by the end of heartstopper season 2, isaac picked up the ACE book from his library and openly read it and held it around his friends - as a representation of coming to terms with being aroace and even being/ready to be open about being so.
Tumblr media
so if this is the case, the books that isaac reads in this season seem to represent the current state that his self-discovery journey is in.
for example, isaac is seen reading ‘boy erased’ briefly in one scene - a book about conversion therapy. suggesting that isaac is rejecting the idea of being aroace at this point in time.
as he gets closer to understanding his identity, he reads ‘summer bird blue’, which has an aroace mc but isn’t the entire focus of the book. this suggests he’s much more open to the idea of aroace and is looking into it, but discreetly.
and then, of course, he picks up the ACE book from the library.
Tumblr media
but if this is the case, back in episode 3 when james and isaac were setting up the display, james says this:
Tumblr media
as he picks up the book with ‘bi’ written in front. and isaac responds:
Tumblr media
if the books he has read in this season represent his labels and self-discovery journey, the suggestion that he has read a book about bisexuality but disliked it, suggests that he has, in fact:
experienced the bisexual to aroace pipeline.

Isaac saying that he’s never had a celebrity crush during truth or dare is so real, I feel so seen, I’ve been in that situation so many times and every time nobody believed me and idk if it was just cause it wasn’t focused on very long but it didn’t really feel like nobody believed him so I’m happy he didn’t have to go through that but I just… it was such a good scene, thank you Alice for putting that in there

Obsessed with the fact that Isaac is generally pretty quiet, even when he’s with his friends, but the second he’s put next to Harry he’s like “listen here you little shit”
He immediately comes to the defence of his friends. Anyways I love this show and I love him.

Half the people talking about ace rep in Heartstopper season 2 are talking about Isaac and the other half are talking about Tori. Could you imagine a show with not one but TWO canonically ace characters???? I’m LIVING!!!

Isaac’s storyline in Heartstopper season 2 is so important to me. We’re going to have all these teens seeing themself on screen, seeing the struggles of “what even is attraction anyway and how does it feel?” Seeing the moment when you’re coming across the terms Aromantic and Asexual and finding a part of you that you never understood or wanted to understand come to light. And it feels so much better than you’d have ever imagined. Having to tell a good friend that you’re not interested, and having to hear a platitude that doesn’t actually comfort you. “You’ll find someone, you’ll feel it eventually”, knowing that it probably will not apply to you, but if it does what does that make you? A liar, a late bloomer, indecisive? (Don’t worry it doesn’t - labels can change and feelings can too, identifying with one label at one point and a different label at another is totally fine!).
Finally realizing that you’re ace/aro, and being so so so happy about it. Knowing you’re not alone or weird or wrong, but you’re just you and that’s perfect.
Teens will be able to see that, and see themselves in Isaac’s storyline! It’s so awesome that we have that, and done in such an amazing way too, it makes me so happy.

Yeah I’m once’s again posting about Heartstopper especially about Isaac.
God last night uggghhh. I felt so called out in many scenes like you won’t even believe. The “asking your friends to ask them how does it feel to like someone” gave me a wave of embarrassment cause I did that when going through a time I felt like I had to like someone who liked me. Plus the smallest scenes and moments showing Isaac’s dilemma while noticing all the couples around him with the kind of slight doubt and unsure feelings written in his face like UGH I GET IT.
And it hurts me that only I get it.
Watching this with my friend and her boyfriend in the same room was a doozy. Of course I didn’t mind them cuddling and flirting, it’s just, looking at Isaac and seeing the isolation and inability to fall in love while being surrounded by his friends who are all participating in their own romantic journey was like having a mirror directed at me. I feeling of seeing myself play put on screen felt so alien cause I never could relate so badly to a character before. But what kinda ruined the experience was my friend who seems to not understand that Isaac was going through an AROACE story. Not just an asexual story.
Spoilers moving forward:
Ever since my friend found out that James was going to be a potential love interest for Isaac, she was stoked, while I knew very well this was going to be a “realization” story. I knew from the beginning that this was going to be an aroace experience about how even though someone likes you, you can’t like them back cause your unable to feel anything for them. Still, for some reason, my friend still pushed and wished for the potential ability of Isaac getting romantically involved with James and it made me realize she didn’t see Isaac as being aromantic. She knew he was asexual but she was doubting the fact that he was aromantic and had the mentality of “he is asexual but he can still feel romantic love.” It wasn’t until that Isaac talked to the artist in the exhibition and they explicitly said “aromantic and asexual” that she finally admitted that Isaac is aroace. Like, she really needed to be told by word that Isaac is aromantic to basically confirmed his validation. Which… hurt cause… it isn’t obvious???
Throughout Isaac’s whole journey there were so many hints and clues about him going through his aromantic and asexual identity but it seemed she kept pushing for Isaac to be at least being alloromantic because… love??
The fact that an explicitly aroace character was still getting amatonormativity pushed upon them was just… so sad…
I felt for a second erased. Misunderstood. Or like the possibility of being aromantic isn’t possible cause I mean who could reject love?
I left her house basically about to break into tears because of Isaac’s journey but I hold it in cause I didn’t wanna bother her about something that she wouldn’t understand.
It’s just… it hurts really. The one character created for us to represent the aspec community being pushed aside and have their identity be invalidated or turned around made me realize that no matter what we can’t escape the expectations of society. The need to get into a relationship cause it’s just “oh so beautiful” and “everyone will meet the one” .
Im so happy to see myself in Isaac, but just so… miserable too.

can i just say i love how y/n coded issac was this season. he's effortlessly beautiful. he's getting amazing grades. he's standing up for himself when he needs to. he's curious about the world around him and himself. he knows who he is. he has no idea who he is. everyone is a little in love with him. he brings a book to a party.
