The thing about Charlie falling behind in school is that it’s not really about Nick at all. I don’t know if it’s just obvious because I’ve read the comic/books, but to me it comes across as much more related to his mental health than his boyfriend. Remember, Charlie is a “proper little nerd” who is good at “literally all school subjects.” This isn’t normal for him. As someone who was a straight A student, right up until I suddenly wasn’t, it was never about distractions. It wasn’t because I spent too much time with my friends or I was on the internet too much. It was deeper than that. When those were taken away, it didn’t make it any easier to do my work, it just made me more depressed because I lost the few things that still brought me joy.
The fact that he lies about having finished it to Nick shows that he is very intentionally avoiding working on it. He can’t bring himself to do it. Procrastination like that can so easily come from obsessive and compulsive behavior (which Charlie has). Especially for someone who has prided himself on his good grades in the past and is putting that extra pressure on himself. If he can’t make an assignment perfect, he might as well not do it at all. This is obviously irrational, and it’s an incredibly difficult mindset to get out of.
But Charlie’s parents don’t see the reality of how their children (yes, Tori as well), are struggling. They see their former A student on the verge of failing, and blame it on the boyfriend instead of seeing it as the very obvious red flag it is.
THIS
i think nick also doesnt want to out ben with telling imogen about charlie and ben, so its quite complicated situation to be in
Its definately complicated. I think if it were me, my love for Imogen would take over and I would have to tell her. But I'd make it clear that if she said anything to out him them I would take personal offence as thats not okay. I don't think she would do that anyways, just say to him privately that its over and move on.
Not only is there the issue of outing people, but assault is also a super personal thing and if Charlie hasn’t expressly told Nick that he could tell Imogen, it would also not be cool to tell her, which might be another reason he didn’t say anything
Nick could literally just say that he overheard Ben assault someone and had to physically intervene. He wouldn’t even have to elaborate on who it was or the context. He could also just ask Charlie what he is okay with him sharing with Imogen.
There is no moral obligation to avoid outing someone who has committed sexual assault and/or emotional abuse, where it is being done to protect a potential new victim. The only reason for Nick to not say something is to avoid outing Charlie as a victim of that assault and abuse without his consent.
@@LilithSterlingyes, thank you. I feel like people have been ignoring that fact, I think it's Charlie's place to tell her IF he feels comfortable or if Charlie says you CAN tell Imogen then he obviously can
In David’s first appearance, he said “I borrowed your Nintendo Switch”. When I was growing up, everyone had siblings, and any one of us would have instantly translated that as “I looked all over your room and saw your pictures kissing a boy”. All of David for the rest of the episode proceeds as a plan he created with that knowledge.
Yeah, I think that this is one of the things you really on pick up if you have read the books or are rewatching. David portrays himself as reasonable and like your average nosy older brother, but everything he does from the moment he is introduced in the episode is a calculated ploy to get Nick to admit his sexuality.
@@queerlyvictorianTo me, it's not so much "admit" as "feel bad about".
@@jazzlovr6515 Yeah, I can see that. He's knowingly pushing buttons just to get a reaction. I'm just thinking that he seems so insistent that Nick should just "admit he's gay" that it feels like the intrusive sort of homophobe who claims to value the truth when actually they just want a reason to bully you.
@antonmaslowski3055 100% We have all met this kind of person. Their 'reasonableness' is so deeply entwined with ulterior motive that their mere presence is unsettling. They can’t be trusted to mean anything sincerely when being 'nice'. And sadly they exploit people's willingness to give the ebenfit of the doubt, or how difficult it is to explain one's doubts without bringing up very personal experie ces.
Omg I never thought of that and I watch the show so many time haha the things you learn from people in reactors comments
I don’t think David’s behaviour is normal older brother teasing, it’s clear from the moment Nick sees him that he isn’t comfortable around his brother and already hates him so they have probably never had a good relationship.
I absolutely hated Tao season 1 but now knowing that his dad died it explains why he’s so desperate to hold onto people in his life.
David gives me insecure jealous sibling energy. Like he’s always competing for his parents’ attention and nothing is ever his fault. Maybe he’s jealous of Nick being the baby or really good at rugby. Especially with the comment: “Wow, imagine what dad’s going to say??!”….it seems David feels like he’s finally gained their parents’ favor by finding something “wrong” with his little brother 🙄 I can’t believe he’s in uni, he acts like he’s 12 years old.
