One of my favourite aspects in the season 2 of Heartstopper is how unapologetically intolerant everyone is towards homophobia. Like.
Harry showing up at Tara's birthday party and Charlie shutting the door in his face despite that apology.
Nick freely calling out his brother's biphobic behavior. Tori literally sinking her nails in David's arm when he was mocking Charlie and Nick and planning to out them.
It's so refreshing. There's no moment where someone asks Charlie or Nick to be the "bigger people" and forgive anyone who undermined, mocked, dismissed, and harassed them for their identity.
Because that shit shouldn't be tolerated ever and it's not acceptable. Queer people aren't here to be your redemption arc.
Aegon was the son Viserys always wanted, the son he slaughtered one woman and raped another for, the son he neglected his daughter for. And yet he did not love him.
Helaena was the dragon dreamer Viserys had always hoped to be, the holder of the Valyrian magic he so revered. And yet he did not love her.
Aemond was the lover of dragons, the eager student of history, the kindred spirit Viserys was never able to find in court. And yet he did not love him.
I will rage forever at how much Viserys should have loved these kids. He should have loved them so fucking much. Every single one of them embodied one of his deepest hopes and dreams. And yet he spent the rest of his miserable life punishing them for his own goddamn decision to bring them into this world.
Aemond when his killing machine kills the person he told them to kill as a joke:
The Stranger Things casts dances “The Upside Get Down”
what is wrong with me?
i have seen people say that "heartstopper is shit because it is made by an aroace woman". and i get the whole ownvoices thing, it's important that people get to tell their own stories. but pretending that heartstopper is immediatly bad and problematic just because the creator of a story focusing on mlm is an aroace person is just ridiculous. the same happened to the writer of simon vs the homosapiens agenda. she was, first of all, harrassed for 'being straight' and she later came out as bi. but ppl still thought she had no buisiness at all writing about a gay man
a lesbian can write a beautiful and meaningful story about a bisexual man, a trans man can write an acurate story about a nonbinary person. every community deserves to tell their own stories, but just bc sometimes other ppl write stories about them doesn't mean these stories are bad and morally wrong and inaccurate
BUT ON TOP OF THAT the producer (patrick walters) and director (euros lynn) of the show are both gay men (and many other people working behind the scenes are queer as well, it's just a bunch of queer ppl). these gay men got to be in charge of directing and producing the show. these people put their visions on this story. this is not a random person trying to guess what the mlm experience is like. alice really does understand it, and they're now working directly with ppl who have that lived experience
also side note can ppl please stop invalidating alice....i've even seen people saying that they're not even queer and shouldn't be writing any queer stories. i saw one post saying something like "she's just an asexual woman who uses sometimes they/them". alice is queer. aromantic and asexual people are queer. and please stop invalidating they/them pronouns and pretending people use those pronouns just for attention

I think Jaime Reyes just ended the "everyone is beautiful but no one is horny" curse because he 110% got laid at the end of that movie
