new insane ronance analysis for your viewing

so i was watching the season 4 v2 finale, as one does, when i recognized some background music that appeared in a possible significant way. after playing the scene, the song, and looking it up, i was right in guessing that the track was from the score of season 3, and entitled “Tammy”. It appears in these 3 episodes: (look under the cut for theory this is kinda long)

first of all, tammy and nancy are already sort of connected, and if you don’t believe me, read this analysis that put it better than i could

in the first, its in the bathroom during Robin’s coming out scene, specifically the part where she admits she had a crush on Tammy. Okay, cool. ALSO OF NOTE: Nancy is mentioned twice in this scene. Once, before the song plays, during the track “You’re a Fighter”, which specifically appeared in a scene about Nancy’s place in the world (her mom gives her a pep talk about the horrible old dudes at the paper). Steve mentions he was in love with her once. The next time, while Tammy is playing, Robin says she isn’t like Nancy Wheeler. (These statements deserve their own analysis, as the “she’s such a priss” statement was later disproven and robin’s view on nancy changed, perhaps giving way to possible subtext about robin and nancy being similar in the sense of queerness, which was the theme highlighted in robin’s coming out scene as a given) Okay, so Nancy, in a scene about coming out, has a noticeable impact despite not being there physically.

In the next scene, in the next episode: Joyce talks to Will and says he’l be fine with Johnathan. Keep the fact that he is mentioned in mind. Also while the song is still playing, Hopper tries to get El to be careful. She responds by saying “I’m a fighter.” So, in both scenes so far, the idea of a fighter is mentioned. This brings about the idea of identity and Nancy Wheeler herself, as both are tied to the song’s original appearance.

for the final scene it appears in: nancy and johnathan catch up, still dance around certain topics, etc etc. first off i would like to point ou the interesting decision that is to have them hammer things in, while johnathan lies about his college status, perhaps alluding to a “nail in the coffin” when it comes to their relationship. also to point out: steve is mentioned here was well, described as having grown up. nancy also mentions being sort of glad johnathan wasnt there over spring break, before saying it was so mike had someone to watch out for him, but you can connect the dots that that is only a half truth given that the later statement was hastily tacked on. In this scene, nancy, as opposed to being subtextually connected to scenes, is actually in it.

Now, together, what does all of this mean? First, we must acknowledge that the song ultimately refers to unrequited love given it’s placement in the scene it appeared in. So, j//ancy or st//ancy endgame then, right?? Or at least no ronance, right??? Wrong. You see, in the original Steve + Robin + Tammy + Nancy scenario, Robin had a crush on Tammy, but Tammy didn’t like her because she liked Steve, and he didn’t like her because he was with Nancy. So, four people, the outcome is two people in a relationship and two people burned.

What does this look like now? Currently, we would have Nancy + Johnathan + Steve + Robin. How can I prove that Robin is the one who will end up with Nancy according to this theory? Spread over three scenes, Steve and Jonathan both appear in one significantly and are mentioned in another. All scenes include both Nancy and Robin in subtextually ways, such as mentions, the whole “fighter” thing, and the fact that Tammy is ultimately a Robin song, just as You’re a Fighter is a Nancy song. This matches as both also are scenes surrounding one’s place in the world, especially in the face of adversity (sexism and homophobia discussed respectively for Nancy and Robin). It starts with a full Robin appearance, and ends with a Nancy one. Not only are they omnipresent, they also come full circle- a well rounded relationship.

Comparatively, Nancy and Robin would be Nancy and Steve, while Steve and Johnathan would take the spot of the originally rebuffed: Tammy and Robin.

Now, if we are comparing Nancy and Robin to Nancy and Steve, doesn’t this mean that even if they do get together, they will break up? No, this analysis/theory only deals in the whole getting together thing, while Nancy and Robin have proven in separate threads of both text and subtext that they generally work better as a duo and therefore a couple, and don’t fall to the same inevitable pitfalls as Steve and Nancy (Nancy and Robin have similar dreams, are willing to alter their first impressions on eachother, listen, etc etc wheras Steve and Nancy will always be haunted relationship wise by Barb and directly conflicting plans for the future, as in screw suburbua, i want independence vs six nuggets suburbia). TL;DR, this does provide evidence for Nancy and Robin getting together, but not staying together; however that does not negate the existence of evidence that proves that they could indeed be a healthy couple that does stay together.

To conclude: musical cues, known to be important subtext in Stranger Things historically, points to signs of Ronance endgame. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

i have been unmedicated for the entirety of spring break and thus have had little interest in writing this down, but i have been thinking about this for the entire week (as well as a dpdc clone danny au that resulted in it becoming its entirely separate batman au that includes a teenage vigilante bruce wayne, an ocarina, and me entirely incapable of making a batman au without making bruce dirt poor but we're not talking about that) and so i've finally went 'fuck it' and forcibly grabbed my laptop. I will get this done in one sitting even if it kills me.

BUT. This is about neither clone^2 danny nor about who i am calling Ocarina Batman. This is about my Danyal Al Ghul Au and more SPECIFICALLY it's me thinking about his relationship with Sam and Tucker specifically.

Tucker and Sam? Adore this asshole (affectionate) with every fiber of their being. And it is very much a reciprocated feeling, but Danny's thoughts will not be delved into much other than he would kill for them.

Tucker? The only person currently capable of getting a deep, loud, belly laugh out of Danny. Sam can get him to smile and to laugh, but it's the kind that's a chuckle-under-the-breath. The quiet, looks-down-while-huffing laughter. Snorts once with laughter and then grins stupidly.

But Tucker? Tucker can crack a slew of stupid jokes and Danny will be incapacitated for the next five minutes because he's laughing so hard that he can't breath. He lands one well-timed pun or quip and Danny will be close to tears. His laughter is their favorite sound in the whole world.

Sam is lowkey jealous of this ability, and she's gotten a belly laugh out of Danny a few times. But alas, it is Tucker who wields this power and has gotten it the most times out of the two of them.

-

They're also both physically affectionate with Danny as much as possible. It started roughly around when they were 12-ish, a year since they befriended Danny, and they noticed that he sought after touch but never seemed to initiate (and was in some ways repulsed by it). They started slowly being more touchy with him. Hooking a finger around his to lead him somewhere, tapping his wrist, looping arms. Little touches, grabs, etc, to get him used to it, and once he started doing it back they started increasing it.

It's gotten to a point where he will now just. Lay on them. Like a lizard sunbathing on a rock. Leaning on their backs when they're sitting in class before the bell rings, his chin on their heads. He'll talk about anything with his arms looped around their shoulders.

If they're sitting on a couch at either of their houses, he'll lay his legs on theirs. Him and Tucker will press their feet against the other's and try and push against them (newsflash: Danny always wins, Tucker claims its the ghost strength but Danny's been winning since before his accident)

-

Naturally, both Sam and Tucker know where Danny keeps his weapons on his person, and are allowed to grab them off of him if they need it. His only requirement is that they don't lose his weapons if they take it and forget to return it immediately.

They both understand how big of a thing this is from Danny, and so they do their best to treat his weapons with a lot of respect and care because they know its his way of saying he trusts them.

-

Sam and Tucker are so fond of Danny it's insane. Like fr. That's their goddamn best friend, and they are so protective of him. Emotionally, physically, you name it. They will tear the head off a grown man if they need to, Danny's had scars since he arrived in Amity Park and Sam and Tucker both are going to find the person who put them there and make them pay for it.

One time, Tucker overheard a bunch of upperclass girls speaking nastily about Danny and about the rumors surrounding him, calling him names like 'freak', 'monster', etc. Danny was with him and heard it, and seemingly appeared unbothered by it, even telling Tucker that he was used to such rumors.

Tucker was so furious that hacked into the school system later that night and tanked those girls grades. They were kicked out of their clubs and had to go to mandatory tutoring for the rest of the year. He made sure to leave some way of letting them know it was him who did it.

And Sam doesn't like using her money for things, doesn't like abusing that wealth. So instead, whenever her parents talk bad about Danny, she causes a media incident that has her parents scrambling to deal with. She does something wild, outrageous by her parents' standards.

She heard some boys on the basketball team making fun of Danny once, similar to those girls had. She kicks up a fuss about something eco-unfriendly at school and forcibly holds a protest on the same day of the big home basketball game, forcing them to cancel the event and reschedule to a visiting school.

She anonymously donates money so that there's new uniforms for the team but oops! Looks like she "forgot" to donate enough money for them to get uniforms for all the team members, and strangely enough those boys in particular didn't get them! Looks like they'll have to wait until more money gets donated for the basketball team to get their new, nice uniforms. The old ones look so ratty in comparison, right?

