Heartstopper

I’m partial to scruffy Bash

Derek Chadwick as Hulking would be awful. let's hope Joe just has bad taste and finds him hot

R1 I want him to keep that stubble forever.

Back to this Derek Chadwick thing, he followed him back.

I remember back when he was on tumblr and went by a different name and i used to follow him. Im sorry but he looks the part but i think he would be awful.

If all else fails, i’d rather have Kit as hulking thank him

R3 the only reason I think it possibly could be work related is he's not his usual thirst follow (I'm saying this like I know him personally lol)

R6

maybe it could be for something else, work related maybe.

Maybe im remembering wrong but didn't he follow him and then unfollow him in the past?

We're months, potentially years, away from Joe following whoever winds up cast as Hulkling. Unless it ends up being someone he already knows. I wouldn't worry about any of his follows being Hulkling for now.

Is there a reason we don't like this Derek guy? He's hot and Kit could legit look like him in 10 years.

R7 No he's never followed him. I can't remember the name of the guy he followed and unfollowed a few months ago.

R10 I don't find him too attractive, but he does give me those dumb himbo Teddy vibes and he's openly gay

R12 Wow, if he's hulking I'll be praying for Bash.

R7 He liked a post of his from April 16, only previous interaction I’m seeing. But agree with whoever said he’s too old for Hulkling.

Derek is a notorious pass around power bottom and was in a relationship with Chris Appleton who recently married Lukas Gage (from White Lotus).

R11 Dylan Geick?

R13 Joe is a brat but not messy enough to cheat with a costar I’d think.

Also remembering with Pride month coming up magazines and publications are doing more “queer star” shoots and features, so it could literally be something as random as that

I really hope we get new stills by the next thread so I can replace this gif. We probably won't.

Bash has nothing to worry about, Joe flew 4000 miles to see him in a play, I don't think his eyes are straying anytime soon.

R15 He must have stopped being a whore since he's got a cute long term boyfriend now, or they are just into that sort of thing. Lukas is another person I would not want as Hulkling

R16 Yep that's it.

Random, but I saw this on my timeline - I remember Alice saying that the corridor scene in episode 8 was rewritten very near the end, and based on this photo it looks like there was originally a conversation after Nick runs to Charlie at sports day. Kit’s clearly acting a line and is holding a script. Seems obvious but had just never occurred to me!

R13 Two bottoms aren’t going to work, he isn't nearly as hot as Bash and there is a dozen of him with that generic look in every club nothing to worry about there

I also agree he is too old for Hulkling even though he looks the part and I would be surprised if he was cast yet anyway. Maybe he has some other minor role in Agatha?

I love how everyone (myself included) decided it has to be for work since Joe would not follow a hairless bottom twunk otherwise

R23 Kind of my thinking doesn’t look like his usual thirst follow

R23 Joe is pretty thirsty online so I wouldn't be surprised if the muscles blinded him. The follow-back is the only thing making me think it's for work.

I’m trying to figure out why I don’t find that Derek guy attractive. Part of it is that he’s too smooth for me, but I think the biggest thing is that his smile seems kind of serial killerish and he looks a bit dead in the eyes.

R26 I mean my type is twinks with bone structure so not my usual type but although he is theoretically attractive there is something rather plastic and soulless going on there. Probably grossly unfair but the Instagram impression is not someone I would want to know better even for a mindless fuck

R25 Could be, though Dereck is a nobody so could be the reason for the follow back. Joe did like this old post of his which is his usual MO for following someone

Enjoy how hunter doohan stays liking his posts on IG.

R14 The same thing he did when he followed the dancer. Joe is so funny. He's really into muscles.

R21 I'm assuming they moved that dialogue to the corridor or cut it, which I think is a good choice. It gave Kit and Joe some space for facial acting.

R25 It could be a repeat of the Jordan Fisher thing, where one saw that the other followed and they decided to complete the follow.

Kit just posted a story, he still is in LA

Kit in LA.

R30 those cocksucking lips again

IG Story - Kit

R31 Perfect, pink lips.

If he didn't jet off immediately after the weekend, I'm guessing he's sticking around for work-related things.

wonder how the Kit/Maia and Kit/Joe shippers are taking him being so close to both of them and seeing neither.

R33 I'm not complaining but I am curious to know why are they posting so much stories/selfies all of a sudden.

R36 i guess it depends on your definition of close. He’s six hours ish from her and 4 ish hours from Joe. Though he has traveled almost that distance to fuck Maia before so they might be holding out hope

Genuinely interested, when it comes to a show or film you are on, what is a "usual" clause as to promo on your SM? Is there one? Do you have to promote it so many times or is it your call?

R39 In terms of TV deals, promoting on social media is mostly encouraged rather than obligated, but there’s been an increase in deals that bundle certain social media obligations with promotional appearances (so something like CCXP). The common clause most relevant to social media isn’t actually about posting to promote, but rather about morality. Meaning that if you say something fucked up on Twitter or Instagram, you’re giving the studios grounds to fire you.

R36 Shipping delusions aside, they'd have to be complete morons to get in their feelings about it. He's 4-6 hours away from both of them and they're both working. With Maia in Argentina he was a couple of hours away and she wasn't working, so going to visit her made sense.

R40 Atlanta Filming also just had a post about MCU and their representation clause. Meaning don't shoot the finger at photographers or do bunny ears in photos (which I guess is more for crew members doing it to actors). Kinda dumb. You gotta behave yourself or risk being fired. Guess you can't call yourself a slut on social media either.

R36 Do any of them actually still give a fuck about Maia? I thought that had died a death along with whatever fwb deal they had going on

R39 I am pretty sure there must be though I have no idea what form it would take. I suspect the uptick in activity from all of them is a shift in mindset in preparation for what I assume will be a very active Pride and promo season

R43 There are a few who are still hanging on to Maia

I will say, Joe and Kit’s most recent selfies wouldn’t fall into any social media obligations for Heartstopper or the MCU, those are personal posts so they’re posting them by their own volition.

I will say while I think Joe and Kit are close it is funny to see the people who are in hysterics online about how they’re platonic soulmates who miss one another so much see them in the same country twice in a row (Joe in England and Kit is the US) with neither to our knowledge seeing the other. Obviously seeing family and his boyfriends play was going to be a priority to Joe and as someone who loathed Atlanta blame Kit 0 percent for not going for a visit esp if Joe is working all day

R46 Joe was probably only in London long enough to fly in and out between the IOM and Chichester and Kit is across the country from Joe, seeing each other is unrealistic no matter how close they are. People expect them to be superhuman.

R46 to be fair a lot of people from have a hard time grasping the size of the US if they’re not from here.

R47 oh agreed. But it’s ehy I think people put too much pressure on their friendship overall. They’re still human and have other people in their lives. If anything they both get the need to put work first more than their school mates or even their less in demand castmates would

Long shot, but does anyone recognize the general area in Kit's selfie? The windows make me think office building rather than hotel.

R50 Kinds looks like the Sunset Tower Hotel

Also realize he has it tagged LA and not west hollywood, but I dunno how IG tags shit

R51 I think you're right.

R51 and 53 good eye, hoping he’s not staying there because if so he really needs to be more cautious about his location

R54 I am not sure he has ever been as cautious as Joe about things like that remember the chaos last time he announced to the world he was in LA. He needs to learn the art of photo dumping after you leave town

Not sure of source but he’s so hot

Kit isn't that cautious. He's given his location out many times.

And I doubt there are too many teenage girls and twinks hanging around there. It's close to lots of night life and clubs, so good for him if he's having fun and visiting a legendary hotel.

R57 Slut era reactivated. Any good gay clubs nearby?

Appreciate both Joe and Kit for providing us with selfies in the span of 24 hours, I'm sure this will never happen again.

R58 There's quite a few. Think I'd go to Stache West Hollywood, seems classy.

R60 Then we can live in hope

Bash tonight:

R62 Confused by Nell's story since her boyfriend was posting like he was chilling at home. Maybe from this weekend

R62 He's so hot. I'm assuming Nell and Isaac saw the play unless her pic was from earlier.

R58

If he goes to any clubs, no doubt some weho gay won’t spot him

I love it when Bash looks like he was just woken up from a nap.

Yes it’s the messy hair and horny gaze for me.

^weed

R62 Bash looks so good. I’m seeing the play this weekend, I can’t wait.

Joe archived a photo from the GQ photoshoot and a photo with Bash

What’s with them and archiving posts?

It's bad enough that he hasn't posted since last year, it's basically adding insult to injury that he's removing some of the few posts he has.

I will be an optimist and believe he is having a tidy up before actually posting something

Kit archived one of the Hunger covers. Random since he left the other three.

Which Bash pic did he archive? He barely had any to start with. His IG is by far the most boring out of the cast

Think it was this Getty one:

R74 Don’t know if this influenced the decision for sure, but the one he unshared is the one that has the caption about not wanting to divulge his sexuality.

R75 This one

Surprised he let that one slide for so long. Look at that lewd waist holding

R77

I can see why he would do so for that one now considering he is out now

Pretty sure the one joe archived still had the watermark on it so I get wanting to archive it. It’s one of the less personal (and imo less flattering) ones of them anyway

He also deleted one of the images (the first one actually I think) from the pink BAFTA suit post

Connor saw Bash in the play.

R83 The Eileen Atkins fandom is out in full force judging by the median age of everyone in the background.

I'm assuming most fangirls aren't going to make a long trip to see it and it's just your normal theatre crowd. Plus some teen Bash fans act like it's basically straight porn on stage, which put some of them off from going.

Nice to see Connor hyping people other than Alice

R82 do you know which one? I can’t remember at all

R87 this one I think. The new cover image is way better so good call on his part

R88 Thanks! I think that’s cute but the one that is now first is more striking

I hadn't seen this video before, it gave me a bit of a laugh.

Followers update. Kit's boost ended. Joe for some fucking reason lost 4.6k followers after he posted the selfie. Bash is probably going to go down to 1.8M in a couple of days, Will down to 1.9M.

R91 people can’t handle a hot twink.

