STRANGER THINGS ▸ 2.02 chapter two: trick or treat, freak

[nailedbatandrevolver]

Jesus, the Jancy’s are out today 🤣you can ship who you want but, don’t put Jonathan on a pedestal like he’s a nice guy lmao. Defending a peeping tom, a person who made Nancy completely miserable, someone Steve spent five seasons apologizing to and still got treated like crap. Jonathan Byers is a hypocrite and a dick. I said what I said.

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

The Bad Habit

Summary:

Steve never stopped loving Nancy, even after they were no longer together. After everything they've survived, one conversation might change everything.

Notes:

This story was originally written as part of my interactive fanfiction What Happens Next Is Up to You, where readers voted on how the story would continue. The project eventually lost momentum and I decided not to continue it. Rather than leaving this story unpublished, I reworked it into a one-shot.

[kittendustpuffie]

kinda sad that the fanfic will not continue 🥺❤️‍🩹 but it's fine.I'll read this one soonn

[darklinaforever]

WTF?

Let me remind you, the characters had arcs. *Stranger Things* was never just about fighting monsters. It was about trauma—specifically the trauma experienced by the kids: Max, El, and so on. Nancy had her own trauma regarding Barbara to work through—something that was brought back up in Season 4. The "Stancy" relationship never got any closure. And so on. If *Stranger Things* was never supposed to be about the damn characters, why did they have arcs for 4 seasons that Season 5 failed to address?! Like... what is this brand of unabashed anti-intellectualism that thinks it's actually smart? And so many people are okay with that in the comments. I’m flabbergasted.

I wish we could go back to Season 1 Steve and Nancy

I remember when I first watched the show, I was a Jancy shipper and the more I watched the more I feel ashamed about it, especially in season 1. I mean, Steve and Nancy weren't even bad. Nancy was happy about dating Steve, Barb teased her about it (even if she wasn't a fan of it, you could see a part of her was happy that Nancy was happy). Nancy was serious about studying but she was so happy to have Steve around. People said that these two don't fit but this just Nancy being more than the goody two shoes priss (you know, because one of the reasons why this show was iconic, it's because it subverted 80s clichés). Also, she was in control in the relationship without being bossy. I mean, when he was pushy, she got mad at him and he immediately felt bad and apologize in his charming way. She wasn't a girlboss, she just earned Steve's respect by being herself. Steve acknowledges her walls and accepts it. Their relationship was not abusive! And using the "Steve will force her to get pregnant 6 times, and Nancy will be miserable because she couldn't do anything about it" argument is an insult to both Steve and Nancy.

Anyway, next day, Steve invited her to his house so she can share it with his friends. She hesitated because it's new to her but she accepted it, and asked Barb to come with her because she also wanted her to share it with Steve and her friends. Nancy wanted to be part of Steve's world too. And she fits well, laughs with them, drinks a whole can of beer in first try and was proud of it... (Funny, because in the original script, where she was just written as Jonathan's love interest, she hated the beer thing. It's a wonder why she changed it). And then Steve earns Nancy's trust. She is letting her guard down. She removed her clothes to reveal the bra she bought to look nice for him. Steve wasn't pushy this time, in fact he was taken back. And that's how she lost her virginity. Toxic relationship or beautiful love story?

Then of course, Barb died that night and all hell break loose. But would Steve and Nancy break up if Barb didn't die? Steve only committed two mistakes in season 1: the first one was to be more worry about his father finding out about the beers then Barb missing and the other was to slut-shaming Nancy. Now, these were him being a jerk, I won't deny it. But all of it happened because of Barb's vanishing. And if you want to argue that Steve would have been a jerk to Nancy sooner or later, you forgot one detail: Steve decided on his own to end his toxic friendship with Tommy and Carol (if it wasn't for them, he wouldn't have called Nancy a slut). Steve was already annoyed by Tommy when he made fun of Jonathan's missing brother. And even if the fight with Jonathan wouldn't happen without Barb's vanishing, the fact that Steve ditched Tommy and Carol without Nancy proving him that she wasn't cheating on him shows that Steve was on the edge of leaving them either way.

Imagine what would happen if Barb didn't disappear that night. She would be there next day, reasurring Nancy that no one is looking at her weird (Nancy is being very paranoid because she lost her virginity and don't want the school to know), then Nancy is happy, she had a great night and she talks about it with Barb, Barb would hope that Nancy knew what she was doing and hoped Steve won't ruin her reputation. Then, something horrifying happened: they saw Steve and his friends bothering Jonathan Byers, they come close to them and find out Jonathan took pictures of them the previous night, especially one with Nancy in her underwears, just before she had sex with Steve. Imagine things from her perspective: the guy she comforted the previous night about his missing brother took time the previous night to take pictures of her half-naked, develop it, and keep in. Barb would have been beyond furious. I don't think she would care if Jonathan was poor. She would approve Steve breaking his camera, if not do it first, admiring how protective he is of her, and she would want to get Nancy as far away as possible of Jonathan. And let's be honest, whether Nancy would pity Jonathan or not, if Barb is with her, there's no way she would approach him even again. And like that, Steve would have get the girl. Not because of Nancy is a stupid naive girl who thinks dating the popular boy is cool. But because Steve would show the best of him, thanks to Nancy. He would eventually ditch Tommy and Carol, support her, grow up the more he hangs out with her. Prove me wrong!

