[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

From an interview I saw, it seems like he brought his own idea of what it means to be masculine and wanted that to shine through the scenes: to be masculine means to be open, have strength of character, and perseverance. (Not exactly what he said no doubt but sort of the gist of it.)

[@darktwistedlady]

@@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS I love that, he did it so very well too. So many young people are incredibly woke about these issues ❤ As a middle-aged cishet mother it warms my heart to see so many positive changes. I can barely watch old shows & movies anymore because I just can't stand all the normalising of toxic relationships & abusive behaviour. Love it for my trans bonus kid as well.

[@louisamalin893]

I just think this series is for everyone. I'm straight and I'm completely obsessed with the show. I've seen it twice already and can't wait for a second season. It represents what everyone wants, in such a warm and positive way - to love and be loved. I can't get over how cute everything is about this show. The relationship these guys have with each other but also the positive relationships and support network in their friends, teachers and family - I can't pretend to know how it feels to have grown up with the same challenges relating to sexuality and how that makes you feel about your overall identity, but I know that shows like this didn't exist 12 years ago when I was the same age as the characters, and for anyone who experienced judgment, as some of my friends did, I wish something like this would have been made sooner! This show made me feel so warm, not just in terms of the positive representation it brings to the LGBTQ+ community, but it also gave me major F.R.I.E.N.D.S vibes because the cast just had so much chemistry. It made me realise people weren't as nice or supportive to each other as they could have been when I was in school, and that makes me sad. but I think we've come a long way as a society since then and It's really nice to see that things are improving and awareness is being raised all the time. This show has represented the LGBTQ+ community in such a beautiful way, focusing on love, exploration and acceptance - and I love and respect that so much. I need more of this show. Ugh, I don't think I can wait for season two! 😩 I need more of this adorable couple. Nick, the golden retriever

Yes, I think the Nick character in particular models how to be a caring partner and what it means to have self esteem. So many times people get involved with others who are toxic for them, and this experience-his attraction to Charlie-wakens Nick to the idea that he needs to make conscious choices about his life, who he wants in it, and who he wants to be.

When I saw Heartstoper my heart melted. It was like seeing my high school story play in front of me. I was a male cheerleader and had a crush on the cutest boy in school the boy all the girls wanted and all the boys wanted to be friends with. It was the late 90s and early 2000s. We became friends and fell in love. We had to keep it a secret because it was a different time. I had my own Kit Conner and he was beautiful.

[@BellyJae]

I wish I had that. I also grew up in that time (graduated in 2003). I came out as trans in high school. I crushed on one of the most popular guys in school but it was never reciprocated. I did date a guy in school but like Ben, he was only using me and it was pretty toxic. And like Charlie, it made me feel so crap about myself that I felt everyone would be better off without my existence. So when Charlie had that scene with his sister at his drum kit, I sobbed hysterically because that hit right at home. 😭😭😭

I think it's very impressive that at their age they managed to portray such emotionally-mature roles and a bunch of kiss scenes.

@@georgiam.3957 of course he’s not too old. I never said he is. He literally is a teenager. I mean, there is quite a difference between a 16 year old and an 18 year old physically, but at least he’s not an adult. I’m more referring to having a 17/18 year old play a 14 year old. I mean, it’s a better choice then having people in their 20s play them. And I think they had to choose adults for the next season (the comics aren’t really appropriate for kids to act out). But people online are praising them for looking actually the age of the characters, without realising that they look nothing like what people that age look like. Which isn’t too big of a deal, but it does continue to perpetuate the idea that teens look likes young adult models.

The episode where “Nick” is looking more into being gay and all his thoughts about, it made me tear up as it reminded me of my teenage years where I went through exactly the same. I had a very open talk with my mom about not knowing and I asked her if I was ok and if she’d but ok if I came home with a girl and she said “I’d love you no matter and you’re just perfect”. To this day I still get confused, but have never been with any gender. My mom is not here any more and the rest of the family is very homofobic. My friends how ever is not and they know. Thank you for having made a show so educational and close to how it is going through the transform, being confused and worried about the world reactions.

@@oswald3845 Thank you ❤️ It’s ok 😊 Just unbelieveable that we’re in 2022 and people are still not aknowledging other peoples love if it is not “a man or a woman”. I know of gay couples in Denmark who still are afraid of kissing and holding hands in public, just because they are worried what can happen. It’s not the same for girls, but girls are more asked questions like “who’s the father to your baby?” “Don’t you think the baby need a father figure in h*s life?” etc. In away I think people often only see the stereo types - like the really girly gay or the really guy’ish lesbian - on tv shows, tv and movies, they think that all LGBTQ+ people are like that, where in reality most are just like you and me and that’s also why I love Heartstopper, because it portrays two “normal” teenage boys falling in love.

43 here. Cried throughout like a baby. I found the screenplay as it unfolded to be predictable, but I did not care. I was so invested. Kits performance in the episode 'Boyfriend' was AMAZING! He is a fine actor, and I look forward to seeing more of him as he further develops into a man in the future. That scene with Olivia Coleman at the dining table was one of the most heartwarming scenes I have seen. I wish that was my experience coming out. I was told the god invented Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve story. Times are different now. But still very difficult for many. For those LGBTI+ peoples emerging through self identification, I wish you all the luck in the world finding your place, finding your Nick, finding your Charlie, finding your people... For those who do not have supportive or understanding and loving family and friends, find strength in your respect and love for yourself. Steadfast! xo

[@daniromero5135]

I watched this show in like a sitting, couldn’t stop for a bit, is soooo beautiful, and being a bisexual myself is really nice how they portrait how troubled we can get, and specially how late we can realize it and that’s okey! I was boiling when Nick is telling Imogen how you sometimes do stuff cause people expects you to, and ALSO is like so relatable cause as Charlie I also feel most of the time, how my existence is troubling for the people I care 🥺😍 obsessed w it…I’ll probably most definitely make it my comfort rewatch show❤️✨

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

Indeed… it’s rare to see the amount of nuance he brought to the role with his expressions (I have never seen someone act with such realistic gay panic ever), which makes the story that much more believable and, as you say, something that you feel.

For me personally the best character was Charlie cuz i could relate to him a lot I've been in a toxic relationship like that and the anxiety around it was portrayed SO accurately always thinking if they even like you ,or are you annoying them, are they doing certain things just not to be rude, overall second guessing every nice thing they do for you. And seeing charlie go thru that and ending up with someone who actually likes him for him is just like a huge reassurance

I relate to him so much too! After being in a horribly toxic relationship I felt guilty getting involved with others that made me happy because I always felt I was dragging them down with my baggage. The way he constantly apologizes, feels like people are better off without him, second guesses everything, all of it hits so close to home. The scene where he talked to his big sister made me cry because I really understand how he felt. He loves Nick and the last thing he wants to do is hurt him so by creating distance he felt he was protecting Nick from himself. Ouch😭
