Heartbreak High (2022-).
@lgbtqcreators creator meme - 6 lgbtq+ platonic character dynamics (4/6) - Quinni Gallagher-Jones & Darren Rivers
Also love how they paired a masc, drug dealing, straight presenting/passing man with a queer femme nonbinary person and there wasn't a talk had about it. They just liked each other as each other.
darren’s mom kicking them out because their queerness is ‘too much’ for her to handle in 1x01 vs. quinni asking them in 1x07 if she’s too much and them going, “yeah. but you’re my too much” — because the greatest act of love, in darren’s book, is to let a person be unequivocally themselves in their presence, and cherish them all the more for it. because that’s not what they got at home, so they want to be that safe place for other people, i-
heartbreak high rant - spoilers ahead
let me just start off by saying I absolutely love this show (have watched it twice already) and I cannot wait for season 2.
- this show is one of the rare ocassions where i adore the main character so fucking much - amerie is the main girlie of the main girlies.
- i love malakai and thats besides is charming smile and good looks. i think he's genuinely a very likable character and we also get to see his vulnerable side/insecurities and difficulties and i love that despite everything he's still a good guy.
- don't know if this is deemed unpopular but im my humble opinion dusty and harper were a good couple UNTIL they did what they did to malakai.. i do think they took advantage of him and honestly after that i could not stand to look at them at all.
- harper shouldve also eventually been held accountable for the map.
- i cannot lie and say i have any love for harper (in the beginning she was so annoying and did many fucked up things) but i do feel bad for what she went through with those boys and her father and i am glad she was finally able to open up and rekindle her friendship w amerie.
- spider should have stayed the way they depict him in the last episode cause he was sweet to amerie but I GUESS what happened in amerie's room was a punch at his ego so he started acting like a little bitch baby.
- CASH MY DEAR SWEET CHILD CASH!!! i want no hate towards this man or nothing had to ever happen to him. love him w my entire heart.
- cannot wait for more darren and cash in season 2 and i hope they can communicate more about they want, cash being ace and eachothers feelings.
- FUCK SASHA AND I HOPE QUINNI DOES NOT GIVE HER BITCH ASS ANOTHER CHANCE BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT DESERVE IT.
- i love quinni and daren's friendship so much. they are literally platonic soulmates.
- i feel bad for darren and their family situation - i feel like their parents should be there for them and show them that they care and shower them with the love they deserve!
- BACK TO THIS BITCH DUSTY. I LITERALLY CANNOT STAND HIM AND HIS COMMUNITY DICK HAVING ASS AT ALL.
- we need more of cash's nan in season 2 as well.
- the comedy and comedic timing in this show are golden and i found myself actually laughing as opposed to cringing as i usually do with shows that are geared towards gen z.
- ant i love him and he's funny but he needs better friends! lets get him on the malakai train and he can dump spider.
- OR we can get spider and ant less platonic more romantic iykyk (the scene in the office during the protest).
- for now though, i feel like amerie and malakai should stick to being friends, don't get me wrong i ship them but i think some space is what they need for now.
- MS. JOJO IS THE BEST UGH LOVE HER.
- did i mention i CANNOT stand dusty?
- srsly i cant.
- can we get malakai exploring his sexuality a bit more. thanks.
- missy's brother jai is an angel and i just wanna hug him.
- cash pls also drop your eshay friends!
- that's it? yea i think!
Me after I watch my comfort show (heartbreak high) for the 7,489th time
The world's never played by my rules. I've spent my entire life playing by your rules.
Heartbreak High as things i found on my phone
Bonus:
Quinni was the QUEEN this season
Her murder wall was amazing
The scene where she freaks out because everything is changing so fast
Keeping herself alive until the others can find her after being bitten by a venomous snake
Refusing to mask for several days just to show her friends (Darren especially) just how much different she is when not pretending even a bit
I love that her favorite books made a reappearance, special interests are so important
Everything with the school captain debate because of course she knows everyone at the school and her calling Sasha and Spider out was perfect
The little moments with her and Cash at the zoo (I'm an autistic Cash truther)
Her wanting to find Bird Psycho because she feels like that's the one thing she can do for Amerie
And she does
Queen of B&E
Asking Sasha to be her vice captain and Sasha thinking Quinni wants to get back together
Honestly I think working together might help Sasha understand Quinni a bit more and then I could see their relationship working out better this time if they do give it another go
