The TRAUMA begins... ~ Heartstopper Season 2 EP1&2 Reaction ~ 

When r u posting 3 and 4 on you tube ?? I love ur videos and cant wait

i was so confused too lol

I didn’t notice that!!

it was so tiny but i loved it

Dogs are actually the best

She knows David is an a....le

I noticed that also.

This. She looked so worried in that scene....she is not optimistic like Charlie is trying to be.

yup... that was Tori's best scene. Even better than the phone scene. Her look of panic was 100% understandable and believable. She's like, oh hell no, I'm not seeing my brother go through this again....

Yep, that pretty much broke me.

She is incredible!

Yeah, that scene was brutal. Charlie takes so much responsibility for things beyond his control. You can't fix other people's problems.

I rewinded that reaction 4 times! 😆

I was like" is he gonna talk over it and not know ?!!!!" for a second :D

@@Acinnnsame 😂

IM LITERALLY LAUGHING SO HARD ON THAT ONE

SAME

To be fair, I think Imogen caught on in episode 4. Charlie avoided her gaze when she asked if him and Ben had history. Imogen backed off when Charlie looked away. I think she confirmed what Nick warned her.

It is tough to have these wise words at that age

I have literally never felt so deeply and completely for fictional characters in my life. It's beyond anything I could have imagined, myself.

I honestly think the change in the storyline that handled Harry and Ben were fantastic. I don't want to say anything more due to spoiler territory.

​@ECSDaemon I've been thinking this. Alice has done such a good job with the new characters as well as slowly introducing storylines that were foreshadowed in season one like with Tao and his Dad or what happens with Darcy. It is all done so well. I really hope Netflix gives them more than just a season 4 because we need the 4th, 5th and 6th book on screen.

@harlankilmon998 I completely agree like if nick and charlie broke up i would probally cry forever and never be able to sleep agin

​@@Thestrangestthing9good news! Alice has done a couple of flash forwards in the comics and Nick and Charlie are STILL together. ... So they don't ever break up long term. They are for life, it seems. Which is just heartwarming. It's honestly not something you see very much of in queer media, unfortunately.

I think she just needed to pee.

@@johnpsanchezhaha. That, too, but when she showed Nick her new dog and when they were with Charlie in the kitchen, she kept asking leading questions to give Nick an opportunity to tell her. She wasn’t being thick (this time) she was trying to tell Nick she was a safe person to tell that he’s dating Charlie. I thought it was so sweet and adorable of her… and yah, she needed to piss. 🤣

She might be a bit thick but she’s such an adorable character!!

Same! 😂 But I knew it would do that, so call it a calculated risk😅

same!! omg the are so cute i have to remind my self to breathe

I feel like how Isaac did at Tara's party when he was watching all the couples kiss

SAME❤❤😍😍😍

NAH that's already my job😂😭

I completely agree.

I am low key mad at them because they grounded him without digging deeper. He just as well might have troubles focusing because he basically does not eat. I have a history of ED. It has to do a lot with regaining control over ones life. So what they did they took another bit of it away from him and thus he refused yet another meal offer from his father. You can see the father feels in his heart they could do better. Because they really could. They didn't even talk with him. They don't even recognize his problems. As a parent I kind of understand where that came from but they definitely could do better.

yes but they didn't have to ban nick completely. that's just going to cause issues in his relationship w his parents, esp his mum, bc to charlie, they're keeping him from seeing his biggest support and comfort. it's gonna distract charlie MORE to not be able to see nick, and OFC he's gonna want to sneak around to see him. his dad had the right idea w not banning him from nick completely, just restricting it.

@@leilanyx i will say tho that the Mom was being a little harsh, but some ppl are saying that they are being COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE, which theyre not

His mom is harsh but she *did* see him go thru all the bullying and we don't know what that was like for her because she got almost zero screen time in Season 1. She might have also suspected the anorexia. I thought Charlie was being too wrapped up in Nick also. Nick was thinking of Charlie but still getting his school work done. Charlie was just completely letting everything slide. I don't think it's just Nick though. Nick is almost like an escape for him having to face other anxieties. I don't think she should have completely banned him from seeing Nick. They could have worked out something where they could hang out on weekends, including Fridays. But I also felt like Charlie's letting schoolwork slide is totally realistic. The mom's reaction is also realistic because often parents have knee-jerk reactions when they're worried. I'm a parent and a gramma and I can attest to this, although I tended to be pretty open with my kids. I don't think I ever grounded them. My mom used to ground me and then relent after a few days. I mentioned this to my husband (highschool sweetheart) and he said, "I remember. It seemed like she was grounding you ever other day." My mom's concern partly had to do with the fact that all my friends were at least 3 years older then me and out of high school. I also agree with the person who points out Charlie's anorexia is definitely causing concentration/fatigue problems.

