For those who haven't read the books, in them Charlie gives a long speech about how even if Harry is sorry (which judging by that stupid grin, he clearly isn't) it doesn't undo all the psychological damage he did and as such Charlie is under no obligation to forgive him. I actually prefer just not giving him the time of day, I'll wait for the next episode to go into more detail but there is another character who in my opinion needed to hear it much more
He was trying to be better to them all season tho so he is really sorry but i dont think he realize how big the damage he caused so maybe thats the reason for his grin but still he is getting better and better since the last fight so i'm curious for his conclusion (i read the whole webtoon except chapter 7)
Yeah but considering all the screentime he has had, and as far as I know he didn't leave the show like Sebastian, did he? so perhaps he will get a proper reedemption.
Have you read the book Nick and Charlie? He means that sorry but it was half-assed since at that moment he just wanted in the party. He needs a lot of improvement and over the years (since nick and charlie is set in the future) he gains the trust from both nick and charlie and is friends with the both of them, and Harry actually loves their relationship. And yea a simple sorry doesn't excuse anything but what you can take from "Nick and Charlie" is that Harry didn't just apologize, he changed and improved to become better.
yesss literally every change they made from the books to the show i have loved so far, and i usually think either works just as well or even better than what was in the book; i think it helps that alice is so involved in the show's production
For clarification on Isaac (and for clarification on asexuality), he is aromantic and asexual. What this means is he does not experience romantic OR sexual attraction. Isaac’s discomfort with kissing is likely due to his aromanticism, not his asexuality, because many asexual people are in romantic relationships and do in fact kiss their partners, they just don’t experience sexual attraction. Not all asexuals are aromantic, but Isaac is, which is why he is uncomfortable with the idea of kissing and romantic relationships. Tori, on the other hand, is canonically asexual and alloromantic (alloromantic is the opposite of aromantic, it means you do experience romantic attraction).
My read on Tori's possible labels on both the asexual and aromantic are the opposite. I don't want to discuss too much unless you're currently reading the new pages of the webcomic. In fact, you might be ahead of me (and therefore know more specifics on her labels) if you're on their Patreon. I'm currently on the speedy attempt to make the concert on time... But I've read everything Alice has written (except the early Patreon pages) and I feel Tori is absolutely on the aromantic spectrum as well. I'm aroace myself, so maybe I'm reading into it what's not there, but I believe she's coded to be aroace.
@@genadiaz1988everyone has their headcanons, but i need to clarify that tori is ONLY asexual. every time alice has drawn tori, it has only been with the asexual flag, unlike her other aroace characters georgia and isaac, who she has drawn with BOTH aro and ace flags. and tori has only specified that she is asexual
Really like the comment, just wanna say that throught the series we cant say if Isaac not wanting to kiss is bc of his asexuality or aromanticity. They usually play along or can be like, different things you are confortable is are like that bc of one or the other separetely. Just refering that cause of the "asexual people can be in romantic relationships and do in fact kiss their partners", which is totally true, but not always the case, as an asexual demiromantic, if I was in a romantic relationship with someone I would never kiss that person and thats 100% on my asexuality! I dont wanna sound mean at all, what you commented is correct and helpfull, I just wanted to AD this point
Exactly, you can also be aromantic and not be asexual There are aromantic people of every sexuality, they do fell sexual attraction, they just have no interest in having a relationship
I love how consent has been such a key element of Nick and Charlie’s relationship from the start, from Charlie asking for permission before their very first kiss, to Charlie asking permission again (3x, until he confirmed that Nick really wanted to) before their first public kiss at the arcade, to both Nick and Charlie asking permission for their first neck kisses, and then their first conversation about sex in this episode. They’re always checking in with each other. ❤ They’re also both so good at picking up on nonverbal cues and making sure they have *enthusiastic* consent, like in this moment when Nick said “yeah,” but Charlie noticed that he “didn’t sound very sure.”
