Reacting to Heartstopper Season 3 - Episode 3
Added 2024-10-12 05:00:05 +0000 UTCGooooood morning beautiful people,
We are back together with another episode of Heartstopper season 3 AKA a chance to CRY!
This season has been absolutely DESTROYING my emotions thus far and I don't think that is going to stop any time soon.
Get those tears ready folks... we're going to need them!
See you in the comments,
Love, always ♥️

2024-10-18 22:43:04 +0000 UTCoohh yes that little James and Isaac convo, I love it, reminded me of a conversation I had with my sister and her boyfriend a while ago, I was talking about not really seeing the appeal of dating, he responded "that is very aromantic" and I was like "Yes, that is what I have been figuring out lately", like I felt soo seen. I already came out as ace to them and even then, he knew what it meant (because of Jack horseman)! He just the greatest ally ever!!

2024-10-14 12:57:10 +0000 UTCi don’t know if this has been mentioned or not but an added layer to isaac’s coming out is in that it was done in front of the jellyfish (who reproduce asexually)

2024-10-13 14:12:20 +0000 UTCBeautiful reaction … I’ve been watching Heartstopper with my 12 year old and we’ve always had very open conversations. I remember her being 10 and her saying that she didn’t know why she had a journal that she started using whenever she was upset, when she would end up telling me what was in it anyway. I told her that it was OK for her to have her own private thoughts. You don’t need to share everything with me BUT that if anyone was hurting her, she realized she was hurting or was hurting someone OR she was hurting or thinking of hurting herself, those thoughts and things were really important to share with me. Watching this season has been really amazing to watch with her. We’ve only made it to episode 4 (I’ve already watched the whole season) and during episodes 1 and 2 she kept turning to me and saying “Charlie needs to talk to his parents” and even before aunt Diane said it, she turned to me and said “Charlie needs someone other than Nick” I’ve always said I wanted to have conversations with my girls that I wish my parents had with me and I clearly have done a good job of it ☺️ but for those that were like me, I’m so glad they have this show! Like you, so many things would have been different if I’d had Heartstopper when I was younger.

2024-10-13 13:46:46 +0000 UTCSuch an amazing episode and season. To your point Jackie, I do also wish that the show would put a more focus on validating that its perfectly OK to be single, but I'd like to see it go even a step further. It's so amazing to see Isaac's journey and i don't want to invalidate the aro/ace story, because it absolutely needs to be seen, but it feels like they're implying that the default is that everyone would want to be in a relationship, unless they don't have those feelings because they are aro/ace. What I'd like to see is the message that its OK to not want to prioritize being in a romantic relationship, full stop - whether you experience sexual and romantic feelings or not! It's possible to not prioritize romantic relationships (or just not have luck in finding the right someone), and still live an incredibly fulfilling life, although societal norms would often have us believe otherwise. I've been on that journey over the last few years where I haven't had any interest in dating because I've been focused on finding peace with myself, and fulfillment in platonic friendships, and valuing my independence. I think that's something that many people and teens would really benefit from seeing, especially in a show that is so focused on romantic love. Maybe they will explore something like that more with Imogen in the future? I hope they do. I would happily volunteer to be Isaac's single friend!

2024-10-13 06:27:05 +0000 UTCI’m just gunna say right now, Jackie, I love your ability to be so emotional on camera, it’s a very vulnerable thing to do and takes a lot of trust and for that I thank you. Secondly, having been in Nick’s position in my own partners mental health journey on top of all the love I already have for both of these angelic characters, the last three eps have destroyed me too and trust me when I say that doesn’t happen often. I feel like S2E8 was a prelude to the first four episodes of season three in terms of tone as I definitely agree with you that S2E8 felt a lot more like it had an oppressive and negative undertone under all the happiness. Alice Oseman is a fucking genius and to quote something I saw the other day - from now on, generations of teenagers and members of the LGBTQIA+ community will all grow up in a world where Alice Oseman’s stunning work will exist forever more. I don’t think she knows just how much she has changed the lives of our current and future generations, she deserves an OBE!

