Someone make a stancy vs j-ncy gifset and it's just
Steve being charmed by Nancy's butterfly stickers in her locker in s1
vs Jonathan admitting he got rid of her pink sweater because he doesn't like the color pink (lmaooo)
Steve telling Nancy "it's okay" in s2 when their relationship was clearly over and she was already moving on to Jonathan
vs Jonathan intending to slow motion breakup with Nancy, keeping her tethered to his miserable ass for 18 months
s1 Steve apologizing for "messing up" (aka the infamous "slut" graffiti incident)
vs Jonathan getting called out for taking pics of Nancy as she was undressing and turning the moment into a character attack on her
s4 Steve "I'm here, I'm right here"
vs Jonathan's "sorry I wasn't here" (or from season 3, his sarcastic "I'm here now" and Nancy's equally sarcastic "hallelujah!")
s5 Steve coming up with the idea to drive his beamer through the Upside Down rift to find Holly, waiting for the "do it" go-ahead from Nancy
vs Jonathan - idk, pick one of the half dozen times he contributed literally nothing to the team in s5, including him wanting to "stick to the plan" after Nancy's parents were almost killed and Holly was taken
Steve's hopeful "you're there, you've always been there" 6 little nugget dream from s4
vs Jonathan venting to Argyle about his and Nancy's relationship leading to their kids hating him, Nancy resenting him
s4 Steve telling Nancy how he crawled backwards as a baby but "I can change. I can learn, I can crawl forward"
vs s3 Jonathan's mean and bitter "the real world sucks, deal with it like the rest of us" acceptance of the status quo, passively stagnant as always
s4 Steve volunteering to jump into Lover's Lake
vs s5 Jonathan only volunteering to climb the radio tower after Steve had already decided to
"he makes me laugh" Steve awkwardly trying to quote Sherlock, the "you almost shot me with that" / "you almost deserved it" moment, Steve and his Squawk sound effects
vs how suffocated Nancy admitted she felt with Jonathan, pick any number of times he's sat or stood uselessly by her side, frowning and miserable
Etc etc
