I don't know if it's because it's been too long since I last watched Stranger Things, but I genuinely don't remember a happy Nancy scene post Barb...
This is such an interesting thing to think about because it's not as if Nancy looks miserable in most scenes of the show. In fact, she often looks determined and occasionally excited even. She has smiled before, but excitement about progress in a case, something she's passionate about because of Barb, isn't necessarily happiness. So this is something you have to look beyond face value for.
Nancy suffers quite plainly with survivors guilt and with a lot of trauma. She isn't healed from what happened in Season One, and I don't think she even let herself really start until after season three. Not with so much unresolved. She also hasn't had the help she really needs either. However, Nancy has experienced happiness since Barb's death. There are moments she forgets. It’s only healthy that she's not so obessively mired in her misery that she can't have moments to breathe.
It's been a while since I've watched the show, too, so I can't say if there's a Jancy scene where she's just happy. Their get-together scene was very in the middle of Barb trauma, the wake up together scene is very stressed and rushed. Jonathan has been good to her, but all their scenes are a very mixed bag of emotions with happiness not really being the predominant one.
There are three small scenes from season four that come to mind. The first is Lucas's game. Nancy is quite genuinely proud and happy for Lucas in that moment of success. It's such a small shot, but it's one of a few scenes that show us that Nancy cares a whole lot more about Mike’s friends than she ever says.
The second is the scene with the dog, right before the plot plummets Nancy right back into her guilt complex. She's starting to live, and she lets herself be, for just a second, when she steps away from a murder investigation to just play with a dog. This is the first real evidence that her passion for her work is not just about Barb anymore.
The last scene is the officially friends scene with Robin. It's simply a moment of establishing connection, and both girls are just so warm in that moment. It's another sign of Nancy starting to actually heal. She's happy to have a new girl friend, not scared or guilty like she would have been before.

paul's last ig stories 😭😭😭 i just know that he knows something abt lewis and mercedes and also my roman empire is what the fuck happened between him and merc i NEED to know why they went separate ways this year after being together since 2019
PLEASE
the way that he posted this ^^ story hours after his other stories? makes me feel like it wasn't related?? 🤨 paul baby let us in on your secrets....
but also yes same, i would love to hear him talk about it :((( i mean when the rumors about kimi to f2 started, ppl were already saying "merc doesnt like to have two drivers in the same category", which like i get but imo its kinda a weird thing since other academies dont seem to have the same principles 🤷♀️ but maybe that's just it and they decided they like kimi more (not surprising since kimi is basically toto's adoptive son). i guess that in the end, it's all just about how many seats they think they have to fill and how many drivers they need to do it. paul just didn't fit into their plan i guess. since lewis is leaving next year, someone's gonna be swapped in there and make another seat available. sadly not three seats (for fred, kimi and paul) 🙃 and it doesnt feel very likely that merc is gonna have that many open seats soon either way
i love love love kimi, i really do, BUT it would be so funny if paul just crushed kimi this year. like imagine the insane revenge arc paul can pull here????? please

how the hell do people keep mistaking ur ctubbo posts for qtubbo. all i know is qtubbo is sad about a marshmallow man being kidnapped or something like what are the similarities between these characters other than PLayed by the same guy and. goat sometimes?
i assume its partly due to the fact that the version of the post that blew up has rory sadtrashking’s tubbo on it, who usually draws Q!Tubbo stuff? But also because q!tubbo is more prevalent rn because she’s actively being worked on although he doesn’t have c!tubbos trans faggot swag but i assume thats part of it

Me in real life: I get on best with people who express their feelings easily and openly, and with whom I can exchange good wishes and love sincerely and lots.
Me watching/reading things: PEOPLE WHO LOVE EACH OTHER SO SO MUCH BUT NEVER SAY SO MY BELOVEDS.
(To be fair, that is partly so that then i can read fanfic in which they finally tell each other and it’s the best thing ever. ;-) :D )

Looking at your tags, I have to say: Wesley actually developing feelings for Angel and wrestling with/repressing them because of his upbringing and own issues and Angel trying to figure out how to handle it without alienating his friend sounds like a lot more compelling a romance arc than either of them got on the actual show.
yess anon come play with me in this space ...... in seriousness the more i consider angel x wes the more im into it for the exact reasons youve said. also they are two men with the exact same kind of personal issues (awkward, tends to think their course of action is the only course of action, sons who disappoint their fathers while despising their fathers and desperate for approval etc) so like. put them together and see what happens. it also would add a nice little flavor to wesleys betrayal of angel if he did have deeper feelings for him and he still goes thru with his plan to kidnap connor and have all that play out. also fellas is it gay for me to give my lifeblood to the vampire whos life i accidentally ruined as an act of atonement after i rescue him from his watery grave ?