Omg that scene was vomit inducing. The smug grin on his face 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Agreed!! I was like noooo! That is so not fair! Alice so slipped that in to fcuk with our brains 😂

I guess it’s also just showing that all of the characters are so complex!

In an intelligence battle Charlie would neg him though, his head was just not in it(For the TV show at least)

​@@assassindancer914 Yes, Charlie is canonically better than Ben. He just gets distracted or his mental illness flares up.

I still don't really like her she is sort of over the top but I can tell she is trying to be friendly

she's adorable. I think she's the biggest comedic relief in the whole show. her heart is in the right place, but she just doesn't know how awkward she can be sometimes. Plus, she has the worst gaydar ever.

Why I think Imogen is gonna turn out to be bi or Pansexual.. Cause the way she was looking at Sahar playing the guitar/bass/w.e she was like 😍😬. Did anyone else feel that way. When I saw that I was like oh no please don't tell me 👀 she's supposed to be an ally!!

@@jellyfish1781 I think she just wants to be loved properly. Like she doesn’t care about your gender she just wants someone to love her. Honestly same tho

Started? I loved her since the first episode

I fucking WHEEZED

the set up for season three... thank goodness we'll have a year or so to prepare ourselves for it.

@@graphiquejack ugh but I dont want to have to wait that long 😂

Literally I am not ready for it I'm gonna cry so much I know it

i’m sorry THIS is the calm before the storm??? i’m not ready GOODNIGHT.

@@maybehere_sorry, no spoilers- but this is the calm. The only bright spot is that the author says that Heartstopper will have a happy ending

For real 🤩🤩

i feel like i need a trans girl bestie at this point (im a cis girl but y'all seem so cool)

Same❤

Same

Sameeee I’ve been waiting

SAME

same

I KNEW I WOULD LOVE HIM! literally the minute he slapped the ruler i was like, umm he’s gonna be good, slay🤩😂

IKR i literally loved the character from the first QUIET lol. He contrasts Mr. Ajayi really well and they make a great team

I had read the comics but when I saw his first scene I was like "umm this is our farouk?" but I knew I would like him so I just had to wait 😂

SAMEEE

True but also, like, Charlie is attracting these attractive men. Ben is still obsessed with Charlie but treats him like private property.

Nah Imogens thing is dating her friends… She mentions more than once how she was friends with both Nick and Ben for years and years

I must have a cold heart (or is cause I watched while working), but I didn’t cry on both seasons

Honestly I was crying at least once per episode

I cried on the last episode, when Charlie was telling Nick about the bullying.😢

I cried quite a lot in the first season. The second season made me cry the first two episodes and the end DESTROYED me istg

Charlie talkie about the bullying was heartbreaking. Nick crying. Help me.

IM WHEEZING

Hang in there bestie 🩷💜💙

I’m 41, and my mom still thinks, “it was a phase,” unfortunately. I came out as bi to my parents in my early 20s. Some people just can’t wrap their heads around it or stay in denial. It does still hurt that she can’t get it, but I can’t change that. I’m sorry this person did not react well. That’s on them, not you. I’m glad you are happy with yourself. Being authentic does that.

I wasnt a huge fan of him in his first episode, but from there he grew on me. Now I love him and am wishing him a lovely happy future on the show.

OMG THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA!

Same here bestie I literally watched it load onto Netflix and sat there for 4 hrs (not so) straight. Lolll

I did the same thing and my issue is I decided to Google the comics and I suggest don't do it 😑 lol if you love the show it's brilliant we'll done

i didn't have a single doubt in my mind that they would get rid of that storyline. its incredibly important in the story

@@acailoves i feared a little because is a very heavy subject, i was scared they wouldn't want the series to touch on that. I'm glad they kept it

@@camillaabreu1967 it was already hinted at in season 1. but i really doubt they would've got rid of it because of its importance to the story and charlies character

​@@acailovesYeah I was 100% sure they would keep that storyline but one thing that surprised me Spoilers I didn't expect them to actually mention Charlie cutting himself like that surprised me so much. It is in the comics but I thought "okay we're getting the ED storyline but maybe the self-harm aspect of it won't be included" but they went for it and I'm so glad they did. This could help so many people.

