Thank you so much for watching my video! I did have to lower the volume of the show, flip the image and change the transparency, and do so much to it to avoid a copyright strike. My first season Heartstopper video was blocked twice so I had to make so many changes to this season's reaction video. I still got four copyright claims from this video haha but no copyright strikes fortunately, so I apologise if the volume is a bit low, it's why I had the subtitles on the screen so hopefully that helps ❤

[@Zencaste]

Hi there! Will this be available on Patreon without the watermark?

[@steventomlin1056]

I've enjoyed the way you wear your heart on your sleeve in your reaction pieces for both seasons. When you said something to the effect of "Bullies, this is what you cause." the only thing I could think of was "If only a bully would watch something like this." I watched this with my bestie (I'm 55 and he's 59 btw). The only reason our community (especially the Trans population here in the United States) is getting hammered on so hard is that politicians need to stir up their base about "cultural issues" as they have no ideas about how to make EVERYONES lives better with proper governance.

[@louisamaren2899]

The conversation with James and Isaac in Ep 7, the way James said "There is nothing wrong with you" and I was screaming yesss, and then he follows it with "you will find the right person" and I started crying, because it was so close to what Isaac needed to hear and then went completly wrong. No hate to James, he didnt know better, but please everyone stop assuming that love is the ultimate goal...😢❤

[@mjh8237]

“You’ll find the right person” that annoyed me I was like “James no!” But at the same time it’s SOO accurate to the aro/ace experience that I kinda loved it.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

This is why when I said I am so excited for Isaac to find someone it's not romantically, but someone who is also aro ace and can share their experiences and validate Isaac's feelings. He just needs someone to answer his questions right now and make him feel like he's seen and he's supposed to exist. Nothing romantic, just human.

[@louisamaren2899]

He just needs a Sunil in his life (Lovelsss refrence). No, but honestly I would have loved to see Isaac have more of a conversation with the aroace person at the art show, maybe exchanging numbers so they can talk later on, or something. 🥺

[@nanalove3819]

@@louisamaren2899 yeah but I think he just started questioning so it made sense to me that Isaac didn't straight up ask for this guy number, and the guy didn't know him so he had no reason to ask questions. Reading a book about it is a more Isaac thing to do. And I'm sure we'll get more in season 3 anyway. Maybe we'll have other a-spec characters, who knows!

[@eunoiia7213]

Omg imagine Sunil, Georgia and Isaac 🫶

[@daryanthelibrarian]

i am so emotional about the fact that kids will get to see isaac's story and know they're not alone because as a baby ace i also thought there was something wrong with me

[@sweetsustenance2825]

I am 42 years old and my recent exposure to Alice Oseman is the only reason I've stopped referring to myself as broken.

[@ccasserole5267]

I already commented this somewhere elese, but here is my take concerning Charlie's parents: My big issue with them is how they only show interest in getting rid of the surface level issues, but completely neglect the underlying root issues behind their son's behavior. It's pretty clear one of big reasons for Charlie being so overly invested in his relationship with Nick, and consequent self-neglect, is because of his unresolved trauma from the bullying. The show depicts Charlie's parents as evidently being at least somewhat aware of their son's situation (given their overprotectiveness) yet clearly not bothering to address these issues in any meaningful way other than belligerently restricting Charlie's autonomy. It is telling that Nick's mom notices Charlie's eating disorder while his own parents show no sign of knowing and/or acknowledging the issue at all. Expanding on this, notice how the show depicts Nick and Tao's moms's committment to open vulnerability and mutual dialogue is crucial to their kids healthily working through their issues. Conversely, the show depicts Charlie spiraling deeper into his coping mechanisms largely because of his parents acting exclusively in a domineering and abrasive way towards him. Rather than attempting to understand Charlie's situation and relationship with Nick through mutual dialogue, they cut him out from the conversation entirely and only speak down to him. It is entirely a valid response for Charlie to feel frustrated at his parents (even though he may not be able to fully articulate it) for perpetually neglecting the root cause under the rug in favor of covering up its symptoms. It's also worth noting that Charlie's self-neglect is arguably a reflection of his parents emotional neglect. Charlie admits to Nick and Ben that he has subconsciously internalized a lot of the bad messages he got when he was bullied, and the show's focalization of parenting illustrates how his parents, as well-intentioned as they may have been, unfortunately started feeding into his issues.

[@rozinamouz9286]

Perfectly said!!

[@RichardJenkinson-ib8te]

I did notice the look on Charlie fathers face when the mother banned Charlie from seeing Nick. He is more supportive of Charlie but is dominated by the mother.

