I'm going to come back and do an individual GIF set for each couple, cause they deserve it. But, sadly this show is over and what a beautiful journey to go on, kudos to all the actors and everyone involved in this production, thank you.

Hebe Tells Ares What To Wear 😖

***Ares is home from battle, dressed in "barbarian" warrior attire, discussing Hebe's upcoming bday.***

Hebe: I hope you are planning to change your outfit before my celebration.

Ares: What is wrong with what I am wearing?

Hebe: (scrunches face) Trousers are informal attire.

Ares: But they grant me flexibility in combat. A long tunic is much too constricting.

Hebe: I can assure you there will be no fighting at my party. 

Ares: (heavy sigh) For shame.

My favorite thing about Chuuya and Dazai’s dynamic is that they keep trying to peer pressure each other into murder (and other serious crimes), which is kind of exactly what you’d expect out of two bored teenagers who were given too much power in a criminal organization.

Heartstopper: some cheesy romance or something more?

While navigating my way through the Internet on various platforms I’ve seen many opinions and ratings on the netflix tv series and graphic novels heartstopper. Now among the thousands upon thousands of positive responses I’ve seen many people call it cringe or just down right hard to watch. I’m writing this post today to dispute this.

Can I argue that at times the blooming and tentative relationship of the couple can be a bit much from time to time? No not really. But I would urge people not to stigmatise this book or disregard it like you would a Taylor swift song or the colour pink (Not that those should be either but that’s a story for another day). Because for the queer community or at least much of the queer youth that I know it’s a whole lot more than just your average Rom com. All too often we get the “token gay kid” or the “weird lesbians” within movies that creates an unrealistic image of what it means to be queer. It is all too rare that we see queer love just going well. And yet we still don’t get the full sunflowers and rainbows experience alice still managed to deal with some of the heaviest sides of mental illness and teenage pain without it being cripplingly depressing to read. For me at least I think that is exactly what the youth need, among social media that taps into your average teenage angst and exaggerates it and pushes you towards a very nihilistic view of life Positive media such as heartstopper can be a way that bring us back to our reality.

Not only this I think it’s important to recognise this as an achievement of how far society has come. Just think less than 60 years ago being gay was a crime or less than 15 where gay marriage was illegal compared to now where queer representation is more and more being brought to the forefront of mainstream media with Alice leading us on. Waving the flag as some may say . Maybe I’m looking too much into this but to me that seems pretty special.

Text ID: For me, autumn has never been a sad season. The dying leaves and the days that grow shorter and shorter have never evoked the end of something for me but instead brought with them anticipation for the future.
