adrhean 32 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I can’t get over this show. It’s too pure but it also gave me melancholia. Like I wish we had this when we were younger. It made me feel like I missed out a lot during my teenage years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I wish we had this when we were younger. It made me feel like I missed out a lot during my teenage years. I think so many of us are being hit by a wide variety of emotions due to this show. Many were robbed of this experience in high school. I know my fiancé was. This show made him mourn that. For me this show reminded me of how me and my first boyfriend began, in grade 12. So many parallels. But all I remembered until now was how it ended, the hurt, the path it sent me on. I forgot how it started. The sparks of holding hands with a boy for first time. A memory I forgot until this show. I’m still crying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,318 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I can’t stress enough how important this show is. A series about teenagers with an out and proud Maik characters, most of his friends are gay. It’s established in the very first scene that he’s gay, it’s not a coming out story or a coming to terms story. It’s just young gay boys going through things.

Andrea B 16,460 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I'm crying so much right now. I'm a trans woman but I pretended to be a guy gay for so many years, people saw me as gay guy, they treated me like one, I had gay relationships and I experienced so much homophobia. So I know how it feels to be gay, this show is so important to me, I'm so happy that it exists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinosky 1,980 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I love it so much but at the same time it's made me very sad because my experiences couldn't be more different from it Father, Son, and House of Cucci Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fame Monster 3,812 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I have a gay friend who is 52 years old, and he came out of the closet in his 40s. He often talks about how he feels like he has missed so much in his life because he has lived most of his life in a lie, trying to fit into the straight world. He still feels shame from being a gay but he says it makes him feel better when he’s spending time with openly gay people who are happy about themselves, like me. When I started to watch this show, I immediately thought that I should recommend this to him because this felt like such a cute show. Now having watched the whole show and reading your comments, I wonder whether I should warn him because I don’t want that the show will make him feel any worse in thinking he has missed this part of his life. I also felt a bit sad that my high school experience was completely different from Charlie’s. I only had a few friends who I already knew before high school. They of course made new friends but I was really scared to get to know anyone. Things are so much better now and I had many crazy, wild, romantic experiences in the University but of course I wish I had something like that already in high school.

Stephen 30,292 Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Finally binged it and wowwww it was so beautiful I honestly expected it to be a little too cheesy for me but it was perfect. Very innocent and earnest. I had my first boyfriend in my last year of school and it felt like some of these scenes were ripped from my life Like the scene where Charlie fell asleep and Nick wants to hold his hand but he's scared... It felt like my memories were playing out on screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen 30,292 Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 What did you guys think about Tao? I thought he was so damn annoying He was way too harsh on Charlie and at first I thought maybe he had a crush on Charlie and that's why he was acting crazy, like just jealousy. But apparently not Apparently a lot of people who haven't read the books feel this way, but those who have read them are defending Tao. Apparently he acts differently in the books. All I know is I'm judging him off the show and idt there's anything wrong with that. It's a different interpretation. I was honestly annoyed that so much of the last episode was about Tao. I'm like jeez who caaaaaaaares And Elle deserves someone better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This series was very emotional for me. I broke up with my boyfriend a month ago and this reminded me of many things that we got to do as a couple when we were in high school.

When he started showing how he was I was honestly dreading his character would remain like that all season.. I was right Don't care too much for Elle and Tao but Charlie definitely deserves less Tao haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen 30,292 Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 Ok wait I have another question If it's an all boys school why is that Imogen girl always hanging around outside? Does she spend every morning with the boys and then race over to the girl school before class? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOT2027 10,801 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 i think one of the best parts about the show is that it isn't overly dark like gay love stories of the past but it also isn't unrealistic and overly cheesy like love simon/victor and others can/could be. at first i was worried bc the whole one is out and one is closeted storyline can be so overdone, but i loved how the more closeted one was always still trying to move forward. so often in those stories i feel like one of the two is just a lost cause that causes pain for both and there is no solution. the whole thing was just so sweet and led me to immediately start (and finish) young royals which i also highly recommend. you can tell how desperate i am for a mans to have watched both in one weekend lolol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick's storyline felt so perfectly paced. like, it always felt like progress was being made in their relationship. and the distinction between him and Ben (both closeted) was so well done/nuanced. does anyone know if the graphic novels go past where the show goes in the story? like, is there more bc I really need there to be lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
