Welcome to this week's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, I am talking with my friend Caitlin about asexuality in Heartstopper. In other words, we're talking about Isaac's journey and her thoughts about that journey. We also talk a little bit about Agatha All Along.

During the episode, we mainly end up looking at various scenes of the show that highlight Isaac and his journey. Here are those clips. These clips are from the YouTube account FandomVids, which is an account that has videos of various characters and ships from various tv shows. They break everything down into playlists based on character/ship, so there are a couple in here labelled "Narlie" because that is the only place I could locate any season 3 video clips on their site. You'll need to search through to find the Isaac scene, but it's all there. I will see if I can get the clip to start at the right moment, but I've never tried that before, so no promises.
