went through your stoncy tag and my delusional ass is now imagining how good they could make it in s5 if they just took the scene where nancy says that steve has changed and, instead of making it about that fucking love triangle again, make it about at least them being friends bc jonathan decides to make an effort to see where steve is at and steve is like ‘i’m a changed man your honour i will give you movies for free’ and omg jonathan going to blockbuster and being all awkward and robin forcing steve to be the one to talk to him bc she knows nancy would want them to be at least friends and AAAAH!!!!!
asdfghk firstly HI i remember i followed u when u were marybennetqueerera, i saw your url and was like. SO TRUE. and you have been putting quality posts on my dash ever since <33
anyways YES. stonathan awkwardly bonding over movies is something that can actually be so personal to me. they both are trying so hard to make an awkward but are such cringefail losers about it. beautiful.
i raise you THIS: s5. the teens (stoncy+robin) are on yet another mission into the upside down. nancy and robin break off to trek ahead together, of course, leaving steve and jonathan to have a heart to heart. steve acknowledges that he's not trying to get in the way of jonathan and nancy, and reaffirms that he wants them to be on good terms. something something i don't have this totally fleshed out in my head but ultimately jonathan is like. what if i wanted you to get in the way. and steve thinks at first jonathan's saying he wants to break up with nancy, but that's not the case... jonathan wants to have them both, and steve does too
cue lots of shenanigans and drama and action fighting the upside down, but when it's finally vanquished and the smoke has cleared, the three of them emerge together. and none of them are willing to let go.
