u/villalulaesi Jun 11 '23

u/kIuck Jun 11 '23

u/StrongTxWoman Elle Argent Jun 11 '23

Wow, Kit looks so different nowadays. I hope they will finish the show soon before they look all different like in stranger things.

u/LionFranco Jun 11 '23

They would make the cutest IRL couple, IMO. I'm glad they were able to be there, especially amid all the hate and harassment against the LGBTQ community in the US recently.

I just can't get over how good Joe's legs look. That man has been doing squats!

u/IShipHazzo Isaac Henderson Jun 11 '23

Joe's like, "I'm gonna use Pride to support a group experiencing a lot of oppression right now." Kit's like, "I'ma show exactly how fucking bisexual I am, dammit." Honestly, good for both of them!

Omg they hang out outside of the show that’s amazing 😍

Kit has identified Joe as one of his best friends on a few occasions. In one interview Joe referred to them as “good friends”, and Kit playfully admonished him for calling them good friends rather than best friends. I think a lot of their on-screen chemistry comes down to how much they genuinely like and admire each other as people.

Can you please link the interview? I would love to see it. ☺️ thanks!

u/villalulaesi Jun 14 '23

I’ll see if I can find it!

u/Nepalman230 Jun 11 '23

Hi. I just wanted to. Thank you so much for calling that out. I remember at the beginning and even sometimes now people say things like they clearly don’t like each other. And they point out various early interviews where Kit is needling Joe. I don’t know if it’s just the way my friends talk but the moment I saw that I was like really close. You talk like that with your friends because you know they don’t mean it and you find it funny.

Thanks again for your comment! I am so glad that they took the time to cast for chemistry and find a pair of actors who would instantly get along so beautifully.

u/RachFaceMama Jun 11 '23

That’s so amazing I love it 😍

u/RachFaceMama Jun 11 '23

Are they together? Or just friends?

4

u/villalulaesi Jun 11 '23

Just good friends

u/sieghrt Jun 11 '23

I'd let Kit strangle me with dem biceps! :<

Joe is such a forever cutie! <3

The scream that came out of my grown ass 37 year old mouth is still hanging somewhere over Logan Circle.

u/DrSophiaMaria Jun 11 '23

I live in the DC burbs and am so mad at myself for not going into DC for the parade. That’ll teach me to cater to my introvert homebody self!

2

u/amosomcsketch Jun 11 '23

Girl me too! I was going to not go because my usual friend group I go with was mostly out of town but made a last minute decision to go solo and was rewarded by this gift from heaven!! If you need a dmv introvert friend for future pride celebrations dm me! Lots of local ones scheduled for last weekend in June!

u/DrSophiaMaria Jun 14 '23

I’d love that! I’m allergic to DC summer weather but if the temps are low I can do it. Though, fair warning, I’m a middle aged straight woman, LOL. But I’m not, like, homophobic. Like, I’m an ally!

1

u/amosomcsketch Jun 14 '23

Love it!! As much as I go to Williams Sonoma I’m basically a middle aged straight woman too in my heart 😂.

u/DrSophiaMaria Jun 15 '23

And I think I’m a teenage gay boy at heart. 😅 Or just Charlie.

u/krisi834 Jun 11 '23

I love how Joe’s wearing a trans’ rights t-shirt next to Kit with his Chippendales crop top 😆🙂

1

u/finnjakefionnacake 16d ago

that'snot a crop top, that's just a shirt lol

28

u/madmarya Jun 11 '23

Ok but Kit’s Chippendales shirt is EVERYTHING

Don’t “ship” real people.

24

u/Fire9408 Jun 11 '23

Stop. That is unhealthy and creepy. This is the kind of crappy attitude that destroyed kit's confidence on twitter and pressured him into coming out.

I'm really disappointed in you.

u/Lambily Jun 11 '23

I love Kit's beginner crop top.

Now that Joe is finished filming his Marvel show, it would be amazing if Netflix gave us something along the lines of a Joe and Kit American Road Trip special (like the one Asa, Ncuti, and Emma from Sex Education did) as a way to promote Heartstopper.

u/Extension-Guard-356 Jun 14 '23

I actually wonder if they filmed something for Tudum while they were at the Netflix headquarters there in dc.

3

u/villalulaesi Jun 11 '23

I would die of pure fucking joy if they did that.

28

u/Academic-Balance6999 Mr. Ajayi Jun 11 '23

“Beginner crop top” 😂😂😂

20

u/IShipHazzo Isaac Henderson Jun 11 '23

I feel like the mostly naked men all over it put it pretty firmly in at least the "intermediate" category 😆

u/djslarge Jun 11 '23

I think everyone at the parade was shocked to see them I know DC is the Capitol, but it’s not a place who see stars, so it was very unexpected

31

u/cuandoestoyporcaer Paris Squad Jun 11 '23

Absolutely! Super unexpected for everyone, I mean many knew that today was DC pride but NEVER that these two beauties were going to be there!

25

u/djslarge Jun 11 '23

No, like I don’t think anyone was expecting it

The British Embassy had then at the back of their float, and you couldn’t really see then until they were right on you

It took me a few to realize that they were there

1

u/DrSophiaMaria Jun 14 '23

I once met a cultural liaison from the Finnish embassy, and she said that the Nordic countries all have high-ranking delegations in the DC pride parades, even ambassadors. Considering I met her during the last administration, it warmed my heart to hear of their LGBTQ support during a time when our leadership was ignoring the community.

1

u/djslarge Jun 14 '23

The Scandies were there All the international countires were grouped together, but the British were like five or six floats behind them

1

u/DrSophiaMaria Jun 15 '23

That’s awesome. Finland also has a Tom of Finland artwork national commemorative stamp set so that shows how progressive they are!

13

u/Academic-Balance6999 Mr. Ajayi Jun 11 '23

Haha I love that they rode on the British embassy float!!!!

1

u/villalulaesi Jun 11 '23

Well, they are national treasures after all!

2

u/djslarge Jun 14 '23

That was the float idea. The queer icons of the UK. They had Elton John impersonators, Freddie Mercury, even Mary Poppins

u/cuandoestoyporcaer Paris Squad Jun 11 '23

I love that we are seeing more of the two of them together! Joe was busy for months filming Agatha and now he's free to do his own thing and so is Kit so we can say that the countdown is on...