And since the football team gets most of the sport money, that might just take awhile. And if (and when) they kick up a fuss? oops! Off the basketball team you go, :) such unsportsman-like behavior is unfit for the team.

(The only good thing about how corrupt the school system is is that she can use it to her advantage too.)

The both of them know that Danny suspects them for the sudden misfortune falling on these people, but he doesn't call them out on it. He's kinder than he used to be, but not kind enough to vouch for people who speak badly of him. Sometimes, he might just congratulate them on not getting caught.

Because Danny is their wonderful, hurt friend with a "slightly" Blue and Orange Moral code, and enough scars that people have been calling him a criminal (and worse) since he arrived in Amity Park when he was ten. And they'll be damned if he gets hurt anymore.

Me, the DM: Alright guys, what're your characters for the new campaign? Remember, we're starting at level one.

Bill: Alright cool yeah no problemo, so I'm like a legendary folk hero guy, right? EVERYBODY knows me. I'm super famous. I'm like the hero of the Sword Coast, I've killed minotaurs, stopped cults, fought devils in the Hells, saved the world countless times, all that jazz. Also my dad's a duke, I'm rich, and there's this really hot demon lady who's my patron.

Me: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh-

Carla: Oh! I'll go! So I'm a badass tiefling lady, I've been fighting in the Blood War for a decade, I've killed loads of demons - like SO MANY demons - and also my heart is an infernal engine. So I'm constantly on fire basically and anyone who touches me gets burned to ashes instantly. Like just boom dead. TOASTED.

Me: UUUUUUUUUUGH-

Gabe: Lame. Alright, so check this out. Lemme lay this on ya, right? So you know Mystra, the Goddess of Magic?

Me, visibly terrified: .............uh huh?

Gabe: Heheheheh. Yeah. Uh huh. That's right.

Me: .....What-

Gabe: Fucked her.

Me: UM.

Gabe: Also I'm a nuclear bomb

#and then liz is just like “yeah I'm a fighter and I have a longsword”#for real tho #it's funny that half the party is just like “yeah here's a completely reasonable level 1 character with some slight backstory to work with”#and then the other half's like “i have ten levels worth of backstory and the feats of a hero of legend”#like who in their right mind would look at gale's backstory and go “yeah seems reasonable”#“you're a doomsday device and you've fucked a goddess? sure yeah that works for level 1”#amazing #hilarious #and then lae'zel is literally just Some Gith #astarion's just had a shitty life for 200 years #and shadowheart is just a standard follower of shar #pretty much anyway #baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate iii #bg3 memes #lae'zel #karlach #gale #gale dekarios #karlach bg3

I'm finally playing the original Fossil Fighters and in the first 10 minutes of the game an npc crashes into your character and knocks you over. However, this game was apparently made on a budget of about $15, and 14 of that went into the dinosaurs, so there's no animation for your character falling over. Instead, they just took the model, spun it around once, and then had it tilt 90 degrees to the side. And when your character gets up, the model just tilts back up. Not once did it change from the default standing pose. This is the greatest game ever made.

#original #fossil fighters #in more traditional praise the movement feels really good!#you just touch on the touch screen and your character zooms around and the turning is instant!#lots of games feel the need to make turning take time for some reason but not here! you wanna go left? boom you're already doing it #and the acceleration is so quick too!#i'm so fast!

I can't find art of my ship anywhere so I GUESS that means I have to make it myself, here are some doodles.

#ugh i can't believe i have to make my own shipping fanart #tfw you're complaining to your sister that you can't find any content of them but then you remember you have the power #man i do not know how to draw kissing or hugging or any of that romantic stuff #mostly i just know how to put paragraphs of dialogue in between two talking heads #but this seems to be something of a rarepair even though they are obsessed with each other so i suppose i gotta try #karlach #lae'zel #shipping #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #karlzel #i think that's the ship name but i have found so little of them that i'm genuinely not sure #laelach #(just in case)#but come on they're perfect! they're sunshine/raincloud! dog energy/cat energy! tall/small! hot and cold! canonically into each other!#character who represses sadness and character who doesn't understand happiness! pretty girls who can both bench press each other!#considering what their banter looks like i don't get how this isn't a more popular pairing. who else does karlach wistfully sigh over?#my sister tells me that lae'zel is not well-liked by the wider fandom and that that may be why (so sorry if other people have bad taste)#or maybe people don't often put the barbarian and the fighter together in the same party at the same time #anyway now that you're 100% convinced feel free to draw them making out so that i don't have to k thx <3

Welp. Just had the most horrifying realization.

