- Hey beautiful people,
Welcome back to another video and to the final episode of Heartstopper Season 2 😭
It's safe to say... this episode/season got me GOOD. I couldn't adore this show any more if I tried. I have been so moved by the performances and topics that have been handled this season... it's safe to say we are in for a whirlwind during season 3!

The scene where everyone leaves after the mini prom and Nickand Charlie close the front door, its as if they're already married and this is their home and their friends just left after a dinner party. So warm and wholesome.😊
YES it's like a glimpse into the future
Yes, they totally remind me of some old gay couples I know. I really love it. Generally Nick is an old man in a young body, always making random noises. This show is perfection.
I couldn't agree more and there are so many more of those moments with them just giving off old married gay couple and i just love it 🥰😍😘❤😻
I thought the same thing!
old married couple
When Isaac sees the art piece and when he picked up the book and held it against his chest, he got leaves!!! I think this is the sign that Isaac now understands, loves, and embraces himself and his sexuality...that it is something on his terms and he doesnt have to compare himself, his feelings, and his sexuality with anyone else's. Loving himself is his equivilent to the others' romantic relationships and is valid in his happiness.
This is such a beautiful summary and I love, love, love it
@@JackieRossLavender thank you so much! I love you and your videos so much and it means a lot to me that you read, appreciated, and responded to my comment. You are so special and we appreciate you for your talent and rare ability to express your feelings in such a raw, yet erudite manner. ❤️❤️❤️
@@BrownsBacker he finally has the words to describe his feelings
One of my favorite parts of the art piece scene is that Isaac's "Heartstopper moment" is a glow of yellow going into his throat, like when Ariel gets her voice back in The Little Mermaid. It's such a cool way to symbolize him finding the words to describe how he feels.
Nick's tears broke me. It's devastating to find out that someone you love is self harming. Whether it's a partner, a friend or, in my case, a child. You feel utterly helpless. All you want to do is take that pain away, carry it yourself. That last scene was heartbreakingly beautiful, and while both actors were amazing, Kit's performance was off the charts. Absolutely off the charts.
You are such an understanding and caring parent. I wish my mother had this reaction when she found out I was harming myself. I think it would’ve changed a lot for me💕
@@needstherapy649 I've had my own MH issues in the past, so I guess that gives me a different perspective. I hope you got/are getting the help you need and are feeling better in and about yourself now. X
Yes it was phenomenal
They snuck a really sweet detail into the scene at Nick’s house where they have, as you say, “their own little prom.” Nick being the host and hugging EVERYONE on their way out the door as they leave feels like an important step for him. He’s spent so much of the series figuring out how to be comfortable in his own skin. And in the process, he’s found “his people”. This community talks so much about “found family” I think it’s wonderful they show that he’s sort of recognized that he’s found his ❤️
Kit and Joe are such outstanding talents! It’s hard to believe they are teens. These two young people are once in a generation talent. Everything about this series is beyond the best I have ever seen, from writing To music to acting to overall production. Bravo.
Agreed 110%. It’s like they took all the lovable things about the first season and multiplied it for us. The acting deserves special mention though. The way all of these actors improved(they were great to begin with) in such a short amount of time is really amazing to watch
I totally agree the way Kit can make you feel what Nick is going through without saying a word just by he's body language is pure talent, Joe is an amazing actor also and their chemistry is insane, the rest of the cast are equally amazing for such young actors who are just starting. I hope the industry is kind to them, and doesn't take away who they are as its happened to so many. Kit is going to be in high demand also. Lets support them and I hope they have strong support to keep them from the destructing claws of the industry. I wish them all the best. Hearties forever. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
And the fact that they chose "ur so pretty" by Will Gao's Wasia Project just made the scene even more emotional. I already bawling during Charlie's confession scene, but as the song played out at the end I was gasping for air cuz the tears keep running
It was written for the scene
I see an Oscar in both Kit and Joe’s future…the fact this show was the first role ever for Joe is a credit to the natural talent he was born with…Kit…his facial expressions, cadence of how he carries himself and even in the way he speaks…evokes such a powerful response…they both beautifully blur the lines between reality and fiction so effortlessly that you almost don’t feel like you’re watching a show on Netflix…that you’re just a fly on the wall in their lives…I definitely feel like on a very personal level that Kit’s own sadly forced public outing due to pressure by the so called “fans” really affected his performance in many ways…it helped him tap into what the character overall was really feeling and going through…I look forward to next season, even if I know it’s going to get more emotional…but as I have said before in reference to the show on other comments on other platforms…this story is so important and has to be shared…good or bad…it can’t always be rainbows and sunshine…we have to share the truth of the effects that negative reactions to the lgbtq+ has on them…not everyone has the support and community and even if they do…they still may have an inner struggle we know nothing about just from one person saying something deplorable to them…it only takes one bad comment or interaction to affect someone’s mental health for years to come
My favorite Nick/Charlie kiss, and in this season there were many, was the one Nick gave to Charlie's forehead after Charlie promised to tell him if things ever got bad enough that he thought about self harm. It was the most pure, the most tender, and the most loving. It was as if Nick was cradling Charlie's head in his hands and trying to help sooth and comfort Charlie's cruelly wounded mind with a healing kiss.