[@magnoliaskogen]

Thank you!! They are treating him as if he deserves fewer rights and less autonomy simply because he is a child, while also not providing the emotional and psychological support all children (and people of all ages) need, which is unfortunately how many parents treat their children and how many adults treat children who aren't their children. Adultism is real

[@joerosenman3480]

One of the key job of parents is to raise their children to be independent. They failed parenting on that count. I don’t doubt that they loved Charlie but… Mom contributed to Charlie’s trauma rather than helping her son. She always made it about her-she clearly needed therapy! (contrast with Darcy’s mom, with whom I have no sympathy).

[@ThatsMyUsborneBook]

The fact that Will Gao's band (Tao's actor) Wasia's song You're so pretty is playing in that last scene of the final episode added to all my tears.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

That's his band's song?? Oh that's awesome!

[@gabrielathomas4783]

The last scene with Tara and Darcy NEVER fails to make me cry. I am currently in a relationship with the most beautiful woman in the world, but her parents are terrible people that don’t treat her right and don’t deserve her. I remember how difficult it was for her to say I love you, and I always felt this emptiness when I would slip up and say it. Now, we’ve grown so much and say it all the time, and I understand how important that is to her. So I am going to spend every second proving how loved she is, just like Tara did for Darcy.

[@NellasxElensar]

So happy that you two have each other, and that you got past that obstacle hand in hand 🤗

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The Apple Juice really played an important role in both seasons. It deserves some credit.

@@GavinReadsItAllDid you say that it was the Tyne? (sorry was watching your video whilst scanning photos at work lol). If so I spent a very enjoyable five years of my life living and working in that neck of the woods between 1997 and 2002 :-)

[@sadfaery]

I've come to the conclusion that Imogen is just attracted to bisexual people. First there was Nick, then Ben, and then Sahar? At least she actually knew Sahar was bi before crushing on her? Assuming that's what was happening in the prom episode. This was a great season, but that cliffhanger?!? I need more now!

[@aleeshawillow4017]

I KNOWWWW I ended the episode like internally screaming SEND IT! SEND IT! DO NOT END ON A CLIFFHANGER! And I don’t usually have that reaction 😂

[@n4musica]

Go read the comics! 🤩 I’ve read the whole thing a few times and that was the only reason I actually appreciated the cliffhanger. The real “I love you” moment is iconic so I’m happy they’re waiting till next season to do it! It deserves some space from the heavy note this season ended on. When it ended on the cliffhanger I audibly said “Good. Yes very good.”

[@fuzzydays5699]

She’s a “bisexual”-sexual.

[@jlake2247]

I kind of suspect that Imogen will turn out to be bisexual, and I wonder if that somehow is a factor that is unconsciously drawing her towards her crushes

[@Hillary429]

I feel like there is just so much Imogen doesn’t know about Sahar since their falling out, so seeing her in a band performing was yet another thing she wasn’t aware of. Haven’t read the books so this is all solely based off the show, but I think this will be a character that helps Imogen grow as a better friend and of course *ally* haha

[@AnnaIsntHere22]

The parents evening clip with Isaac and the "id like him to participate more" gave me war flash backs to my parents evenings cause as the quiet kid that is all that ever teachers ever said 😭

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I wish more teachers would work to a student's strengths. Obviously there will be some students who are extroverted and love speaking up, and others who don't. And that's okay! Isaac most likely makes up for being quiet in class with his work. Every child is so different and some teachers just want them all to be the same, it's disheartening.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Tori in this season is actually iconic ngl

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Yep, I was sad when she was hard on Nick in the tent but sometimes she's gotta be

[@0FynnFish0]

She always is!

[@aaliyahbrown5739]

the thing is, you can't even be mad at Charlie's parents cuz Charlie is too distracted by Nick. I mean he's LITERALLY sitting next to his parents while the teacher tells them that Charlie's grades are slipping, and what is Charlie doing: he's staring at Nick😭. I kept saying "Charlie, if you want to go see Nick, THEN JUST DO YOUR SCHOOLWORK"😭

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha okay I am SO GLAD it's not just me!! Parents have to be firm when school work is involved, so I do appreciate Charlie's parents for stepping in. We love our Nick and Charlie but we also want them to succeed at school too

[@aaliyahbrown5739]

@@GavinReadsItAll Yea and im saying this as a 20 year old, im barely an adult😭

[@tk_1412]

I mean, you can definitely be mad at how they handled it, not that they stepped in in general. setting strict rules and yelling at your child instead of just having a conversation about it and not being willing to listen to him isn't exactly ideal parenting. they're not being horrible, but it could have been handled better than it was

[@productjoe4069]

@@GavinReadsItAll I agree with the being firm, but I still have issues with how Jane goes about it. Her choice of language, tone of voice, and body language all convey that she has no respect for Charlie’s agency (which she could have even while disagreeing with his choices simply by listening to him first). Julio’s expression in the car shows to me that he’s aware her approach isn’t constructive but he doesn’t step in. So yeah, I’m a little mad at her because she’s not paying attention to all her child’s needs and focusing instead on how they make her feel

[@mujiescomedy279]

The thing is, it’s still better than when he was miserable the previous year? If I had a kid, I’d rather them be failing than hating themselves

i was anticipating isaac’s storyline the most and i’m beyond happy to finally see some representation for my aroace fellas. if i only had this when i was figuring myself out… that’s gonna help a lot of people and it warms my heart to think about that. the whole season is just so very heartwarming in general, i loved it. thanks for your reaction and thoughts! wishing you the best🤍

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I am so excited to see more of Isaac and his journey, it's going to be incredible next season too I can just feel it. So happy you got some representation - everyone needs that

[@nanalove3819]

I just love how you jumped scare when you saw Ben. Logical reaction. And I love thay Charlie said him this speech at the end of episode 7. If I remember, the speech in the comics is for Harry, I was a little disappointed to not hear it in the Paris episode but the way he slammed the door with "No" was so cool I didn't mind. And then I saw it was because they saved this speech for Ben and I was so happy cause it is perfect. People sometimes forget that we owe no one's an apology, and that having reasons does not mean ha ing excuses. I'm proud of Charlie.

[@ipurpleu1668]

Same! I think it was more impactful towards Ben than it was towards Harry! Loved the change!

[@mark99k]

I had the same reaction initially: how could they justify condensing Charlie's great smackdown to just "no"? But it was SO much better used to shred Ben (esp. with all the extra discussion that would not have applied to Harry). I used to think Ben and Harry were vaguely equivalent villains. Not anymore!

[@ipurpleu1668]

@@mark99k I liked it too because some of Charlie’s trauma is directly linked to Ben. It was never directly from Harry, Harry was more of a reminder of the bullying from the older kids. But Harry wasn’t someone who was originally a part of it all and contributed directly to the original bullying. So having this speech be for Ben made sooo much more sense and so much more impactful!

[@aaliyahbrown5739]

Tao and Elle are SO CUTE I WANNA DIE CUZ ILL NEVER HAVE THAT KIND OF LOVE😭 also its funny how Tao and Elle already acted like a couple before so like the only difference now is that they kiss😭🤭

What you're saying in the Sorry Chapter is perfect. It's so important for kids to understand themselves and to know how they feel is not wrong, they are not alone. The relief of knowing is so important ❤

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Exactly, and it has nothing to do with sex which is why parents / adults are offending themselves when it comes to LGBTQ+ content. All it's about is making sure children and teens who are lost are found.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Imogen is really iconic, hilarious and gives us many meme templates this season.

[@sarahann88]

I identify as ace and these programs need to exist to protect people, so we know we aren't weird or alien. I put myself through alot of trauma and unsafe relationships and situations just because I thought I was weird not feeling any sexual attraction to people growing up and still now, I just forced it because that was the "norm". It literally took me til my 30s to realise ohhhh I'm normal, I'm asexual. And seeing Isaacs story made me cry happy tears because we need this showing. For all sexualities. I absolutely love Heartstopper for all the awareness made 💜

So watching reactions to the 3 episodes I have watched so far. And I love the supportive teachers. Teachers often probably never know the impact they can have. I still remember my middle school teacher saying how sad it was when our state voted to make same sex marriage even more illegal and how he hoped our generation would be able to see the day it changed.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Love that, teachers really DO make a difference, and we need them on our side.

From Charlie’s parents perspective on the coursework thing, I’m like… if I just found out that my child’s best friend who’s been at my house everyday, having weekly sleepovers with my kid, and spending all free time with him was actually his BOYFRIEND the whole time, then immediately find out that all (not just one or two teachers) but all his teachers are saying he’s not as focused as usual and on track to FAIL? Especially since last season it’s implied Charlie was doing well. I would be like ahhhh… so you’re making out with your boyfriend in my house all day and your grades are slipping? No no. Time for some space till that lil coursework is done ya heard? But from Charlie’s perspective I’d be so mad! Maybe they could have given him a chance? Like two weeks to get it together while still seeing Nick and if it didn’t work then they’d ban them from hanging out?

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I agree with you completely, it's so easy to see both sides!