Nick is caught in both a moral and practical dilemma here. He desperately wants to get through to Imogen just how bad Ben is, but doing so would almost certainly mean outing Ben. Not only does he not want to do this on principle (it is after all a very personal principle to him - and Charlie), but Ben also has the capacity to out Nick in retaliation. In that circumstance I can understand why he struggles with the conversation with Imogen and why he finds it easier just to be angry at Ben and try to put him off. And yeah, David got my back up the same way! The actor playing him does a really good job - you hate him but can't take your eyes off him. And I'm actually going to speak up a little in Nick's mum's defence - we don't hear everything she says to David, after all. She's also dropped into that situation (which she's never been in before as far as we know) with no warning, and with it already a raging argument so it's perhaps not surprising she goes for(/starts with) the 'easier' infractions where she knows what needs saying. I also think it's not necessarily clear to her in that moment that he is genuinely being biphobic and homophobic rather than just having stuck his nose in and wound Nick up in the way he probably does every time he's home. Lastly - I love the Tao and his mum scene. It does give so much context for Tao's reactions to change, and particularly (perceived) loss.
I agree about Nick's mum. Biphobia and homophobia isn't something she's ever had to deal with before, so she doesn't know what to do. She's probably still sorting out how to talk about those issues (what are good terms to use and such) and she's on a bit of a steep learning curve here. But I feel like she's totally committed and will do the work. She's going to be one of those mothers who will go to Pride wearing a "Free Mum Hugs" t-shirt.
I will say that it the comics, I feel like it takes her a little too long to REALLY put her foot down against David’s constant biphobia/homophobia. I think that’s the only flaw I’ve ever found in Sarah. But I also cut her a lot of slack because she’s done SUCH a good job in every other way and she’s a single mom with a shitty co-parent and two bickering boys that have obviously been affected by their father’s absence.
Yes your take on Charlie’s parents is so good! I think every adult watching it is like “Ooh, yeah, time for parents to step in and hold him accountable for making some time for his coursework” but then his mom just makes no effort to be empathetic or open up a real conversation. Talk to your kid! Ask what’s going on! Work together to come up with a solution. Immediately banning him from seeing Nick isn’t just obviously going to make him resentful and sneaky, it’s also robbing him of the opportunity to learn about how to balance time between your partner and your other responsibilities, which is a skill he’s going to need for the rest of his life.
Also, I really don't think Charlie's struggle with school has anything to do with having a boyfriend per se. The way she explains things to Tori in the first episode, I think it's more about him carrying his trauma with being outed and wanting to protect Nick, to the point of prioritizing that over his own life. He's probably so busy trying to support him that his school work doesn't seem so important anymore, which is fair because he's dealing with something that's just a lot for a teenager. And we did see in season 1 that he has some mental health issues too, so I think Nick helps him stay grounded in that sense. The way his mom handled things, Charlie will probably feel victimized and won't want to share anything with her in the future. For someone with mental health issues, that can be very dangerous, he really needs a support system and it would be very helpful to have that at home.
Yeah no, I’m 41 and I think Charlie’s parents are really crap and more think it’s time for his parents to actually be supportive of him and his mental health.
@@southernbellebabiesCharlie’s dad is not complete crap he’s more supportive of Charlie than his mom
I don't think people talk enough about Nellie straight up growling at David and protectively leaning onto Charlie. GROWLED. WARNINGLY at a person she definitely has lived with long before she met Charlie. That is not just a red flag, that is THE red flag. Accompanied with sirens and flashing lights.
Also I was so happy to see your upload that I physically smiled. Today was a bad pain day, so it was a big achievement for me. Thank you for making it so much more bearable.
🩷💛💙
I’ve read stories of women who were with abusive men and say that the first sign was how their dog(s) acted around the man. Dogs can be the victims of a lot of abuse without being able to tell their owners. Sometimes they even witness children getting abused and get protective of them.
I think that it’s entirely possible that Nellie has seen David abuse Nick, and has possibly also been abused by him. And then she’s like “bitch, not Charlie too”
Yes! Even just a few months into the relationship, it's clear that Nellie thinks of Charlie as a member of her family, probably far more than David ever was. Plus, she understands that Charlie, as well as being nice to her, makes Nick happy. As such, she wants to protect him.