Beautifully acted.
Kit Connor is a brilliant actor. Never a false move or expression on his face.
Forehead kisses are sooooo underrated
“A kiss on the lips means ”I love you, I’m crazy about you, I love being with you.” A kiss on the forehead means, “I will protect you forever. I will always be here for you.”
I saw someone in the Facebook heartstopper group posted this. It is really so beautifully written. 😢❤❤
Kit Connor’s performance in the last scene was Oscar worthy
AGREEED
IKR so was Joes tho
Nick & Tao's conversation, how closer and comfortable they've become with each other allows them to share their concern & insecurities. Like Nick expressed his worries about Charlie's struggle with his past trauma, that you can hear from his voice like he almost broke into tears. Then Tao opened up about his fear of losing the people he deeply loves. This scene alone makes me sob everytime, not just because we finally learnt about their fear, but also because how far they've become & grow into each other through these two seasons.
Fun fact that I’m going to point out every single time now because I’m obsessed: when Nick first sees Charlie in his suit, the globe on the left goes from being off to lit up because he’s his whole world 😭🥹
Edit: and for anyone that didn’t know, the singer at the prom is Baby Queen!!! Y’all should go listen to her music because it’s really good! She sings Colors of You, Dover Beach, the iconic song at the start of season 1, and several others in this series!
I feel like "I'm bi, actually" is this season's "hi", or maybe this season's "her dog died". Definitely needs to be on a T-shirt.
21:50 Thank you for pointing out Nick's incredible show of empathy in that final scene. You're the only reactor I recall that has done so. Loved your video.
As someone who is questioning things, even though I'm an older adult, I can absolutely say that the content you are making *IS* making a difference!
I can *so* relate to Charlie, it's not even funny. I'm kind of grateful I haven't read the books - I don't think I'd be prepared for next season, based on people's comments.
Jackie, thank you so much for being on this journey with us - it's been fantastic supporting you and everything you do!
thank you so much, my friend. that truly means the world to me ♥️
Kits acting in that final scene just breaks me into a million pieces every time
The entire production's (cast crew writers directors music team lighting EVERYONE) ability to so thoroughly make me care about all of these characters and invest me in their being is something I dont think I've ever experienced before in my long life. Their stories are a part of my own story now, and I dont think that will ever change. Thank you for taking us on your own journey of making their stories part of your story, too. Your empathy, kindness, and vulnerability is beautiful. The world is a better place for having you in it.
100% agree with your last comments about the show. I truly do not understand the amount of hate this show is getting! This is hands down the best lgbtq+ show I’ve ever seen. The story line is nothing like these other overly sexualized with tragic ending shows/movies out there. Should I read the books? 😭
YES. Absolutely you should!!
I've watched S2 at least a dozen times and watched tons of reactors and that last scene kills me every time. Charlie's storyline is difficult in the books, but there is just something about seeing in play out before our eyes, with Kit and Joe's incredible performances, that just hits ten times harder. Knowing what is coming, and how amazing those two are, I'm both ecstatic to see it and dreading it.
This season has been masterful in emotional whiplash. Charlie passing out is immediately followed by the long awaited kiss between Tao and Elle. The gorgeous home prom with this beautiful friend group goes right into us learning just how deep Charlie's pain is. There's so much to be said about queer representation, but I think what really gets me on an emotional level is the quality of the writing. Life is messy and challenging, even more so if you're queer, and Alice doesn't shy away from that. She shows that friendship and found family is so, so important and that you can do hard things when people love you and support you. I kind of feel bad for people who haven't read the books, because the darker turn this season after the more bubblegum pop of S1 must have been a bit of a shock.
