In pouting because of Korn

and as for everett not taking his meds…. im not sure the wolf transformation goes as far as permanently altering brain chemistry to a point where the mental illinois just magically goes away. sure he’s not having panic attacks every day and now has abs, but his dad wasn’t wrong for reminding him that a good day doesn’t mean you can just skip the meds. i definitely thing he’s going to have a breakdown by the end of the season. i just hope he doesn’t hurt anybody, tho the allegory would track if he thinks he’s ‘cured’ of his anxiety and other disorders just bc he’s now part of a wolf pack. everett honey pls take your meds 😩

this one’s for @alleyesoncarrie 🤚🏽

in loveless we also see a little about The Ark!! I love how it's all just connected somehow

i love the subtle references to other books within the osemanverse. like, in radio silence, frances says the phrase “i was born for this,” and in iwbft, jimmy uses tori’s catchphrase, “it’s funny because it’s true.” we hear a reference to ‘universe city’ in loveless and catch wisps of nick and charlie’s story in solitaire.

the interconnectedness makes it all feel so much more real— every “background character” is human, every international legend is too. they’re all deeply flawed, but are just trying to do more good than harm. they all feel like everyone has it all so much more together than they do. they all laugh and break and cry and fail and apologize and love, truly love. in their respective tales they may feel like they are alone, but this little web of stories shows us that they truly are not.

and neither are we.

same, what am i supposed to do now??? I've only known queer chaos, depression and happy endings. I don't know how to live now

i'm literally freaking out cause i finished all of alice oseman's books and i can't feed my addiction anymore

i have seen people say that "heartstopper is shit because it is made by an aroace woman". and i get the whole ownvoices thing, it's important that people get to tell their own stories. but pretending that heartstopper is immediatly bad and problematic just because the creator of a story focusing on mlm is an aroace person is just ridiculous. the same happened to the writer of simon vs the homosapiens agenda. she was, first of all, harrassed for 'being straight' and she later came out as bi. but ppl still thought she had no buisiness at all writing about a gay man

a lesbian can write a beautiful and meaningful story about a bisexual man, a trans man can write an acurate story about a nonbinary person. every community deserves to tell their own stories, but just bc sometimes other ppl write stories about them doesn't mean these stories are bad and morally wrong and inaccurate

BUT ON TOP OF THAT the producer (patrick walters) and director (euros lynn) of the show are both gay men (and many other people working behind the scenes are queer as well, it's just a bunch of queer ppl). these gay men got to be in charge of directing and producing the show. these people put their visions on this story. this is not a random person trying to guess what the mlm experience is like. alice really does understand it, and they're now working directly with ppl who have that lived experience

also side note can ppl please stop invalidating alice....i've even seen people saying that they're not even queer and shouldn't be writing any queer stories. i saw one post saying something like "she's just an asexual woman who uses sometimes they/them". alice is queer. aromantic and asexual people are queer. and please stop invalidating they/them pronouns and pretending people use those pronouns just for attention

shout out to Nick for being an absolute sweetie who owns my heart