Have noticed that in the convrrsation with Ben all Nick cares anout are others: Charlie and Imogen, Ben on the other hand projects his insecurities on Nick, making him feel guilty and miserable.
I really appreciate your deep and thoughtful reactions. I love Nick's mom, but in this case, I am disappointed in her. She chastised David for going in his room and winding him up, but didn't about being homophobic, biphobic and totally dismissive of Nick's sexuality. I also dislike Charlie's mom for being so harsh and cold. But Tao's mom gets a big gold star for being such a great, supportive mom.
💯
What's worse is David said "turned my little brother gay" which adds a layer of condescension and phony concern. He's just really gross but, unfortunately, very believable.
I love that they kept Charlie hating Marvel movies, Its even funnier now the Joe has been cast as Wiccan in Agatha Coven of Chaos. He is going to be perfect!
Just because someone has issues it doesn't mean they can get away with treating other people like shit. Or be abusive to them.
Charlie’s mum is shown in the comics to have grown up with her own mum being abusive to her. I personally think her critical and controlling parenting is the root of most of Charlie’s issues.
It is. I saw a psych analysis of Charlie on Tiktok and how his relationship with his mother is the main driver of his avoidance to confront his issues. There have been instances where Jane expressed that his needs are an inconvenience for her and her hardship as a parent is underappreciated. Maybe having 2 of her eldest children attempt to unalive themselves awakened something in her to change.
One thing I think is that David going into Nick's room is actually a much bigger issue than people make it out to be. Like not only is it an invasion of privacy but it is practically their last safe space (reference to Elle) left to them. They start the season happy and kissing, then they loose out on Charlies house having to keep the door open and Charlie's mom banning Nick, then David comes home and keeps barging in to Nick's room, so now they have nowhere left to be open and themselves which to me just compounds all the other issues that come up.
I think nick diesnt want to out ben as well as yelling Charlie's story bc he went through a traumatic situation and a traumatic relationship and its not Nicks place to tell charlies story for him so i do think imogen should know some of why hes not a good person but not all of it
13:57 I wonder how your thoughts on this scene have changed, now that you know that David had already seen the kissing picture at this point in time.
Hmm good point I never thought of that. I think it makes him worse like he’s trying so hard to get nick to say what he is that he’s purposely annoying Nick to try to force it out
Agreed, Charlie's dad had the right idea but then the mom went a little too far. He's a teenager, he's gonna find a way to meet up with Nick.
Then again, if Charlie simply finished his history essay, the ban would be lifted pretty easily now that I think about it.
But controlled limiting is better than complete banning, especially for your child's happiness.
For many queer folks having a mum who is completely ok with you, but is a bit harsh and controlling, especially about schoolwork, would be a blessing.
Nick trying to be the big brother to Imogen that he doesn't have in David is beautiful and sad at the same time.
I had a similar reaction to your reaction of the David meeting Charlie scene. Watching it first time, second time, and even just watching your reaction of it always makes my heart rate go up a bit. Just felt very unsettling, and shows the no-so-great side of coming out/being outed to non-supportive people.
Every time I see that scene and the scene in the next episode that briefly shows David gets me riled up. It's entirely due to hating erasure of bi people and being a bisexual myself. I've never encountered people with that mentality, but I've heard horror stories of such people that I reflexively hate the use of the phrase, "If you're gonna be gay, just admit that you're gay," and anyone who uses it.
Edit: I love the small detail of Nellie growling at David when he enters the room when Charlie is the only person in there.
I agree with everything you said about the mom and charlie except that CHARLIE STILL DIDN'T DO HIS WORK OMG. Everytime charlie and nick were together I was like "aww cute. DO YOUR DAMN HOMEWORK"
Tao's fear of loss probably fueled his reaction towards Nick in season 1.
I wouldnt say dissapointed in Sarah either for her reaction with david even though she should have called him out more, but I think people really need to stop painting her as the perfect mum (overall, people need to stop going to extremes. It also works with people daying Charlie's mum is horrible). The tension between David and Nick comes from somewhere, and the homophobia/biphobia is just the surface of a deeply rooted problem which is very likely jealousy. It's something I have seen a lot in siblings. A jealousy that developped durkng childhood cause the youngest got more attention and the oldest got anxieties about it but as a kid you arent gonna hate your parents. So his hate when to Nick. And it looks like it has not been taken care of and the jealousy rotted in David which resulted in this type of bullying behavior. You will get other bits during the season that in my opinion confirms this. But it's really a very common problem between siblings, I have seen it at least 3 times.
