my heart is stopped

Heartstopper is hands down one of my favorite teen drama shows ever. Honestly don't remember what other good teen dramas I've watched but no matter. I'm going to be talking about one show tonight and one show only and that is my beloved, Heartstopper.


I'm by no means a member of the LGBTQIA+ community so it's a given I wouldn't be able to relate to most of the themes in the show. But, my God, the rest just hit home sometimes. Tao's fear of abandonment for example. I was once in his place. I couldn't make out my place within my friend group that time and was positively miserable. The fact that it was a very cloudy day, on the edge of raining, was like a laugh to my face from the heavens. You really thought that utopia would last? Poor thing. Well, yes. But technically I knew I was bound to face that type of issue at some point in my friendships. I dealt with it surprisingly well or much better than how I would've fared if it happened today. Probably just a mindset thing since I'm still drained from academics though.

Back to the topic.

Tao was basically my spirit animal throughout the whole watch. I was elated when he and Charlie finally talked to each other. I wish I had the same confidence when it came to confrontation. I could feel it would have fixed a lot of past problems for me. Regardless, I strive to be as confident and headstrong as Tao Xu. He is now one of my fictional role models.

As for the other characters, I loved them all. The main characters by the way. Harry and his rats can fuck right off the edge of the earth. Figuratively, obviously, I'm not stupid a flat earther.

Anyway, I would very much love another season. The last episode almost made me tear up. I say almost because half the time I was just jumping around and squealing in the living room (Sorry, Mum). So, Netflix, do your thing, use your money and give us another season. Or just all the seasons to cover the whole story to be honest.
