CA$H PIGGOTT.

I need to talk about Cash Piggott and how important his character is to the asexual community.

I absolutely adore the fact that Cash calls people out on their acephobia and never, ever apologises for who he is. He doesn't think he's broken.

In season one, we see Darren say "you know what, I think there's something really fucking wrong with you, Cash," and Cash immediately, with no hesitation, screams "well fuck you then".

In season two, we see Dusty say that he's being selfish asking Darren to give up sex and he immediately stands up and says "fuck this" because he knows he doesn't have to listen to people making him feel bad about his sexuality.

And when he's talking to his nan about it, Cash says "it's not fair, I would do anything, why does it have to be the one thing I can't change about myself?"

In every single one of these scenes, we never see Heartbreak High blame Cash for his sexuality. We never see him apologise to anyone for not feeling sexual attraction, and we never see him feel guilty about it, or try to change who he is.

CA$H recognises that his sexuality might be difficult for people to accept and understand, but he never lets other people make him feel like he's broken, or flawed. And that's so powerful to see.

Because asexual people are not broken. And we can't be fixed. And we are not being selfish for putting in boundaries.

I absolutely adore Douglas Piggott. He means the world to me, and this representation is so, so important.

this may be controversial but it is my opinion 🫣

CA$H: it’s, um, it’s not normally like this. i promise. don’t laugh at me DARREN: sorry, no, you look cute.

Quinni was the QUEEN this season

Her murder wall was amazing

The scene where she freaks out because everything is changing so fast

Keeping herself alive until the others can find her after being bitten by a venomous snake

Refusing to mask for several days just to show her friends (Darren especially) just how much different she is when not pretending even a bit

I love that her favorite books made a reappearance, special interests are so important

Everything with the school captain debate because of course she knows everyone at the school and her calling Sasha and Spider out was perfect

The little moments with her and Cash at the zoo (I'm an autistic Cash truther)

Her wanting to find Bird Psycho because she feels like that's the one thing she can do for Amerie

And she does

Queen of B&E

Asking Sasha to be her vice captain and Sasha thinking Quinni wants to get back together

Honestly I think working together might help Sasha understand Quinni a bit more and then I could see their relationship working out better this time if they do give it another go

Cash would’ve killed Chook in broad daylight if he found out what he did to Darren

DARREN RIVERS and CA$H PIGGOT Heartbreak High: S2E2 SLTs vs. CUMLORDS

idk if it's ever directly discussed, but logically speaking, it's pretty likely that Ca$h also has self-esteem issues after being bullied by literally everyone in his life except his Gram before he met Darren. He seems to have a good idea of who he really is, but he still hides it most of the time. He's still been taught that he isn't enough, and being himself is punishable with violence and relentless taunting.

I think this is part of why he and Darren struggle so much with his asexuality. They both have low self-esteem, so Darren thinks Ca$h isn't into them because they're not good enough, and Ca$h thinks he's not good enough if he can't give Darren sex. Neither of them believes their partner would be willing to make sacrifices for them or accept their perceived imperfections, so they fall into a cycle of breaking up with each other instead.
