I feel like Tori would say it ironically, but then get annoyed when someone else says it unironically
Tori Spring would hate the word 'slay'.
It's crazy how Alice creates the most diverse but also relatable characters. There are characters of different sexual orientations, different races, genders, mental illnesses, family life and eating disorders. They're all so different??? but there's something that binds them all together. For example, I relate to Tao and his love for films but I also relate to Georgia with her loyalty to her friends, and I relate to Tori but I relate to Frances and her obsession to do well in school and not be a disappointment, but I relate to Lister but I... They're all different, but there's something so familiar about them and you can see similar traits in each of them in yourself. you're never just one character, but a perfect mix of a bunch of them. I feel like a collage or mosaic of my favourite characters. Not just the four of them, but all the characters, like Aled Last, Micheal Holden and Elle Argent.
Alice Oseman's characters radiate comfort and warmth. Her books give the same vibes as curling up in you're cozy messy bed after an exhausting day at school or work, buried under a mountain of blankets when it rains or snows outside. The months between September and February when the sun sets early and you get to wear extra layers of clothes like that oversized black hoodie to cover your face from the unfamiliar or jean jacket covered in fandom pins. Returning to your room filled with artifacts from your childhood, old middle-grade fantasy books you haven't touched in like four years but wouldn't sell or donate because they mean too much, book reports and DIY science projects from 3rd grade and that movie poster filled haven where you could leave the stresses of the real world behind.
All the lights are off, except for those fairy string lights above your bed. You're sipping a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate, rereading your old favourite books you loved as a teenager and watching that old favourite film that you've seen so many times that you can remember all the dialogue to, but you watch it anyway. Listening to that carefully curated 90s indie rock playlist from 2019 to drown out and forget the world outside. listening to artists like cavetown, girl in red, the 1975, Arctic monkeys, phoebe bridgers and the smiths. staying up wayyyy too late, the only light being the screen of your laptop or phone, reading fan fiction on AO3 while your whole family's asleep. That warmth and authenticity that you don't find much in modern media. The nostalgia. How she accurately portrays what actual teenagers are like, both the good and the bad. and every other feeling in between. confusion and the odd feelings of growing up, especially how characters like georgia and Nick never realized their sexualities until later (it can be nerve-wracking to figure something out), but also people who have known who they are since forever like frances and charlie. knowing yourself but also feeling like a complete stranger in your body. i don't know how, but even if you're reading it for the first time, @chronicintrovert books have the feeling of returning home.
Me and the girl I pulled by being autistic
Happy pride month to Tori spring and Michael Holden (and other osemanverse characters)
just realised that none of the tori x michael (possible) ship names are "good sounding" and i think its pretty iconic of them
like; "we have each other, thats enough, we dont need a ship name"
(sprolden, or like torchel, mitori, tichel etc)
HEARTSTOPPER SPOILERS 11th of OCTOBER
why is charlie so fricking tall and why is micheal even taller??? where would nick be on that spectrum?
sprolden doodle from train
(i realised that my art sucks and that i can actually do something to fix it)
btw on the same train i have seen a person with a very cool cape
HEARSTOPPER SPOILERS 21ST OF OCTOBER
they did it, heck yeah (im so incredibly excited)
like i love heartstopper getting to wider audiences and more people getting to queer content, but then the other parts of the osemanverse etc. just get looked past (like solitaire) and characters are only seen as one dimentional with one specific trait (f.e.: people will need to read solitaire to fully understand michaels character which won't happen because for some he will be just another golden retriever boyfriend to another black cat spring sibling, and even though he is cheerful and nice he is also angry and that's why the solitaire fandom loves him because he's real)
(sorry for my weird grammar and stuff, i just wrote what i was thinking in real time without any filter and yeah...)
seeing ppl say "what's solitaire" in the comment of the clip of micheal hurts a lil
i love how the whole solitaire fandom just collectively agrees that michael is a swiftie
Lemon boy by cavetown is litterally Tori and Michael and if you would like me to explain, I will gladly do so.
THEY ARE SO MEANT FOR EACH OTHER IT'S CRAZY
i literally love sprolden so much i could write an essay about it . . .
welcome to my essay about sprolden!!
tori and michael might come across as opposites who should in theory have no similar interests and not have a chance together. they seem like the exact type of person to hate the other one. but tori is not unlikable and michael is not perfect. and for these exact reasons, they work together. not necessarily as a couple but as two people who were made to be a whole.
the idea that tori is fundamentally unlikable comes from this very cliché thought of people needing to be happy all the time, laughing every day and just generally feeling no bad emotions. not only is this literally not something that a human can do but it's also very outdated. sad people can be good people.
michael is most definitely a ray of sunshine. he lights up every room he's in and warms the people that he loves. but the man has made several mistakes; he's full of anger and resentment at so many things i don't think theres any way to not make mistakes while feeling all of that.
this isn't a case of opposites attract, this is a case of: these two people could find eachother in any universe, under any conditions. they were made to go together, like two puzzle pieces or two notes in a chord. this doesn't mean romance. finding your person doesn't mean love.
ANYWAY i love sprolden!!
