ONE DAY
“If you muck me about, Dexter.” “I won’t-“ “I mean it, if you lead me on or let me down or go behind my back, I will murder you. I swear to God, I will eat your heart.”
“I won’t do that, Em.” “You won’t?” “I swear, I won’t.”
And then she frowned, and shook her head, then put her arms around him once more, pressing her face into his shoulder, making a noise that sounded almost like rage. “What’s up?” he asked. “Nothing. Oh, nothing. Just…” She looked up at him. “I thought I’d finally got rid of you.” “I don’t think you can,” he said.
her lil wispy bangs were so cute
Both the hunger games before and now the ballad of songbirds and snakes proves that the young adult genre can produce some genuinely good storytelling while also examining social issues without talking down to its audience, which makes the ungodly amount of popular bad ya novels all the more embarrassing.
name something more iconic than a queer love confession followed by an arrest while strawberry kisses is playing
Okay I don’t want to hear a single person ever say again that having representation is too much on a TV show or not realistic because heartbreak high had autistic representation, lesbian representation,  non-binary representation, asexual representation, Aboriginal representation, and Asian representation all in one show and not for one fucking second did I think this is unrealistic, especially in a Sydney based school. That is exactly what kids are like and is exactly what real life is like!!!!!
Omg Australian schools let you dress so freely
LET ME WEAR SHORTS AMERICA
Here in the states my teachers made ONLY the girls lift their arms up before boarding the bus for a school trip to see if any belly skin was peeking, used a ruler to measure our shorts length, used a half sheet of paper as a test to see if our bags were too big 😭😭😭
Shorts or crop tops you were sent to the principals office then came back wearing PE clothes
Ofc no spaghetti straps
I need yalls to tell me if my school was nuts or was it like this elsewhere
Oh no no no. Majority of schools in Australia have uniforms, even public schools! Not sure why they wear mufti clothes on the show possibly to show character personality better? Idk. But yeah we’d have to wear uniform with black leather shoes to school lol
i've missed watching aussie shows. where else are you going to accurately hear people going: "yeah, nah!" lol
also i think a lot of young folks on tumblr might take the wrong lessons away from quinni and sasha
quinni deserves so much more than sasha; she deserves a partner. all people deserve a partner. not someone who condescends to them and gets off on feeling morally superior for fucking someone who isn’t neurotypical
quinni is a queen and sasha is a mean person who needs to figure out how to be kind and rewind

HEARTBREAK HIGH (2022 - PRESENT)
Ayesha Madon as Amerie Wadia and Thomas Weatherall as Malakai Mitchell in Season 1, Episode 1 - dir. Gracie Otto
perhaps Heartbreak High is a masterpiece, having a love confession immediately followed by an arrest with Strawberry Kisses by Nikki Webster playing over the top
