History Webcomic / Heartstopper

* MagicalSpeciesTransformation: No not in-canon it's still set in a mundane reality but [[https://tapas.io/episode/2564958 a guest comic]] shows this happening to Nick's character in a game of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' the Paris Squad are playing when Charlie as a wizard screws up a teleportation spell.

* HateSink: David is a homo/biphobic douchebag with little to no redeeming qualities who constantly mocks Nick. He manages to come across as more dislikable than Nick or Harry, which is saying something.

After Nick assured Charlie that he no longer felt anything for Tara, Charlie approached Nick and asked him if he would be ready to kiss a boy or at least him. They ended up [[TheyDo kissing several times]] [[{{Irony}} at Harry's place]] before being interrupted and not being able to explain their feelings.
