As a straight girl who was raised by lesbians, I feel the need to answer Trixie's question: when I was like six, I did come out as straight to my mom and she still to this day loves that I did that and finds it endlessly entertaining lol
When Katya says “I think this is like retroactively healing like 3-4 generations of people” YES! That’s how I felt watching it! It’s so weird to be 32 and finding such comfort in this wholesome teen love story.
Katya said it right, this show is retroactively healing to like 3 generations. Seeing this cute representations of teenagers being bi(!) and gay without them being alone, sad, abused or actively dying is something I missed out on a lot in the 2000s, let me tell you
Pay a visit to the 'heartstopper syndrome' subreddit, there's generations of people finding out what they missed in their life just by watching this show. It's sad but it's also healing.
As someone still dealing with the damage done to me by Section 28 and the atmosphere it created, the closest I can come to watching the show is this recap. Watching gay teens have a (comparatively) normal healthy adolescence, in a British school no less, is just too much.
As a rule British men are known for their intellectualism. To quote “Aunt Ida” of John Waters fame; .*”I just use common sense, if they’re smart they’re queer and if they’re stupid they’re straight!”* _RIP Edith Massey_ 😢
Drag them? Shame on you for being like most of the USA media who on one side of their face try to denounce anyone for being gay, and on the other hand just completely devour all the teen sex they can consume. Basically as slutty as they can be especially gay teens, and lesbians...This is a show intended for a young audience that just happens to be good enough to be enjoyed by adults as well. And some PARENTS are watching this show with their kids to help them learn to be more accepting. This kind of comments, and attitude make me ashamed of much of the gay community who talk, and comment this way. (especially being gay myself, and I cringe how some of my community almost prove a point of the anti-lgbtqia+ haters who say we are all about sex and nothing else....)
no literally, back when i was in high school there were maybe two straight people in the theatre troupe and everyone else was all across the alphabet mafia, it was great
I also love how they can't wrap their heads around the idea that some people, esp. kids, just DO NOT want to rush into sex, sometimes it IS slow and pure like that
@@akym82810 So being weired out by TEENS who act like experienced sex maniacs as if they were in their 40s (and not just teens whon only start exploring the world, romance and sexuality) is being ''pilgrim''? Okay...
no it's like, not being sure what you really want. do they want it or not? even themselves don't know. heartstopper'thing is cute early-mid teen fantasy drama and elite's is very different from that, it's just this
@@ozibuyensin Trixie and Katya need to be a bit extra in their videos, so on Elite they make a show about the excess of sex because it's clearly a signature of the show and at the same time they mock the absolutely curated lack of sex in Heartstopper because it's also its signature
“being gay isn’t hard. straight people make it hard.” so accurate, and it probably applies to every relationship between a marginalized and dominant community.
me (bi) and my (bi) friend were literally saying this yesterday, 'since coming out i just assume everyones fruity unless they tell me otherwise' hahaha i mean, vibes do attract tribe and all that
Freud theorized that everyone is bisexual at birth. Through societal conditioning our sexuality (personality in general) is determined fully by age 8. The “gay gene” wasn’t a thing in Freud’s day. He also said a certain % in everyone remains bi throughout life. When you look at nature, apart from breeding season many animals hang in “same sex” groups (all male/all female.) Engaging in queer activity when not reproducing is completely natural. Humans think we’re so far “above” how other life forms in nature behave.
@@davidvento5481 gay gene???? I've never heard of that. But thats interesting, I always assumed people were generally on a spectrum of bisexuality (from liking the same sex to liking the opposite sex, as it can be 30/70, 90/10, etc), except ace and aro people don't fit into that, and there are other complicating factors. Ig forcing labels and morality onto situations just makes it more difficult to live our lives. People throughout history have had queer sex, idk why we think now that it's not normal
"It had consensual, loving, healthy expressions of love. Beautiful, wonderful examples of tolerance, compassion, and beauty. And that's why I had nothing to relato to" -- SAME, ME TOO!!! 😂
I’m so glad people are talking about this. I’m not even that old (27) and I still expect violence after any gay scene in a movie or series, or in real life. Even when it comes to my own relationship or even just walking down the street on my own I still feel that constant threat of being harassed/assaulted. That homophobic trauma really runs deep and I’m so so so happy this new generation doesn’t have to go through the same thing (as much)!
This is like the anti-Euphoria. Somewhere in the middle of over sexed, over drugged craze of Euphoria and this nearly puritanical almost non-sexual sweetness of Heartstopper is the actual high school experience.
Actually, when it comes to my old high school, both extremes were very true 🤸✨ It just depended on the friend group : About half of my friends went to raves and did hard drugs on the regular, going to class completely high and drunk af, orgies and shit happening in between minors (ended up in an orgy at 16 before I even had a threesome xcnnxjd) ; the other half of my friends were super vanilla, only had super basic knowledge about sex, never watched porn, and just needed much more time for anything to happen (even without being asexual, interested in sex just not ready to confront the irl thing yet)
I think the actual teenage scene is a mix of both series. There's the phase of sweet innocence and than the phase of sucking dick and cock. At least it was like that in the schools of the city I live in (I didn't partake in none of those phases because I'm depressed weird loner 😂)
MAJOR PROPS to the subtitler for the terminology! A+++ (Blonde women woo) (Trixie yawps) (Trixie hollers) (Trixie shrieks) (Katya kecks) (Trixie retches) (Katya chunders)
There is a LARGE Heartstopper fan contingent of over 50s who love it BECAUSE it would have been impossible for our era and are so hopeful for the next generations.
@@mojochayIn what way? I don't see how it's any different than other straight teen romance movies of the past. Must they be having constant sex just because it's a gay story? I didn't do anything til I was 18, and neither did a lot of my friends. I don't see how this story is unrealistic.
@@mojochay I mean this completely honestly but -- And? So what? Tens of thousands of hours of tasteless, boring, chemistry-less hetero nonsense, and one measly little gay teen romance is chopped because it's "unrealistic"? C'mon now. Get some perspective.
I love their frustration about the Youths being so chaste, but Katya's comment about how this show is retroactively healing people is so TRUE!! I was straight in HS (lol) and I WISH I had known at 15 that I could have said to my bf "I'm not ready for anything more than kissing right now." Like, even though Nick is the hottest beefiest most tolerant bisexual hunk, he's 16 and maybe he doesn't want to do everything right away!! Some of these scenes are very fantastical but truly it's the things we wish we could have said, and I hope it can act as a model for today's kids.
Yeah, I feel the same about it being cathartic perfection, like when you write a short story where you get to be with the person you wanted and heal through that precisely because it's the opposite of what really happened
As a teen I never understood the rush to lose one’s virginity. You should have sex when you are comfortable and not because your partner wants too. Always annoyed me in shows and movies when people got made fun of for being a virgin.
I respect their perspective about how the fact that no one wants to have sex is super unrealistic. But, i would like to share that for many people that is their favorite thing about this show, precisely because it is the most realistic portayal of their own highschool experience they've seen in media. I always thought other shows were unrealistic when every highschool couple took any chance they got to have sex so its nice to have a show that reflects the lesser expected highschool experience
Absolutely. This world of teenagers having constant sex and doing drugs is such an alien reality to me as my childhood was nothing like that. No one I knew had had sex and the most scandalous thing that happened was a few people would go to the bathrooms to smoke a cigarette. Heartstopper is so relatable to me.
Yeah in my school there were like 10 people having sex and it was a total scandal every time. We weren't sex fiends we were mostly still clueless virgins
It's an age thing, I think. There was a *lot* of sex back when I was in high school, generally as a reaction against the being constantly told the "NO sex until marriage" religious bullshit.
@@jdb101585im gen z, but my high school experience was like this too, maybe because i lived in a small town idk. there was a lot of religious pressure about being chaste, but most teenage couples were having sex (also drinking was a big thing). so i share an opinion more similar to trixie and katya lol
The moment Trixie jokingly made that sobbing voice saying "i thought you were gonna be mad" i fucking had to pause the video AND CRY. What a punch in the stomach. I'm so glad she talked about it 😭🖤
@@Linyenwa If the rumours are true that he's playing Wiccan then I kinda hope not. Billy is my favourite MARVEL comics character of all time, and I couldn't ever imagine a young Billy who is comfortable with singing in front of people. But then I'm intensely worried that the MCU will completely gouge and neuter Billy's entire character and arc because it's too dark and too gay for their brand. I would like to hear Joe Locke sing though. That could be nice.
"This actor with the curly hair (Joe Locke) could do runway or print modeling" -YES YES YES! A huge verbal slap in the face of all those cyberbullies of Joe!!!!
@@nodatastored684 I'm not sure if he is tall but he defs has unique features although I was hoping the actor would be slightly tanned skin as the comic made it seem he was although the author never really addressed it.
08:21 I was laughing so much when they said Nick and Charlie could have a room to themselves and just hold hands because that’s actually what happens 😂
That was triggering for me, as I knew Billy Jack Gaither. I won't subject anyone to the details, but the info is available by searching his name. For those who want to see just how far we've come since even then ('99), it's worth the pain of knowing to keep his memory alive.
I'm 30 and ace aro and seeing the scene with Isaac was really emotional for me. Its so great that the ace community is being represented and getting recognition because navigating through a world built around relationships can be tough. "This is like retroactively healing for like 3-4 generations of people" couldn't be more true!
Watching with envy ( as a 71 year old,) wishing there had been something like this during my adolescence. As you both correctly noted, this is for the kids, full of important, relatable issues, choices, solutions. The myriad of coincidences and the fact that that every friend is either LGBTQ+ or an ally, works in the realm of television. On "Sex Education," the whole cast is banging away on a regular basis and the kids on "Euphoria" are in a very different world than I ever knew. Next season they'll all be eighteen so Trixie might get to see more than she bargained for. And in any case, it's got Olivia Colman, so there's that...
I'm 27 and didn't have this either, I can't imagine what you've been through tho... Sending you lots of love and wishing you can live your life in your truth now
@@rumblefish9shameless is good looking back, but when you rewatch it they actually do a pretty bad job. Specifically with lesbians, they are horrific with their portrayal of lesbians in that show. /nm
As someone on the ace spectrum who still loves romance and kissing and all that, this show is really affirming to me and my high school experience! Also even for my friends who were not ace at all, we didn't really talk about sex/ none of them had sex or super long-term relationships when we were in high school. I know a lot of people definitely do, but I think there's like at least a third of people who don't either because they don't want to or just don't happen upon it! So honestly, this series felt super honest. I feel like Sex Ed also does a pretty accurate job with the more sexual side of high school, without completely overblowing it like you Euphoria and other shows.
Yeah, me and all my mates are queer. It wasn't even purposeful, I came out first and then it was like a domino effect. I'm still in high school (in the UK if that matter)
I absolutely love the fact that they don’t do more than kissing in this season and talk about not being ready. I think it’s unrealistic when shows about teens are actors in their twenties and all they do is have sex with each other. Yes it happens. But it also doesn’t. Teenagers don’t understand fully the complexities of relationships. So I appreciate heartstopper for their realness.
