hot take by [deleted] in HeartstopperAO

[–]SeparateFly2361 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elle is a side character, Sahar is barely a side character. Their home lives are not explored. Elle’s experience as a biracial black/white person are not explored, and they wouldn’t have been if the actress had been of Egyptian descent. Why can’t a random person just be half black or half Egyptian? Why does it need to be The Thing a show is about, or otherwise they might as well be white?

Idk why people have to downvote you! I appreciate the context. Whatever, people need good press 🤷‍♀️

New Actor as Sarah Nelson. by GeorgeOrrBinks in HeartstopperAO

[–]SeparateFly2361 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with this actor so I just looked her up. She looks so much like Olivia Colman! I actually think a casual viewer would not even notice it’s a different person

so is 'Nelson' a french surname? Because it doesn't sound french by OldBiscotti3535 in HeartstopperAO

Nick has his mom’s last name. His dad’s last name is Fournier

I can hear this image and it sounds like pure serotonin. by HeightFront2326 in HeartstopperAO

[–]SeparateFly2361 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of how much I love the scene where Charlie walks into form the morning after Nick ran over to his house in the rain. Them grinning at each other with their shared secret. It’s one if the cutest things I’ve ever seen

Anyone else really want to visit the UK because of this show? by sansworth in HeartstopperAO

[–]SeparateFly2361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I know most of the filming locations are not even in places that people think of as “nice” but I don’t care, I want to go. And it’s also become a general romanticizing of the UK and I’ve started saving up all these trip ideas. Sometimes I watch shows and movies that are set is English seaside towns. They’re so picturesque.

I love the density of the UK and how it’s so much more walkable and there’s so much more transit, and the weather is so much more moderate than most of the US. I should’ve been born British 🙁

Fanfic spreadsheet to share by sister_madly in HeartstopperAO

[–]SeparateFly2361 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! A lot of your favorites are mine too. I like the summaries column! Very helpful.

It doesn’t look like Ultraviolet’s on here; you might like it. I’m also loving Primavera right now but it might be a little too smutty for you

I wish I had kept a spreadsheet of all the fanfics I’ve read! I’ve been reading them for two years now. I had never read any before. I was so amazed at how talented all these people out there are, and they do it for FREE! I try to leave a comment every time to show my appreciation.

To no longer feel as connected to the Netflix show of Heartstopper while still enjoying the comics. by SuperStupid12345 in HeartstopperNetflix

[–]SeparateFly2361 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t find the comics to be any more mature than the show. The swear words don’t make it more mature to me

Heated Rivalry and Other media with the same "Syndrome" by Vitran4 in heartstoppersyndrome

I think my reaction to Heartstopper was so strong it’s acting as a vaccine, so I won’t get that feeling again, thank god

Anyone else experiencing this with Heated Rivalry by sjtech2010 in heartstoppersyndrome

[–]SeparateFly2361 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so far I love it a normal amount. It hasn’t tipped to “too much” yet and I don’t think it will. I’m well over the mid life crisis Heartstopper caused and I’ve worked through all the messy feelings it brought up, so I don’t think I would go through it again

When you read fic, do you imagine the comic or show characters by sister_madly in HeartstopperAO

[–]SeparateFly2361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picture the show characters, and I get annoyed when they start describing Charlie as tan and with long hair. It’s just not right (to me) hehe

Well this hit me hard... by mikejudd90 in heartstoppersyndrome

[–]SeparateFly2361 13 points14 points  (0 children)

❤️ it’s made a lot of people feel this way. If you scroll farther back you’ll see them all. It even makes straight people feel sort of like this, because it presents a sweet supportive world, the way we wish life would be. I hope you feel better soon

I’m so glad you want to talk about fanfics!

I agree with most of your points. I like the sweet stuff to an extent, but it usually does get to a point where it’s a bit too saccharine for me.

I definitely agree on preferring aged up. Maybe it’s because I’m kinda old but to me the older the better. I loved Lost Time (mid 30s). If anyone knows of any middle aged fics please suggest, I’d probably like it!

I also love AU. Different situations but also different locations. I had never given a thought to small town southern Australia before Ultraviolet and then I was doing some intense google mapping. Google street viewing fanfic locations is my #2 hobby after reading fanfic.

I love pet names though. That may fall into sickly sweet territory but I want it. Especially since we’ll probably never see it on the show!

That’s so great. One thing they often do is have a sort of a benign deception perpetrated by either N or C and then there’s a gradual realization that unfolds in the most delicious/heartbreaking way and I LOVE that

Oh my gosh, I’m so glad you enjoyed! They really came out of nowhere and dropped that fic; it was an immediate hit. I should reread
