#...thank you mr. farouk

[domxmarvel]

Walk you home

Pairing:Charlie spring x Male!Reader

Prompt:U Umbrella

It's the first day of school,the teacher, Mr. Farouk, tells you that the empty seat next to some boy with black hair is your assigned seat. You sat down 

"Hi,I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you" He looks up from his notebook, seeing you had sat down next to him

“H-hi my name is Charlie,It's nice to meet you t-too” Charlie stutters nervously. Just as you were about to say something else a blond boy walked up to your table. He laughed before saying 

"You put the new kid next to him,now he's gonna turn gay too" You felt the need to stand up for yourself and Charlie,but before you could. The other boys laughed and mocked him, which in this moment, Charlie felt small, vulnerable, and embarrassed. Charlie knew he wouldn't be able to stand up for himself, so the only thing he could really do was look down and try and not focus on what was happening

"You have a problem with me being gay or something" you said,it wasn't a question but a threat. You wouldn't stay silent and let him say whatever he wanted. The blond boy looked at you, surprised that you would actually dare to say that back to him. The blond boy's friends looked at him, trying to figure out what to do in this situation

“Well, yea, I do. What are you going to do about it?” The blond boy said that as he stepped slightly closer to you, clearly trying to be intimidating. You weren't backing down 

"Maybe you like him,is that why you're so mad that you're not the one next to him" you smirked. The boy's friends laughed at what you said, and the blond boy's face immediately turned red as he felt embarrassed 

“I do not like him and I'm not mad that I'm not the one sitting next to him. I have a girlfriend anyway” The boy was clearly trying to cover up how embarrassed he was because of what you said

"Sure you do" you said sarcastically,The boy's friends looked at him, now all of them laughing at how stupid he looked

“Yea I do! Don't think you can just call me a liar. My girlfriend and I are very much together” By now his friends were all laughing even louder at how the boy was trying so hard to explain himself. You rolled your eyes at him 

"Whatever just back off before you regret it" The boy looked at you, clearly embarrassed and mad. Before sighing and stepping back, turning around and walking away. His friends followed after, continuing to laugh as they walked away. The boy muttered something, but it was too low for you to hear clearly-You sat back down. Charlie looked up at you, now that the blond boy and his friends had stepped away from the table. Charlie looks at you, a small smile on his face that seemed to show how glad he was that someone was able to stand up to the boy

“T-thank you,for doing that. I n..never know what to say back to them. So thanks”

"Don't worry about it,I had plenty of practice at my last school when I came out”

“R..really? They m..made fun of you?” Charlie looked at you, his eyes showing a mixture of sadness and shock.. Like he couldn't believe what he had just been told.

"More like relentlessly bullied me. I had enough and fought back,ended up beating them so badly they ended up hospitalized and I got expelled.”

“Y..you got expelled?? But did the teachers even ask why you did it?? They should have understood why you did that! Not send you away!” Charlie now looked more annoyed than anything. He didn't understand how they could have expelled you, just because you tried defending yourself.

"They knew everything,plenty of students told the faculty but they didn't do anything to stop it. Life's unfair so the moment I fought back I ended up in trouble. My mother tried to talk to them but they refused to see it in any other way than what they wanted. I hurt them so I was seen as the problem. But I was in need of a fresh start,although this school doesn't seem all that different"

“T..the teachers never do anything. It's like the only people they try and help are the ones bullying others. It's never the other way around” Charlie sighed before continuing to speak, a hint of annoyance and anger in his voice. “Y-you should probably have been transferred to another school, or at least the ones who bullied you should have been expelled. Expelling you is like punishing the victim while letting the one who caused it get away with it”

"I know,so I figured now I'd make myself someone no one dares to mess with from the start"

“Well. I think you're succeeding. If i could do what you just did, i'd probably avoid a lot of the bullying” This was the first time you've heard Charlie not stutter. By how he was speaking, this subject clearly makes him upset that he can stick up for himself.

"It's not easy,sure you push away the bullying but you also push everyone else away too. And I haven't known you long but you seem far too nice to push everyone around you away. It's different for me,I've been alone since I came out" Charlie looks at you, a small smile on his face,carefully reaching out, putting his hand on yours.

“Y-you won't have to be alone anymore. We can be friends. I know we've only just met but, I can't just ignore something like this” 

After school 

Lessons were over and you were ready to go home. As you were about to walk out you saw Charlie standing by the door. It was raining heavily,for once you were grateful that your mother forced you to take an umbrella with you. You walked over to Charlie. 

"I'm guessing you don't have your umbrella with you?" Charlie looked up at you, he was dripping wet from the rain. His dark curly hair was sticking to his forehead. Charlie nodded, not wanting to respond in fear that his stuttering would kick in."Come on,I'll walk you home" you opened your umbrella,covering both of you. You could tell that Charlie was surprised by how you offered to walk him home. But he did look grateful at that, like he hadn't expected anyone to offer that,Charlie nodded, before slowly following beside you as you two were walking from outside and towards the direction he lived. You let him take the lead since you had no idea where he lived. After a few minutes of walking,you arrived at Charlie's house. Charlie stood there for a moment, as he took out his house keys from his pockets. Before unlocking the door, he turned towards you and smiled.

“T-thank you for walking me home. But I don't want you walking back in the rain by yourself. You can stay until the rain stops.” Charlie spoke, his voice slightly more steady than before. He still stuttered a bit but it was clear he was trying to compose himself so it wouldn't be as bad

"That's very nice of you to offer but my mother's waiting for me. Maybe some other time”

“O..oh, alright.” Charlie said this as he leaned slightly against the wall, now looking a bit dejected that you were leaving. Charlie thought to himself that he wanted to ask you something before you left, but he wasn't sure if he should. A part of him thought he should, but the other part of him didn't wanna risk how you would react to it. He was very worried and nervous, but still decided to finally just say it.Charlie looked up at you, a look of nervousness in his eyes “U..umm... Before you go, could I ask you something?”

"Sure”

“W..well” Charlie starts to play with the hem of his sweater as he looks down at the floor. He takes a deep breath before continuing to speak, slightly stuttering at the start but slowly calming down until there's no more stuttering at all. Now all that there is in his speech is a nervous shaking voice

“I wanted to s..ask you if maybe we can have each other's numbers? Just so we can talk more and we can text. Is that okay?”

"Sure" you exchanged numbers.You could tell Charlie was very nervous throughout the whole exchange of numbers. He was worried he might mess up, or that you would think him weird for asking for your number,but now that he had got your number he gave a small, shy smile. One you could instantly tell was real, and meant a lot to him. "So I'll see you tomorrow"

“Yea! I'll see you tomorrow” Charlie said as he gave a small wave to you before going back into his house and closing the door behind him

the next day after school

When school ended, Charlie was waiting by the entrance again, hoping you would wait for him like you did before. And you were waiting,it was raining today too. So you waited in case he didn't have his umbrella today either. Charlie came out of the school, looking surprised and relieved to see that you were there waiting for him. A small smile appeared on his face when he spotted you he walked over to you, now standing beside you and leaning against the wall

“Y-you waited here this time? Charlie said, with a small chuckle and a shy smile still on his face. You could tell he was very happy that you waited for him

"Of course I did,I was worried you didn't have your umbrella again" 

“Y-you didn't need to worry, but thank you” Charlie said,still with a smile on his face.

"Come on I'll walk you home"

“That sounds great”

My favourite quotes from Heartstopper

Nick:

I'm having a proper full-on gay crisis

Was that not already established the last ten times we made out?

My dad is French (Darcy: Since when?) Since... His birth

I love you and you are so f**king hot

Charlie:

Sorry doesn't make up for everything you did to me

Why are we like this?

I'd fight anyone who's mean to you

You don’t get to have an opinion about anything I do... You don't get to make me feel like crap anymore just because you hate yourself.

People might think you gave me this hickey if you keep this up

I feel like we're gonna have to practice a lot

You have so much love to give, you don't have to give it all to me

Tori:

Talk about my brother like that again and I'll end you

I treasure my alone time

Older sister magic

Stop saying hanky panky!

He's literally obsessed with you

I worry about you all the time did you know that

I'm sure he'd love it even if it looked like a used tissue

I hope I get a soul

Praise be to Geoff

The only person I care about is you

Tao:

You! I cannot believe it! The actual... We will be having words.

We thank you for your service

Sir are we under the water.... (yes)...then why can't we see any fish?

Oh you're being gay, good job carry on

Do you think there are any gay fish?

Nick's aunt: You look like a lovesick puppy... I am diagnosing you with a severe case of smitten and growing symptoms of head over heels

You can be there for him just to talk or listen, you can cheer him up when he's having one of his bad days... you can ask him what you can do to help, standing together, even when it’s hard, but also knowing that sometimes people need more support than one person can give. That’s love, darling.

Nick's mum: you seem much more yourself around him

I wasn't born in the 18th century

Mr Ajayi: Don’t let anyone make you disappear, Charlie.

