Decided to make a full post about Pretty in Pink, because I don't believe in coincidences anymore
If Vickie is an obvious tribute to Molly Ringwaldâs character Andie, then Robin is Duckie (Andieâs best friend, an outsider who is in love with her, but is afraid to tell her how he truly feels), because there is no way Robin is Blane (a rich douchebag).
Blane, Andie and Duckie
Andie ends up with Blane, but Duckie ends up with âDucketteâ, who looks like this:
Basically, Duckie who was in love with OG "mom I want Pretty in Pink" (Andie), gets "but we have Pretty in Pink at home" (Duckette)
I have two interpretations of Pretty in Pink "coincidence", one crazier than another lmao
1. Vckie is Andie, Robin is Duckie, Steve is Blane (Iâm really sorry but there is not much rich douchebag teenagers in the show) and Nancy is......Duckette.
So Vckie will end up with Steve or whatever alone idc and Robin with Nancy. Hooray, a win is a win!
2. Vckie is Duckette, Robin is Duckie, Steve is Blane and Nancy is.....Andie
Ride with me: Robin and Nancy are best friends, just like Duckie and Andie. And Robin, same as Duckie, is in love with her best friend Nancy.
But Nancy will choose Steve and Robin will end up with Vckie
Honestly, I don't know which option I prefer more, so please choose one by yourself lmao
BUT 2nd concept is JUST SO FUCKING GOOD for angst fanfic plots (Ronance ofc) and I guess this was a hint for our brave ronance warriors from the duffers who are too chicken to make ronance canon :) And it kinda semi-canonically states that Robin is in love with Nancy
If we are talking about the song itself, I agree with fellow @whiteshoespinklaces and Iâm not sure if the lyrics suit Vckie, but Nancy is a fucking perfect match to the song's lyrics
