Best part of season two is Nick constantly looking at Charlie like he’s the last glass of water in the desert, like he’s a full course meal and Nick is starving. Nick is so far past being confused and awkward about his feelings and has moved on to sensual gazes and lip biting and hickeys. I’m so proud of him.

#So that’s what Kit meant when he said BLOSSOMING lmao #Heartstopper #Nick Nelson #Charlie Spring #narlie #Heartstopper spoilers

Getting Together (1) Masterlist

A Fool in Love (Ao3) - graphiquejacques

Summary: Charlie sees Nick making out with a girl... and a guy.

Nick sees Charlie making out with a guy.

Can a posse of meddling gays and supportive allies ever get these two idiots back together?

breaking cameras and bones (but not hearts) (Ao3) - sargent

Summary: When Charlie Spring volunteered to be the photographer for a local roller derby bout, he wasn’t expecting to meet a cute guy with a passion for roller skating and a knack for breaking bones. And also Charlie’s camera.

They make it work.

disturb the universe (Ao3) - fragmentsofstardust

Summary: Charlie’s first relationship was one for the books. It had been exciting and tumultuous and one of the realest things he’d ever felt in his life.

Charlie’s current relationship was… nice.

Does It Really Matter? (Ao3) - pandaluma

Summary: What if Nick met Charlie a year before they got to sit next to each other in form? Instead, he was actually just looking for a new rugby player.

have i been on your mind? (Ao3) - y9gurt

Summary: Nick Nelson operates under the impression that he'll end up with his soulmate, and she'll be the love of his life, until he realizes that shedoesn't exist.

i guess all the rumors are true (Ao3) - thetomkatwholived

Summary: “He messaged me over half-term. Said he had a friend who might be into you.” Otis waggled his eyebrows.

“Oh?” Nick tried to pretend the hope blossoming in his chest was for some unknown reason, the possibility of someone random liking him. But it was becoming clearer and clearer by the day what that hope meant and why it bloomed at the mention of a friend of Tao Xu.

in sepia-colored tones (Ao3) - avenueblue

Summary: In which Charlie and Nick become nothing more than acquaintances back in Truham, instead crossing paths again in their adulthood as a budding journalist tasked with writing a feature on a rising rugby star.

Rugby Lad (Ao3) - sophisticatedyet

Summary: Charlie thinks agreeing to join the Truham rugby team at the request of Mrs Singh is possibly the worst decision he’s ever made. Then Nick Nelson, the St John’s fly half, sweeps him off his feet (literally) and Charlie decides maybe rugby isn’t so bad.

Suncatcher (Ao3) - avonne

Summary: Nick is chasing something, and Charlie is running away. When their paths cross in Amsterdam's ever-changing summer buzz, they realize that the place where they will finally find peace might just be with each other.

The Office (Ao3) - cutenewt

Summary: Charlie has a crush on Nick from HR.

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/2uv6Al3 by LisWrites Charlie has blossomed since his Truham days. Really he has. He has a job in publishing (he edits dubious hetero romance fics), he has a boyfriend (Ben - we know that's not going to be good), he lives in London with one of his Isaac and he sees very little of Jane. He's got his eating under control and his need for control sort of under control. He doesn't have the great novel he's supposed to be writing in his spare time under control at all. But he's trying. He's really trying. Then one call from his boss changes his whole trajectory. He has a famous new author to babysit. Who could that possibly be?

Author Spotlight: Alice Oseman

Image Credit: Goodreads

Alice Oseman is an award-winning author, illustrator, and screenwriter from the UK. Her best-known work is her webcomic-turned-graphic novel series-turned Netflix sensation Heartstopper. She has also written four YA novels that explore various queer identities and mental health: Solitaire (which was originally published when she was only 19 and is being rereleased in next month with a new cover and some editorial changes), Radio Silence (my personal favorite), I Was Born For This (a close second), and Loveless. Her novels are connected, dubbed the “Osemanverse” by fans.

In Heartstopper, Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson meet at an all-boys grammar school and become fast friends - their friendship eventually blossoming into more. It features gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans characters and deals with eating disorders. Solitaire follows Charlie Spring’s older sister Tori, a blogger, and has been dubbed “The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age”. I haven’t read it yet but I’m excited to see where Oseman’s writing first began.

Radio Silence follows Frances Janvier, a girl obsessed with getting the best grades possible so she can get into a good university. She ends up befriending Aled Last, who shares similar ambitions. France and Aled end up developing a deep, life-changing friendship as they work on a podcast together and discover that maybe there’s more to life than getting As.

