Heartstopper EP1 Alice Oseman Bisexual Reacts Courtney Jai

[@trudioseman2602]

I’ve watched a lot of reactions (obviously being Alice’s mum) but yours is my favourite. I’m so glad you were invited to be in the show.

[@Courtney-Jai]

I can't thank Alice enough I only found out yesterday that she picked me because she watched my channel I feel so grateful, I'm so happy for her its just amazing to be apart of its something I would have loved at 14 and so many kids will now have something to guide them and not feel alone 💖.

[@Courtney-Jai]

All quick question what's alices favourite coffee place she going to sign a copy of the book for me , but I wanted to surprise her with a thank you card with a little gift card for a coffee so she can treat herself for being so amazing. 😊

[@adamczarnecki1630]

I would also recommend the reaction to the episode 1 (and following episodes) of "Heartstopper" by Harry Allen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3q4g4aDrNuYo6c

[@calg2041]

You should be so proud of Alice and how she’s helped so many of us deal with our own personal issues - even in our 30’s!!!! I cannot thank Alice enough.

[@sheldongenealogy]

@@Courtney-Jai This is so funny! I just found you and watched your react video to Red, White, and Royal Blue and was thinking to myself - "he looks a lot like the guy explaining bi-sexuality on Heartstopper". Now I'm searching your other videos and yes! It was you! So cool!! Love your content :)

[@Courtney-Jai]

who would want to see my outakes of my scene that didn't make it into the show , also I could show my original script and how different it is from the final video.

[@hyungwonniebebe6576]

all of us!!!! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

[@lightseeker40]

When I saw you in the show I literally freaked out 😂 you were one of the people that helped me accept my sexuality six years ago. And seeing you breaking the fourth wall was amazing, like "I know this guy: he helped me and now he is gonna help Nick!" I take this occasion to thank you for your support and for all the nice moments you give us through your videos by just being yourself 💜

[@Courtney-Jai]

Awwwwww ❤️ thank you for all the support you guys give me without you guys being amazing I would never have been in this position

[@ExElliexE]

It's so cool that they incorporated actual youtubers!

[@Courtney-Jai]

Yeah I actually spoke to Alice she chose me because she had watched my channel , which is amazing because she could have chose anyone I mean it's a Netflix show who wouldn't want to be apart of it

[@ExElliexE]

@@Courtney-Jai That's genuinely so cool. It's probably because you have very nice, and well-organized videos (in my opinion anyway lol)

[@KnightofEkron]

Conclusion: protect Charlie at all costs, no matter how many Apocalypses one has to cause.

[@edliwolfstar]

I have watched this show twice in a week and I don't regret a single thing about that

[@Courtney-Jai]

Yeah I'm watching it and reacting to it then I'm going to watch it again with april , my friend joey loves it

[@edliwolfstar]

@@Courtney-Jai It indeed is amazing. I had the same with Young Royals honnestly

[@legok6037]

I loved the series and felt really proud that bi kids (and gay kids too) are going to have this kind of representation! I'm a bi woman who grew up in the US, so some of my experiences were different from Nick's, but a lot of moments really resonated with me. We've been erased and ignored for a long time, so it makes me really happy to see characters like Nick represent my identity and experiences.

[@Courtney-Jai]

Makes me happy to , means alot to be apart of the series

[@jorgeluisfigueroarojas9177]

When I saw you in the episode. I literally died of excitement. It’s about time we talk more about bisexuality and all the diversity. Love your content. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Courtney-Jai]

Its such Ana amazing feeling to represent bisexuality on such a big scale also make me feel like nick is my baby now

[@timothyxosullivan]

My favoirites are Nick and Tao, because they call out homophobia. I actually want to be like that. I absolutely hate homophobia.

[@Courtney-Jai]

Yeah I have to admit quite a few times I've had to call it out , my friends tell me off because sometimes it's all the trolls want. I just can't help it I see stupid comment I going to show that person how stupid they are

[@timothyxosullivan]

I sometimes think it is the role of the bisexuals to stand up and call out homophobia. I think its because we are able to live in both worlds...gay and straight.

[@G1NZOU]

This, and Nick and Tao, while different, really stand up for Charlie in different ways, but both care for him a lot.

[@asherikamichaela8425]

​@@timothyxosullivanEh, speaking as a pan individual, I don't think assigning "roles" to people is good at all. Especially when it comes to things like this. I mean, I get where you're coming from (I totally call that bs out myself any chance I get), but us "living in both worlds" (which we don't btw) doesn't automatically make us the ambassadors of the LGBTQIA+ community. We can choose to do so, of course, but not everyone is comfortable doing something like that.

[@Courtney-Jai]

who's your favourite heartstopper character , I'm absolutely loving Charlie he's so adorable.