Wow being a teenager is terrible

I am officially a beacon of learning

Mr Farouk: I don't give a rat's arse rude boy, grow up

Charlie, there are a lot of younger students who would find it inspiring to see you as head boy

Imogen: I’m not, like, homophobic. I’m an ally

From the university of hair stylists

Michael: good luck, I hope you do get to have your s*x sleepover

Isaac: I know you think it's funny to point things out about people and get a laugh out of your mates but do you ever stop and think about how you're making people feel, like come on Harry where's your basic human empathy

I can't be bothered to give everyone a vocab lesson

Tara: Kissing you was actually one of the things that made me realise I don't like kissing guys

I'm not really the person to ask about s*x between guys

Elle: I realised I actually needed to put myself out there or I'd just be alone.

You didn't have to witness all the months of intense pining.

Back with another HSTV blog.

I went too hard on Season 2, I fear, so here is part 1 of 2:

Episode 1

Tori’s fringe is not canon compliant, send that shit back to the early 2000s.

The opening song is soooo perfect and sad and foreshadowy like 🎶I don’t really care if it nearly kills me, I’d give you the world if you asked me to.🎶😭

Nick and Charlie texted all night and this morning and Nick never told him he came out to him mum? WTF are you even talking about?

God Narlie are insufferable.

The fact that it takes them over a year longer to have sex is incredible to me.

Don’t you dare do a Scottish accent Tao Xu GTFOH

Why is everyone in Truham obsessed with apple juice?

Haha Ben everyone you kiss likes Nick more than you.

Wait. Charlie is the one who got bullied and there a guy in his school called Maximillian? HAHAHAHAH.

Ben “Are you just going to ignore me for two weeks?” It’s literally No Talking, No Engaging Study Hall (Which my school didn’t have, is this a real thing?)

“If you’re trying to keep it quiet you should probably stop acting so gay for him.” Sorry Nick, I don’t like the guy, but Ben has a point.

Elle: “Tao is literally the worst person–” Yeah I’m gonna stop you there.

Elle, please stop making beinh a teenager look so easy. It’s unrealistic to be that beautiful, smart, talented, fashionable, self assured, confident, and know how to flirt.

Chocolate bar scene is so cringe. “I want to keep it a secre-IT’S OUR TWO MONTH ANNIVERSARY OF GAY DATING WHERE WE ARE GAY AND GO ON DATES!”

Stop making out in the locker room. I’ve read and written this fanfiction.

I’m sorry but the way Nick says, “We can, uh, kiss on the Eiffel Tower: was the SLUTTIEST SHIT I’VE EVER HEARD!

I know I joked last season that Nick was a lesbian, but the amount of Carhartt he wears, he might as well be.

Nick and Charlie are currently out to everyone in this scene and they are putting out less PDA than they do in fucking form.

We get it Isaac, you only like books. Okay.

Hilarious that Titanic is still a viable reference in 2023.

Damn Tao, I cannae believe you just rejected Elle. Fucking brutal. How dare you.

Isaac literally reading a book about being ace episode one. Just pointing it out for later when I absolutely rant the house down.

“How will I ever tell Imogen?” Nick asks, his arm around Charlie on the sofa.

What the fuck terrible thing are they watching and how has Imogen not needed the toilet for hours? Drink some water girl.

Wow thanks Nick, for showing me the very obvious bathroom.

The Imogen/Nick convo is so funny. Rhea is very comedic, I do like her.

Charlie stop walking around with a fucking blanket wrapped around your shoulders like you are going to rant about the end of the world in a park.

Charlie to his parents: You know my friend Nick? Lol, the guy you spend every waking minute with? Yeah, we know him.

Mr. Hypersexual Julio “you only want to go to Paris to shag your boyfriend” Spring. Calm down.

LMAO even Jane is like “stop fucking saying hanky panky!”

Tori’s face when Charlie says “Everything is going to be perfect” is all of us.

Episode 2

Ben’s parents are so hilarious. They make him look so tiny.

Sorry Charlie, your mum is right. You fucked up. But I do like that Julio gives her a look like “Seriously, he’s going to be home all the time?”

I’ve always felt like Imogen was a plot solution for the Ben/Becky storyline in Solitaire that needed to be in HS, and I think that’s why I dislike her so much. She is a device, not a person. It’s not her fault, but just…ugh.

Is everyone named Greene? Harvey Greene Grammar, Harry Greene, Ms. Greene? Get some new names Alice damn.

The pen scene is so cringe. I hate it so much. Like hey, everyone in year 11, look over here at us being in love. I would’ve dumped Charlie on the spot.

BAFTA nom for Farouk’s eyebrow.

Ew Ben stop referring to yourself as “liking girls and boys” you are 17.

Savage takedown there though, Benny Boy, not completely untrue.