@@tzukishiro well yeah because so many teenagers feel pressured into having sex before they’re ready because of people like you sayin shit like that :/
people in high school are usually at maximum having sex with their bf and gf lol they're saying 15yo are not going on dates and hooking up like 20yo are. You're in every comment telling people who didnt have the same experience as you to get help lol @@tzukishiro
Trixie's absolute anguish at the lack of fucking has me in tears. My first gay relationship in high school was with someone who was asexual, and most of my friends were gay band kid virgins, so I watch the show like "yeah this is how teens are." I know people who had the euphoria high school experience but my gay friend group did have the mother goose suite of high school
As an asexual I get it but everyone around me was CRAZY, id see girls come the day after with huge hickeys and show em and full on guys lowkey making out in the halls, I graduated in 2020 so like, not THAT much time ago Imo it depends on the school, the country and the kind of people you hang out with
@hippomatrix it's not being horny on main, it's that the only intimacy allowed to gay men for years was a quick fuck, and stuffing all the love, tenderness, and affection deep down into that pit in yourself so no one can see and use it against you
I love how Trixie said they had every expression of sexuality contain in one small friend group cuz my friend group is literally like heartstoppers lol😭 Honestly this TV show feels so refreshing, sex is something literally none of my friends hace experienced and shows do kinda make us feel pressured about it! Heartstopper has made me feel like it's okay!
Ladies, Gents, and Theys, Please welcome to the stage Prudence Clearwater Revival. Whoever does the captions went absolutely OFF this episode, "Trixie disintegrates" is iconic, period. The amount of PERFECT French being spoken. The chaos in the beginning between screaming and gagging. The Alicia Keys singalong. Trixie's sharing her coming out story. I just. This episode is a journey and I'm immediately rewatching it again. And probably again.
I couldn't stop crying at Trixies coming out story. I wish everybody had a great sibling like that ❤ I wish everybody felt that much support in a moment of absolute vulnerability. ❤
I actually appreciate how wholesome this show is (I’m 35 😂) It’s actually nice to see teenagers supporting each other and being honest with themselves, the majority anyways. Seriously every American teen show is about rich teens, sex, drugs, suicide and murder like wtf
as a 22 bisexual who hadn't had sex yet i feel very represented and happy about the whole no sex situation bc, as much as you can't believe it!! being a teen and don't having sex its perfectly normal !!!! (i also understand your jokes and i had a lot of fun with this episode tho!!!) love you guys
I think people forget that Nick is still new to being bisexual. It’s one thing to be out and another to be intimate. Everyone goes at their own pace, and it can be overwhelming. So many LGBT media prioritizes the sexual aspect that it’s nice to have one that highlights the innocence of young romance
i mean yeah, but he did make the choice to style it in the worst way humanly possible- If my friends let me walk around like that I think I'd pass away personally
I’m convinced Tao’s wacky hair is because the actor Will Gao (who is far too young for me, let’s be clear) is superhumanly attractive. The character needs to be established a bit more cartoony, animated, goofy. He’s in the “kind of outcast” friend group, and even though he’s east asian and a film nerd, the actor is so beautiful (and tall) he needs a little grounding to read weirder on TV. He and Joe Locke (curly hair actor for Charlie) could and inlbelieve absolutely have do print modeling and could do runway too, I think most of the cast can and will, actually. Even after the haircut they make extra sure to communicate “dorky handsome” with the outfit and new hairstyle. But he’s moving into more of a leading man look in Paris episodes without losing the little visible quirks of his personality through acting.
You’re 100% correct. Could you imagine a taller boy who looks like Will Gao being bullied by a boy who like Harry? That’s not believable at all haha, so the director needed to tone down his looks
@@ultravioletcatastropheHe’s actually a pretty big character from the comics as well! His whole storyline highlights the experience of later-in-life queers.
I know a lot of people complain that the lack of sex in heartstopper is "unrealistic", but as someone who did not have sex in high school, I feel grateful for the representation. Not EVERYONE is doing that at that age, so not every show needs to have its teen characters do it either.
@@TylerMcShane haha i know they do, i read the comics (i’m pretty sure they are 16+17 at that time). I’m not saying I think they shouldn’t, I just don’t mind having seasons of the show in which they don’t, since so many shows do depict that. That’s all :)
Okay sure not *everyone* but a popular, good looking bi jock? 😭😭 Ain't no way. 90% of the people in these comments saying "actually it is realistic!" were superwholock ass band kids singing Hamilton songs in the hallways at lunch, no shit you guys weren't f*cking
I love that they were representing being slow in your first relationship. A lot of teenagers feel pressured to have sex and do it just because they feel like they need to because of the media.
tbh, one reason why I enjoy Heartstopper is because it's not trying to represent an accurate and relatable teenage experience. Most of the time when teen shows do this, I often find myself feeling left out because most o the characters' experience don't align with my own, so it's nice to see the HS characters just doing their own thing and existing in their own bubble for the most part
I personally think this is what teenagers in the present go through so it is representing their lives but not so much those of us who are way older than them. Not all teenagers do drugs, sex or party even if they will have romantic relationships so this story does represent real life a bit more even if some parts can seem too safe etc. This series is like so many other wholesome gay comics about teens including the Asian ones. Asian countries have been creating wholesome gay series and movies (with young and old gay couples) for a while now and I'm surprised it took the West longer than I expected to portray gay main characters in TV series.
I agree. I think it’s partly why I had a hard time getting through Euphoria. That just wasn’t my or my friends experiences. And even though this show isn’t 100% my experience either (like all the out kids) I find it a lot more relatable.
“Being gay is easy. Straight people make being gay hard.” Trixie with the word of the year!!

