NANCY DREW | nancy loving ace just the way he is (in every reality)

OKAY OKAY LET'S FUCKING TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE NANCY DREW HAS AND ALWAYS WILL LOVE ACE FOR JUST THE WAY HE IS - BECAUSE HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN BY HER SIDE, BECAUSE HE HAS ALWAYS GIVEN HER SPACE, BECAUSE HE HAS ALWAYS HELD IMPORTANCE TO HER EMOTIONS AND THE WAY SHE PROCESSES THINGS LIKE NO ONE ELSE

hgbajkfslgjkahfkjghkajhgfkhakg- i have so many thoughts I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS:

1. in the right panel you can see how much nancy wants to re-affirm him of everything he's done for her with a confession, you can see it on her face, when she tells him that he never lacked in her eyes, all she wants to do is live out her life with him and affirm him of how much him being just the way he is means to her - how perfect he is, how long withstanding, how unconditional - you can see it break her that she can't lie in bed with him and tell everything he is is enough. that she could never imaging loving a man that wasn't her best friend and one of the most intelligent and loving men she's gotten the pleasure of knowing

2. you can see ace just needing that reassurance FUCK you can see it on his face!!!!!! you can see how much he needs this confession, of how much he's being trying to fight all of these mounting insecurities and fears on his own, and how much the right words from nancy could make that fight easier, the fact that they were always meant to be, the fact that them coming together in that moment would have been affirmation enough, would have been waiting enough, for a lifetime of support from the woman he not only loves, but reveres. to crave validation his entire life and find purpose in himself and caring for someone else but never feeling enough, all that yearning and longing for nancy is just a bigg fucking angst fest in this scene, and only three words from nancy take to somewhat ease it

3. YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER IN THAT SCENE, HOW MUCH THEY BELIEVE IN ONE AND OTHER, how much nancy just fucking loves him, unconditionally, wholly and without any change to the man he is. and how much it kills them that she can't say it.

and so basically, this is the headspace i'm in rn:
