[@albanianblackbird8301]

As someone who has had an eating disorder and being out as gay and dealt with bullying, I really liked the way they handled those sensitive topics, I feel like a lot of shows don't really handle ED's all that well and sometimes can be a little bit insensitive. I think Heartstopper showed the signs of it really well. I love the show and love your reactions Ash!

the representation of how bullying can affect kids is honestly so accurate , as someone whose dealt with it and sees so much of myself in charlie. this show is honestly so great for young queer people, AND THAT LAST SCENE. i genuinely cant think of it without crying, the song used was perfect and its actually made by Tao's actor and his sister. soooo beautifullly made]

[@LunaWitcherArt]

RE: Darcy's mom Once I was talking to a colleague about kids (she had them, I didn't) and she asked me if I wanted them. I started talking about money, and worries, and she said "You won't have kids, you think too much. If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have had them either" and that single sentence punched me in the gut with the UNDERSTANDING of bad parents and why they exist. So many people just have kids because they think it's what they are supposed to do, or because they want someone to take care of them when you're older, or because they literally can't stop a pregnancy cuz it's illegal. They are either not ready or unwilling or just see it as a transactional thing, and they can't even understand how much they make their kids hurt.

[@human6180]

i totally agree. having kids needs to stop being the default. it needs to be chosen.

I adore that Nick is always saying he's bi. It's refreshing. I am so exhausted with bi erasure and biphobia that to have a main character of such a huge show constantly remind everyone...they came for my heart and soul tbh

[@rayrayl.4087]

I love that the show is beginning to shine a light on Charlie as a person. I think he was overlooked in season 1 by fans because everyone was so invested in the romance between him and Nick. But even in the beginning, the show displays symptoms of Charlie's eating disorder. If you look back, you'll see that Charlie hardly eats. I've read the graphic novels, but I'm really interested in how the show breaks Charlie's relationship with his parents. I'm not saying that his home life is bad (like Darcy's), but neither of his parents appear to be actively watching him. I mean, are they even aware about how bad the bullying was? The only person that appears to be in the loop is Tori.

[@syds8752]

There are little crumbs of this in season 2. Not only did they not realize that Nick and Charlie were dating, they seemed absolutely shocked by it. As if they didn’t realize how often they were spending time together. It’s really the mom who ends up giving Charlie the hardest time in the later books.

[@aas1926]

Couldn't agree more. S1 focused more on Nick's coming out and S2 for their romance, another character development like TaoElle, TD, Isc, Imo etc. Don't get ne wrong, I love them so much. But, I need season 3 to show more about Charlie's struggle and how Nick, family, and his friends will be there for him. In the end, it's Charlie himself who can help him. I can't stop crying. Imagine Joe as Charlie relapses in the graphic novel or from Solitaire. Also, we need season 4!

[@kphoria1009]

i think his dad tries to be involved, which is evident from season 1, but parents can be very oblivious

[@ghostjet]

Honestly, this whole show is so good at talking about important stuff. Consent, coming out and how it can be hard, mental health, self worth, bullying, self harm, ED, all while still being wholesome and cute. This show has helped me through all of these things and has helped me heal and so this show is always going to be close to my heart and I can't wait for season 3!

It's complicated because we've been conditioned to never question romantic attraction and it was lovely to see you engage with these ideas. This show helped me understand a lot about myself and how I relate to romantic love. Isaac wasn't my favourite character though. Alice Osman does an incredible job portraying this more complexly and (arguably) more beautifully in her book 'Loveless', I recommend anyone whose interested, or feeling a little lost by the lack of representation of aro-ace people, read it. xo

The last scene talking about self harm hit me so hard man, I just felt it in my soul.

[@hatchetflims1194]

AHHHH HAPPY BDAY MY LOVE

[@arielleaarons838]

That second to last scene hits so hard especially when you remember how Charlie said that he just doesn't want Nick to be bullied or feel as bad as he did. As a lesbian who was basically Charlie when I was a teen (has/had an ED, SHed, was bullied for her identity, had an ex like Ben, and a first love like Nick after) this season hit so close to home, and was also beautifully executed

[@user-qs9zm2wo1t]

Charlie does everything he can to make sure Nick is safe and protected even hiding his own trauma and pain until he breaks open. They both need each other. Sending you love and strength.

