Happy 9 years of Heartstopper 🥹🎂 Can’t quite believe I’ve been making the comic for almost a decade, and now I’m approaching the end 🥲 Thank you for all of the love and support for this story!

I had a lot of fun having another little go at animation! I did this on my iPad using Procreate Dreams. Obviously this is veeeeery simple in terms of animation, but I'm proud of myself! I'd love to try something a bit more complex to see if I could create something that vaguely resembles actual 2D animation... It's such a time-consuming activity though 😰

If you like, I could share the individual drawings that I did for this animation... let me know!

Tina

alice i have a bit of a weird question, i noticed that the new n&c novella copy (10th anniversary with the rainbow edges) doesn't list "Heartstopper Volume 5" on the page that lists your books despite coming out this year? i was wondering if there is a reason why? at first i thought that maybe that page hasn't been rewritten since the reworked edition came out in 2020 (yellow cover) but then Volume 4 would not have been mentioned too plus the YA winner 2021 for loveless is mentioned too, so clearly it has been revised but not after vol5? even for the 10th anniversary edition? i hope i got my question across lmao long story short i was wondering why HS V5 wasn't mentioned in the n&c edition that came out earlier this year. :)

BEL

Thank you Alice for bringing us so much joy with Nick and Charlie. Even when you reach the end of their story, you know they will live on forever in the hearts of millions of fans all over the world ❤️

Thank you, Alice for sharing this to the world...this is actually the first western boys love comic I read..back when it started in tumblr 2016ish rummaging through my usual feed and found this gem probably through a tag or something......the tenderness caught me off guard and I fell in love........Thank you for this work I could say proudly it contributed to my journey to becoming an adult....and I believe it helped me to aspire as much as I can to be a kind person.

Marina

HLMac88

Happy Birthday Heartstopper! Alice, I know you probably have heard this a million times, but your beautiful story has changed my life in so many ways. I have learned so much through these beautiful characters and i am a better person because of it. The love story of Nick and Charlie is so beautiful. It was the first time I was ever to experience a healthy interpretation of queer love and relationships. It prepared me unknowingly for my own family as my youngest daughter came out to me last year as a lesbian 🥰. She introduced me to Heartstopper the year the show came out and we enjoyed it as a family. I learned so much and I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this beautiful, warm, loving, happy story you have told through these wonderful characters. You have changed my life for the better forever. Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation with the world. You are amazing! 💕

Liz

Happy 9 years! Congratulations Alice and thank you for the beautiful story of Nick and Charlie! ❤️❤️❤️

Shauna Wing

Thank you for Thank you so much for Heartstopper Alice ! I'm so sad that it is ending but I celebrate this wonderful story. I found the Heartopper show and fell in love with the story and characters. Everyone is so perfect for their character ! It has truly become my comfort show , I have watched so many times and will continue to do so long after it has ended. I bought all of your Heartstopper graphic novels because of how wonderful the show is and I love each one! Now I have all of your books and I am excited to read them all :) Is there any chance that down the road we might see an update to Heartstopper ? I would love to see what Nick and Charlie and the gang are up to later in their lives :)

DogBefriender22

Nick Nelson’s first day of (Charlie) Spring - literally! Love it. Love the animation, the colours, the music, the tone, and love that 9 years after you first created this beautiful world, it is still so ALIVE amongst us all and continues to be life changing for so many - I think it always will be 💛💙 And you know, if you’re toying with the idea of what’s next for Heartstopper, an animated series of current volumes and/or future stories, I am VERY happy to wait for the animations however long they might take!! Is there anything you can’t do?? Let me see - drawing, writing, animating, producing TV and film, oh and changing the world… 💖 Happy 9th Anniversary Alice, Nick & Charlie x

Abigail Sheetz

thank YOU alice. this story means the world to every single one of us on this patreon. i can’t imagine my life without it!!

Jennifer Paddock

So wonderful! The animation, the anniversary, YOU for giving Nick & Charlie to the world! ❤️

Elisabeth Setzler

Oh Alice, what a lovely celebration of your creation! The first moment… and all it entailed, in a simple set of images. I think that’s your superpower - the ability to distill down into seemingly simple images the whole of what is happening. Your stories are wonderful, but that talent? That ability to see it all and put it on paper? That is so, so rare. I’m glad you are proud of yourself. We are too, but the most important person to be proud is you. And that is what makes me the happiest. Thank you for sharing your talent. That you for the year I’ve had with Heartstopper and the 9 years you’ve created. It’s beautiful, m’dear. It truly is!

Gregory Toner

Thank you Alice 💖 thank you so much for HEARTSTOPPER 💖

Mark

RCM

Happy NINE years of Heartstopper to you, Alice! What a wonderful reason to celebrate! This animation, whew! ...I've watched it many times today, and keep coming back to the wonderful way you used movement to capture the essence of Nick and Charlie's love story...from that very first look in form class, which managed to create that very first blush of warmth on both of them and the first fluttering of our beloved Heartstopper leaves!, they have been in each other's orbit...whether it was passing in the corridor, helping with maths :), watching each other at sports, they were always looking, noticing, being drawn to each other. Nick and Charlie were from day one engaging in a dance meant just for them...and the way you recreated this idea of their orbits by using the softest glowing orbs of their individual (yet very complimentary) colors, circling, chasing, following, lighthearted at first then increasing in speed and depth as they "learned" each other, all the while DANCING in an shared, mutually desired concentric dance, until they converge to meet in the same CENTER, and we see a new color, a soft green BLEND of them, arise. That is what Nick and Charlie being each other's center of gravity looks like...it's a place of deep emotional connection and intimacy, it provides stability and structure to their lives as they come back to each other to find grounding, to recharge, to seek their sense of HOME (who is the first person they think of each morning, the person they want to tell everything to and the person whose house they run to... and the last person they fall asleep texting, or better yet, snuggling..). It also allows for the integrity of their own individual selves to be there too, and we see that noted with those closing TWO Heartstopper leaves in their own individual colors still dancing and circling and learning and growing...the N+C heart is a symbol of ongoing hope and love and promise, and the way you wrap it up with a "Thank you", and "Love, Alice x" with Nellie right there (since she was there from the very beginning and you, are, well you are YOU!!) is just perfect. The song choice from Noah and the Whale matches where their story began and where it is ending...Heartstopper started with a new beginning for each of them as individuals, and now Nick and Charlie are headed out into their future, to a different kind of new beginning, this time also as a couple..."It's the first day of Spring, and my life (and our life) is starting over again..." So much hope! THANK YOU, Alice..for this, for them, for this patreon, for the countless hours you pour into your work, because you care so much...N+C 4-ever!

RCM

Being able to say "we enjoyed it as a family" is one of my favorite things about Heartstopper...and you sound like an amazing parent, HLMac!

Raeee✨

Thank you for this story, Alice. It has changed so many of our lives. 🥹🩵

E

How fitting that I am wearing my Heartstopper leaves t-shirt today :)

Meowzer

It doesn’t seem like it could be nine years. The love I have for Nick and Charlie (and you, too Alice) feels like it flew by so quickly. I feel blessed that I’ve been a part of this journey. Facebook group pages. The books. The series. And soon the movie. This story has changed so many lives, some of them in my own family dynamic. Much love and appreciation, Alice,for all the time, love and dedication it took to bring our boys to life. Literal life with Kit and Joe. Much real love and respect to you. ❤️💙💛

Maggie

Thank you for sharing them with us ♥️
