tess ^_^

OH MY GOD NOT THR ‘YOU’RE NICK AND CHARLIE!!!!’ WE ARE TRULY COMING INTO THE NICK AND CHARLIE ERA THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

soph

WELP NOT THE LOOK FROM ELLE

eve

oh not the “you’re nick and charlie” this is feeling way too much like N+C novella territory 😭

Merel

Oh babies 🥹 There will be some bumps in the road, but it will work out in the end I promise <3

Gaba

Elle also seems to be worry looking at Tao. That seems like a first.

Dionne Lakey

It begins: "You're Nick and Charlie" 🥺 Also this phrase and the name of the novella is probably why there is no fixed ship name for Nick and Charlie in the fandom.

Rainbow

IS TAO A HOTDOG??? 😭

Gray

I went back to look at the hotdog 😭😭 tbf I didn’t even notice the costume being wrong

BEL

Love the expression on Elle’s face as she sees her ‘forever’ talking to Charlie’s parrot!! 😅

Charlie

Oh Elle, open your eyes. You’re normally so in tune with these things. Look at Nick, he’s struggling. 😢

Barb

"Nick and Charlie" with "together forever" is my fave kind of sentence🥰.... but why does it feel Nick looks worried🥺?

Victoria Panaro

Is it the first "you are Nick and Charlie" that we get in the comics ? 🫠🥹😍😍🍂🍂🍂

Chloe ♡

‘you’re nick and charlie’ exactly they are nick and charlie™️

Sarah 🤍

elle’s having doubts oh no 🥺

Merel

Sorry this page is very emotional but Tao in his hotdog costume seemingly talking animatedly to Charlie's bird is taking me out 😭

Luke

I think he’s worried about how it will be when he and Charlie are long distance next year since they’re used to being with each other every day

Tatiana Karika

Not @ the Nick and Charlie novella canon events appearing in Volume 6 😭😭😭

gabs

elle literally giving the "you're nick & charlie" speech just like aled gave to charlie oh alice you are a genius

Merel

Is Elle's glance a hint at the relationship troubles between Tao and Elle that come to a head in the novella? Nick and Charlie are not the only ones having to worry about long distance...

Chloe ♡

‘you’ll be together forever’ and then elle glances to tao wondering if they’ll be the same….

Elena

Aww Nick 🥰😍 But you can also see the concered face of Elle and that she worries, that her relationship will not survive the long distance. 😣

Areesah Mobley

The internal conflict is strong. I am excited to see how Alice builds the tension and I love angst in my stories. But I never wanna see my babies in pain. At least I can have faith that Alice will work it all out

art

poor Elle. she looks so unsure

Lisa K.

I had the same thought as Barb but your explanation makes a lot of sense.

Nikki

Nick’s eyes/expression making anyone else want to give him a hug? 🥺

Loveislove

Yikes - this is the pity party couch 🛋 😳. They need to switch to drinking water. Nick is clearly not all right and Elle is so not all right she can't see it. I don't really see her and Tao as endgame, she is continuing to deal with massive life changes but with a clearer independent vision than Nick has.

ACxo

Can I give them each a hug? 🥺

Krystyn

So many things unsaid but Nick and Elle’s eyes say a lot. They look so unsure in face of that big step. I love how you channel all those emotions with their eyes Alice. 💜

Kayleigh Clarke

Ooh, that’s the plan changed to I hope so? 🥺

Kat

Nick looks so unsure and Elle too- so much going on here! Long distance is going to be tough. I so feel for them!!

Ashley Robinson

Love these fictional people with my whole heart. ❤️

Beam Bugge

"you're nick and charlie" "what does that even mean"

Harri Watson

The insecurity in Nick 😭 hoping that nothing changes ❤️ bless him

Patrick Cirelli

"(I drew Tao's hotdog costume wrong on page 1626, don't worry, I'll fix it before it goes live!)" A clear sign of a good artist: never fully satisfied with one's work. 👍

Merel

Yes, Tara says it in the car while they're doing uni visits! "Be honest with him. You're Nick and Charlie. You're gonna be fine." ❤️

zara ahmed !!

we are approaching the Angst™️

Cody

I really wish they would read each others nonverbal communication better. It's obvious that it's not fine. I really love how Alice makes it work with each page

Chris

Everybody around them sees that they are Nick and Charlie, that they are endgame, but it’s probably difficult to hear when you struggle and you have concerns… this is them who have to work hard to be Nick and Charlie in the long run

Justin S.