I've really, really enjoyed your reactions and how real and honest you've been. You cried in all the same places I did and I wished I could reach through the screen and warn you that your heart was about to be crushed before the last scene. I look forward to your wrap up and all the future flailing about S3!
Perfect summary of everything!!
I haven’t read the books yet ( they are coming soon!) and I’m not ready for the emotional roller coaster I’m going to be on, I already balled my eyes out watching this show and from what I hear it’s really sad\dark, I know a bit of it from watching reactions from people who read the book but I’m still not ready😭. This show is so amazing and broke me, even tho I’m not queer I can understand and see what queer people have to go through and it breaks my heart to know we in 2023 still have mean people out there who make these people feel like crap and hate themselves is sad and upsetting. I really hope we can move forward and treat queer people as just normal people who has feelings just like straight people do! As the words of Harry styles Treat People With Kindness!!
The power Heartstopper has in healing generations of queer people is so remarkable. It goes to show how much seeing yourself being represented bring about joy and reiterates that we can and deserve to be happy and find happiness in ourselves and from the people we care about
Joe Locke and Kit Connor are two absolutely stunning actors. Brilliant. The way they let us see each emotion. From the quietest and most contained of Charlie to the most expressive of Nick. They are incredible.
Jackie, it’s April 2024 and I’m rewatching once again. It’s such a beautiful, powerful episode. Each time I watch your heartfelt reaction and response at the end I just want to reach through the screen and give you a Huge Hug! Thank You
5:43 I love this scene with Coach Singh trying to peek at Mr. Ajayi's message and him leaning back, "No..."! :)
Meddling gays are tbe best 😂
Did you notice the cute little detail with the globe in the scene when Nick & Charlie are getting ready for prom?
When Charlie asks Nick to close his eyes before entering - the globe is still dark.
After Nick opens his eyes, the globe is lit up - like if it is saying "Charlie lights up Nick's world".
That is sooo adorable and heartwarming.
I just love the attention to detail in the show with the drawn elements, the lighting and especially the colours....
Jackie, I have really, really enjoyed watching you reacting to Heartstopper and being equally obsessed as I am. Your laughter is infectious and I’ve so enjoyed both laughing and crying with you!
I’ve completely lost count how many times I’ve watched Heartstopper over the past month and a half (I only discovered the series when season 2 came out). Every time I finish watching the 2 seasons, I just start again. It’s like I need my daily dose of Heartstopper for my mental health and happiness! And I’m a 46 year old (year young) straight, Norwegian, single mum of 3! It truly is a series for all! Any one that has a heart that is! Thank you Jackie for sharing so much of yourself. You are truly such a genuine, beautiful person!
I so relate to you! Thank you 💜💜💜
I feel Alice packs a lot of representation into this series in a way that is very satisfying for as many story lines as she covers. Eye opening, empathetic. I agree that having her write the script gives HS fans the best parts of the books. Love love love the way she developed this seasons story lines. What a genius! Love you too! Sending you a hug❤
This episode broke me. I felt lost for days. I really hope my kids always feel their/our home is a safe space and if they have friends who don't feel safe at home, they can always come over. And the talk about the bullying.. I wish I had that talk with one of my friends when I was a teen. But in those days we didn't really talk about that kinda stuff. Now I sound like a grondma, but I'm only 31😅
I have binged this whole reaction series and I have to say you have the most contagious personality ever. I have never laughed or cried so much at a reaction video. Thank you for such a raw and personal reaction
The story is superbly written and the acting is over the top! Kit and Joe definitely should get some award for outstanding young actors. They both have the talent to go very far in their acting careers.
Jackie-Ross: you wear your heart on your sleeve, and I'm all here for it. Your own story has not been an easy one and it's gratifying to see the issues and their resolutions in Heartstopper resonate so strongly with you. That a show can move the viewer the way this one does is a credit to the care and skill involved. Alice Oseman ensures the integrity of the story and characters - thank God she's involved! One key factor in favour of this adaptation is that there's plenty of room to expand the brevity of the graphic novel format into a more fleshed-out series with additional details and nuances. With most book adaptations, so much has to be eliminated. Like season 1, this season has gone by in a flash and leaves us breathless for #3. At least it will give you sufficient time to recover!
BTW, I understand it took Kit and Joe 7 hours and many takes to shoot that final scene. Such dedication . . . the result was worth it. Their hugs and tears are next level.
Where did you read this about that scene? Thx for sharing!
.@@laurenisele717 I read about it in a few comment sections in other reaction videos.
