#like if Nancy is attracted to the badass monster hunter who desperately wants a family then yeah cool whatever

I have so much Steve/Nancy/Jonathan meta that the world needs to hear but my head hurts so fucking bad so ill just say this: Nancy and Jonathan ultimately have never understood Steve. Jonathan has never and probably will never even wanted to understand Steve. Nancy spent a long time struggling to see an actual person past what she wanted him to be, and then past his failure to live up to that vision. She might understand him better now, but she also might just be attracted to his more mature attitude-- but that's still not all of who he is.

and like let me be clear: they don't owe Steve their time and understanding. but until they actually get him as a person, they're honestly awful choices for Steve's friends or partners, because honestly there is very little difference between seeing someone as only the rich popular guy and seeing someone only as the one willing to do what needs to be done. and I'm not sure if they see all the other stuff yet.
