Heartstopper is so sweet, wholesome, handled with such care and you can tell that this project was made with nothing but the most loving and thoughtful intentions. I'm not used to queer media being like this, frankly most media for teens/involving teens is always so sexualized, spreads misinformation, and ages teens to behave and look like adults. Teen media creates unrealistic and damaging expectations for what a teen's life looks like.

Heartstopper is the exact opposite of this

Yes I'm sure there are other great TV shows, movies, etc, that are positive for teens, but Heartstopper reminded me of what it's like to not be bombarded by Hollywood's glamorized image of these formative years. The only word that keeps coming to mind is "care". People cared about this show. People cared about the source material. People cared about the process of making the show. People cared about who their target audience is. People cared about the topics they were handling. People cared about having message and how to pass it on to their audience. People cared about every tiny detail and it shows.

This should be the standard. There are so many ways to give proper representation, have something to say with what you create, display artistic choices and creativity, and just make something that can connect with others. I don't care if it sounds like I'm biased or putting the show on a pedestal, I am shocked at how shocked I was to watch a positive example of queer youth that felt so honest, warm, and relatable even to those that are outside the intended demographic.

I hope I don't forget how it felt to watch this for the first time. If this is the impact that it had on me, I can only imagine what it must feel like to be a queer 15 year old seeing themselves on screen through these characters. No malice or underlying intentions, just reassurance that you're seen, your story matters, and there's a place for you here regardless of how dark things may seem.

#How lovely to think that when you watch heartstopper there's many people around the world watching it with you #Maybe not the exact same circumstances #But all of us with something in common #All of us being our most authentic #Watching a group of friends come together #Reunite #Find each other #Find others like them #Find themselves #And feel love in its purest form #heartstopper #charlie spring #nick nelson #netflix heartstopper

I’ve seen a lot of takes on heartstopper and yet there are barely any mentions of Charlie and his struggles. Like that 15 year old boy was bullied and assaulted to the point that he genuinely believes like his existence is a burden. He was outed against his will and knows how horrible it feels and is so fucking supportive of Nick throughout. He says ‘I’m sorry’ literally every 5 minutes because of all the trauma and truly believes that he has to be the one at fault when he has never done a single wrong thing-

That last scene where he tells Ben to fuckoff in the field is so fucking important because it takes so much strength to look your abuser in the eye and tell them to shove it up- and I’m so proud of charlie and I repeat?? Why is no one talking about Charlie Spring

chinese trainees deserved better :(

The C girls were the heart and soul of Girl's Planet. The finale hurt because those girls deserved better. It makes me so sad that several fan favorites were from C group and yet they got done so dirty. I hope they know that we did appreciate them and their hard work.

#girls planet 999 #Please support them in their future endeavors #Please support Xiaoting in Kep1er #I didn't think I would support the group #But I'm not failing my c girl that made it again

Should I be greatful that Yurina, Ruiqi, Yaning, Bora, Wen Zhe and Cai Bing didn't debut in a group called Kep1er? Just looking for the silver lining

#girls planet 999

Not mad at the girls, all they've done is work hard but neither Bahiyyih nor Chaehyun would be a good center for the team. There's still Yurina and Xiaoting left meaning that I'm preparing myself for the worst with Ruiqi.

The lineup is surprisingly good atm. It's just hard to be happy or positive when your favorite hasn't made it yet. I don't think 1-3 will be for Ruiqi so I'm hoping that the 9th place is hers

#girls planet 999 #Su Rui Qi #I'm scared

[rosen-blad]

I guess they gotta fill them 3.5 hours with something. Nothing is as entertaining as dead space in a show amirite?

#girls planet 999

[rosen-blad]

Idk if I'm being hateful for no reason but Kep1er is such an ugly girl group name.

#girls planet 999 #gp999 #The final's goal really is to disappoint as many people as possible huh

[rosen-blad]

I know this is O. O. O team 1, but why do I feel like this is Mnet showing us who they chose to debut? I mean they haven't exactly been subtle about the trainees that they like so.... Here's our debut team you guys!

P. S. I would be worried about Rui Qi and Chaehyun but Mnet loves to mix up the rankings the ep before the finale so I'm not.

#Girl's Planet 999 #gp999 #We all expected Mnet to rig everything #I like all of the girls #The favoritism isn't their fault #disappointed but not surprised
