i can’t stop thinking about tao and elle, and the way their relationship was portrayed so beautifully on the show. One of my favourite scenes was how tao made elle promise during their movie night that no matter what, they’d always, always put their friendship first, above anything and everything- that moment formed such a crucial point in their relationship. I felt the panic and fear in elle’s eyes on the triple date when she realised the others were trying to get them to realise their feelings for each other, and yaz plays elle so beautifully, the way she portrayed all of elle’s emotions, you could tell from the way she panicked that she was thinking back to that promise, and how her friendship with tao was so much more important to her than any other feelings that might get in the way. I don’t know, but something about their relationship just gets to me, tao buying her drink for her at every lunch forgetting that she is at Higgs now, them looking out for each other on their way back home from school, the way they confide in each other, their connection is tangible. Every single interaction of theirs was beautiful, and Alice has written their relationship with such care, all of their scenes had such a warmth to them. The way they love each other is so wholesome. And Will did such an amazing job at portraying tao, he really nailed the essence of his character. That scene on the last episode in the art room and the way he looked at her was just… beautiful. Like we saw how these two characters are perfect for each other and how beautifully they complement one another, elle helping tao cope with change, tao always looking out for elle and checking up on her as she moves to a new school, their conversations and the way they banter and tease and play off of one another, them slowly falling for each other, the pining, the soft glances, the sparks, they are just beautiful. One of the most beautiful things about the show was how it added a whole new layer of depth and meaning to tao and elle’s relationship, their arc was so well done, we better get a season 2 where we see them grow together even more, i love them with my whole heart <3
@aliceoseman Heartstopper Vol 4 came out last year on May 6th, which was while we were shooting the show! So I became a delivery person for the day and gave the lead cast some copies of the book Happy three weeks of @heartstoppertv
I absolutely love this show, love this story, love these characters, and love the actors who played them. I’ve re-watched Heartstopper over a dozen times and have found immense joy and a sense of belonging from it, and I know a lot of people feel the same way.
So, that being said, I am so excited to share this little tribute with you guys. I’m proud of how this turned out because I’ve never made real life actors/characters into sims but it was a ton of fun and a huuuuuuuge challenge. I hope I did the actors justice (lol) because I really did try my best.
Their outfits are inspired from the comics more than the show, although I’ll admit that I couldn’t resist putting Nick in a similar sweatshirt to the one he wore to Charlie’s band concert in episode 6 because it was one of my favorite looks.
Anything marked with a * means it’s either from the Sims Resource, Simsdom/Simsfinds, or goes through a “host” such as AdFly.
Special recognition:@johnnysimmer for Nick and Tao’s hair. I became a patron yesterday (literally my first and only time ever) just to get these hairs early access; I couldn’t wait until the 21st and no other hairs I tried on them even compared. ♡
