The Heartstopper webcomicâs first update dropped on September 1st 2016. Today, on April 11th 2026, the story has concluded.
I donât quite know how to put all of my feelings into one letter. Heartstopper means more to me than words can express, but Iâll try my best.
Heartstopper has defined the past decade of my life. It started as a fun side project and quickly grew into something much bigger, eventually becoming my career. Despite that huge and unexpected change, making the Heartstopper comic feels the same to me as it did on day one. When I sit down to make Heartstopper, I feel at peace. When the world feels so scary and difficult, I have been able to return to Heartstopper, and everything feels okay again for a little while.Â
Nick and Charlie first appeared as supporting characters in my first novel, âSolitaireâ. In Solitaire, Nick and Charlie represent the idea that hope, love, joy and connection can persist and thrive despite the trials and tribulations of being alive. So maybe itâs ironic that Nick and Charlie have come to represent this in my own life. They have brought me joy. They have given me purpose. They have given me everything, really. And Iâm so grateful for every moment I have spent with them.
Heartstopper is profoundly special to me. Which makes it extremely hard to say goodbye.
But it is time. I always knew that Nick going to university would be the end point of the story. And despite how sad I am to be bidding farewell to these characters, I am so, so proud and excited to have made it to the end and concluded the story exactly the way I wanted to.
Any webcomic creator can tell you that making a webcomic requires a heavy amount of determination and endurance. To draw a page almost every day for the past ten years has required a lot of sacrifice and a lot of energy. But every moment was worth it. And now that it is complete, Nick and Charlieâs story can be experienced from beginning to end, for the rest of forever.
I wouldnât have made it here alone. From the very start, Heartstopperâs readers have offered so much support, love, community, conversation, and enthusiasm. Knowing that there are people out there who love these characters just like I do has given me the strength to keep going. Iâve also had the support of many colleagues, friends, and family members, whoâve all helped in different ways at various points in the past decade. Thank you so, so much to everyone who has been here for the journey.Â
I have no idea what Iâll make next. For now, Iâm taking a break. And I know that Nick and Charlie wonât simply vanish. I expect I will always return to drawing them and writing about them, probably in smaller ways, for the rest of my life, as long as my body allows.
Nick and Charlie will forever be in my heart, hand in hand on a beach somewhere.

no one will ever convince me that the us carpet bombing a country is the solution to anything and its genuinely disturbing that it has become so thoroughly normalized in the minds of many let alone viewed as a desirable action and not something deeply fundamentally wrong
Heartstopper updates three times a month, on the 1st, 11th, and 21st at 11am UK time.
A NOTE FROM ALICE:
Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that we are approaching the end of the Heartstopper webcomic. Which is very very sad and strange and scary for me!! But I thought it might be helpful for you all to know that the comic will end on April 11th this year. Chapter 8 will end on April 1st, and on April 11th there will be an epilogue.
Thank you for being here for the final part of this journey â¤ď¸
do yâall remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those wereâŚdark times
Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus
remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to opâs blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

The reason fat cadavers are not accepted for medical programmes is that you need to cut through every layer of fat carefully. Which takes time, and lab sessions are inherentely limited in that. It's better for med students to spend that time looking at what organs actually look like in bodies. This isn't fatphobia, it's just .. the way dissecting bodies works? In the same way surgeries on fat people take longer because there's just physically more tissue. The alternative would be to force the med students who get fatter cadavers to do more lab sessions at weird times outside of the usual schedules. Or force them to stay over the holidays. Or not let them get enough time to do the lab work they need to. Which imo would be a bit fucked up especially when med school is already so difficult and time-consuming.
Itâs fatphobia. Fat bodies absolutely need to be studied. To ignore an entire demographic of oppressed individuals in the medical field for the sake of convenience(?!) is violence. Did you even read the article? They called working on fat cadavers âunpleasant.â Itâs fatphobia and itâs unacceptable.
The internal organs aren't the end-all be-all of medicine, even for surgeons. It is still incredibly important for med students to learn about the skin and adipose layers. The point of doing these dissection exercises isn't just to give med students a chance to poke around human guts. It is to familiarize themselves with every part of the body. I only got one semester into a nursing career that didn't work out, but in that one semester I took an Anatomy & Physiology course and we did do an animal dissection and the very first thing we spent time on was the skin layer.
Not only is the practice of dissection meant to familiarize med students with every part of the body, it's meant to give them a chance to see real human bodies. Because what you see in anatomical diagrams in text books isn't normal. Bodies aren't mass manufactured, they do not all look the same, and the practice of examining cadavers gives med students real world experience seeing different ways bodies can vary.
