☕️ fanon nursey :)
I waited to answer cause I needed to stew on it...give this the PROPER tea it deserves!!!
Disclaimer: nursey-patrol is my url yes and i have def fallen into fanon nursey when I was a lil less independent minded in the fandom but these facts still stand!!!
Fanon nursey is deadass racist. Either nursey is uwu soft boy to supposedly combat the stereotype of “strong” inhuman black men OR he’s a total asshole whose standoffish and a dick to everyone (specifically DEX). The uwu soft boy is out of character- Nursey is into poetry yes, but I dont know where the idea that Nursey is a stepping stone and doesnt fight back in fights came from cause canonically he gives as good as he gets! And in the fics/characterization where he isn’t a complete soft boy, he’s outright mean and out of hand with Dex. And then he gets penalized for doing so. He bullies Dex who is just the hapless white boy whose never seen a black person so of course he says some mean things!! And he’s a manly man so of course he’s blah about poetry.. why would expect him to try to understand his teammate tf??
I like nursey because he’s complex- Bitty is an unrealiable narrator and he only says a little bit- Nursey went to Andover, he speaks French (I think dont quote me), he fights with desk, he likes poetry. Thats plenty there!!!! What kind of poetry? What was Andover like as a black kid? What does he want to do with English? What EXACTLY is he passionate about- enough to break through the chill?? <= those questions are so compelling to me like what is this black hockey player up to! What are his experiences like!!!!!!
Instead we get “nursey loves Dex so much :) Dex is so mean to him and he likes it :) He’s mean to Dex and how ciuld he!1!!1 Dex doesnt know any better :)
Its also so focused on his looks which is annoying. You can really tell whose trying to flesh out characters and who thinks its fun to write a black character with no dad/no parents just for the dRaMA ! Im over it the only correct nursey interpretation is of me and my mutuals period
