#i love when i get asks like this btw theyre also so correct and real
Note
I wanted to echo that ask about the way Robin and Nancy have different strengths and the example in the meeting with the dr at Pennhurst. I'm obsessed with that scene because of the ronance/nancy character analysis. You mention in a few rants about how Nancy has this whole thing of chafing and struggling against expectations of others for her, particularly in the way it's quite gendered (like the whole thing of the sexism she goes through at work and how she relates to Karen about it). You notice that with that said, she will also exploit that to get what she needs too, so there are a number of times when she leans into femininity and puts on an act. Her whole plan to get into Pennhurst is that but there are other places this comes up too. Robin I don't think does this nearly as much, although we don't see as much of her in different situations, but it seems like she's much more likely to just be herself. The way Robin would approach getting into Pennhurst would be completely different to Nancy's but it's Nancy's plan and she's following her lead and getting dressed up to play the part, Nancy even says "let me do the talking." The plan goes well for awhile but then Hatch stars shutting them down. Robin starts getting pissed off at the way he's talking down to Nancy but Nancy is still trying to play this act. This is the bit where their difference complement each other so well because Robin decides to ignore Nancy's plan and take her own approach which is confrontational and direct. You even see Nancy get kind of hit by Robin's insistence on being herself, meeting sexism head on, and not playing into others' expectations. The whole scene becomes like a microcosm of the ways they are different but also the ways they can help each other, make one another stronger. It makes them effective partners both in a relationship sense but also in problem solving and doing the kind of work the season required of them. I don't really know how to finish off this ask but yeh I think there's a point in all of that lol.
okay so basically yes to all of this!
i love that you pointed out how nancy uses social expectations to her advantage sometimes! because of course she does! as we all know, nancy really ISNT that good of a liar, she's not smooth and often slips, but she gets away with it a LOT, and that's because she often uses what is expected of her as an advantage. often posing as a caring friend, a worried granddaughter, an aspiring scholar, a voice for the people, things that people would expect her to be/WANT to believe her to be. this is effective! until it isn't
robin is like, the perfect solution to nancy's flaws, because she's shown in multiple situations that she's much better at spinning the truth rather than outright lying. was peety mchugh real? who knows! but you can tell robin had FELT that way before, had an experience like that, and used it to their advantage, covering for where nancy's default to relying on social expectations to boost her lying fell flat (taking no for an answer because shes a woman or whatever)
robin also unknowingly helps nancy with an unhealed wound (her experiences in s3 w the newspaper) by standing up for her in regards to her being silenced. (which didn't happen in s3).
i think what makes them work so well together is that robin is not submissive to what nancy thinks is best in the way jonathan is, and not because she doubts her abilities, but because she reacts accordingly to best uplift nancy's original ideas and leads them to success, which is what makes them such a good team.
they wouldn't have gotten in without nancy's ingenuity and they wouldn't have gotten through without robin's quick thinking and adaptability
also bonus: nancy is more physically confrontational and impulsive while robin is more emotionally confrontational and impulsive and tbh i love that for them.

please stop judging masons based on suit cut, especially if you’re not a mason. Some of us can’t afford to change out our suits every year, some of us like to express ourselves, and also it's genuinely rude!

boyfriends but awesome (and instead of a webtoon its an independent webcomic)
design notes and 3ds flipnote concept art below the cut
general notes abt their designs and what the comic would be like in my head:
>they dont have names in this version cause i think that was one of the good things they did originally. i imagine they refer to eachother as "that one" "the other guy" etc like the dhmis guys when talking about eachother.
>they are not in a defined romantic relationship with eachother because i think thats more interesting, the polyamory aspect would be kept (im not polyamorous btw so im not gonna try to write an established polycule) but its more vague in that they all kind of have a thing for eachother but also hate eachother and want to rip eachothers guts out. and theyre all roommates and bffs. if you asked them what they were the answer you would get would be "friends who are boys". they are the height of male friendship, hate, love, etc.
>instead of focusing on sexualizing them in strange ways and doing boring moe shit it would lean into the comedy aspect BUT NO MEMES OR LATE 2010S SLANG !! this was something i could not fucking stand when reading the original (if you couldnt tell by now i did used to read boyfriends. it was a regrettable time and in redesigning and overhauling them i hope to make something good out of this wasted period of my life) like even when it was current boyfriends always made memes feel.. out of place. like as soon as they said it it wasnt cool anymore. it was the unfunniest shit ever
>i wanted the characters to look less WHITE and also more distinct from eachother and also less young cause in the original its like the same twink 3 times in different haircolors and their Chad. said chad is the best character only by way of not being annoying. so yeah i'll be more specific later but none of them are white and i gave them all different eye and nose shapes and distinct physical traits and bodies etc.
>mostly i just did this cause the "nerd" and "goth" ones piss me off so bad like thats not real. thats not a nerd thats just a nondescript waify femboy with glasses. thats not a goth, thats a tiktok eboy. and i felt bad for jock being trapped in this comic. and the prep one i feel nothing towards hes the most accurate to gay preps irl because they really are that annoying. but i tried to make him a little interesting atleast. anyways
Tumblr media
nerd - black, brony, always aggressively corrects the others when they state an incorrect fact, really into playstation eyetoy and obscure playstation games. insanely autistic. usually pissed off if hes not indulging himself in something he likes (yaoi, games, ponies, figures, etc). i just wanted to overhaul him completely to make him almost nothing like refrainbow's nerd because nerd type characters are always the ones i tend to see myself in and are my favorites but reading the webtoon that guy just pissed me off fr.
Tumblr media
jock - 2nd gen chinese american, one of the things i liked in the original actually was when they sexualized the jock (probably cause hes the only one who doesnt look 14 in that comic) and his big tits. hes a very genuinely kind guy, not the brightest, has a voracious appetite, he also still bakes cause thats cute i think.
Tumblr media
prep - he looks different here because i was originally going to make him white but i decided to make him a light/medium skintone black guy (he just wears a blonde wig and contacts). when companies make their pride month merchandise and advertisements this is the exact person they imagine in their head who is going to buy these products. hes a million percent one of those swifties who thinks taylor swift is secretly a lesbian. trust fund kid btw obviously. his only redeeming quality is that hes good at makeup. jokes in the comic are usually made at his expense.
Tumblr media
goth - 1st gen latino american, specifically peruvian because i am a self serving motherfucker. hes a really big numetal fan and listens to like 2000s evil wolf amv music in addition to legitimate gothic. his face changed a little too between this and the final design. his outfit completely changed but its only because i realized everyone else was dressed for relatively warm weather so it wouldnt make sense for him to be wearing multiple layers of black. if i do cold weather outfits for them id def reuse this look for him. hes still trans but i think all of them are in my version. also they dont use labels for their sexual/rom orientation. except prep hes homosexual gay.
congratulations for reaching the end of this incomprehensible bullshit 👍 hope someone enjoys this but idrc if its just for me either
