ginger boy: i have a crush on him don’t embarrass me
the heart: you wanna see some real speed

[melonfox]

Everyone: **talking about how cute this is**
Me: **still confused where the apple went**

[d.j.m]

No this is the real definition of “the ❤ wants what it wants” absolutely amazing even 6 years later

[chloescent]

Sherwin: "I'm scared to come out! I don't know how!"

Heart: *"check this out."*

[SKStar-zfvn]

"How many times have you watched this?"

Me: Yes 🙂

[alicia]

apple : doesn't fall down

isaac newton: *am i a joke to you?*

This man, at the speed of light, threw himself into a trashcan and closed the lid. I am impressed.

I know the whole point of this is to show that being homosexual is ok but can we appreciate how good the character design and animation is

[Sillypoopoo]

Before I knew what Heartstopper was, this was it for me

[jordanrainey]

Ginger: *blushes in gay*
The Heart: "So, anyway I started running"

[sirfurbingtontherd]

Can we just appreciate how smoothly Sherwin yeeted himself into that trash can? Damn, I wish I could do that.

[thorvidarr]

I still feel bad about the hate this piece got when it first came out. To all you who are still in love, stay strong and work towards your goals.

[Notusimgthisqnymore]

This was the first video that I saw that represented being queer and I will forever be grateful for this animation

[Amiinot]

Ginger: so my heart went out of my chest

[sureshsiriwardana]

[AdelynnGuillaume-kewn]

Can we talk about how he was spinning the apple on his finger without even looking?

[Lisa-hkqj]

Why am I crying??? Who’s chopping onions near me?? What a sweet little movie❤

Sees crush.

Let’s be honest, In A Heartbeat walked so Heartstopper could run
