my least favorite moments:

WUUVY NOT DELIVERING THE GOD DAMN LETTER

the goblin court. thats it just the goblin court.

I just wanna talk about the beauty of Binx and Andheras relationship.

When Binx had the glamour of Gwyn she was gifted half of a shell from Andhera. Unintentionally he gave them a thing that holds beauty but isn't complete due to part of it missing. This is stupidly symbolic of Binx and their court.

Then theres the moment in the maze. How Andhera sees Binx, realizes that shes Gwyn by her eyes. They see her for who she truly is and accepts her entirely. I'm not gonna lie I was on the floor with emotions because of this simple moment.

Then one of the moments that made everyone scream, the crystal heart. We know from the great hart hunt that Andhera feels most comfortable in the darkness and we later learn how truly awful his court treated him. He could use the crystal heart to finally get the respect he deserves but instead they find Binx and place it in their hand. And she in turn mirrors that moment in the maze of recognition even though they can't see who it is, for she knows this is Andhera by his scent alone just as they knew it was Binx by her eyes alone. I'm just gonna stop before I go on forever about this but it was such a beautiful moment.

THE LETTERS! We as an audience are very much aware of the fact Andhera is absolute shit with words but their able to shape the words so elegantly for Binx, the letter comes from the heart for him and it's evident in how wonderful the letter ends up being. Binx leaves a simple note but sometimes the shortest phrases have the most impact. They see each other and they let the other know that.

I could go on and on about the moment in Binxs quarters but I won't. (this is in fact a lie I absolutely am) Andhera trusts them enough to ask them to make him the outfit for the ball. The vulnerability and trust that Andhera shows and gives Binx without a second thought when showing them the shard. How Binx basically spits out her disgust for what the unseelie court did to Andhera. How Andhera is a oath of devotion paladin and he swears an oath to Binxs cause. The knighting of Andhera by Binx, someone who is not of his court but is more deserving of his devotion than his court.

The apple moment lives in my head rent free as well. Andhera has never truly known what it is to have a loving family and in that moment of sharing a memory he was able to experience it for probably the first time in their life. His life has been changed forever because of Binx, she lit the kindling for his happiness. For the happiness he experienced were mere sparks but this moment caused a fire.

I love them and their relationship means so much to me. Till next time thats all. :))

Unhinged conspiracy theory time!

Hear me out! Just give me a second, ok? Listen, listen!

The Magnus Archives were what happened when Jonah Magnus got clever and figured out how to end the world. What if he got caught? What if this is a universe where someone figured out/outed his body hopping bullshit?

That would explain the giant empty room where the archives should be that have nothing in them. If the, lets say government for shorthand, confiscated it all that would explain the lack of wood pulp noted by RedCanary.

It would also explain why there's a government agency tracking the formation of avatars. Every statement so far aside from that One involves the giver becoming an avatar, or at least encountering one and being compelled rather than afraid.

My theory:

The Magnus Protocol is tracking avatar formation for clues on if anyone else is figuring it out. But curiosity is a compulsion in and of itself. Freddie (yes I know that's not the spelling I'm on my phone and not looking things up) started manifesting voices about the time Jon, Martin, and Jonah died in the panopticon. So here they are. Three fully formed avatars reading out true statements. Much like how real ones refused to record in the old universe. Now they are read out by Chester, Norris, and Augustus. Chester trying to warn them, desperately, still caught up in preventing the apocalypse he feels guilty for. And inadvertently creating Curiosity. We have Norris, trying to warn them about what happens if you get caught up in it, how easy it is to just give in. How you lose yourself to the surrounding universe.

And then there's Augustus. The only one who sounds *human* in the computer. Whose voice quality doesn't change the more sucked in you get. The only one who has body hopping experience. The only one who also died in the panopticon at the end of the world, Mag 200 has no reference to his corpse being found in the rubble. And he's here to fuck shit up. Again. Because his soul is committing tax fraud *constantly*.

Lena says Gwen doesn't have what it takes to climb *this* particular ladder. Because they just ruthlessly eliminate anyone who Might be either Magnus or catching on to his realization. If Augustus can convince Gwen that Lena is Bad then he can twist her into eliminating the most immediate threat to him.

Do I know how everyone else fits in? Nope! I'm willing to believe, having met Scotsmen and IT people, that Colin is just Like That. Alice is a trans tumblrina trashposter who must be protected at all costs. Sam? I'm sorry love you're the main character and therefore doomed by the narrative.

Anyway that’s why you wear wool and a life jacket babeeeyyyy

currently my brain is going:

so you need to catch up on critical role campaign 3 bc u aren't even in the double digits

vs

ooo fantasy high sophomore year make brain go brrrrr

vs

okay but like you never finished LA by night soooo

thats all, enjoy my struggle

im walking now talk more i wanna hear ur thoughts

imogen remaining the token “ally” in her wider circle of friends because she’s unconsciously gravitating to fellow queer people as she untangles her own sexuality… walk with me

There are so many moments in Heartstopper that are relatable, but nothing has hit me in the gut more than the moment where everyone is picking their roommates for the Paris trip and Imogen just stands there as a still point in the chaos, looking around even though she knows she's not going to spot anyone who wants her
