OMG YES

I wanted to add to this with my experience as a gay teenager who fell in love with a perceived straight guy:

I’m a Charlie kinnie so I can confirm: THATS HOW IT FEELS TO FALL FOR A ‘STRAIGHT’ GUY!!

I was so amazed with him, he was the center of my thoughts most of the time but at the same time I felt so sad. It’s such a strange feeling, loving someone more than I could allow myself to show. I didn’t want to make him uncomfortable, and I was scared to lose him because I loved him so much.

I wanted to be around him all the time, I longed for him to feel the same but knew in the back of my mind he would never. but like charlie, I was wrong.

For Charlie the moment that ‘changed the friendship to something else’ was the scene at the party where they kissed, and later had a talk about it

For me it was pulling him aside from our friend group and telling him about my feelings, it was when I knew things were going to change between us, for the better or for the worst. After a couple of weeks and some dates he officially became my boyfriend and we kissed.

It may have been an opposite progression from the show but It was still very similar (for my story it might’ve taken longer but it’s still similar)

There are other things that are different, such as the progression of the friendship and relationship and the showing of affection but all in all it’s very similar, and I find comfort in finally seeing representation on how young gay romance actually is, because there’s very little out there that actually got the point of how it is.

For anyone wondering; I’ve known him as a friend for more than a year and we’ve been dating officially for abt 2 and a half months and no, he’s not straight, and yes he started questioning his sexuality at about the same time he met me (which I’m not saying is connected but….)

I love him very much and hope we stay together because honestly I’ve never felt this way towards anyone else, but I am young so idk what’ll happen :/

I think we all agree that Heartstopper is amazing, both cinematic and story wise. But in my opinion one of the greatest things it accomplished is portraying pure, romantic love. Of course like most people that watched the show I felt incredibly lonely after, but I also felt at peace for the first time in forever. Somehow, I was always scared of falling in love because most relationships portrayed in the media focus on the physical and sexual aspect, which sometimes makes you forget that love is so much more.

Heartstopper managed to make me want to fall in love again and I love the show all the more for it.

Sorry to confuse you, it actually means cute, i just wasn’t really paying attention in class, sorry 😐

I am in the middle of French class when my teacher mentions the word mignon which is a pole, and randomly I thought “this is my new insult

God dammit I’m only 40 pages into this book and it’s already gay

Yayyyy new members of the fandom!!! I think I’m speaking for most of us when I say that we always welcome new members

Introduction post

Hi. So… I just joined the Sanders Sides fandom, pretty much today, and I just wanted to introduce myself.

I’m Abi, I love to write but can’t write fanfiction, relate to Virgil more than people who meet me would think, and WILL sit on anything that isn’t a chair. I’m pretty much a designated therapist for my friends and like to help people, and I’m good at problem solving but can’t deal with emotions.

I am so fucking anxious rn

um ouch lol

HC (in the “the sides are filming the series and playing parts for dramatic effect but are actually all friends” verse): 

Patton gets giggle fits during filming more than any other side, and the others make a game out of getting him started. 

Logan is the best at it, with his absolute dry sense of humor and wit: 

Deceit is probably the second best at getting Patton into a giggle fit. Apparently Patton finds dry/sassy humor to be very amusing (probably because it’s different than his own bubblier brand of humor). All Deceit has to do is pop up and make some snarky comment and he can get Patton going. They’ve had to ban him from shoots before because he won’t stop getting Patton to laugh. 

Roman and Remus (the goofball twins) just make him laugh with physical humor. With Roman it’s usually dramatic but silly stuff: 

but with Remus it’s usually just absurd slapstick style humor (popping up with a chicken on his head and pretending it’s not there, doing a nonsense dance for no reason, taking prat falls, just utter 3 stooges style nonsense)

Virgil is a little different. He may not have the dry sense of humor of Logan and Deceit, or the goofy physical humor of the twins, but all Virgil has to do is make one simple pun, and Patton is pretty much on cloud 9. It can be the most deadpan thing ever, but it makes Patton’s day. 

So yeah anyway the “Sides as actors filming the series they helped write” is my favorite HC and I will die on that hill, and this is one of my favorite HCs within that HC. Patton is a giggle monster and when he’s gone he’s gone. 

Daredevil is just marvel’s Batman

Me, putting a newly washed plate w/all the other dry plates:

So I was bored and just listed all the types of gay I am like:

Art gay

Musical theater gay

A loud, obnoxious gay

A rainbow gay

And then I thought

‘I’m a fucking Roman gay’

So to anyone who is another Roman gay, ily
