pairing: ronance word count: 14k rating: E

summary:

After four years of studying Linguistics, Robin is in desperate need of a break.

With the money she saved up these last few months, Robin books a plane ticket to Paris and decides to go on a solo-trip through Europe. While Paris and Vienna are amazing, she longs for some peace and quiet, for endless oceans and cloudless skies.

She ends up at the Greek island of Kalokairi, where she meets fellow graduate Nancy and together, they decide that the world is wide and they want to make some memories (and possibly fall in love in the process)

OR: a Mamma Mia! inspired gay Greek summer romance extravaganza

i think it's rather telling that out of all the ships for stranger things characters, byler is the only one where most of the people who ship the "gay alternative" fuckin hate the "straight canon."

ronance is a good ship, but jancy is too. elmax is adorable but lumax is iconic. even when people prefer the gay ship they often feel guilty about splitting up or negating the possibility of the straight ship, because both pairings are great!!!

say what you will about st*ddie, i personally don't care about it, but the amount of support for it vastly overshadows what's shown for st*ncy. seem contradictory to my point??? not at all, when canon doesn't point toward st*ncy endgame.

the stranger things writers know how to write good ships. lumax is fantastic. jancy is beloved. i have mixed feelings on hopper's development, but they built jopper very skilfully. st*ncy sucks because it's supposed to suck. we haven't seen much of rickie yet, but their few interactions were cute.

so why, for the love of god, is m'leven Like That??? it's not that the duffers can't write realistic or enjoyable relationships between younger teens because we've all seen how they've developed lumax. m'leven is a middle school romance that falls through the moment the pressure is on, and it's bloody realistic as that. it's not realistic as genuine soulmateism and it doesn't come anywhere near the standard set by the rest of the show.

i don't think the duffers are inconsistent writers. i think they're very consistent, they're just writing a varied set of relationship dynamics that don't all boil down to boy meets girl, the end.

It is tiring to be regarded as a 'homophobe' when you claim to not like a queer ship or say you do not think a queer ship is going to be canon & should not go canon. ST fandom has this type of fans especially Bylers and recently Ronancers. Sorry that I do not think Byler has a chance of being wrapped up in a nice way when the writers actively refused to even breakup Mileven in this season and intentionally added a confession scene on the show from Mike to El. We literally have 1 season left with everything else going on in a limited time frame but I am expected to be okay with the possible resolution of this whole thing, and should expect a nice wrap up where we supposedly will see Mileven break up, Mike and El moving on from each other, there will be a time for them to adjust to that, for Mike to consider dating Will HECK even for Will to consider confessing and dating Mike, for the writers to make that all believable to the audience in a nice way within the narrative.... and I am expected to like Ronance when Stobin is one of the most important platonic relationships on the show and we canonically know Nancy and Steve's break up was bad, and that Steve still has feelings for Nancy. I want to see representation, I really do but it feels like the fandom itself is bending any logic and sensibility to make a ship seem reasonable and make sense within the narrative... when it really does not.

God. Yeah. Like sure queer people can have internalized homophobia or intra community basis (like bi/a/trans phobia) etc but to say someone's a bigot just because they don't like the a fictional ship, or even that they just don't think it will be canon, is just silly and causing problems on purpose.

The intense blr shippers have really turned me off the ship, honestly. I have a few asks from them saved as drafts just to get them out of my inbox, and they're saying the same as others "we're fighting homophobia" "you're just as bad as people saying why don't we shut up about blr and ship mlvn if you don't think this has been part of a grand and epic master plan for the greatest romance ever" as well as just not understanding what the very specific phenomena of queerbaiting is, all telling me I don't belong in the ship because I don't ship it correctly. So. Makes me feel bad and really disappointed. People who ship mlvn (which my original post was also tagged, because it discusses them too) DIDNT come to my inbox and call me names or a fake shipper when I said I thought they should break up. Make of that what you will.

As much as Will and Mike getting together would mean to people, putting that much emotional weight and expectation and emphasis on a single aspect of a show, a single ship, is not healthy. It also, if it does happen, will not be the epic romance planned from the start they think it is. (We remember tjlc, right?? RIGHT??) If it happens it will possibly be slap dash and rushed, because you're right. There's a lot happening, the show struggles with ending/starting romances, and they are NOT the only characters that matter. The breathing room required for both Mike and El AND the audience to make the breakup feel real and that enough time has passed to not make Mike look like an asshole for immediately dating his ex's brother (and for Will not to look like an ass for dating his sister's ex?!?) Is now insufficient given how short the seasons are, and as you said, they should've broken up in S4 to pull that off.

And then the fandom would likely feel a bit cheated after building it up so much in their heads, only for it to be a bit of a flop. But I guess a lot of people don't mind how Nancy and Jonathan got together, so with the way some of the people in my inbox were talking about El then it could be like that too. Just. Not giving a shit if someone, a character I personally love, was really hurt and betrayed by her recently ex boyfriend and her BROTHER.

Pretending it was all fine because romantic love is the most important thing ever to them I guess. When it's not, especially in the show! Non romantic bonds are so important to these characters! It would just ruin it for me, because what I was originally saying was that Will, Mike, and El all mean so much to each other and actively try to not hurt one another (even if the do accidentally or end up hurting themselves) and that, because Will and El are siblings now, Will might think twice about dating Mike so soon after he broke up with El. It would make them look cold hearted and selfish tbh. That's why a good ending would be Will feeling comfortable enough to come out, and being accepted by his friends. (All of them not just Mike) and that final emphasis on the Party as a whole rather than individual Romo relationships.

It's actually very important to consider other people's feelings in everyday life, I think. Sure, ultimately they shouldn't dictate all your actions, but there will be consequences for some of them. They can lose friendships, or other relationships. It can also make a character look REALLY BAD.

For rnce, people go on about how Robin absolutely does not need to consider Steve's feelings in pursuing a girl. (Ignoring other issues people have with the ship that have nothing to do with Steve, lol) And sure. Okay. For every girl but the one that broke his heart, cheated on him, and who he still has feelings for that Robin herself encouraged. People are out here saying they could be endgame without completely ruining stobin's friendship like huh??? Do they understand Robin "what if we just combined" Buckley? Do they not care about the most important relationship in her life? Do they not care about her beyond how she can hype up Nancy instead of one of those icky boys?

A problem I have with rnce is that a lot of the writing saying it could be canon (which, lbr, it won't be. While I think blr may be canon just in a kind of disappointing way, I don't think there's any chance of rnce happening, especially with Vickie right there blushing and flirting with Robin) only focuses on how it would be good for Nancy, or if it's trying to make it seem good for Robin ignores their personalities and other relationships. Like Nancy isn't annoyed by Robin until Robin's speech gets them into Penherst, or that Nancy wasn't dismissive of Robin's ideas, and Robin wasn't clearly nervous and apologizing for being annoying in order to get Nancy to like her (tbh I think Nancy should have been the one pursuing a friendship with Robin instead of the other way around but alas). Tbh I could go on about how Nancy and her relationships and her needs/wants inside those are often misdirected? Misidentified? By fandom, and how that feeds into Robin being reduced to someone who supports Nancy (which, if people complain about Robin considering her bffs feelings about her dating someone, shouldn't they complain about her becoming a glorified cheerleader for Nancy...oh. it's because it's romantic. And some parts of this fandom value that most.) In rnce, which strips Robin of her personality and makes it boring. But this is already long haha (Not to mention it'd be super weird for Nancy to be dating her ex she cheated on and never actually told she cheated on him's best friend. Awkward!!)

I used to not mind rnce that much, tbh. I didn't get it and did think it was weird but the art was cute! And now it's sort of an alarm bells for people being weird about stobin.

Steve and Robin's relationship, like so many platonic relationships but more glaring with just how obsessed with each other they are, is often devalued by the fandom by virtue of the idea that a romantic partner needs/should be someone's number 1. Even though those two want to combine, and are seen taking active roles in trying to get them a romantic relationship, and are really the first person the other felt they could be completely themself around. They're the most important person to the other, regardless of their romantic relationship status.

sorry i just wanna dump about this properly cause my brain won't stop thinking about it.

i simply can't wrap my head around how queerest the D#ff#rs are. if you for whatever reason need me too, i'll break it down. originally, Robin wasn't going to be a lesbian... one of the 2 gay characters in 4 seasons of a show with hour long episodes... wasn't originally going to be a lesbian... she was originally written to be Steve's love interest, it was because of Maya Hawk and Joe Keerey that she's a lesbian now because they knew her being straight and in a relationship with Steve didn't make sense for either of their characters.

Will has literally been called homophobic slurs since episode 1, and continues to be treated with crualty throughout the show, both by bullies, and his friends, and his sexuality is only ever brought up in season 4. but no, it's not brought up. they heavily hint at his feelings for Mike becuase god forbid they just say shit out loud, and then they use Will's feelings to push forward a straight relationship that has been here since season 1 and most people are tired of, INCLUDING FINN WOLFHARD AND NOAH SCHNAPP. they want to see Will and Mike get together as much as we do, but no, the actors can only have slight canon authority over their characters sexualities and relationships once... the whole show.

Natalia Dyer has shown very vocal support of Nancy and Robin getting together, and the idea of Nancy being queer in general, saying she thinks it'd be good for Nancy to get a girlfriend, but no. let's put her in a love triangle with two guys she obviously isn't interested in, one of the guys considering activley breaking up with her, the other having feelings for her that where very out of left feild and very obviously only put there because love triangles are fun ig.

Joeseph Quinn improvised Eddie's flirting with Steve, meaning that he obviously saw something in it. sure, his opinions on the ship weren't as vocal as ones for say Byler or Ronance, however it's also easy to tell that him and Joe Keery aren't selfish assholes with no reconcision for queer people, and if they saw how much people loved them, and they had the choice to make it a thing, i think there's a good chance it would've happened. plus, for many the whole "steve is failing at romance and can't find the right woman for the life of him" seems like an obvious set up for him to possibly get a boyfriend, but nah. instead of that or just any good healthy relationship like Steve desrves, let's make him say something really weird and frankly out of character to Nancy and catch him up in this dumbass love triangle because THAT'S. WHAT. STEVE. DESERVES?????

List on fanfic ideas but the descriptions are a little vague (all of these i plan on writing at some point! multiple of them are already in the works)(All include Steddie, most also will have at least background Ronance, possibly other ships in background too)

Steve goes to get Eddie’s body but it’s not there so he Robin and Dustin go hunt for Eddie in the Upside Down while Eddie runs around going “NO IM AN EVIL VAMPIRE STAY AWAY”

Witcher AU where Steve is a very incompetent Witcher and Eddie is… some kind of creature and Steve can’t figure him out

Everyone is a secret monster

Robin and Dustin go cryptid hunting for a cryptid Eddie and Steve is just along for the ride

Eddie is a creature that lives in Lover’s Lake and throws things at couples going there for couple reasons to amuse himself (he doesn’t do it often enough to garner much attention… until Steve) and Steve is getting annoyed because he’s brought 3 dates there and gotten hit in the head by a rock each time.

