there is a light and it never goes out.

[jancy4life]

i could never get over them like there's no way

[kassy-djomunson]

i miss them

[share-the-damn-bed]

Do you ever think about the fact that they had Jonathan choose to let Nancy go but then immediately back tracked by making all of their interactions super romantically charged? Or is that just me?

[jonathanbyersphd]

And just the way these two are looking at each other, we can tell they’re still together -- and in love.

jancy s2 is my favorite thing in the whole planet like nothing NEVER will had the same impact on me in the way they did. they changed my life and i'm so serious about it. the yearning, the angsty, the tension, THE BUZZ i spend all their scenes blushing so hard they were my everything they had such a beautiful young love story to explore and those brothers took them away from me i'll never shut up about them and tbh i think i'll never love anything the same way i luv them

So Jonathan is great at compartmentalizing his feelings and problems and needs and convincing himself that everything is fine because what other option is there, so while I know he missed Nancy desperately, I think there's a good chance that he was able to stuff it all down a lot of the time and basically carry on business as usual. I mean, look at him when he's "letting her go". He's come to a decision and made peace with it. It sucks, but so many, many things in his life have sucked.

But Nancy. Oh, our girl Nancy. No one does obsession like Nancy. She can refuse to talk about her feelings and shut down emotionally for eighteen months, but she can't ignore what matters to her. She's not getting over shit. I can't even fathom the amount of things that remind her of Jonathan on the daily. Girl sees a red light and starts thinking about the darkroom. She sees a band poster on a bulletin board and wonders whether Jonathan has heard of them. She curls up in her bed in Boston and wonders how he'd fit beside her.

And then she shows up in Hawkins and she's like yeah I'm fine I'm doing great this independence thing sure is something.

she lives on pretty girl avenue

the jancy breakup said a lot about them and how much they loved each other. normally, when thinking about breakups, we imagine the worse case scenario with angry shouts and agony but their case was the opposite: they broke up in the most intimate and heathly breakup scene ever. there was no fight, no resentment, no one to blame. just two people letting each other go because they were in love and wanted the best for each other even if it meant going their separate ways. you can see that he loved that girl with all his being. in the moment he understood that she needed space, he knew what to do. she was letting her heart out for him in the way she never did to anyone before. they reconized they would never find anything like what they had together and i do think that scene was the most in love they ever sounded and looked in the show. they knew it had all worth it, they knew it was a once in a lifetime kinda thing. they tried to fix things, heal their wounds, but for some reason (those brothers), they weren't meant to be together at that moment. for my mental health, i like to think that after a few years, after having the opportunity to see the world without traumatical influences and to met new people, they eventually found their ways back together.

do you fuck with my little persons

guess who’s on their jancy bullshit again

[yankee-with-the-brave]

Wild to me how they broke up Jancy because the trauma was too much and it was suffocating, only for their ending to be stuck together in a friend group that was also built on that same trauma, and making promises to meet once a month to reminisce about those traumatic times (if they’re not helping Jonathan with his movie of course).

[jonathanbyersphd]

Do not let the haters know that I headcanon Jonathan working in a bar during college they will not be able to handle the concept

[andshe-was]

There’s this music video with Lola Tung and the bartender looks like Charlie if you squint (someone called it out in the YT comments even) and it’s a Jancy AU in my head.

Imagine falling in love at the exact moment your world is falling apart.

Not before the grief, not after it but right there, in the middle of it. In the wreckage, in the silence that follows something shattering. In the kind of darkness that feels endless. And somehow, in all of that, when everything is raw and uncertain, you find each other.

There’s shared trauma and then there’s this. A love that doesn’t ask for better timing. That doesn’t wait for the pain to pass. That blooms anyway, stubborn and impossible, in a place where nothing gentle should survive.

A love that looks at devastation and says: still. Still you. Still us.

Just imagine that.

it's so special to me the way you can notice so clearly how jancy's relationship changed them. there's a jonathan before and after nancy's impact (and ofc the same thing happened to her because of his impact). he was able to realize that he can ALSO be cared for and not always the only one who takes care. that at the same time he can see through her, she can also see a part of him that he never showed to anyone else. i deeply stand by the idea that there's a whole word inside of him that no one will ever be able to get to know in the way she did. even thinking about them in other relationships in the future, no one else will ever understand what happened to them, what they get overcame together or the level of connection that they had. she was his first love, first gf and the one by his side even in the worse days of theirs lives. he waited for her, she waited for him, and honestly, they're still waiting. it doesn't mean just waiting for come back tgt , but waiting and rooting to see each other's happiness. i try not to be so crazy about them but ik she was the light of his life and changed him 4ver i do NOT play about them

[share-the-damn-bed]

drawn to one another like magnets

[share-the-damn-bed]

I've posted this exact gif a million times now but I can't help myself because they LOVE each other!!!

[jancy4life]

and somehow people look at THIS and still try to convince you that these two aren't the love and, at the same time, the loss of each other's lives like i'm so sorry if you don't know what true love looks like but they're the perfect example. they support each other no matter what. even be4 a relationship, between a breakup, years after all, they still looking for each other and AT each other with so much love and passion and i'm afraid nothing changes that