Purposefully rejecting a certain body type is actively detrimental to their education. When institutions refuse to teach their students how to work on certain bodies, the industry then treats those people as "difficult to work with" because they don't know how to. You see it all the time in more low-stakes industries as well â fashion institutes not teaching how to dress fat bodies, leading to designers who think creating plus size clothes is too hard; beauty schools not teaching how to work with Black hair, leading to hairdressers who think Black hair is uniquely difficult to work with rather than just a texture that requires a slightly different technique.
How much extra time are we talking here? Because Anon you make it sound like it can take HOURS, if not DAYS. And yet I, a certified Superfat, had surgery on the fattest part of my belly a couple of years ago, and the whole procedure took 90 minutes. And that, of course, included the time it took to put me to sleep and controlling the bleeding, all things that a med student working on a cadaver doesn't have to worry about.
The alternative to med students using fat cadavers is doctors working on living patients who do not have the skills to care properly for their fat patients. Which leads to them either refusing to treat those patients, or to them getting hands-on experience on living patients, instead of on a cadaver, which is the whole point of med students working on cadavers.
So, Anon, what you're arguing here, is that it's far more important and humane to save med students an extra (let's be generous) hour in lab time, than it is for fat patients to have a doctor who's willing to help them and has experience working on bodies like theirs, and therefore is less likely to cause them harm in the process.
Over and over, the argument being made, which I'm expected to agree is purely objective, logical, and unbiased is:
It doesn't matter if fat people die.
These are all arguments I've actually heard, and all by people claiming that they don't hate fat people, that they aren't fatphobic, that their argument is just common sense, and everybody knows it:
"If EpiPens aren't made with needles long enough to work on fat bodies, fat people with allergies should just lose weight." - It doesn't matter if fat people die.
"Fat people are a financial burden on the healthcare system. The NHS is wasting money on making ambulances that can accommodate fat people." - It doesn't matter if fat people die.
"The reason firefighters shouldn't have to save fat people from burning buildings is because they aren't easy to carry out, and firefighters can get injured in the process." - It doesn't matter if fat people die.
"Covid is actually a good thing because it's mostly only killing fat people." - It doesn't matter if fat people die.
"The reason so many doctors have patient BMI limits on who they will perform surgery on, treat, or even agree to have an appointment with, is because it's too hard to treat fat people." - It doesn't matter if fat people die.
And now: "The reason fat bodies aren't studied is because dissecting their cadavers is inconvenient."
It doesn't matter if fat people die.
There is nothing that's not more important than fat people's lives. Convenience, money, time, comfort, ease - nothing. Because fat people aren't important at all. We are expendable. We're actually not even something that gets cut because we were never being accounted for to begin with. We are worthless.
It doesn't matter if we die. Actually, if we all died it would be convenient. A bonus.
This isn't fatphobia, "it's just...the way it works?"
#It's so wild how often fatphobia is this extreme and yet always coming from someone who consideres themselves completely impartial#The most common fatphobic argument being expressed is literally that it doesn't matter if fat people die.#It is that extreme and yet so commonplace that it's entirely casual and most people don't even blink. Don't think anything of it all.#And I'm just expected to not be in a constant state of seething rage over it like how do you expect me to be normal in this world?#How do you expect me to stay sane? When literally even the most casually fatphobic people in the world can't understand why#fat people shouldn't have to die to save money or time or effort?
make an awful, ill-conceived, sponsored post about "responsible"/"ethical" uses of ai in writing
immediately get ratio'd in a way i've never seen on tumblr with a small swarm of chastising-to-negative replies and no reblogs
start deleting replies
reply to their own post being like 'agree to disagree!!!' while saying that ai can TOTALLY be ethical because spellcheck exists!! (???) while in NO WAY responding to the criticisms of ai for its environmental impact OR the building of databases on material without author consent, ie, stolen material, OR the money laundering rampant in the industry
when called out on deleting replies, literally messaged me people who called them out to say "We don't have a problem with folks disagreeing with AI. It's the tone of the discourse." So. overtly stated tone policing.
get even MORE replies saying this is a Bad Look, and some reblogs now that people's replies are being deleted
DISABLE REBLOGS when people aren't saying what nano would prefer they say
NaNo When It Started: Join our challenge to bootstrap your own creativity. Write! Let it be bad! Trying is the point and will feel good when you are done!
NaNo Now: Skip the effort. Cheating is for everyone. Get that badge. Pay us.
This is the only post I'll be reblogging about this cuz I've participated in NaNoWriMo once (technically) in private but my goal was to write every day. Because I wanted to try to work on something consistently.
As a disabled writer? Specifically one with brain fog? FUCK the "saying you shouldn't use AI is ableist" thing. What's fucking ableist is implying disabled people can't write their own stories. What's ableist is implying the mediocre plagiarism machine would write better than I do. Fuck that and fuck them and their (gen)AI shilling bullshit.
Everyone I know who used prowritingaid before they went full in on AI has stopped using it because it's basically unusable with how WRONG it is constantly. Some of the "corrections" I've seen are appalling. Egregiously wrong. Like. Suggesting entire paragraphs become a single sentence that's got nothing to do with the paragraph at all. No one should rely on that shit. So for NaNoWriMo to be sponsored by them? Bad in every way.
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think âWell, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot moreâ so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that â10â is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said â6â because I thought âWell, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.â
I searched and searched for the post this graphic was from, and the OP deactivated, but I kept the graphic, because my BFF does the same thing, uses her imagination to come up with the worst pain she can imagine and pegs her â10âł there, and so is like, well, Iâm conscious, so this must be a 5, and then the doctors donât take her seriously. (And she then does things like driving herself to the hospital while in the process of giving birth. Probably should have called an ambulance for that one!)
So I found this and sent it to her. Because this is what they want to know: how badly is this pain affecting you? Not on a scale of ânothingâ to âhow Iâd imagine itâd feel if bears were eating my still-living guts while I was on fireâ.Â
I hate reposting stuff, but Iâll never find that post again and OP is deactivated, so, hereâs a repost. I can delete this later, i just wanted to get it to you and I canât embed images in a chat or an ask.Â
Itâs also really important to get this kind of scale to people who have chronic pain, because chronic pain drastically lowers your perception of how âbadâ any kind of pain actually is, and yet something like this pain scale is extremely user friendly.Â
For example, if someone asked me how much pain Iâm in at any given time, Iâd say hardly any, and yet Iâm apparently at a chronic 2.5, and it only goes up from there depending on the day.Â
Thereâs also a similarly useful âFatigue Scaleâ
See also the Mental Health Pain Scale by Graceful Patient:
Mental Health Pain Scale transcription:
MILD
1 - Everything is a-okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong. Youâre probably cuddling a fluffy kitten right now. Enjoy!
2 - Youâre a bit frustrated or disappointed, but youâre easily distracted and cheered up with a little effort.
3 - Things are bothering you, but youâre coping. You might be overtired or hungry. The emotional equivalent of a headache.
MODERATE
4 - Today is a bad day (or a few bad days). You still have the skills to get through it, but be gentle with yourself. Use self-care strategies.
5 - Your mental health is starting to impact on your everyday life. Easy things are becoming difficult. You should talk to your doctor.
6 - You canât do things the way you usually do them due to your mental health. Impulsive and compulsive thoughts may be hard to cope with.
SEVERE
7 - Youâre avoiding things that make you more distressed, but that will make it worse. You should definitely seek help. This is serious.
8 - You canât hide your struggles any more. You may have issues sleeping, eating, having fun, socialising, and work/study. Your mental health is affecting almost all parts of your life.
9 - Youâre at a critical point. You arenât functioning any more. You need urgent help. You may be a risk to yourself or others if left untreated.
10 - The worst mental and emotional distress possible. You can no longer care for yourself. You canât imagine things getting any worse. Contact a crisis line immediately.
Hi, Tumblr. Itâs Tumblr. Weâre working on some things that we want to share with you.Â
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Unionâs AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so weâre releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. Weâre also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.Â
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogsâ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogsâ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the âPrevent third-party sharingâ option.Â
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.Â
Please note: If youâve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, weâve automatically enabled the âPrevent third-party sharingâ option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
Surprisingly, nowhere in this post, does Tumblr explicitly say that they've partnered with OpenAI and Midjourney to let them scrape your content unmitigated unless you opt out.
THE OPTION SHOULD BE TOGGLED OFF BY DEFAULT AND ENABLED BY THE USER. OPT-IN, NOT OPT-OUT.
Forcing within your site's settings that everyone is giving automatic consent until they notice and opt out is fucking unethical. DeviantArt already tried this and got their asses handed to them.
MAKING PEOPLE CONSENT BY DEFAULT AND FORCING THEM TO REVOKE IT IS NOT ETHICAL DATA USAGE.
Scream it from the fucking rooftops until these dumbasses get the picture.
If you also disagree with Tumblr doing this and/or think it should be opt in and not opt out EMAIL SUPPORT AND COMPLAIN! Reblogging is good to spread the word but staff probably will not see it
since tumblr is going to start scraping blogs to train ai be sure to glaze and nightshade your art!! Not only will both of these programs protect your art from being copied but nightshade also poisons any ai that tries to steal it
here is some more info on these tools and where you can download them:
