Dive Deep into Creativity: Discover, Share, Inspire
Might be a hot take, but I don't like Nancy and Robin bonding and falling in love because of shared trauma. I don't like Nancy falling for Robin because Jonathan hasn't been there when she shot Vecna or when the vines got her, but Robin was. I don't like Robin falling for Nancy because she's the only one who understands her experiences with the upside down, or vice versa.
I like them hanging out and finding out each other's quirks and slowly falling for each other, realizing that the feelings they're feeling isn't friendship. I want them both ranting to Steve about one another. I want Nancy to look at Robin and realize how weird she is, and that's why she loves her. I want Robin to think Nancy's straight, I want Nancy to think she's straight too and for her feelings to be confusing. I want them dancing in the rain. I want them getting drunk with Steve and Eddie, and being the only ones left awake, talking about shared interests. I want them to show each other their respective music and movie tastes. I want them to, despite the upside down, have a normal romance.
Because, after a rewatch, has Nancy truly been in love with anyone outside of the bonds she's made through traumatic events?