@@acailoves good for you then.

It's Nick*** who says that is his fav chocolate

*Has one, sorry

I mean there are plenty of parents who WOULDN'T react the way that Charlie's parents reacted. Nick's mom being the example IN THE SHOW of a parent who does not parent in the way that Charlie's parents parent... I know that if I had a kid I wouldn't react in the way that Charlie's parents reacted either... Because my parents also didn't react in that way when I came out to them as a teen. So no, I wouldn't say that Charlie's parents reacted the way "any parent would"... Charlie's mom has a very Authoritarian style of parenting. But that is not the only style or the healthiest style of parenting that exists. Nick's mom is more Authoritative which is a significantly healthier style of parenting. Or at the very least it creates more emotionally stable adults compared to Authoritarian.

@@AnxietyRat it’s hard to know how we would react when we haven’t been through it, but yes Charlie’s mum is definitely an authoritive parent whereas his dad is just doing what any other dad does and goes along with the mother, that’s certainly how my dad was, I never had anyone over for sleepovers at that age, I wasn’t out until my early 20s, but now I think about it my parents probably would have been ok, they would have just been happy that I had a friend over!

@@garyevans1984 yeah, I don't know I came out when I was 13 and from a very young age I've always been very sex-positive and so I don't really give a fuck if my kids would be having sex as long as they were doing so safely. Like saying no sleepovers ...keep the door open... I wouldn't do that. Ever. Even teens deserve privacy. It's not who I am as a person or who I would be as a parent so I know EXACTLY how I would react if my 15/16 year old(which is how old Nick and Charlie are) got into a relationship as long as they were using condoms, dental dams, and lube... I don't really give a fuck what they're doing consensually. And guess what teenagers have a sex drive and so they're usually going to want to have sex and there's nothing wrong with that... Trying to control your child's behaviour isn't a healthy thing to do and that's what Charlie's mom is trying to do. She also unfortunately has a misunderstanding of what mental health disorders are and so that causes even more conflict when Charlie is struggling even more in the next season/book.... But yeah I can understand when the parents put some restrictions on them seeing each other because Charlie is grades were slipping... I can understand that. I think the punishment was a little bit too severe but I can understand why they did it because his grades. But also as someone who is VERY mentally ill in high school and my grades absolutely suffered because of my mental illness ...Charlie's grades might actually be suffering due to the undiagnosed mental illnesses that he has. It doesn't necessarily have everything to do with the fact that Charlie is hanging out with Nick more but that is what the parents of focused on because it's the only significant change that they understand is happening in Charlie's life... Still doesn't mean that it was the right thing to do.... And so that's why the punishment surrounds him being able to see Nick. But amputating your child social life also causes loneliness it can actually make the mental health disorders even worse, which it does for Charlie, and did for me as a teen. My parents would take away electronics when I would skip classes which was essentially amputating my social life outside of school. The cutting off of social life also didn't really work for me... it didn't make me go to school or do my assignments because my mental illness was controlling my life. Like Charlie's does later on. I feel like we can acknowledge why Charlie's parents are reacting the way that they are but we can also acknowledged that how they're reacting ISN'T correct because they don't have all of the information to correctly assess the situation and create an appropriate punishment that might actually work. The punishments they've landed on are just going to cause conflict and resentment and anger and kind of make Charlie's mental health state worse. It's exactly what happened in my own life experience and is what happens in the comics. 🤷‍♀️ But I do agree that Charlie's dad is fine. Actually agreed with the partial cutting off of Charlie seeing Nick so that Charlie could focus a little bit more on his school work but still also have a social life and connection with Nick....Charlie's dad reminds me a lot of my own dad. Passive but ultimately supportive. He's fine. It's mainly Charlie's mom that I have an issue with she's very similar to my own mother personality wise.

I think the main problem people had with it was just how cold and confused their reaction was. Like obviously, as parents they can set the rules but they could just pretend to be happy for him rather than look at him with fear in their eyes

@@TheResidance Yeah I totally agree on that, it was a very cold exchange especially as the show in general is very warm, maybe they could have been like a bit more happy for Charlie but were then like make sure to focus on schoolwork first
