"Ronance." I say into the mic.

the crowd boos. People jeer at me "JANCY!" "STANCY!" "SIX LITTLE NUGGETS!"

I hang my head, ready to walk off stage in shame when a voice cries out, "She's right!"

I look out into the crowd and standing there in the front row is ronance-truther Natalia Dyer herself, "Robin and Nancy ARE SO in love BITCHES!"

I really wish people thought about ronance more. I ship steddie and they have no scenes alone. Ronance looks like a real relationship arc. They start with Robin thinking Nancy’s a priss, then they meet and robin pisses off Nancy but then find themselves beyond this making a connection in a fucked up time. When the have to pair up, Nancy automatically wants Robin, who she has known for the least time and Robin isn’t surprised and goes immediately. They constantly stare at each other. They both initiate handholds: Nancy when she drags Robin off to run from the mental hospital and Robin in the upside down. Robin doesn’t mind about Vickie because she has other things (or people???) on her mind. The ship works for so many reasons. C,mon!

Nancy's face goes through an expressive Journey™ during Robin's rant at Dr. Hatch and I love it.

She obviously starts out anxious and frustrated that she can't openly argue against Robin's unexpected new tactic.

Look at this face. This is the face of a quietly terrified woman who desperately wants to fix the situation, but no idea how.

But then Robin starts to get into the Petey McHew story and something starts to change.

The frustration has fled.

She's starting to see the heart and purpose of this rant. But still, that worry, is this the right way to do this? It's impressive, but could go so wrong.

Then there's this look. This right here is the real kicker.

This is the moment that Nancy fell just a little more in love with Robin.

It's before she knew if it worked. She's still nervous about that as you can see here.

That moment was not because Robin was successful, though Nancy was far more hopeful about that than previously. This moment is reminiscent of the last scene in the library when Robin challenged her idea further along, and Nancy stared at her in wonder. Yet another moment where Robin proves she is so much more than she first appears and Nancy is really starting to catch onto that fact.

In that moment, Nancy is just a little in awe, of the passion she is capable of pulling out of seemingly nowhere, of the genius of this move, of her. Robin makes her think, makes her question and reconsider, and open her mind to more possibilities, and you can see the growth of their relationship through a series of instances like these throughout the season.

Thinking about the library scene and how that one shot of Nancy looking at Robin like she’s in love (not the cute and annoyed “you never know” look, the one after that where she looks a little lost and can’t look away from Robin, you know the one) and thinking about how that moment isn’t actually Robin saying something sweet or affirming or caring toward Nancy, it’s her contradicting her.

Nancy says that’s super convenient for Victor and Robin says ‘or super inconvenient’ and for the first time maybe ever in Nancy’s life, someone is arguing with her not to shoot her down, but to push her theory forward. And the fact that that is what has Nancy going all disbelieving heart eyes toward Robin—the idea that she finds someone who actually does believe her shot in the dark but isn’t just going to tag along passively and it has her immediately smitten—is 1) lowkey kinda hilarious, like c’mon Nance and 2) really just phenomenally sweet? And honestly what a strong central core for their budding relationship. What an excellent first example of the way they will continue to both challenge and support each other throughout the season.

And I think this is one of my favorite things about ronance: it really feels like Nancy finally meets her match. Other characters have been willing to keep up with her but it almost always comes from their own motivations (which is fine) or a sense of trying to placate her (which is less fine). Hell, Jonathan spends most of s3 not believing her but tagging along anyway, placating her and her wild theories, and that’s why they have such a huge fight when shit hits the fan. He was supporting her because she’s his girlfriend, not because he actually supported her.

And then comes s4, and Robin owes Nancy nothing when she goes to the library with her. She goes because she genuinely believes Nancy will have a brilliant idea that will save the day. And then she stays because, despite the fact that things aren’t going well, they still might be on to something. And as soon as there’s even a possibility that they might be right, Robin is the one arguing with Nancy that this might be the information they need

And so Nancy stares at her like she’s seeing her for the first time, because when was the last time someone argued with her in a way that wasn’t painfully personal? When was the last time someone challenged her without belittling her? When was the last time someone believed in her so freely and wholeheartedly that they took her ideas and ran with them before Nancy even had a chance to prove herself? Hell, I’d be immediately smitten, too

"ronance may not have interacted much but the writers DID [...] accidentally make robin nancy’s 'type' (intelligent but slightly weird social outcast kid with a heart of gold a la jonathan byers)" [x]
