Imogen Heartstopper - Tumblr Posts

im praying that we get a third season of heartstopper because its such a real show... it shows the queer teen AND adult experience in so many ways... we have charlie obviously who knew for a while he was gay and got outed something a lot of people suffer through... nick who goes through a big gay crisis and slowly finds out hes bi and becomes comfortable with his sexuality... theres depictions of homophobia and the problems of homophobic parents/families.... we also have elle and her journey as a trans woman and how she comes to terms with herself.... tara and darcy have, though a little more in the background, a journey of coming out, leaving abusive households, and showing the world their love.... and we have isaac<3 im not ace or aro or aroace but judging by my friend's reactions, his depiction in the series was accurate and his journey is so special, i love so so much... and before i forget mr farouk who didnt realise his sexuality much later in life and mr ajayi who knew for a long time and how he helped mr farouk and their journey... and of course tao (my love<3) and imogen and so many other people... it shows allies and homophobes turned allies, it adresses mental health, teenage friendships and the rollercoaster that is highschool, and so many other real life problems like oh my god this show is everything to me and i NEED a season three

i’m not saying “imogen i know what you are” i’m saying “imogen it’s okay if you like girls and were using ‘im an ally haha’ bc you felt like an outsider among queer friends only that you weren’t actually an outsider in that way you just hadn’t realised it yet-”

Imogen is actually such important “annoying girl” rep.

She’s loud, feminine, and dresses up every day. She’s touchy, clingy, and she’ll make a scene. She can be flaky, dramatic, and put her foot in her mouth. But she’s also big-hearted, enthusiastic, supportive, and you KNOW she gives the best hugs.

And she deserves love and respect and community just as much as everyone else in the show.

I’m always worried about being “too much.” I think a lot of women and queer people are. To me, Imogen represents that even when you need to work on yourself, even when you’ve hurt people, even when you say embarrassing things, you’re not “too much.” Your mistakes are just louder because you’re louder. And that’s okay.

You’re just a human being and a probably a pretty good human being at that.

when I tell you I screamed when I heard Fitz and the tantrums in heartstopper season 2.

i call every character gay so really it's just inevitable that i was gonna be right eventually

thats how it feels to say i told u so about imogen from Heartstopper being a lesbian

something about even a broken clock is right twice a day

Now, listen. Heartstopper has given us so much good representation. We’ve gotten gay rep, bi rep, lesbian rep, trans rep, even aro/ace rep (and I believe some enby rep but I’m not sure). But I think it could be even more. Because now that we’re being shown inklings of Imogen being a little bit fruity, I think it’d be great if we got some pansexual rep.

Like, it’d be so good. As far as I’m aware there aren’t any pansexual characters in Heartstopper (yet!), so I think Imogen would be the perfect character to have that arc with
