ok i'm overtired so take this post with a grain of salt but the main reason dead boy detectives is so dear to me, besides being very fun and campy and well-done, is that it's so clearly made through a queer lens. it's made with love for queer - specifically gay - aesthetics, people, and stories.
the last time i saw this much care put into queer stories, it was with our flag means death. and i can't even talk!! about that!! because it was dear to me too, there are so many other gay shows that just ring a little bit hollow in comparison (as much as i adore heartstopper, for example, it has its drawbacks too). edit: AND it's a genre show!!
i guess in sum, it's BY and FOR gay people, rather than just ABOUT us. and that's so rare, and so important. so i'm gonna be weird about it.

I think part of what makes heartstopper so good is because it’s written as a backstory.
Alice already had nick and Charlie as an established loving supportive couple written as background characters in tori spring’s story (solitaire)
This isn’t a story of will they won’t they or even a dramatic story of getting together. We already know they end up together. And we know they stay together happily. Instead, Heartstopper is an exploration of how this couple built their strong and beautiful relationship starting from when they met. Alice has said that the “getting together” part of relationship stories is the least interesting part in their opinion.
And I think that mentality is what makes the story so rich and meaningful. It’s the story of how a healthy long term relationship is built over time and how it grows.
I love Nick and Charlie’s story. And I hope it can model a healthy relationship to young people out there who-like I did- subconsciously learn a lot by watching tv and movies.
