what really gets to me is just how earnest nick is about his feelings for charlie, despite how confused he is about himself at first. he immediately goes to charlie the next day after their first kiss because he wants charlie to understand he doesn't regret the kiss, he's just really conflicted about himself. he doesn't ignore or shut charlie out while figuring out his sexuality and wanting to keep quiet about it at first, unlike ben. he makes it clear to charlie that he really likes him and doesn't want to go on dates with anyone else despite not being official yet. he gets really emotional when he wants charlie to realize how amazing and wonderful he really is and that he's changed nick's life for the better, and that he doesn't regret a single second with him. nick just communicating with charlie throughout the whole process is such a refreshing change from some of the shows we've gotten with lgbt+ representation in the past, and i'm so glad that lgbt+ youth and the community in general have a show like this to watch.
Even urban dictionary is bitter
I have literally so many opinions on heartstopper and all of them are good. but what I want to talk about right now is how we went through nicks journey with discovering his bisexuality WITH HIM. we watched him take “am I gay” tests and research lgbt stuff. We saw his happiness when Tara and Darcy were able to kiss. We saw him talk to other lgbt people about what their experiences were. We saw him watch coming out videos on YouTube !!! We watched him come out to a few close friends at a time. We saw him rewatch pirates of the caribbean with a new perspective !!
We saw his journey!!! That was integral to the story!!! not just finding friendships and family and love, but finding yourself while in the midst of high school and all kinds of other stressors. This was so beautiful and I feel so thankful to have been able to witness this journey through media.
Okay so I may have named a star DRARRY so now we can seriously say that it’s written in the stars.

Remus—
I know this is perhaps not the best time to have this conversation, but as I’m on my twelfth hour of tending to witches and wizards and confused muggles and LITERAL children, I’m feeling the need to say the things I’ve been holding in my heart for quite some time.
I love you, which I think you know. And I can’t imagine a day without you. I see the looks of grief on the family members of the victims of this latest attack from Voldemort and his minions, and all of them say the same thing when I offer them comfort for their loss. They wish they’d have said the things they were afraid to say, or were putting off until tomorrow. I don’t want to live like that.
So here I am saying them, and I’ll repeat these words to you when I get home…if I get home.
I love you Remus Lupin, and I would be so honored if you would marry me. You don’t need to answer in an owl. But if this is something you are interested in, reach into the inside pocket of my leather jacket by the door. You’ll find a simple ring in there. Nothing extravagant, nothing sparkly, nothing over the top. A simple gold band decorated with a cosmic filigree. A tie of the night sky, the moon and stars, and everything written in the cosmos that tethers us together.
If your answer is no, I will understand that as well. Just know and understand that I will never stop loving you.
Forever yours if you’ll have me,
Sirius Orion Black
Not what I was expecting at all, but I like it! :D

regulus: I mean, if you're asking me do I love Potter the answer is yes but I just- I don't think its normal to want to kill you're boyfriend, you know?
Remus: oh yeah, no it definately is normal
Regulus: really
Remus: sure, everyone has that time once a month or so when they just feel the distinct urge to source a dagger and violently murder their significant other
Regulus: you're sure?
Remus: yeah totally, Lilly has threatened all of her girlfriend with an axe at least once
Regulus: phew! Thats a relief.
Remus: you know one time i stabbed sirius in the hand with a sharpened quill in class
Regulus:...what
Remus: what

OMG HELLO ??? BRB
Nick's bisexuality arc is probably one of - if not the - best part of heartstopper to me. Coz it's genuinely so nice to have a plot where a questioning character gets to not only research his sexuality, but also to talk to other queer people about their identities. He doesn't know automatically how he feels and he doesn't assume what anyone else goes through, so he goes and asks other queer people about their experiences
Nick asking Charlie about how he knew he's gay and asking Tara if she felt anything for him when they were younger is so nice to see, because you can see him start to understand that he doesn't relate to those parts of their queerness. He gets a chance to compare their experiences with same-gender attraction, and it helps him to figure out that he isn't gay but that another label would fit him better
And when he does decide that he's bisexual, he's accepted without arguments. The only time someone questions it is when his mum says that he doesn't have to say he likes girls if he doesn't, and when he confirms that he does like girls, she immediately believes him
Just them depicting a arc where people believe and celebrate him for learning that he's bisexual is so beloved. You can tell that this is a show written by queer people for queer people, and the compassion they show closeted people and bisexuals is just incredible because of it
I see the bad moon a-rising 🐺
