Me, Watching Heartstopper, Knowing Fully Well That I Didnt Get A Chance To Have Those Cringe High School

me, watching heartstopper, knowing fully well that i didn’t get a chance to have those cringe high school experiences:

i honestly love the trend to dress up in silly little outfits for events like going to a movie or a concert. like yes besties go all out on that eras tour outfit. dress up in pink from head to toe for the barbie movie. love to see it

we heard u loud and clear babe ♥️ @taylorswift

Ok but the fact that someone from the Heartstopper team had to reach out to someone from Taylor Swift’s team. Like hello yes queen goddess Taylor, may we please use one of your songs in our little queer Netflix show?

And then she said YES

I love how much Heartstopper emphasises queer COMMUNITY and how important it is to see other people like you. Nick finding the courage to hold hands with Charlie after seeing an older gay couple. The rainbow ocean reaching out to Ben at the queer art exhibition. Coach Singh telling Nick about her wife and promising to protect him from homophobes on the rugby team. Nick watching Tara and Darcy kissing on the dance floor and realising he can be both happy and queer. Elle meeting other trans people at the art school and feeling at home.

Heartstopper constantly shows that surviving as a queer person is a group effort and it’s not only accurate, but comforting to queer youth. It’s a plot point that only a queer person could have the conscience to write.
