iahb tag: **just more ships from another fandom but drawn in that one awkward sherwithan pose from the film** **just someone saying “in a heartbeat” as an idiom and not talking abt the actual film** **random p*rn blog post** **random unrelated fic named “in a heartbeat”**

I hope all of you are having a wonderful IAHB anniversary day today!

Right now in my timezone the day of the anniversary is about to end, but to my fellow foreign followers that might be tomorrow or that could be yesterday! So wherever you are in the world, happy ex or advanced anniversary to yall!

Ever since I became an IAHB fan in early 2020, this film has helped me truly through figuring out my true identity and it also made my passion for drawing grow. I adored these two for as long as i can remember (still do), and if im being honest? My comfort character is Sherwin. I feel so connected with him and relatable to him. and i see Jonathan as an old brother i can look up to.

As crazy (and weird) as this sounds, but in a heartbeat has helped me through all of my problems in life. Words cannot describe how much joy sherwithan and sherwithan fan content brought to me. (Not in like a fujoshi way i hope yall dont think of me like that 😭😭) Whenever I feel sad or anything like that I just instantly think of like an iahb scenario and i just magically get hyper again! Just seeing Sherwin being misunderstood and judged by all the other students in the school, and Jonathan being the only one who understands just hit home to a big level. Though ive not been teased for being gay, ive been teased for not “acting” like my ethnicity. I learned english before tagalog and people picked on me for that even if it wasnt my fault that that’s how I grew up. And seeing Sherwin going through what I did made me feel seen.

To summarize, this film changed my life in many ways possible and I just BADLY want to thank Beth and Esteban for making such a nobel peace price worthy award animated 4 minute short film. It comforted me through my tough times and i felt comfort with Sherwin and Jonathan.

Anyways, enjoy this little fan art offering I made for this beautiful shortfilm. (THAT TOOK ME A WHOLE MONTH)

I expect to see more films like In a Heartbeat in the near future in the animation industry,

To save, inspire, and help the lives of young queer and trans youth. Just like it did for me. 🧡💗💙