In I Was Born For This, we follow Angel Rahimi and Jimmy Kaga-Ricci - a super fan of the pop-rock trio The Ark and The Ark’s frontman respectively. The two teens are thrust together unexpectedly and made to face the realities of life they’ve been ignoring - that Angel needs to find herself outside of The Ark’s fandom and that Jimmy needs to find himself outside of his band.

Finally, Loveless follows Georgia Warr - a girl about to enter university who has never kissed anyone, never been in a romantic relationship, or even had a crush. As her plan to fall in love wreaks havoc among her friends new and old, Georgia begins to wonder if maybe she’s aromantic and asexual.

Oseman is also the author of two novellas: Nick and Charlie and This Winter and The Heartstopper Yearbook - a companion to the graphic novel series. Alice Oseman is the perfect choice if you’re looking for queer YA novels that tackle mental illness head on.

Rating: 5/5

Book Blurb: Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more...? Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn't been too great, but at least he's not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He's heard a little about Charlie - the kid who was outed last year and bullied for a few months - but he's never had the opportunity to talk to him. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn't think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner..

Review:

Boy meets Boy. One of the sweetest love stories ever. ( Seriously I just finished binging the Netflix show and started reading the books...) Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for boys and is a highly-strung openly gay over-thinker. He’s been dealing with a lot, the past year being filled with bullies, and hooking up with a boy who hides their relationship and treats him poorly... but with then comes a new class... and a new seat mate. Cue Nick nelson, Year 11 rugby player. Nick is sweet, funny, and charming. Soon Nick and Charlie start up a friendship that starts blossoming into something more. This is the cutest book ever and I can’t wait to see where the next book goes!!! Nick’s journey with slowly discovering that he’s bi is just great because as someone who went through it myself, it was relatable and I sincerely applaud the author of this book for capturing it.

So, you want to listen to more country music but hate the bro/post 9/11 mainstream stuff on the radio. I’m relatively new to the genre, but I like deep diving and I thought I'd make a guide to get you started down your own country road.

(My general advice for getting into a new genre is to find the black and queer people making that music, it’s usually better.)

Of course you can start with the classic stuff made by Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, John Prine, The Carter Family, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard etc. This is what a lot of people refer to as “good” country music. I like most of it, and the older people in your life will probably think you’re cool if you bust this out at the next barbecue. Basically search up country music playlists that focus on the 50s-80s and you’ll get this group plus even more.

If you’re looking for recent releases there are some pretty good playlists made by spotify that can be a jumping off point: Cosmic Country, Vintage Vibes, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Indigo, Country Soul, Queer as Folk, Orville Peck made i miss summertime. I’ll plug my own country road trip playlist as well (x)

Here’s my list of (mostly lesser known) modern country musicians I think are worth a check out: Yola, Amythyst Kiah, Charley Crockett, Sierra Ferrell, Willi Carlisle, Nick Shoulders, Orville Peck, Lisa LeBlanc, Katie Pruitt, Paul Cauthen, Sturgill Simpson, Kacey Musgraves, The Highwomen, Brandi Carlile, Teddy and the Rough Riders, Dale Hollow, Mya Byrne, Evil, Courtney Marie Andrews, Cactus Blossoms, Margo Price, Marlon Williams, Leslie Stevens, Cut Worms

If you are completely new to country but like alt rock or singer songwriter I would recommend trying out folk, americana, and other subgenres to find something in line with what you already vibe with.

Bonus! There is a yt channel called Western AF that posts live performances from tons of younger/new country artists

Anyway I hope this helps someone out on their journey! My lists are in no way meant to be exhaustive, just a jumping off point for your own exploration. Happy trails!

#country #country music #orville peck #no glory in the west #i had fun making this so feel free to share it around #music recommendation

Books with Bisexual Characters

I’ve always been a book lover, and lately I’ve been taking note of some of the bi characters I meet along my journey. I thought I’d share some book recommendations.

First, In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan. I love this book so much—it’s honestly one of my favourites. It features a bisexual protagonist, Elliot Schafer, who goes across a wall into a magical, fantasyland and actively rebels against its war-like ways, choosing to draft treaties instead. He’s a snarky, grumpy, pacifist who has relationships with people of multiple genders throughout the course of the book. This book is super funny. Seriously, it made me laugh out loud on more than occasion. It also features truly phenomenal character development and explores the joys and trials of friendship between Elliot and his two best friends Luke Sunborn (the shy golden boy, born to a warrior family) and Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle (a bold elf whose society’s gender roles are completely flipped). Shenanigans ensue.