Related to Derek Chadwick, this doesn’t mean anything but funny he posted a pic comparing himself to Hulkling back in 2021

Hey R5, this might explain the name change.

R93

Thank you. I could not remember his previous name. i remember know people called him out on this bs, i think he did some apology or ignored or and rebranded

Saw these on a Kit fan account regarding his visit to LA. I have no idea the validity to it but as a Hercules truther this pleases me. (1/3)

(2/3)

(3/3)

I’m pretty sure they’ve full of shit because I’ve seen them be weird in the comments section of other posts centered around Kit.

R97 fascinating. I am also a Kit as Hercules truther. Them saying jimmy olsen actually makes this more plausible to me as it’s less likely to be a role a Stan would just make up that he’s going for instead of the lead.

Actually just noted they said the casting agent of CAA, but that’s joes agency. Kit is WME. A mistake that seems unlikely if the claimed info source is a friend at that very agency

Well this will surely cause a rift with his HS castmates.

R101 what?

R91 Straight people have no aesthetic.

So, question about HS season 2:

Catching up on the thread. I read a few threads back there will be a prom event in season 2?

If that's correct, how does that fit into the timeline for Volume 3 of the comic?

I'm very curious how that fits into the story.

While seeing Charlie and Nick at a prom would be awesome, I am afraid it'll replace the setting for the "I love you" scene from the comics.

They better not change that scene. They can't deprive us of shirtless, wet Kit running out of the shower in a towel to tell Charlie he loves him.

That would be like rewriting the iconic rain scene from season 1.

Alice wouldn't allow that, would she?

Someone alleviate my worries.

Some of those claims seem a bit wild. I would love to see him as Hercules and am sure he is in LA for something work related but the “so in demand right now it’s gonna be tough to squeeze everything in” seems a bit breathless fangirl especially when, the few weeks filming in Belfast aside, he has spent the last six months in the gym

R100 OK interesting

R101 What the fuck are you talking about

There have been too many mad posts on here recently

R104 I really doubt they’re doing an I love you at prom. What I could plausibly see is it replacing the beach scene, since it doesn’t seem like that was shot. Nick saying to Charlie he wants to talk about something, Charlie saying him too thinking they’ll exchange I love you, and then Nick saying he thinks Charlie has an ED. But it also could just be brand new like the sports day last year

R95

Which stan account is this under by chance?

Season 2 will likely depart from the comic, the leads will be more chaste.

Late and no one asked but pretty sure Nell’s post with Bash was a latergram. I noticed his costar followed her the other day. Guessing they may have gone to the Saturday show and then hung out over the weekend

R100

I thought that James Gunn was going to use John Papsidera for the casting of Superman Legacy. He is not with CAA is he?

R108 How could they be MORE chaste when in the comics they took eighteen months just to touch each other’s dicks. The only remotely unchaste thing that happened in the series two timeline was the love bite and we have all seen the pictures with Joe’s marked neck

R111 We have?

R101 And what the hell are you talking about?

Yeah

R110 You’re right that it’s Papsidera, but I asked a friend and she said it looks like he’s casting through The Safran Company, not through one of the talent agencies.

I thought Hercules was already cast? I absolutely believe Kit is in back to back meetings and auditions but I can’t see how he’ll have trouble fitting all the work in around S2 promo. The HS deal with Netflix already exists so anything he signs on for will have to be aligned or they’ll have to really want him, right?

R115 Hercules doesn't even have a finished script yet, it's nowhere near being cast and Guy Ritchie keeps taking on other movies ahead of it. Disney also moved up some of the other live action adaptations ahead of it.

R114

hmm. interesting. i never thought of it of Jimmy as a possibility but i can see it now.

R116 lol. So, not that much trouble fitting that in, in the immediate future. Seems like that source is a bit full of shit…

I don’t think it’s imperative that Kit do a tentpole right now and I don’t have a ton of trust in Gunn outside of the Guardians movies, so I’m fine with this being a load of shit. He’s young, let him age into the better parts.

R115 How even a couple of weeks of back to back meetings and auditions in May, which he might well be doing, would be an issue for promo for a series released in August is an interesting take, as is seeing Joe again for a Fall press tour a couple of months after it is released and when they’re supposed to be filming series three. The more I look at that the more it just reads like spitballing garbage

R115 The back end of this year July to December looks like it’s contracted for Heartstopper promo and filming. Anything he is auditioning for now must be a short summer project or 2024

R107 the comments are here

I'm late to the party, but, re. Joe archiving there goes my hopes that Bash and Joe might soon be a bit more public with their relationship, seems like they're going the other way and becoming even more private. Hopes of a beach photo of the two are pretty much gone.

R122 to be honest I say as someone who thinks they’re pretty cute and also very private with no plans to be “public” soon, I doubt that archiving was related to their privacy. The watermark on it was huge and distracting. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next one he archived was the Dunhill event one for the same reason. Not saying they’re coming out as a couple next week or anything, just that I think the picture being with bash had very little to do with the archiving

In terms of promo, I think there's a more than decent chance that a US push is coming. At the very least, a late show appearance à la guys from YR. They had critical success with the Emmys and GLAAD, they should try to translate that into further awareness of the show.

In terms of promo in the UK specifically, I need Netflix to make them do Pride.

R122 You despair too easily I will never give up hope of beach shots in their skinnies

R124 that is one of my favourite photos out of pride. Joe is so fucking cute

R124 Love their smiles.

R98 Yeah, that account is full of shit.

R128 the weird fan delusion that they’ve been instructed to keep their relationship secret is bizarre. Netflix would shit themselves with joy if they could post cute shit of them all over their socials, they’re both just extremely private. Joe is obvious but even bash tends not to repost anything of him with his mates etc.

R119 that’s what I don’t really understand about the Jimmy Olsen part. Surely his team would want him to be more of a lead and would be waiting to see how the horror movie, S2 hit. It’s like they noticed there is a ginger in the superman canon and said well obviously that’s Kit

R130 Tbf while the whole thing is clearly bs I guess we wouldn’t know how James Gunn would develop it. A well written or funny large supporting part in a film landing in cinemas with a big budget would be a great get, even if not the lead

R131 tbh i have little understanding of who Jimmy Olsen is and just assumed it was minor because of the movies (is he in the Snyder versions?). Wikipedia would have been my friend here as canon Jimmy seems pretty important

The only realistic thing in that ig comment is that Netflix will invest a lot in S2, it’s already starting.

R133 the choice of that image is pretty clear that Netflix might send out content to the dedicated fans through sm that includes all the other cast, but the push to the broader viewers will be the boys. It’s a cute pic

OP here, never got a timeout for this thread, maybe Muriel is warming up to us

Or she's just drunk.

Tobie is doing a play next month

R137 good for him, glad he got some work. Is that the whole cast that’s worked since S1 now? Honestly quite impressive if so

I've not heard of the play, the warnings say it's got nudity in it, will Tobie be the first to get his kit off??

R139 and here we all predicted Bradley

Bash actually getting his dick out in the almost-blowjob part in 4000 Miles would’ve been perfect. Alas…

R139 Go Tobie genuinely glad he has found work. Getting his dick out in such an intimate theatre space takes some doing but I am here for it

R141 Even for a glimpse of Bash’s dick I wouldn’t want to see that in a heterosexual setting. Talking about pussy and kissing girls I can just about deal with but it would be a tragedy to have it’s world premiere for the straights. We need him in something hot and horny and very gay

R138 I could be forgetting something but I feel like all Kizzy has done so far is a very very minor role in a short film, or something? Maybe they have something else lined up, or are just not that fussed about getting lots of work.

R143 I think they were a background extra in that Lockwood show.

R144 whilst absolutely correct, from the clip I saw it was literally a blink and you'll miss it role, I think most people wouldn't even bother putting it on their CV

R143 I may actually be making this up but I swore I saw Kizzy did some voiceover work for something that hasn’t come out yet

I wonder if Kizzy was more prominent in a scene that got cut? Seems weird that they'd even advertise that when it was literally walking in the background. I've worked as an extra/background artist and had roles that big, haha.

I'm aware that this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but this person is going to see Bash (again) in his play in a few days and she's collecting messages of support in a little notebook to give to him. I feel like he needs as much love as he can get nowadays, so if you want to contribute, feel free to send her a DM.

I normally find books like this a bit cringy, but, I think after the sheer hate he received over the last few months I think it's probably exactly what he needs to receive

R148 that’s really nice

R149 I tend to agree plus bash actually seems like the sort of person who would be genuinely touched by this. Keeping the bracelets with both his and Joe’s names on them From the con for example

Connor’s still in Chichester, looks like they went to the beach.

British beaches look so gloomy to me

R152 I definitely wouldn't travel from another country to our beaches, but, some of them are alright, just bloody freezing

Connor’s IG story

Think stuff like this really shows the privacy isn’t just a Joe thing. Bash is basically just as private - doesn’t repost most stories from his mates (minus them posting about his play), doesn’t show up in Connor’s pics while Connor posts with Alice and other friends no issue

Kit might be making an appearance somewhere today, he just followed a groomer (and it's not the one who groomed him for the Loewe event, he followed her a couple of days ago).

Interesting, wonder if it’s for a photoshoot or for an event

Curious why everyone voted for who they did in the poll! Honestly I think they were all good looking in s1 already and have only gotten better looking but I picked kit because I fucking loathed the curtain hair and he’s gotten way better looking since. Joe was second also hair related (not close cropping it)

R158 Voted for Kit. He’s styled better now, his face matured, his hair looks much better now, and that’s without even mentioning the body.

R158 I voted for Kit for reasons..

R159 that’s fair, I was torn because I’m actually most into Joe and then bash of the 4 so was tempted to go for Them. But I think kit has been the “most improved” so to speak. Altogether though all 4 are very hot

I guess follow up was your vote who you’re most attracted to - as I said above, kit isn’t the one or two I’m most attracted to; I am more into Joe (always hottest to me) and bash. So the glow up was independent

They’ve all grown into their looks but Bash does it for me. Especially with how he’s looking recently.

