The Thing Is, If You Rewatch The Boat Scene, The Last Person Steve Looks At Before He Gets Sucked Into
The thing is, if you rewatch the boat scene, the last person Steve looks at before he gets sucked into the Upside Down (after the first scare) is Robin.
He comes out, tentacle still tight around his ankle, and he looks at his best friend.
Do you think that’s what Robin is thinking about when she jumps? On that look, that knowing look of fear and a half-apology, like his face before the Russian’s got them… on every second he is under water and not coming out, like when they took him to be interrogated…
Because Nancy jumped first. And yes, Nancy is brave and smart, and yes Robin is pretty sure she still has feelings for Steve, but she also broke his heart. Robin knows, Robin remembers the way Steve’s voice broke when he admitted to it in a bathroom stall… and yet Nancy, who can’t possibly love Steve as much as Robin does, jumped in.
And Robin isn’t brave. She’s smart and she’s stand-offish and she’s curious and she’s loud… but she doesn’t consider herself brave. Not the way Steve is, because he will jump into danger again and again if it means protecting the people he loves. She knows, because she’s lucky enough to count herself in that list. And she let him. She let him jump alone this time.
But that is her best friend in the fucking world. That is her brother, and they couldn’t be closer even if they shared blood or a last name. He is her boy, hers. The one that drives her to school and gives her pep talks and keeps her secrets and makes her laugh and holds her hand when they are scared and stands between her and the world and he’s an idiot but he’s her idiot dammit and if she stuck with him as the Russias caught them, she sure as hell is sticking with him now.
So she jumps. And it isn’t even a choice. Because when he knew what would happen, he didn’t look at Nancy or at Eddie or ask for help. He looked at Robin because she is his person, just as much as he is hers. So when she dives into the dark waters towards a strange and dangerous world after her best friend… how could she not?

in episode 9 of the 12th season, when Wendy wanted to kick Ass Cartman, the Goth kids were the only ones who tried to convince Stan to protect Wendy. This shows that the Goths care about others. I don’t know about you, but I think that the period when Stan was Goth was not forgotten, and I can’t stop thinking that they still communicate, not like before, but
(but they still came to watch the fight)