[@productjoe4069]

Wasn’t expecting the place I watched films growing up to suddenly appear in ep 3. The power of Heartstopper is so strong that it’s now reaching back in time to stalk my youth in ways beyond the emotional. And yes, it’s a cute cinema. It’s also implausibly successful given it’s in a village.

Thanks for your reaction, after binging s2 I was CRAVING to find out what others think. I loved everything about this season - from colors and camera angles to other characters' development and countless kisses our favorite boys've shared. I also love that even though there is some heavy stuff in the season, they're not focusing on it and show that there's always a way to deal with everything (through communication, community and self-care). ❤ For God's sake, even Charlie's mom is not that bad here (definitely better than Darcy's)! I am bi myself, from a very homophobic country (although I personally was never bullied, I'm not out to my family, only to my friends and co-workers) and I have no one who understands what I'm dealing with. Seeing that people from more "modern" countries are also suffering is both tragic (cuz duh, there are queerphobes everywhere) and a little bit reassuring - we're all not alone, and there's always a place we can call safe, even if it is just a fictional one.

I'm glad ur fighting the homophobia in ur first video and that you denounce these haters I love watching ur videos and love this video I'm so glad you reviewed this thank you and I'm glad for ur honesty

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you so much for your support, it's so appreciated

[@simararivera6170]

@@GavinReadsItAll thank you! 💖

[@jaimemo5893]

Still have to watch season 1. I was debating reading it first. Also, you holding your cats paw the whole episode was so cute.

[@just_bea_weird]

Go for it - both are incredible. If you read the Graphic Novel first, you'll see so many nods to it in the TV show that make your heart sing. Have fun!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Would 100% recommend the graphic novels, they are so wholesome

[@thebookishvalkyrie]

Ahh! So glad you did a season two react video!!! And so quickly after the drop! This is what I needed after I binged the season! Thank you!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Imogen works hard but I work harder

[@nanalove3819]

It's funny that you said Isaac should read Loveless cause you can actually see the book in one of the scene in the school library.

[@nyd3386]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I had to watch Heartstopper real quite because I was watching it at midnight :P Your reactions would have been my reactions if I could've made sounds. Watching this video made me feel like I'm watching the show with my best friend!! Thank you again, I could not stop smiling while watching this

[@davidkidd5252]

I messed up binging this!!! Should have waited for season 3, cute reactions from a handsome man!!! Can’t wait to explore your other content, I hope we get way more Tori and Issac next season!

[@savannahuranker]

I’m obsessed with this show and I can’t stop screaming about it.

[@Artractive_]

32:00 yeah i totally agree.. my parents are church pastors and my whole life and community that i grew up around was only church and religious people. I am almost 30 and its been a hard life, dealing with the turmoil and hate I received when people found out I am queer... I lost everyone, and they still attack me. Every day is rough im not gonna lie, but since I found my partner life has been a little easier. she loves me unconditionally and we just ignore the rest. It hurts that my family and the world we live in makes life harder than it should be, but unfortunately this is the world we live in.. we need people to be willing to love and understand more..I wish all the love and healing out there to my fellow queer family... you guys arent alone and I care and love you.

[@confessionofabookdragon]

This was an AMAZING SEASON! Even a little bit better then the first one. But the first one was just as AMAZING but this one edge up just a little bit. I love all of the character development and how we are getting more of them. I was worried about how they were going to introduce the eating disorder element from the graphic novels but they did such a good job. Isaac character development was one of my favorites. He is my soul fictional best friend. I honestly think we should have an Isaac in our lives. I can not wait for season 3. Also Gavin you are an inspiration and amazing person!!! I love your content and your personality keep giving us sweet, funny, outrageous content ❤

[@laurashepherd2479]

Great video but low key when you food delivery was in the river was the best part 🤣

[@jessicaelecta]

The "No, No, So?" in response to Ben saying "Well, what if I want him back?" was exactly how I reacted. Love the sweater!!

[@averylouise1024]

I didn’t want Charlie to send the message at the end!! We need the scene where he tells Nick while Nick is in the shower!! 😂

[@awpageofabook]

The amount of times I yelled "block Ben" at the TV...wow

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Hahaha same

[@Cory182]

In the final scene when Charlie was hovering over the send button, I was screaming NOOOO at the screen because that's not how it's supposed to happen! We need the "I love you" scene to happen the way it did in the books! 🤣

[@picklegurrl]

The way I don't want Charlie to send that text because I *need* the I love you shower scene it's just too iconic 🥰

[@gwydionknight]

I love that you were honest, I have read the books and some of these reaction videos when watching them they are pretending to not know anything but they can't hide the fact they read ahead lol

[@fozzymup268]

I just watched series 2 yesterday, really enjoyed it, so adorable! I love Isaac sooo much! Now have to wait for series 3! 💕

[@aaliyahbrown5739]

9:40 thats my favorite film too, i literally have a big ass poster in my room at college (or as yall say it uni)😭

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Haha I have a poster too!!

