trying so hard to emotionally recover from this show

the whole “heartstopper isn’t realistic” argument is so stupid to me because everyone who says that has clearly not been able to understand the show/comics correctly. you have charlie literally fainting because he’s not eating enough, you have nick doubting himself because he doesn’t know how to help one of the people he cares the most about, you have elle experiencing identity issues surrounding her current life and friendships, you have tara having self esteem issues because her girlfriend is kind of giving her the silent treatment, you have darcy hiding from her friends the literal hell she’s going through in her house, you have isaac experiencing his sexuality awakening alone because he feels he can’t trust his friends, you have imogen literally going through another sexuality awakening after being heartbroken two times, and finally, you have tori literally at the brink of tears in every scene because of depression. heartstopper IS realistic. you are just too obsessed with drugs and over sexualisation of teenagers. grow up.

The ending of solitaire hits you so emotionally hard that it takes a bit to fully process what you just read. The ending of that book made me shed a tear. For reference, I have never cried at a single piece of media. That book is simply my favorite book ever

I definitely relate to Charlie and Tori way too much

I love when Tori is mentioned in Radio Silence, especially at the end (she might be in a bar scene too?). I didn't catch it the first time but it's revealed that Frances is the Doctor Who girl from the party in Solitaire. I just love seeing Tori in anything.

I just saw a tiktok slideshow of a show-watcher predicting that Grover would be the traitor and let me tell you, this whole divide between show-watchers and book-readers is ENTERTAINING