Steve and Eddie work for opposing assassin agencies and get hits on each other, chaos ensues

Eddie is a harmless demon who spends every day pestering Steve

Vampire Double Trouble

High fantasy au with Demon lord Eddie who has a bounty on his head, Knight Steve is sent to collect this bounty

Dragon Shifter Eddie where Hellfire is his hoard and Dustin is the only one who can tell that their dungeon master isn’t human

Steve gets bitten by the demogorgon in season one, and hides the fact that he’s a demo-shifter until season 4 when he gets into the upside down and can’t control it.

Eddie is a god in the medieval era, and Hawkins randomly selects a sacrifice each year to send to the god. Dustin gets chosen, but Steve goes instead, and romance ensues because Eddie is fascinated by the headstrong human

Normal canon but everyone has a daemon (like in Golden Compass) and how that would affect the plot

I have more but these are the most fleshed out ones

#stranger things #eddie munson #steve harrington #stranger things season four #steddie #steve the hair harrington #steve x eddie #steve the babysitter #eddie my beloved #the fruity four #stranger things au headcanon #stranger things au #steddie fanfic #steddie au #dustin henderson #robin buckley #nancy wheeler

Romance Isn't Dead

We're back to doing new prompts. This one being skeptic Nancy and ghost hunter Robin. To whoever send this anonymous prompt, you have read my mind because I have like two ideas for way longer fics with similar ideas but I tried to write something new and I hope you like it.

For those of you that didn't know yet, prompts are back open! You can send me any and all ronance prompts here, which is just a link to my asks. I have already gotten a few to get to but I will be writing them as soon as possible.

“You have got to be kidding me.”

Robin’s bright smile almost made up for Nancy’s discomfort. The dimples in her cheeks were distracting enough.

“It’s gonna be interesting.” Robin defended herself.

“There is a blood stain on the bed.” There was and Nancy was now pointing at it. The brown stain that stretched over most of the middle of the mattress. It made her stomach turn.

“Yes, I can see that.”

“Robin, this was supposed to be a vacation.” Nancy sighed.

“It still can be. I’ll just be working in the meantime.”

“Working on what?”

“I’m gonna write a book.”

Nancy’s eyes widened. Her interest peaked. “A book? What about?” She almost sat down on the bloodstained bed before stopping herself.

“Ghosts.” Robin beamed as the word escaped her.

“Ghosts?” The disdain in her voice must have been obvious because Robin started waving her hands to stop whatever she thought Nancy would say next.

“I know, I know you don’t believe in all that but I’m gonna prove it once and for all. This is the bed Chrissy Cunningham was murdered in. Remember? You wrote an article on that story.” Robin’s hands waved at that same blood stain Nancy had pointed out.

“That was three years ago. Her boyfriend cut her open or something.”

“Yes! And this is a shitty motel so they never threw any of the shit out. This is pretty much a crime scene.”

“You should not sound this happy about that. You just booked us a romantic getaway to the scene of a murder.” Nancy snapped back.

“Okay, I know this isn’t what you signed up for but come on, Nance, this will be so exciting. We’re gonna find some ghosts and write a book on it and we’ll be rich.” Robin reached out to grab Nancy’s hands and she couldn’t help but crumble.

“Ghosts aren’t even real.” She whispered as her girlfriend pulled her closer.

—

“What are you doing?” Nancy threw up a balled piece of paper at the back of Robin’s head.

“I’m making an ouija board.” Robin’s head was bent over her own piece of paper, her back hunched.

“We could have bought one of those on the way in. That way we’d be done sooner and we could have actually gone somewhere nice for dinner.”

“I didn’t want to spend your money on this.”

Nancy pushed herself off her chair, sitting down next to her girlfriend on the floor. Robin’s tongue was poking in between her lips as she wrote the alphabet on the paper. It was adorable.

“You really think you are going to prove ghosts exist with a stupid children’s game?” She bumped her shoulder into Robin softly.

“It’s worked before.”

“You’ve done this before?” Nancy imagined Robin sitting on the floor of her messy bedroom. The lights turned off but a small candle flickering next to her. A similar scribbled ouija board pushed against the floor by a small glass that she held against it with both of her pointer and middle fingers.

“No.” Robin admitted. “I’ve heard of people who have done it.”

Nancy couldn’t keep the laugh from bubbling out. She allowed herself to fall flat against the floor.

“Nance.” Robin whined softly. “You need to be on my side.”

“I am on your side, honey. I’ll always be on your side.” Nancy grabbed for Robin’s arm. “You know that, right?”

There was a pout on Robin’s face that conveyed more than it was meant to. The sly quirk of her lips a tell tale sign that Robin was teasing her. Still, Nancy felt that familiar tug at her heartstrings that she got whenever Robin was hurt.

“Do you need my help with anything?” She offered with a sigh, sitting back up.

“If you are offering, I really don’t want to do this alone.” The smile from before returned to Robin’s face.

Nancy groaned. “I was worried you were going to say that.”

“Come on. You like researching stuff. Just see it as another one of your projects.”

“My projects are usually based on facts.” Nancy complained.

“Nance, please.” The pout returned in all its glory.

She hesitated for a second. Unsure what her next move should be. “Will it make you happy?”

Robin nodded frantically. “So very happy.”

–

Nancy found herself sitting opposite her girlfriend. She looked upon the girl’s frown as she placed the glass in the middle of the piece of paper, placing her fingers on the top. She followed Robin’s actions, mimicking her.

“All you have to do is breathe and close your eyes.”

Nancy nodded and closed her eyes.

“Okay.” Robin’s deep breath was audible throughout the silent room. “Chrissy, are you here with us?”

Nothing happened.

“Chrissy, can you hear us?”

Nothing.

“We are here to understand what happened.”

Nothing.

Nancy opened her eyes, looking at her girlfriend. The frown of Robin’s face was etched into her skin. The doubts were creeping into her demeanor and Nancy could see it.

“Chrissy?”

