Heartstopper team tease season 2/3 plans for Mr Ajayi at Edinburgh TV Festival

Executive producer Patrick Walters has teased a "lovely and joyful" storyline for art teacher Mr Ajayi. 

Patrick Walters teased that art teacher Mr Ajayi, played by Fisayo Akinade, would have his own developing storyline across future instalments.

When asked about some fans feeling melancholic while watching the series, as they were getting to see a school experience which was more positive, affirming and inclusive than their own, Walters said that the show had "a spirit" that "it's never too late".

He then added: "Not to get too much into it, but we’ve got Mr Ajayi whose storyline is going to develop in subsequent seasons and that’s going to be just as lovely and joyful as Nick and Charlie’s, so there is hope."

Mr Ajayi deserves this!!!!

The Lunar New Year: A Celebration of Tradition and Renewal Shaina Tranquilino February 10, 2024

The start of a new year is always an exciting time. It brings with it a sense of hope, possibility, and the opportunity for a fresh start. For billions of people around the world, this renewal takes place during the Lunar New Year. Also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, the Lunar New Year is celebrated by various Asian communities worldwide. It follows the lunar calendar and typically falls between late January and mid-February. This vibrant festival lasts for 15 days and is marked by colourful decorations, delicious food, family gatherings, and age-old traditions.

One of the most iconic symbols associated with the Lunar New Year is the zodiac animal. Each year in the lunar cycle corresponds to one of twelve animals – rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep/goat/ram, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. These animals are believed to influence personality traits and predict fortunes for individuals born in their respective years. In 2024, we will bid farewell to the hopeful Year of the Rabbit and welcome the strong Year of the Dragon.

Preparations for Lunar New Year begin weeks in advance as families clean their homes from top to bottom to sweep away any misfortune from the previous year. This cleaning ritual symbolizes a fresh start and invites good luck into their lives. Decorations play a significant role too; red lanterns are hung outside houses to ward off evil spirits while paper cutouts featuring auspicious phrases adorn windows and doors.

Food plays an integral part in Lunar New Year celebrations. Families gather around tables filled with sumptuous dishes that hold both symbolic meaning and cultural significance. Some popular culinary delights include dumplings (symbolizing wealth), fish (representing abundance), rice cakes (for prosperity), and oranges (a symbol of good luck). The reunion dinner on Lunar New Year's Eve is a cherished tradition where family members come together to share a meal and exchange blessings for the upcoming year.

One of the highlights of Lunar New Year is undoubtedly the lion and dragon dances. Colourful lion costumes are donned, accompanied by the thundering beats of drums and cymbals, as performers mimic the movements of these mythical creatures. The dance is believed to bring good fortune and scare away evil spirits. Fireworks also illuminate the night sky during this festive period, symbolizing warding off bad luck and welcoming prosperity.

Another cherished tradition during Lunar New Year is giving red envelopes or "hongbao." These small, red packets contain money and are gifted to children, unmarried adults, and employees as a symbol of good luck and blessings for a prosperous year ahead. It's an act of generosity that fosters joy and excitement among recipients.

Beyond the festivities itself, Lunar New Year holds deep cultural significance. It serves as an occasion for families to honour their ancestors through prayers and offerings at ancestral altars. This reverence for one's heritage strengthens familial bonds, instills values, and preserves traditions across generations.

While celebrations may differ slightly from country to country or region to region, the spirit of unity, hopefulness, and renewal remains constant throughout Asia during this auspicious time. Regardless of nationality or ethnicity, Lunar New Year has become increasingly embraced globally as people recognize its universal appeal in bringing communities together.

Lunar New Year is a vibrant festival that encapsulates centuries-old traditions while embracing new beginnings. It is a time when families come together, wishes are made for prosperity and happiness abound. As we enter another lunar cycle with the arrival of the Year of the Dragon in 2024, let us celebrate diversity and cherish our shared humanity through this beautiful celebration that unites us all. Happy Lunar New Year!

Surprisingly from the clips I have seen on youtube about the Mario movie it actually seems to be pretty decent for kids and fans of the franchise. 

More of a Mario and Luigi with mutual brotherly love and origin story than anything really. Glad to see Peach is treated as her own character and that she is shown to be very capable. 

Can’t believe it, but they actually make it more Mario and Peach than Mario/Peach, where you can see the potential for romance but it’s really more of a friendship right now. Although I am going to bet that Illumination is planning on making this a new fully fledged franchise so romance will probably follow in the next few movies. 

Refuse to participate in discourse about celebs going to occupied palestine but when they do it really is how goofy all of u act about a celebrity that knows what they are doing and we know that israel pays for them to come and on condition of the payment post on social media about how good they're experience is. "How could they go when they just invaded jenin and killed palestinians and demolished homes-" trust me they know. As a person who's been to t*l Aviv (which sits above several palestinian villages) and the occupied coastal cities, even there u see hints at the occupation through the treatment of the Palestinian population even with the rose colored glasses that isr*el forces on its tourists. Those tourists know and feel bad about it later or they know what they're seeing but genuinely believe in the inferiority of the native population to an extent that even liberal Americans think we need to be contained violently for the "peace" of the region. That actor falls in the latter lmao and no excusing his age when kids younger than him are shot and killed on a weekly basis