This is such a perfect way to describe society
The same applies for so many minorities

Freud theorized that everyone is bisexual at birth. Through societal conditioning our sexuality (personality in general) is determined fully by age 8. The “gay gene” wasn’t a thing in Freud’s day. He also said a certain % in everyone remains bi throughout life. When you look at nature, apart from breeding season many animals hang in “same sex” groups (all male/all female.) Engaging in queer activity when not reproducing is completely natural. Humans think we’re so far “above” how other life forms in nature behave.
@@davidvento5481 gay gene???? I've never heard of that.
But thats interesting, I always assumed people were generally on a spectrum of bisexuality (from liking the same sex to liking the opposite sex, as it can be 30/70, 90/10, etc), except ace and aro people don't fit into that, and there are other complicating factors.
Ig forcing labels and morality onto situations just makes it more difficult to live our lives. People throughout history have had queer sex, idk why we think now that it's not normal
@@davidvento5481Also Carl Jung believed that humans were essentially bisexuals (archetypes anima and animus).

Talking about the gay trauma is so so real. Watching Heartstoppers makes me realize how much I expect violence
I know! I fully expected someone bash Charlie's head with a baseball bat in the last scene.
We really all are traumatised kids inside.
I’m so glad people are talking about this. I’m not even that old (27) and I still expect violence after any gay scene in a movie or series, or in real life. Even when it comes to my own relationship or even just walking down the street on my own I still feel that constant threat of being harassed/assaulted.
That homophobic trauma really runs deep and I’m so so so happy this new generation doesn’t have to go through the same thing (as much)!
Absolutely, felt the same way. I hope younger folks can experience a world that doesn’t condition them like this.
@darlingjo7492tbh I feel that- even as a Gen z lesbian- I’m waiting for someone to do something terrible