Issac actually isn’t a character in the comics he’s only in the show, same with Imogen. In the comics instead of Issac there’s a character named Aled who is I believe demisexual. He isn’t featured a lot in the comics but I’d recommend reading Solitare and Radio Silence since they go more into depth about Tori and Aled’s character. Issac’s sexuality is explained a little more in the later episodes but I’m pretty sure he is asexual.
Harry's apology is so half-assed like I know he's changing genuinely but at that moment he just wanted to get into the party, he still has a lot of improvement to do.
Harry is obnoxious, but is mostly harmless. You can see he is actually growing based on his defense of Imogen at the restaurant, and Nick and Charlie at the Eiffel Tower.
@@cecilia8515 I agree, but I meant going forward. He’s a stupid immature kid who said some horrible things, but if you follow his story along with the others, he does show some personal growth.
@@jcs1025 I have already finished the show and I agree that he does show a bit of growth but he has a lot more to do before he can fully be redeemed. So I don’t blame Charlie for not letting Harry into the party. Harry didn’t mean the apology at all he just wanted to go to the party. The way he said “I know I have said some homophobic things” was said in a sarcastic way like he didn’t believe it.
Waaah thanks for pointing out that detail! Had not noticed, but yes, it's the shirt that Farouk was putting into the closet when they bumped into each other, when unpacking on the first day in Paris
(from my own knowledge, please correct me if i’m wrong) Issac is aromatic and asexual. He wasn’t a part of the books, but is instead an adapted character of Aled Last whose character was in Alice’s book “Radio Silence,” and who also appeared a couple times in the Heartstopper series. Issac was also created with the intent of expressing the character “Georgia Warr” who was the mc in Alice’s “Loveless.” So essentially, Issac is a character created just for the show that is an adaptation of Aled and Georgia !
I didn’t come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24 and didn’t come out until I was 27 so Farouk’s speech hit me LIKE A TRUCK in the comic. And it was just as impactful in the show.
12:08 actually, Isaac is Not from the Books, he's a Show original Character, so even the book readers were surprised with his Character development, specially us the Aro ace gang, the representation was on point, really well done, accurate and heartwarming
FRUITY FAROUK!! The teachers together was always my favourite ship when I read the books , the books are a bit different then the series, I do recommend reading them too!
I've watched the season basically like 10 times through reaction channels and yet it just occurred to me that Darcy's "I love Paris" shirt is PAN COLORED!
Sooooo Isaac isn’t actually in the books. His character was created for the show. Charlie, Nick, Tao, and Elle do have a friend named Aled who is demisexual, and you can read more about him in Radio Silence! (Which I very much recommend, it’s a beautiful book.) Also, minor spoiler for Mr. Farouk: in the books he says “Well when you don’t come to terms with your sexuality until your mid-twenties…” and Mr. Ajayi replies “that recent? You’re only twenty-six, right?” So Mr. Farouk feels out of place not just bc he feels “too old” for teenage romantic experiences, but also bc he only accepted it very recently.
You should probably rewatch this episode with the subtitles on. It does have English subtitles for the French dialogue. Sadly, Nick's dad reminds me a lot of my dad. It's just never fun when your dad barely remembers you exist. I totally feel Nick's pain in that scene.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction ever since the second season came out! I’m so excited! I also really want Elijah to react to Our Flag Means Death one day (maybe when she finishes Gravity Falls?) I’m obsessing over it so hard right now. I need her to fangirl over Jim!
Consent is sexy! I also love how this show displays different kinds of consent besides sex, such as kissing. Like when Charlie asked Nick if he wanted to kiss him the first time. Then asking each other if it was okay kissing their necks. I also love how they’re taking things slow with their relationship. Not judging those that move fast, it’s just nice to see something wholesome and show different types of relationships. To those who go at their own pace, it’s nice to know they’re not alone and it’s okay.
@@Dead-fire Never saw it but I think I know of the one you mean. Back when they were throwing everything at the wall to see what they could or couldn't turn into a horror movie, yeah?
When Elijah was talking about consent and communication being the best at 17:23 through 17:35, why did she sound like the marrige guidance book from "It Takes Two" when it says "CoLlAbORaTioN!!!" And explains the keys to a healthy relationship! 🤣🤣🤣
i've been waiting for this reaction forever!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for this episode to premier! This is going to be so much fun!!!! @not-so-average-fangirl, thank you for introducing me to Owl House and Arcane! I'm on episode 10 in season 1 at the moment!
Dude i love how we get to see ace rep with Tori and aro (or aroace) rep with Issac because as someone who wants to be in love more then anything but is ace and maybe aro I can relate to Issac on a personal level and as much as it hurts to watch I’m so happy I get to see this in media! I always hear about how happy people are when they see queer rep in shows and tho I’ve always got that (cuz I’m pan) I’ve never been so happy to see someone like me because it means the world to me! 😭
you know what the funniest thing it, its the fact that Tao and Elle already acted like a couple before. They already were linking arms and holding hands, the only thing they do different now is that they kiss😭🤭
I'm so excited for Baby Queen's debut album, Quarter Life Crisis. All of her songs that were heard in the show will be included in the deluxe edition of her album.
just saying,- when mr ajayi was like " don't tell me you didn't do this stuff" " with a boy" was one of weirdest funniest cutest ways of hinting to someone that your fruity ahahahah
Rewatching this through you has made me realize how much of my writing has been influenced by this show. I’ve never been in a proper relationship like that, but when I write my show it reminds me so much of the dynamic of these two. I didn’t even really notice until like halfway through when I just thought to myself “Istg ive written this exact scene before” 😊
Im usually annoyingly good at predicting shows and I did or a lot of this series but ill admit that Mr. farouk hit me completely out of left field and I was here for it lol
I'm SO glad this came out, and so many people got to watch Issac struggle this season, because Asexuality feels so underrepresented and unknown even in the queer community. Even Elijah saying like wait Issac, talk to him! But he can't, because he literally doesn't know what to say. He's never heard of it. And growing up ace is SO hard, because you think maybe you could be gay, and then you realize that doesn't fit either, and you're like on the other side of a glass pane, watching your friends have feelings that you can't quite emulate no matter how many books you read. And then you don't want to hurt others by making them feel like they're the problem, so you just...don't. Luckily Isaac found out this season. Spending years and years wondering when that magical thunderbolt will hit you and terrified it never will kinda sucks. Love Heartstopper for giving us this kind of struggle as well ❤
Idk why but seeing you so free to be yourself and knowing you're in a happy relationship always makes me hopeful. Sometimes I cry watching your videos because people don't like me in person for being loud and doing a lot of the stuff you do in your videos everyone always says I'm too much but I have managed to make 2 friends although no one ever wants to date me and looks at me like I'm disgusting if I get a crush on them. Seeing that you have a happy relationship gives me hope that I will find love with an amazing girl/guy/nonbinary/genderfluid person one day. Thank you so much for making videos and giving me hope ❤
I read a lot and my favorite books are the ones that have consent. Like you said, consent is sexy. I will see people complain in book groups and book reviews about too much consent in a book. I legit love it. Can never have too much consent.
I can understand the teacher not realizing I'm bisexual till 24, I didn't get to experience those gay highschool moments either, instead I was horrifically homophobic to mask the fact I'm bi, so that sucked, but you can always explore at any age and grow, also the other teacher is my type would definitely kiss him too.
Seeing a completely healthy relationship with consent and communication makes me sad, considering the horrible one I was in that was basically 0 to 100 in one night and just, overall wrong.
Awww what a heartfelt reaction. Farouk by the vending machine also made me cry when I watched it, and now you and him have me tearing up all over again ❤
One thing I loved from the comics that doesn't show here is that one time (before this episode), in the bus, the teachers were sitting by each other and Nick and Charlie pointed at them and then looked at each other smiling. You're not the only one who ships!
In fact Issac is a charcter exclusive to the show the charcter that take's Issac role is aled the protagonist of the sister book of hearthstopper radio silence
9:46 I've been trying to interpret Tara's look at the party when she's looking at Darcy. It's hard to say whether Tara doesn't like when Darcy drinks, or maybe Tara wanted a romantic one-on-one moment in Paris with Darcy (not a big party), or something else. I noticed it right away the first time I watched this episode, but I still don't know what she was thinking or feeling in that moment.
Asexual here; Aromantic and Asexual folks can be okay with romance stuff around them - but this varies from person to person, just like it does for people who experience romantic and sexual attraction. What can get uncomfortable is when it's shoved into your face - that since everybody likes kissing and being intimate, you'd have too. And you berate yourself for not being like everyone else.
I relate to Issac a lot. He's aromantic asexual. And I think he either wants a relationship or just gets strong friend crushes. The aro community calls them squishes.
Yes it is Where's Wally in the UK, the books were written by UK childrens author/illustrator Martin Handford, the name Waldo was used in some countries as it was felt that the name Wally was not recognised in those territories.
Fun fact the Book they are reading before Tao says that he and Elle Kissed is Where’s Wally which is a slight goof because in France the character is Charlie, England the character is Wally, and in the US it’s Waldo.
I'm happy that Harry is changing for the better, but he has a long way to go when it comes to redeeming himself. No one will forgive him that quickly for what he did.
3:02 ish Are you watching with subtitles? It should translate the French. There are two versions of the English CC/subtitles. Try the other one. The dad basically says that rugby is a good way to get a girlfriend. It worked for him and David. Girls like rugby players.
I love your mini meltdown of queer joy overload as you gush about how Alice is giving us everything ❤ However, as an aroace person myself, I feel like we too are getting everything from Isaac's storyline. Representation for starters, and seeing him start down the path of self-discovery regarding his sexuality and romantic inclination, where confusion and fear can be prevalent, makes me feel seen. It can be really helpful to people, young and old, to see this topic handled to delicately ad truthfully.
obviously he still has A LONG VERY LONG way to go, but I feel like Harry might be on a redemption arc. Like am I gonna like Harry, probably not, but i might be cool with him. At least (unlike Ben) Harry had the decency to knock on the door, ask Tara if he could come in and AT THE VERY LEAST, apologized and took responsibility. and the party didn't get shut down by a teacher so he didn't tell on them when they refuse to let him in, even though he could have. idk🤔
He asked Tara if he could come in, then ignored her when she said no. 😬 But yeah he’s on the path to at least no longer actively bullying people… growth I guess.
12:25 Isaac character doesn't exist in the books, he was created for the series. In the books instead of him there is this other boy called Aled. Aled has basically Isaac personality except that he talks even less than him but when he does it's always the right thing. Canonically Aled is demiace so I don't know if Isaac too will be demiace or ace, I thought he was ace too. The reason why probably Aled was replaced by Isaac it's beacuse Aled it's also the main character in another book wrote by the same author of Heartstopper so maybe they didn't want to put too many stories in the same place.
When Nick’s father was talking to Nick in French he was saying Nick could meet a girl through rugby because he doesn’t know Nick is with Charlie. But maybe the subtitles weren’t working? I think Harry didn’t mean his apology but he is begging to change.
The dad said in french : "don't give up rugby, the girls love rudgby players, david had lots of girlfriends when he was your age " 🤦♀
thank you for the translation
Yeah I’m surprised the captions didn’t pop up for her. They came up for me when his dad spoke French. 🤔

As a lesbian trans woman who came out at 24, Mr. Farouk's words hit hard
I feel that; nobodies taught me how to do things like makeup and skincare and how to dress. Gotta figure out that mess on my own and it’s rough 😅
I know right? I came out last year when I was 26. So Mr Farouk’s words at that moment hit me hard
this but 35.
well I though I was ace for a bit before and after figuring out I'm trans. but yeah.
Congrats for coming out! It’s always hard. I came out as non-binary 2 years ago and it turned my life into the worse.

Rewatching this through you has made me realize how much of my writing has been influenced by this show. I’ve never been in a proper relationship like that, but when I write my show it reminds me so much of the dynamic of these two. I didn’t even really notice until like halfway through when I just thought to myself
“Istg ive written this exact scene before” 😊
Watching you experience the whiplash of this episode is so CUTE!!
