Update on the types of links I will be sharing in the future
Added 2024-07-16 16:17:04 +0000 UTCPutting a tl;dr on top if you don't care to read my reasoning: I will no longer post articles and videos about cast members doing completely non-Heartstopper related projects unless I feel like there is good enough reason.
Hi! Now that the new Joe Locke Rolling Stone cover was announced and I read the preview bit of the interview I figured it was time for me to adjust what's relevant to share here. At first I figured that it would be good to share vaguely Heartstopper related things in their own category and Google Doc because sometimes I do find fun things that I just don't specifically have a use for in my project. I also personally have an interest in the actors involved in Heartstopper and what they are up to, but I know there are also Heartstopper fans who are not in the fandoms of the cast members and don't care that much about updates about their lives and careers outside of Heartstopper. Now that the cast members are doing more things that are completely irrelevant to Heartstopper I suddenly have a lot of articles and videos coming out that have nothing to do with what I'm doing here and lately it's felt sillier and sillier to share the links every time. I've been trying to lessen that gradually (like when I just directed you to the general social media links for Kit's Romeo + Juliet project instead of every individual promo video) but I'm not good at gray areas and compromises so I think I'll just narrow the focus to Heartstopper related things again. Joe is doing a big Marvel project that will most likely lead to a lot of other movies and shows etc that are irrelevant to Heartstopper, Kit also has 4 movies coming out (or apparently lost forever, looking at you, "Recipe for love") and I didn't share the Wild Robot or Warfare stuff here really either. I felt like sharing Joe's Jimmy Kimmel interview because he did actually talk about Heartstopper a little bit so in the future I'll keep sharing anything where Heartstopper is mentioned more than just in passing. The Heartstopper mention in the bit of the Rolling Stone article is basically "Joe Locke's acting career was launched by Heartstopper" and "both Joe's roles in Heartstopper and Agatha are gay teens" so it didn't really feel relevant enough to share. I'm not personally against sharing all these things because they're interesting to me, but I feel like I've gotten way off topic here and it might be annoying to my Patrons who just want Heartstopper stuff and nothing else. As you can gather from my videos, I have a habit of wanting to include every single little bit in the projects I do and this is my attempt at not letting it get out of hand. I am always interested if you have feedback or requests about what type of stuff you would like me to share here!
If you still want to see everything Joe and Kit are doing in particular, I highly recommend following @dailyjlocke and @kconnorupdate on Twitter/X. These accounts are run by the same group of people and they are very diligent, respectful and on top of things and have a good reputation with the fandom.

Thank you for the heads up! I'm also personally interested in what the cast are up to outside of Heartstopper, but I have other ways of keeping up with that. Adding this to your already substantial workload could get out of hand pretty fast. Thank you for everything you're doing!
