IMPORTANT ADD-ON TO MY PREVIOUS CHRISTIAN BORLE APPRECIATION POST:

lowkey might make another blog just dedicated to my gay yearnings. debating on a name for it, but i don’t think the lovesick rambles fit my theme for this blog. thoughts?
yearning blog?
yes you big queerdo
nah they’re chill here
You know, I'm somewhat of a literary analyst myself
So when trans people take chemicals that radically change their body in order to live happier and freer lives it’s fine. but when I, Henry Jekyll—

Take some Solitaire and Heartstopper summaries to see if you wanna read!
Patience Kills…
If you cannot tell from my profile pic, I love Tori Spring and her entire book Solitaire. Alice Oseman does a great job creating such an inciting mystery and… romance? Come with Tori Spring to navigate the complex maze of high school friends, bullshit societal standards, new guys from Truham, sibling bonding, nerdy references, and websites that seem to… know her. Wanna play Solitaire?
(for those wondering, Tori Spring is asexual)
I wanna believe in romance!~
Both Heartstopper the comic and Heartstopper the show are full of diversity and cover different queer experiences in high school. Topics include…
• Discovering/Exploring sexuality
• Toxic relationships
• Bullying
• Homophobia/Transphobia
• Coming out
• Mental health
- !SPOILERS! Eating disorders and how to
help someone you care about with them
- Asking for help
- Stress management
• Communication with relationships & with family
• Creating and maintaining close friendships
Both the books and the show are great, but I’d fully recommend reading it first and then watching. Go into watching it with the mindset that they change a few things but stay true to the story - Oseman worked very closely with the directors.
PLEASE support her by BUYING the books, but if you want a preview so you know if you’ll like it, you can find it on webtoon!
didn’t mean to add this. read alice oseman’s books!!!
YES!!!
maybe soon 🤷♀️
my two wolves in me are michael yapping to the others about the cat he got from a thrift store and tori dragging him up the stairs
chivalrous femme! but i kinda suck at it...
like, the time when i went to get you a drink but forgot what you asked for like three times..
or when i pulled out the chair for you, but i moved it too far and you had to awkwardly scooch it back towards the table..
who can forget when i dropped the flowers i got you in a puddle..
and every time that i couldn't reach something you needed off a shelf..
also all those times i pulled on a push door and vise versa..
and when i was rushing to get out of the car so i can open the door for you, but i slipped and you had to carry me inside..
But! I won't stop trying!!
feel free to add to this in tags & stuff <3
this is a lesbian blog! 🩷 minors and men dni!
when the temptation to call my closeted trans gf my pretty girl in public rears its head, it scrambles around my mouth like a mouse trying to escape hot coals but i’ll just look at her like 😊
maybe one day, but for now strangers on tumblr will do 😩
“you actually made me feel pretty for a bit, so thank you”
lover, i would gladly pull down the night sky and drape it across your shoulders like a fur scarf if it meant that you’d finally see how it only reflects the deep beauty of your eyes
Heartstopper S3: The Best ED Rep I’ve Seen
I have had both anorexia and bulimia over the past 4 years and I began reading Heartstopper around the time S1 was going to come out. I remember reading the entire thing up to that point in one night and bawling my eyes out.
I tend to prefer books to their movie renditions, so I wasn’t expecting the show to impact me as much as the book. S2 immediately proved me wrong. I already made a post about S2, so I won’t be ranting about it here, but god I knew that S3 was gonna hurt then and there.
S3 had me sobbing. The attention to detail that Oseman and the whole team brought in made Charlie Spring my favorite character to represent ED. It doesn’t just show it as starving yourself or counting calories; it shows the tiredness, the unjustified anger at eating in public, the unspeakable fear of trying to get help, the helplessness. It doesn’t show all EDs as just a teenage girl who is self-conscious and feels a societal pressure to be skinnier (not that that isn’t valid); it acknowledges other causes such as comorbidity (the presence of two medical conditions at the same time. these can be related, like how Charlie’s OCD gives him obsessions and compulsions surrounding food). And, most importantly, it DOES NOT romanticize it or show an excess of scenes surrounding it. The show doesn’t become “Let’s put as many scenes of the guy struggling with eating as possible!” and becomes MUCH more steered towards “Let’s have the people in this character’s life show concern and care towards him to show that he is not a burden!” It showed METHODS! To help RECOVERY! It validated the valleys along the road to improvement! I don’t think they could’ve done a better job than what they did.
I truly hope that Charlie Spring inspired other people with eating disorders to get help, to try, or to at least acknowledge that they have a problem. You are loved. You are valid. We want you here <3
Tao and Elle: 3... 2... 1... HAPPY NEW YEAR! *start kissing*
Charlie: guys it's not even midnight yet can you stop making out everytime the microwave goes off
I need y'all to understand how fucking important it is that their lovemaking song was La Vie En Rose.
Those translated covers you hear on TikTok take their lyrics from a Louis Armstrong cover of the original French version sung by Edith Piaf. The English lyrics are beautiful but there are some things lost in translation, which is why I love that they had Izzy sing the original French version while Stede and Ed are making love.
Edith Piaf's version of the song is all about the intensity of love and finding love after a trying time. Her vocals are incredible and bleed all the different emotions she feels while singing. Izzy starts with the English translation of the song, which goes:
But a closer translation to the original French would be:
"Quand il me prend dans ses bras; When he takes me into his arms/ Il me parle l'a tout bas; He holds me so softly/ Je vois la vie en rose; And I see life through rose-colored glasses."
Obviously this is fine and dandy, but it's the translation of the original French lyrics used later in the episode that really get me. Izzy sings this:
Which translates to this:
"He speaks words of love to me/ They are every day words/ And they do something to me.
"He has entered into my heart/ A bit of happiness/ That I know the cause of.
"It's only him for me/ And me for him, for life/ He told me, he swore to me, for life."
It's that last verse that the English version just wouldn't be able to capture. The translated version of that verse is about angels and love songs and mentions nothing of a vow to love one another for life.
That's what's so special to me about the French version of the song being used in that moment. Edith Piaf sings as a person who has lived through so much pain and suffering (which she definitely did as a French woman living through World War II) and finally finds comfort and peace in the arms of her beloved.
That is ultimately what Ed and Stede are for one another. Safe harbors, calm waters, peaceful days and nights in each other's presence. They bicker and argue and hurt one another, but they always come back together so easily. Stede was hurt and needed reassurance, needed to prove to himself that he wasn't a whim, needed to feel the security of Ed in his arms. And perhaps they shouldn't have gone all the way that night, but they're both impulsive and obsessed with each other and they needed something.
It's that song that lets me know they're gonna be okay. They're intense and impulsive but they compliment each other. They fit together perfectly, and they find comfort in one another no matter what's happened to them in the past. They need their harbors, their anchors, each other. They'd never leave each other behind. They make each other's lives la vie en rose.

this outfit is gonna have ed on his knees fuckin trust me bro
