So I have some news...
We are making a feature film to conclude the Heartstopper screen adaptation, based on Heartstopper Volume 6 and the โNick and Charlieโ novella. We are getting to tell the end of the story!!! Iโm deeply relieved and so excited about this new creative venture. Iโve written the script and weโre hard at work already. I know youโll have a lot of questions, and Iโll be able to talk about it more very soon, but for now letโs CELEBRATE! Heartstopper is getting its ending!!!!!! ๐
I'm currently watching A Discovery of Witches (good fantasy show, I definitely recommend it) and Matthew Goode (who is playing the vampire Matthew Clairmont, on of the lead in the show) looks so much like a grown up Edwin.
And every time I think about it, i feel bittersweet, because our beloved Edwardian ghost boy never had the chance to grow and age.
hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset
the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
i love it actually when nonnative speakers make mistakes that reveal how their native languages work.
lots of koreans online say they "eat" drinks which would assume they only have one word which covers the concept of consumption.
arabic immigrants in sweden (my mother included) have a hard time differentiating between "i think/i believe/my opinion is" which suggests that in arabic these different modalities of speaker agency is treated as one or at least interchangeable.
swedish speakers in english will use should/shall/have to/must with much higher nuance precision than native english speakers, to the point where they sound well awkward, because the distinction between these commands in swedish is much clearer than in english. i make mistakes between is/am/are and has/have constantly because swedish only has one pronoun covering all grammatical persons.
i've heard speakers of languages without gendered pronouns (finnish, the chinese dialects, and a tonne more) make he/she mistakes because it's hard(!!) to learn two or more gendered pronouns and when to use them correctly.
how neat is that?! it add a charm to international english usage in particular and make our appreciation of both our native languages and our learnt ones stronger...!!
you've heard of modern au punk charles who plays up the attitude to mess with edwins' parents.
now get ready for:
Punk Charles, who is so polite and charming that Mrs Payne invites him for tea every chance she gets.
Edwin was afraid his parents wouldn't approve of their friendship, but here they are, eating little biscuits and chatting
eagerly awaiting the reveal of what political science 101 concept is she going to stop the plot to teach middle schoolers about. we got bread and circuses we got the extended work on thomas hobbes my money is on haymitch starting this book as an objectivist and having to unlearn that in the face of true struggle
Just finished rewatching Dead Boy Detectives. This show is so good. The writing, the characters, the actors... everything.
It's art.
