#to further that point there's a general lack of talking in the st*ncy relationship which is extremely telling

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
