I dont think i can ever describe how much heartstopper means to me. I first started watching the show the weekend i started questioning my sexuality and it became everything. It was the first show I obsessed over, the first soundtrack i would play on repeat, the first and only comics ive ever read and the first books i ever got multiple versions of just for the other covers. It brought to a community that taught me that the way I am is okay and helped me not only accept but find joy in my queerness. Heartstopper taught me it was okay I was bisexual the same way loveless showed me that for my aromantism and i was born for this my transness. Heartstopper grew up with me, from 12 to 16 and has stayed with me that whole time. I think alot of people like to call it cringe bc they forget what it did and continues to do for young queer people. Being queer is scary and finding small communities where its accepted is quite literally the difference between life or death for so many people. Heartstopper is something i will never forget, ill carry it with me forever and i wouldnt I want it any other way.