This is like the anti-Euphoria. Somewhere in the middle of over sexed, over drugged craze of Euphoria and this nearly puritanical almost non-sexual sweetness of Heartstopper is the actual high school experience.
Both shows are true to life for teenagers in different ways.
In my opinion both Heartstopper and Euphoria are unrealistic and don’t signify the true high school experience 🤷🏻♂️
Actually, when it comes to my old high school, both extremes were very true 🤸✨
It just depended on the friend group :
About half of my friends went to raves and did hard drugs on the regular, going to class completely high and drunk af, orgies and shit happening in between minors (ended up in an orgy at 16 before I even had a threesome xcnnxjd) ; the other half of my friends were super vanilla, only had super basic knowledge about sex, never watched porn, and just needed much more time for anything to happen (even without being asexual, interested in sex just not ready to confront the irl thing yet)
I think the actual teenage scene is a mix of both series. There's the phase of sweet innocence and than the phase of sucking dick and cock. At least it was like that in the schools of the city I live in (I didn't partake in none of those phases because I'm depressed weird loner 😂)
I like the fact that this teenagers have options

You need to turn subtitles on. Especially for that part.

The story is still incredibly unrealistic lmao
@@mojochayIn what way? I don't see how it's any different than other straight teen romance movies of the past. Must they be having constant sex just because it's a gay story? I didn't do anything til I was 18, and neither did a lot of my friends. I don't see how this story is unrealistic.
to you maybe@@mojochay
@starlight3628 it's nothing to do with sex. 15 year old queers never find each other (most aren't even out) let alone date lol
@@mojochay I mean this completely honestly but -- And? So what? Tens of thousands of hours of tasteless, boring, chemistry-less hetero nonsense, and one measly little gay teen romance is chopped because it's "unrealistic"? C'mon now. Get some perspective.
I love their frustration about the Youths being so chaste, but Katya's comment about how this show is retroactively healing people is so TRUE!! I was straight in HS (lol) and I WISH I had known at 15 that I could have said to my bf "I'm not ready for anything more than kissing right now." Like, even though Nick is the hottest beefiest most tolerant bisexual hunk, he's 16 and maybe he doesn't want to do everything right away!! Some of these scenes are very fantastical but truly it's the things we wish we could have said, and I hope it can act as a model for today's kids.
You don't have many male gay friends, do you?
Yeah, I feel the same about it being cathartic perfection, like when you write a short story where you get to be with the person you wanted and heal through that precisely because it's the opposite of what really happened
It feels like a show written by lgbt mental health professionals and thats really great
As a teen I never understood the rush to lose one’s virginity. You should have sex when you are comfortable and not because your partner wants too. Always annoyed me in shows and movies when people got made fun of for being a virgin.
Sorry this is fake this is not real gay people, its a construct to completely desexualize gay people so they're palateable to straight girls.

