The full video of the Jancy hope interview for those who cannot access the link. I’ll reblog with a full transcript later when I have time.

It's a bummer that the writing sucked and their story wasn't given its due, but I still can't take the Jancy breakup seriously. It just really felt so inconsequential and contrived and baffling that it's hard to be moved either way about it. And I don't even necessarily mean all the longing looks or both of them plastering themselves to the other's side or Jonathan repeatedly jumping headlong into danger for Nancy. The epilogue just feels like such a pause. Such an "eat their cake and have it too" ending.

In case anyone wants it, here’s the full scripted goo room scene:

I can’t believe they took “Wow. Okay. they invented a genre of music…but yeah 🙄” away from us man fuck this show

In the time that I have been away from the Jancy tag, I have been thinking in this scenario where Jonathan doesn't get hit by the breakup until someone asks him out at NYC and he realize that he CAN look at someone else, that he CAN flirt with someone else, that he CAN have dates with someone else, AND HE FUCKING HATES IT 🥲

WIP Wednesday

“Listen if this is how you're going to be the whole time then maybe-” “It's not that, I just don't like airplane bathrooms” Jonathan confesses, as they make their way through the terminal.  “Oh, I didn't know that” Nancy mutters, almost more to herself than to him.    “Why would you?” he responds with a laugh, but  it comes harsher than he intended.  He can feel a part of her shrink. Maybe this is a bad idea. A decade ago, he would’ve said she knew him better than anyone, but there’s too many layers between now and then. He doubts she has the patience to peel them back.  They’re not seventeen anymore. “What did you do when you went to Africa?” she questions, loudly, assertively, as though she’s recommitting to her study of him.  “Held it” he shrugs. Why is he telling her that?  “The whole time?” Nancy responds, skeptically.   “No” Jonathan laughs, easier this time “We had like four layovers”   “CNN spared no expense” she jokes, tucking into the Hudson News  “They really didn't”  he murmurs as she peruses the books.  “But you like it right?” she asks, as she reads the dust-jacket of High Fidelity. “Can't complain” he answers, it’s at least partly true. Sure, the traveling is terrible and the deadlines are stressful but for a kid from the wrong side of the tracks in Hawkins he hasn’t done too poorly for himself.   “I'm sure the Emmy helps” Nancy snides and for the tiniest moment they’re in the woods again.

I do not care if it’s unrealistic there is something so compelling about two people who have known each other their entire lives but don’t really see each other until they’re forced together during the worst week of their lives. Going through something incredibly traumatic and they are the only ones that understand exactly what happened because they were there for each other. Somehow falling in love with each other in the midst of it. Then trying their fucking hardest to deny feelings and resume “normal”  life but they can’t because of the way that they’re bonded together. And they have a matching mark that they both chose to give themselves to prove it. Choosing to be in love knowing that they would each change that first week if they could. Looking at all the garbage they’ve gone through and knowing they can endure whatever comes next even if it seems impossible. Reaching for each other’s hands as they brace for the apocalypse because there isn’t an alternative.

The way this show used silence and gave space to that silence to show jancy's intimacy and bond is truly a lost art in all the following seasons.

Jonathan being tempted by conformity (the ring), being pushed on him, despite knowing it’s not what Nancy (or he) needs or wants, and ultimately rejecting it shows just how well he knows Nancy. In this essay, I’ll…

It DOES make an interesting mirror to Steve in season four, who offers Nancy the kind of conformity that she has been pushing against the whole time. Because he’s poorly suited for Nancy and doesn’t understand her at all.