Joe mentions in an interview somewhere that they practically had to carry him out at the end of that day
yeah i had the same reaction to that last scene, the best scene in the show to me it's so powerful plus kit and joe's performances are fantastic, award worthy it's crazy how good they are at their age.
i found one of your videos on tiktok about heartstopper and trust me i had almost the same reaction as you, except that i literally had a breakdown cause their love seems so tender, genuine, something that you would like to have in your life and be celebrated. thanks for this.
Heartstopper changed my life. It really hurts to see nick worries in his eyes. I can relate to Charlie in almost everything but also with nick because I am always worried about others and wanting to be there for them. I am so glad the show exists but I am so but so scared for season. I hope that not weird. I love your reaction on the serie because it’s true.
here we go again, another episode of "Jackie makes me cry for 20+ minutes while we watch Heartstopper together" 😭
ya know, my favorite relationship that wasn't romantic in this season was definitely Tao and Nick. I love how they went from Tao basically hating Nick's guts in season 1 to them becoming a person the other could really talk to and confide in. once they both realized that they had Charlie in common as a person they truly cared about, it was just inevitable and I love how seamlessly you can see their acquaintanceship blossom into a true friendship. so wholesome! 🥰 I, like you, am so grateful this show exists. even more than that, tho, I'm so grateful that your videos exist because I know they are helping so so many people around the world. 💓💜💙
Alice has said that all of the volumes can be covered by four seasons of the show, so we literally only need one renewal to know that the entire story will be put to screen. Netflix would literally be insane if they didn’t let the story finish out, but I’m still stressed lol
Meee too let’s get it on the books and lock these kids’ last contracts down before they’re all moving on with their hopefully amazing careers in their mid-20s!
I really hope it gets renewal for a fourth season to finish out this wonderful series! Netflix would be stupid if they didn’t ,seeing how much attention this show has been getting and will get again for S3
Joe and Kit"s performance in the final scenes were just amazing
This show is my safe place. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve rewatched this show. Seen so many reactions and you are the most real and vulnerable. Instantly connected. THANK YOU. Heartstopper for life. 🖤
The way Darcy's mum acted was so appalling like some people shouldn't be parents. If that were me my mum would have been out there looking for me regardless of the situation.
EDIT: From what I understand about your family, Jackie, they don't seem supportive but I'm so glad you exist because you bring so much joy into the world ❤
Having seen this on Patreon already, ya'll are not ready!
that’s exactly what i was thinking as well! 👀
pahahahaa i love you guys ♥️
Jackie, I am already such a fan of yours! Your vulnerability and emotions are both so moving and lovely.
As a gay guy in his forties who is a diehard Heartstopper fan, i'll certainly be joining you on your CZcams journey! I'm sure it'll be quite the journey!
Much love, Dan x
thank you so, so much, Dan! Can’t tell you how much I needed these kind words this week ♥️♥️♥️
Amazing series. Amazing reactions. Alice has impacted millions worldwide. Can't wait for Season 3.!!! Sending you all MUCH LOVE and LIGHT!!!
i think all who are enjoying the show so much can agree, that we want to give you a big group hug in the end. love you
Hugs appreciated ❤️
I couldn’t have asked for a more impactful, well acted, emotional ending that the one we got. I’m also selfishly glad they didn’t say ‘I love you’ in this episode - I’m holding out hope we get the scene from the book! 😂😂❤❤
What the heck are we going to do now Jackie Ross lavender ………
You took us on the journey of HS s1 and 2. Reflections . You opened our lives and our hearts❤ to understand more - love more - accept more
My youngest introduced this series to me
As a parent and an educator I have experienced most of these story lines
And I am full of understanding and love ❤
I hope my youngest finds his nick or Charlie
In withdrawal now 😂
Hi - after watching many Heartstopper reaction videos on CZcams, your videos are the most in-depth reactions that I have ever seen. I love how people can literally take so much from half hour episodes of pure brilliant drama. I loved season two. I am 38, and as an older Heartstopper fan, even in my now more jaded older years, Heartstopper makes me feel young again and makes me even more proud to be who I am. Thank you for your reactions
I’m 51 and feel like I’m in my 20’s again. Just goes to show what Mr Ajayi says its never too late…
@@laurenisele717 well said, am 38 and adore this show. Reminds me of my teen years
I really can’t express how much I appreciate your honest & vulnerable reactions. I still cry such deep tears during the last scene, even though I’ve watched the series through over and over again. Your content makes a difference in my life, whether you see this comment or not. I’m a 40+ yr old person who never had any kind of knowledge or representation in my teens & 20’s. It just wasn’t even a conversation, let alone identity exploration. I didn’t know it was even an option to explore. And my Eating Disorder was just another piece that wasn’t spoken about except to say “wow, you’ve lost so much weight!”