Something Season 2, 3 and 4 did right was Steve's character growth and Jancy's toxic couple. And like everything well, Season 5 had to fuck everything up! Nancy is now a girl-boss, who rolls her eye when Steve shows off (she was smirking for the same reason in Season 4), she was making fun of his "6 nuggets" dream and by focusing on that, she agreed with Jancy shippers even though SHE WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. She doesn't even talk to him about her feelings. The only scene when she talked was to talk to tell he can't take a weapon because he never shot him. By the way, how hypocritical, coming from the girl who became a natural shooter since the first time she shot with a gun in season 1. Yeah, I hated Nancy in season 5 so much (the only scene I sympathize was the one where she was crying, while trying to clean her mother's blood from her sweater.) I also hated Steve too because he softened a little too much. I would want him to call her out on her bullshit but we can't have that, otherwise "how character would be ruined" and "Steve would have been a sexiest asshole for daring talking back to Nancy." In other words, they get the Movie Ron/Hermione treatment. One became a girlboss who yelled at everyone constantly, and the other a pathetic comic relief who got dumber and dumber.

Imagine if they got back to their S1 personalities minus jerk Steve. Steve would move away his babysitter status (something he wanted to do in S4) and would be once again a start-smart, respectful, protective and supporting boyfriend. And Nancy would get over her guilt over Barb and be like, "screw this, I like parties, I like wearing pink, I like a guy who priorities me, I am Nancy f*cking Wheeler, I am not an innocent girl, I'm the woman who is drinking beers in one go and having sex when I want to. I'm the girl who gets the popular guy."

That's how I think Steve and Nancy should have ended. S1 Stancy is criminally underrated. Their scenes deserve more praise.

"All the Time in the World" Pt 2

<prev | next>

Sorry for the slight shift in art style. I can't figure out what brush I used to use and this was quicker, so. This might be the new style moving forward, lol. Not the most thrilling continuation after such a long delay. This piece is short but necessary. (can you see why procrastination turned into 3 months of the art block abyss) I'm really pumped for the next one though, finally, finalllly at the good stuff. It should be ready on Sunday. <3

Anti-Anti-Stancy Part 2

Okay, I'm ready for round number 2 of Stancy vs Stranger Things Fandom.

Special mention to @dreamfinder83 who pointed this out in the comments of my previous list : "Steve doesn't care about Nancy's dream only his own."

"As if their conversation wasn't interrupted and then never finished." That's a perfect way to put it. God, I hated how Nancy never had to speak to Steve in season 5. They just made Steve and Joanthan decide for her. So much for the strong girl, who can't even speak from her heart to two guys. Also Steve is not selfish. Even in season 1, he cared. I mean, a guy who only cared about his own dream would not let Nancy go so easily in season 2. Not to much he told her he was the MOST IMPORTANT PART. I'm sure, Jancy fans will be annoying to hear this line over and over but yeah, they keep bringing up the "Six children, sound like a total nightmare" line as if it matters at all.

"Dustin is right to call out Steve for homewrecking Jancy"

I wish people stop using Season 5 to bash on Stancy. First of all, everything in Season 5 is just a retcon on everything that people hated on Season 4, in a desperate way to please fans. Second of, Dustin was laughing and teasing Steve when he showed he still has feelings on Nancy. Third, in this season tried to make us believe that Steve just moved on her feelings with Nancy off-screen. So, following this logic, Steve was genuinely helping as a friend. So yeah, your desperate attempts to bash a ruined couple with great potentiels don't work.

"So people are mad at Jonathan for taking pictures, while he apologizes, but not Steve, who slut-shamed Nancy and didn't apologize?!"

Okay, one, only something who never had his/her privacy ruined would ask this. Two, Jonathan's excuse is that he just wanted to see the real her. This implies that he constantly takes pictures to people without consent if he knows he would see the "real her" by doing this. Three, he needed to take in her underwear, have it developed and got caught by Steve, his friends and Nancy to realize what he did was wrong. Four, Steve got slapped for it, while Jonathan got away scott-free. Five, Steve was on his way to Jonathan's home to apologize to him and you think he didn't apologize to Nancy after Season 1. Nancy wouldn't have get back with him if he didn't make any effort. Come on!

"Nancy only stayed with Steve out of remorse for Barb."

She stayed in one year with the guy she chose Barb out of remorse over for Barb! ONE YEAR! Seriously?! I just can't with this argument, I really can't! Did people forget that Nancy was happy with her relationship with Steve before Barb's death. She was smiling by thinking about him, was in control on their relationship, had a good time with his friends, slowly felt more confident (she wanted to keep their relationship secret but kissed him at school in front of her locker.) Nancy stayed with Steve because she really wanted to make their relationship work. Barb didn't make her come back to him, she makes him break up with him.

That's all for today. I have to go to work. See you later!

nancy always running from steve because he was the one who, at the very least, had a glimpse of her before everything—before she left for boston and before everything fell apart and before she was very much so traumatized (!!!!!!) and before life snatched girlhood away and before barb died—and that shit be terrifying! someone who got a good look of you before, fell in love with you and everything they saw, and STAYED IN LOVE THROUGH ALL THE THINGS THAT CHANGED YOU FOR THE BETTER AND WORSE TO THE EXTENT THAT IT CHANGES THEM TOO send tweet
