Another silly season 2 comic I made. Bonus:

Nick is president of the Ben Hope hate club

MY BABIES

imogen remaining the token “ally” in her wider circle of friends because she’s unconsciously gravitating to fellow queer people as she untangles her own sexuality… walk with me

Anyone who says that Imogen probably turning out to be a lesbian with comphet or at least some sort of sapphic next season is forced because "it's unrealistic that everyone in a friend group turns out to be queer" is stupid, because that is actually the most realistic thing about the show lmao. Most of my friends from my several different friend groups over the years have turned out to be queer; I came out first and then the others slowly started coming out as well. My current friend group has a single cishet person.

And my best friend right now? She's a lesbian. But-- she didn't know she was a lesbian when I met her four years ago, when I was 17 and she was 15. She thought she was straight. All of her friends at the time were straight, so she assumed she was, too, just not AS boy crazy, even though she pretended she was. Then I switched schools and ended up in her friend group. I was out of the closet already and was the token gay person in the group, so she and I ended up kinda bonding over the fact that we felt a bit left out with the whole boy crazy thing, since all the others talked about was dating guys and a couple of the girls were the typical straight girls who feel uncomfortable around lesbians, so I guess that's part of the reason why my friend also didn't actually feel safe enough to question herself even if she considered herself an ally. My best friend ended up falling out with the others but remained my friend; she had realized could relate more to me than to the others, and at some point, she told me she wasn't sure if she was straight herself, and she actually started questioning herself and figuring out that she was a lesbian and that all this time she just hadn't felt like she was around an environment where she could understand who she was without feeling judgement. Then she got a girlfriend before I did but that's not the point.

My point is that queer people tend to end up in friend groups that are mostly queer, so the friend group on Heartstopper only having Tao as the single cis straight friend is quite realistic. And just like my best friend, and lot more of my friends who didn't come out until I did: a lot of people need an environment where they feel comfortable in order to start questioning themselves, and that is usually around another queer person who will understand what you're going through. So, Imogen realizing she might be gay only just now that she has started being around other openly queer people because before she was around people who expected her to be straight and like boys and date her friend because he's a boy she's known for a while-- it is actually quite realistic. It happens a lot.

Using this to react to even the slightest change in vibes

Please she’s iconic

We as a fandom don’t talk nearly enough about the fact that not only do Imogen and Charlie have the same taste in men but Imogen’s taste in men just seems to be “attracted to Charlie” like that’s her one qualification

Harry standing up for Imogen in the restaurant in season 2 after getting decked by Nick in season 1 shows that feminists can also be homophobes. It's nice to see two worlds colliding.

Also when they were forming groups for the Paris trip and Imogen was standing there looking insecure and sad because she had no one to pair up with? That little moment broke me and I am not okay.

"Next time?"

The way these two words made me soft. That was the moment he realized that their night in Paris wasn't just a casual hook-up. The moment he realized this wasn't a one time thing and that Nathan wanted him around. That Nathan was actively seeking his company cause he liked him. And the way he's surprised yet utterly pleased?

The way my heart ached for Farouk when I first read the teachers bonus comic because he thought this night, which was special to him, was just a simple hookup for Nathan. His monologue about being inexperienced because he had only ever dated women and Nathan reassuring him that he doesn't want to rush things and that they'll do everything at their pace is literally so important to me.

This kind of dialogue wasn't in the show but you could somewhat sense it in all their scenes and little gestures. Idk, does this make sense? Lol. Just how they interacted and how calm and cautious Nathan was after their first kiss. This all send me.

Also, random, but... I saw Farouk and Ajayi and their journey getting compared with Nick or Charlie, but Farouk in this prom scene sort of reminded me of Imogen?

Like...they are both so insecure in their own ways, and they are both so surprised, yet happy when they notice they are actually wanted and people want them around? And that is so real.

Imogen being invited to a sleepover and ringing at Charlie's door, forcing a smile and fidgeting because she's nervous, and then all of them are greeting her excitedly, almost dragging her inside and she just naturally becomes a part of the group later on?

Youssef approaching Nathan during prom who just has the biggest smile on his face when he sees him?

Please give me some of that teacher and student content with these two, it'd be kinda funny cause it hasnt been done yet.