She couldn’t help herself. Nancy pushed the glass towards the yes that Robin had carefully written. Robin’s eyes flew open the second the glass started moving.

“Oh my God, Nance. Are you seeing this?” She exclaimed excitedly.

“Yes, I am.” Nancy feigned shock.

“I told you it was real.” Robin was beaming. “Okay, we have to focus. Chrissy, who killed you?”

Nancy stared at her own hands on the glass, analyzing whether or not it was obvious she was pushing it towards the J. And then the A, S, O, N. Spelling out the name that she had been forced to write on repeat in the plethora of articles she had written about the event.

“Oh my God, Robin. I’m not even kidding, this is scary. Can we please stop?” Nancy tried to trigger her 11 year old self who had scored the lead in the school play. It was the last time she had ever acted.

“Yeah sure. Thank you for talking to us, Chrissy. Goodbye.” Robin said and Nancy pushed the glass toward the goodbye on the bottom of the page.

–

“It was you, wasn’t it?” Robin was turned toward Nancy in her seat. She watched the way Nancy’s fingers tapped the steering wheel.

“What are you talking about?”

“The other day. The ouija board. You were moving the glass, weren’t you?”

“Why would I do that?” Nancy frowned.

“You gave yourself away by saying you were scared. Nancy Wheeler doesn’t get scared and definitely not by a moving glass or even a ghost for that matter.”

Nancy dared to take a glance at the girl sitting next to her. “I’m sorry. I just couldn’t see you that defeated. I shouldn’t have.”

“I think it’s really sweet. And I’ve been thinking, we should take an actual vacation. Somewhere nice. I’ve never seen the ocean before, if you’re up for it.”

“Are you sure this isn’t another ruse to get me to go ghost hunting with you?”

“Nah, from now on I’ll just ask you to go ghost hunting with me. I have a feeling you won’t say no.”

ranking four queer stranger things ships on how likely i think they are to become cannon!

Ships in question: ronance, byler, jargyle, steddie

from least likely to most likely

note: i’m more focusing on the thematic and meta stuff to determine whether it gonna happen or not

4. Jargyle

i mean, it’s cute, but there is very little evidence for this happening. the only reason i could see the writers doing it would be to give jonathan another love interest after a likely jancy breakup. I mean, neither of them seem the most straight to me, but not in a way that makes it seem that their relationship could be anything more than platonic. besides, if half of the ships on this list end up being canon, when you add it to the other canon ships, then adding jargyle would really make it a bit cramped in the romance department

3. Ronance

the chemistry is there! nancy and robin are looking at eachother in those posters, the same way all the other (basically) canon ships are. it might be a thing relating to getting the other person unvecna’d, but then it’s kinda weird that jopper is doing it. also, i feel like nancy being queer could also lead to some actual sibling bonding with you-know-who. good vibes here all around, plus it’s one of my favorite w/w ships ever!

however, there are some things that make me less sure it’ll happen. first of all, vickie. the only reasons i see robin and vickie not happening is A. vickie dies (lame), or B. vickie doesn’t like girls (unlikely). from the way it’s been building up it’s nigh impossible some sort of romantic confrontation (or something like that) between them won’t happen, and it would be kinda weird if it was built of that robin liked vickie only for her to end up with nancy, unless vickie dies, which would be not very cool (but i could see happening in vol 2).

second of all, i have a feeling nancy is gonna die, if not in vol2 then in season 5. but that’s an entire other post, so i won’t say much else. i’d really like this ship to happen, but i won’t be surprised if it doesn’t.

2. Steddie (bisexual steve)

steddie just makes sense for a lot of reasons! steve having an arc where he realizes he’s bisexual has been set up SO well, it works perfectly with his character, it would be a shame if it were wasted. eddie is heavily gay/queer coded, making it perfect for steve to realize things about himself. plus, it would be perfect for the kids to have someone they already look up to be queer, and make them more comfortable with themselves. im about 75% sure that steve is bisexual.

the only problem here is that eddie has some massive death flags in vol2. i really don’t want this to happen, but i can’t ignore the signs. but if he DOES survive vol2, then i believe it’s extremely likely we’ll get steddie in s5. if he doesn’t live, then it’s possible that steve could end up with jonathan, bc of the likely jancy breakup and the fact that it would be poor writing if stancy got back together. i think we’ll for sure see some queer steve stuff in s5.

1. Byler

it’s happening 100%. i have never been this confident in a queer ship (or any ship for that matter) before. i am so confident in byler happening that i am going to schedule a post on july 1st celebrating it. there is no doubt in my mind. too me it’s so obvious it’s happening that i feel like it’s redundant to explain to anybody who’s seen the show why. there are so many reasons (both external and internal) why byler is going to happen that im not even going to list them, just watch the show.

the question is not IF byler is happening, but WHEN byler is happening. In my opinion it would be better if they are established by the end of vol2, not only to haze out the homophobes early, but to give the relationship time to grow so we can see them as a fully fledged couple in s5 before it ends. there are other reasons, but those are the main ones. however i could also see the writers not having them get together yet, and only confirm that they both have feelings for eachother so they can get together early/mid s5 and we can watch them navigate a new relationship and what it means.

———

okay im done, let me know what y’all think

Edit: I fucking hate it here

Edit 2: never mind im gaining hope again

Stranger Things incorrect quote generator (feat. Sapphic Senate, Scoops Troops and a Surprise)

Pt 16

Sapphic Senate

Vickie: Where is Robin?

Nancy: I'll do you one better, who is Robin??

Chrissy: Here's a better question, why is Robin?

(I mean that's like S3 if Vickie already exited there and they (Vickie and Robin) knew each other)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: Hey Nancy, I’ve got an idea for how to solve this.

