Did the duffers mean to write ronance. Like im actually so confused did they mean to do that. Did they mean to write them so ridiculously compatible in the smallest ways? Like the connections are BAFFLING to me, every single throwaway line and scene makes them even more compatible like
Jonathan threw away nancy’s pink sweater cause he hates pink meanwhile robin wore pink when nancy asked her to at penhurst and played pretty in pink on the radio
They both canonically like a russian story about doomed love (doctor zhivago and anna karenina)
Nancy has a whole arc about feminism, Robin goes on a feminist rant to the penthurst guy and goes to college to listen to lectures on steinem
Nancy “doesn’t trust doctors who smoke”, and hates it when Jonathan smokes weed. Robin throws Eddie’s cigarette out of his mouth and into the water at Lover’s Lake, calling it “gross”
In contrast, they both like to get drunk and have even gotten drunk together in One Way or Another
They live two hours away from each other in the first state to legalize gay marriage
In rebel robin we learn that some of robin’s favorite artists are madonna, bowie and the beatles (i believe so anyways, it’s been a minute), which is the same music she suggests to the others when trying to free Nancy from vecna’s curse. Since we saw Robin going through the tapes in Nancy room, we can assume that she suggested these tapes because nancy likes them, which means they have the same taste in music
Nancy dresses up in the candystriper outfit robin liked on vickie, and robin dresses up in the outfit tom cruise wore in the poster on nancy’s wall
Robin’s throwaway line about overbearing partners is apparently geared towards vickie, while nancy has a whole arc about being the opposite of overbearing
Again, in rebel robin the whole plot of the book is basically that robin is desperately trying to save up money to leave her town and nancy has the same ambition
With robin’s canonical love for languages, literature and cinema, she’s very much the same archetype as jonathan’s photography in terms of being compatible with nancy’s journalism career goals
I also think it’s hilarious that both jonathan and robin are weird runners
When jonathan asked if nancy needed space to be with someone else, she said she wasn’t interested in steve but she didn’t say she wasn’t interested in anyone else at all
Robin’s use of the word babes has always been used to refer to women so bisexual nancy is like basically canon
