I haven't finished up Young Royals yet - but am interested to see how it ends! I do agree though, that Heartstopper gets better and better with each season. I like how more mature it's becoming.
I feel like young royals didn’t necessarily get worse with each season, but I did expect it to at least feel _bigger_ if that makes sense and it fell flat
4:06 i know nick would've said yes but charlie would've probably wanted to ask nick first especially when there's other relatives there and he was in a high stress emergency situation especially coz he just got out of the facility just days before christmas (dec. 17 to be exact), give him some slack. tori made her little brother her only lifeline she needs to work on that as well.
Hey!! This was a lot of fun to watch with you, as usual! And I agreed with a lot of your points. Similarly, the scenes with Imogen hit home for me too. I kept trying to participate in life the right way, but I just never understood the signals. I never dated in school, so that’s something I can't relate to, but really appreciate with this show. A lot like Mr. Farouk with his sadness for his child self and his hopes for the next generation. Like you, I was taught that finding a guy and getting married was end game. The only thing i really needed to do in life. So I did when i was 23. It wasn't until after I was married that I started the long road of putting together some of the pieces of the queer puzzle. I was told I was bi, which kinda made sense (?) since I was married to a guy and REALLY liked girls. Not knowing that's NOT what bi means. Like Imogen, I realized I didn't actually like any of the guys I dated in uni, it was just a necesary step in finding a husband (stupid comp het). I ended up divorced and my life fell apart for awhile. I blamed my queerness for ruining my marriage and got "revenge" by denying it even existed. 🤦🏻♀️ But it's painful to deny who you are. So I eventually put on my big girl pants and took the time I needed to repair my life, get some therapy, and learn what bi and lesbian really means. Mixed in with undiagnosed adhd, it really did feel like I never knew who I even was. Finally accepting that I'm lesbian and neurospicy was a life changer! The world opens up when you can be brave and accept the discovery of who you really are. 🏳️🌈 And if I may offer my 2 cents on "gold star lesbian"...? I think of it as an exclusionary idea made up by those privileged enough to have grown up in a safe environment that allowed them to know themselves early. Must be nice. But MANY of us did not have that privilege, for many reasons, and we certainly don't deserve to be shamed for it. We got here in the end and that's all that matters 💕 Ohmygosh sorry for writing a whole ass novel about my entire life! I couldn't stop 😆 thanks again for sharing your thoughts 🌈
Omg I haven't watched you in forever!!! I hope you're doing well, take the move easy and remember- Mental health is top priority!!! I really enjoyed this season as I felt SEEN! I've been through the same things as Charlie and loved feeling represented. ESPECIALLY Issac's storyline this season!!! Don't feel like there has been 1 aroace character in a show so this was AMAZING. My friends who watch heartstopper finally saw how I feel as aroace, I wanna hear your thoughts about this!!! I loved Elle's storyline too, which made me love Elle and Tao's relationship probably the best. JUST EVERYONES STORYLINE WAS AMAZING!! I'm FINALLY reading the last book to A Good Girls Guide To Murder, it was adapted into a show on netflix this August! I suggest watching it, it's awesome and with Emma Meyers.
I love the coverage of Imogen and her comphet. I feel a bit called out with her story, because even though I’m bi, I definitely think a lot of my boy craziness as a teen was more about what society expected from me.
I was actually with Charlie's mom. Like you can't expect her to go and allow her 16 year old to go spend the night at his boyfriend house. That just seemed dumb to ask
I try to think of it from both sides, I suppose. I do see the problem of letting a 16 year old go sleepover at his boyfriend's house but I also remember some of my friends parents letting them sleep over their boyfriends/girlfriends houses (but only when they had been dating for a significant amount of time)
@KristinaEspinoza they've been dating a year and Nick's been there for a pretty significant time in Charlie's life so what would be the right amount of time and what would be significant? Plus most teens just have sex anyway, so asking permission is trusting your parents and sharing with them that you're ready for sex. It's a form of communication. Both Charlie and his mum got heated so it desended into an argument, but it definitely was an opening for an honest conversation about sex, emotional safety and consent between mother and child.
I think it’s important to note that even though teens are asking permission, they aren’t really asking permission, they’re really just saying “hey I’m involving you in this big step because I love you” and when parents push back they end up pushing their kids away. No matter how much parents might not like it, it’s up to the teen if they’re ready, as long as they’re safe. And a long-term boyfriend who is a good boy is as safe as you can get. I say this as someone old enough to have a 16yo.

Heartstopper is one of the very few shows that got better and better with each season. Most shows are exactly the opposite Young Royals for example
