But the perfect ronance epilogue scene would’ve simply been Nancy explaining her new plans in Boston to her mom, having a cute little mother-daughter moment, and Karen saying something like “But won’t you get lonely in the big city all by yourself, since Jonathan’s not coming?”

Saw this going around and tested it myself, and I can confirm that this is unfortunately legit. Four hidden bots have been placed in any existing or newly created Discord server that are harvesting data, images, and most concerningly, one seems to be a face swap bot.

Due to them being invisible, banning them from your servers isn't possible without their ID's, which I've typed out for easy access.

Banning is done with the /ban command with each string pasted in one at a time. Four ban commands in total.

Image proof below and further information. This was in my PERSONAL server that has existed for +5 years. Discord is harvesting your shit without your consent, fight back.

The answer is yes, you absolutely can! It'll look like this - the numbers you paste will be what's "banned"

However my sibling tried this in her servers and found that One of them was NOT a string of numbers, like so:

And for clarity it isn't a difference in user or device, this is what she got elsewhere:

So if you ban these numbers and the message shows the actual username? Pretty sure that means they were in there.

Very unpleasant way to check the veracity of this post but hopefully this is a helpful tip for anyone who was concerned - my sib would have No Reason to add these in herself and didn't have any clue it was in there.

Personally, I'd say even if you are still worried about misinfo/fearmongering/etc from this post, think of it this way - worst case scenario is you're banning a bot you'll never use or need. Not a person, a bot. There's no real damage done playing it safe and running the ban commands through, aside from maybe losing some time doing so.

Don't panic. This is preventative.

I know for a fact that you can ban accounts without them being on your server because I have had to do this to human users. When you ban someone via their user account number instead of their username, it doesn't matter whether or not they're actually on your server--IOW, if someone leaves, you can look up their user account number and ban them from coming back ex post facto.

That said, yeah these are definitely slop bots that you should pre-ban. If you google any of these names you'll see what they are.

I’m a teacher now which is insane to think about. I’m turning 29 in October and I’m a lesbian

I’m finishing up my murder boyfriend’s ghostface fic and that should be finished (hopefully!) by September. And I want to work on my Beetlejuice Steddie fic that I started almost a year ago. I will def be utilizing tumblr more bc I lowkey miss it and can’t wait to share more wips. Also this is my post for looking for more Steddie moots

also this is my cat, Luna :)

“Nancy emotionally cheated on Steve and Jonathan”

“Nancy broke Steve’s heart so he doesn’t deserve her anyway”

“Nancy is just as bad as Steve”

etc.

It makes me want to scream.

Let’s look at the facts.

Season 1, Nancy is a nerd pretending to be someone she isn’t because she has this crush on Steve and thinks it will impress him. It works, unfortunately, because now it means she has to maintain the facade. Barb tried to warn Nancy and it cost her her life. Nancy can never take back that night. But she goes back to Steve at the end of the season anyway.

Why?

Conformity is a hell of a thing. Even if it’s hurting you or other people, the silent pressure to keep doing so is powerful.

Season 2, it’s a year later and Nancy is faking it till she hopefully makes it. She tries to use her brains to help Steve, but he rejects her help. Nancy is falling apart, but instead of being supportive, he insists they should just pretend. Pretend, pretend, pretend. And…so she tries.

It blows up in both of their faces. Spectacularly. Steve had one last chance here for emotional maturity and understanding. But he didn’t take it, making her pain about how she didn’t love him. Which might be true, but it’s so much bigger than you man! After the fight, Nancy vented to Jonathan, who had witnessed their relationship collapse at the party. He had taken her home when she was drunk the night before and didn’t even take credit for it. Gradually, they get closer, and Nancy accepts someone who suits her rather than someone who “makes her look cool.”

Season 3, she and Jonathan are in love and have a very strong relationship. Even when they fight, they come back together in the end. They hope that not even a move will break them.

Well…

Season 4

Jonathan is not really talking to Nancy. He doesn’t go to see her. She doesn’t go to see him. He’s hiding the fact that he’s terrified of turning out like his father, and is willing to lose Nancy if that makes her happy.

Meanwhile, Nancy thinks he could’ve met someone else and is confused and lost but isn’t really blaming him? She’s a little hurt, but with everything else going on, she keeps her focus on what is in front of her. Which is what she does best. Avoidance.

Enter Steve.

Lord. Steve.

Both Eddie and Robin pushed him back to Nancy. The epitome of conformity. Popular art reactive boy + nerdy attractive girl = every 80s fictional pairing ever. Steve talks to Nancy about “his dream” and insists it’s with her. We don’t hear what Nancy says because, well, interruption. But we did get our answer, earlier in the RV. It sounds like a nightmare.

Nancy stated back in season 1 that she didn’t want to be like her parents. Shackled to the house having kids and being a housewife. So this isn’t anything new from her.

Once the dust settled from the rift opening, Jonathan returns and she says she missed him. Robin is left to comfort Steve. And that’s it. It’s over. Stancy is dead. 

So what have we learned? Nancy has spent years breaking from conformity, having been shown that none of it matters because of her best friend’s death. She’s at her best when she is doing what she loves, WITH who she loves. At no point was she considering going back to Steve, settling down, having the future he wants. I think she’d rather tangle with those vines again than do all that.

Nancy wasn’t sure when the obsessions and resulting compulsions started. But she could remember the first time her mother noticed. At the ripe age of ten she was already being asked to vacuum, do the dishes, and the laundry a couple times a week. While her brother, Mike, wasn’t even asked to clean his room. She was counting the glasses she had loaded already to make sure they weren’t going to disappear when she heard her mother’s voice.

“What is taking so long, Nancy?” Her footsteps came to a half a few feet from her eldest.

“Nancy? What are you doing?”

“Counting,” Nancy replied innocently.

“Counting what?” Nancy didn’t recognize the tone of her mother’s voice and that made her nervous. So she decided to lie.

“Nothing…I’ll finish.” The thought of not finishing the ritual gave her great internal anxiety.

“Hurry up, it’s nearly bedtime.” Her gaze lingered on Nancy for a second too long before exiting the kitchen.

As soon as her mother was gone, she started all over again. She’d lost count. She couldn’t have that. Later that night, as she struggled to sleep, she overhead her parents talking.

“I just think we should take her to see someone. I’m not sure that’s normal, Ted.”

“Relax, it’s probably just a phase. Or a way to get out of chores. You can’t feed into every little thing the kids do, Karen, or they’ll run your life instead of you running theirs.”

“Well…would one appointment do any harm? Mike’s gonna be at school, it wouldn’t be any trouble to pull Nancy for half a day.”

“Nancy has perfect attendance so far. Do you really want to ruin that for a hunch?”