[@marzh5278]

Love this show and the happy pain it brings

[@human6180]

oh i love that, "happy pain" that's beautiful

​@ville__ I'll have you know that I, a non-binary asexual lesbian, reported one of your comments. Being gay/part of the LGBTQIA+ community is *not* a choice, nor is it a lifestyle. It is who people are born to be. I was born non-binary, I just didn't discover that until just a couple months ago. I was born asexual, I just didn't discover that until seven years ago. I was born a lesbian, I just didn't discover that until five years ago. I've said this once, and I'll say it again: being gay/part of the LGBTQIA+ is *not* a choice, nor is it a lifestyle. People are born this way, but it may (emphasis on the word "may", because many people have always known who they truly are, and that's okay, too!) take them a while to discover their true selves, like it did for me. So kindly leave this comment section, get a life, and learn from your mistakes of being a bigoted and homophobic jerk. Thank you.

I'm still recovering from the finale of this season. Especially that ending about Charlie's situation hit so damn close, i was a crying mess lol

[@juliaforggi1736]

This was the saddest and most beautiful season in every possible way, everything that was treated is so important and even so people didn't learn anything from it! they forced Kit to assume himself just like Charlie, it breaks me whenever I see him and he was just a kid

[@jlm1807]

As someone whose kids have a father who is as absent and uncaring as Nick's dad, I definitely warned my daughter about episode 7 before she watched it. Nick's conversation with his mom at the end of that episode hit me almost as hard as the end of the finale.

[@marit2907]

Thank you for being the internet mom we all need

[@lydiawalker0714]

22:35 Who else noticed that Loveless by Alice Oseman is in the background of this scene? The aro/ace foreshadowing was there!

[@justlurkingat8]

For me the show was so... validating. Reading and seeing Nick's reaction to Charlie's situation, seeing you call it what it is- trauma- just healed my inner child a little.

[@teeoginni8257]

me going through all the feels from this show with ashley is everything 😂

[@KadenStephenson]

Little fact!! Alice Oseman said the last scene of the final episode of Nick and Charlie took 7 hours to film🥹 she said this was the most emotional scene she has ever filmed and wanted to get it right. So it took 7 hours to film ❤️. As a gay man I love this show for so many reasons but also because it shows the reality of being gay,lesbian,trans,bi,asexual,etc and dealing with the things most people in the world don’t see or care about. Also btw I love you videos🥹❤️❤️

[@jcs1025]

I have literally watched the dinner scene with Nick and Charlie’s families a dozen times, and i just now noticed how Charlie’s dad gives him a little head nod to go follow Nick and see if he is ok. Well, I’m certainly not. 😢😢❤❤

[@MarissaCooperButPoor]

The acting and storyline in season 2 are just on a completely different level. Season one was cute, but season two is gorgeous.

[@lilyy7413]

The Charlie-not-eating thing is something i was picking up from season one. I noticed when tori was comforting him after the fight with Tao and she offered to make pizza but “he wasn’t hungry.” I remember thinking that that wasn’t the first time he made an excuse to not eat

[@alexis_grande]

I have never clicked so fast! I’m ready to relive heartbreak with you 😭😭

[@icklecalol]

you ending up hugging your chair at nick's sassy response on the eiffel tower is everything 😂

[@beckt333]

All my trauma would be healed if I could get a Nick Nelson hug

[@ashercharleston482]

Nick Nelson putting the bi in bicep

[@aalanis8257]

I related to this season a lot cause as a girl who is bisexual it’s hard cause I didn’t live up to the standards of being a girl like Darcy and had family members who brought me down from me being less girly then most and being bullied for most of elementary and middle school because I wasn’t straight and wasn’t to standard of being a girl and the mommy issues are something else it hit deep when Charlie said he started to hate himself after being bullied cause I related so much gosh but I mean people like Ashley are what we need she’s like a big sister to me she a once in a lifetime great person people are lucky to be in her life and she’s helped me so much I wish the best for her in everything

[@Hannah___]

[@leaa.6668]

[@whyareyoustraight4413]

[@allegra3500]

Imogen rlly said, I’ve been turned 😭

[@liyahlondon582]

YOUR LITERALLY THE BEST ASH I’m obsessed with the new set up I love seeing you pace around 😭🫶

[@alexandrafrench]

there’s a few flash forwards in the comics and they do spend their lives together!!! they even adopt a puppy! on tapas the first flashforward is super early so it’s nice to know from the start how endgame they rlly are ALSO, there’s a bunch of aus throughout the comics, (pride and prejudice, flower shop au, detroit become human) and there’s a specific scene where nick says that “they’re destined to find each other in any universe” and it WRECKS ME EVERY TIME

[@a_gurl596]

Ashley’s reactions in this part are PRICELESS LMAOO 😂❤❤