A quote:

“‘Why is language in the Borderlands so weird? Some of it’s modern, and some of it’s medieval, and I guess that makes sense with the influx of a certain amount of new blood to the training camp every year, but how do some words and phrases transfer, while others don’t? Why do you know the word ‘jerk’ and not the word ‘bisexual’?’

‘I guess people say the first word more,’ said Luke.”

Next, The Nevernight Chronicle by Jay Kristoff. This epic three book series features badass bisexual Mia Corvere. It’s dark, bloody and heart-breaking, with an endless series of twists. Mia’s parents were killed during their attempt to start a rebellion and her quest for revenge leads her to join a school for assassins. Follow Mia’s journey as she attempts to bring down the leaders of the Republic with her constant companion, Mister Kindly, the wise-cracking shadow-that-is-shaped-like-a-cat. I loved this series as well. It’s a very different tone from the recommendation above (don’t get attached to your faves!) and it’s marked as adult fantasy (be prepared for sex and violence), so be warned, but wow, is it a wild ride!

Books by Ellen Kushner!!! I recently discovered her and I’m in love. Ellen Kushner herself is bi and has a wife who is also a writer. The two of her books I’ve read so far are Swordspoint (published 1987!) and The Privilege of the Sword. Both are fantasy of manners with bisexual duelists as protagonists. Swordspoint features Richard St Vier, an elite swordsman, as well as his close companion (and lover) Alec, a sarcastic scholar with a mysterious past. The Privilege of the Sword is set in the future of the same world, featuring a young girl named Katherine (who I love with all my heart) as she’s called by her uncle to the city to embark upon a path nontraditional to a lady, that of a swordsman. Both are excellent and super fun!

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee. Meet Lord Henry “Monty” Montague as he embarks upon a Grand Tour of Europe (the historical fiction version of a road trip) with his best friend Percy (who he’s hopelessly in love with) and his sister Felicity (who’s ace and has her own follow-up book which I also recommend – the Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy). Monty is charming, privileged, hilarious and the definition of a disaster bisexual. Follow along as the three of them stumble into hijinks and character development.

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. Our main girl Frances Janvier is a study machine whose only respite from academics is the fan art she draws for a podcast called Universe City. Then one day, the mysterious narrator asks her if she wants to collaborate. In a relatable turn, Frances is bi, but it’s just a part of her identity and the focus of the book is not a romance. Instead, it’s all about friendship and finding platonic soulmates and figuring out what you want to pursue in life. Alice Oseman’s writing is lovely and she tackles issues that feel very modern and relatable. I’ll also mention her webcomic (which you can find online for free) Heartstopper, which follows the romance between two boys Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson (and includes Nick’s bisexual crisis).

A quote:

“And I’m platonically in love with you.”

“That was literally the boy-girl version of ‘no homo’, but I appreciate the sentiment.”

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Speaking of bisexual crises, meet Alex Claremont-Diaz, whose mother is the President of the United States. His long-time rival, Henry, is a prince of England, and after an incident involving an expensive cake, the two are forced to fake a bromance for the sake of international relations. Actual romance blossoms instead.

Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey. In the land of Terre d’Ange, the motto is “Love as thou wilt”. Phèdre is a bisexual courtesan who receives pleasure from pain. Another adult fantasy (published 2001!), our heroine trains as a spy and is increasingly entangled in a web of politics and plots.

The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. This series is well-known, but I love it! Maggie Stiefvater’s prose is atmospheric, littered with small details that reward a reread, and her character relationships are complex. This series is a gem full of magical realism. Here’s a shout-out to our bisexual boy, Adam Parrish!

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Again, another popular book (part of a duology), but the hype is totally deserved! A diverse crew sets out on an impossible heist. Let’s send some love to two bisexual icons, Jesper Fahey and Nina Zenik!

A quote:

“If only you could talk to girls in equations.”

There was a long silence, and then, eyes trained on the notch they’d created in the link, Wylan said, “Just girls?”

Jesper restrained a grin. “No. Not just girls.”

Those are some of my favourites that I’ve come across so far. Hopefully I’ll find some more! I’m always open to book recommendations, especially those that feature queer ladies :)
