OC Song Tag Game

Jumping on an open tag from @coffeewritesfiction because this looked fun

rules: share one song that describes your character, and one song they'd love

The song that stands out as describing Nancy is, unsurprisingly, is It's Been So Long by The Living Tombstone

And for one that she'd like, Who Put The Bomp? by Barry Mann

And I'm tagging @new-eyes-extra-colors @chaosintheavenue and @willinglyghoulified No pressure of course!

they wouldn’t have missed

[jxncywarrior]

does anyone else notice how for queer headcanon ships, the vast majority of the fandoms hc one as gay and one as bi? i’m not sure i’ve ever seen a non-canon queer ship where both characters were bi4bi or gay4gay. here are just a few of the examples i could think of.

Byler (Stranger Things): Will (canonically gay) - Mike (bi)

Ronance (Stranger Things): Robin (canonically lesbian) - Nancy (bi)

Elmax (Stranger Things): Eleven (lesbian) - Max (bi)

Steddie (Stranger Things): Steve (bi) - Eddie (gay)

Buddie (9-1-1): Buck (canonically bi) - Eddie (gay)

Destiel (Supernatural): Dean (bi) - Castiel (canonically gay)

Amezona (Grey’s Anatomy): Amelia (canonically bi) - Arizona (canonically lesbian)

and these are just the ones of the top of my head, there’s probably a lot more out there. i know there are some exceptions but I just noticed a pattern. the vast majority of these fandoms never headcanon both characters in the ship the same sexuality.

i just thought it was funny.

[feminist-cult-following]

characters that are actually lesbians because I say so <3

1. shiv roy — sometimes a woman hurts every man in her life because her true love is a woman <3

2. alicent hightower — goes without saying tbh

3. cristina yang — her offering to break up with owen so that teddy will stay in Seattle…I know what you are

4. cindy berman — literally if comphet was a person

5. agatha harkness — little miss “did somebody leave the oven on or is that just you, hot stuff?” can’t fool me

6. nancy wheeler — no one who isn’t gay looks at another woman the way she was looking at robin in that library

7. aria montgomery — wdym she ended up with her creepy teacher? no her and spencer are literally married

8. spencer hastings — see above

9. cassie howard — I know a closeted train wreck when I see one

10. tabby haworthe — she’s literally the mother of imogen’s baby

11. rachel gatina — ladies is it gay to destroy your own reputation and entire high school career to protect your bestie from expulsion?

12. johanna mason — it just makes sense

If I Should Stay

Tread lightly, folks. Discussions of past cheating, which is kinda par for the course for these two. Also, please keep in mind I do not condone Nancy’s actions in the least, nor do I fully believe Joyce has the best intentions for Nancy. It’s not conscious, mind you, but subconsciously, she’s always gonna want to her help kids first. Big gray area here.

Part 1 | . . . | Part 66 | Part 67 | Part 68

Joyce tugs Nancy in even more securely. “I know exactly what you mean. But no one here is like that. I think, this time around, he’s done an excellent job of surrounding himself with people who actually care about him.” She runs a hand over Nancy’s hair. “And you’re part of that group. Regardless of what you want to call what you feel for him, it’s obvious you care. It’s okay to need to take some time, but in the end, when you’re wondering what’s next, just remember he cares for you too.”

Nancy nods. “I think I do need some time,” she murmurs. “It just feels like he moved on so fast.”

“Because it’s not been as long for you,” Joyce nods. “I get it, honey. Take all the time you need. Want Jonathan to keep you company?”

Nancy looks at her. “D’you know who I cheated on Steve with?”

Joyce smiles softly at her. “I do. And trust me, I’d have something to say to him about it later if he’d known you two were still together.” She inclines her head toward Nancy, brows raised, gaze serious.

“Oh,” Nancy whispers, eyes dropping. “I didn’t know that.”

“Mhm. But it’s in the past—well, the future past, I guess—and you can take as long as you need, okay? But I do think someone deserves an apology.”

Nancy sighs. “You’re right.” She picks at the hem of her pants, then nods and stands up, hands on her hips. “I need time. But I need to apologize first.” She just as suddenly deflates, nerves coming in fast. “Will- will you come with me?”

Joyce smiles up at her. “Of course I will. C’mon.” She stands too and offers Nancy another hug, which she gratefully accepts. “I’m proud of you,” she murmurs.

“Thank you,” Nancy whispers, pulling back and squaring her shoulders as she stares at the house.

They walk up together but Joyce walks in first, Nancy following just behind. “Steve?” She asks timidly. “Can I talk to you?”

Robin and Allison both stiffen, but Steve waves them off as he gets up. “Outside?”

“Steve-” Allison starts, but he holds up a hand before turning to her.

“I’ll be fine,” he says softly. “We’re just gonna talk.”

He walks outside with her, Joyce hovering by the door, acting both as support and as a lookout.

“I’m sorry,” Nancy says forcefully, like it was pulled out of her. “I shouldn’t have gotten so upset, you broke up with me, and you really didn’t owe me an explanation but you gave me one anyways, even if it hadn’t actually happened yet, but I… I got insecure. And jealous. So I’m sorry.”

Steve nods, shoves his hands in his pockets, looks down. Scuffs his shoe along the concrete. “I get why you’re upset,” he starts cautiously. “But I thought we were okay. And to find out we’re not…” he lets out a harsh breath. “I do still care for you, Nancy. You’re one of my best friends. But I think I’m gonna need some time for this one.”

Nancy looks down at her own feet, wrapping her arms around herself. “I don’t think I took as much time as I should’ve,” she admits. “Can you count me out of this one?”

Steve manages a smile. “Yeah, I can do that.”

“And-” she squeezes her eyes shut, lets out a shaky breath. “Jonathan too, maybe?”

“I-” Steve takes a breath, stops himself, looks wide-eyed at the ground before letting out a long, controlled breath. “Yeah. I can do that.” His words are barely a whisper, and he lets out another short, harsh breath before brushing past her. “Excuse me.”

He lets himself back inside, and Nancy stands there, wide-eyed, staring through the spot he’d been standing in.

Then, Nancy Wheeler breaks.

The tears come in strong and fast, and she’s crumbling where she stands before strong arms catch her. “It’s alright,” Joyce whispers in her ear. “It’ll be alright.”

She lowers them both to the ground and lays Nancy’s head on her shoulder.

“I- I don’t get it,” Nancy sobs. “I did the right th-thing and I f-feel terrible!”

Joyce hushes her. “I know, dear. Sometimes the right thing feels terrible in the moment, but is best in the long run.” She runs a hand over Nancy’s head. “Did you drive yourself?”

Nancy nods. “And M-Mike.”

“Okay. Do you think I could drive you home and Jon could follow in our car? That way he can stay with you and I can come back here.”

Nancy nods and look up at her. “C-can you m-make sure Steve’s okay?”

“Of course, dear. Come on, let’s get you home, okay? And I’ll even give you my mom’s recipe to heal a broken heart: a warm cup of tea, a good cry, and a good night’s rest.”

Aside from Nancy

[doyoudrew]

John Grey is actually one of the coolest characters in the games and his sci-psychic deal is fun

[madlyn5ever]

Time for all of my current autistic headcanons because I’ve got more and I need to share:

(Not including characters like Brennan from Bones who are as canon as you can get without it being said flat out in the show/movie/whatever.)

Maddox- hsmtmts

Big Red- hsmtmts

Anya Jenkins- Buffy The Vampire Slayer (will discuss in length how she is so autistic)

Cristina Yang- Grey’s Anatomy (will also discuss this in length I have so many thoughts) (she’s also canonically dyslexic)

Arizona Robbins- Grey’s Anatomy

Sam- Ghosts (U.S. not UK I haven’t seen the uk version. This one is purely a vibe I can’t explain)

Wednesday Addams (specifically Wednesday from the Netflix series, on the fence on other Wednesday iterations, just because of who the character is and her family and and her life and interests.)

(I have a very strong opinion on this one and would discuss it in length bc Wednesday series Wednesday is one of the most autistic characters ever.)

Robin Buckley- Stranger things (although I also strongly see her as just having ADHD, but I love the autism headcanon for her so either works)

Nancy Wheeler- Stranger Things (you can pry this from my cold dead hands. Also OCD for her cause I saw this edit that went into detail on this and I absolutely agree. I think that one Nancy character analysis slide show talks about OCD too but idk.)

Some honorable mentions (I‘m deciding on my opinion and need thoughts from others):

Meredith Grey- Grey’s Anatomy

(I don’t know, bc there’s a lot to unpack there, but I sort of think so so if anyone has opinions or thoughts on this please let me know!)

Tara Maclay- Buffy The Vampire Slayer (I would’ve included this one in my head canons bc she so is but also she feels like maybe she just has an anxiety disorder and a messed up family and it’s less she’s got autism. But she could have all three honestly I’m not sure. But I love her sm.)

[userlaylivia]