Like so many, I wish this show had been around then, which is why I think it’s such a huge part of my sexual identity journey of discovery and healing. Thank you for being you and sharing yourself with all of us who are so lucky to find you here. 💜🍂
I’ve seen all your comments this morning and so can’t thank you enough for being so lovely. Im so glad you’re enjoying the content. Heartstopper will always mean so much to me. It’s brought me so much. Forever grateful to Alice for writing it. ❤️
Ah, what a beautiful surprise to see this comment - thank you so much! 💜 I genuinely appreciate your kind heart.
Forever grateful to Alice as well 🍂😭💜
I cried watching the last scene but watching you cry just broke me. I just want to give you a big hug right now ❤
I'm not sure if I hear it right but I'm SURE when nick picks charlie up after seeing him in his suit he says 'My Char' 🥺❤️
Thank you Jackie for the breakdown of this episode and every other episode you break it down so beautifully everytime and seeing how you connect with the show is just wonderful! I cannot stop watching the show it's such a beautiful representation of queer love but also tackling the hardships through it too showing it can be beautiful and supportive but just because you come out everything then isn't instantly okay there's other things to tackle and navigate and I wish I had nothing more than a beautiful friendship group thats so accepting like their group when I was at school and I think that's why I watch it constantly because it makes me smile laugh and cry all in one and it's just so beautifully pieced together and the cast are just so incredible and the way they connect with the character they play is just absolutely astounding.
Your reaction videos have slowly become a firm favourite also (I can't tell you how many times I've watched them🙈) thank you for sharing your reactions and thoughts behind each show you're incredible I'm already excited to see you react to season 3😍🍂🤍
I too remain stunned and constantly thankful this show exists. It is magic and knocking it out of the park in every way I can think of. It is this warm bright light in the universe beaming out kindness on a level I don't receive from any other program ever.
You are not alone in feeling that at all.
Thank you for all you do here and everything you share, you brave soul.
My best to you.
I haven’t been subscribed to you for long but definitely am glad I found you. I’ve loved your reactions to this season. Don’t worry about being in tears, I had tears in my eyes watching both the actual episode and your reaction. Kit and Joe did such an amazing job in that last scene, even just the facial expressions. It kills me when Nick hugs Charlie and his face just crumples with tears. I’ve been a fan of Kit since he was a little kid actor and still think this is his best work ever.👏😭
20:28 Exact same reaction as you at this moment, brother. This series hits way, way too close to home. 😭😭
The first time I watched the final scene I was a mess just like you and now that I'm watching it for maybe the 25th time (not even jk) I just enjoy every second of it, the acting, the pauses, the sights, the music everything is just perfection just like this whole season. Can't wait for season 3, thanks for your reactions ❤️
I’ve cried thru every episode and then cried thru your reactions, and I’m so glad I didn’t have a camera trained on me. Thanks for taking one for the team. I loved season one so much I was afraid to watch season two because I was afraid I’d be disappointed, but like you said, season two is even better. Thanks again, not sure how I’m gonna get thru a year of waiting for season three.
I would like to apologise to other youtubers who reacted to the 2nd season of Heartstopper, some of your reactions did make cry & I loved it, but you are no Jackie Ross Lavender. This man holds the show in a very special place in his heart, just like I do. I never cried this much watching someone reacting to a beautiful show
I want to say thank you for reacting to this season of Heartstopper, showing your love the book/show, and most of all, showing us more of you. You really showed emotions and letting us in to see you. Can't wait to see your reactions to season 3. Well done. Thank you ❤❤❤
Yours tears are the tears of all we loves this amazing lovestory. Thanks a lot for your sensibility and honesty
Darcy's mom pisses me off so much. For all the reasons, but she also is obviously lying to Tara when she says, "Sorry, we don't take cold calls." Because WHO'S first thought when a teenager shows up at your door in formal wear is "Oh, you must be here to sell something." She just didn't want to deal.
