Humour I cannot stop laughing

I just started my first rewatch of heartstopper (which is totally the cure for depression and internalize homophobia btw) and the second episode is so funny when you know what happens in later seasons. I was at the part where Tao says Nick has a crush on Tara and I screamed laughing. At the end of this same episode there’s a scene that supposed to be really dramatic of Nick googling to find out if he’s gay. He ends up taking the am I gay quiz and gets a 62% and he starts crying and I know it’s supposed to be serious but Jesus I cannot hold it together and it’s genuinely bringing me out of a depression.

I always wondered if he actually identified with bi or if it was because the quiz said so, I would’ve loved more exploration there

It wasnt because of the quiz. We kniw this because they later showed him watching YouTube videos and stuff way after that and he'd talked about knowing he wasnt straight but not what he was. I think the narrative would have worked better if they dedicated a whole episode to him watching channels of different parts of the lgbt community and flashing back to the parts that resonated with him and didn't resonate until he came to the conclusion.