Nick’s anger and anxiety issues have been sprinkled so subtly from the very beginning. 😙👌

Also “I’ve had the worst day HAHA” Time for therapy babes.

“But we could meet in the park?” Who said Heartstopper didn’t have realistic gay representation?

I will say, most of the time I find Nick and Charlie kissing to be quite cringe, but the park scene is cute and believable.

Naomi’s vocal fry is so fucking hilarious.

Damn, Tao’s mum is RICH rich.

Truham School for Boys: 1200 students, 6 teachers.

Nick Nelson you cannot call anyone an old man you were born wearing New Balance trainers.

LMAO Nellie growling at David.

Sorry but why is Jane kinda…in the scene where she’s telling Charlie he’s grounded?

Damn savage Tao: "Also, Mum, Elle’s not dead, like the love of your life. Goodnight!"

Episode 3

“What if we went to IKEA on our date like that film where they were really terrible for each other?” OK TAO.

Christian “Really Good Mates” McBride. Love u.

Mrs. Singh is stoked but has to remain professional.

James and Isaac bonding over the gay books 💕 (2nd Ace book sighting btw)

Charlie is me doing every undergrad assignment ever.

Nick “Will I ever come out? Maybe after Charlie runs into my arms in front of all the year 11s”

“Just a casual I love you.” Okay Tara. You and Tori should hang out. Deluuuusion.

Not rich boy Harry telling everyone to BYOB to Sai’s party. Like, that would be the main way you get people to like you if you are that much of a twat.

Love how James invited everyone to someone else’s party. Work.

OMG seeing Youssef and Nathan’s little exchange at the Paris meeting like “YOUSE ARE GONNAE GET MARRIED!!!”

Awww little Imogen has no fwends.

Tao: This date needs to be perfect! *choose most mid date of all time*

Tao looks like my college boyfriend at the cinema date. Like TWINS. lol

I recognize that Tao is very autistic coded, but damn bro, chill. You picked the film, no need to rant about how awful it is.

Charlie looks so cute at the party! Little baby.

Nick: “maybe I’ll come out to my friends after I have this public tickle fight with Charlie”

What in the Northern Ireland is going on here?

Will Gao is a good actor. I hope he has as much success as Joe and Kit after HS.

Whose tent is this? Did Tori pitch this tent?

Ooh, Tori’s got a bit of Jane in her. “You’re not very good at keeping your promises.” Watch out girl!

Why does Joe Locke low key look like my dad?

Love how Harry keeps looking at Nick’s mouth. You looooovvveee himmmmm.

Ah yes, sun stroke. The leading cause of illness in fucking England.

Stay low key? You mean *become* low key? Cuz ya’ll are steady HIGH KEY.

Episode 4

“Hello YOU TWO” OK Mr. Ajayi calm down.

Nick is almost as much of a Tao/Elle shipper as Tao’s mum.

You think 30-year-old Darcy lays in bed thinking about the time they asked their teacher why they couldn’t see any fish in the Eurotunnel?

I love Mr. Farouk. He is my kindred spirit. And he has a Scottish fringe.

Love the amount of logistical holes in HS. 40 students on an international trip and two chaperones. Sounds good.

I love how the B roll for Paris looks like it was shot out the window of a taxi by an intern on an iphone 7.

YOUSE ARE GONNAE GET MARRIEDDDDD!!!

I will not hyperfixate on Youssef and Nathan or plot a fic about their relationship I WILL NOT.

I guess this is when Imogen and Sahar are having their falling out? Aren’t they supposed to be old friends?

Barf barf barf Narlie. Fucking stop.

I appreciate Imogen’s commitment to the aesthetic. Based on everyone else’s clothing it’s scorching but she’s in a wool hat and a tweed jacket.

Farouk speaks French yet says cRRossant. LMAO.

Love how critical Tao is of Moonrise Kingdom when he literally dresses and acts like he’s in a Wes Anderson film 24/7.

Thank you Tara it is unbearable.

I don’t think they sell bubblegum ice cream in Paris you fucking savage.

Elle is the most beautiful person in the world. Like I can barely look at her what the fuck.

Imagine being in that restaurant NOT on that school trip. I would KMS.

Ben is psychotic.

James during Imogen’s breakup scene had me dyiiiinnnng.

We found Harry’s line. He’s a feminist.

Nick and Tao’s heart to heart brought to you by Vans

Love Charlie calling Nick out for posting about him on Instagram like a proud mum.

Maybe if Charlie ate some red meat he wouldn’t have bruised so easily.

Henry & Alex (Red, White & Royal Blue)

[asianvegetable]

“Charlie? There are.. a lot of younger students who would find it inspiring to see you as Head Boy.” says Mr. Farouk.

