This is just purely out curiosity, no more no less. Did anyone here actually interact or read anything ElenaTaber Snark or whatever she calls herself?

Feel to comment your feelings about it.

Note: I am not fan of Elena nor do I support her other than the fact some of the hate she gets is uncalled for. I do not wish harm upon her even if I think someone could do better but it’s not my life. She did do some controversial stuff and the Reddit post said a lot. However, there are worst people out there and that includes other celebrities and influencers.

Why can’t people be fucking normal in celebrity fandoms? You have the parasocial people. The ones who constantly over sexualize celebrities. The social people who get butt hurt over people asking they can join their community when discord is free and can form there. The toxic blog pages that love to spread hurtful filth or rumors that could cause harm. I could go on. Seriously what happened to fandom etiquette.

I need $450 to take care of a combination of a plumbing emergency and the electric bill next month (thank you, early billing). Every little bit helps!

Thankfully this should be the last time I'm in dire straits since I'm about to put my tax debt to bed and have bill consolidation/spring finally coming and not strangling me to death oilwise. Please boost this if you can!

strange research topic of the day: alternative artistic renderings of Gollum from the Tolkien universe pre-Peter Jackson 3d model.

guys. there's so much to discuss.

WHAAAT! WHAT WHAT WHAT okay let me unpack at least two of them

top right from the b&ws, which is from an early multilingual edition of the hobbit. cannot find any information on the illustrator but wow this take is so strange the eyes haunt me

don't even get me started on the 1967 The Hobbit "Goll-oom" take in the bottom right of this post. this film by itself is a strange take but truly this is the only panel of Gollum in the whole short film and WHAAAAT. WHAAAT.

I think one reason why some people (not at all so please don’t attack me) is because people find Steve to be more attractive than Jonathan. I’ve seen so many comments like that and it’s bit sad honestly. Like when season four dropped and some people were going feral over Henry before learning he’s Vecna. Steve and Nancy both have grown, but they are better apart and make as good friends despite being exes. Being friends after being exes is different and they show it a nice respectful way. I also think they see Steve as the hero that can save Nancy as he’s always saving the kids. Even though Nancy has shown she can handle herself in most situations.

While I will occasionally agree the chemistry with Nancy and Jonathan may occasionally seem dry, but I think this is more a writer and decisions thing. To me they just seem like a couple comfortable with each other and trust one another. As if you think about it, Nancy and Jonathan knew each other through their brothers. Not close friends, but Jonathan clearly had a crush on her for a long time before the events of season 1. Because as well the two actors are a committed real life couple, but they may also play the angle of who will be Nancy’s final choice just to tease the fans from photos and show direction. As well the two characters were doing a long distance during a time where they only had phone calls and letters. Second, their relationship, neither is the love triangle, is not the main plot so of course we are not going to get EVERY aspect of their relationship. Throughout the show we see Jonathan letting Nancy shine and supporting her in her aspirations. His main goals are somewhat similar to hers as they both want to college. Different colleges sure, but they have experience with long distance before. Or they may change their minds as if you remember Jonathan originally wanted a college in New York over California. Hell there may not even be a college for Nancy to go to by S5. Personally I feel some of the fandom wants Steve and Nancy together as they may find Steve more conventionally attractive than Jonathan.

Steve deserves love of course, but if he’s with Nancy I feel it would be like how Nancy’s parents are. Especially after seeing his little confession in season 4. Which first that was out line and disrespectful towards her relationship. You wouldn’t want your friend even if an ex basically saying they still love you as your in a little distant and rough patch in the relationship. But Steve’s future dreams does not align with Nancy’s with the big family and big house. This is something Nancy and the show made clear back in season one it is not something she wants. As well he should move on. She wasn’t the first girl he dated but she was more likely his first love. While Nancy and Jonathan were each other’s first love.

And before anyone brings up the whole photograph thing and Steve going along with the slut shaming of Nancy. Yes they both hurt and insulted Nancy in a way. But it is clear Nancy has forgiven them both even if the writers chose not to go in a deep dive of the photos and the slut shaming. The photos were bad, but so was Steve allowing his friends to insult his current girlfriend/fling just because his ego got hurt and he didn’t even talk to Nancy about it in the morning just did what he did at the theater. As well Steve did could not understand Nancy’s pain in S2 as he just wanted to move on. He had a good idea but he went about it wrong. Jonathan knew how Nancy felt. He probably felt similar when he lost his brother and understood the need for answers and getting something out there to warn people.

Jonathan and Nancy do have a little rough patch in S3 but both had understanding points. Jonathan comes from a tax bracket where you have to work and it can difficult to get a good job. While Nancy can get in doors, but she will always be held back for being an independent woman. But then when shit hits the fan Jonathan helps Nancy again and even tries to get her out before El took care of a part of the midnflayer. And they could have broken Nancy and Jonathan up when he was moving to Cali. Instead they wrote it to where they have a long distance. And to me it seems Nancy hasn’t seen Steve a lot from after that to when she does see Steve in S4.

Either way both guys, would die for Nancy if it came to it.