Nick 🥺 it’s gonna be okay - their eyes are everything

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

I'm okay. I'm living in the future where Nick and Charlie are planning to propose to each other and Daisy is growing out her unexpected bald spot. Really, I'm okay 🥺🥺

2catlovers

I have a bad feeling about this - heading towards that awful argument in the novella?

Heather N.

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I’m not ready. Just need to remind myself it’ll be okay

Carrie Lindley

First, as a parent of a current freshman in college, I just had a front row seat to all of the stresses of senior year in high school. I assume that the final year of sixth form is the same vibe. Can I just say, those kids really go through it?! On the surface, they get to enjoy all of the privileges of being the top dogs at school, but beyond that there is so much uncertainty. There's applying to university -- a process which includes trying to decide your entire career path at the age of 17, taking exams (whether they're A levels or SATs/ APs/ IBs), writing essay after essay, and then so much waiting. Then there's the worrying about how your university options correspond to those of your friends. And the difficulty of making decisions that you know will alter the trajectory of your life. Obviously, there can be excitement surrounding all of this, too. But the anxiety is so real. So, I love how that is captured in this scene! And I love that both Nick and Elle are feeling it. That is REAL LIFE. The second thing I want to say is that as much as we all love that "Nick and Charlie" label, I can imagine that if you *are* Nick or Charlie, being reduced to that tagline would feel a bit reductive. Saying "oh, you're fine because you're Nick and Charlie" doesn't allow much room for individual struggles or feelings. It simplifies their relationship, as if it's all sunshine and rainbows, when we know that it isn't. It's love and work and communication and support... but it's not always as easy as "Nick and Charlie" sounds. Again, that is REAL LIFE.

Ania W.

I hope we get to know the story behind Elle's expression. Does she idealize Nick and Charlie's love and worries about her relationship? This page makes me really want to know what's going on in Elle and Nick's heads.

Oliver

Elle darling 🥺❤️

Noemiette

Hearing these kind of assumptions on your relationship, as if it's a perfect fairytale when you are full of anxieties and self doubt doesnt help not burrying everything :))) but looks like they are all doing some burrying

RCM

You know Tao is totally talking to the parrot, lol😂

Merel

Good point! They WILL be together forever, but it's not as easy as just saying that. Relationships take work and you can't always rely on the fairytale ending.

Noemiette

But also, we know they will stay together forever. They dont ! Nick just turned 18. It's very difficult to grasp that concept when you are still that young, about to move out on the other side of the country etc

Elsie 3

Ughhhh exactly!!!!! Can we skip ahead to that part please???? I don’t want the part that I know comes next 😭

RCM

There is that hesitation (again) in Nick’s words and “looking past the present moment” expression captured in that first panel…the questioning (of exactly what Nick isn’t even fully aware of yet) bubbling to the surface. The fear, the yes, we’re Nick and Charlie, together, and it’s so amazing! I love Charlie! But I’m having to make big decisions for just Nick…how do I do that and also be Nick and Charlie together forever. God, I’m going to miss him. And he’s doing so well. Charlie’s Head Boy. He’s good. We’re good. I’ll be good…i am good…and all this happens while Elle is having similar questions in her head (while hot dog Tao talks to his new bff the parrot…did they get a name yet, lol?) Growing up sucks sometimes ❤️

Evergreen

Elle’s quick, light-hearted response, and her look over at Tao, suggests that she was asking more to reassure herself of her own long-distance situation than to get into a deep conversation with Nick about his (which is totally fine! We all do this and need this from time to time). My current and previous relationships have been “model couple” situations, and I experienced that kind of feedback a lot. All well-intentioned, but it does make it hard to open up about relationship struggles. It almost feels like people are relying on you to be the steady couple, and there is pressure not to let the conversation get too deep. N+C are lucky to have such a healthy relationship, and their friends look up to them for good reasons! But they will each need a friend who is able to go deep with them, because every relationship has challenges and requires growth. (Or they need more long car trips with friends where they get tired enough of each other to start speaking bluntly, like the uni visits!) I really feel for Nick here. 💚

