A lot of the top reaction creators are scummy but when I hear people say that the entire genre is bad It just infuriates me!
As an autistic person Hearing somebody else's thoughts and reactions to something is well very entertaining.
I only watch reactions to videos I have personally watched the OG video before. It brings back the magic of the first time seeing something but through somebody else's lens.
When I hear channels like moist critical talk about how bad the entire genre is well It upsets me because most of what he does on which is reaction content.
Do I ever hear anybody ragging on film Cooper no, I hate to break it to you but his content is reaction content most of his videos are his thoughts on a thing, and is his reaction! A decent chunk of his videos are real-time reactions! But no he's a commentary channel Which is somehow infinitely more Superior to reaction content??
A lot of top commentary creators like to seem like their genres are infinitely more Superior. Well, I hate to break it to you but a decent amount of commentary channels are just reaction channels that only reacted to drama.
Nick is not green is sometimes a reaction channel. Hassan Piker is sometimes a reaction channel. but no commentating on things is completely different then reacting >:(
Reaction content deserves its place on this platform.
(I'm aware that a portion of reaction channels are really scummy trust me I hate Sniper Wolf as much as you do but we don't blame an entire genre for a couple of channels)
twitter*com/nickisnotgreen/status/1524224174159499269?s=20&t=hNc7vrsBBMh5bZmtncOWBQ hahahaha Nick quoted the worst larrie on twitter and she didn't like that. Hope she ends up in his debunk video
989 likes for Nick and only ten for lunatic Gracelynn. She's been tweeting about #frauddieclark and #elebeard for at least five years.
I don’t know who needs this specific clip of S2 E1 “if nick doesn’t kiss Charlie immediately without letting him up for air he will perish,” but I made it for you.
The pull up the stairs, the bounce off the door, the giggles, the KISSING.
things heartstopper does brilliantly because i refuse to let some of you monsters ruin it for everyone
1. models healthy consent practices!! oh my goodness!! asking to kiss, double checking that consent is enthusiastic, being honest about moments that lacked consent (see: b*n h*pe and imogen asking out nick). later in the books we get even more amazing examples of consent being an ongoing conversation!!
2. the teenagers act their age!! they’re awkward, they’re confused, they’re unsure of themselves, they are PLAYED BY YOUNG ACTORS!!! it’s realistic and beautiful and doesn’t set unreasonable expectations for viewers like almost every other show about high schoolers
3. SUPPORTIVE PARENTS!!! all of the parents we have met so far have been loving, supportive, compassionate, and patient. it’s so nice to have multiple queer and trans characters who are embraced by their parents and their friend’s parents from the beginning. and tao’s mom is an icon.
4. safe people and places!! the characters have trusted adults like mr. ajayi and mrs. singh and safe places like the art room that they can go to when things are rough. it models healthy support network building and healthy coping skills!!!
5. all the ways you can come out and be out!! it tells a beautiful “coming out isn’t always easy and it’s never the end of the journey” story without making coming out seem like a disaster waiting to happen. yes, charlie was outed - and people still jumped to his aid even before nick came around. no one pressures nick to come out (a major story arc some of y’all clearly didnt pay attention to) and they tell him it’s fine if he doesn’t know what to label his sexuality if he even wants to label it at all.
6. LETTING. BOYS. CRY. oh my god it’s so refreshing to see a show where boys get to cry instead of punching walls. and not once does someone tell them crying makes them less masculine. no one tells anyone to stop crying. they’re allowed to be emotional and it’s wonderful.
7. affection. i adore the way this show portrays all the small ways you can say “i love you”: a homemade picture frame, buying your apple juice every day, waiting until you’re ready, taking you to the beach, bringing over cookies for movie night, bringing their dog to the date to cheer you up, running over in the rain, punching someone in the face for you.
feel free to add more!!! i just want to highlight the best parts of this show + graphic novel series because it really is a masterpiece. i hope kit (and the rest of the cast and crew) knows that he’s doing a good job - a great job - and that no one else’s shitty behavior can change that.
🔥 ⚽ 🐓 Doctor Mother Goose Bradshaw & Doctor Rooster Bradshaw AU 🐓⚽️🔥
*
AU in which Nick Bradshaw never went the RIO road, instead he became a Navy doctor and his first ever patient was one fighter pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell.
Friendship at first sight. When Mav ended up at the hospital because of his shenanigans, he got lectured by Dr. Mother Goose every. single. time.
*
At some point, the good doctor got to listen to a loopy Mav's impassioned speeches about a blonde ice cube.
He met said blonde pilot who once came to visit Mav with flowers.
Well, he was pushed into Mav's room, rather rudely, by his giant of a RIO.
"Huh. Blonde Ice Cube, I presume?"
"It's Mister Iceman to you doctor!"
"Oh. And you are?"
"Free for a coffee right now. I think it best to leave these two alone."
Thia is how Doctor Mother Goose met Hulking Guy. Instant meet-cute.
*
Many years later, his son Bradley became a doctor. Chief Dr Bradshaw loved to dump his idiot best friend into Dr Bradshaw's care.
"What did you do AGAIN, Mav?!".
Then Mav tried to justify himself but it's hard to resist Baby Goose's sad brown eyes. So, he always tried to be on his best behaviour. Only for his favourite godson though.
*
Of course one of Mav's precious Daggers had to be hospitalised because of a training accident.
Jake "Hangman" Seresin thought for a moment the accident was way more serious 'cause wasn't he seeing double?
"Wow. Are there two Dr. Mc Steamy & Dreamy Moustache? Wow. Lucky me. Coyote. Do you see that?! Wow. Do you do house visits in case I have a problem later? Yes or Yes?"
"OMG. Don't flirt with my father!"
"But you don't mind my flirting with you, I hope?"
"Nope. He doesn't mind. And he's single."
"OMG. DAD. Don't pimp me?!"
"Ah. You do your best Navy fighter pilot a great service. Much appreciated Older Dr Sexy."
"Uh-huh. I'm out of here. You got it, son?"
"Ooooooh. Dad and son? Nice."
"Oh my god."
"Jake's fine for you, Sugar."