Nancy, pulling out a shotgun: Yeah?

Chrissy: Wh- No! That’s not the idea, Nancy!

Bonus:

(Form the generator) *minutes later*

Chrissy: Get in, loser, we’re committing vehicular manslaughter!

(Chrissy is like. No guns, but yes to hitting people with the car 💪)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Hello, my name is Failure, and you're watching my life crumble into pieces.

Robin: *waves their finger and sings like they're in a Disney Channel intro*

Bonus:

Nancy: ...

Nancy: I want that one

(Same 😪)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: I'm hot, I’m tall, I'm gay, and I'm on my theatre kid arc.

(We've found the most canon version of this 💪 I love her so much)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: You don't need my blessing to go kiss Robin. In fact, I was pretty sure you were already kissing Robin!

Nancy: Nope.

Chrissy: In that case, as the archbishop of Nancy's fully awakened gaydom, I give you my blessing to immediately leave and rectify that as soon as possible! Go now, my child, and kiss Robin right on the lips!!!

(I feel like Chrissy was Robin's first girlfriend and that's why Nancy asked her)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: *dangling from a rope over a pit of fire* Remember when I said I’d tell you when we’re in too deep?

Nancy: Yes?

Robin: We’re in too deep.

(They met some people in a gay bar and Robin said that she's like an expert at this, and know they somehow ended up here.. Idk)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: I don't follow the rules. I follow dogs on social media.

(She absolutely would, have you seen her with Max's dog 🥺 also are they okay? The dog? Are they alive and safe? 😟😔)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Sorry, I'm late to the party. I've been doing things.

Robin, entering in an unbuttoned shirt: I got caught up doing things too.

Chrissy: Wow, Nancy was late too! What a coincidence!

(The radio was on and George Michael gave them a short visit)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: I like wearing oversized sweaters. Not just because they're extremely comfy and cuddly, but because whenever the sleeves are really big, I get to flop them around and smack people.

(She (well all of them) steals Robin's hoodies and then slaps her with them, until Buff Robin picks her up and throws her over the shoulder and she just keeps slapping her back telling Robin to out her down while giggling. Nancy was totally not jealous [probably was before Ronance started dating])

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie: Robin! What did I tell you about lying?

Robin, looking down: ...That it only works on Chrissy.

(Either Chrissy can smell a lie miles away or she doesn't suspect a thing)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie: Robin, no.

Robin: Robin, yes.

Bonus:

Nancy: Robin, no.

Robin: Robin, no.

Chrissy: Robin, yes. >:3

Robin: Robin, yes. >:3

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: If we lose, you’re out of the will.

Chrissy: I was in the will?

(you'd probably get some of her clothes)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: Don’t preach to me about romance, Vickie. I had a three-way in a hot-air balloon.

(I was so shocketh when that showed up, like damn....do I wanna know with who?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie: Didn't you die?!

Chrissy: That was weeks ago, dude. Things change.

(Vickie saw that news that Chrissy died (Vecna'd) but then Chrissy shows up when Vickie wants to get a roommate and boom)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: Hold on! I’m having one of those things... a headache with pictures.

Nancy: What the fuck?

Vickie: They’re having an idea.

(Is is really a good idea for her to have an idea?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: Arson? Oh, you mean "crime brûlée".

(Robin was so heartbroken that she didn't come up with that joke, but she still high fived Chrissy)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Don't go to the kitchen.

Chrissy: Why?

Robin: I saw a spider.

Chrissy: Well, did you kill it?

Robin: It has 8 arms and I only have 2, it's not fair...

(I completely agree with you Robin 😖)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: I’ve never smoked marijuana. I ate a brownie once at a party. It was intense. It was kind of indescribable. I felt like I was floating. Turns out there was no pot in the brownie. It was just an insanely good brownie.

(I want brownies 😪)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Are you tall enough to play basketball though?

Nancy: Are you calling me short?

Robin: I'm calling you vertically challenged.

(I love her heights)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin, cowering in fear: What do you want from me?!

Vickie, standing in front of Robin: *bites into the whole KitKat bar like a heathen*

Robin, crying: Please...stop...

(I don't know what you did Robin, but Vickie is trying to make you regret it)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: I love the term 'partners'. Are we dating? Are we robbing a bank? Are we the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies and are members of an elite squad known as the special victims unit? Who knows.

(Nancy: Yes)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[Scoops Troops]

Erica: God, I love Robin.

Dustin: Yeah, you fucking better.

(Everyone should love Robin)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Erica: You’re mean!

Steve: You’re meaner!

Erica: Yeah, well, you’re ugly too!

Steve: You’re uglier!

Erica: You’re a dumbass!

Steve: You’re a dumberass!

Erica: You think “dumberass” is a good insult!

(Ah yes, a normal day with Erica and Steve)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: You're pathetic!

Steve: You're pathetic-er!

Erica: You're both losers.

(Well Erica would say that but it's not true, Dustin is no loser)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Sleep is the body’s best safety mechanism.

Dustin: How so?

Robin: It keeps you from screwing up for 8 hours.

(*nods head in agreement*)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: My father's name was just mine as well, so I'm technically Robin Jr.

Steve: But who comes up when you look up Robin on Google?

Dustin: That's what I thought!

Steve: One Robin to rule them all!

(Robin was named after her father in my AU now, so her father's name is Robin)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: We should normalize not loving family members.

Robin: You can just say: “I hate my dumb fuck mother” or whatever. Talk like a normal person!

(We hate Robin's mother (from my AU) in this house)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: *Locks Robin in the car.* Act like a child, get treated like a child.

Robin: What? Isn't it illegal to leave a child locked in a car?

(Steve would do that and Robin would say that)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Why aren’t you sleeping?

Erica: I’m too busy plotting your murder to sleep, Robin.

Robin:

Erica: ...The nightmares.

Robin: *wrapping their arms around Erica* Awwww, sweetie-

(🥺 that's exactly what happened in my AU)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: You're smiling. What happened?

Erica: What? Can't I smile just because I feel like it?

Robin: Steve tripped and fell down the stairs today.

(Robin is trying to not laugh tho)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: Erica...

Erica: I can tell by the tone of your voice that you are disappointed. Alas, I must further disappoint you by affirming how little I give a fuck.

(She probably was mean to Steve. Understandable tho)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: Life is like Erica. It's short.

Bonus: (from the generator)

Erica: I came out here to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now.

(How dare you, Dustin 😑, also I'm like one inch shorter then her 😪😂)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: The Ocean is a soup.

Dustin:

Dustin: Do elaborate.

Steve: What are needed for something to be a soup?

Dustin: Erm... Water, salt, some form of vegetation, and personally I prefer some meat in mine.

Steve: *Tilts head*

Dustin: The Ocean is a Soup.

Steve: The Ocean is a Soup.

(Just do a smartass and a dumbass having a conversation)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: Met a dumbass today. Awful.

Robin: You looked in a mirror?

Steve: Someday you will have to answer for your actions and god may not be so merciful.

(She shall never, she is blessed and God loves her, as does Satan, she's loved by everyone... Besides her own mother...and stupid asshole like Jason, but they are not important)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: You call yourself my soulmate, but where were you when my meme only had four likes?

Robin: Making four accounts.

Steve, tearing up: Really...?

(Platonic with a capital P Soulmates 😭❤️✨ God i love that quote)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: The only straight I am is a straight-up badass.

(Santana, my love (well it was bitch and not badass, but still) 😔❤️ I would love for her and Robin to meet)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: I give up. I am so tired.

Robin: Get the emergency supply!

Erica: *carries Dustin and places them in front of Steve*

Dustin: *smiles*

Steve: AND I AM BACK BABY, LET’S GOOO

(I love Dustin's smile 😭🥺 He's so adorable ❤️✨ it could safe me too 😪)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: You know, when I first met you I thought you were a real bitch.

Erica: What changed your mind?

Robin: Oh, I still think you're a bitch. I've just grown to like that about you.

(just bitches hanging out 💪)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Erica: Without ugly, there would be no beauty in this world.

Robin: Thank you for your sacrifice, Steve.

(Yes, thank you 💪😔)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Erica: I don't know, it's not my cup of tea.

Robin: Well then whose is it?

Erica, staring at a cup of tea: I don't know!

(One of Ronance's children didn't clean up after themselves. Smh 😪)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Erica, taping a knife onto a Roomba: Be free, my child.

Steve, entering the room with a small cut on their ankle: Who the f-

(She's been hanging out with Max too much)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: I have the sharpest memory here - name one time I forgot something!

Robin: You left me, Erica, and Dustin in a Walmart parking lot at 2am a day ago.

Steve: I did that on purpose, try again.

(Why were you there at 2 am tho? Is Walmart open at 2 am? I'm not American so idk)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Erica: Steve won’t wake up, what do I do?

Robin: Did you try kicking them?

Erica: Yes.

Robin: I’m out of ideas.

(Cold water ✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: Hey, no, you stay out of this, this is between me and Dustin!

Robin: So Dustin knows about this?

Steve, walking away: No, this is between me and me!

(He's moping about Dustin hanging out with Eddie but he doesn't want to talk to Robin about it)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: I still don’t have a New Year’s resolution.

Robin: You could lose a few.

Dustin: You could be less lazy.

Erica: Don’t be such a bitch.

Steve: Okay DAMN, SHIT.

(oop)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Erica and I are so close we even share a toothbrush.

Erica: We what?

(Robin, no.)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: Tommorrow's garbage day.

Erica: I can't believe they made a whole day dedicated to you.

(Robin tells her to stop being mean to Steve, but high fives her in secret lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: *sighs* I have no friends...

Steve:

Steve: *coughs* Bitch, what am I? A roach?!

(S3... But well Dustin actually knew he had a friend because he went to Steve himself.. But still lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[Surprise]

Eleanor: What? I'm not aggressive!

Robin: Last Tuesday, you wacked me with a pair of crocs and stole my chocolate chips?

Eleanor: Survival of the fittest, bitch.

(I love do revenge so much 😭✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleanor: What can therapy do for me that screaming in my car for 30 minutes can’t?

(literally canon)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleanor: Nancy, gather the others. We need to have another Robin-is-doing-something-stupid-again-and-we-have-to-stop-them-before-they-hurt-someone convention.

(I need a fanfiction where they are twins 😳😭)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleanor: We’re having a moment, aren’t we?

Nancy: If by 'a moment' you mean me not wanting to strangle you for the first time since we met, then I guess we are.

(Nancy would for some reason dislike Eleanor at first..idk why.. Or maybe she doesn't.. Idk tho, just had a feeling)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[The Maya-verse]

Robin: It's locked. You got a lock pick?

Maya: Yeah-

Eleanor: *kicks in the door*

(I knows she's in more stuff but I've only seen two things from where she's in)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

MEleanor: Robin, what do you have?

Robin: A KNIFE!

Eleanor: Okay, have fu-

Maya: NO!

(Love that "Okay, have fun")

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleanor: How would you like your coffee?

Robin: As dark as my soul.

Eleanor: Got it, one cup of milk coming right up!

(Just milk lol. It's true tho.)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleanor: If karma doesn't hit you, I fucking will.

(please do 🙏)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Maya: Why would you think any of this was a good idea?

Eleanor: Probably because I’m a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.

