Kit and Joe talking about getting the smiley face Nick draws on Charlie’s hand as a tattoo makes me happy cry❤

[@roncaron8939]

as soon the question of tattoos came up, my first thought was "smiley face" i'm not surprised that joe said that. I choaked up when Kit agreed!

[@1800badbiz]

For some embarassing reason hearing Joe and Kit use Kizzy’s pronouns so naturally made me (as someone who has been struggling with pronouns) start crying

[@abbielopez98]

ME TOO!!!! It made me tear up as a person who also uses they/them pronouns and am struggling with gender identity…..they just used it so naturally and effortlessly

[@1800badbiz]

@@abbielopez98 exactly! no hesitation, so comfortable with it. makes me feel safe

[@abbielopez98]

@@1800badbiz right, same. I have absolutely no one in my family who respects my pronouns…so to hear people who just do it so effortlessly makes me feel so safe in my own identity.

[@j.genovese1769]

Wait the effortless they/them use for Kizzie… I don’t know how they identify but watching two cis boys do that made me smile, thank you!

[@verveine2241]

kizzy is nonbinary, and they do, in fact, use they/them pronouns!! i thought it was really cute too, you know, how natural it was for joe and kit

[@laylakenall6566]

what is cis? x

[@marziacalypso]

@@laylakenall6566 Cis is short for cisgender and means that a person identifies as the same gender that was assigned at birth

1:51 - Joe, "But it's not good to have a tattoo on your hand as an actor, so I'll have to get it somewhere else..." (Kit's shocked right eyebrow raise and trying to hold back his laugh from thinking dirty thoughts.) Kit, "Yeah, it will have to be somewhere a bit more private." Ooh... Hahahahahahaha 😆😂🤣

[@belmarshall9103]

this is such a small thing and also kinda the bare minimum, but as a non-binary person, seeing kit and joe use they/them pronouns for kizzy so easily made me smile :) this is how it should be!!

[@abbielopez98]

I feel this!!!! It’s literally the bare minimum but seeing two cisgender men just do it without even questioning it means so much.

[@luvcirii]

i use they/them too and gosh, i just.. wished my parents were like this 😭 they don’t know i use they/them but when i mention if they’d call someone that, they absolutely denied to so yeah, gonna be misgendered for a while then. sorry for venting lol

[@mikalmos369]

I will have to admit as a cisgender 2 Spirit gay man who didn't have gender identity at the center of my mind, it did take a little bit of effort to start actively keeping it in mind and using appropriate pronouns with whomever I was speaking with but I found it to be joyous finding another way to show respect and affirmation to another LGBTQIA+ person and reminded me that I'd like to be called 2 Spirit because I'm Native American. I couldn't tell you why knowing that about me that it wasn't always a thing to be gender affirming specifically as the beliefs I was raised with acknowledges multiple sexualities and genders but perhaps to the point where I took it for granted. Most people don't have that luxury especially in today's climate. It's a term that encompasses sexuality, spirituality, gender, race, and culture. The first time someone did this for me that wasn't part of that community really made me feel whole because I know they went out of their way to take a step forward that not only made me feel better but I know it also made them feel better in ways neither of us realized where possible. It's amazing how a couple of little words can make so much difference and take so little effort to make it part of your vocabulary and your mindset. I think it speaks volumes of the relationship that these cast members have with each other as friends and colleagues. It's astonishing how far a little respect and empathy goes toward healing our world seeing there's no skin off it anybody's ass to do so and even astonishingly more damaging if you don't. Luckily joy and hope are contagious.

[@onyxvc5993]

Kit Connor: only broke character a few times for the odd crack-up (but that's natural)

[@itsreallynotrj]

Love how Kit was just speaking for Joe on some of the questions 🤣

[@maddierogers73]

i know using someone’s pronouns is the bare minimum but hearing joe and kit use kizzy’s pronouns so naturally felt heartwarming :)

Alright, couldn't hold my laughter at 8:45 so I had to replay it.😁 I just love that Kit and Joe are unintentionally funny. Forward, when Kit spoke Pivotal moment, I was like: what? Kit is as well-spoken as Ross Geller.

This was really good, I like that it was longer than other interviews, and that we got somewhat different questions, but what's with the questions appearing on the screen for like half a second? Like yikes

[@Babygirlyouretheheart]

These were all clips on tumblr that I had to paste together and they all ended with that background music and the tumblr logo, I removed the logo and put the questions instead to make the video flow, but the bg music was really quick. If I made them longer there would be a lot of parts with complete silence, so I figured y'all can just pause it to read it lol

As a Korean Heartstopper makes me so happy and sad in the same time because there is literally zero positive LGBTQ+ representation on Korean media especially for teens…hope it gets better

@@user-mi6cl1nl8u i remember back in 2007 to 2010 when i taught middle school in South Korea. They didn't even talk about LGBT,yet if you were foreign looking at how close some of the boys were to each other you would think there were LGBT in school but hiding it.

@@fireball0762 yup there are LGBTQ+ everywhere in Korea…but they have to risk their social life forever to come out.

[@fireball0762]

@@user-mi6cl1nl8u which is interesting because when i lived there you would see behavior that would make people in the USA think two men were a couple. or two boys if they were students. I wish something like heartstopper was shown in the theater back around 2010, when i know it could have influenced my students

[@user-mi6cl1nl8u]

@@fireball0762 In Korea a lot of people do things that would be regarded ‘gay’ in the US(men taking care of their appearances, for example) but it doesn’t mean that LGBTQ+ rights are advocated in our country. It means that queer people are terribly hidden. Also, a lot if people here hate queer representation. If a teacher taught kids about queer rights or even showed something related to LGBTQ+, they would probably be pressured to resign.
