The aro ace storyline in Heartstopper was so important to me. I have a very different backstory to Isaac (and to Georgia, the aro ace MC in Alice's book Loveless), and only really came into embracing my ace, and then later my aro, identity later in life. I really hope that Isaac gets to explore this more in the next season. I also long for more varied aro ace stories to be told across all forms of media.