To be honest, if Nick had told the truth to Imogen, I would have been very angry with him, it's neither his place to out Ben nor talk about Charlie's assault. He could have had a more calm conversation with her where he would have asked her to trust him. Here it sounded more jealous like "I rejected you but i dont like you dating this guy that you've known for longer than you've known me"
I also genuinly think there is some delusion in Ben, not realizing how bad he was and Nick is not the right person to make him wake up. Idk if he is dating Imogen just to piss Nick off or if his looks are just to try to prove to Nick he is unbothered
I agree about Sarah Nelson and Jane Spring being put in opposite extremes. I think that Sarah’s done an excellent job, especially as a single parent with a shitty co-parent, but I also think she’s shown herself to be imperfect in her dealings with David. I also think that the brotherly dynamic has to have SOME roots in a wider family dynamic.
People LOVE to hate Jane, and I really don’t think she’s that great of a mom, but I also think that there’s a lot of nuance to her that people just don’t see. I could talk about my thoughts on this for a looooong time, but I’ll just say this: Jane comes across to me like an undiagnosed neurodivergent person who subsequently didn’t notice that two of her kids were also neurodivergent and isn’t really properly equipped to help them. Additionally, she comes from an abusive home, and while she’s broken the cycle on physical abusive, she hasn’t managed to completely avoid emotional abuse.
I know a lot of people based their feelings about Jane on her behavior in the novels, and that’s totally valid. But someone pointed out to me that Alice was an older and more mature writer when they wrote Heartstopper, and Jane is a little more nuanced in the comics. Since then I’ve kind of preferred to lean on the comic’s characterization.
@@Finnthefroggy yeah I think Sarah did a really good job with Nick (not perfect though, cause let's remember he was still a little stressed about coming out to her) and obviously being a single mum is extremely difficult, but yeah something went wrong with David. For me it's a mix of multiple things, much more affected by the divorce cause he was older, childhood jealousy cause Nick might have gotten more attention from Sarah, so he tries to cling more to the dad but because Stéphane is shit that didnt work very well. And all of this just rotted and got worse as he got older.
Oh honestly feel free to develop more your thoughts. I do love a good essay discussion when everyone is polite with each other.
So yeah I wouldnt call Jane a great mum either, but she is far from being the monster people making her out to be. I will just disagree on the emotional abuse cause we are far from abuse. (//SHOW SPOILER//) For example, Darcy's mum is emotionaly abusive (//END SPOILER//).
But yeah I think she is too strict and scared of letting her children get too much freedom. And she is also bad at talking about feelings.
The fans of HS love to overely hate her and use the novels as justification, especially Solitaire. Except that we talk a lot about Tori being an unreliable narrator in it and making everything worse in her head, but people somehow forget to apply this to Solitaire!Jane. Obviously as you said there is also the fact that Alice puts more nuances in her characters now.
I also think people tend to villanize in some way not being perfect ? Like, if you as a parent are not fully equiped to deal with your mentally ill kids and even just arent equiped to notice they have a problem, people put that immediatly as being bad, as if adults were robots who were supposed to know everything.
So yeah, she is too strict and has a lot of work to do on herself and on her relationship with her kids but she isnt a horrible horrible mum who hates her kids
2:21 Fun fact, the actor that plays Charlie's father, Joseph Balderrama is British-Mexican. He does a lot of voice acting too, you can hear him in games like Dreagon Quest 11 and It Takes Two.
28:20 coming from an immigrant myself I can ddfinitely say that Tao responding in English to his mom is a very common thing amongst immigrant kids who spoke more English than their first language growing up! My sister is a 2nd generation immigrant, and though he fluently understands the Russian language, she cannot speak a lick of it. I am a 1st generation immigrant, so I can understand, speak, write and read it, but I wouldn't call myselc fluent. My writing and speaking skills are rather weak, I tend to speak in broken Russian more days than not
Yes His father is in fact from Spain.
It's a shame that neither of his kids speak any Spanish while tao and Nick are both fluent in Chinese and french respectively
William Gao has said he can speak a little Mandarin and like many first generation children who's parents aren't native English speakers, especially when only one parent speaks the language, he understands a lot more than he speaks.
