This was a heavy one!! šŸ„ŗšŸ’•

Heartstopper - Season 3 Episode 2

Comments

So glad you’re watching this! Fun fact, the song that plays at the end of the episode is by Wasia Project (a beautiful musical duo band consisting of Tao’s actor and his sister). Their music is gorgeous in general, a couple of their songs have been in the heartstopper OST!

The beauty of this show is they talk about so many things that so many viewers, especially younger, can connect to and it shows healthy ways to communicate about it. The actors do such an amazing job, ugh I love this show. And yeah Olivia Coleman (Nick's mom) couldn't be in season 4 so they brought in his aunt, the whole scene on the beach was supposed to be with his mom but I love how they brought in the aunt, especially making her a psychiatrist.

Thank you for always taking the time to leave all your comments! I love reading through them all! 🄰

Say What Reacts (Anitra)

I very much enjoyed this episode even though it was much more of a harder watch than the first episode... a lot of these things are coming more into the light and I know the more we delve the more... (can't spoil) but yeah, it is really nice to watch a show that delves into this kind of thing, I know I have watched many other shows that delve into other things that I think you said would be seen as taboo. I think it's important to talk about this kind of stuff and show it as it is very real and it happens in real life, it's not just something to sweep under the rug and forget about cause it's meaningless and not entertaining... it's important to being awareness to things like this cause maybe it would make someone feel seen, or help them get through something, help them fight it etc. It's also just nice to see the leads be part of the lqbtqia+ community tbh, it's not everyday you see that in a lot of dramas and when you do I just love it cause I think there should be more. I know there's another show called 'Young Royals' which is Swedish and the main 2 characters are part of the lgbtqia+ community, I don't know the sexuality of each, I've only seen the trailer but I'll most likely give it a watch, the actor that plays Nick really likes it I believe... but anyway excited for the next episode to come, nice seeing Taco too hehe šŸ±šŸŒ®āœØšŸ¦‹

I don’t even know what to say, that last part broke me inside, that was so well played, I feel like Nick is putting a lot of responsibility on himself when he doesn’t need to, I love how his aunt is comforting him and telling him that’s it’s a lot to put on 16 year old boy, WHICH IS TRUE, I know he cares so deeply and he’s scared, he wants to be able to fix all of this for him so he can get better but his aunt is correct, Charlie needs professional help… bravo through to both Kit and Joe for those scenes, they were really good, like my heart just stops when I watch it. The actor that plays Nick was sat behind the camera just watching Joe who plays Charlie act out that call scene… I hate how his mother just interrupted whilst he was having a vulnerable moment and she practically just told him off when you could LITERALLY SEE IT ON HIS FACE something was wrong… she’s not very good at being able to tell something’s not right it seems when it’s so obvious for Tori…

I feel for Tao wanting everyday to be filled with such joy with Elle, and I get he was scared for Elle to go in fear of her leaving him, but I love how that scene ended nicely between them awww… let’s go and do nothing, that’s so much fun hehe

My favourite flower is most likely a rose. I’m not very well versed in the plant world so I don’t know a lot, my mother practically knows everything through lmao. I remember when Tao changed his entire look I to impress Elle (I think it was an episode in season 2) and he gave her a massive bouquet of roses 🌹 and I practically ascended, like I wanted that bouquet for myself, they looked beautifullllllll

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

A soon as Tori opened Charlie’s computer I felt that gasp/big breathe she made, I feel like that went straight to the back of her head, it immediately just made me think of the fact that I have a younger brother, I just put myself in her shoes and all the emotions came rushing to me 🄺🄺

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

I'm glad Isaac was able to have a little movie night with Charlie, he was all giddy hehe, loved that, he was so quick to join him on his bed, I think he definitely needed that, gotta love Isaac (also the guy who plays Isaac 'Tobie' has a channel, he hasn't uploaded in a while, but I loved his vlogs he made during season 1, they were so much fun to watch)šŸ§ššŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

When you said ā€œhe’s just gonna hide away in his room for 3 weeks?ā€ With concern, I very much related to that… I’m not sure how to explain it without talking about my own feelings but I feel like he’s isolating himself and he’s cutting off interaction with people, his headspace is not in a place to interact outside his place of comfort (his bedroom, the place he can be himself, the place he can find quiet and peace, no disruption, a place to think through all the chaotic emotions flying around in his head), the outside may seem like a place of worry, he probably can’t think outside of that because it’s too much and limits time with close ones (texting with friends) when his mind is in a rough space. I’ve done that exact same thing and I still do, it can be hard to recharge and do even the smallest of things, even just hanging out with friends or just simply text someone, when I begin to go down a mental health spiral I will start to shut off and stay in my room, it’s too much to interact and I’m not in the headspace cause my mind is focused on something else entirely. You can see his only connection is Nick, I think he’s letting Nick into his headspace because he’s a sense of safety right now and that safety is in another country damn… I soon realised (this is just an interpretation and assumption), Charlie had not been outside for most of the summer break, the one time he goes outside is to collect Nick’s GCSE results WEARING NICK’S HOODIE…. Charlie brought Nick with him cause Nick’s his safety belt, I know that’s just an interpretation but I find that so symbolic. Tori coming in to just sit by him, hug him, then say I love you… that kind of thing can go along way even if it doesn’t look it to the other person… and then there’s Elle and Tao… the juxtaposition lol (I could say more but I don’t want to make a novel out of it, also that’s just my opinion on that thing, I have so many thoughts rushing through my head on that argghhhhhh)

