so it’s okay for s1 steve to allow his “friends” to slut shame and disrespect nancy PUBLICLY and go along with it, disrespect will to jonathan’s face and THEN disrespect jonathan
but it’s not okay for lucas to not trust some random girl that doesn’t talk, had a shaved head, tried to change her clothes in front of him and his friends, lives in his friends basement, and allowed them to walk around all day believing that they were gonna find will but she was controlling their campuses the whole time??
like y’all have hated lucas since season one for being REASONABLEY upset but y’all gon act like steve has done no wrong?? good fuckin bye 😒
I’ll never forgive the fandom for turning on Lucas the SECOND they saw that two second clip of him on the basketball team. This boys has saved everyone time and time again and the only “bad” thing he did was when he was skeptical of el in season one (which was quite justifiable) anyways I’m glad he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves because he’s one of my favourite characters. Let me not get into how everyone casually ignores or tries to deny Billy’s racism to him
I feel like (in my opinion) a lot of people misinterpret why Lucas was sad after seeing his friends celebrate winning the DnD campaign.
I don't think he was sad because his friends ditched his game to play DnD, because he already knew they weren't at the game. He saw that there was an empty spot for them.
And, yes, that could've him being hurt by it, but the way he reacts was more a sense of realisation.
I think this is the moment he realises that he isn't happy being popular. That night he finally got what he wanted. He wanted to have his moment, to be part of the team, to feel like a winner. He finally reached "popularity" and yet he isn't happy. Or – he isn't as happy as he would've been winning the campaign with his friends.
Like we see him try to put on a smile when Patrick comes to get him for the party, but it doesn't stick. He isn't happy. This isn't what he wants.
And this is literally confirmed in his monologue to Jason. It's the moment Lucas accepts that he's okay with being a "freak." He's okay with who he is and he doesn't have to change.
This show is an anthem for being different. For accepting who you are. And that's what Lucas's story is.
It’s very important to me that Steve and Lucas go on jogs in the morning with a cassette player each and an hour in they pause to stretch and swap tapes before making their way to their destination, the trailer park, where they’ll split off from each other and go see their partners 🥰
