Watching Heartstopper Has Made Me Realize That We’re Trained To Expect That The Other Shoe Will Somehow

Watching Heartstopper has made me realize that we’re trained to expect that the other shoe will somehow drop in queer media. That something terrible is just going to happen. (Someone gets outed or worse)

And Heartstopper presented us with an opportunity to create queer media without NEEDING for something terrible to happen. Honestly, it was refreshing. I’d like to see more content like this.

I’m honestly so glad that I still watch children’s television/ tv shows that have very general audiences, even as a university student. If not, I wouldn’t have decided to spontaneously watch Julie and the Phantoms after watching the beginning of the trailer. I thought that it would simply be a goofy show with one-sided characters and juvenile jokes. But I was hooked by the end of the second episode because of how it improved on so many tired and overdone tropes.

But imagine if Luke’s last name wasn’t actually Patterson, and the Fantom really just looked at that one scene/missing poster a little too hard.

what she says: i'm fine

what she means: i still can't believe simon's fucking "friends" abandoned him after he was traumatically outed to the entire school, over something as petty as high school relationships. they didn't even take an "i love you but i'm mad at you" approach, they forced him to face returning to school alone, even sit alone at lunch in total isolation. The hate incident happens in the cafeteria and they don't do ANYTHING. they don't stand up and say anything, they don't support simon, they don't even try to stop it. they just sit silently and watch as simon, and simon ALONE, confronts his attackers in front of everybody. yet somehow the narrative portrays them as The Good Guys, the heroes of the story who have nothing to apologize for.

What if “Crooked Teeth” is about having a difficult home life/ family problems and that’s why it’s about Reggie or why Reggie and Alex think the song is about the other?

I just started watching Hospital Playlist after finishing Reply 1988 last week and I literally started crying when they started playing the Sangmundong theme. Actually, I think whenever I hear it, I start tearing up a little.
