She talked about how Harry was transphobic towards her. And in S2 there’s a whole episode where she is wanting to go to another school for sixth form and another trans girl talks about their shared experience being trans.
Augmented Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 Episode 8 stuff: Spoiler I’ll start by saying I really didn’t want to finish this. I’ve stretched out my watch time of this show because I didn’t want to fly through all the episodes without getting chance to enjoy and think about them. It’s a shame this couldn’t have been a weekly release because I honestly would have gone slower in watching these if I wasn’t fearful for the hype to fade and not get to see how everyone else is enjoying the season. The thought of having to wait potentially a year and a half for the next season is already killing me because this is probably the most impactful show of my life. This was a heavy watch all the way through and I was crying throughout. So many beautiful, honest, deeply emotional moments that send a variety of emotions through me. It’s hard watching a show like this because you relate to the trauma but yearn for the comfort and safety the way the show portrays it. Kit was acting his ass off ALL episode, from the facial expressions, to the silence when he’s listening, to the flickers of fear every time he’s worried about Charlie it’s truly crazy how well he manages it all. I can safely say Will Gao has absolutely stunned me this season too, the improvement in his acting is crazy he brought me to tears in his conversation with Nick. Tao growing through the entire first 2 seasons to where he is now has been such a heartwarming experience like you genuinely route for his character when he starts to be more honest or handles things with more maturity.I feel like Yaz and Will get overlooked a lot because of Kit and Joes immaculate chemistry but my gosh they look so f*cking smitten with each other and the chemistry has just exploded from the second half of the season onwards. Conflicted on how I feel about Isaacs ending, i wish we had just got more time with him this season and I’m fearful on how they will continue to portray what he’s going through. Really enjoyed diving deeper into Darcys life and her emotions however…I think Tara got done incredibly dirty this season in terms of character development like she truly got given the supportive lover role and that’s it The chosen family vibes were off the chart this episode and seeing them essentially have their own prom in a safe space was truly a moment (though I will say I’m surprised Imogen was left out from joining them, I guess they wanted to leave her final scene more open ended due to a potential romance with Sahar?). I remember thoroughly enjoying my Prom tbh but then I think about never having that queer experience, even if it was just briefly, it sucks. Have to give props to Joe for his final monologue, very traumatic, very real and acted phenomenally. Truly fearful for what the next season holds in terms of Charlie’s issues because I’m scared we are going to dive heavy into things getting worst for him and I don’t know if I can sit through that. Literally no one cares but I will probably post my true final thoughts on the season at some point because whilst I don’t know if it lived up to the first season, it definitely felt FAR more emotional and thought provoking. 3
Better Mistakes Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 Has anyone had what fans on Reddit call “Heartstopper syndrome” from watching this? I’ve never had a show affect me the way this had before 1
Totami Legend Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 Very cute season. The Paris episodes were such a comfort experience.
ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted August 12, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted August 12, 2023 Homophobia wins again the way they didn't even show us Mr. Farouk's **** at the end of episode 6. 1 1
LikeAChampion Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 After all the drama rumored between two of the cast members it looks like it might be true... Spoiler Ben won't be written into season 3. I know he wasn't in the later books but they did write the character into season 2 way more than the books so to not do that for season 3 makes me think there was an outside influence.
Janet Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 I let Trixie and Katya ruin the season for me Ben is v sexy now.. X 1 1
kawk Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 ******* terrible season... I was bored out of my mind throughout and most of the time I was just rolling my eyes at the cringey writing. Cancel it! 5
kayliah Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 The first season was really cute and special. Now its too corny and too sentimental for my taste. Charlie gets on my nerves sometimes with his submissive and eager to please personality. like can you take care of yourself and go see a pyschologist to help you and talk to someone.the way he erases himself completely for someone makes me so sad.

None of this was ever confirmed publically so it's all rumors by the fans/media from obsessively tracking their socials I think dd.

From the behind the scenes videos, the fact that they were together 24/7 and their instagram posts it was very obvious they were dating

They already pushed his character into S2 and did well with it imo. Dragging it for another seasons would be too much. 1

They allegedly broke up while Joe was doing Coven of Chaos. And since then you don’t see any interactions between them outside of S2 press promo videos. But it looks like they’re friends on good term though.

Just finished S2 and this was seriously my biggest problem with the season It was SO annoying seeing his friends hanging out and he was ignoring them and reading no matter what they were doing..... Walking down a street, touring a world-famous art museum, playing truth or dare, dancing at prom!! ENOUGH! It feels like a parody 2 2
Better Mistakes Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 Firstly, can I just publicly thank @NumbSoul for the kind and thoughtful support they’ve given me based on my posts having watched this amazing show. Secondly, would anyone who is suffering from this “Heartstopper syndrome” having watched this show like to start a group chat on here with me? It’d be nice to create a safe space to share how we’re feeling; our experiences and anything that’s helped us overcome these intense feelings. 3