Jackie, thank you so much for allowing us to join you on this journey. I normally stay away from reaction videos but I came across yours and I was smitten with your heart, so I HAD to binge both seasons. I felt embarrassed for how much I love Alice’s work as a 40 yr old, but you validated my own reactions and made me feel ok to embrace the missing piece of my own youth. Darcy and I shared similar stories ( not just our names) and today I asked my daughter if she felt that I supported her when she came out because I had been thinking about your S1E8 video and hoped she felt the love neither of us were shown during that time. Again thank you for opening your heart to us. Now I’ve got to add some of the other series you react to to my watchlist.
Thank you for sharing your reaction with us. This episode is such an emotional roller coaster. I can't help but just cry every time I see that conversation between Charlie and Nick. So much of what Charlie says really hits home for me so hard having grown up in a very religious family I understand those feelings so much. The empathy you have toward all that he went through is so touching.
The tears are bcause it hurts too much for all of us watching Them struggle an love and hurt!!!!!
Dude, I love how you and Courtney have reacted to Heartstopper. Two of the best reactions.. thank you soo much!!! Did you see that when Nick opened his eyes to Charlie the Globe lit up!! Like Charlie Lit up Nick!!!! Really enjoyed watching Season 2 with you and your reactions. Looking forward to Season 3 and hopefully season 4!!!
What a brilliant series 2 is.
Loved every minute of it.
Your breakdown of the series has been absolutely brilliant.
I have been out for 40 years and wish something like this had been around in my teenage years.
Well done to you, and I mean that, another exquisite life portrayal to listen to and to watch.
Look forward to watching more.
Take care.
this season was so powerful and so emotional i cryed in nearly every episodes its was so beautiful to watch and the cast and the writers and everyone who was in this and music its was perfect and u can feel the connection and feel there pain as well its perfect and i love it u can see how much he love char and care for him and i love it and i do agree with u nick is boyfriend that char need in his life that will stand up for him and just be there for him its was so beautiful to see this and kit and joe who played {nick & char} need to get warded for this its so beautiful scene .
I will NEVER be able to listen to ur so pretty again after watching this. I just absolutely sob like a baby
It’s exactly how I feel about “Why Am I Like This”
You are wonderful human being. Thank you so much for your Heartstopper reactions. They were great ❤️🩷
I'm sure the moment you find the true love in your life it'll be the beginning of healing scars that still hurts deep inside and the blessing of happiness will finally burst in your heart
Yep! This episode broke me and the cliffhanger is shattering.
Thanks for the heartstopper reaction videos, I really loved watching it ❤❤
in the scene with nick and charlie about leaving for prom the globe light is off when nick's eyes are closed then when he opens his eyes the globe light went on and that's just to show how much love nick has for charlie and how much charlie lights up nicks world its just adorable
I've appreciated these videos so much, Jackie! Watching this show on my own currently, and it's lovely to get to watch someone experience the same feelings and love it as much as I do.
I was watching heartstopper's things again and i found u. U make me laugh because i still crying with the serie. I think lgbtiq+ people over 25 years have a different feelings because we know that this is the history of love that we can't live in the realitiy and that's why we cry so much when we see it. (Hope understand my English, love u from Argentina)
First of all, thank you for your amazing content.
Did you also notice the paralel between Harry arriving at the prom, and the bullying scene in season 1?.
Harry comments how Nick broughtva biyfriend to the prom, and none of them brought girls. In this scene though, it was just a matter of fact comment, lacking and of the vitriol from the bullying scene. Then, as opposed to in the cinema, the rugby lads come to Nick, rather than being behind Harry. I think this is a great way to show the shift in attitude from the whole Rugby team.
I watched this season in one sitting and the last 3 episodes hit so hard one after the other and that last scene in particular was so emotional to me that I just stared at a wall crying for an hour after, which is incredible to me because I've read the comics and the books, and it still hits. Suffice to say I'm terrified for how emotional season 3 is going to be, but! Thanks for being so vulnerable and honest with your reactions, with this show I think its so cool to see how it affects others too.
Season 2 has been such a fun journey, thanks for the reactions JR!
this isn’t the end ♥️ a lot more heartstopper content coming very soon!
I love your reaction to heart stopper season two finale. I have to be honest this is the best season ever now. This episode was very emotional. I just love this show.🥰🏳️🌈
First off, another brilliant and very heartfelt reaction; that last scene has had the same effect on myself and every reactor I've watched, total silence. It's, as you said, just too powerful to interrupt or pause, the emotion being as raw as it is in that scene.
