Initially Betty is reading an issue of Sabrina. Which, depending on when in Archie's history it is may be a little weird, but Sabrina right then has nothing to do with Riverdale and exists in a different universe. But a half decade later, someone snuck something in for their own amusement. It happens. Rex W Lindsey paid homage to George Herriman on a shirt Jughead wore once. And here's Fernando Ruiz with Robot Monster:
I note that I caught a second Robot Monster from him elsewhere.
But. Okay. Nelson. Pals. A 'P' lettered baseball cap guy -- Pittsburgh Represent maybe? who happens to be the one taken from the vague outline to having details. A neck beard who is probably but perhaps not bald. The short haired woman with short dark hair remains the same. And toward what is this a sleight of hand plug directed? I honestly do not know. Is there a Willie Nelson fan on staff?
Good Omens season two is coming out a week before Heartstopper season two.
In honor of that I just wanted to remind everyone that canonically, Good Omens was one of Nick Nelson's bisexual realizations™ in Heartstopper lmao. And I of course have to mention Nick and Charlie dressing up as Aziracrow for Halloween afterwards, they are so precious. Two beloved silly little gay British book-to-screen series dropping their second seasons one week apart is gonna ruin me.
Wishing my favourite canon bisexuals and biromantics a happy bi visibility day/week
(They didn't canonise bi Nora in the movie and I couldn't find the scene where Sam mentions being bi, but I couldn't not include them, so just look at 'em.)
honestly i think it’s so gross how many adults i have seen on this app upset that heartstopper is a show rather mild in its sexual content. it’s a show that’s target audience is young queer people….about young queer people……played by young queer people. the show is not “anti-sex” at all, if you actually watched the show charlie and nick discuss that they WANT to do more, that they want to “go further” some day. charlie has a boat load of trauma (including trauma about having his physical boundaries ignored) however and nick is still processing his sexuality, so why are you pushing for them to be intimate?? i’ve known people who have dated for years and didn’t actually have sex until they were adults and mature enough to do so.
viewing this show as a adult woman i find it honestly disturbing that there is this fixation on the necessity of sexual content including children. because that is who these characters are. children.
the show does not bash sex (uhh the teachers very clearly banged??), it merely advises against forcing yourself to be sexual before you are ready. the queer community has always been demonized as a “hypersexual” group of people, but that is merely a label forced upon us. heartstopper is the one of the only queer pieces of media that defies this expectation, and tells queer kids everywhere that it’s ok to take your time, and that sex is not the end all be all.
Listen I just know Alex and Henry watched Heartstopper together from different continents and were FaceTiming for the entire 4 hours and I know Nick and Charlie are waiting just as impatiently as the rest of us for Red White and Royal Blue to drop tomorrow
"I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone. I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when i see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their bestfriend, I realize that even though i like being alone, i don't fancy being lonely. The sky is beautiful, but the people are sad. I just need someone who won't run away."