A singular purple leaf circles around his nodding head towards a younger, melancholic Youssef Farouk sitting alone at a desk similar to one you see Nick and Charlie sit at.

Whilst the third season of Heartstopper had its equal share of heartbreaking and heartwarming scenes, this particular scene was the one that brought up the most emotion for me.

That 1000 mile stare from the young Mr. Farouk was one I wore daily back when I was in school. I came out as gay at 13 years old, not necessarily out of pride but out of desperation. I was terrified of people finding out and outing me that I decided to just do it myself.

With that being said - I hated being gay. I hated how isolated it made me feel. I hated how it felt like I would never find someone that would love me because I was the only person that felt that way (spoiler alert: I wasn’t!)

I hated myself. I was a 13 year old kid that didn’t want to be alive. 13!!! That’s so fucking young!

As an adult that’s currently making strides towards nurturing, reassuring, and loving their inner child this scene just absolutely wrecked me.

“Should we go for lunch?” Mr. Ajayi says to Mr. Farouk as he pats his shoulder. “Yeah,” Farouk replies.

The scene ends with Mr. Farouk looking back at the desk where his younger self sat one last time, then nodding again as he heads for lunch with his boyfriend almost as a way of saying to his younger self “look how far we’ve come.”

I really hope for those of us that grew up hating who we were, I hope you all are giving your younger selves some much needed grace and love.

Also @chronicintrovert thank you for creating such a lovely, comforting series I’m still crying my eyes out!

[nnicknnelsonn]

QUIET!

Thank you, Mr. Farouk 💘

20 Questions for Fic Writers

I was tagged by @silvagrey! Thank you for bringing me into the game.

How many works do you have on Ao3?

Four so far! Heart and Homeland is massive and multichapter, though. Hoping to post two other fics this week—one old one for the Les Mis fandom, one new one for Young Royals fandom.

What's your total Ao3 word count?

254,916

What fandoms do you write for?

Primarily Young Royals. I do have one sort of experimental piece for a show called Merli Sapere Aude and am going to be posting an old Les Mis fic (that I’ve never put on AO3 before) for Barricade Day this Thursday.

Top five fics by kudos:

Heart and Homeland comes first, followed by Terrain Boundaries Territory. Peripeteia and Pieces That Make Up A Set are tied for six kudos.

Do you respond to comments?

Yes, absolutely! I came of age in the livejournal era when comments sections were buzzing with conversation. Please just come and chat with me on my fics, it’s so much fun.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Chapter 32 of Heart and Homeland is the angstiest/most tragic ending of anything I’ve ever written and I am still proud of it. I made @heliza24 cry! But Heart and Homeland overall is going to have a happy ending, I promise.

Calculated Dust, the Les Mis fic I’m going to post, also has an anngsty ending.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I initially read this question and went ??? because I wasn’t sure how to answer it. I think this question might be better answered by my readers and what they might find happy.

Do you get hate on fics?

No. I suppose I get more indifference because I tend to write less popular characters and pairings.

Do you write smut?

Yes! I’m one of those aces who enjoys writing smut. My smut is not very explicit, admittedly. But I enjoy it as a form of character study (and also it is fun and hot.)

Craziest crossover?

I’m not going to tell you because I want it to be a surprise, but there is a blink-and-you-miss-it reference to a favorite childhood book series in my current WIP. I wonder who will spot it?

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge. I do not recommend stealing my fics, though.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I haven’t yet. I suppose if I wanted to be a masochist I could translate some of my fanfiction into Latin.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! @heliza24 and I are the dream team! The great thing about writing with a co-writer is that we try to one up one another and it means our stories are full of all kinds of twists and turns. We also sometimes record ourselves reading new chapters and send them to one another in little “audiobooks.”

All time favourite ship?

Sargust aka MY SHIP OF ALL TIME. I will write them tragically, I will write them hopefully, I will write them in the 19th century, I will write them in an AU where August is also a girl and they are sapphic. Sorry not sorry but they are… so hot together actually. (Obligatory disclaimer applies.)

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have this unfinished series of Heartstopper vignettes where they all have to take care of “egg children” at school as a project about responsible parenting. With one exception (eggception?) people are not paired with their romantic partner as coparent. 

The most important part of the fic is Darcy and Isaac deciding to protest the coparenting assignment by arguing for a better, more inclusive sex ed curriculum. They pass out a bunch of pamphlets written by one Dr. Jean Milburn. Darcy and Isaac’s chapter is told entirely as a school email chain, including some very beleaguered emails sent by Mr. Farouk.

It would be fun to finish that but I don’t know if I will because I sort of forget about Heartstopper when it’s not airing.

What are your writing strengths?

I think I have a good grasp of how to select telling details that show what’s going on in a scene. I also am very good at getting into a character’s brain/mindset and bringing the reader close to them. 

What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing quickly. Knowing how to end scenes. Being concise. (I’m hoping to get into a workshop this summer that will help me with the “being concise” thing.)

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

It’s cool? I like it? I read a lot of YA books that do that, so I’m used to reading it.

First fandom you wrote in?

If being a little kid and writing stories based on stories I like counts, probably Disney’s Robin Hood or The Wizard of Oz.

Here’s some Wizard of Oz “fanfiction” from when I was about four or five years old:

Favourite fic you've written?

Definitely Heart and Homeland, but the current one I’m working on (tentatively titled Swell the Numbers) is fixing itself in my heart too.

No pressure tags: to my roommate and bestie @coruscantrhapsody!

Hi, love ur art!

what do you think of ship Kurt/Jason dean? I think their interactions make a great spark and giving "strangers to enemies to lovers" dynamic. If you had some head cannons on them, pls share, I beg.

Aw thank you! I’m pleased as punch to know people enjoy my slightly unorthodox take on Heathers.

Ok this is AU centric so bare with me.

In a scenario where Kurt and JD weren’t romantically invested in Ram, Veronica, Duke or Braverman, their dynamic would be… interesting.

Even in the main AU timeline, Kurt is attracted to JD. Like Veronica, he’s smitten by the allure of this mysterious wanna be too cool for school bad boy, and he loves size differences (JD only about comes up to Kurt’s chest, and is wiry and lean in contrast to Kurt being a big bodybuilder). In the main AU, JD wants nothing to do with Kurt initially, finding him to be another jock asshole that tormented Specs, Braverman and Veronica. When Kurt and JD get to know each other better as time goes on when Kurt and Ram begin reforming after getting the crap beat out of them by JD and the shock of Specs’ sudden death, the two bond over shared nerdy interests and grief at loosing a loved one (Kelly for Kurt and Jocelyn for JD).

If it blossomed into true romance, the two would have a playful, flirty vibe, the “What’d your boyfriend say when you said you were moving to Sherwood, Ohiiiiooooo~” becoming a joke between them as JD always responds “About damn time.” as they kiss.

Because the fandom has adopted the idea Musical JD is the submissive/bottom type, it’s kind of a wonder JD is still alive from being eclipsed by the much larger Kurt when in bed (especially in non intimate ways, because Kurt takes up the bed, and tends to roll over on JD.)

In Heartstopper terms, if JD and Braverman were dating, they’d be Charlie and Nick (if Charlie had violent murderous impulses), while JD and Kurt would be Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi.

[newpathpride]

Oh my, I just realized I am also Mr. Farouk! I’m the middle aged person who didn’t realize they were gay until youth was long behind them…

When he said that line about missing out on youthful experiences it really hit me in the gut. This show really covered everything, including the challenges of coming out as an adult.

Alice Oseman and crew are genius. Thank you for bringing this show into existence!

The heart of Mr Farouk,

ch. 59: "Lazy Saturday"

The aroma of coffee began to percolate through the house. Nathan had time to search around in the pantry, finding the croissants, butter and jam; but that was as far as he went, he knew the croissants were Youssef’s department. Meanwhile, in the corner Kit-Kat crouched down on his haunches glowering across the room. Nathan was careful to give him a wide berth, treading gingerly around him.

Soon enough, Youssef emerged. Like Nathan, he had dressed for effect this morning. All he wore was a pair of sexy black football shorts, and no shirt. What a sight he presented: the black shorts, with his black liners and carbon sockets, complemented the jet black hair of his head, beard and chest, while the flash of metal from his pylons and hooks set off the flash of his hazel eyes. Nathan was completely entranced by his sexy, topless lover, his very own bionic man.

...what a sight he presented, the black shorts, with his black liners and carbon sockets...Nathan was completely entranced by his sexy, topless lover, his very own bionic man.

“Feed the cat, I dare you,” Youssef, at the pantry, tossed a bag of treats Nathan’s way.

“Ah … okay …” Nathan answered tentatively. He shook the bag and like a shot Kit-Kat came running across to him, meowing and rubbing himself against Nathan as he circled around his legs. Nathan squatted and showed Kit-Kat the now-opened bag, which drove him absolutely wild. He took one of the treats and, holding it between his thumb and forefinger, offered it to the cat. Kit-Kat, though in a mania of hunger—really there was something in these treats that always sent him crazy—gently took it from Nathan, without biting or nipping his fingers.