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

That shot on Tara when Darcy said she hadn’t worn a skirt outside of school/ since school twas very interesting and very long…… hmmm just a thought in my mind

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

so true, Nick's mother and aunt are so amazing, they're the best green flags in Nick's family

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Also forgot to mention, whatever song that was that was playing during that scene very much fit the mood of that situation šŸŽ¶

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Hmm I definitely think Charlie, although he is more on the shier side and is anxious in some ways, he has and builds the guts to stand up for himself, even before Nick I think he was able to fight through things. I feel like the worries in himself with the eating disorder (but also admitting it to himself) are starting to take a big toll on him and so he’s closing himself off to a lot of people, I don’t know how to explain without looking like an idiot. In my opinion, I think he still feel worthy of being loved by Nick I just think the eating disorder has made him come to this darker place where he feels a lot more insecure cause it’s all coming to the surface, he’s clearly struggling a lot more than in the past 2 seasons, I don’t know if I’ve said that right!?!?!?!?!

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Ngl that blue Adidas hoodie on Charlie just looks so good on him, I know that's actually Nick's... I love it when someone's partner wears the other partner's hoodies and jumpers, I dunno why, I just love itā¤ļø it also just gives a very snuggly vibe to it, there's an aura about that idk hehe

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

So I don’t know if the conversions are right but this is how it would look just to make it a tad easier for you: 
Imogen: -> drama 8 = A* Tara: -> all 9s = A** (we only go up to 9 no 10 and U is the lowest so that would be an automatic fail) Nick: English -> 6 = B Maths -> 5 = in between B and C but it’s a strong pass Chemistry -> 6 = B Biology -> 7 = A Physics -> 7 = A French -> 9 = A** Physical Education -> 9 = A** Geography -> 8 = A* Psychology -> 6 = B (I know in America you do it like A+ / A-, that sort of thing, i know many of these are probably gonna be like A- / B+. Also I don’t know how correct I am on these, so take it with a grain of salt, they’re just from my knowledge off the top of my head, I haven’t used the numeric way in so long)

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Okay grades… in the UK we still have A, B, C, D etc, but it was only a few years ago they introduced numeric exam numbers which at first confused the heck out of me when I received my results as I always relate it back to the alphabet way of doing it, I remember for example getting a 7 on an exam, I didn’t know if that was good or bad but that’s an A, this whole system in the UK just annoys me sometimes. But for 6th form (which would be your last to years of high school so junior and senior year) and University we revert back to the alphabet

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

I don’t know if it was ever mentioned I can’t remember actually but Tori is the shortened version of Victoria I guess, I really need to read Alice’s books, cause Solitaire (one of the books by Alice Oseman) is about Tori, I think (I’m not sure though) it was the first book she published?????????? But don’t quote me on thatšŸ“š

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

The romance between Mr Ajayi and Mr Farouk is so funny to me but cute 🄰 Mr Farouk’s facial expressions are just always so funny, he’s either mad or his eyes are just poppin hahahaha… also that halls walls are so cool, that wallpaper with the massive pencils āœļø love itttttt

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

same I loved the aunt's reaction to that... also him just straight out saying 'my boyfriend' to her just shows he's very comfortable with her... god I love his aunt, she's just a slay in life hehešŸ˜‚

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

The vibes I have with Charlie’s mother are just so…. Ughhhhhh… not a fan… she’s really giving my mother, it’s just so frustrating… like you said she keeps creating these assumptions in her head on this and that but she doesn’t take the time to even sit down and take in what he has to say… like when you watch that scene she keeps cutting Charlie off like he doesn’t really get a chance to say what he has to say cause she refuses to listen… This is so like my mum, it’s the ā€˜I want and I must have the last word but oh no I said the wrong thing OF COURSE IT’S MY FAULT, everything is my fault’, that kind of attitude really annoys me cause it just tells me that you’re not willing to understand nor care about the other persons feelings, you base everything off of your mind and experience and in return invalidate anyone else’s, I get she can’t see what’s happening with Charlie but at the same time Tori can already tell something is wrong, it just shows the imbalance of support and care in that family and who actually pays any attention. Tori is practically not seen, she’s barely even noticed by her own parents a lot of the time, the only time her mother even speaks to her is when it has something to do with Charlie… but anyway it was nice seeing Charlie nearly open up to Tori, I know he was trying, but I get the the hesitation, he’s not alone in that feeling

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Hehe you know what I find so funny is the fact that Hayley Atwell is Nick’s aunt and she plays Peggy Carter in Captain America and Nick really likes Marvel… it’s like a full circle moment just came together lolšŸ˜‚

Courtney_Sky Can Do It With a Broken Heart

Helloooooo excited for another episode!!!!! I remember this one being tough to watch arghhhh but I’m so ready for itā€¦šŸ™ƒ