[@lefttrixx]

also matcha is definitely one of those drinks you’re iffy about at first, and then you keep trying it for some reason until you eventually like it😭

[@KylasCozyCorner]

Binged it and then came here to rewatch with you and it was EVERYTHING! 🙌🏼🌈 Love your reaction as well as education and input throughout this! Group HUGS! 🥰

[@TomBydand]

pausing to say, favourite subplot is your delivery driver seemingly turning into aquaman for a moment lol

[@rachelhesketh94]

When the exams part was getting Gavin stressed 😂😂 honestly same but worse because I'm an exams officer and I feel the stress on both sides 😂😂

[@leigholive976]

I haven’t watched this season yet, but I loved everything you said, especially in ep 7! I’m sorry people suck and think they’re entitled to define how other humans should be or who they should be. I love your videos and you deserve nothing but love ❤! Now onto binge the season 😂

[@ferchyzcv]

Omg!!! I do always do that... I see the word complicated and I sing it in my head lol

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Avril ruining the word for everyone... or would I really say it's ruined haha I love the song!

[@ferchyzcv]

@@GavinReadsItAll I mean ... It is kinda .... Complicated

[@pinksenshi9690]

Thanks for this. It was like getting to watch the show with a friend!! ❤

[@pauline28002]

your video is making my day so much better❤️ and thank you A LOT for what you‘ve said about isaac & asexual and generally queer representation and basically everything

[@pauline28002]

adding your support for trans* people to the list cause I‘ve just watched that part (I‘m cis but I need people I like to respect ALL queer people so it always makes me happy when they do (although it should go without saying but apparently it doesn‘t soo yeah thanks))

[@TheCozyHobbit]

Gavin is so sweet and cute. How have we not found him the man of his dreams?

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Being a full-time father now to two cats has meant I haven't had time for dating, but I gotta prioritise my children ❤

[@thecaffeinatedbookworm]

Loved the 2nd season just as much as the first. You introduced me to Heartstopper graphic novels... I read them all a few months ago and then watched Season 1. Loved that I didn't have long to wait for the 2nd season. :) FYI: Iced or Hot Matcha is best with Soy Milk. Otherwise, it tastes like dirt.

[@LeannesLibrary]

I was so emotional watching and reading Heartstopper🥰 I loved watching your reactions, Gavin. My teachers used to let me get my books out in class after I finished my work 🤭I was basically Isaac at school sans the lovely friendship group. I love his story so much

[@LeannesLibrary]

Also, I live for the Tori moments!

[@jordanjames7432]

Oh my. I loved this reaction so much. Your thoughts were so amazing. Thank you for doing this reaction.

[@insertname09]

the thing is i relate to darcy so much. i have an ok relationship with my mother, and i feel like if i were straight, then she would just love me with all her heart. but im not. and some part of her knows that, but she'll never admit it. i cant watch the ending of episode 7 without breaking down into tears, and i know that its because my mom would be exactly like that. it breaks my heart that my mom will never be fully excepted by my own mother, and it hurts me even more to know that darcy is going through the same thing i am

[@anime_edits281]

Episode 8 broke me i was happy that the cared about each other so much but I definitely cried

[@elizabethh9950]

I watched the whole series today and then your video this evening, I really enjoyed reliving it all already through your reactions:) Thanks for sharing your experiences with us too

[@EdRam24]

Just yo say: that green thing You drink probable from the river the delivery was, looks 😨😅. Love Heartstopper and your reaction.

[@booksmart_cass]

Amazing! Job well done! I was THERE for every Ben and David reaction lol

[@stryketheryke2057]

There’s definitely a conversation that needs to be had, so I’d like to start that conversation. It’s absolutely baffling to me that there are still so many people out there who truly believe that being any form of queer is a choice. I don’t get how some people believe there’s a choice, because who in their right mind would choose to be relentlessly bullied, harassed, and questioned? If I know that I will be verbally tortured, called names, possibly physically harassed, or even killed I would never choose to be queer. No one would choose that. I think there needs to be a lot more acceptance in the world and that’s why I love Heartstopper so much, because it shows a different side of queer representation than we get in most forms of queer media. At the end of the day there is no choice, we love who we love, and Trixie Mattel said it best. Being queer is not hard, straight people make being queer hard.

[@VintageSweetheart90]

Summer in blue has an ace main character! So clever that was he next fiction read!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I now need to pick that book up
