Welcome to the Chenford Fandom!
What's ur favourite Chenford parallel?
I’m Excited to be here! Thank you! 😊
The parallel that comes to mind at the moment is….
Season 4- Hugs
This is the most physical contact I think we’ve seen them have, outside of 2x11, and before the kiss. I believe Tim started feeling things for Lucy in season 1, and was unconsciously in love with her by season 3. In 3x14, he was beginning to allow himself to openly feel things for Lucy ( elevator look), (If circumstances were different we might have seen them canon early season 4).
In 4x01, those feelings carried into this moment. Their emotions are so heightened. Maybe a little bit of adrenaline played a part. Tim clearly wanted to kiss her, but knew it wasn’t the right time. I really don’t know how he was able to stop himself. Lucy’s reaction, I think, like some others have said, was her coming to the realization that Tim may have feelings for her. I think prior to that, the thought of having something more with Tim, may have crossed her mind, but she knew she couldn’t go there, because of how it ended with Nolan 🤮, and maybe she thought Tim would NEVER cross that line! I think she dismissed her feelings, and tried to keep them at bay, as much as possible, but there are signs/ moments that show it isn’t working. I think once Tim became Sergeant, he also reverted back to setting boundaries to their relationship and closed himself off to the possibility of something more with her, hence him jumping into a relationship with Ashley. Anyway, the tension and chemistry in this scene is so palpable. My heart was in my stomach, and I still get butterflies. This is one of my favorite scenes, it makes my top 5.
In 4x09, I am so glad Tim chose Lucy to be there with him for emotional support, instead of his so called “GF”. When Tim comes out of the room, his guards are down. He is looks so fragile/broken. He wants her to know the Tim Test comment, earlier in the episode, affected him, and it stayed with him for at least a day or two. That speaks volumes. What she thinks/feels about him matters. The way she knew he needed a hug, her reassurance, how he melts into her, and how she tightens her hold ❤️❤️❤️. This moment propels them to a new level in their working/ non working relationship. Side note: I wonder why he disassociates/ downplays their relationship when he is talking about Lucy to other people (not his partner/ not his friend). Is that his way of protecting her/ their relationship or is it a defense mechanism?
Bonus- A parallel I am hoping to see in season 5, is Lucy doing whatever she has to, to save Tim. Give me all of the 2x11 moments in reverse.

my favorite jancy/byler parallel
at the end of season 1, Mike and Nancy lose a friend.
they carry the guilt of their death and and only break down in private...
feeling like they're slowly losing their sanity...
...and the only person they find comfort and understanding in is a Byers brother.

I REMEMBER what i was going to say. vanitas (character) is also vanitas (concept) and an allegory for a cycle of systematic suffering and abuse that exists haplessly and without purpose. noé right from the start is in denial over the existence of such useless suffering (thinking he can save mina) and continues to deny this by writing the case study of vanitas, his futile attempt to scrape off some meaning from such a bleak allegory. while he can understand that killing vanitas is a form of salvation for him i don’t think that can come to terms with the fact that vanitas did suffer at all. so to write the case study of vanitas, trying to go over the events of their lives together, and trying to piece together vanitas the person he ends up disrespecting his existence altogether, simply by over scrutinizing it. vanitas did not want to be remembered. by saying he wanted to erase the existence of the votbm, he is saying he wants to erase his suffering from this world. what noé does with the case study is essentially immortalize it, because he is selfish, naive, and wants to understand something inscrutable. rather than taking comfort in the fact that vanitas can continue to exist in his memories, like how he will tell him as he dies (i won’t die noé even if i’m no longer here) noé bastardizes these memories and turns them into something almost masturbatory
