protective older sister Tori Spring is not kidding around.

Heartstopper | 2.03 & 2.07

what people think alice oseman books are like: blushing awkward first meetings, little chaste first kisses, giggling teenage boys holding hands what alice oseman books are actually like: hey what if your entire personality is actually a carefully constructed facade to make other people like you and to disguise the fact that you don't actually know who you are. if you stripped away all the walls, all the artificial things that you think make you up, what would be left? what would happen if you stopped living for other people and started living for yourself? is there even a person in there or just a gaping void with nothing left in it? wouldn't that be fucked up? do you even know yourself? do you even have a real personality anymore?

Cheers to Heartstopper for being one of the very few teen romance shows that doesn't make a big deal out of prom. Like yes, the characters are excited about making a grand entrance with cute outfits..... But that's literally all there is to it. Prom isn't life-changing, it's quite frankly boring, as Charlie mentioned. I loved how the group ditched prom and went to Nick's place to have fun.

New Heartstopper q&a is up on Tapas now!! Here are some of my favourite answers 🍂

this is so husband of them i'll cry

never forget this.

tori and nick’s friendship is seriously so underrated

like actually. cmon. when charlie was in the hospital, they would spend four hours in the car together multiple times a week, and nick even said that they got to know each other pretty well. and i’m assuming that they talk a bit when nick comes over to charlie’s house too. plus they’re the same age and like they would just be great friends istg

the way my mental health is being held together by one british gay nerd, his rugby lad boyfriend and his depressed older sister.

i love you charlie spring

the scene where nick and charlie try and stay up all night is so so 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. we can see how carefree and happy they truly are. no one is watching or judging them, they have no curfew, no homophobes or bullies to sort out. its purely them in their own bubble, and i think its so lovely to have a connection with someone where you can be yourself and not be scared because you know they will be there no matter what. in that moment they are 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦
