Alice OsemanGUEST
my YouTube channel, or Booksmart, my book podcast.
Allie Daisy KingHOST
As an asexual woman writer and creator, there are very few public figures out there who are a part of my community for me to look up to, with a shining exception being Alice Oseman.
Alice OsemanGUEST
Alice is the writer, creator, and illustrator of the beloved and iconic Heartstopper universe.
Allie Daisy KingHOST
I've been a major fan of Alice's for many years, and I was lucky enough to sit down and have a chat with her during her most recent Australian tour.
Allie Daisy KingHOST
I mean when I was in the lobby earlier and you walked past I was literally nose deep in Loveless at the time yet again because that's my favorite of all of your A stories because it was truly scarily biblically accurate to my life so yeah thank you for really representing the girls lying about having their first kiss when they're 18.
Allie Daisy KingHOST
Thank you so much for that.
Allie Daisy KingHOST
And then one of the first things that comes up when you Google your name and Arrow Ace is a, you know, wonderful Redditor posing the question, quote, if Alice Oseman is aromantic, how does she manage to write such a romantic story? I thought writers got inspiration from real life.
Allie Daisy KingHOST
Would you please unpack this common misconception that people have about Arrow Ace people?
VaughanHOST
Just thumbs up it.
Hayley SproullHOST
Very excited to be joined by Alice Oseman, who is the creator of the original, what do you call it, a web comic series.
Hayley SproullHOST
Yes, correct.
Hayley SproullHOST
Of Heartstopper.
AlessandraHOST
I mean, we, we've talked about both these things on the podcast before.
AlessandraHOST
Heartstopper is based off of a Webtoon comic, uh, by Alice Oseman, and Good Omens is based off a book.
AlessandraHOST
So, and, uh, we're gonna, we're gonna close these two out.
EmilyHOST
Yeah.
48 MINS LATER
EmilyHOST
It's true.
EmilyHOST
Um, I'm gonna look at some of the trivia on this one 'cause I'm sure there's at least something better.
EmilyHOST
Um, there's a cameo of Alice Oseman.
EmilyHOST
Uh, she's seen-
GraceHOST
The Horse, The Fox, The Hound, and The Mole, I think, by Charles Macri.
GraceHOST
Heartstopper Volume 6 by Alice Oseman.
GraceHOST
Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher.
GraceHOST
Dragonfruit by Mikea Lussier, and An Accident of Dragons.
Luke SimpsonHOST
Again, it feels...
Luke SimpsonHOST
Oh my God, I've just seen Alice Oseman is in this book.
ElliePANELIST
[gasps]
Luke SimpsonHOST
Sorry, that's exciting.
Luke SimpsonHOST
Moving on.
Luke SimpsonHOST
Dana's birthday is July the 26th.
Luke SimpsonHOST
For those of you who are interested, Alice Oseman is, uh, on the 31st of July, but I'm not gonna read Alice Oseman.
Luke SimpsonHOST
I'm going to...
Luke SimpsonHOST
I resisted that.
Luke SimpsonHOST
And then also, these adorable little wooden autumn leaf earrings that just looked like they were drawn by Alice Oseman.
Luke SimpsonHOST
So cute.
Luke SimpsonHOST
And they were £10 for the pair.
15 MINS LATER
Indigo JacksonHOST
but I didn't know where it was from.
Luke SimpsonHOST
This is what I'm saying.
Luke SimpsonHOST
Well, no, Alice Oseman-
Indigo JacksonHOST
Is it, is it from, is it from an advert?
Luke SimpsonHOST
This time it's one of the novellas.
Luke SimpsonHOST
We are here to talk about This Winter, a Heartstopper novella written by Alice Oseman, part of the official Heartstopper canon, but one of the books that is sort of an addendum, I guess, to the main Heartstopper graphic novels.
Luke SimpsonHOST
It feels weird to call it an addendum because this one isn't a graphic novel.
Luke SimpsonHOST
This is written in chapters and paragraphs, lots of words in it.
16 MINS LATER
ElliePANELIST
Yeah.
Luke SimpsonHOST
And both that and then also the way it's written, the words that we get make that a really strong, quite heartbreaking moment of abandonment for her.
Luke SimpsonHOST
I thought that was really effective in the book, the way Alice Oseman has included the details of about the clothing and Tori not feeling herself, and ...
Luke SimpsonHOST
Oh, and the little detail of the cracker crown, and, like, all of that, those sorts of things made it really, made it really moving and heartbreaking, and I think some of that was just lost in the TV show for various reasons, but-
Luke SimpsonHOST
So after those three weeks, we'll get back together, sit around again and talk about and recap season two in its entirety.
Luke SimpsonHOST
That will be the end of our Young Royals season two journey, and we'll need to jump back into Heartstopper mode, or the Heartstopper universe I should say, the Osemanverse, because then we've got a couple of episodes, 'cause I am planning on doing it over two episodes, a couple of episodes where we get into Solitaire, the Alice Oseman book, the book that started it all.
Luke SimpsonHOST
So that's what's coming up.
Luke SimpsonHOST
And I'm not gonna say any more than that, but obviously you know that we will get into season three in the new year.
