"they were all idiots for assuming you were straight." friendly reminder that tao was talking right through the tv screen to YOU GUYS for what y'all did to kit it's literally a gut punch to see nick coming out handled with so much love in this show while the very fans of said show ruined this kid's life

I almost screamed out of joyment when Nick said "I hate you because you literally assaulted him" because even tho that's obviously what happened, it's never explicitly said in the comics and i just loved that someone finally said what happened with its correct words, it was so special to me

If Kit and Joe don’t go on to have super successful careers off of this scene alone then Hollywood has truly failed us

by the end of heartstopper season 2, isaac picked up the ACE book from his library and openly read it and held it around his friends - as a representation of coming to terms with being aroace and even being/ready to be open about being so.
so if this is the case, the books that isaac reads in this season seem to represent the current state that his self-discovery journey is in.
for example, isaac is seen reading ‘boy erased’ briefly in one scene - a book about conversion therapy. suggesting that isaac is rejecting the idea of being aroace at this point in time.
as he gets closer to understanding his identity, he reads ‘summer bird blue’, which has an aroace mc but isn’t the entire focus of the book. this suggests he’s much more open to the idea of aroace and is looking into it, but discreetly.
and then, of course, he picks up the ACE book from the library.
but if this is the case, back in episode 3 when james and isaac were setting up the display, james says this:
as he picks up the book with ‘bi’ written in front. and isaac responds:
if the books he has read in this season represent his labels and self-discovery journey, the suggestion that he has read a book about bisexuality but disliked it, suggests that he has, in fact:
experienced the bisexual to aroace pipeline.

THIS GIF IS MAKING ME ACT UP—
As a touch starved person, seeing this sort of casual physical touch is literally life changing. IT’S SO SWEET AND INTIMATE IN A NON-SEXUAL, NON-ROMANTIC WAY.
Two people who are content enough to just be physical with no preconceived notions or anything is such a special phenomenon fr.

isaac didn't even check out the ace book he just said "this is mine now because i'm having a sexuality crisis" and he's so real for that

I want to thank Alice for this, in "sorry" it was the first time I've ever heard someone say the word "aromantic" in tv, it's something really important to me and generally to every heartstopper fan who's also part of the aro/ace community. It makes me so happy for this representation to also be made by my favorite author ever and someone who's also part of the community

Michael and Nick have similar issues with feeling lonely but also they are completely different.
Nick feels lonely because he changed himself entirely, his identity, smile, interests, etc, for the people around him. He feels lonely because he is without himself.
Michael feels lonely because he IS lonely he was without friends for most of his life but he never changed himself. He kept his identity, smile, interests, etc. But he was lonely until he met Tori.
The two, logically, would be become dependent to their important people, Charlie and Tori, but for different reasons that include their loneliness.
Charlie helped Nick wake up. He helped Nick realize that he was lost without himself that he was entirely unhappy and needed help. Nick is dependent on Charlie because Charlie was the only thing that Nick could find in himself. Nick is lonely without his identity and since Charlie is helping build Nick's identity back Nick is dependent on him.
Michael would be, logically, dependent on Tori. Tori is his first friend we can assume in years. The first person to get him and actually try to understand him. She is the first person to not immediate judge and then ignore Michael entirely. Michael would be dependent on her for companionship. Michael spending most of his time with Tori, thinking about Tori in a way that can seem obsessive, makes sense because Tori broke down Michaels immunity to feeling nothing to being alone. He wasn't alone finally and he got used to not being alone. So if Tori left for even a week or two he'd begin to feel lonely again which will cause him to break.
Anyway YUUUUHHH.
