"they were all idiots for assuming you were straight." friendly reminder that tao was talking right through the tv screen to YOU GUYS for what y'all did to kit it's literally a gut punch to see nick coming out handled with so much love in this show while the very fans of said show ruined this kid's life

the fact that tao thought nick didn't like him is like the funniest thing to me bc this whole time it's tao who has been the biggest overprotective mom friend who's been giving nick the side eye at every turn while nick is just sitting there like the nervous boyfriend he is trying to impress tao and get his approval 😭

I almost screamed out of joyment when Nick said "I hate you because you literally assaulted him" because even tho that's obviously what happened, it's never explicitly said in the comics and i just loved that someone finally said what happened with its correct words, it was so special to me

by the end of heartstopper season 2, isaac picked up the ACE book from his library and openly read it and held it around his friends - as a representation of coming to terms with being aroace and even being/ready to be open about being so.
so if this is the case, the books that isaac reads in this season seem to represent the current state that his self-discovery journey is in.
for example, isaac is seen reading ‘boy erased’ briefly in one scene - a book about conversion therapy. suggesting that isaac is rejecting the idea of being aroace at this point in time.
as he gets closer to understanding his identity, he reads ‘summer bird blue’, which has an aroace mc but isn’t the entire focus of the book. this suggests he’s much more open to the idea of aroace and is looking into it, but discreetly.
and then, of course, he picks up the ACE book from the library.
but if this is the case, back in episode 3 when james and isaac were setting up the display, james says this:
as he picks up the book with ‘bi’ written in front. and isaac responds:
if the books he has read in this season represent his labels and self-discovery journey, the suggestion that he has read a book about bisexuality but disliked it, suggests that he has, in fact:
experienced the bisexual to aroace pipeline.

THIS GIF IS MAKING ME ACT UP—
As a touch starved person, seeing this sort of casual physical touch is literally life changing. IT’S SO SWEET AND INTIMATE IN A NON-SEXUAL, NON-ROMANTIC WAY.
Two people who are content enough to just be physical with no preconceived notions or anything is such a special phenomenon fr.

isaac didn't even check out the ace book he just said "this is mine now because i'm having a sexuality crisis" and he's so real for that

I want to thank Alice for this, in "sorry" it was the first time I've ever heard someone say the word "aromantic" in tv, it's something really important to me and generally to every heartstopper fan who's also part of the aro/ace community. It makes me so happy for this representation to also be made by my favorite author ever and someone who's also part of the community
