demonizing steve for being caring, compassionate, and empathetic under the guise of “all he cares about is giving her flowers” is the dumbest shit i’ve seen in a while. god forbid a friend try to offer support for their friend who is going through a hard time. NEWSFLASH: these kinds of things are what you do for someone you care about who is experiencing hardship!
but j*n is who she should really be with, right? the guy who couldn’t even call her while they were long distance? the guy who still isn’t communicating with her even after a year and a half? the guy who is too busy projecting his relationship insecurities onto steve as opposed to talking things out with his gf. the list goes on.
steve is maintaining a respectful boundary, despite his feelings, and his first thought upon hearing what happened to nancy’s family was to go and check on her and give her support and comfort as any friend would. i don’t see how a person could be demonized for that. and anyone who sees it as steve having ulterior motives clearly doesn’t understand his character.
idk what it’ll take to make people see that j*n is not a good bf for nancy, bc if i were dating someone who couldn’t even be bothered to come and check on me while i’m dealing with my sibling being abducted and my parents barely clinging to life, i would not be dating that person anymore.
i understand having a job to do, but you can make time for loved ones.
