One thing I noticed:
Simon from love, Simon doesn't have his older sister in the movie.
Charlie from heartstopper doesn't have his little brother in the series.
Alex from Red, White & Royal Blue doesn't have a sister in the movie.
So basically queer charactere have to loose a sibling when becoming TV characters? Is this how it works?
If I had a flower for everytime I've seen Love, Simon... I'd probably have enough to supply for Brimons wedding.
Okay so I just saw Love, Simon for the first time and right before it started I yelled "So are we all gay here or what?"
And I swear to god the entire fucking theatre erupted, like they'd been waiting for someone to ask and it was just priceless
A subcategory of movies that makes me soft and very hopeful
Realistic, diverse, funny, heartwarming teen Rom-Coms that actually treat their main characters as they are, teenagers. Complete with wonderful chemistry between the lead and the love interest that is just so sweet every time
Love, Simon post (****SPOILERS****)
Okay so I recently watched Love, Simon and let me tell you: I needed this. All people of the LGBTQPIA+ community needed this. Watching this felt kind of cheesy in the beginning, but when I got to the coming out to Abby, I cried. Hardcore bawling. It didn’t help when douchebag Martin told literally fucking everybody. The part when he is throwing pillows and screaming into them hit so close to home. I remember being up at 3 am crying because I was having feelings about girls. I remember coming out to my mom over text because I was so scared of her reaction. His mom reacted the same way mine did. Kind of. But at the carnival thing when Martin “monkey’s asshole” Addison told Simon that he was blue i was screaming. At the screen. In Anger. That is a new low for anyone. That is such a shitty thing to do. Even for him. But when he and Bram kissed on the ferriswheel, I was in hysterics. Like ugly crying in my seat. And then they got 5 coffees. 2 with milk i was crying even more. Like that is the movie we need. I loved it so much that I’m going to take my mom to see it hopefully. And to those douche nozzles who say “do they need it?” Fuck you. I did need this, we all needed this. Do YOU need that hallmark movie with literally the same plot as every other fucking one? Do YOU need another 50 shades sequel? No you don’t because you aren’t judged for the people you love. And to those who say that Nick Robinson is straight and it’s false advertising: Keiynan Lonsdale Is very much not straight and Nick’s brother came out because of the movie. If anything, Nick did it for his brother not to tarnish the name of the gays.
That’s just my two cents.
