Nancy Wheeler headcannons cause I love her and there needs to be more

- Taught Mike how to play DnD and in turn taught the rest of the party as well

- Read every Nancy Drew book that she could get her hands on and still has the entire collection

- Went as Nancy Drew a couple of times for Halloween

- Went through that "I hate pink" phase and came out of it covered head to toe in hot pink everything

- Autistic + ADHD, that girl can not stand still she has to be doing something at all times

- Really wanted to be a ballerina when she was younger but felt to embarrassed to ask for lessons

- I personally see her as either bisexual or lesbian with comhet

- Was best friends with Jonathan when they were younger because of Mike and Will. They would babysit them together when their moms were too busy but over time when they didn't need a babysitter they stopped hanging out

- Would start murder mysteries (books, movies, TV shows, etc) and stop them before the murderer is revealed to see of she could figure it out first and is generally pissed if she doesn't

- Once when she was 11, tried to bleach her hair after seeing her mom do it. It went bad. Really bad.

- Took french in school to feel cool but hated it with a passion. Later asked Robin to teach her but still can't speak it cause she was too busy thinking how hot Robin sounded speaking it to pay attention

- Would steal R rated movies from her parents and sneak downstairs to watch them. One time stole Rocky Horror Picture Show from a cousin, had her first gay panic watching Susan Sarandon singing in her bra

- ELA and History smart

- Tried smoking once and wasn't a fan cause of the taste, but later after hanging out with Eddie got more into weed

- Transfem?????

- If we're going with bi Nancy, I truly do think she would have had a crush on Jonathan when they were hanging out as middle schoolers but pretended she didn't

im having thoughts about transfem stevie who kinda realized she liked feminine things while dating nancy. and so sometimes stevie would take interest in nancy's makeup, leading to nancy sometimes doing her makeup or hair. nancy, who had never been in a long-term relationship before this, kinda just assumed this was normal boyfriend and girlfriend things and goes along with it, because "steve probably did this with his previous girlfriends, right?" (She did not do things like that with them, Stevie was just sharing more of herself because she was in love with nancy)

And so when Nancy and Jonathan start dating, Nancy suggests playing with Jonathan's hair, because the makeup part didn't really seem like something Jonathan would enjoy when she thought about it but mussing with her boyfriend's hair seemed perfectly normal. Jonathan, also having never been in a relationship before, also presumes this to be normal, and frankly enjoys when it happens.

meanwhile Stevie's kinda fully coming to the realization around the scoops area of time that "holy fuck, i dont just like girly shit. I am a girl." Then she comes out to Robin after starcourt, who encourages her to lean more into it and helps her begin to transition. And that she should have guessed based on how Stevie told her "at least the girl's uniform is cuter. I'd rock that in a heartbeat." wholehearted and dead serious.

and later on she comes out to most of the group, and mentions having known for a long time that she was a girl. And nancy is like wait how long because it had only been 2 years now since they broke up. and Stevie kinda shrugs and was like "i mean, it was pretty obvious looking back, like with the whole hair and makeup thing that happened while we dated was definitely a sign" to which nancy and jonathan are like "wait the hair thing isn't normal?" and stevie's like "?????? what. no???"

And this is how Jonathan's egg cracks and Nancy realizes she's maybe actually a lesbian?

[blue-boulevard]

“Bucks?”

Tears were clouding her vision and so she rubbed the heels of her hands against her eyes before being able to focus them on Nancy. She was looking at the state of Robin, hovering helplessly next to her. God, what was her life?!

“What the hell happened?”

“I- I can’t find my jack-” Robin’s voice broke with a pitiful sob.

“Your jacket? Are you leaving?” Nancy prodded, worried brow creasing.

“Just, I need to get out of here,” Robin wiped her wet cupid’s bow on her thumb. “Can you help with that?”

Without further ado, Nancy opened a closet door and picked out two leather jackets, neither of which looked hers judged by the size, but at the same time they seemed to be exactly what she was looking for. She threw them over her one arm and the other she used to pull Robin out the front door with her. Through a throng of incoming guests, they ran to the lift and put on the huge biker jackets, neither uttering a word. It was suddenly so quiet after all the ruckus.

They went all the way down to the dimly lit basement parking and there Nancy beelined toward a highly polished, sleek motorcycle. It was Eddie’s, everybody knew that. From her (Eddie’s) jacket pocket, Nancy fished out keyes that Robin assumed were a perfect match for the bike.

“Are we committing a felony right now?” Robin’s tear-streaked face scrunched up in question.

“I wish,” An amused smile twitched Nancy’s thin lips. “But this is all approved by the owner.”

That didn’t do much to ease Robin’s nerves. “We shouldn’t- I’m not getting up on that thing.”

Nancy tugged on her wrist encouragingly, dragging her over to the bike. “C’mon, you know you want to.”

She was correct. It was a magnificent ride and there was something thrilling about the unsafety of it all. Part of the appeal, and whatnot. Also, Robin did love chasing the high.

“But we shouldn’t.”

“You wanted to get out. This is your ticket.”

“Are you drunk?” Robin asked, trailing her finger against the shiny black frame.

Nancy threw a leg over the motorcycle to straddle the leather seat, rolling her eyes while she did it. “I’m not planning to kill you, you know.”

The other corner of Robin’s mouth tugged slightly upwards. “That wasn’t an answer.”

Nancy sighed, reaching out her hand for Robin to take. “Do you trust me?”

Robin hesitated, eyeing Nancy carefully. She looked fucking godly on the bike, face fixed with determination and torso covered in black leather. ‘Nobody Robin couldn’t handle’— as if! She was in deep shit.

With an unbelieving laugh, she accepted the offered hand and climbed onto the motorcycle. She pressed up against Nancy, arms wrapping tightly around her waist and holding on for dear life. Holding down on the clutch switch, Nancy started the bike and Robin buried her nose in the older girl’s neck at the rev of the engine. Her heart hammered against Nancy’s back, impatient for the takeoff.

Between one breath and another, the garage door opened and they kicked off.

girls when they are totally straight and love having sex with men

[strangertheories]

Nancy gets a whole speech delivered to her about how her attempt to escape her mother's fate by dating Steve is pointless because she's ultimately forcing herself to love a boy who she's not interested in. She's "rebelling" in a way that many other girls do or, to put it simply, in a way that society is comfortable with. But truly rebelling would be embracing her feelings regardless of what other people think...yet her being sapphic doesn't make sense? (more detailed post)

nancy wheeler deserves to be fucked by a milf

[lavenderstobins]

Would you like to explain your lesbian!Nancy vision?

Of course!

To me, Nancy reeks of comphet. Her parents' marriage has given her issues, which we see, and she rejects the idea of being a housewife and perfect picket fence mother for some man.

I think she loved both Steve and Jonathan in her own way, but she didn't realise she didn't love them romantically. She cares about them a lot and she assumes that's just how relationships are. She likes spending time with them, so she must be attracted to them, right?

With Steve, it's easy to rationalise it as the grief tearing them apart in Nancy's head. With Jonathan, they start having issues communicating when Jonathan moves, and they struggle when she faces sexism at work, and I think him not getting it worms its way into her head but she can't fully explain why that is.

Then she's flung into being around Robin all the time and something is... different. She chalks it up to not having a female friend in a while, but it's different to how it was with Barb, too. For the first time, she's getting butterflies, and everything feels so new.

I think she'd research it extensively and figure out that she's a lesbian and went through comphet. She'd also realise she'd been half in love with Barb before her death, and that's a whole other reckoning to have.

(I also think that Nancy wouldn't be opposed to marriage and/or kids if she gets to have it with another woman.)

All in all, I'm a lesbian and I relate a lot to Nancy. I love any iteration of sapphic Nancy but lesbian Nancy hits closer to home for me <3

[ronancebyler]

ronance constantly jokes about being in love with eddie and corroded coffin constantly jokes about being in love with steve.

[clustermiix]

Possibly unpopular opinion: Nancy Wheeler is a lesbian and Steve Harrington is gay, and they both have just been operating under the social pressure and assumption that they must be straight.

Nancy's comphet will be defeated one day, because there was undertones to her relationship with Barb I swear to god, and as soon as men start getting a bit too serious with her she understandably nopes out and gets spooked. Her behaviour to Robin and her apparent unawareness that she was coming off hostile and then afterwards warms up to Robin, it all just rings my former comphet bell...

Steve will eventually stop and realise he talks about the idea of dating girls and the image of a future that he's "supposed" to make more than actually wanting to date any of them, and sounds like he's just experiencing regular friendship when he thinks it's romantic feelings for Nancy and then Robin. (I did used to be team bi Steve all the way, but the way he acts and talks about it all, it feels just too much like social conditioning than actually liking women; he doesn't seem like he likes them, he just thinks he should.)

Also Jonathan Byers is absolutely bisexual, I said so. Him and Argyle? Okay.

The real queer quartet: Nancy, Jonathan, Steve and Robin.

i’m staying at my parent’s house, and the road not taken looks real good now

time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires

now i’m missing your smile (hear me out)

we could just ride around and the road not taken looks real good now

and it always leads to you in my hometown…