I love trixie and katya being equally sick of watching teenagers have sex and also furious that these characters aren't having sex 😂

I respect their perspective about how the fact that no one wants to have sex is super unrealistic. But, i would like to share that for many people that is their favorite thing about this show, precisely because it is the most realistic portayal of their own highschool experience they've seen in media. I always thought other shows were unrealistic when every highschool couple took any chance they got to have sex so its nice to have a show that reflects the lesser expected highschool experience
Absolutely. This world of teenagers having constant sex and doing drugs is such an alien reality to me as my childhood was nothing like that. No one I knew had had sex and the most scandalous thing that happened was a few people would go to the bathrooms to smoke a cigarette.
Heartstopper is so relatable to me.
Agreed.
Yeah in my school there were like 10 people having sex and it was a total scandal every time. We weren't sex fiends we were mostly still clueless virgins
It's an age thing, I think. There was a *lot* of sex back when I was in high school, generally as a reaction against the being constantly told the "NO sex until marriage" religious bullshit.
@@jdb101585im gen z, but my high school experience was like this too, maybe because i lived in a small town idk. there was a lot of religious pressure about being chaste, but most teenage couples were having sex (also drinking was a big thing).
so i share an opinion more similar to trixie and katya lol

@@Linyenwa If the rumours are true that he's playing Wiccan then I kinda hope not. Billy is my favourite MARVEL comics character of all time, and I couldn't ever imagine a young Billy who is comfortable with singing in front of people.
But then I'm intensely worried that the MCU will completely gouge and neuter Billy's entire character and arc because it's too dark and too gay for their brand.
I would like to hear Joe Locke sing though. That could be nice.

That was triggering for me, as I knew Billy Jack Gaither. I won't subject anyone to the details, but the info is available by searching his name. For those who want to see just how far we've come since even then ('99), it's worth the pain of knowing to keep his memory alive.

the way I screamed when I read "Trixie disintegrates" is a crazy.
I'm 30 and ace aro and seeing the scene with Isaac was really emotional for me. Its so great that the ace community is being represented and getting recognition because navigating through a world built around relationships can be tough. "This is like retroactively healing for like 3-4 generations of people" couldn't be more true!
you matter a lot!
Watching with envy ( as a 71 year old,) wishing there had been something like this during my adolescence. As you both correctly noted, this is for the kids, full of important, relatable issues, choices, solutions. The myriad of coincidences and the fact that that every friend is either LGBTQ+ or an ally, works in the realm of television. On "Sex Education," the whole cast is banging away on a regular basis and the kids on "Euphoria" are in a very different world than I ever knew. Next season they'll all be eighteen so Trixie might get to see more than she bargained for. And in any case, it's got Olivia Colman, so there's that...
Shameless (US version) get the depiction of gay kids more accurately (esp in marginalized areas).
I'm 27 and didn't have this either, I can't imagine what you've been through tho... Sending you lots of love and wishing you can live your life in your truth now
I'm 36 and I feel the same. Even if I wasn't queer, their loving group of friends brings so much warmth to my heart ❤
@@rumblefish9shameless is good looking back, but when you rewatch it they actually do a pretty bad job. Specifically with lesbians, they are horrific with their portrayal of lesbians in that show. /nm
"Being gay is not hard, straight people make being gay hard." - Trixie Mattel, spitting facts
As someone on the ace spectrum who still loves romance and kissing and all that, this show is really affirming to me and my high school experience! Also even for my friends who were not ace at all, we didn't really talk about sex/ none of them had sex or super long-term relationships when we were in high school. I know a lot of people definitely do, but I think there's like at least a third of people who don't either because they don't want to or just don't happen upon it! So honestly, this series felt super honest. I feel like Sex Ed also does a pretty accurate job with the more sexual side of high school, without completely overblowing it like you Euphoria and other shows.

