i think we forget about the most important thing heartstopper did for the queer community and that is showing keysmash on television for the first time.
kit connor having originally auditioned for charlie spring is SO funny what was he thinking?? imagine being alice oseman, seeing nick nelson walk off of the pages of your comic, coming to tell you hes auditioning for charlie spring
sometimes i think I’ve moved on with my life and my brainrot is leaving me, and then i find myself awake at 2am wishing i had a charlie spring to my nick nelson
i think that,, elle argent is so important. trans representation is far and few in between no matter what, but trans representation like hers is,,, basically non-existent. her character exists without being all about transphobia and a difficult gender identity, but also mentioning that she’s struggled. her character is about her personality. how kind she is, how funny she is, and how much she loves her friends. trans characters are so often represented as suffering constantly, or being lonely because everyone is transphobic, etc. alice oseman gave her a chance to be happy and beautiful and friendly, without the darkness that trans rep tends to come with.