R157

The groomer is in cannes right now actually

R164

Sorry was wrong ignore that

R162 Kit for sure. Then Will and Joe. I want to know who is voting for Bradley.

Bash keeping his stubble during the duration of the play is the highlight of the month.

I think Joe and bash and will all have stronger features or bone structure overall so they’ve all gotten hotter but they had less glowing up to do. Kit has softer features and a baby face naturally so him growing out of that makes the difference more stark. His jawline hits way more now. Joe is still my fav looking by a mile and They’re not all my type, some are, but they are definitely all really hot and I’d be very curious to see them IRL. People who’ve seen them have overall said kit and bash are accurate to photos but Joe is way better looking

It’s a great stubble R167, I reckon he’d look great with a beard.

Voted for Kit, have always thought Kit is the finest.

Kit is networking his ass off, no doubt he shows up at something tonight. Joe’s stylist Holly in my opinion is still not getting it right with Corey Mylchreest, hoping she gets it together before Joe starts doing publicity when he’s finally done with Agatha!

R171 I kind of think that those misses might be due to Corey's particular taste and sensibilities.

Sebastian’s greek genes are coming through even more now when he’s in his early 20s and I’m very much into it.

R173 Yes Bash has a strong Greek/Balkanic face and his features are striking in person.

R171

Is there anything going on tonight? The only thing i know of was the Loewe event but thats in NYC. I wonder what he will show up to.

Holly has done Joe right so i don’t think we have anything to worry about. Corey’s mishaps might just be due to his taste

Voted Joe. Think he is extremely striking and hot and there's not really a ton of other guys who look like him, in a good way. I think he stands out in gifs and videos to me so voted him. Have always thought he's the hottest though

Looking at older photos of Joe his jaw has really strengthened in the last couple years, maybe that sounds a bit weird, bit hopefully you know what I mean, the same happened with Bash

In reference to the conversation upthread about nudity on stage, imagine if he had whipped it out fucking hell.

R177 agreed. His jaw is actually insane

R177 It’s true and you’re not the only one that’s noticed.

R176 Bash's ex is basically a carbon copy of Joe. I think dark, curly-haired twinks are everywhere, but maybe that's just where I'm from.

R181 curly dark haired twinks, yes - joe's specific bone and facial structure is to me very unique. Not exactly a long list of celebrities who look like him at all in my opinion. I don't think bash's ex looks anything like him minus the hair and skin colour.

R178 If only those sweatpants were gray.

R175 If Kit doesn’t end up showing up at an event, it could also be for a photoshoot. He was up and liking posts around 7-8 AM LA time.

I voted Kit for glow up. Joe is gorgeous and 100% my type - want to fuck him badly - but I thought Kit looked too young and too soft. Even after the show when he was clearly bulking he looked almost a bit chunky. He looks amazing now. Beautiful defined face and if that’s the body type you’re into Kit’s is a perfect example

R183 Richard Eyre doesn’t understand what the gays want.

R182 Same hair, skin tone, body type, full lips, rounded nose, big eyebrows... I think the only difference is their eyes shape and ears.

R187 we can agree to disagree, clearly you're not into joe which is fair. I can and do still think he's stand out attractive and memorable looking in a positive way, and i really don't see similarities with the ex at all.

People can just find one of the cast hottest without making side passive aggressive comments about the others. It’s all good different people have different types

R189 fair. then forget R185 assessment and will say i voted for Kit as the biggest glow up because, even though he will never displace Joe, Kit jumped from 4th to 2nd on my list in the last 2 months

R158 Kit has grown up the most but Joe’s had the biggest glow up.

R190 thanks, you weren’t the only one tbf. Feels like it’s almost always kit and Joe who end up getting called generic looking or backhanded things. They’re extremely different types, think it’s rare to find both equally hot, but people can think Kit has always been hot and not doughy looking; people can say they find Joe unique looking without being told he looks like every other twink. Just jerk off to the ones you like and move on imo

R188 What makes you think I'm not into Joe? Because I said he looked like Bash's ex? I thought it was common knowledge that Bash's type is scarily specific. I think Joe looks gorgeous.

Is nobody jerking off to me?

R193 maybe i misread it but i tend to think calling someone pretty generic or common looking isn't a compliment. dont think you were calling him ugly tho just that you weren't into him. i of course believe your own take on who you're into, and it would be fine if you weren't into him. so long as no one is being a dick i think it's natural to find some more attractive than others.

R194 Cormac is cute but I know next to nothing about him besides him being rich and Danish.

This Cormac anecdote always makes me laugh though:

Sorry Cormac, you're too young looking.

R195 I guess I'm the only one who finds both of them extremely attractive for different reasons. I like Kit's built and his hunk face and I like Joe's striking looks and his sexy waist. I'm not much of a 'type' person. I would even say Patrick might be in my top 3 (sorry Bash).

R195 i definitely think it's possible to have two very different people in your top few. bash and joe are 100percent mine based on looks and personality, and i dont see many commonalities in their looks. even the twink thing not so much as bash has gotten hotter to me since filling out more. so i think some people will find both kit and joe hot. just saying its fine if people dont, they can just comment solely on the one they do like.

R197 Nah, I get it.

Bash is on top for me but I’ve always had a thing for guys with his look and personality. My husband is a sagittarius like Bash and they’re very similar in a lot of ways which amuses me.

Spanish fans are so much more unhinged.

Sebastian has a lot of charm and sexual charisma which makes him very attractive to me beyond just being good looking. He seems like the guy who could chat up just about anyone but not come off as a fuck boy.

R201 Hon, that’s Portuguese.

The Tobie play announcement was deleted. Wonder why

R204 They’re still rehearsing, at least.

R202 i get that from him too. Bash is 3rd on my list but gives me strong vibes that his chat and flirt are expert level. I think you’d be falling all over yourself to fuck him even if he didnt fit your type

He’s blessed with a big dick and seems like a horny fucker based on his instagram likes. I wonder if he’d be in another relationship or slutting around if he hadn’t gotten together with Joe.

R207 tragically for the broader queer community in London, he seems like a one man guy

They all seem monogamous. Joe and bash are like a married couple, Will has I guess actually been with this girl for over a year, of course our darling Bradley is in a LTR. Like all of you manifesting Kit’s slut phase but I feel like he’s tragically not doing it

R209 Yaz is probably the only one enjoying a slut era, I suppose.

Echo must be a mess if they're dropping the entire season in one go. I'm hoping that with Loki and Echo announcements out of the way we'll hear something about Agatha at SDCC.

R209 I refuse to accept this in my mind Kit is the sluttiest of them all

R212 if only. A combo of monogamous but extremely horny for one another friends and slutty friends is best. No one is a buzzkill, and you have stories to tell one another.

R211 that’s interesting. What other shows are meant to come out before agatha

Joe gives me the vibe that he has the potential for a slut era, but I think he would worry about people running their mouths about it. I suspect that would be an issue for Kit as well.

R214 I’ve also wondered that re joe. But on the flip side being basically worshipped by someone super into you who you also love is addicting in its own way.

R215 I feel like Bash is the exception. I'm sure he would be having lots of summer dalliances if it weren't for him.

R211 I can understand them dropping Echo all at once in late November, once all the Loki episodes are out. If they released them weekly it would be during the holidays and might be hard to keep weekly viewership high. Now people can binge it over the holidays instead.

R213 I think after Echo they need to release Ironheart, and then they can release Agatha. So if Ironheart comes out in early 2024, Agatha could come out summer 2024. I doubt it would be ready any earlier than that anyway since the need to do all the VFX in post.

The groomer that Kit followed posted that she's headed to Cannes from LA. No sign of Kit anywhere so far.

R217 do you know how does Daredevil fits in there? It appears to be about 20 eps long

R219 It was supposed to be before Agatha, though the strike might fuck that up

R218 i still believe Kit is a chance for Canned but if he is auditioning and taking meetings in LA it seems a bit less likely he’ll pop up there. That being said, air travel exists

There might be a new photoshoot for Kit coming. There is a magazine called A Book Of and the editor posted this in a reply to someone asking for Kit. The magazine is based in LA too

R222 think you might be right. They follow him on IG

Agatha now expected to debut in 2024.

2024 aka Joe’s year with HS S3 and Agatha

R224 2025 did seem very far away for a show thats production finishes this month (or whenever, soon). Huge year for Joe

Not getting a better photo of his perfect flat stomach in this crop top is a villain origin story for me

Middle aged fraus pretending to be gay men, thristing over teenagers. Losers 🤮

I bet my life, not a single one of you has a dick.

Think this was the convention Bradley and maybe Yaz was doing? It's very passive aggressive though towards Kit and Joe, they're not obligated to do conventions and I understand why they don't right now, I wouldn't either with some of the batshit fans, plus they hardly need the money do they.

Not them basically blaming both of them as if it their fault lmao.

R229 that is so confusing. It basically sounds like they scheduled a convention for two people who had not signed on. At all. Kit and Joe don’t work for them.

The worst bit is about the virtual one "not being interesting enough" what a statement to make, and isn't fair to them at all

Maybe don’t

Lol whoops, somehow managed to send that comment without finishing it.

Maybe don’t plan an entire convention around the attendance of two people, Fly Away. Also, it sounds like Kit and Joe’s current stance is ‘no conventions at the moment, but not ruling out in the future’. Probably more likely after Heartstopper has finished.

It’s interesting cos it kinda seemed like they were having fun (to an extent) at the London convention last year, but apparently not. I wonder if it was just the convention in general that they didn’t like, or it was afterwards when they realised that they’d been secretly recorded by multiple people.

Bash uploaded to his story.

He’s cute. I’m guessing it’s from yesterday with Connor.

Mr Connor Jessup spending time equally with Joe, Bash and unfortunately Alice the past two weeks. I’d love to know more about what his “friendship” with Joe and Bash is really like? Is Connor still acting? Haven’t noticed him in anything?

“Heartstopper is not just Kit and Joe.” I mean, looks like it is? Fans are calling out the con for pinning this on them in the quote tweets and replies if anyone is interested.

Yeah all those big 4 big 6 talks. Turns out there are only big 2

R239 Yep something Alice needs to learn as well with her asexual side story obsession

Who was going to this? Bradley, Yaz and Will? And surprise the fans who endlessly bang on about representation as an excuse for shitting on Bash couldn’t be assed to pay not even for a virtual event. And poor Bradley might have the best PR team in the business but he still can’t sell convention tickets

I thought both Joe and Kit had made it clear they wouldn’t be doing conventions and who can blame them not wanting to be trapped in a room at the beck and call of obsessed twitter bullies, stalkers and middle aged women

the leads are the only ones who can act sorry not sorry

R242 I wouldn’t be quite that harsh Bash, Jenny and Cori can all act as well though Heartstopper wasn’t always Bash at his best

The ones who playing Nick and Charlie are the only ones with Chemistry and the ones who were carrying the whole show in Season 1 and the Rest is mid and can’t even act for 10sek. And the other Couples literally have no Chemistry hopefully they got acting classes.

R236 he’s so cheesy. It’s cute

can someone please tell me if there’s a chance to see kit at cannes ? cause right know i’m literally in france and would travel to cannes to see him

I'd say he's the most likely cast member to attend, but, nothing has indicated he's going to be there, he's not got a film showing or anything, so personally I wouldn't travel unless there was more concrete evidence, but, up to you

Has anyone noticed the bracelet on Connor's wrist in the picture with Alice? Why do I feel that it is very similar to the Cartier bracelet of Bash? Does anyone have a clearer picture?

You can see it better in this photo, definitely doesn't look like a Cartier bracelet to me

Where’s the bracelet?

R248 think it’s just a random bracelet. I think it’s the same as in this pic

R249 That’s it. Ok, they’re not the same. I have bad eyesight. When I thought they’re familiar, I freaked out a little.

You freak out too easily.

R252 maybe we've been reading it wrong this whole time and Connor and Bash are the couple and Joe is the friend

heartstopper such kiddies who would never consider a slut phase,boring

R254 honest to god there’s a straight onscreen couple in shadow and bone who everyone was convinced were dating. She took him to her hometown in Ireland, they have matching tattoos, hang out with one another’s families, extremely touchy - seemed like they were blatantly together without confirming it; till she brought her actual boyfriend to a premiere last week. Obviously Joe and bash are dating but it would honestly be a little hilarious if it was the same situation with them

Did you mean the blonde woman and the muscle guy I was convinced they were dating… ?

R256 There's no obvious anything, unfortunately. They're elusive enough that this could be the case too. It'd be weird but we don't know them.

R257 yep

R258 I mean fair enough but they’ve been seen kissing in public before (though I guess only deuxmoi) and bash was photographed with his hand on Joe’s ass in front of his mother. If they’re not dating they have the weirdest boundaries of all time

R258 I'd say one of the only absolutely clear signs we have (that obviously isn't confirmed but very likely) is the person who saw them kissing in the Pride VIP tent. And didn't someone from here see them at an Adele concert where they were openly kissing?

Still the best day after Pride i think

R261 I think their friendship was super clear at both the con and brazil so agree they’re top tier days, but the con beats brazil for the addition of Will and bash for me. But god I hate the “cutie patootie” “pookie pie” “babygirl” “he’s a toasted muffin” shit

R262 That's why I want them to act in more serious things. I was looking forward to more hot scenes in S2 but then remembered Alice wrote the scripts...

R58 Talking about that, I saw this comment on a tiktok

R263 That's one of the reasons I really want them as Wiccan and Hulkling together (I know it likely isn't happening and many people here don't want it to), just so we could really make the most of their great chemistry with a good script.

C'mon now y'all are not seriously considering they're not dating.

R264 Is this about Joe and Bash?

R264 With the caveat that they're obviously dating, I think it's hilarious that all of these accounts have been either secondhand or anonymous when it comes to them.

that’s a good thing to read after seeing so much horrible comments about joe on tiktok today

New (old) picture of Joe.

R261 That whole shoot makes me look forward to whatever they'll be doing for S2.

R264 Hearsay. It's impressive that after 2 years we don't have one pic of them kissing.

I want to see this photo of them

Yeah i think they’re good colleagues at least and the comments recently are unnecessarily about them on tiktok and twitter and people should touch grass and leave them alone

R273 Pause the gif at any point and it's basically a picture.

R273 Kit’s expression makes it look like he was forced into being in this picture, smile a little!

R267 Yep

What do you think they would do if pictures of them kissing came out? Do you think they would say something?

R277

I feel like they would ignore it

R277 I doubt it, they didn't say anything about the arse grab photo

Joe hates tabloids. They aren’t going to post anything themselves, and if a tabloid posted something of them they would definitely ignore it. They’ve never tried to hide their relationship, Joe just has very firm lines separating his personal life from his public life. Who he dates is nobody’s business but him and the person he’s dating. He could be 40 years old, married, and have kids and he still isn’t going to talk about his personal relationships publicly.

Didn’t he said it too like i remember it in an interview or something?

R280 There's an oxymoron in your comment. Joe does try to 'hide' his relationship or else he would not be this cautious about the way they look when they're at public events. There's a reason why so many of the casual heartstopper fans think he's single/Bash is only his friend. He's private and that's fine.

R264 Pretty sure they were put up in apartments, not in a hotel.

R283 Lol yeah, good point - I guess there's a small chance they were filming there (for the Paris hotel scenes) rather than staying there, but probably unlikely.

If anything speaks to how low-key they are, it's that a picture of Bash's hand lightly hovering by Joe's ass is referred to as an ass grab picture on here.

Are there any Kit threads cause i low-key feel like here isn’t really my Tea

R286 No, but feel free to bring him up if you have anything you want to discuss, we shift back and forth between Kit/Joe/Bash/sometimes Will pretty quickly.

It was nice when they used to share more. But the Heartstopper fans are crazy so who’s to blame them.

Confused by Aubrey Plaza's story... This looks like the back part of a director's chair? Is she filming something simultaneously?

R289 It could be the rumoured Mephisto special they were allegedly shooting at the same time as Agatha. Or it could be a second code name for Agatha.

R288 So cute. Who was filming this?

R291 pretty sure lucy

I feel bad for the Creator it popped up on my fyp and all these Comments really don’t pass the vibe check at all

does not pass the vibe at all

lot of misspelling so probably kids or younger fans

Christ, one of the commenters is NOT a Joe fan, although, I've definitely seen much worse

I don’t understand the unwillingness of people to believe that Kit and Joe are friends. It’s weird.

R289 just seen on Reddit, it's a play on The Princess Diaries logo, so R290 is right it's another code name for Agatha

R296 It's because all of these teenagers are kids with no social skills or friends so they project on the cast.

R260 Someone saw them at Adele and around town being all touchy feely. There was an old random DLer who saw them holding hands in Chinatown in NY back in the day and didn't know who they were until they saw the threads here too. There's the girl who saw them at plays last summer saying they were clearly dating and not hiding it. There's not just second hand information.

Like are you guys that bored to entertain the idea they aren't dating now. Though I notice it's random new accounts saying this. Go back to twitter girls.

R296 It's usually one extreme or the other. They are best friends/soulmates or Kit hates Joe and is uncomfortable being around him.

R299 It's pretty clear that it's lighthearted and people just messing around - no one's denying that they're actually dating.

R301 Not too sure one person wasn't serious (though I am also bored)

For some reason people have taken to posting the Nick and Charlie kisses in slowmo and not going to lie, David Thackeray kind of ate.

Another one.

All of the kisses are actually pretty good imo, the only one I find a bit odd is the rain one, not sure why just looks awkward

R305 Is that the one Joe didn't like? He mentioned one was awkward or that real people don't kiss like that or something. Maybe I made it up though.

R305 Yeah I always found that one a bit strange, and then when I found out it was the first one they filmed it made way more sense. The rest were great though - and I'm sure many many more to come in season 2.

R306 I think you’re right. I get that they had to be angled a certain way for the shot, but the way they were angled made that kiss a non-starter.

R305 It's because of the camera movement. They had to stay stiff so it looked good. They talked about it in the GQ video.

Wonder what the chances are of Joe going to SDCC in July. Seems too soon even if fans are randomly expecting Agatha news.

R310 My guess would be that we'll actually see him at SDCC in 2024, in advance of a fall 2024 release of Agatha.

Regarding the chat upthread about the conventions. I just had a bunch of post come up on insta of Joe from that day. It must be absolutely exhausting to be constantly touched by strangers. It’s not just casual arms around, people are full body hugging them for long enough to have a picture. I realise it’s good money but it must be very weird if not off putting

I get the feeling by the end of the con he was completely over it. He was always very nice, but he's never as touchy with fans as Kit or Bash is and doesn't seem as comfortable with them physically.

R313 i do agree that Joe isn’t as touchy with strangers as the others but I was really just using Joe as an example because it was his photos. It can’t have been that fun for Kit to have to bear hug every person for a photo either (there’s a joke about Cubs in there). Not to mention all the trauma dumps it sounds like he was subjected to. I think they’ll do big Cons in the future but i think financially it would have to be very attractive and much better run then that chaos

The Brazil con seemed well done and they were treated like huge celebs. I could see that in their future for sure. They even met with fans there, but the fans seemed a lot less insane.

And yes, Kit had to constantly hug random people and got shit recorded when it wasn't supposed to be. The whole getting celebs to pose like dolls and do things you want is just weird to me in general.

Speaking of cons, obviously Kit and Joe are the major draws in the cast, but did Will and Yaz ever even post about the canceled con? How were fans supposed to know about it to go see them? The whole thing was handled horribly.

R315 exactly, and the Brazil photos with fans weren’t weird at all. They weren’t nearly as cute, but what looks cute to us seems like it could be unbelievably awkward in person (and really it was the photos of Kit and Joe without the fans that were the best ones).

R316 Get the impression that cons like that get cancelled all the time. Does anyone remember if either of them posted that they were attending?

For the one Cormac fan, Bradley posted a TikTok.

Cormac looks too young and also appears to be aggressively straight. Didn't know we had a DLer with such taste. I'm appalled.

That’s pretty cute, even if it’s the c team (Sorry Cori and Tobie). Had no idea there was a Cormac fan on these threads.

R319 so aggressively straight. Which I know doesn’t turn off some guys but is such a big no for most

No one is attracted to Bradley in here? He’s not my type but he’s not hideous.

R322

too much of annoying theatre gay energy

Something about his personality is off putting to me. Kills any attraction I might have to him.

R322 no one is brave enough to say if they do and i think a lot of us enjoy the Bradley jokes (i do anyway). I think his energy is what turns most off. I don’t know about others but i’ve known too many insufferable gay boys who he seems to reflect. Poor Bradley

I looked in yesterday and this place was overrun with an influx of fourteen year olds girls so I am guessing by the deafening silence it is now locked

It might be safe to come out of hiding now guys though their has been some truly weird ass posting both here and in Bash’s thread lately

Well according to them Bash is straight or at least in the closet (as per his thread) and only besties with Joe (this one) it's been a wild ride

Maybe we should post really sparingly in this thread to savour the time without trolls.

The deafening silence is more a result of the fact that nothing is going on.

R329 Never usually stops things who needs real world events when you have a dirty mind and a dream

Hopefully, Joe will do more photoshoots this summer. He looks great here.

Joe doesn’t always take the best selfies and photos with fans can be hit or miss, but he always looks amazing in professional photoshoots where the photographer understands how to capture his sharp features. I’m hoping we’ll get lots of magazine interviews/photo shoots this summer.

Yaz has recently been featured in several bigger name magazines. I’m hoping the Joe and Kit cover pages are coming soon.

Yes here’s hoping for more magazine covers and shoots soon. I bought Bash’s Arena Homme + magazine the other day and it’s beautiful and bigger than I expected. It was fun seeing them lined up at the magazine stand.

I’m assuming he’ll do more for HTDBW and Kit for Cuban Girl if they’re scheduled for this early fall. Then Kit, Joe, Yaz will do gay magazines for season 2 promotion in August.

R333 Would love to see Bash, Tanner and Charithra reunited soon.

Tanner's back filming Cobra Kai in Atlanta, or at least were before the writers strike so might be a while sadly

Here’s to hoping Kit stays away from Lewis magazine this time around.

Kit and Joe’s GQ MOTY cover got insane levels of engagement last winter. I’d love to see them both have solo covers of GQ, and also in other Vogue.

R337 Will they have that same amount of engagement now that the hype has slowed down?

R336

I bought one of those magazines, never got it. Thank god for paypal buyer protection

I really want Joe to work with Emilia Staugaard again. She really understood how to make him look as good as he does in motion.

R340 Wow yeah, the first two in particular are beautiful.

Joe just needs to learn not to take selfies like a middle aged man on facebook, but photographers mostly get him right.

R338 Probably not the exact same amount, but I would guess that the engagement would still be pretty significant and that a lot of people who aren’t as engaged with them and with the show right now will reengage with a second season.

A snippet of Yaz’s children’s book narration

In terms of photoshoots, I want one really good Joe and Kit shoot now that they're at peak hotness. GQ was great, but I don't think full potential has been reached yet.

R345 Agreed. I'd also love another great interview like the GQ one.

Some more casting rumors came out today for Okwui Okpokwasili (lady in the middle)

Joe living the dream.

R346 I loved that interview. We got really good insight into them as individuals as well as their dynamic.

Someone check on Kit.

R340 Emilia Staugaard also photographed Bash for Boys by Girls which is one of my favorite shoots of his

R349 Oh hello there. Also, is this Paul's THIRD queer film now? Or is this one of the two already announced? Is the guy trying to tell us something? (Joking... mostly.)

I've just checked and it seems to be one of the films already announced. Still, two ain't bad.

R349 This reminded me, I read an interview with Oliver Hermanus about a month ago where he briefly mentioned how important Heartstopper and that if he had watched Heartstopper at 14 it would have made a difference in his life. (He also skull dragged the shit out of Harry Styles, which sadly wasn’t picked up because the interview is in Spanish.)

Will at Cannes

Seems that Will (and Andrew Scott!) are at Cannes…. I wonder if Kit will show up? Probs v unlikely.

Pic from yesterday too.

R356 Further evidence that there are some outfits only he can make work.

Not that they’re attached at the hip but it seems a bit strange that Will would be in Cannes as the only member of the HS team. How many auditions and meetings could Kit genuinely have? I think he’s a good chance

R358 I think there's a good chance Kit is or was handling a couple of different things while in LA (meeting with his agency; photoshoots for either Heartstopper, or whatever he's doing with JW Anderson, or a miscellaneous Kit-centric shoot not tied to a project; auditions), but the event WIll popped up at isn't an event that really fits into the kinds of things we've seen Kit pop up at. It was a hotel launch party, and Kit usually pops up at fashion events and the occasional theater or movie premiere.

R359 thanks for context. Do you know if the event he was at with Andrew Scott was aligned?

R360 Andrew Scott was at the hotel launch, but in a different outfit. I think the picture of Andrew and Will in tuxes was for the Indiana Jones premiere, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

R361 thanks, and wow, that is a truly terrible suit. Pretty difficult too make Andrew Scott look shit, but here we are

no spotting of him or anything huh? Just his story that he uploaded to ig a couple of days ago?

He’s in NYC now.

Kit just posted to his story - either he's in New York or just has been.

hmm, is anything going on in New York that anyone knows about?

R363 feel like you manifested that NYC post

R365 he usually posts where he is live

Didn’t someone say there was a Loewe event happening in NYC

R368 It happened already and he wasn’t there.

R368

I happened already, it was on the 16th. Unless its a delayed post.

hmm i know he won’t but what if he meets Maia?

Biggest twist would be if he’s visiting Maia….

I wouldn't even know how to narrow down what he could be there for because there's so much that goes on there. It could range anywhere from him wanting to catch some shows on Broadway to work-related things because there's a bunch of fashion and entertainment stuff that goes on there.

I don't think he'd announce his presence in the city if his purpose was to visit Maia, did he ever post from Argentina?

R372

No he never did, it was all fan spottings

R372 Actually a good point, I think he only makes those location posts when he’s traveling for work. Paris for JW Anderson, LA for Loewe, NYC for?

Tbf he posted Los Angeles last year and while he may have signed with WME while there it was primarily a holiday. Doubt he’s visiting Maia, they seem totally done, but could just be a fun trip while he’s already in the states.

Unrelated, but Kit liked a James Marsden fancam.

Fans have started to be annoying again. I don't think he has much free time anyway.

R372 neither of them posted he was there. I don’t think he’s there to see her at, but it would be hilarious if he was. I think if he’s spotted with her it will just be catching up - but provide so much hope to the shippers

R376

Its one of the fashion gays Evan, he was at a couple of the Loewe shows and the event in LA last week.

Sorry for the dumb question, but is Maia in NY at the moment? Is that where she lives or something?

R376 adding James Marsden to the evidence of dark haired, fine featured men Kit’s sm indicates he’s into

R376 I know about Evan, he actually has some sort of relationship with JW Anderson/Loewe like Kit does and that’s how he met Kit. Kit doesn’t usually like his posts so I found his choice of like pretty funny.

R380

she is filming her show there pll

R378 I'm not completely ruling out him seeing Maia, partly because I think he befriended her PLLOS co-stars as well and he might want to see her and meet them, but I get the feeling that's not the primary purpose of the trip.

R380 PLLOS films in the state and she has an apartment in the city, it's where she's usually based out of when she's stateside. Mostly because she's hoping to break through in Broadway, from what I heard.

Would love to see Kit with a guy like James Marsden at some point. Goofy hot guy with muscles who could easily throw him around a bit.

R377 If it was June/July I would be crossing my fingers for Joe to be the one traveling to NYC so they'd get the ball rolling on US press.

Kit being into daddies and older guys isn’t a surprise. Maia is only a few years older but I wonder if he’s also into milfs.

R385 Agree.

Mystery solved. Kit was in NY for a JW Anderson event, but not the one we all knew about.

Another one of him in the background. Anyone recognize the guy he's next to?

It’s been a busy week for Jonathan Anderson in New York. On Tuesday night, he was on hand at the Noguchi museum as Japanese ceramicist Eriko Inazaki took home the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize. And on Wednesday, a very different change of scene: Anderson played host, together with Ssense, to the likes of Jemima Kirke, Tommy Dorfman, Kit Connor, Dominique Jackson, Tyler Mazaheri, Alexander Roth, Lucas Zwirner, Jessie Andrews, Hillary Taymour, Jeremy Kost and more, at East Village gay bar The Boiler Room in celebration of the JW Anderson Bumper Hike sneaker collection.

Glasses of vodka sodas and bottles of Advil lined the room as people danced and mingled as it neared 11 p.m. The Bumper Hike sneaker collection will be available on JW Anderson and Ssense’s respective sites beginning in the fall — but it’s never too soon to celebrate, right?

Kit looks very young in what you can see. The party photos are fun but a mess. No clear Kit pics

Found a video of Kit (side bar, I love that song).

He has a particular glow about him it looks like he has be having a very good time in the US

R392 I need him to get wrecked and I need photos.

R390 Marcos Fecchino.

I think maybe this is someone we all hate (sorry, I'm terrible at remembering half of these people), but I laughed at this tweet.

R397

its funny ngl. its for work but its still a fashion party at a gay bar

R392 Absolutely I am really enjoying Kit’s blossoming relationship with gay bars

R396 I knew nothing about this guy but a quick Google shows he is Argentinian born and New York based, and he is gay but tragically for gossip seems very much attached elsewhere

Unless Kit has found himself his own “grandpa” to show him the ropes

Joe just followed Richard madden. He loves the queer male follow

R397 I agree he’s not visiting maia and also do think if he’s hooking up with people rn it’s men as well as women. But the way people act like he’s been seen shirtless snogging at gay clubs instead of going to Will’s wrap party and a fashion party (where he chose the venue for neither) is so weird. It could be at the Playboy mansion and it would still say 0 about his interests, he didn’t plan the events. Twitter fans are the biggest ones on screeching that kit doesn’t need to prove his sexuality which is true and also seeing each thing he does as proof of how queer he is. Not that DL is always better tbf.

