#but NACE ARE SOULMATES

[sargentsblu]

Nancy needs space and distance to cope with her heartbreak and Ace needs to feel that everything is just as it used to be - back to being friends.

It's fucking infuriating being in Nancy's shoes and trying to distance yourself physically from someone who you still love but that broke your heart and have them not understand and be angry at you. It's heartbreaking seeing them trying to act like nothing happened because it makes you wonder if maybe they didn't feel it as much as you did ("did you not feel what i felt?" "you seem to have forgotten that you're the one who broke my heart") and if maybe they're not hurting as much as you are. And I do think she is right in keeping her distance because you can only distance yourself emotionally when you distance yourself physically from someone

And for that reason, I have to say that up until the end of the episode I was pissed at Ace too.

But I can understand his side now and it is also infuriating because he loves her so much he is not willing to risk her life and he can't understand how him trying to protect her makes her push him away like this ("you're not the only one who lost the love of their life" "real love isn't dying for each other") because that's not what love is like for him and it breaks my goddamn heart because I don't think either of them could see the extent of the other's pain before this episode and they're both hurting so so much and have very different copping mechanisms and honestly I feel like the way they chose to deal with all this was going to end up breaking them even more (love turned into heartbreak turned into anger turned into absolute nothing) on the long run and I'm glad they talked it out instead of pushing it to the worst extent.

I do hope we get to see things a little lighter in the next episode, though I don't know just how much they'll have recovered from this conversation.

Let's have some soulmate AUs for each guy and how they knew you were the one.

Pretty much just soft thoughts under the cut

Jure: Has the first words you'll say to him tattooed on his skin. It sits on his thigh in stark black ink and he knows you have his first words to you in the same spot. He doesn't talk much to the fans after gigs, not until you speak first and say the words etched on his skin.

"Oh it's you." He says, those three words perfectly matching the dark writing on your skin, carved in his handwriting.

Nace: He only sees in black and white until you two touch. It doesn't really bother him, how can he miss something he's never seen? But then you show up and his world is suddenly brimming with colour and life. His bass is a bright red and it matches your panties perfectly the night he makes love to you for the first time.

Kris: You share dreams. You don't know it's him until you wake up together one morning, his body sleep soft and his arms around you. He tells you about the wonderful dream he had of you two, your bodies becoming one as the stars swirled around you.

You finish his description before he can tell you about the surprise space pirates because you had the exact same one.

Bojan: Feels your emotions. You remember the day he got that panic attack and the day their first single came out and he was brimming with excitement and nerves. Waves of emotions that weren't your own flowed through you, intense and overwhelming. It was only the strongest emotions you felt and once you were together you could never be sure if the intense feelings of love were his or your own.

Jan: Countdown clock. You were obsessed with the timer on your wrist, counting down every second of your life until you met him, until his eyes fell on you and saw that you two were destined to be together.

He learned to love numbers from the timer on his wrist and found peace in the steady ticking of the clock. Now you're his peace.

DUDE!! SHUT! UP!

[naancypants]

today I am Thinking about Nancy, who truly has such a deep and explosive well of emotions - emotions that come POURING out of her the minute she allows them to - but how she also keeps them buried under lock & key. She is a pillar of strength, and only those closest to her when she's at her weakest are EVER going to catch a glimpse of her in a vulnerable state.

and then there's Ace, who is very open and honest about his emotions and has no trouble confronting them - he can identify how he feels, he can admit it to others - but he is so unused to letting them flow freely, that sometimes he doesn't know how to stop THINKING about his feelings and just let them BE. he speaks truthfully, and he is earnest, but he is even-tempered.

just another example of how Nancy and Ace are perfect opposites.

Favorite Otps/Pairings: Ace Hardy & Nancy Drew (Nancy Drew) “My dad once told me it's possible to live a good life, even without a soulmate. He was half right. It is. But now I know that we choose soulmates ourselves. Fate leaves that up to us."

[lorastyrels]

Yes. Always, forever.

Okay unpopular opinion, but honestly even with the season we had the wraith, some things didn't make sense AT ALL to me the first time, but in the end it all made sense, and the rewatch also showcased how much attention they pay to the smallest details.

So while I'm confused AF, I'm definitely trusting the writers to have a plan and just hopping on for the ride.

[nancysable]

the struggle is that i don’t hate tristan’s character, i actually love him and him with nancy isn’t bad but the idea of nancy and ace choosing each other even without being supernaturally tied to each other, that what they’ve built transcends fate and they dictate their lives and their love for each other. nancy and ace would pick each other even if it was harder to face because it’s what they’ve reckoned. their love isn’t easy, it’s overwhelming and overpowering, even disregarding predestination. autonomical devotion.

[gorgeoussimplehousecat]

i really feel like after the first time nancy almost kissed ace and the curse gave a warning, nancy would've gone drastically out of her way to make sure to never do anything like that ever again. and yet in the premiere she almost kisses him TWICE. i feel like there is some other force at play here

[donutcats]

nancy drew taking both nace and fanson away from me during the last pivotal episodes of this show?? unless they both become canon in the last episode I fear I’ll never fully recover

[carylmeanslove]

Ace is my person.