Im usually annoyingly good at predicting shows and I did or a lot of this series but ill admit that Mr. farouk hit me completely out of left field and I was here for it lol
This is my favorite reaction from you! I squealed just as much all episode when I first saw it!
I'm SO glad this came out, and so many people got to watch Issac struggle this season, because Asexuality feels so underrepresented and unknown even in the queer community. Even Elijah saying like wait Issac, talk to him! But he can't, because he literally doesn't know what to say. He's never heard of it. And growing up ace is SO hard, because you think maybe you could be gay, and then you realize that doesn't fit either, and you're like on the other side of a glass pane, watching your friends have feelings that you can't quite emulate no matter how many books you read. And then you don't want to hurt others by making them feel like they're the problem, so you just...don't. Luckily Isaac found out this season. Spending years and years wondering when that magical thunderbolt will hit you and terrified it never will kinda sucks. Love Heartstopper for giving us this kind of struggle as well ❤
Idk why but seeing you so free to be yourself and knowing you're in a happy relationship always makes me hopeful. Sometimes I cry watching your videos because people don't like me in person for being loud and doing a lot of the stuff you do in your videos everyone always says I'm too much but I have managed to make 2 friends although no one ever wants to date me and looks at me like I'm disgusting if I get a crush on them. Seeing that you have a happy relationship gives me hope that I will find love with an amazing girl/guy/nonbinary/genderfluid person one day.
Thank you so much for making videos and giving me hope ❤
I read a lot and my favorite books are the ones that have consent. Like you said, consent is sexy. I will see people complain in book groups and book reviews about too much consent in a book. I legit love it. Can never have too much consent.
My favorite episode omg I've been waiting for you to get to this one 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
8:40 I'm listening while working, and I saw the City "Orlando" as a shipping destination right as you said Orlando. Fun Coincidence.
Had a heart attack when I heard Lucy Dacus in this episode. Her music is ingrained into my soul
There’s so good for each other too. Their chemistry is unreal.😊😊
Y'all, this show is amazing. HOWEVER, it makes me feel so single-
You are literally the cutest! I love your reactions. ❤
I can understand the teacher not realizing I'm bisexual till 24, I didn't get to experience those gay highschool moments either, instead I was horrifically homophobic to mask the fact I'm bi, so that sucked, but you can always explore at any age and grow, also the other teacher is my type would definitely kiss him too.
Stay tuned for Issac :)
Seeing a completely healthy relationship with consent and communication makes me sad, considering the horrible one I was in that was basically 0 to 100 in one night and just, overall wrong.
Awww what a heartfelt reaction. Farouk by the vending machine also made me cry when I watched it, and now you and him have me tearing up all over again ❤
One thing I loved from the comics that doesn't show here is that one time (before this episode), in the bus, the teachers were sitting by each other and Nick and Charlie pointed at them and then looked at each other smiling. You're not the only one who ships!
In fact Issac is a charcter exclusive to the show the charcter that take's Issac role is aled the protagonist of the sister book of hearthstopper radio silence
This show is everything.
9:46 I've been trying to interpret Tara's look at the party when she's looking at Darcy. It's hard to say whether Tara doesn't like when Darcy drinks, or maybe Tara wanted a romantic one-on-one moment in Paris with Darcy (not a big party), or something else. I noticed it right away the first time I watched this episode, but I still don't know what she was thinking or feeling in that moment.
Asexual here; Aromantic and Asexual folks can be okay with romance stuff around them - but this varies from person to person, just like it does for people who experience romantic and sexual attraction.
What can get uncomfortable is when it's shoved into your face - that since everybody likes kissing and being intimate, you'd have too.
And you berate yourself for not being like everyone else.
I relate to Issac a lot. He's aromantic asexual. And I think he either wants a relationship or just gets strong friend crushes. The aro community calls them squishes.
Squishes??? Omg that's so cute 🥺🥺
Team where Nick and Charlie spend a little time before going to the party just the two of them was so romantic. I love that scene.😊❤❤
Yes it is Where's Wally in the UK, the books were written by UK childrens author/illustrator Martin Handford, the name Waldo was used in some countries as it was felt that the name Wally was not recognised in those territories.