R399 Yeah, he’s engaged and has been with the same guy for 7+ years, but I’m all for Kit making hot gay friends. He needs to follow him back.

R400 It's not entirely surprising, fans are overcompensating because of how he came out and because people still accuse him of queerbaiting to this day. That being said, in lieu of Kit being spotted fucking a guy, Kit aligning himself with such a blatantly gay brand like JW Anderson should be enough for everyone.

R402 tbh it doesn’t annoy me when DL does it because it is predominantly queer men so there’s a lot of fond camaraderie underlying the jokes. The vast majority of the Twitter fans are not queer men and it is way more annoying to me.

R400 He has been seen at a gay bar in London earlier this year and it wasn't for an event. I think people would react the same way if Joe went to a gay bar, even if it was for 'work'.

R402 I don't know what the man needs to do to escape the queerbaiting comments. Joe came out in Tobie's vlogs and no one is questioning him even though we don't have 'proof' that he's gay. Same with Bash. I feel like even if Kit was seen hanging out with a man, people would still say he's faking it.

R404 when was that? I missed it. Yeah maybe re joe but I’d find it equally annoying. I think both are genuinely happy and proud of being queer men but the obsessive way teen girl fans make it their whole identity is really weird to me, idc if DL does it or queer male fans. From a look at that twitter users bio he’s a guy so yeah I’m more chill with him making the joke, it’s fine

R405 I mean I think Kit is 100% bi and thought he was queer before he ever came out. But I would say some portion of them would quiet down if he was with a guy because they’re annoying and feel a right to police the community. and a way way larger number are trolls. Like the 5 million people who call joe ugly, call Kit a queerbaiter, are probably transphobic to Yaz. They’re not the same people, but they’re the same type. They say it to be dicks and get a rise out of people not because they’re invested in any way

R403 yep. It’s mainly hoping he’s getting railed in the stalls (the more explicit of us). Twitter just want him to be there seeing all the wonder (presumably because they’ve never actually been inside a gay bar or club).

Some appear to be trying to inject reality into DL, but i will die on the kit’s slut era hill.

R406 Someone tweeted and deleted that their friend saw Kit at The Cock Tavern in London.

R409 thanks, hope he got the blowjob or fuck of his dreams that night

R400 Lighten up this is a gay gossip board we are going to gossip about a bi guy going to gay bars with hot gay men. I am not interested in Kit fucking women beyond the comedy value in watching his dumbass fan girls cycle between insane jealousy and sycophantic idolisation of any random hook up

As far as I can tell the only thing they are desperate to do is neuter his sexuality by wrapping him in a sanitised asexual view of what a “queer man” is and would literally fucking combust in denial and horror if they were ever faced with the reality of him fucking a man. Especially an older one which is exactly what I think he is most likely to be doing

R411 did you read literally anything else I said or decide to go on a rant for reasons unclear to me. Specifically said twitter teen girls multiple times.

R412 It was a bitch mostly aimed at twitter girls but there were sufficient passive aggressive asides in that post for at least some of it to land at your door

Or if you put it another way you quoted alleged twitter conversations as a means to passively direct what you consider acceptable for us to talk about on DL while attempting to delegitimise speculation directly related to Kit’s relationship to gay male spaces. This gives you the plausible deniability to say “I was talking about what they said dumbass” and think adding that you are sure Kit is hooking up with guys as well as girls as proof it’s not you that has the problem with guys talking about Kit getting railed in the cubicles by a string of hot daddies

And that is not a rant either not even a bitch more of a bored shitless reproof when I would much rather be chatting shit about what Kit may or may not have been doing in the bars of New York than actually writing out an articulation of what I think of that post

Kit without the watermark.

at this point, he's got to be in a new jw/loewe campaign at some point in the futre. he has been at way to any events for it just to be a coincidence.

R413 find it hard to believe you would prefer chatting shit about Kits sex life when you take the time to type out rants like that. Pop on the reading glasses and read the multiple other comments I made explicitly carving out DL and gay fans, and saying I hope he got head or got fucked at The Cock Tavern. Not wanting teen girls to talk about how queer they think men are isn’t delegitimizing his bisexuality,, come off it.

R415 he’s almost certainly in one and I’ve actually liked most of the non drain looks they’ve given him so I’m looking forward to it. Preferably full of tight shirts or none at all

R415 It’s something I’ve been assuming for a while, but flying him out to LA and NYC hammers it in. Are we all still thinking it’s for the JW Anderson/APC collab? I still haven’t seen anyone else wear stuff from it, including the other JW Anderson/Loewe celebs.

R417 I think so. I think one of the things Kit does very well is wear the hell out of basics. He looks hot in a jumper and jeans, for instance. He’d be a good fit for the APC look, generally speaking, in my opinion - but the Loewe connection seals it for me

R417

If anything i’d think it would be that first and then later jw/loewe. there is no trace of that collab existing anywhere besides that one fan photo that caught Kit wearing the collab sweater

Bradley is the theateriest gay to ever gay.

R420

I can’t. the mr cellophane is giving dollar general Kurt hummel. I cringe

R420 Braddie Riches

If you mute and skip parts of it, he's kind of cute

R422 A glowing endorsement if I’ve ever heard one.

R420 It’s weird because Joe is also a theater kid and an extrovert. I wonder why they didn’t click more.

It’s always nice for bash to remember that he doesn’t have any real competition for Joe’s attention with Bradley. Try as he might no one is dumping bash for Bradley

R424 tbh I take joe being an extrovert with a grain of salt - he seems to love spending time with mates and people he loves but is also shyer in interviews and seems to be the most exhausted by fans. He’s always really nice to them and seems grateful, but looked wiped by the end of the con. Don’t think he’s a massive introvert but not Bradley or bash levels of extroverted. Joe seems ok with him though, he’s left nice comments in his IG before.

Bradley seems like the type of person that you could get along with well since he seems nice, but too much Bradley could be horrific.

R424 The entire cast is basically made up of a bunch of theater kid, but no one is as full-on as Bradley. I'm guessing he's someone most of them can handle in smaller doses. He at least seems to get on really well with Leila and Cori. I'm actually surprised that out of Joe, Kit, Bash, and Will, Kit wound up being the one who seems to get along best with Bradley.

Another possible clue pointing towards Kit in a Loewe or JW Anderson campaign, the stylist that styles all of the campaigns for both houses follows Kit.

This made me laugh.

Today is the last day to send a message to this woman for the Bash book - she says she hasn’t had loads of messages (but all meaningful) so it’d be nice to get a few more. You just DM her so don’t need to reveal your identity to people on here or anything.

I just messaged her. Me among the messages from young girls will be funny I’m sure. But my message was very family friendly 😆

R432 that’s a shame. Maybe someone should go back through the threads and collate all of the most imaginative and vivid comments DL has made about Bash’s enormous dick. I’m sure he’d love it

R433 Every guy likes to know his dick is appreciated

This tweet is hilarious! All the comments are saying Young Royals is better and Alice is a prude and the characters in YR are the same age as Nick and Charlie. I laughed a little.

Agree with the latter two points, but YR is boring as shit.

As far as I can tell from glancing at their profile this person is somewhere in Europe so if they're right, NYC trip is over.

R437 haven’t looked much at his profile but his bio has about 6 US sports teams including a university team, so I’d guess he’s in the states

R438 He was in Spain on the 16th.

R439 If anyone knows what the logo on the white thing on the table is for his location could be narrowed down, but it looks like R437 is right about Europe.

R439 my bad you’re right

R440 the beer glass is for Estrella Damm. It’s a Barcelona beer so think Spain is right. Obviously idk if it’s actually kit he saw but interesting if so

Loewe’s based out of Madrid so it’s not totally out of the question, but who knows.

"We grazed elbows lmao"

Scruffy Bash today:

So hot with the stubble.

Now, i’m 80% sure this Derek guy will play hulking. Or Joe just finds him hot.

I agree with you, I think he's Hulkling or at least in the show somewhere

He looks like a giant himbo, so I can see it. I'm warming up to the idea. People will cry that he's too old though. I'm still hoping for an after credit scene of Billy and Teddy meeting.

I think if he just found him hot he could go like his thirst traps pics and not the ones with his boyfriend. Unless he finds them both hot. Possible.

He's so inactive on Insta I'd be surprised if it was just a random thirst like it seems more like someone he's working with currently, where he's making an effort lol

Hadn't it already been semi confirmed that Hulkling won't be in this series, and will be introduced elsewhere?

R450 Sort of. The last comments I saw were he wasn't cast and they weren't even looking, which seems unlikely. The same leakers also said Billy would not be in Agatha either once upon a time.

R446 I went on the thirst farmer's Instagram to see how often Joe likes his stuff and he's liked 5/10 of his most recent posts so he's not totally inactive when it comes to thirst likes. Between that and the fact that the Chadwick guy is too old and a terrible actor, I'm going with thirst like.

R446 The way I stared at this post for a minute trying to figure out what it was that made you sure he’s Hulkling and realized it was just Joe’s like. I got scared for a second.

If Derek wasn't overly waxed and manicured I'd say he just finds him hot, but he's not really his usual type of follow. All this would not be a question if the man had some hair on his body.

Yeah if Derek was hairy I wouldn’t question it for a minute. But it does give me pause.

Dylan Geick isn’t exactly super hairy, so I’m not writing off Joe being blinded by the physique.

R455 I mean, look at him. His legs are hairy though so not completely hairless.

R456 I was going to say, Geick's hair is mostly concentrated on the legs so if Joe was just admiring the chest, I don't think it would be a huge deterrent. And I don't think Joe is as specifying when it comes to his type as Bash is.

They’ll never be back at small cons again with how popular they were at a big one.

R456 Dylan is actually hot though. tbh it's some projection on my part since I find Derek pretty unattractive.

R459 I'd say they can save little cons for everyone else, but... seems like that's not working out. Though that latest con seemed like they couldn't get anyone.

