Nancy: Hang on, where did your freckles go?
Robin: Oh, they fade away during the winter.
*10 minutes later*
Nancy, punching the snow aggressively: Give. her. back. her. freckles. you. stupid. bitch.

Maya and Natalie shipping Ronance really does say a lot because those two know the characters the best. Sure, the Duffers created them, but Natalie gave Nancy her badassery and Maya gave Robin her snarkiness. Those women made Nancy and Robin, Nancy and Robin, and if they think Ronance is a good ship, IT’S A GOOD FUCKING SHIP.

ever since maya and natalie have been talking about leaning into ronance & joseph quinn has been saying a lot of things about how he changed eddie’s characters from the original creation done by the duffer brothers (his rings, being more friendly than mean, his queerness), i’ve been thinking a lot more about the way that fandom perceives writers opinions v actors' acting choices.
i think that fans tend to value the opinions of writers more than actors because we have been taught by some fandoms *cough cough* that actors' decisions are unimportant. when in reality, i think characters' personalities heavily come from the way the actor plays them and perceives them. this is very evident in joe and maya discussing the bathroom scene in s3 and joseph creating eddie's image.
no way in hell the duffer brothers intended for eddie to be a queer character. they have shown time and time again they don’t care about queer characters, let alone enough to make them well-written queer characters. however, joseph has stated that he intentionally played up eddie's attraction/flirtation to steve because he thought it fit his character.
i think in fandom we’re very easily dismissive of ourselves and our interpretations of media because we’ve been so harmed in the past by creators and writers of shows. i think a lot more emphasis needs to be placed on the way that actors interpret characters, because generally they are the ones that know the best since they play them.
this was long and rambly but heavily inspired by @wastedonyoursmile 's post about the duffers & queerbaiting.
