#I'm not immune to lgbtq lighting

#the 'I'm an ally' to 'wait, maybe I'm not as straight as I thought I was' pipeline

she took the ally part a lil bit too far

the lack of misogyny in heartstopper is so fucking refreshing. all of the girls in the show just LOVE each other. no jealousy. no cattiness. no competitiveness. elle, tara, darcy, imogen, and sahar are all just vibing together. in a world where literally every single tv show has women being pitted against each other, it makes me so happy to see full love, solidarity, and support amongst these leading ladies.

season 2 + group hugs

I must've been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes

heartstopper's imogen heaney vs 9-1-1's evan buckley an ally, you say....mmhmm sure, sure....

“Could I maybe have a hug?”

Heartstopper season two has me in a full chokehold

Very obsessed with Imogen's whole break up monologue and the reactions to it

Nick ready to put a stop to Ben talking to Charlie but getting surprised when Imogen jumps in

James chowing down like he's eating popcorn and watching a drama

This one extra behind Imogen with THE MOST REALISTIC listening in face

Mr Farouk and Mr Ajayi just letting the drama happen (whilst Mr. Ajayi 100% figures out who gave Charlie grief in the past)

One of Harry's mates saying 'She's got a point man'

The extra going 'WOW' when Ben storms off

The way everyone starts laughing and talking about it

Elle saying 'she's done nothing wrong'

Tao and Darcy saying Ben has 'stinky energy'

Even Harry coming to Imogen's defense was great

Another silly season 2 comic I made. Bonus:

Nick is president of the Ben Hope hate club

It's the same picture your honor

Please let imogen be bisexual in s3 🙏

IMOGEN HEANEY & SAHAR ZAHID HEARTSTOPPER | 2x08: "Perfect"

She’s everything He’s just Ben

Even though Imogen is such a small part of the show, the bits and pieces we get from her are so telling and make my heart ache for her. The way she stayed in her friend group even when Harry clearly didn't respect her. How even though she's close to Nick, she doesn't listen to his warning about Ben because she's clinging to anyone who makes her feel wanted. The lost and sad but unsurprised look on her face when everyone starts forming their Paris trip groups and she has no one to group with. The way she asks about joining Nick and his friends and is pleasantly shocked when they seem to actually want her there. She's so obviously a girl who's spent a long time if not her whole life feeling undesired and will latch onto affection wherever she can find it as a result, and though that part hurts, my favorite little side plot was her slowly integrating into the main group and seemingly finding real community and connection for the first time. I'm so glad Alice Oseman added her to the show. And admittedly I'm a bit tempted to write a little one-shot fleshing out her history and her becoming part of the group because she's important to me.
