While a great deal of Heartstopper consists of romantic teenage love, kisses and cuddles, ever-building tension between friends-turned-lovers, and an all-around bubbly atmosphere, a sprinkling of more tender moments lead to a tear or two…if not full-blown waterworks. Heartstopper fans have taken to Twitter to note the season 2 moments that made them cry.

All the queer representation in Heartstopper is beautiful, but seeing Isaac's journey to discovering his sexuality is just something else. Just casually crying at 1am over the aroace representation I never thought I'd see onscreen. 🧡💛🤍🩵💙#Heartstopper #HeartstopperS2 pic.twitter.com/emfruHg6Vy