Secondly, to your point about people saying the show isn't good or not representative. I am, as one might say, an Elder Gay having come out at 12 in 1975 (imagine if you will what that was like) and I had a similar interaction with someone who was 22 yo. He went on about how it doesn't do enough and so on and then asked what I thought of it. So I told him that such a show was not even a concept when I was 22 and that it was an immense pleasure to see Queer stories being told that didn't involve violence, AIDS, death or any of the other ugly scenarios our stories usually involved. He responded "it's still not enough". I was floored and then had to remind him that my generation, the one that did a lot of the heavy lifting for queer rights in the 70's 80's and onward, fought for the rights and dignity of ALL queer people, not just the flavour of the month or those who decide what or who is in vogue. Of course he didn't understand, so I dumbed it down for him and simply said "Gatekeeping is not something you or anyone else has the right to do where our stories, representation and/or portrayal are concerned." Suffice to say he finally clued in.
Apologies for the rant, but Gatekeeping is something I just can't abide.
Aww puppy, you must have had such a hard time . I’m so sorry. Big hug🥹😘
I have to say, I had a very similar reaction. That last scene had me such a sappy, weepy mess. It is just so raw, I am almost 60 and don't think I have ever been more touched by a performance. From the directing, lighting, camera angles...and these two incredibly talented young men, this has Emmy written all over it.
Omg you made me cry!
Heartstopper --Love it, can't get enough of it. Agreed on all counts.
Love all of your assessments on why this show is so important. I believe portrayal of innocence is frowned upon, and thats such a shame. It reminds me of this clip of Mr Rogers speaking at a hearing of some sort on children's programming/funding and how his speech moved a particular senator. He touched how you can show conflict to youth in a non violent way and so much more that is so beautiful to me. He was such a champion of love and learning and community. Makes me cry to this day whenever I see it!
Also! This is the second show I've watched with ace representation, with Sex Education being the first! The particular character who was ace wasn't a main ensemble member but it was such a beautiful scene in season 2 that made my little ace heart squeal!. Highly recommend the show for so many queer storylines as well if you have not seen it yet!
I‘ve come across your TikToks and now slowly made my way through your reactions S2 and am just so so so glad I found you!! I really enjoy your videos and can relate so much to a lot you‘ve talked about, especially you wanting to engage more to help the community. As someone who the show has helped come to terms with so many things I‘ve been trying to channel these thoughts into action lately too. You are building such a great community already!!
love ur reactions....u can really feel ur passion and compassion...thx for that ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Awww, Jackie!! Sending lots of hugs your way!
Hello Jackie, I have been watching your reactions for a time, and I have loved them. But, after seeing this reaction I subscribed to your channel.
Dear friend, I have cried with you in this reaction, since it has made me experience many feelings, some of which I have experienced both for better and for worse.
But at the end of the reaction, when Charlie tells Nick that because of the bullying he has suffered several times he has hurt himself by cutting himself, he has destroyed me; and that has been intensified by watching the moment when Nick hugs Charlie and starts crying as he hugs him. At that moment you realize that Nick suffers when discovering that Charlie has experienced and suffered alone; and I could not stop crying when I see Nick have his tears run down his cheek. God, that was a blow, because you realize that Nick's character not only empathizes, but you see that he hurts deeply because he really loves Charlie.
I loved your reaction and I will continue to watch your channel from now on. I send you a huge hug from Buenos Aires - Argentina.
One commentor noted the very end of the last scene. After Nick closes the door when Charlie leaves, he has a look of terror on his face.
Perhaps he is overwhelmed by what Charlie has told him. Could he see Charlie's major mental health issues and what they could mean? After all, Nick is just a 16 yo kid.
i just finished watching your reaction. this was a rewatch of season 2 for the at least 20th time and it felt like watching it through a new lense all over again. i am so grateful to you for sharing all these raw emotions that come with the show and its so beautiful to feel your love for Alices work. as i said: this definitely wasnt my first rewatch, however i was crying along to you again. there is so much sincerity in your reactions. again: im simply grateful. especially your words regarding some of the topics that the show touches. especially meaningful and relatable were the strong emotions to Isaacs storyline. for me as an (aro)ace it means a lot to see another aspec individual sharing their thoughts and unfiltered reactions. it means a lot. you are a truly wonderful person and i wish you only the best. hope to see and hear more from you in the future - will definitely stick around for the ride. much love, taris
That last scene always makes me cry but crying along with you just made me snot sob. Ugh, when I first watched it, I wasn’t expecting it and I cried so hard my mum had to check in on me. This show just hits.