What determines whether people want to punch Nazis or not isn’t the fact that they're Nazis.

People only want to punch Nazis when they disagree with them.

#wall of words #Free gaza from hamas #antisemitism #It's absolutely possible to criticize Israel without being antisemitic and I would love to see non-Jews try that instead of just yelling it #Spoiler alert: Hamas is part of an org founded and partly funded by Nazis #Its founding documents explicitly use Nazi propaganda #Its public statements have consistently been wildly antisemitic #And at least one of its fighters called home during the massacre to boast that he'd killed 10 Jews with his own hands #This is not even a tiny bit unclear #The only way you can think Hamas is the Palestinian Resistance is if you see and believe its own propaganda saying so #And are not listening either to Jews or to Palestinians in Gaza #Who have been brutally oppressed by Hamas for 18 years #Stop yapping about Zionism you are actively harming Palestinians with your obsessive Jew hatred #They're in Gaza protesting Hamas and demanding it surrender and release the hostages so they can finally have peace #And you're over here like “GIVE ISRAEL TO HAMAS”#Get a grip goyim you are high on the kool-aid

Lelouch in R1 Audio Drama (E08): refuses to get onto Rivalz's bike because he "never liked the idea of hanging onto some guy's back"

Also Lelouch, when "some guy" is Suzaku:

(and a bit of rambling in the tags😅)

#Also their flight to Pandragon would've taken at least like 6 hours #Given the distance between Kaminejima and Pendragon #and it's 6 hours if Lancelot is faster than a fighter jet #because the distance there is about 9k km and the cruise speed of a fj is like 800 to 1400 km/h #unless Lancelot can go supersonic and cross that distance in like 2-3 hours #Still #good luck spending all those hours in Lancelot's cockpit with it being as small as it is when you're both conscious and angry #suzalulu #code geass #suzaku kururugi #lelouch vi britannia #lelouch lamperouge #don't ask me why on earth i even went through the trouble of figuring that out #i wish i knew the answer myself #also yall still call spinzaku unrealistic when the real mystery is Lelouch being able to jump as high/far as he did #with Suzaku basically in his arms

that scene in s10 where york calls wash the worst fighter and gets instant karma for it via getting punched by the sleeveless innie is easily 100 times funnier by imagining that wash (as the petty grudge holder he is) knew the sleeveless innie was there, but he chose to not say anything about it to york

#it also makes wash's “you were saying?” in response 100 times more smug which makes the scene even funnier #wash mentally asking himself “should i say something?” while asking york or loud if he really thinks he's the 2nd worst fighter #and then going “naahhh.” after york says “no i was being nice you're easily the worst.” is just. muwah #rvb #red vs blue #agent washington #agent york #mine #wash: one punch won't kill him so I'm going to let this happen #it makes the scene even more funny if you picture wash focusing so hard on exacting petty revenge on york that he momentarily forgets that #the sleeveless innie isn't on his side #like he didn't forget forget but he let his petty-ness and personal satisfaction take control for a hot sec #and what does wash get for it? getting chased by a car lmao

It is heinously racist to call the Asian man trying to liberate his country from a fucking dictator who tortured him, his mother, and thousands of other civilians a "pervert terrorist" because he’s dating one half of a fanon ship you. I don't care if you ship damijon, re-examine why you're calling Jay a pervert(Asian men are always put into such boxes), a terrorist(for doing nothing but trying to save his country), and why 90% of your creators paint Talia to be entirely evil and make Damian hate her while embracing Bruce and being drawn white as a fucking sheet.

Just say you half-read like 10 issues of super sons and leave if you don't like Jay instead of saying shit on par with the most ignorant racists on the planet.

Jon isn't some hapless idiot seduced by Jay. He WANTS Jay, equally, and pursued him and saw that Jay had a dark past & said "yeah I fucking love him still" and took down the entire goddamn justice league for him. Jon gave him a ring & ditched his hero duties to go hang with Jay. Jon Kent loves Jay in Canon and if you cannot accept that really simple fact & throw tantrums being racist to creators & to jonjay fans instead of staying in your corner of the fandom, fuck you.

#jon kent #damijon #I'm tired #ship wars is one thing #blatant disgusting racism is another #it is 2024 & you're calling a freedom fighter a terrorist #jay nakamura
