HEART BREAK HIGH E7 - UNCUT

Well things just got DARK.
Enjoy xo
I was looking for someone to mention the 'my country' part (I didn't want to repeat something that someone had already said). It's so great to see it included in mainstream media and it's really important to spread info/awareness to both domestic and international communities.

Why do I have a suspicion that Spider might actually be gay?

I’m a bit late to the party on this one, but really feel the need to add my thoughts on the Cash/Darren scene. I found it incredibly triggering as someone on the ACE-spectrum, as it shows the lack of understanding of asexuality even within the queer community. He very clearly comes out as homo/possibly-biromantic asexual (and seems sex-repulsed from what he says). It’s the idea that “maybe you’ve just had bad sex” or “maybe we can find a way you will enjoy sex” that leaves us feeling “broken” for so long. That somehow we are less-than because of our lack of sexual attraction.
I love this channel so much, but I will say that your commentary on the scene was a bit triggering too, and highlighted how little asexuality is understood even by the two of you who comment on queer content so regularly. I would highly recommend reading “The Invisible Orientation” by Julie Sondra Decker to educate yourselves, as asexual storylines are slowly getting more space in mainstream productions (including Heartstopper). The book is also available on Audible. You have a growing audience, and it would be amazing to see you discuss asexuality with more knowledge if it comes up again in the content you review.

Interesting the conversation you had about Ca$h. Just made me think how same people have a preference for top or bottom. There are people who are happy with either. There must be people who are HAPPY with neither. I reckon Ca$h might fall in that category. He just doesn't get that kind of urge for anything more than kissing in the same way that 100% tops/bottoms don't get the urge to switch roles. Just sayin'
Darren and Ca$h had a good conversation where they were realistic about whether the stuff they both like is enough. And whether Darren would be happy without the stuff that falls outside of that.
Healthy chat.

Agree! But I also feel like it really opens the door for conversations. Also probably more realistic of the type of decisions teenagers are making than heartstopper. Both are lovely representations but just different

Ive been dying for you to finish this season for all the Harper revelations. I was shocked like you this episode. But Im curious how season 2 will be. As it is interesting to have a typical teen drama with a mystery being weaved throughout the whole season. Im curious if they try to repeat that w season 2.
Im hoping we don’t have to wait too long for finale episode reaction.

Agree. That is how I interpreted that conversation. I think romantic and sexual preferences are lumped together bc the majority seems to experience both similarly. To me he was expressing romantic feelings but asexual preferences/identity.

It’s only just dawned on me that Darren’s stepdad and Lucas Fitzgerald in Neighbours were played by the same actor (Scott Major) 😮

OMG, I have no words. Am not sure I can wait the season finale. The scene with Darren and Ca$h was so emotional and the last scene. Poor harper

This was probably your funniest intro ever! I was dying before you even started the show.
I got the vibes Ca$h is asexual, but he's not aromantic, so he loves the relationship and kissing that comes with being with darren, but he doesn't have sexual impluses. I dont always associate wanting to kiss with wanting sex. and he happens to feel like that, just all the time.
maybe unpopular opinion: I hate Dusty 1000x more than Spider.

I don't say this lightly but I think Ca$h might be my favorite ace spectrum rep I've ever seen. So much of his conversation with Darren mirrors my own feelings. It really hurts to have romantic feelings for someone and yet feel that there's no future in the relationship because they want something you can't give. To know that you would otherwise fit together well...if not for this one thing that is making you incompatible. That sucks! And it doesn't mean either person is bad or wrong, it just means you're not compatible but God, it still hurts so much. He broke my heart, honestly.

Also Harper's dad is home late because they had just finished laying a slab of concrete when Ryan's blue cattle dog ran through it so they had to stay back and fix up the paw prints lol

Harper’s dad is a drug addict and it’s effected his mental health, so he keeps attacking her. Alex hit the nail on the head.
In this series, Harper has had so much trauma.

I agree. That would make sense.

What happened to Harper in this episode happened in the present - hence she didn’t have the long hair that she cut off after coming home from the festival. The Spider/Amerie/“Harper” scene was a flashback.

"Duck is a strange one". You've never been to Stoke, have you? They use duck instead of sweetheart, love, mate or anyting else 😆 Duck at the end of every second sentence

loved it as always! about discerning sexualities with sexual activities, too often a part of the gay men community called “sides” is criticized by their own community bc of their dislike of penetrative sex, saying they aren’t really gay or whatever…asexuality representation matters bc still, to this day, we often see a wrongly stereotyped version (if u have seen the fourth season of sex education ykwim), and ace ppl still get shit even from the queer community which is insane

You got a reference that I didn’t get lol - Blue’s Clues
When Harper read her dad’s phone there was a text about him buying some drugs, which obviously messed him up. She wanted him to stay home and stay clean.

FYA a “Bluey” is a breed of dog called a blue healer. Remember a lot of our slang ends in ‘ey’, ‘ie’ or ‘o’.

Harper’s dad is addicted to meth. He was about to get some. That’s what was written in the text she read on his phone. So he was high af when he came back home. So that’s why she is scared whenever he leaves the house cause he’s unpredictable when he comes back home….
Frances

So a few points about this episode
- A Gronk is an idiot
- The indigenous people of Australia have a very strong spiritual connection to the land. Malakai going "my country" means he is going to reconnect to the land. There may have been ceremony or "men's business" performed. It would be equal to a Christian going to church.
- Cash is asexual but he is not aromantic so he still wants a relationship and a romantic connection without the sexual side of it.
- Harper's dad has a drug problem, not just alcohol. When she checks the phone in the kitchen it is his phone and the messages are about buying drugs. That's why she is so on edge when she realises he has been out all night.
Looking forward to your reaction to the final episode!!

The scene with Darren and Ca$h in the corridor was so emotional and well scripted. Made me tear up 😔

Heartbreak High has definitely a different vibe than YR and HS. I was fascinated the first time I saw it, now... I don't know any longer. There are just so many bad decisions being made. 🫣 Maybe it's an age thing... (My age that is!! ☺️)
