It would be half of Jughead's vocabulary. Literally, almost every fucking word out of his fucking mouth.

Veronica would use it in the most couture way but also prolifically. Mostly gasps of quiet "oh fuck..."

It would casually slip out of Archie. "Fuck it! One in the kitchen, one in the backyard!"

But Betty? Betty's not allowed to use that word. She'll get in trouble. But when she does use it? It makes the audience go "oh fuck..."

I wish they were allowed to say fuck on riverdale 😔😔

OKAY BUT HOW DO I GET THE 50SDALE VERONICA AND JUGHEAD PAINTINGS

WHO do i have to get in touch with to get a high quality print of cheryl's fursona painting!!!!

or really like. why the fuck is it so hard to even figure out who the irl artists are who do all of cheryl's paintings bc i'm preeetty sure they're not all by oksana gaidasheva (who did the night gallery paintings, specifically, as i have found articles testifying to) and beyond that i have no idea and have not been able to find any clear information online

maddening. i continue to be deeply frustrated by the fact that people make amazing paintings that appear in shows and video games that would make a lot of sense to sell prints of somewhere (or at least let the original artists do it themselves!) and instead they just decide to make more icon t-shirts and boring keychains and call it a day on official merch

My issue is that after everything they all scattered and that was that. Archie went west and "never looked back". Jughead stayed in Riverdale but then moved to NYC and his only focus was on his magazine. Betty was only focused on her activism. And Veronica was the first to announce she was leaving.

The "endgame" focus, I think, is an extension of this. You're right, there doesn't have to be a romantic happily ever after to be a good, or satisfying, ending. But the fact that after graduation they just ... Left each other? That's where it feels unsatisfactory and unfinished.

Sure RAS was probably like "there's 70 years to fill in! Have fun with your fanfictions! It's up to you to keep it alive!" But that does nothing for the casual viewer who doesn't engage in fandom. The finale and the indecision of who was endgame is all they're left with.

I’m so sick of how people act like an endgame is the only thing that matters. The discourse surrounding Riverdale is “only Choni got endgame” like that means they’re the only good ship or the only good story. I even hate how people talk about Barchie in the last season because they had so many good scenes no one cares about because they didn’t get married like Choni 😭

I agree. You all know I love Ch*ni and loved their ending (and what I’m about to say isn’t about them) but the “happily ever after” ending isn’t always the most satisfying one or the best story told. Barchie had a beautiful story in the finale and had the most significant ship moment out of anyone. While I understand people are disappointing in aspects of their story (trust me, I am too), it’s not always about endgame. The love is still there.

I remember the early interviews and the love triangle was always A/B/V. In fact, most of the discourse around Jughead and any romantic involvement was centered around his very short lived asexuality in the comics. Cole played it off very well saying that he "trusted" the writers and that there needs to be more representation of that in media. Remember, his whole life was media training. So, when those interviews were happening he already knew that BH was going to be a thing by the end of the season.

But totally agree prev BH (and their fans) were the absolute reason why we didn't get BA in high school. I loved the "fake cheating" arc because you can see how much chemistry they have.

re the comics + triangle, it's funny that they did state in interviews at the beginning of the show that the triangle would be archie/betty/jughead. So it was always the plan ig

Really? If anyone has a link, I would love to read!

Though B/A/J wasn’t “played” like a love triangle, BH was the reason BA didn’t get together sooner and I stand by that. Without J, the B/A/V triangle wouldn’t have stood a chance against BA at the end of the day. The early 50s episodes showcased that. I stand by that!