“Good boy,” Nathan cooed, offering him another—and another and another and another, until the cat walked away, sated, “Good boy, good boy,” Nathan cooed again, and Kit-Kat chirruped in reply.

Observing all this, Youssef thought ‘how sweet’. He couldn’t help but take it as some kind of good omen, given that Kit-Kat was usually completely hostile to everyone bar himself.

“He likes you,” he teased Nathan, “he’s never not hissed and growled at any visitor here—you’re the first one he’s warmed to.”

“I suppose that augers well then—I hope I can spend a fair bit of time here in the future, if you’ll have me, habibi.”

“Of course, my boyfriend, it’s great having you here, I love it,” as an afterthought, he added, “but I like your place too, you know.”

They sat at the table, enjoying their breakfast. The croissants—warm and buttery and jammy—were not as good as those in Paris but still pretty good for suburban England. The coffee, rich and creamy, was heavenly. The lovers sat there, taking in the simple joy of sharing a delicious meal with each other.

“So, habibi, did you have any idea of what you want to do today?”

“Well, my boyfriend, I thought I’d enlist your help in the kitchen—I want to put dinner on soon so it can simmer away during the day.”

“Oh … okay … you want me in the kitchen? You are brave, what are you thinking of?”

“Don’t worry, just help with some of the prep, no actual cooking—I’m doing Moroccan lamb—I hope that appeals. Anyway, what about you, what do you have in mind for today?”

“I brought a heap of art stuff. I’d like to draw a bit. And I brought you some stuff—just to play around with, only if you’re interested.”

“Hmmm … maybe?” There was a time when Youssef would have automatically, categorically said ‘no’. These days, being subjected to Nathan’s constant encouragement, he felt less unsure about his capabilities, and though he was quite sure he was devoid of any kind of artistic sense, he felt so much more open—again thanks to Nathan’s influence—to new experiences, to trying new things.

“Okay, cooking and drawing,” though Nathan was in no rush to do anything except savour the fantastic coffee.

“Let’s do it,” Youssef rose and made for the fridge and the larder, and started gathering the ingredients. He wanted Nathan to chop the vegetables; onions, carrots and potatoes—that was, especially the onions, the most fiddly and time-consuming part of the process for him. However, it quickly became obvious that Nathan was clueless about all things to do with cooking. Youssef even thought it may have been quicker for him to take over, despite how long it took him to do these intricate tasks with his prosthetic hooks. It didn’t matter, it was a joy to be doing stuff together and, with some patient coaching and gentle correction, Nathan was soon making a good job of it, while Youssef trimmed and carved the lamb into nice big chunks.

Before long the rich aroma of frying onions and garlic began wafting through the house, later joined by lamb, turmeric and other spices. It gave a cosy, homely feeling to the place. Nathan watched in fascination as Youssef deftly handled the various utensils and achieved the different tasks—frying, pouring, stirring and the like—with his hooks. Nathan almost let out a warning cry as he saw him about to pick up the casserole dish without first getting a pot-holder, then he realised, of course his prosthetics don’t feel the heat.

“There, we’ll just let that quietly stew away for a bit, and that’s our dinner,” Youssef said as he transferred the casserole from the cooktop to a slow oven.

“Mmmmm,” Nathan savoured it, he was loving being here.

“How about some tea, and maybe we can sit down and relax?”

“Lovely. Like I said, I’d like to draw. Actually, I’d like to draw you, will you sit for me?”

“Draw me? What, a portrait or something? … yes, of course, but why? Why on earth would you want to draw me?”

“Well … I love you …”

“I love you too!”

“… I love you, and right now I think I would want to draw you every day. Plus, you’re a great subject: your super-handsome looks and your amazing physicality.”

“Aaaar … hmmmm …”

“I know you don’t like it but, this idea of ‘difference’ is a real thing in art these days, there’s a big movement to proudly portray people with their various differences, to make a strong statement about it being okay to be different. You can be a part of that movement too, you know.”

“Oh … I don’t know, I’m not any kind of advocate or activist, don’t want to be, either.”

“That’s alright. You can at least pose for me, nothing more.”

“Yes, yes, like I said, for you, anything—my lovely boyfriend.”

“I see I’ve gained an adjective now,” Nathan teased.

They repaired to the living room, with their cups of tea. Nathan suggested Youssef sit on the couch while he got his stuff. Returning with his favourite sketch-pad and charcoals, he sat cross-legged on the floor, facing Youssef.

“So, how about you place your feet flat on the floor—yes—now, lean forward, elbows on your knees—that’s it—and look straight at me. Wow!”