Maya:

Eleanor: I don’t know how you keep forgetting this.

(Hcjsgelfnsnd Aah, I just had to keysmash 😪 this is so true)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleanor: Assert your dominance over your friends by kicking them in the face, and then giving them a little smooch on the forehead!

(AAAAH 😭 I LOVE HER 😭😭😭 THIS IS SO CANON 😭😭😭)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleanor: The waiter at Olive Garden has been grating my cheese for 6 hours now, waiting for me to say when. Customers are screaming. Three people have died.

Eleanor: I will not yield.

(❤️)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Maya, rushing into the room: It’s terrible, just terrible! I am so upset!

Eleanor: Maya, honey, sit down! Sweetheart, tell us all about it. Robin, would you get Maya some water?

Robin: What are they gonna do with water? Has water ever made you feel better when you were upset? Have you ever heard anyone say, “Thank God, the water’s here!”?

(who made Maya upset 😑 also, Robin rambling ✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Maya: *looks at Robin*

Maya: Baby boy. Baby.

Maya: *looks at Eleanor*

Maya: Evil (affectionate).

(Yes)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Oooh, a train!

Eleanor: We’re in a train station, Robin.

(I love them so much)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleanor: Get in, loser, we’re committing vehicular manslaughter!

("it was just a love tap" 🙏❤️)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Maya: I have a bad feeling about this...

Eleanor: What do you mean?

Maya: Don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if you're going to get into trouble?

Eleanor: No?

Robin: That actually explains so much.

(I overthink a lot, so I definitely have that voice)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[Actors]

Natalia and Talia : *making loud, shouty gorilla sounds at each other*

Camila:

Maya, exasperatedly: We have a guest.

(I am loving the Natalia VS Talia memes ❤️😭)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Maya: I’m so happy two of my favorite people are getting along now.

Camila: Uh, Talia and Natalia are not getting along.

Maya: They’re not trying to kill each other.

Camila: You may have a point.

(I need a Ronance kiss 😪 it can be like in a dream someone has, so the actors actually kiss but it's not really canon in the show)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Camila drunkenly wanders around the house and Natalia is drunkenly giggling*

Maya, completely sober: *sighs* Well, looks like it's just me and you against the wold, Talia .

Talia , going to their room: Nope, just you. *shuts door*

(They drank because they didn't get to kiss Maya 😪 I feel them)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Camila, teaching Natalia to drive: Okay, you're driving and Maya and Talia walk into the road. Quick, what do you hit?

Natalia: Oh, definitely Talia . I could never hurt Maya.

Camila, massaging their temples: The brakes. You hit the brakes.

(Do revenge 2: Natalia Dyer's character gives Talia Ryder's characters a little love tap with her car)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Natalia: I'm bored.

Camila: Wanna commit first degree murder?

Natalia: Sure!

Maya, hearing them: No- Stop, don't do that! Put that knife down! Put Talia down!!

(They are really jealous of Talia....understandable 😪)

Maya: Weight loss? Drink water.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Camila: I truly believe that water can solve all your problems.

Talia : Clear skin? Drink water.

Natalia: Want to get rid of someone? Drown them.

(Natalia, no. Don't do it.)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Camila: You're smiling. What happened?

Natalia: What? Can't I smile just because I feel like it?

Maya: Talia tripped and fell down the stairs today.

(Natalia at the set of Do revenge lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Camila : What’s up with Natalia? They’ve been laying on the floor for like….an hour now?

Talia: They're just a little overwhelmed.

Camila : Why?

Talia: Maya smiled at them.

Camila:

Camila: Totally understandable

Talia: Absolutely

(I'd just pass away)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Talia : What’s it like being tall?

Natalia: Is it nice?

Camila: Can you reach comfortably for the cupboards?

Maya: We live in constant fear of the short ones who, in my experience, will climb four chairs, two boxes, a small coffee table, and six oddly placed stools to get what they want.

(Tall women >> men)

(Short women >> men )

(Any height women >> men)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Do Revenge was so amazing. All I'm gonna say to that because I'm exhausted and don't want to write anything anymore rn 😪

Hope you liked it.

a love that came and left with this train

ronance | one last stop au | 8/15 chapters

But they kept going, working through memory after memory and notebook after notebook until Nancy’s hand ached and Robin was tired of talking. In the lulls, they would fill the silence with music, letting Robin’s tapes loop over and over with the pair of headphones split between them as the city sped past. When they got sick of music, Nancy would share her own details about her life in Hawkins in the modern age, and her classes, and her favorite movies. She told Robin about The Princess Bride, and the fairy tale romance of Westley and Buttercup that she had loved since she was a child (Robin, Nancy noted, would have possibly been able to see The Princess Bride in theaters when it was originally released in 1987. She was, admittedly though, a bit preoccupied in 1987). She then told Robin of her second favorite movie, and the hijinks and chaos of 10 Things I Hate About You, letting the sun fade out behind them as she recalled the Shakespearean retelling in vivid detail.

as always, layout credits to bunivys!

read the latest chapter!

OR...

start from the beginning!

