Alice Oseman - Blog Posts

Started “Loveless” by Alice Oseman last night and now it’s 3 am and I’m on page 312. Needless to say, I love it.👏👏👏👏👏🧡💛🤍🩵💙

If my life was a movie my phrase at the end would definitely be

“It's funny because it's true.”

this panel is so beautifully drawn. before this, the other panels are more zoomed in on the two of them, but this one takes quite a few steps back and they seem so small.

the way it shows tori so small immediately sent my brain to making a connection to how she might feel alone in this because she doesn’t have many/any people to talk to who will understand aspec identities in general (PLEASE GO BECOME BEST FRIENDS WITH ALED PRETTY PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU-), and her and charlie are the only two in the panel, alone in the world. there’s so many other people there but they’re separated. just like there’s so many people in the lgbtqia+ community but aspec people often feel set apart and are often less understood or less accepted overall.

not to mention how the speech bubble is (proportionally) so large in this panel compared to the others. this is like, woah, it’s a scary thing to say, but you said it. and they’re at the top of the ferris wheel and the climax/breaking point of their conversation. tori figured herself out, she knows that she’s ace, and i have a feeling telling this to charlie is so freeing to her and takes such a weight off of her chest.

I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS WHILE TYPING - the two birds in the top corner are little bits of tori and charlie. one of them is the weight lifted from tori, she’s letting it go, setting it free, and the other is a bit of charlie going with that bird to help it and guide it through the sky to a safe place, he’ll help her feel safe and loved no matter what. i love them so much.

(Comfort Characters part 2.) Charlie Spring.

I was introduced to Heartstopper by the Netflix series but after seeing season one a couple times I found the web comic and bought all the books. I adore both the comics and the show and Charlie is my favourite, I relate to him a little too much sometimes. I tried mixing my art style with Alice's for this drawing, don't know if I succeeded though. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Manifesting 🤞🤞

It's the same picture your honor

Please let imogen be bisexual in s3 🙏

surprise! get a compliment!

you are automatically super cool bc you are a noahfinnce fan

Thank you oh my flip (I'm aware it's been months)

Mother,the fact that I haven't felt emotion in two weeks is simply a Tori spring reference!!!!You wouldn't get it!!!

Thought for the day: am I a manically depressed psychopath?

FR LIKE IT'S SO DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER STUFF FROM ALICE BUT IT'S SO GOOD

am I the only one who thinks iwbft is super underrated? 😭

Tori Spring absolutely dying of laughter on the floor (Someone said something factual)

I have begun yearning to read radio silence again but I don't have an available copy in my vicinity :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLE 💜

she's like SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL <33

Apologies to everyone who signed up for osemanverse stuff and got me ranting about Midwestern emo

Reading Loveless again:Very subtle IWBFT reference but I loved it (Georgia said she was reading a Lister x Rowan au fic(I think))

I'm currently reading loveless By Alice Osman and I personally think it's a good representation of convincing yourself and others that you have a crush (Or crushes) When you're ace/aro

When Alice Oseman takes over your drawings: part 2 :) I've wanted to draw Angel for a little while now, and I finally got around to it! For her sexuality I wasn't too sure because it didn't say anything on the wiki, so I'm open for any suggestions

@o-kye

I'm rereading Radio Silence, and I am immediately reminded why I love this book - not more than solitaire but still.

This has been when I have realised that, no, I am not okay, I burry myself in fictional worlds to avoid my own lel. I am full of angst, and it's really cringe, but at least I'm self aware???

When Alice Oseman takes over all of your drawings

Neither of us are straight, Charlie.

I went a bookstore today and someone put out This Winter before it comes out

just Nick and Charlie being so cute 🙏

"I don't want people te be worried about me, there's nothing to worry about. I don't want people to try and understand why I am the way I am, because I should be the first person to understand that, and I don't understand yet. I don't want people to interfere. I don't want people in my head picking out this and that permanently picking up the broken pieces of me."

– Solitaire, Alice Oseman.

Relatable.

This LGBT+ society has Loveless vibes 😍😁🫠😲

Alice Fucking Oseman made me know pain and joy lol

Tab system:

Orange: "Wait, That's Me." (Relating too hard to Georgia)

Yellow: "Ace Pain." (i.e. "Being asexual, I felt that, ouch")

Green: "Ace Joy." (i.e. "Being asexual, I felt that, thank you Alice :)")

Light Pink: "RAGE" (Getting angry at the scenario or characters)

Dark Pink: "Outlier" (Moments I will probably quote or wish happened to me, like having a Pip, Rooney, Jason, Sunil, Jess or Ellis)

+ page 5: Alice, when I catch you, Alice.
