finished s2 of heartstopper & ngl, i kinda didn't like how they handled the ace rep
#no spoilers i just have some thoughts about it & i need to vent them#it just felt like they glossed over the whole thing tbh#like. idk about others obviously but in my experience you don't REALIZE that your feelings as an ace person are any different#than those around you. like you just assume that everyone is exaggerating or using hyperbole or whatever#& when you DO eventually realize that how you feel is not how everyone else feels that's fucking terrifying???????#like you're literally gonna do whatever you can to make everyone else believe you're just like them#also peer pressure is a thing??? like you're gonna feel so much pressure to do what everyone else is doing! especially as a teenager!!!#like idk. maybe it's different now than when i was younger & it has been a while since i was a teenager but like.#being aro/ace is such a unique queer experience. like we're severely underrepresented & face exclusion even in queer spaces#or from other queer people & i feel like that was not addressed at all this season! & the rep just didn't feel all that thoughtful imo#also there was so much fucking kissing. like you have 8 30-min episodes & your gonna spend 1/2 of it on kiss scenes??#where is the plot!!! the PLOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!#like obviously i'm glad to have the rep since it is so rare & i'm happy that young people will have this character/these words to use#like that is honestly really awesome! & i wish i had that as a teenager!! i just. idk it didn't do it for me#also i do realize i'm not the target demographic for this show but like. idk. i still have thoughts about it#n e way#rainyrambles#dl