Oh Jackie-Ross!! … you are so beautiful!! Thankyou for creating such amazing reaction videos! Season 2 has definitely been my fave of your series and I will
Continue to follow and rewatch all of your content until
Season 3 drops 😝
Much love 🍂🍁 keep Shining 🫶🏼
Hi Jackie, its been a pleasure to have been on this reaction journey with you, I am a bit late to the party as I only came across Heartstopper 3 weeks ago whilst on a camping holiday with my family with barely any signal until I forced myself to go to the comunal tent (introvert with serious SAD disorder) I have been hooked since so glad I came across it seen both seasons 3 times so far its the most Beautiful Queer series I have ever seen so amazingly done, the cast are extremely talent young people, I raved about it so much my own Nick Nelson ordered me the books, Alice is a beautiful talented person she broke the mold with Heartstopper I have never resonated with a series so much, I can't let it go it stays with you, I even though what is wrong with me why cant I stop thinking about it. Someone suggested we call ourselves Hearties. Alice Thank you. Thank you also Jackie I cried and lol with you. And all involved in bringing Alice's work to life, i feel like I found this amazing family also, we are Hearties forever. We will need each others support season 3 will be very emotional. We might need therapy. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈🌈
Honestly this video might have saved my life tonight. You're such a sweet soul! Thank you
i hope you are okay my friend ♥️
I love the praise for Alice and the quality of the show/adaptation in general. I’ve only read a little of the comic/graphic novel, but I can already tell that your statement about the show elevating and improving on the comic is correct, based on how Alice and the cast and other creatives have talked and written about the process of making it, and all that has gone into it. Not only have they rounded it out, but Alice specifically has expanded a setting into a world, made every character move through it in their own life story, and perfected the plots for the medium that (historically) comes into people’s homes every night to sit with them in their family room. You said in your reaction to Red, White, and Royal Blue that you prefer TV to movies because of the time spent with each character’s development, and I agree! The decision to make Heartstopper a TV series, and to expand and pace it the way Alice has, has made this quite possibly the most important piece of work of their lives. This is a show that is not just going to make the career of the writer, director, leads and featured actors (so that they will have the luxury of being choosy about what other projects to be involved in the rest of their career, at the pace they want, and not have to worry about staying afloat monetarily), but it’s a work with a legacy. It might outlive them (and us). It’s definitely going to change lives, to save lives. It’s very, very important. TV that makes people feel like this, it’s very powerful. I know it must be so exhausting and stressful to make, especially for one person to wrote a whole series, one season at a time! But it’s masterfully done and I’m so grateful for it.
I’m finally getting around to watching these and my heart just loves it💛💙
To start off let me say thank you to you for doing these videos your perspective and just passion are so infectious, I started watching this after I just happened on one of your videos and as overdramatic as it sounds you and this show have been life changing. Don’t ever think your just affecting young people as a 51 year old man from literally the middle of America I struggled my whole life with being Bi and basically feeling ashamed of part of myself but just the conversations the love and support this has showed and the representation of Nick and him showing male athletes can be Bi or gay and still do “manly” things was like a cloud being lifted. It makes me wonder what my life would be like if something like this was around when I was young. Sorry for the novel but I just had to tell you how good of a job your doing and how you truly are changing lives
Im not a crier for the most part but i cried a lot during this season but that last scene when i first watched it i completely broke down. That only happens to me if im fully invested and believe in what im watching and what's obviously gonna be a season focused in some parts on mental health I'm prepared to cry even more.
Sometimes we forget the intensity of our emotions when we were young!! I cried so much as a teen- and maturity does have its benefits!!!!!😇
The show is honestly the best show I’ve ever seen. I’m sure it has helped a lot of people in many different ways. I love your reactions Jackie and how you want to help the community, which you have done ❤
I was the same as you at the end. Great review.
Watching Isaak’s journey makes me think on Jaiden Animation “I’m not straight” video, specially in how long it took her to understand herself and how liberating it was to finally put a name to how she felt.
Watching your video was like watching my own reactions (which is why I have to watch the show on my own.) The entire series was great, of course, but that last bedroom scene... I have no words for how that moved me. Just incredible.
Hopefully it gets more seasons. She seems to think 4 would be enough but there's a lot of story left to tell. Could easily go to 5. But also depends if Netflix will renew. S3 should cover the rest of book 4 and This Winter. Maybe it'll start in on Chapter 7, who knows? I hope Charlie's situation gets a little more attention than in the comic, where a lot is glossed over in these journal recaps. I guess we'll see.
Great video. Thanks for sharing those raw emotions.
