#ronance proof

[ronancediaries]

Robin Buckley went into Nancy Wheeler’s room, teased her about having a Tom Cruise poster…

And then dressed in almost an exact replica of Tom Cruise’s army costume in “Taps” (1981).

okay i’m back with another stranger things theory post

so i was thinking about this bts shot we got earlier on

and i realized. this isn’t the same shot as the one in the teaser

this one.

nancy’s sitting above and right next to robin in both shots, but is in two different outfits. it’s the same location, different moments.

so we get at least two different scenes of nancy choosing to sit like that above robin, and an awkward distance away from jonathan (her current canon boyfriend) in that first shot

like. c’mon.

also she keeps having that lamp framed right behind her in all of these shots

this definitely means something but i need to think about it

i need to write a whole like essay about these shots alone i’m insane

Okay so surely someone has pointed this out before BUT.

In episode one nancy is wearing head to toe pastel pink. In fact all of her outfits this season are pink in some capacity.

Jonathan SPECIFICALLY states that he took her pink sweater to goodwill and that he HATES pink.

And what song is Robin playing on the radio??? PRETTY IN PINK

RONANCE NATION RISE NEW RONANCE PROOF, THEORY, AND PARALLEL JUST DROPPED

Worth the read!! /srs

i think both mileven and jancy are both NOT endgame

let me explain

we saw mike + el and nancy + jonothan paralleled to each other back in season 1, with mike asking nancy if she likes jonothan and nancy asking mike if he likes el, with both replying with some form of “no”

now, the scene with mike and el that we just got in the teaser is definitely a breakup scene

i’m not going to rehash everything other people have said, but the framing and body language say it all. the look in mike’s eyes, the way they’re sitting, the yellow curtains in the first shot, finally open and letting light in. mike is breaking up with el because he loves will, and el understands. mike’s eyes are telling her, “i love you, but not in that way, i’m sorry”

and then, there’s the scene with nancy and jonothan, led up to by jonothan’s voiceover

“after what we’ve been through, this thing… it ties us together. forever.”

the tone of his voice with those lines and the looks on both of their faces aren’t the kind of things you’d really expect to be paired with a canon couple. nancy looks sad, yet understanding. she looks like she’s going to cry, but she’s also nodding to jonothan’s words.

these two scenes were placed back to back, which caught my attention. then, i compared the shots of mike and nancy

not the exact same, but very similar. looking forward at the people they’ve been paired with for a majority of the show with a certain look in their eyes, with said people facing them in the right side of the frame with their faces hidden from us. after thinking back to that scene in season 1 i mentioned at the start of the post, it wouldn’t make sense to only break up one of those couples, it would make much more sense to break up both, it would bring it more full circle.

also, don’t forget we’re getting an emotional mike and nancy scene this season

thanks for coming to my ted talk

sunny is BACK AGAINNN with more ronance analysis

so i was thinking about the nancy wheeler queercoding essay that @whiteshoespinklaces wrote and the symbolism of pink with nancy’s character, then i was connecting that with how nancy seems to frequently wear the color blue around robin then to some season 5 stuff

in past seasons, we’ve seen nancy wearing very pink-heavy outfits, and it tends to be when she’s paired very heavily with one of the boys

in season one, she wears pink when with steve. steve, as we know, is very wealthy and has dreams of having a family with many children and a housewife in the suburbs, which is the opposite of what nancy wants. she says it herself in the show. there isn’t much more i can say about nancy and steve without repeating everything that others have said

in season 3, we see her wearing pink outfits like the hot pink one (left) and the pinkish-white one with gray stripes (right). in this season, we see her clash with jonathan more because he doesn’t understand her struggles as a woman in journalism. he brushes them off just because she’s from a family who are better off financially, he doesn’t see how much she’s fighting against the misogyny in her workplace. we know nancy wants to be independent, to follow her dreams, but there’s friction between her and jonathan on the subject

meanwhile, in season 4 when she’s paired with robin, we see her decked out in blue. her jean jacket is blue, the stripes on her shirt in the forest scene appear like a dark blue, and even her outfit when her and robin were pretending to be scholars was blue, while robin’s outfit was evidently pink. the outfit robin felt incredibly uncomfortable and out of place in was pink, while the outfit nancy felt comfortable and confident in was blue.

when everyone is back together at the end of season 4, we see nancy in a blue shirt but with other colors on it at the top, sort of like a clash or collision of two different versions of her

in the season 5 teaser, we see nancy in a pink outfit with her blue jean jacket sitting next to robin. we can see from a lot of teasers and bts that nancy’s going to wear a lot of pink this season, but the fact she’s wearing her blue jacket while sitting directly next to robin and with the only other people in the room being will and el is interesting.

then, we have this bts shot where nancy is sitting right by robin again, but this time she’s entirely in pink with jonathan sitting an awkward distance away. we see a bit of robin’s sleeve, which is blue. then, in front of her, we see will. a character who is gay, but still widely closeted. he’s in blue.

robin, who is a known gay character and is out to at least steve, is wearing blue. will, a gay character who isn’t explicitly out yet, wearing blue. then nancy, wearing entirely pink.

and then, we see a lot of blue in another gay pairing. byler.

when mike is with will, he often wears blue. blue is his color in that pairing.

when mike is with el, he tends to wear less blue, a lot more yellow.

also, mike and nancy have been paralleled when it comes to their relationships since season 1 (“do you like eleven/jonathan now?”)

it’s interesting

Jancy x Ronance Parallel

“Screw that”

I think this is such an important parallel because it’s really a moment that defines nancys character more, defined her beliefs, and what she wants in life. And then if we add in how Robin was standing up for Nancy against misogyny compared to Jonathan last season who invalidtaed her feelings and told her just to give it time. Robin didn’t waste any time, Robin stood up for themselves, and would support Nancy in doing the same.

I think that this “screw that” both applies to a situation that shows that the previous love interest doesn’t understand the current/future one. With Steve he wants completely different things than Nancy, even to this day, and Jonathan doesn’t want something like that either, he understood. Now with Robin, she understood, when Jonathan didn’t, just as Steve didn’t.