WOW! Great eye noticing the bi-flag colors on that backpack. I totally missed it. But I'm oblivious in general which is why I read and watch thing more than once.
How would one describe Mr Farouk's accent? I swear accents in the UK seem to be different just by crossing a street, lol
I’ve been wondering this too.
Watching this prior to my RWRB movie watch 😌😌 this couldn’t wait
I love ur videos
Aww thank you x
Is this a new intro?? Or am I behind 😭 love it either way very cinematic
Its been in the last few hehehe, but hells yeah! thank you x
Another lovely reaction video. I really love how you start out empathising or attempting to understand a character’s pov. I also love how you talk as if you’re saying it to the character themselves.
This episode is such a good look into the more conflicting aspects of the Nelson and Spring households. Yan is an absolute goddess.
I just love your videos so much! you always bring up the best points and it's amazing for me because I feel like I love the shows even more when I've thought about them deeply!
this scene was so beautiful and so romantic and the song was perfect for this scene and rainbows around char looking at the photoes was so magical and there passion i cryed in this scene and to see how happy they are together its so amazing scene just love it
It's not really quite a spoiler to say later it's clarified that Tao's father died when he was 12, and that is when he became friends with Charlie, and, presumbaly, Elle. So they would have been a big part of his survival. Both my husband and one of his (and now my) oldest friends lost their parents when they were quite young. Our friend's father took his own life when our friend was 11 or 12, I can't quite remember. And my husband lost his father to illness when he was 14, almost 15 maybe? It definitely effected their friendship in an actual positive way. Each dad had an impat on the the friend, meaning my husband has very fond memories of certain times spent whit C.s dad and C very very fondly remembers Stu's dad. I mean, they just had a long phone conversation a few days back and my husband turned 59 this year and his friend will be 59 in January. C just sent my grandsons a vintage book of cars from when he was a little boy.
Actually, Tao said he had known Charlie since he was 11, which means he knew Tao when Tao's dad passed. Just a small FYI.
@@mamabeth834 you're kind of nitpicking. I meant that 12 was around the time he became friends, not exactly. Regardless, it doesn't invalidate the observation I was making.
@@Mixxie67 I wasn't trying to nitpick at all, I promise. I actually agree with what you said. I think it's a HUGE impact on not only Tao but also on Charlie. I actually relate to Tao and his fear of losing the people he loves- My older brother took his life when I was 10 and he was 12- to this day (30 years later) I am absolutely terrified of losing my loved ones or friends, or even disappointing them. Even yesterday, I was doing something for a friend, heard that I might be doing it wrong (no confirmation, but heard it COULD be wrong), and had a complete panic attack because I thought if it wasn't perfect I'd lose the friend. It logically made no sense, but losing a loved one at a young age definitely had lifelong impacts on how you react to life.
@@mamabeth834 I'm so sorry. That is so young for a suicide. The worst kind of loss. I lost my younger brother when I was 19 and pregnant with my eldest and he was 17. Our birthdays were 3 days apart and we were
really close. He died suddenly of an undiagnosed aneurysm although the official cause was drowning because he fell face first into a puddle. He was
camping with our older brother and some work friends on Labor Day weekend and had gone to watch some ATVs driving thru the puddles.
I guess it must have rained the day before. I never really thought much about that part.
It was sunny the day he died. That was in May of '87 and I still remember the like it was yesterday, my brother coming into my room to tell us Jay wasn't coming home. My parents and I happened to be in there planning how we were going to fit it out for the baby. My mom just cried out and cling to my dad. I kind of wrapped my arms around both of them and my older brother just stood there helplessly looking on. He had to ride in the back of the truck with my brother's body to wherever it was he had to officially go. Maybe it was the ambulance. Those details are really sketchy for me. It might be he rode in the truck to where the ambulance could get him. My mom was angry at my (future) husband because the discussion of marriage was up in the air. I called him and he came right over and went straight to my mother and gave her one of his best hugs (he was a big hugger back then). And yes, it does leave you with an awareness that bad things can happen at any time. I think being pregnant at the time heightened this for me.
@@Mixxie67 I cannot imagine being pregnant and going to the loss of my brother. I'm so sorry you and your family had to go through that, but I'm glad your husband was there for all of you. Love is a powerful comfort.
