♡ NACE APPRECIATION WEEK ♡ ↳ DAY 4 (AUGUST 10): Nace + other character(s)

[onceuponamirror]

Hey, I know this is a weird stretch but are you possibly the person that wrote a really good Riverdale Fanfiction about a Mechanic Betty and a Struggling Writer Jughead Jones? I vividly remember binging it on AO3, the chapter titles were lines of Fleetwood Mac's Landslide and Jughead Jones' character arc was paralleled by his lessening hate for Don't Stop Believing. I miss it with all my heart and have been looking for years but it's deleted or private, please send help. Thanks & have a nice day

hi! wow i'm sorry i haven't been on tumblr in a while so this response took me more than a hot minute, but this was such a nice message to come back to!!

it's not a stretch, that was indeed me who wrote that! i took it down a few years ago for a couple of reasons---combination i was feeling self conscious and also probably was annoyed with riverdale as a show lol. i forget the driving factor.

mainly though, i'd like to do something with the core of the story so am planning on rewriting it---dunno what will come of that but i just didn't feel like the two things could co-exist. however, i will say it's not deleted, just private, so i may change my mind and allow it to be visible again.

it means a lot to me that people still think of that fic and ask me about it, truly. the story itself represents a lot to me so it just...warms my heart to read this. i wish i had a better answer than "it's there you just can't see it" lol, but i'm hoping it'll exist in another iteration again, elsewhere.

much love!!

if stede can read pinocchio (which came out in 1883) then i see no reason he can’t use his phonograph (invented in 1877) to listen to beloved british-american rock band fleetwood mac (timeless)

'Nancy Drew' showrunners break down season 3 finale bombshells, tease season 4 hopes

Warning: spoilers ahead! 'Nancy Drew' showrunners break down those season 3 finale bombshells and tease season 4 renewal chances.

Did you always know you were going to end this season with a Groundhog Day-like do over for Nancy?

NOGA LANDAU: No. Usually we know exactly what we’re doing ahead of time. But we always knew that Nancy was going to stop Temperance from destroying the town, that she was going to stop her from opening the veil all the way. But we didn’t know and what became apparent as we were breaking the finale was that the episode wasn’t ever really about that. It was about beginning a new chapter for Nancy and it was about her and Ace. And it was about introducing this idea of heroism and sacrifice and having to give up everything that you want in order to do what’s right. But also it’s bringing up this idea of fate and whether or not you can truly fight fate. And that’s something we’re going to be talking about in season 4.

The finale was an emotional roller coaster and Kennedy was breaking my heart in every scene. How has this vision of the future Nancy almost/could have had affected her going into a potential season 4?

HSU TAYLOR: It’s going to weigh heavily on her mind. To her, the experience of being responsible for Ace’s death in a car crash was very emotionally real to her. That’s going to be quite the deterrent anytime she even wants to give him a look that she wouldn’t give to a platonic friend. Her mind is so regimented that she will train herself not to let him know how she feels, which is going to convince him all the more that something’s going on, because he knows Nancy wouldn’t be one day about to kiss him and the next day like he’s just somebody she barely knows. It’s going to live in her mind in a really real way and influence a lot of her actions.

LANDAU: Yeah, season 4 is going to be a season of intense yearning for both of them. [Laughs] It’s only ramping it up even more, for sure. For me, this show is always about the simmering love and yearning — for multiple characters, but especially for Nancy and now for Nancy and Ace together.

'Nancy Drew' Bosses on That Finale Heartbreak and What Might Come Next

Can the curse be reversed?

Oh my God, you two! I understand Nancy choosing to save her town, but now she is making a choice that I question. Because given everything that they’ve gone through, why not just tell Ace about Temperance’s curse?

Noga Landau: Oh, that’s a great question. So…first of all, she doesn’t know for sure yet if telling him would just instantly trigger the curse. Because Temperance is really sneaky and she might have built that in there. You see when all that Nancy does is almost kiss him and the barometer breaks. So there’s that. But I also think Nancy knows on some level that if she tells Ace the truth, then Ace would stop at nothing to undo the curse and that will likely trigger the curse. They’ve learned by now that you shouldn’t try and mess with Temperance’s magic; it’s very risky. So I think she’s doing this to protect him and herself.

Ace is no dummy and he’s seen this behavior in her before. How soon do you imagine he’ll figure this out?

Melinda Hsu Taylor: Not that long. I mean, I think it’s a big question on his mind coming into hopefully Season 4. At the end, when she leaves his apartment, he says, “Are you in trouble? What are you hiding from me?” So he needs to figure that out. And I think that there will be other things for Nancy to be in trouble with, so maybe she’ll be able to divert him for a little bit? But as an audience member, I want him to know very soon and for her to deny, deny, deny.
