happy pride month <3

[merelsuniverse]

does anyone else feel kind of honoured when insects sit on them? like you're so tiny and vulnerable compared to me, and you have no reason to trust humans, yet you decided to rest on my leg or crawl over my hand in your journey. thank you little one for making me part of nature, even for just a moment.

it's so important to me that heartstopper doesn't shy away from difficult topics, but always approaches them in a very optimistic way. it manages to be hopeful while remaining realistic.

it doesn't exploit any of the characters' trauma, instead focusing on healing and community, and that's what we need more of in the world.

it's gonna be difficult to say goodbye 🥲🍂

Webtoon just removed today's update due to a "high level of profanity" ...

certainly interesting that it has the same amount of swearing as heartstopper usually has... but also it's the update where the characters protest for trans rights!

[chronicintrovert]

Re-uploaded with the profanity (temporarily, I hope) censored - I think this has been triggered because I'm part of Webtoon's 'Ad Sharing Program' (the policies of which ban swearing) and because the 'F*CK HOMOPHOBIA' panel was in much bolder, clearer lettering than the dialogue text (so it was detected by the AI or whatever - still insane considering it's already censored with an asterisk??????)

I'm going to try and find out if I can get out of the ad program and if that will free me from the fucking insane censorship they clearly have going on there! I am obviously extremely sceptical due to the fact that this happened for the first time on an update that featured the characters protesting for trans rights, but I'm going to try to establish the facts first of all.

I hate censorship and have no intention of continuing to censor anything in Heartstopper - if we were much earlier in the comic, I would just take the comic off the site. But the fact is that most people read Heartstopper on Webtoon - far more than on Tumblr and Tapas - and we are 2 months away from the end of the comic.

I'll be contacting Webtoon, trying to figure out what happened, and trying to ensure this doesn't happen again. But if I fail (because I can't break through their probably AI-run support team), I'm really sorry if I have to take the fucking swear words out on Webtoon 🙄

So I have some news...

We are making a feature film to conclude the Heartstopper screen adaptation, based on Heartstopper Volume 6 and the ‘Nick and Charlie’ novella. We are getting to tell the end of the story!!! I’m deeply relieved and so excited about this new creative venture. I’ve written the script and we’re hard at work already. I know you’ll have a lot of questions, and I’ll be able to talk about it more very soon, but for now let’s CELEBRATE! Heartstopper is getting its ending!!!!!! 🍂

It's my 12 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

was good 4 u actually playing while filming that scene during charlie's birthday? every time i watch it i feel like the cast is dancing and singing along to the song

It was, actually! As far as I can remember - I think me, Patrick, and Andy had a chat about which song they should all be dancing to and one of us suggested an Olivia Rodrigo song, and then a cast member (I'm not sure who!) requested 'good 4 u'. So they were actually all dancing to that while we shot that moment, which doesn't usually happen (usually we have a stand-in bit of music on set and then we pick the actual song much later during the edit).
