Hey everyone!

I’m a week late, but I wanted to stop by and say thank you for 5 years of Heartstopper. Five years, four books, and a TV show in the works… I can’t believe what a journey Heartstopper has been on. And none of it would have been possible without the support of Heartstopper’s online readers! So thank you everyone.

I know this hiatus is long, but it is necessary (otherwise my mental health, and the comic itself, will suffer!) and I thank you all so much for your patience! The comic will be coming back - I honestly don’t know exactly when yet, but Heartstopper is deeply important to me and there are still two more chapters of the story. I hope you’re excited!

Stay safe and well,

chapter 6-12

Now as an adult I am a bit "bitch you don't even know him" but at the same time I can recognise that Eric was just part of her dreams.

She wanted to be human so very badly before Eric

He was just a bonus that she wanted to smooch

But Eric

Holy fuck!

This dude heard a chick sing and was like "that's the one. Her" despite not even seeing her face clearly

Then he meets a weird naked mute girl on the beach and is like "A FRIEND! I SHALL BRING HER HOME AND WE WILL BE FRIENDS FOR LIFE!"

And like his servant? Advisor? Whatever that dude is is like "okay I know you're hung up on mystery singing girl but this mysterious girl is right here and really into you"

And Eric is like "well damn. I should take her on a date and probably smooch her"

And he almost falls for this new girl so that he has to have a spell put on him by Ursala

Once that's broken and he realises that the two mystery girls are the SAME girl he is like "damn. Better commit murder for her" even though she is now half fish

Like Eric is ALL IN right the fuck away no matter of you're a romantic or platonic interest

Eric is a ride or die person through and through

I like to think like every other week he brings in a new drifter who is his New Best Friend and Love To Learn Ariel is thrilled and asks all the questions and records their life stories