Ronance concept:

(Not a theory just a possibility fun to ponder)

From the time Steve and Nancy spent together, from what Eddie said, from Dustin pushing him, Steve was convinced he had feelings for Nancy wheeler once again. He decided to make a move assuming she felt the same and as he had just kissed her, Robin came upon them. Instantly her heart raced and she started to shake and dropped her flash light making Steve and Nancy see Robin run off. Steve stays there realizing he didn’t actually have feelings for Nancy, what he felt when he kissed her was love or romance, it was nostalgia. Nancy however tan after Robin and didn’t take too long to catch up to Robin because as Robin has said not only is she a weird runner, but dislikes it a lot. Robin realizes Nancy’s right there and with tears in her eyes she starts to ramble. “Nancy sorry I don’t know why I’m crying ahaha must just be everything happening recently that’s all sorry if I spooked you I didn’t mean to I’m alright you can go back to Steve now” her voice was shaky and cracked a few times not convincing Nancy that she was telling the truth or that she was okay, maybe it was her journalistic instinct but she needed to know. “Robin…” her voice was soft “is this because of Steve? Do you like him I thought that it was ya know platonic with a capital P I’m so sorry he just kissed me and if I knew you liked him I would have shut him down from the very beginning I didn’t think he was gonna make a move.” Nancy found herself almost in tears too but unlike Robin she wasn’t exactly sure why. “No no no it’s not Steve you are right I could never like Steve, no offense! I just meant as much as we make great best friends I’ll never be able to like him that way.” Robin said defeated. Nancy still miss understanding promises, “Robin seriously you don’t have to pretend you don’t like him just to protect my feelings I’ve gone through a lot of shit, I don’t need protection.” Nancy stumbled at her words “Nancy” Robin said more sternly this time, “I don’t have feelings for Steve, I never will be able to, because I’ll never like any guys, Nance,” Robin paused hoping she would realize. Nancy paused, she think she may understand a bit. “So if this is about Steve then why are you so upset?” Nancy said still a bit puzzled by it all. Robin broke her stare from Nancy, she couldn’t bring herself to say any more. Nancy took a step closer and her eyes moved back and forth looking at each of Robins like she was trying to read her mind some how. She gulped, before grabbing robins hand and giving it a squeeze. “Robin…he kissed me, I— I didn’t kiss him Robin, I don’t feel that way about him anymore” Robin lifted her head, a new look in her eyes but not much facial expressions change. “B-but on the boat Nance, you would stop staring at him” “oh Robin” Nancy said softly before cupping her hand on robins face to wipe s tear, then pulling her into a kiss. Robin was hesitant but she quickly melted, the kiss not lasting very long, but more then Robin ever thought she could ask for.

(So…that went longer then expected so I’ll be surprised if you actually read that all but enjoy the ronance)

Yay opinion time:

Volume 2 kind of sucked.

Like sure, it had some great parts and I guess the plot worked, but it could have been so much better.

Eddie's death made no sense. I get that they wanted him to have a resolution of him not running for once and shit, but it didn't make sense for him to die because of it.

a) Steve survived numerous demobat wounds

b) All the bats died literally seconds later

It really didn't do much for Dustin's character growth either, tbh. Like sure it encouraged him to be responsible for the others but like really, Dustin was doing that anyway.

And Eddie had so much potential. The fandom loves him. There were so many things they could have done with his character, but no, they stuck to their formula and killed the new guy.

Which brings me to Max.

In that brief moment where I believed Max was dead, it hurt. Especially with Lucas and El there, unable to do anything about it.

It was powerful. And exactly what the group would have needed to push themselves forward.

I'm not saying I wanted Max to die. She was a brilliant character and this season she had so much development. But it would have been an amazing plot point, so much better than killing Eddie. It would show us that there are actually stakes here, that the characters aren't indefinitely shielded by plot armor.

As for the other deaths... I'll be honest I barely even realized Jason died. It was so fast and it really didn't mean anything.

Brenner's death was painted as a tragedy and I fucking hate that. I suppose I could understand his apparent change of heart with the whole Nina project, but after he trapped Eleven again- I don't understand how they were trying to paint him as a sympathetic character or whatever they were doing. That man was a monster and he deserved to die.

The cast and advertising for volume 2 promised deaths and we just... didn't get any good ones.

Which brings us to the other part of the false advertising, the queerbaiting.

There were three super strong queer ships after volume 1, and they were byler, steddie, and ronance.

Now I never put too much faith into ronance, it didn't seem like it made sense since they just introduced a love interest for Robin, so that wasn't too significant.

Steddie had a lot of support. And it definitely seemed like a possibility. But assuming their plan was to kill off Eddie anyway, I'll let it slide.

Byler.

The level of teasing and hinting at Byler from the cast was unprecedented.

And what happened?

Almost nothing.

Sure, we get more hints that Will is queer, but nothing is explicitly said.

And worst of all, they used Will's unrequited love to further mileven. That made me furious.

Complete queerbait.

I don't know why I expected better.

And many people have pointed out the problems with Mike's love monologue to El, so I'm not going to bother. It was stupid.

Mileven wasn't terrible at all, it had genuine build up and wasn't just romance for the sake of romance. But claiming that Mike fell in love with her the day they met is just- stupid. And making El need that speech to motivate her instead of just finding the strength within herself was a bit meh.

I'll probably make another post with the things that they did right, but for now I'm done ranting.

okay so I'm totally as upset as everyone else but you know what? i will be the dumbass that stays optimistic and looks on the bright side of things (speaking about Robin though. rip the rest of the gay ships sorry guys ✌️😔)

obviously things should've been done better. everyone else has already pointed out how this is all extremely disappointing. but listen. Robin lived. the canon lesbian character is alive and well and possibly getting a romance?? that's actually pretty nice!

no, this wasn't the best scenario. yes, ronance made more sense, it would've been better in every way. yes, these are crumbs. but, for Robin, this is far from the worst case scenario. let's try to remember that??

#she's a secondary character. she's a lesbian. we knew ronance was a long long shot #i'm not saying this all wasn't handled badly or that we should be super happy and settle for crumbs all the time #but like. she's not doing so bad okay? let's focus on that!#i mean. look. villanelle died less than 3 months ago. remember that? there ARE worse things than a bland plot!!#stranger things #ronance #stranger things spoilers #st #robin buckley #st4 #robin x nancy #nancy wheeler #stranger things 4
