ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted May 5, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 5, 2022 2 hours ago, Cas said: I was thinking the same thing. Charlie bumps into Ben at the birthday party - in my mind, here we go again, Ben will kiss Charlie, Nick will see them and everything will fall apart. I was so happy to be proven wrong so many times. This is one of the reasons why the show is loved - there is no unnecessary drama. At this point, I'm debating myself if I should read the graphic novels - I don't want to spoil the future seasons, but at the same time I want to see how the story will unfold as soon as possible. I started reading the graphic novels last night. I'm a little bit into the part of the story that follows the show. But it's worth reading. I would recommend reading at least the portion of the novels that the series is based on. If you wan to keep going from there, then you can. From my experience, the series is a larger story than the graphic novels. The novels (thus far from where I'm at) are basically all about Nick and Charlie. Tara, Darcy, Elle, Tao, and Aled (or Isaac) are all background characters that have little development. The series fleshes them out a bit more. I say that to mention that there likely is still going to be a good amount of "new" content to see from the series even if you do get to witness more of Nick and Charlie's development from the novels.

Yeah. I decided to read the graphic novels that the show is based on and I can really see how the show is presenting all these supporting characters in a such a pleasant way. The netlflix adaption has done such a tremendous job, I'd riot if it is not renewed. I've watched it 3 times so far and this never happens.

A lot of us missed out on the innocent crushes and romance of our teens so this show hits hard… To sum up my feelings about this show: im both happy that the new generation gets a positive and uplifting queer love story but I’m also sad that for many of us that time has passed. Although, I will say that I am more motivated now to go out there and find love because lord knows we all deserve love ❤️ PS: I bought all the novels and now in search for merchandise I agree :'c Makes me just wanna die even more than before. It was a complete blast to the face of realization. And what's worse is the way I am, it won't change. Why are we cursed like this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Alice should make trouble for the rest of the cast and leave my precious Char ALONE. It's always Charlie dealing with issues and Nick coming to the rescue/supporting him, ENOUGH!

I know the mental health troubles he's been facing go hand in hand, I'm just a little tired of this dynamic To be fair, the webcomic is pretty short at the moment. We'll see how they divvy up the suffering. But, I think a really good sub-story with Nick is his coming to terms with the fact that he can't save Charlie. He can support him and encourage him to find qualified help, but he can't fix Charlie's mental health problems. When I was young and stupid, I always wanted to save and fix people. It got pretty drastic to the point where my mental health took massive tolls feeling like I was responsible for problems that were beyond my ability to address. So I think that was a good story and should be highlighted. I'm curious to see if we get a more thorough view into Darcy's home life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... It seems most of Charlie's issues trace back to the bullying and the trauma of being outed in the way he was. Nick was fortunate to not have that, so I think it makes for an interesting foil. I do think there's some potential with Nick struggling to figure out his future. He doesn't seem to be as strong of a student as Charlie naturally is. So I wonder if that's going to incite some issues with confidence and imposter syndrome? Who knows. I don't think the webcomic will continue long enough to explore that in depth, though.
