Thinking about how every "romantic" action Nancy performs for Steve in s4 can be viewed as maternal and what that's trying to say about St*ncy
#like she bandages him up and pulled cobwebs out of his hair#saves his dumb ass and then says his dreams are nice#idk maybe I'm overthinking but I think they're trying to say something#like maybe she's the mother in the winnebago scenario because that's what Steve envisions a mother should be#Which is still very fucking gross because Nancy has agency#Also I think it's interesting that everything from Steve's end is stereotypical male action hero bullshit#like he's saving her from the earthquakes and vecna#I don't know I just feel like st*ncy is giving stereotypical 80s media romance and we know they're going to subvert it#I think another interesting point is contrasting the physical side of st*ncy with the casual intimacy of Jancy in s3 ?#like Jancy in the hospital fight are working as a team who also happen to be in love and you can tell it's not forced?#How much of that is Natarlie is hard to say#But if like if you put the steve is cradling Nancy side by side with the are you ok hospital scene you could tell the differences#to further that point there's a general lack of talking in the st*ncy relationship which is extremely telling#Like Jancy communicates they make plans together and when they're not communicating they have *shared looks*#meanwhile Steve is shooting down Nancy's ideas left and right and Nancy barely fucking gets a voice#and it's so interesting that the most we see Nancy talk about the St*ncy of it all is yelling at Robin who accused her of being unhappy#And then immediately saying that she's unhappy because Jonathan isn't there and she doesn't know what's wrong with him#Like respectfully in a way that matters i.e. emotionally Steve isn't on Nancy's radar at all#get in losers it's shitty on st*ncy hours#stranger things#nancy wheeler#steve harrington#anti stancy#Jancy#I am tagging them because they're in the tags