2024-10-13 00:22:58 +0000 UTCI feel as I have to answer "same" to all yours comments ❤️ For me Isaak coming out scene is one of the most beautiful and powerful, cause of his consistency and support of all the squad ❤️❤️❤️ But the last song.... Complex by Katie Gregson-MacLeod. Oooh, the lyrics! For me is about this think border between the battle of one's life and giving up. It so hit me... Jackie, you are so genuinly generous sharing all your feelings with us. Thank you so so much 🤗❤️ Ps. Found the list of all HS3 lyrics https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/heartstopper-season-3-soundtrack-songs/

2024-10-12 21:41:39 +0000 UTCJust before Tao apologizes to Isaac in the aquarium there is a sign in the background that says „Fish have Feelings!“ Reading this and moments later Isaac getting his jellyfish drawings made me cry so hard 🪼😭

Wiebke Kempa
2024-10-12 18:04:12 +0000 UTCYeah. I think that's really cool !!
Elisa
2024-10-12 17:48:56 +0000 UTCI have not cried watching other people’s reactions, but man, I think I cried during this as much as I did on my first watch. I will probably come back to comment more, but right now my thoughts are a bit all over and I can’t put them into any sort of coherent form… I will say, as always thank you for this reaction, for sharing your experience with us!

2024-10-12 17:14:02 +0000 UTCI saw that too, their book displays are always about the overarching theme of the season…
Erin
2024-10-12 17:08:25 +0000 UTCI love James in this episode, I like to think that he book he read was loveless, and maybe he can recommend it to issac

2024-10-12 15:28:31 +0000 UTCFor the sandwich thing, people will Anorexia sometimes break up their food because it helps them feel more in control, like they’re eating more than they actually are. Breaking food into smaller pieces can make the portion look bigger, so they feel like they’re eating enough, even though they’re really not. It’s also kind of a ritual or routine they may develop to manage the anxiety or guilt around food. It’s all about trying to have control over their eating habits.

2024-10-12 14:57:55 +0000 UTCThere is certainly a reason that this episode was titled Talk, since communication is so important in multiple ways in this episode. And though this may be an obvious comment, the emotions hit harder when you see, not drawn characters, but flesh and blood people saying these things and going through these emotions. And these actors have so thoroughly and convincingly embodied these characters that we care about them even more than we did when we read the comic the first time.

2024-10-12 14:19:13 +0000 UTCPay close attention to the books James and Isaac are stocking up on the book display. They are all about Mental Health 😊
Elisa
2024-10-12 13:14:27 +0000 UTCI bought 4 new tissue boxes yesterday, you have got to be prepared 😭😭😭😭
Wiebke Kempa
2024-10-12 13:08:35 +0000 UTCI needed to take a mental health walk after episode 4. I know you've already watched it by now but after episode 4 you'll realise that tissue box is far too small for this season.

2024-10-12 10:49:11 +0000 UTCJoe Locke makes it all so real. Remarkable performance.
MIchelle Arbery
2024-10-12 09:44:49 +0000 UTCAbsolutely! Like I'm really proud that Alice had more range to tell the story, especially for this season. Like, we have read this book so many times just like you, I have read and reread Heartstopper over and over again. We really wasn't mentally and physically prepared for this season especially with how all these amazing actors would portray these characters just Joe's performance as Charlie like we saw from how last season from the scene vs the behind the scenes how well Joe could turn on those emotions. It's absolutely shattering but in a way, it's great to see how many of these characters are talking about their issues and everything involving them and especially that ending scene like seeing Tori, like that was one of the many punches to the stomach because seeing how much Tori cares for her brother especially within Solitaire, like all she wants is for her brother to be okay and it's an understanding that she is scared that Charlie's health is going to be a lot and especially because from the books to the screen, you see that genuine concerned, fear and worry. This episode and episode 4 was the most hardest things to watch because all the emotions were pouring so out, and the tears never stopped because everyone really stepped up with this season. And I'm not saying this season didn't hold back because it didn't, but it still made us cry so many times, I'm just glad for once, this is a series that deals with a lot and is willing the peel back those harder layers that we all needed to hear and see to feel a sense of knowing friendships are everything and it's helping with a sense of closure if that makes sense
