okay i actually managed to get some (semi) coherent thoughts down on the brilliance of heartstopper asjnka so here goes:
Nick (Kit Conner) absolutely STOLE the show I mean of course EVERYONE was amazing and fantastic but NICK what a sweetheart what a darl I’m sorry but it’s the truth
Elle is so gorgeous. What
ALICE ON THE TRAIN I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE 😭😭
I just want to flatten Tao’s hair I’m so sorry
Darcy having a lil gay panic moment when Tara kisses her at sports day, like just look at her expression everyone and try to tell me she’s not whipped
and of course Charlie always having sweet gay panics and giggles and and his smiles
the gay panic phone-background with the text. enough said.
Isaac reading in every scene. I think I can say for all of us that this is who we are and who we want to be spiritually and on all levels.
“Hi I am Darcy I am hERE to meet the local gays !!”
Elle’s hair Elle’s hair Elle’s hair
Girl In Red, Choice Moriondo and Orla Gartland in the soundtrack!!!!
all the little comic screen splits and little animations are just perfection and soooo cuteee especially the little electricity pew pew
The COLOUR SCHEME I could write a whole screen and media analysis on the colours and animation for my degree
Tara simultaneously being in love and completely exasperated by Darcy at all times, iconic.
Imogen and her Tik Tok hair !! it would not be a real teen show if someone didn’t have those little blonde streak framing their face ya know?
how similar it was to the comic - down to the scenes and framing and the lines like “CHAR” !!! my heart !!!
Honestly. The most accurate portrayal of teenagers texting . AND most accurate representation of teenagers. Like they actually looked like real teenagers. I am very happy for them.
Charlie’s happy little face and heart eyes when nick was having is romantic speech/breakdown about how amazing and kind Charlie is
Darcy screaming homophobia when their kissing was interrupted, the most accurate representation of a queer teen I’ve ever seen.
Also Darcy literally wearing a random ass hoodie over her uniform like no one else is doing that and I KNOW from going to a school with strictish uniform policy that she probably was not even allowed to do that and we stan.
and lastly, and most iconically “Do you like this girl?” “…..Her dog died”.