I’ve know a lot of sec of generation Cantonese speakers. They went to Chinese classes on weekends (primary school). Going over to their homes to play, their parents would talk to (scold) them in Cantonese and they’d reply in English “Yeah, yeah, okay Mom/Dad.” 😂 Yes, they understood. Yes, they could if pressed speak it. No they wouldn’t choose to speak it.
2nd gen experience from a 3rd party observer 😝
“Isn’t that the bi flag on that back-
EUHGGU🤮”😭
Nick can't tell Imogen because then he'd be outing Ben
David's behavior is definitely not "classic older brother", he's antagonistic from the very start, and you can see Nick's mood change the second he realizes David has come home, at the start of the episode.
In a deleted scene from episode 3, David asks Nick if he's going to come out to their father in Paris and says "as if he needs another reason not to like you" which is absolutely horrible
In the Heartstopper yearbook (iirc) Alice wrote that Sarah and Stéphane divorced when David was 8 and Nick 4, and that's indicative of the type of relationship they had and have with their father: David definitely felt the divorce more than Nick, and has let his negative feelings get the better of him
We've seen in this season that David goes out of his way to spend time with Stéphane, meanwhile Nick has an incredibly close bond with Sarah and from this season on won't let his father get away with any bs anymore
Both Nick and David are hurt by their father's behavior, but their reactions are the complete opposite: Nick doesn't want others to suffer, meanwhile David wants everyone else to be as miserable as he feels, and his little brother is the perfect victim
Sarah is an incredibly gentle and measured person, and I understand that facing the fact that your first child is an homophobic prick isn't easy, but she needs to get a grip...
I loved the new season and the fact you are just speaking the truth about his is just amazing i remember when you watched season 1 and love victor ❤
Hey Harry, is everything alright with you? You haven't uploaded any videos in the last two weeks.
imogen IMOGEN 🤮 got me rolling on the floor
I was definitely disappointed in Nick's mum for not saying to David jnnediately, 'You're acting and speaking like a prat and a bigot. What on earth is going on in your head right now? You are 21 and intelligent, there is no excuse. Get it together and apologise."
when your name is in your favorite show ever and spelled the same just pronounced differently bc their British and im American
As always love ur video's/reactions my brain has been heartstopper and red white and royal blue for a month now. I watched the red white and royal blue movie today and loved it. I finnished the book in 2 weeks like 1 week before the movie released
Harry posted a Heartstopper reaction kicking my feet and twirling my hair
I think that Tao only is in art class to have something in common with Elle
UGHHH WHY CAN'T I BE SUBBED TO YOUR PATREON I LOVE YOUR REACTION VIDEOS IVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR THIS
I love your reaction as soon as they show Ben and say doing good with gcse
You should watch the red white and royal blue movie
I’m not really sure where you’re getting that Imogen is Nick’s best friend. Even if she was his best friend, he definitely needs to tell her about the actions he witnessed Ben doing. He doesn’t necessarily need to say who it was with, but he definitely needs to tell her for her own safety.
Loving your reactions to this special show-can’t wait to see the rest!
Patiently waiting for your reaction to episode 3 🙏🏼
hi just wounding when u going to do the next episode
Ben will in Nicks head so simple
But in this case it IS kinda his fault. All he had to do was do his essay. Which we see he can crank out in a few hours (though I question the quality of doing it that fast). It's not exactly unrealistic that he still ended up putting it off, but it IS his fault.
I don't think she's being too harsh. Charlie is at risk of failing. He has to finish his work and he's still neglecting it. He could have done his history report in days and been allowed to see Nick again but he didn't.
I think she is a little cold and should really talk to him about it. But I don't think the punishments are unwarranted.
Nick could have been more specific and just not said who it happened to. Or Charlie could give permission to tell her (I know that would be outing Ben but in a case like this I think that's justified).
Watch the show and record your reactions and just space out the editing/release. I can't imagine limiting myself to an episode a week when they're all right there. My friend and I binged it in a night, heh.
You are my favorite reactor so far❤ i watched some on your patron. And you are quite cute.
David’s comment about “why can’t he just admit that he’s gay” kind of makes me look at Nicks mom’s reaction a bit differently. Because she tells Nick that he doesn’t have to say that he likes girls if he doesn’t. I dunno, maybe I’m reading too much into it and she meant it in a comforting way. But with David’s reaction and knowing that these kinds of ideologies are learned… I dunno. At least her reaction was much, much kinder than David. But it definitely made me think and revisit. 🫣