Charlie

I totally agree with you. These kids need help and support. 🫂

Jay Paul Mayer

Oh God! I swear, the Nick and Charlie portion of this, if it gets adapted, needs to end with a panel of them going "why are we like this?" when they make up...

Lainey

This is what I was thinking!😬 I went back and looked at the timeline for the N&C novella which starts on the last day of school so the argument shouldn’t be coming until the summer, but i’m wondering if we will see some sort of time skip or montage situation from Alice to get to that point because this definitely seems to be foreshadowing!

Ada Suzany

iiiii my couple... Elle and Tão 😭☝🏼 can't be apart

Faye

Oh Elle

CinD

I completely forgot to be worried for two future long distance couples 🥺 take your own advice and talk to Tao, Elle

Ignacia

oohhh I see getting the little hints of nick and charlie

Robert

I can see sadness heading our way. One thing occurs to me having read Nick & Charlie, perhaps Tao and Charlie can support each other in the year that they re long distance. If Elle goes to Loughborough then they can probably travel on the same train!!

Olav Gehle

Please don’t worry too much about the Novella Nick & Charlie, we all know they will made it ;) Alone the thought they may break up makes my cry 😢

Jennifer Paddock

I wish we could all reassure Nick that it will be forever but they need to go through the tough times to be strong enough to make it happen! ❤️

dominique

“You’re Nick and Charlie, you’ll be together forever” truest words have never been spoken 😌 (and I need to remind me myself of that as I see the Nick and Charlie plot coming, ha)

hwalker

Denial 🥰

Nils

Spoileralert we know what will happen. Only thing I'd like to know if this comic is going to end where Nick&Charlie begins or if we go a bit further into an epilogue. Have to say I am undecided which I would prefer. The beautiful open ending of Nick&Charlie or simply more of them.

Loveislove

We need some Nick/Sarah and some Nick/Charlie time. By summer Nick will be very excited to be getting ready for uni life as per the Nick and Charlie novella. It is a painful time for Nick now though and I look forward to Nick and Charlie communicating. This is what makes them special but this is what seems to be missing. What's happening Alice?

Noemiette

Alice has said before that the comic will end when Nick leaves for uni. So slightly after the novella

ucfnurse

Elle has a plan ya just know it!!☺️😊👌💞💕🌸🤞🔮👉🎊✌️🕊️☮️

Murgy

So much foreshadowing of the events of Nick and Charlie, and it still hurts to think of it, but there is hope for them all. And there are good things ahead for all of them before and after a dark period. Also, why is Tao a hotdog, any ideas?

Lodge

Nick's "Yep everything is fine!" expression is heartbreakingly similar to Charlie's genuinely happy expression 😭

Jazmine Terson

AWEEEEEE SHE ISNT CERTAIN ABOUT HER AND TAO. OHHHH NOOOOO

Kat

Ooh, this is so interesting to look at from Elle’s perspective. If Nick had admitted to feeling anxious, I wonder if she might have shared some of her anxieties too. It’s interesting because her saying “you’re nick and charlie you’ll be together forever” isn’t just about the pressure that puts on Nick here — it also shows that their friends have an idealized idea of their relationship. So if Elle is having doubts about whether or not she and Tao can make it, she’s less likely to voice that to Nick if she’s putting his relationship on a pedestal. And it also might make her feel worse about her relationship in comparison, if she thinks N&C have been totally unaffected by the long-distance thing while she and Tao might be having a harder time.

artxsta

really good analysis! esp when comparing these scenes to the nick & charlie novella it makes total sense

Michelle Glegg

They will talk eventually if the Nick and Charlie novella is anything to go by. It’s just going to take a while

Neenie

His eyes don’t look sure…