I absolutely love the fact that they don’t do more than kissing in this season and talk about not being ready. I think it’s unrealistic when shows about teens are actors in their twenties and all they do is have sex with each other. Yes it happens. But it also doesn’t. Teenagers don’t understand fully the complexities of relationships. So I appreciate heartstopper for their realness.
theres nothing real about teenagers acting like nuns lmao get help

@@tzukishiro My entire friend group didnt have sex until college, idk why you think that's so unrealistic
Katya is a such a vision in this episode that even Trixie bestowed a compliment!! A rare occurrence, indeed! 🤩
AHAHAHAH i love the way this is written and RIGHT? she looks so beautiful here
Trixie's absolute anguish at the lack of fucking has me in tears. My first gay relationship in high school was with someone who was asexual, and most of my friends were gay band kid virgins, so I watch the show like "yeah this is how teens are." I know people who had the euphoria high school experience but my gay friend group did have the mother goose suite of high school
As an asexual I agree thank you
ME TOO. It’s not as rare as Trixie and Katya think it is.
As an asexual I get it but everyone around me was CRAZY, id see girls come the day after with huge hickeys and show em and full on guys lowkey making out in the halls, I graduated in 2020 so like, not THAT much time ago
Imo it depends on the school, the country and the kind of people you hang out with
Trixie and Katya: being horny on main
Me, an asexual in their twenties who hasn't even dated yet: can't relate
@hippomatrix it's not being horny on main, it's that the only intimacy allowed to gay men for years was a quick fuck, and stuffing all the love, tenderness, and affection deep down into that pit in yourself so no one can see and use it against you
"In this universe, 90% of people are gay, and 10% are straight" Katya just defined Heartstopper and I loved it 🤣❤️
Wait until they see Sandman :p (Oh, wait, they already have).
I love how Trixie said they had every expression of sexuality contain in one small friend group cuz my friend group is literally like heartstoppers lol😭

Samee oh my god literally I’m 22 and hi too, haven’t had sex either twinning, completely agree with you. Wish you the best
I think people forget that Nick is still new to being bisexual. It’s one thing to be out and another to be intimate. Everyone goes at their own pace, and it can be overwhelming. So many LGBT media prioritizes the sexual aspect that it’s nice to have one that highlights the innocence of young romance
And Charlie is severely hunted about his appearance so it also makes sense.
Most of it is made by straight ppl what do u expect

“Trixe and Katya react to Heartstoppers season 2!” The intro immediately being them throwing up and gagging 😭😭😭 i stan
I’m convinced Tao’s wacky hair is because the actor Will Gao (who is far too young for me, let’s be clear) is superhumanly attractive. The character needs to be established a bit more cartoony, animated, goofy. He’s in the “kind of outcast” friend group, and even though he’s east asian and a film nerd, the actor is so beautiful (and tall) he needs a little grounding to read weirder on TV. He and Joe Locke (curly hair actor for Charlie) could and inlbelieve absolutely have do print modeling and could do runway too, I think most of the cast can and will, actually.
Even after the haircut they make extra sure to communicate “dorky handsome” with the outfit and new hairstyle. But he’s moving into more of a leading man look in Paris episodes without losing the little visible quirks of his personality through acting.
You’re 100% correct. Could you imagine a taller boy who looks like Will Gao being bullied by a boy who like Harry? That’s not believable at all haha, so the director needed to tone down his looks
Hearing "this is a teachable moment for me" during Isaac's aroace realization is so important and gives me so much hope for my future :)

My theory is the producer is like "talk about what a big moment it is for these characters" and she just does that to be like "Happy, girl?"
@@valeriecherish449 oh I see. I thought someone from a Netflix show said that and Katya joked about it. Never thought about producers. Nice 👍
@@valeriecherish449 I love that's it's her version of a Tammie Brown impression "huh! huh! i'm acting"
It's iconic😂
tbh, one reason why I enjoy Heartstopper is because it's not trying to represent an accurate and relatable teenage experience. Most of the time when teen shows do this, I often find myself feeling left out because most o the characters' experience don't align with my own, so it's nice to see the HS characters just doing their own thing and existing in their own bubble for the most part
It is, though. Just because we didn't have these experiences, doesn't mean other people are not having them.
I personally think this is what teenagers in the present go through so it is representing their lives but not so much those of us who are way older than them. Not all teenagers do drugs, sex or party even if they will have romantic relationships so this story does represent real life a bit more even if some parts can seem too safe etc. This series is like so many other wholesome gay comics about teens including the Asian ones. Asian countries have been creating wholesome gay series and movies (with young and old gay couples) for a while now and I'm surprised it took the West longer than I expected to portray gay main characters in TV series.
I agree. I think it’s partly why I had a hard time getting through Euphoria. That just wasn’t my or my friends experiences. And even though this show isn’t 100% my experience either (like all the out kids) I find it a lot more relatable.
the amount of bi positivity in this was fantastic 🥺
