Hey y’all! Just a heads up, if you follow this page with a url like first name last name numbers, have no profile pic, and/or no bio I am going to assume you’re a porn bot and block you. This is nothing against you I’ve just had a massive increase in bot followers and I’m doing my best to prevent that

i can no longer tolerate the fallibility of language. let's all punch each other in the head

[omgcpausandstuff]

Please imagine a 17 year old Jack Zimmermann shoveling down his second helping of dinner while his billet family's 15 year old explains Neon Genesis Evangelion at him.

He's more focused on messaging Kent after dinner, and completely forgets about it after having a weird dream where the two of them argue over which of them is going to pilot a giant robot version of himself.

HEATED RIVALRY / CHECK, PLEASE!

[manogirl]

My headcanon is that there are two major hockey leagues in North America and Jack and Bitty are kissing on the ice right around the same time Scott and Kip are kissing on the ice and suddenly hockey is exponentially gayer than it was a week ago.

"Check Please show when" memes and general bias towards that work aside, I do think two things can be true:

It's fun that Heated Rivalry got an adaptation, and it makes sense considering Jacob Tierney's prior experience making a hockey show. Heartstopper definitely deserved an adaptation, and it's worth celebrating how both Oseman and the actors' trajectories have skyrocketed (Oseman especially deserves to overthrow another English author).

At the same time, it's hard to miss that Check Please! arrived on the scene, and was even talked about in national publications, before both of those. It arguably helped to set the stage. Not to mention creating a poll powerful enough to be used (without attributation) by a random British show. Yet there aren't even rumblings about an adaptation, despite the fact that the way Ngozi structured the layout already is akin to a storyboard.

I'm hesitant to be conspiracy brained, and again all three authors deserve success... but it's hard to miss that the one who hasn't got an adaptation is a WoC.