[@ryanwalter9109]

It's a tie between Charlie and Nick. Charlie is easy to relate to and you can feel the emotion and the authenticity of his experience. Then there's Nick who despite putting on a heterosexual façade still calls out homophobia. Nick's discovery and coming out process is absolutely adorable and the way the characters interact is perfect. Kit and Joe did an amazing job bringing these characters to life.

[@BeautyMonster1000]

Nick because he's a bisexual man who goes through lots of the same experiences as I went through as a bisexual woman when I was younger. He's just so relatable and I love his relationship with Charlie so much!

[@วิ่งไปซาร่าคุณต้องเชื่อใจผม]

Tao Xu He’s such a good friend

[@dot6200]

Charlie for me too 🥺🥰

[@jamesjackson8292]

Charlie is such a cinnamon roll

[@pjnorthbay]

This series is so many emotions for a lot of lgbtqia+ people that spans the ages tbh and I'm very happy they have renewed it for two more seasons!

[@Benpg93]

I remember watching a different KZbinr coming out as bi, it was one of the key moments in my journey and extremely emotional. I'm glad they depicted Nick finding you in the show because it was exactly what I did. We may not have had this show growing up, but I am so happy it is out there for kids and anyone really who may be struggling with understanding themselves.

[@Courtney-Jai]

I think its great showing another way of approaching an understanding of your sexuality , I feel very proud and lucky to be apart of something so amazing

[@clairemacdonald6428]

I watched with my teenage son, he initially came out at 11, I suggested he give it some time and then at 13 he said he was definitely bi. He knows O love and support no matter what. This show and your channel are amazing for everyone, but especially the LGBTQ+ community. I also loved how the show allows the characters to express their emotions. Keep up the good work ❤️

[@Courtney-Jai]

Thank I'll keep trying best ans say congrats to your son from me he's should be very proud from one heartstopper to another.

[@pinksenshi9690]

I watched this with my 11yo daughter who came out to me as pan last year. We binged the whole thing in 2 days. I love that it is such a great springboard for conversations, is family friendly, and is so uplifting and heartwarming. I've already read all of the graphic novel as well and can't wait for more. So grateful for this show!!

[@hannahhowden8980]

New heartstopper fan (how) and my first time here on your channel. As someone who’s bi and in their later twenties, watching this show honestly feels like a form of therapy. Almost like they’ve validated so much of my own high school experience that was a major source of stress and specific genuinely traumatic experiences along the way. I didn’t realize how much those experiences are still with me until I watched Heartstopper. My heart is just so full, I am so thankful that this story is out in the world and that there are creators like you sharing their experiences and being so open and supportive of the queer community

[@Courtney-Jai]

Well I'm just happy the show is helping so many people it was a great privilege to be apart of it and be what I never had. ❤️

[@amycope7970]

I can’t believe how many tears I’ve shed over this show the past week. First while watching it. Then while watching reaction videos. Then while reading reviews or posts where people talk about the impact it’s had on them.

[@Nate_dg]

To everyone here in the comments. Remember this video when Courtney blows up, and you'll be able to say... you were here!

[@BeautyMonster1000]

I was sooo happy to see you in the show! I freaked out! You were one of the many people I used to watch back when I was still in the closet and your videos brought me lots of comfort to make it through that point in my life until I was finally ready to come out as bisexual. You and your videos are part of the reason I felt strong enough to do it. You definitely deserved your spot on the show! ☺❤

[@Courtney-Jai]

That warms my heart thank you so much , I'm just happy I could help you 💗 💓

Just passing by to say thank you, you made part of my way to be easier to live. THANKS XO

Great to see your reaction on this....I too wish I had content like this when I was a teen cause I go even farther back so to speak...gasp..the days without cell phones at all...my gawd! LOL

[@Courtney-Jai]

Well it's was amazing to be invited to be apart of thr show and I'm really happy everyone is enjoying it.

[@confessionofabookdragon]

One of the things I love about Heartstopper is that how Nick and Charlie's relationship starts out as friendship and it grew into something beautiful and it did not seem rushed.

[@G1NZOU]

Absolutely, it feels so natural when Nick starts to gradually realise that while he began the relationship as a friendship he realises he has romantic feelings for Charlie.

[@BrownsBacker]

There is no way you could imagine how iconic this show would be....and to be a small part of it is wonderful! I'm hoping this is a beginning of the end of the movie trope that gays have to be sentenced to unhappiness or tragedy.

[@Courtney-Jai]

Thats would be nice and yeah I thought thr show would do well didn't realise it would be this big

[@BrownsBacker]

I've seen a crapload of gay films... none have affected me so viscerally. And I don't know why, except for the simplicity and earnestness...and feeling understood. Lol....

[@lucthin6245]

I really love this show. I binged watch it twice already and will watch it more time. It is so innocent and contain a positive representation of a bisexual person which is hard to find as well. I can see you are all teary eyes about it. We all needed this show growing up. It's no late for me but I am glad future generations will have this sweet and innocent show. I hope you are able to film your meeting with the actors.

[@smallvillesuperman88]

So crazy to think that something replaced Love, Victor for me in terms of just a heartwarming experience, but this show does it so effortlessly. Now I'm just rewatching constantly w reactors and buying the novels. 😅🙆‍♂️ I'm happy both shows exist, but didn't see something else knocking it down a peg so quickly. The setting is so refreshing.

[@tallactordude]

There is so much about the show that I love that one comment simply wouldn’t contain it. I think one of the things that is most likable about it is that it touches on serious issues without ever becoming a downer. Even when something doesn’t go well, it’s not long before things are put right again. And I have to say I am impressed with all of these young actors, many of whom have never done anything like this before. The performances are so spot on and truthful. I can’t begin to count the number of times my eyes were welling up at the same time I was smiling as I watched this series.

[@OLDS98]

You were are touched by this program. You can see this. There is nothing wrong with that. It was your emotions and just how you relate. That is great you had the experience to be a part of the show. Just imagine how many people are touched by your experience. You were indeed touched.

[@Courtney-Jai]

Aww thank you it was a great experience

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

Yes, I relate to the Bi panic and confusion. (I only became attracted to boys when my hormones kicked in and it was confusing because I figured I was a lesbian at a young age.) I think the idea that we not feel forced to choose a label is important. I labeled myself bisexual because I’m physically attracted to women and men pretty much equally and as intensely. However, over time, I realised I only have romantic feelings for women. I don’t rule out the possibility with the opposite sex, but given a long history, it’s unlikely. We know there are people who don’t experience romantic feelings and so it’s within the realm of the possible that there are many of us who have only same sex romantic feelings but are sexually attracted to men and women or are pan in terms of attraction (and vice versa). Romantic feelings and attraction are not one in the same.

[@purpledaydreamer9682]

I new it was one of your Videos as soon as I heard your voice in the show. I thought it added a lot of authenticity. Nick was doing exactly the same things I did in early stages of figgering out my sexuality. Incredibly relatable So happy for you that you get to be in this wonderful show! :)

I watched the episode you're in today. It was a great little cameo and I think your video was perfect for helping Nick come to terms with being bisexual. I love this show so much and usually have a lot of laughs and tears during pretty much every episode. It's resonated so much with me, just like the books, and I honestly wish they'd all been around while I was growing-up as there's so much I relate to. Sadly, I wasn't lucky enough to be "out" at school or have a boyfriend like Nick (God knows, I wish I had! Especially as he could've saved me from the bullies!).

@@Courtney-Jai I've been thinking a lot about the show since I last saw it. It's difficult to not think of it. The combination of cast, characters, lighting, music, and story are captivating. There truly is nothing like it on TV at this moment. With that said, I have also been experiencing a profound sadness after seeing it. I'm happy for the teens to see this, but when I see this it makes me feel I missed out. I never had what Nick and Charlie had and won't ever because I'm in my 40s now. One may assume, the way I am talking, there's no special guy in my life. But I've been in a committed happy relationship for 19 yrs. I think it's a sense of loss that cannot be fixed so easily.

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

I think I had a pretty easy time with my phase of realizing I'm queer. I was lucky and didn't get bullied, despite that most people probably thought I was a lesbian. If I hadn't found fanfiction, I think it would have been far more difficult to be comfortable with the concept of homosexuality. Fanfic used to be an obscure hobby that most people had never heard of, so I could have easily never come across it. If I hadn't had fanfic, a show like Heartstopper would have been so helpful. And TV shows have far more social impact anyway.

the way you talk about things and your experience is very good because many need it. they need to know they are not alone, they are not the only ones who feel that way. someone who understands not condemns. someone who has really done it and will help others to do the same

[@spillintea683]

I screamed when I saw your video omg so happy for you x

[@KnightRaymund]

watched the first 4 last weekend. will watch the other half next weekend. I love it. I hear you and wish there was mote like this when I was a kid. come a long way in 20 years but still aways to go. things are pretty good in Canada, but not perfect. but then you look at the rising transphobia in the UK, the attacks from the right in the US and more....

[@Courtney-Jai]

All we can do is stand up against it I suppose , also I look forward to seeing you in episode 6 then haha

[@MelaniesMuses]

Found you from the show! Fabulous

[@Courtney-Jai]

Awww thank you so much

[@nobutheyonyou7990]

When i was watching the show i thought i recognised your voice on the KZbin video Nick was watching and then it actually was you

[@Tiedye6336]

Courtney-jai after each episode that you react to you show ask us a question about that episode you react to! Also once you get done with reaction to all of the episodes maybe you could do a q&a about hearthopper or a video telling us your experience of being part of the cast..this will be a fun reaction

[@Courtney-Jai]

Thats a really cool idea I actually have some funeral stuff to talk about aswell everything from my script to how I was cast

[@najeebirfani]

My sweet dude Courtney hopefully you would be fine,i really enjoy your beautiful comments reaction on homey video stay safe blessed with happiness

[@cliffordbishop933]

I knew It was you so excited. Was watching you viewing Red White and Blue and I thought immediately that u looked familiar. And wondered if u were the guy on Biseuality video and I was right.