I love your reactions to this show. I really want to see you react to Red White and Royal Blue sometime too.
I knew I could sense the love between the two teachers❤🏳🌈👨🏿🏫👨🏻🏫
I completely forgot this was live and got scared cuz the red bar was at the end and I was like “this isn’t the end of the ep” lol 😅
Fun fact the Book they are reading before Tao says that he and Elle Kissed is Where’s Wally which is a slight goof because in France the character is Charlie,
England the character is Wally, and in the US it’s Waldo.
Can we try to get her to 500k 🎉 please
Nick has finally decided to come out to everyone!! I'm so happy!!!
“Tell me Farouk’s fruity” ELIJH WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY
literally two minutes ago i was saying i cant wait for next episode and wondered when its coming
IM SORRY FOR WHATS TO COME IN THE NEXT EP
I just wanted to say I love you and your reactions
I'm happy that Harry is changing for the better, but he has a long way to go when it comes to redeeming himself. No one will forgive him that quickly for what he did.
3:02 ish Are you watching with subtitles? It should translate the French. There are two versions of the English CC/subtitles. Try the other one. The dad basically says that rugby is a good way to get a girlfriend. It worked for him and David. Girls like rugby players.
I really hope that Isaac finds that special someone!!
I'm on the 1rst Volume of the books and I love it!!+
12:04 btw isaac isnt in the books! in the books instead of isaac there is somebody named Aled instead, i think isaac is ace btw!
Tao and Elle finally kissed!!! I love it!!!
They will explain Issac's thing in a little while... but you didn't fall that far from the answer girl
I love your mini meltdown of queer joy overload as you gush about how Alice is giving us everything ❤
However, as an aroace person myself, I feel like we too are getting everything from Isaac's storyline. Representation for starters, and seeing him start down the path of self-discovery regarding his sexuality and romantic inclination, where confusion and fear can be prevalent, makes me feel seen. It can be really helpful to people, young and old, to see this topic handled to delicately ad truthfully.
You can put on subtitles and it tells you what they are saying in French :) (cause they speak it in future eps)
11:22 Since the season started I was thinking: "Elijah, don't get your hopes up for them."
nicks dad said : continue playing rugby girls love that, in ur age david had a lot of girlfriends
obviously he still has A LONG VERY LONG way to go, but I feel like Harry might be on a redemption arc. Like am I gonna like Harry, probably not, but i might be cool with him. At least (unlike Ben) Harry had the decency to knock on the door, ask Tara if he could come in and AT THE VERY LEAST, apologized and took responsibility. and the party didn't get shut down by a teacher so he didn't tell on them when they refuse to let him in, even though he could have. idk🤔
He asked Tara if he could come in, then ignored her when she said no. 😬 But yeah he’s on the path to at least no longer actively bullying people… growth I guess.
It's Where's Waldo? in the U.S. and Where's Wally" in the UK.
I'm not going to be able to make it in time😢 damn I hate school
Yes I was able to make it in time👏😁
Your reactions were awesome... So sweet.🌈🌈 can't wait to see you reacte to episode 7... It was the most intense episode.. you will love it ❤❤
Yeah, in England, it's "Where's Wally" instead of "Where's Waldo"
I love your reactions😂❤❤ you go girl👏👏
12:25
Isaac character doesn't exist in the books, he was created for the series.
In the books instead of him there is this other boy called Aled.
Aled has basically Isaac personality except that he talks even less than him but when he does it's always the right thing.
Canonically Aled is demiace so I don't know if Isaac too will be demiace or ace, I thought he was ace too.
The reason why probably Aled was replaced by Isaac it's beacuse Aled it's also the main character in another book wrote by the same author of Heartstopper so maybe they didn't want to put too many stories in the same place.
You will LOVE the books
When Nick’s father was talking to Nick in French he was saying Nick could meet a girl through rugby because he doesn’t know Nick is with Charlie. But maybe the subtitles weren’t working? I think Harry didn’t mean his apology but he is begging to change.
Dude I'm so excited!!!!