R460 I'm not saying that a con would ever make as much money as it would with Kit and Joe, but there were things they could have adjusted that would have made it more feasible. For one thing, have the actors attending actually post about and advertise their appearance to their millions of followers. For another, hold it in the country where the show is most popular so more people attend because people are less likely to travel to another country for supporting characters.

R460 I find him creepy-looking, so I get you.

Something about extremely straight Cormac being trotted out for the gay events cracks me up.

I just realized that Kit liked this post. That’s sweet. I always wondered what he thought of all the discussion his coming out tweet generated.

R464

I doubt we ever will get his thoughts on the matter. maybe in an interview or a memoir book years in the future

R465 Don't you think this round of interviews for S2 will touch on it? It feels like malpractice for none of the more serious journalists to ask him about it. I'd be shocked if he doesn't have to talk about it at some point this summer.

Netflix PR could hypothetically block questions about it, but I think it’ll be addressed if he does a solid sit-down interview, something at the caliber of GQ. It won’t be addressed in any of the typical promo video interviews.

The attention and furor over it must have been pretty overwhelming. He had everyone from MPs to celebrities he never met offering words of encouragement. Every major outlet wrote about it. The tweet got up to a million likes.

R467 There's no shot he's going to get away with not addressing it when he's with a serious publication. I know that his PR team could blacklist the topic but that would be too crazy because it was too big of a story. He also seemed to bounce back quickly after the tweet and referred to himself as bisexual unprompted in that Critics Choice interview so I'm thinking it wasn't so traumatic he will refuse to talk about it.

R469 Yeah, I don’t think he’ll go out of his way to blacklist it but if his team and Netflix PR are worth anything, there’s a strategy in place to address it, likely in print and they already have a publication in mind.

Agree that if Netflix has the smarts they will have an avenue for him to address it in a very controlled way so that they can move on to puppy interviews and Fallon. Not that it’s particularly comparable but Tom Holland did a GQ article that came out at the time of the last Spider-Man, where he addressed his relationship (vaguely) and then was able to give fairly non comital answers about Zendaya during the press tour because he’s said something about it. It worked okay. Netflix seem to be working closely with Vogue at the moment which might be a good choice.

British Vogue wouldn’t be a terrible bet, the piece they wrote about his coming out is one of the few Kit acknowledged. He liked the post about it on Instagram.

I thought he already talked about it a few times. Maybe I imagined it.

R473 People around him have talked about it (Olivia, Alice). He pretty much rolled straight into explicitly talking about himself as a member of the community, but hasn't addressed his coming out (to my knowledge).

Kit followed Marcos Fecchino back, almost didn't notice because his following count didn't change.

This isn’t a slight on Kit, but he is very good at answering a question but not really answering it at all - I assume because it’s a little too personal. In the first round of promo, every time he was asked ‘are you similar to Nick/how do you relate to his story?’, he’d answer and yet I’d get almost nothing from his response. ‘Nick is a very relatable character, so many people can relate to him’ etc. So while I agree that he’ll likely be asked about it in a couple of the more serious interviews, I wouldn’t be that surprised if he answers in a polite but deliberately vague way.

But having said that, sometimes he answers very directly and intelligently, like in the Zoom interview where he talked about fame and ‘feeling like everything you do is a mistake’. So hard to gauge which way it will go. I’m very curious about his thoughts on it though.

R476 I have a feeling it’s something he’ll want to address head-on at least once, but who knows?

Rhea booked a movie.

She's been steadily working to be fair to her, I actually thought she was okay in HS, she's definitely a stronger actress than Yaz in my opinion

Bash, Eileen and the cast taking their bows last night

Bash tonight after the play:

He just keeps getting hotter, please boys let me be a fly on the wall when Joe comes back properly

Those middle aged women look smitten. The audience demographics seem to skew pretty old

A little video of Bash receiving his little book of fan messages - he’s very sweet. I hope he reads them all.

R483 Is it just me or he looks skinnier?

Receiving the fanbook

R484 Those pants look big and make him look a bit smaller, but not overall:

R485 How lovely is he in that video, he's so polite.

Bash needs to wear pink more often. I really like those trousers too.

He looks really tired. I don't think the facial hair suits him, but I know that's a personal preference thing.

This is really cute. He’s so hot

Spot Will at Cannes.

R492 it’s funny he’s been around the shadow and bone cast so much. I do think it’s totally unrelated but for a while he’s been a popular fan cast for a character in what the spinoff would be if it’s developed

Found Kit a boyfriend. And he’s french!

R494 is that kits type? Based on the Paul Mescal and Hugh grant type I figured more the light brown floppy hair type, that looks more like bash’s type. If likes or something have suggested that’s Kit’s I’m coming right back to the “he doesn’t thirst comment for Joe because he finds him hot” theory just for fun

R495 He's liked a number of posts of thin guys with curly hair (Conan Gray, Jack Dylan Grazer off the top of my head) and the guy he checked out at that market was also thin with curly hair. Not sure if we've nailed down a type for him exactly, but there's a bit of a pattern there.

The cast all like post from Conon Gray. I'd still say that guy isn't his type judging by other guys he's liked posts of and talked about.

In other news, here’s the new Patreon for those interested. Can’t say i’m enjoying this.

R498 I cackled at her adding in "some queer people don't even like penetration" PSA at least

R498 Alice representing side pride randomly

R500 Who told Alice about sides, Patrick? Connor?

Not about any of the guys, but this is really sweet.

R500 side Nick Nelson makes a lot of sense

R501 Do we know if Patrick has a boyfriend?

He's probably got an aging Nick Nelson-ish looking boyfriend.

R503 The only time he’s taken someone to an event is when he took Arvand Khosravi to the Emmys, but I’m pretty sure they’re just friends. He lives in LA and doesn’t look like he’d be Patrick’s type.

R498 I can’t seem to open the pages. Mind posting them again?

Is what's-her-face getting them deleted from here? Wow.

Bash’s mom was at the play yesterday:

I don’t think I’ve seen this pic of Joe before? From an old photoshoot, I believe, so not actually new.

It's not new to us, it's an older picture that's been flipped and cropped.

Quick Instagram update. Kit and Joe are both still steadily losing followers, about 30-40k away from dropping down to where it's noticeable. Will and Bash both dropped to where it's reflected in their profiles (Will from 2M to 1.9M, Bash from 1.9M to 1.8M). Netflix needs to release stills or something.

It will also help when promo starts and they're more active on Instagram

R508 it’s nice she was there on a day that he got the fan book and gifts, and flowers. For all that the people who loathe him are obviously .01 percent of the fans overall, it still must be hard as a parent to see or hear about that. So nice she saw a more respectful fan

Will with "Guest" who I think is the Leyla girl?

R514 yeah that’s her. Him hard launching first is a plot twist though to be fair people are far less invested in his personal life

She's a bit weird-looking, he can do better.

R516 Kit is a DL lurker, confirmed.

Bash's friends went to see the play yesterday

ok so some of the wme guys that kit was with last weekend are in Cannes right now as well. maybe he will make an appearance

These fans need to realize Yaz and Joe are not that close anymore.

I think they are still close. He's the only one who got a birthday message from her and she was pretty cheesy with it if I remember correctly.

R521 yeah you’re right. I think she’s clearly very fond of him; he and to a more limited extent bash are the only two she’s really interacted with for a while besides likes online, and she went to tha small Halloween thing

R521 To be fair, that was like 8 months ago. Who knows if they've drifted apart since - there certainly hasn't been much sign of a connection, but of course that doesn't mean they aren't regularly in touch privately.

R523 I take your point but to be fair it’s hard to point at anyone and joe right now and say they’re extremely close, because he hasn’t been home for more than a few days since Jan. No one besides Bash has been to visit joe in the US, for instance (or at least that we know of). I think a lot of them are probably closer and hang out more onset than off but think they’re genuinely pretty fond of one another with varying levels of closeness. From what we’ve seen I think joe remains her favorite cast member

We don't see Joe do anything. If you judge him by social media you'd think he dislikes Bash. Joe's obviously someone she's fond of over everyone else in the cast.

R520 They're probably still fond of each other. Yaz is probably closest to Joe out of the cast, but not close overall. She seems to have her group of friends in London she's close to and the Heartstopper cast she's around and friendly with while they're shooting.

I think she just likes to do her own thing and sees the cast as her work friends. She did like and comment on Bash’s recent post and seems supportive of the cast.

If people said this about Joe and Kit people here would lost their shit

Probably, but Yaz seems uniquely distant from the cast and from the show itself out of the cast.

R528 Unfortunately a couple probably would but that would be a reflection of their need to spend more time offline. For the most part this place manages to keep itself a little above the level of twitter hysterics over Joe and Kit’s friendship

It really isn’t that complicated they have been through a life changing experience together and get on well very similar to people who have been through university together just on a more intense scale. They will always remain fond I am sure and get together when they can but they will inevitably grow apart as work, family and relationships shift and they grow up

That is what happens in life and it will happen with all the cast this period with Joe in the US and all their social and professional lives taking them in different directions is just a foreshadowing of what will happen when they finally wrap

The more volatile elements of the fanbase should probably start processing that and refocusing on living vicariously through the fictional characters instead of the actors

So maybe Kit is still in the us? I think this was meant for Soho nyc, not London?

He said NYC.

Kit with a fan in NY "like three days ago" (daryafedya on Instagram).

The fan was asked in the comments if he was alone and the fan said yes.

R522 The Halloween party was when they were shooting. I'm sure she's still good friends with Joe but I doubt they're close like they were when they filmed season 1. She likes to post a lot, unlike the rest, and we see her hanging out often with friends. She's never really seen with anyone from the cast. And she wasn't at Bash's big birthday party.

R533A wild freckled ginger

Maia was in NYC yesterday I'm pretty sure, though assuming they didn't meet and it's beyond dead since she's off with another man in NY.

hmmm wonder when he will leave, id assume its some kind of mini vacation considering i don’t think there any any other fashion events going on rn, with everybody being in cannes at the moment

R536 Part of me wondered if they would meet up as friends, especially since new dude isn't in NY anymore (?), but Maia is high-key obsessed with the other guy. She visited him in Miami and I noticed that she went back and was commenting on old posts being thirsty. He wasn't posting her in a platonic way, either. But it's hilarious seeing people on Twitter who still think Kit has a thing with her.