[@Courtney-Jai]

Haha yeah thats me I've been making videos about bisexuality for a long time now

[@jackdjd-tech]

Omg no way, this video is so cool

[@peterford5644]

I love your reaction and would love it if you released full reaction videos on your Patreon page.

[@Courtney-Jai]

I mean I can Start doing that if people would want that , I can do that for the last 2 videos as I still have to edit them

[@peterford5644]

@@Courtney-Jai I realize that you have to make choices when editing and really enjoy your point of view and would like to see more.

[@Courtney-Jai]

@@peterford5644 well ofcourse I can I'll put the next 2 episodes up on there with it all being cut down

Hello! I'm new to your channel, and I just found out that the youtuber of the show is a real youtuber! I thought he was an actor😂. After watching the show many times, I just want to say a couple of things: 1) The importance of Heartstopper for the lgbtq+ community of having a healthy, beautiful and real representation. I am very happy that you are too, I celebrate it very much. 2) The importance of the positive impact I hope it will have on the world. I will never approve of any kind of discrimination or hatred towards queer people. I hope that more people who watch Heartstopper realize that they should not be like Harry and his friends, that it is not okay to bully. In the show, Charlie suffers bullying and I started crying when he says that "he is already used to it." I felt Nick's frustration and sadness when he replied "that he shouldn't be used to it and that no one has to say anything to him for the way he is." He’s SO right! Tara 5 minutes ago was the most beloved in school, and when she came out, the girls started bothering her, why???? She’s still the same adorable person!!! And last but not least, hopefully more parents will take as an example the reaction of Nick's mother (Olivia Colman 💘) in that wonderful final scene when Nick decides to came out to his mom and she responds with love, respect and support. This series is very educational in many ways and I never tire of sharing it everywhere, with the hope that with more love, respect and empathy we will live in a better world for everyone. Obviously I have to highlight the wonderful work of the actors, the performance of the entire cast was 10/10, I believed them absolutely everything they told in the story. A huge applause for Alice for creating all this. The soundtrack, the animations and the lights very good. Also, I'm a sucker for romance, so now Heartstopper is on my list of favorite movies and series.

[@Courtney-Jai]

Well I'm happy you enjoyed it so much , I feel very proud to be apart of such Ana amazing show

[@dramoneikiel]

Yesss when I saw you I screamed and paused the show. I was like wait! I watch him !!😂😂😂

[@Courtney-Jai]

Haha I can't wait to react to it see all you guys in comments its gonna be so fun as when the video the goes up I have a live chat

[@dramoneikiel]

Can’t wait for this video

I watched all of them in one day! Lol ❤ Saw that he watched your video! I was like ooohh

[@simona1789]

One of my first phones was also a Sony Ericsson flip phone lol

[@isaacevilman7586]

Since you canonically exist in the Heartstopper universe, does that mean this video exists too? Is this like how in the Nickelodeon Teen Sitcom Universe (what do you mean it has another name? No one has EVER called it anything else) basically every show exists in the same universe they happen in. Like how Cat can watch an episode of Drake & Josh and then have Hellen from Drake & Josh be her principal.

[@Courtney-Jai]

I suppose so hahah

[@richardrosas6185]

Heartstoppers love it watched 3 times already .

[@Courtney-Jai]

I'm vet happy you liked it

[@rjshipp]

Love the show and particularly appreciate your commentary!

[@BrianNeal]

Those 2 seem to be taking the gay community by storm right now. Theyre very amazing and show what relationships like that should go. Its almost like Disney's Andi Mac on steroids! I wanted to see another season of that so TJ and Cirus could've grown into that instead of the series ending with them finally getting together! This series kind of goes where Andi Mac chose not to go!

[@Courtney-Jai]

I'd say the show is taking the queer community by storm seems its representing bisexual, homosexuality and transgender at least up to thr point where I've watched which I think is great , I feel very proud to be apart of the show.

[@DADDYART1]

This show is so good that I went thru all 8 episodes in 3 days and I don't usually watch that much tv. Lol

[@rutheino5280]

Same

[@erikperhs_]

I watched it all at once... It's just 4 hours long haha I usually binge seasons, even if it was 8h of content I would still have watched it all in the same day

[@Courtney-Jai]

Not really I have a terrible memory I like the idea but I don't know if I would be any good at it
