Is anyone else happy that they didn’t take the Nancy and Johnathan story In such a cliche direction. Like I wouldn’t hate them together but it’s also great that Steve isn’t made into the typical douchebag that Nancy has to be “saved” from by the sensitive weirdo. Steve is shown to actually care about Nancy as more than just a notch on his belt but as a person. He acts like an ass and he’s punished for it but he’s given a chance to redeem himself. And that’s not mentioning how take no shit/can make up her own dam mind Nancy is with both of them.

steve is such an important character though against toxic masculinity. he does not pressure nancy into sex, backs off when she says no the first time. he genuinely cares about nancy, to the point he seems nearly heartbroken about her “””cheating”””. he cuts ties with his friends when they go too far and at the end gives jonathan a joint present with nancy. he subverts every annoying douchebag trope and shows time and time again he really cares for nancy. now all we need is a ot3 and all will be well
