The “I’m bi, actually” is so dear to me because yes bitch let’s say the word!! Finally someone makes their characters say bisexual on television!!!!!!! FINALLY
there is a part of me that will always be a little sad when watching heartstopper. i didn’t really find a supportive group of friends who could watch me go through crushes and heartbreaks and fights and challenges. i don’t really have a little queer family to feel incredibly comfortable with. i never got to have all that in my teenage years, i hardly have it now. but heartstopper is also the reason why i know this is possible, that this kind of love and queer joy and pride exist. so there is a little part of me that will always be sad i didn’t get to live this slice of queer life, but there is a much bigger part of me that is so grateful for this kind of representation, for this kind of love and friendship, this kind of acceptance. there is a huge part of me that can never thank alice enough for creating this world that is now my safest place. there is the biggest part of me who will always turn to heartstopper to find comfort and queer joy

we all must get weirder and more queer. i am completely serious and genuine and this is urgent. please get weirder and gayer now. if you see me acting weird and gay mind your business a little bit.
I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn’t have to read a subtitle that’s obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what’s going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren’t perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished
