanks to reading This Winter, such as recognising some minor characters that went unnamed in the adaptation and knowing some of the stuff that happened off-camera at some points

Hells yeah I am so excited to read it! Especially with christmas coming, gonna be perfect timing

[@adva1282]

@@HarryAllen9 Neat! Will you tell us your thoughts on it when the time comes? I'd love to hear them! Same goes for the other novels, too. They're just sooo good

I love that they gave Tori more to do this season. One of the things that blew me away this season was the incredible chemistry between Joe and Jenny. They’ve always had it, but this season turned it up a notch.❤❤

[@HarryAllen9]

THEY WERE SO GOOD, I just need some more exploration of Tori now as I worry so much about her 😭

[@luvroger2]

I like how you reframed I’m a burden to oh you’re hurting? I want to help you feel better instead of being a bother. Great review and your comments are so helpful too thank you

[@Malekai2000]

Jenny Walser, (who plays Tori) is during such an AMAZING job this episode (as usual!! 😊). Another great reaction from you Mr. Allen!! 😃

[@HarryAllen9]

She is FANTASTIC! Especially considering how little we got of Tori in S1 & S2, I loved her so much even then

[@alexchris13]

just came to say that this thumbnail is 10/10 good job king ;)

[@HarryAllen9]

I have to say that as unrealistic as the skill is with which these kids talk about their emotions, I agree with you - I prefer it over the "realistic" narratives we usually see. Because people - not just kids their age, but anyone watching this - deserve to see a good, positive, healthy way to talk about some of these things. Not just the willingness to talk about it, but some actual things to *say* during those conversations that they might not have thought of. Queer narratives in particular are so important to depict in media for exactly these reasons, and I will take a show that maybe gives us an idealized narrative that can also provide folks a healthy starting place to discuss some of these things over the sort of narrative that is maybe more realistic, but just not helpful.