...feet flat on the floor, lean forward, elbows on your knees, now, look straight at me... wow!

It was a powerful aspect, the unambiguous metal of his leg pylons and hooks, the sexy thick hairy chest, the muscled shoulders, sort of bound by the harness-straps of his prosthetic arms, and his intense, cool gaze. All was magnified by the stark black and white of Nathan’s charcoal drawing.

“Can I see it?”

“Promise not to hate it, or freak out over your body-image issues?”

“Hmm, okay, I’ll try not to.”

Nathan got up and brought over the sketch. Youssef gasped a little, and slowly, carefully, thoughtfully perused the picture before him. He had gone completely quiet as he continued to stare at, to meditate on, Nathan’s portrait of him.

“You’re not going to go all lachrymose on me again, are you?” Nathan asked, only half-jokingly.

“Ummm … no … gosh, it’s remarkable, it’s such a strong image, I’ve never seen myself like this before—you’ve made me look so powerful.”

“Ah, well, the pose, and the medium, and the style add to it; but really all the power comes from the subject, the sitter, you—it all comes from you, Youssef.”

“Yes, but…”

“Look, habibi, honestly, this is one of my better ones, I can tell, they don’t always turn out so well. I mean to say, success as in actually being able to realise on paper what I see, to convey or transmit what I see and feel to you, the observer. It doesn’t always happen this well, in fact sometimes it doesn’t happen at all.”

“That’s interesting, I never thought about art in those terms. It’s all so subjective, isn’t it? You know, with science, we spend all our time trying to eliminate the subjective. We have to aim for complete objectivity.”

“Of course, that’s why it’s science and not art. Science and art, objective and subjective, just like yin and yang—that’s why we’re so good together, my lovely.”

“And here’s me thinking it was because you are so damned sexy,” Youssef had that glint in his eye again…

Heartstopper for the fandom asks?

Hello lovely, thank you for the ask <3.

Heartstopper

The first character I first fell in love with:  Since we first see Nick through Charlie's POV, I'd have to say Nick. He was just so sweet and yet unattainable (or so we thought) in the beginning.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:  Tao. Tao is kind of prickly in a group of mostly sweet characters, but he definitely grew on me, especially in season 2 of the show as we got to know him better.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t:  There aren't that many characters in Heartstopper that I don't like or that I find other people like that I don't.

The character I love that everyone else hates: I feel for Charlie's mom. She's too harsh with him, but after we find out a bit about her backstory, her reactions come into focus more clearly.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: I haven't really had any characters in this universe that I originally liked but now don't.

The character I would totally smooch: Hmm...maybe Tori? All of the characters are coupled up so cutely, I can't get between them.

The character I’d want to be like: Maybe Mr. Ajayi? I love how he supports Charlie. And also how he gently lets Mr. Farouk know he likes him, and goes for it.

The character I’d slap: Harry. For sure.

A pairing that I love: All of them, but I have a soft spot for Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi.

A pairing that I despise: None really.

Early Thoughts on Heartstopper Season 2 After a First Watch

I really enjoyed this season. It felt maybe a bit less magical than the first one, maybe because it tackles heavier topics, or because the novelty died off or because I just grew as a person, but this season was fantastic nonetheless.

Spoilers ahead!

Of course, I read all the books, even before the first season came out, so I already knew the story between Mr. Ajayi and M. Farouk. They already had my heart, but I looooooooved how it was portrayed in the show!!! Mr. Farouk made me cry so much because I relate to him a lot. I too discovered I'm queer later on and missed out on things. His eyes when he realized he could have this, he could have Mr. Ajayi, broke me. It was so well done.

And my baby Tao, he stole the show. He's the funniest, the most amazing character, and I think he is my favourite now (I didn't have one before, but I had a soft stop for Tao, this season just confirmed it). He has so much love to give and I loved getting more info on his background. Tao and Elle's chemistry was also so amazing and their kiss scenes were so great.

Also, Isaak in that scene in the book store? It's me. It's soooooooo me. Loved it. (also, really glad to finally have a good asexual representation in a show, thank you!)

And of course, Nick and Charlie. I feel like Joe and Kit's chemistry got better, which was really nice, I loved how many hugs there was. I loved getting more inside Nick's head, his anxiety and everything. And of course, Charlier with his struggles, I think they did it well.

Overall, a good season, can't wait for the other one.

Made the questionable decision to marathon all 8 episodes of Heartstopper Season 2 before I needed to sleep for work, and wow. I loved it so much. Wish I’d had this about 10+ years ago, but Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi healed something for me, and I just loved it all to pieces. Thank you. That is all.*

*For now.
