Nancy is fascinating to me because here's this teenage girl who's very much a teenage girl. She's not even old enough to drive in season one, and she worried about boys. But then, whenever people are in danger, it's as if a switch is flipped. A very different switch to when she alone is in danger, mind you.
When there's someone else to worry about, she starts operating in a Fight mindset that's different from anyone else. She's impulsive to an extreme. She loses all sense of self-preservation. Any sense of hesitation and trauma just gets completely repressed till the dangers over.
Just, I don't know how to express how Insane I am over her and the fact that her desire to protect was so strong that she Immediately pointed a gun at the person she was trying to protect; at 15. She lost any care for how this might look or anything else because her mind had become too deadset on getting Steve as far away from the danger as soon as humanly possible. It was impulsive and dumb... and an incredibly genius move that could have worked really well, except she forgot to factor in the way other people freeze in the face of danger.
That's just not even an option in her mind. She sees an unknown glowy portal while trying to save her best friend? She dives in. A little boy is possessed and hurting the people he loves most? She stabs him with a hot fire poker. She sees a car charging her brother and friends down? She stands in between them and shoots. A friend gets pulled underwater? She jumps in right after. Max and her family are being threatened? She decides to Murder a monster as fast as possible with her on the very front line.
It doesn't always work. She's a teenage girl; she's not exactly a tactical warfare expert. Yet, this apparent fearlessness is noticed by everyone around her and they all follow her lead and turn to her for direction.
Meanwhile, she knows that she tends to act like that when she's drowning the most.
Then, when the danger is over, she cries and she shuts down and she remembers she's just a little girl again and she doesn't know how to be that anymore. She's stuck in a fight and protect and just survive mode that she has no idea how to escape.

Pre season two AU where El didn’t disappear at the end of season one. Everyone knows she’s staying with Hopper except the government because stick it to the man
Steve has been acting off for a few weeks and finally admits to Nancy that he hasn’t heard from either of his parents in a really long time. They are gone a lot, but they haven’t even answered his calls, and that’s unusual.
Finally she convinces him to ask El for help. She found Will in another dimension, surely she can let him know that they’re okay at the very least so Steve agrees. He brings one of his old photos, searching for one that has both his mom and dad. He cant seem to find any, and he can’t ever remember really taking one together.
They get to the cabin and everyone is there. All the kids want to see El use her powers again, and Hopper and Joyce are concerned about the strain it puts on her. They all watch as Steve hands the photo over with slight nerves. El looks down at it and stops short, staring silently down at it as her entire body starts to shake.
“This is your Papa?” She asks teeming with rage, and Steve furrows his brow. He goes to open his mouth, but suddenly he is no longer in control of his body. El has her arm stretched out, and she’s dragging Steve over to her. She holds him in an iron grip, ignoring everyone’s shouting as she grabs the left sleeve of his sweater and yanks it up. There’s an ugly scar on his wrist, but not what she’s looking for.
El demands to know what it is. How did he get this mark. Steve stammers some story out about burning himself on the stove when he was Seven, clearly completely freaked out. He manages to pull himself out of her hold and bolts without another word, leaving the door open in his haste to get away. Hopper is the first to ask what the hell is going on, and El simply hands him the picture in response, going into her room and shutting the door.
Hopper looks down and drops the picture like it’s on fire. They all stare at the Polaroid with horror in their eyes as it slowly floats down to the floor.
Because there, standing on either side of a much younger Steve with a nearly buzzed head, is Connie Frazier and Martin Brenner

I love how through out the seasons we get to learn how tightly wound Stevie is.
In season one, when Carol thinks she has a frostbite on her foot and puts her whole leg on the cafeteria table Steve goes, EW GROSS PUT THAT OFF WE'RE EATING HERE
In season two he is GROSSED the FUCK out when Dustin makes him put the demodog carcass into the Byers' fridge. "Steve, this isn't a normal body. It could be a scientific discovery."
Bless him.

oh, steve harrington. we all can agree that he's had an amazing character arc, but which season truly takes the cake?
*since "best" is subjective, it can mean whatever you want: the version you love the most, the version that's most well-written, the version that's most compelling, the version that shows the character making the most "right" choices, the version that displays the greatest performance from the actor – whatever you think defines the "best"!
vote for half of hawkins, indiana's population here: jonathan byers, nancy wheeler, mike wheeler, will byers, dustin henderson, lucas sinclair, max mayfield, and el hopper!
see you in 12 hours for our favorite disaster lesbian, robin buckley!
and as always, lmk why you picked your season in the tags <3

i saw someone say "when has yellow ever been associated with el?" (or something to that effect) on here the other day and tbf yellow has been associated with el, especially in seasons 1 & 3!!

most noticeably the first time el gets to *choose* what colours she wears she chooses a lot of yellow!! that girl loves yellow! mike also says that she really likes yellow in 4x02, so it's safe to say it's one of her favourite colours!

A Max and Will parallel that has been on my mind lately…
In the last episode of s1, Will’s heart stopped and he was resuscitated by Hopper and Joyce.
In the last episode of s4, Max’s heart stopped and she was resuscitated by El.

Something about how Jonathan "took" Steve's girlfriend (and contributed to the fall of his role as King Steve)
But gave him the nail bat (and contributed to the adoption of his new role as badass babysitter)
This isn't like well explained or anything and I left out a lot of context and nuance but yeah, that just kinda stood out to me as I'm rewatching seasons 1 & 2