R537 Sounds like he’s exploring and doing his own thing like he did in Venice.

R533 Nice pic - not sure if it's just the light but that's the most prominent I've seen his freckles in a while. I wonder what the heck he's doing there.

R538 someone on here described their interest in Maia’s new thing as the equivalent of office gossip and i couldn’t agree more. In no other scenario would i care about the relationship of her demographic of starlet but because of Kit, and because this guy couldn’t be more different I’m invested in figuring out if they are serious or not. It’s enjoyable because of the the absolute lack of action from the cast (apart from Will’s hard launch of his LTR)

[quote]he was so nice!! I was really nervous so I just talked for a while, but he was super chill about it:))

R533 some might say he looks tired because of work but i’m saying it’s further proof of slut era being in full swing

The TERFs found out about Yaz in Doctor Who and are being unhinged. I’ve been reporting the replies but I don’t think they get taken down under Elon’s regime.

R538 Kit is better than me. I would have blocked/unfollowed her a long time ago. Nothing personal, I just hate seeing my ex online when he's all over someone else.

R543 My first reaction was he looked a little wrecked in the trashy I haven’t seen the sun for a week way a nineteen year old should. I hope he is having fun whatever he is up to

R544 I thought they got that out of their system when it was first announced. I must say with RTD back in charge and Ncuti and Jinkx on board I am really looking forward to the new series

R545 I think it helps immensely that they were in an open relationship, seemingly on the same page about it not being serious, and that he's hot as fuck and can pull whoever, whenever. He also still follows her finsta, where I imagine she's more blatant about new guy.

R547 agree but still incredibly mature of him. Very easy to say you’re okay with an open relationship (especially when as young as Kit) but still be hoping it’s a more serious thing. Particularly mature, as her thirst comments on this guys Insta are a lot more overt than any of the insta stories she did with emojis and Kit. And as you say, her finsta is probably worse

He probably doesn't give a shit. It was a very short hookup that didn't work out. He seems more unbothered than her since he still likes her posts. Unfollowing a costar would also be a bit dramatic. I do want some gossip about how awkwardly bad their little Argentina vacay was though since they cooled off quickly after that.

R549 I would argue that it worked out for what it was. I doubt either of them were thinking about anything serious. Especially Kit. And I think they were okay for a while after the trip since they were still commenting and stuff, it seemed like they cooled off towards the end of the year.

It would be funny if after a string of open relationships it’s a musician that Maia tries to nail down into monogamy. I doubt that would work out for her.

R542 The person asking what Kit smells like…

I’m inclined to agree with the DLer who thinks that having Kit’s name in the headline of her Teen Vogue article probably didn’t help. She’d reportedly (as in, i read it here) had been a bit put out that people implied she was using him for fame. Which was a shit thing to say but as we know, Kit’s young fans can be dicks

R553 yeah I tend to agree. Honestly he’s the more talented of the two clearly imo, and I have close to 0 real interest in her, but I think because kit had the coming out as an indirect result of their thing which was awful, people overlooked how much shit she was getting too. People were calling her a queerbaiter as well despite her being out for years and having hooked up with women/talking about it, Teen Vogue - which in recent years has sold itself as extremely progressive - made an article about her career include kit in the title and interview, she was called a groomer by his insane fans, and people said she was using him for clout.

I agree with others that I doubt anything dramatic happened but tbf while I have 0 sexual attraction to her, she, like kit, is really hot and seems to have a fun personality. Not surprised that not continuing something across the ocean that got her endless shit is less appealing than an on hand hookup with someone with no crazy fans, and not surprised kit doesn’t seem especially torn up about it given he’s hot, talented, fun, and busy

R554 imagine calling a 22 year old a groomer for dating an 18 year old. Not to sound like a fawning Kit fan, but he’s clearly has a much older vibe than he is too. Really speaks to how old a lot of his fans are, if 22 seems ancient.

R555 not even the 22/18 thing but legit colleagues. I agree not a creepy age gap but also it’s not like they met when she was 17 and he was 13. It’s like a senior in college dating a freshman, not rare, met over legal age, not unusual

R556 fans who are kids not out of home yet, and not in college. Probably no idea that those very prescriptive age delineations you have at high school have much less influence as you get older. It’s amazing really how much clout they are attributed with - self fulfilling really, as then people do start listening to them.

I don't have any particular interest in Kit joining the Scream franchise, but I do want to see him play some sort of killer.

He should join Bridgerton as a Featherington relative. I want to see his bare ass basically, only reason to watch that show

R559

I could only watch the queen charlotte& simone/jb season. idgaf about the rest of them.

I watched 3 episodes of Bridgerton when it first came out. I couldn’t bring myself to watch the rest and haven’t watched the subsequent season or spin-off, either.

I don't know if it's a British thing, but Kit, Joe, Will, and Bash all have faces and hair that would fit a period piece.

Yeah, Bridgerton isn’t for me but seeing Jonathon Bailey’s arse within seconds of the first ep was a nice surprise. Unfortunately it couldn’t make up for such for so heterosexuality, and I also couldn’t get past ep. 3

R562 they really do, Bash especially. I think about that tweet that said some actress wasn’t believable in a period piece because “that face has seen an iPhone”. That lot is sort of the opposite

I got through S1/S2 recently since Rege and Jonathan Bailey being naked were enough to keep me interested for a time. The last 3 episodes were a struggle though since the romance is your typical escapism bodice ripper bullshit not worth thinking about much. Jonathan Bailey really sells being straight though.

QC is supposed to be the best written so going to try that next and Corey is really hot.

pquote][R533] some might say he looks tired because of work but i’m saying it’s further proof of slut era being in full swing

He's tired because of the WERK

*Alexa, play Oxytocin by Billy Eilish*

R565 as little as I care about most straight stories I will say the Queen Charlotte couple sold the chemistry and Corey is hot. There’s a gay sideplot but you don’t see much of it so not that exciting

Just saw that it's been 6 months since Joe last uploaded on his IG. You wouldn't know Kit and Joe are 19 with the lack of selfies they post—a real shame.

The luckiest people are the ones that can see their Instagram Stories on their finstas.

Still surprised that Kit made that very Gen Z post with the casual pictures of him plus the baby picture

R565 my Work Wife who doesn’t really have much connection to the queer community outside me had no idea Jonathon Bailey was gay after Bridgerton S2. Essentially refused to believe me, which was hilarious.

Joe’s sm is annoyingly quiet. So close to a topless selfie the other day - such a brat

Photo from I’m guessing last summer or fall

November 2022, not sure why people always withhold sources and information on Twitter.

I'm looking through Patrick's Instagram out of boredom and 1) just noticed that he made the thumbnail of the S2 video Kit (which made me laugh), 2) he really is basically Charlie in real life.

R574 you’d guess he’d favour Joe as younger him but I suppose thirst for the athlete type and jealousy of the younger hotter twink overrides that

R575 not just Kit, but Kit and Rhea. Imogen being the true breakout character that she is

R575 I genuinely don't think Patrick is jealous of or dislikes Joe at all. He's always been complimentary of him and never shown any sort of animosity or negative feelings towards him. I think he just likes Kit more.

R576 I completely forgot about Patrick liking and replying to tweets about Imogen. His new fave.

R577 I think you’re right re just liking kit more but think 1. It’s unprofessional to show it so clearly 2. It’s funnier to invent beef and jealousy rumours

I really hope they don’t push the Nick and Imogen friendship at the expense of his friendship with Tara.

R579 the show doesn’t give the lesbians a lot, as is (not to mention resentment around its renewal). Sidelining the lesbian POC character in favour of a white het (or possibly bi) girl getting more screen time seems like a mistake.

R580

If they do go down that route, i can see Alice getting some pushback on that. Ive already seen some rumblings on that

In other news, looks like Joe is making friends with some Atlanta gays

R581 Joe is so funny, he did that thing where he went back and liked an old picture again. This time one from 11 weeks ago. Interestingly, that guy followed Joe back but also followed Kit right before following Joe.

Could you imagine if Kit is in Atlanta? That shit would be hilarious just for the reactions online.

R582 excellent rumour to start - Joe and Kit are together in Atlanta hanging out with local gays

R584 Joe wingmanning for Kit at ATL gay bars would be excellent.

That Nick guy is an OF gay, by the way.

I hold steadfast in my belief that Joe is the one guy from the cast with the biggest potential for a slut era.

R583

I would be all for that rumor if it wasn’t for that Kit spotting in soho today

R586

Did not expect Joe to be making friends with the OF gays

R587 Wouldn't surprise me. He seems the horniest out of all of them.

R588 It's about a 2 hour flight from NYC to ATL, so it's not totally implausible. That being said, I'm 100% more invested in this possibility now that we've figured out that the ATL gay is an OnlyFans gay.

I doubt Kit's in ATL. He would have followed back

It took him a couple of days to follow Marcos Fecchino back after the JW Anderson party.

I hope the Twitter stans don’t blow up Joe’s spot again. Let him follow the OF gays in peace.

OF gay IG account is boring so I doubt they care. I'd guess Joe was more annoyed by the Taylor fans making a big deal out of the follow than HS fans anyway.

I’ll start a new thread but can we try not to engage with the twitter teen who has found her way here and kicked off the are Bash and Joe actually together nonsense (tried to get into if Kit was actually bi the thread before that). About half of her posts sound normal but she gives herself away (particularly liked asking if there was a Kit thread because this wasn’t her tea). I’m on shaky ground passing comment as I engaged a couple of threads ago and the temptation to tell her to fuck off is high. Let’s all try to be the change

Looks like Agatha filmed yesterday (Sunday) the guy who works on set doesn't seem to really do latergrams and posted on set yesterday, which is possible so close to the end of shooting

R597 I think they'll finish by the end of the month.
