riverdale core four is like. they are codependent, they are toxic, they are best friends, they are starved horny teenagers searching for a feeling they can’t describe, they are kids playing house, mirroring the adults around them. they are tied together by fate, they are chemically bonded for life by the trauma they’ve been through, they are the only constant force in each other’s lives through the ever-unfolding darkness in their town. they are trapped in a powder keg, holding onto each other, waiting to explode. and most importantly: they love each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world.

#and i think that’s beautiful!#riverdale #core four #some meta rambling about stuff here:#i think young teenagers(especially traumatized ones) sometimes sort of think of themselves as adults #which makes the fact that the characters are played by actors older than them interesting to me-#like i don’t think this is really intentional but it shows the way teens see themselves #as mature and cultivated and ready for anything life can throw at them- but in reality they’re still kids whose senses of self #are still developing and changing and are vulnerable to damage and manipulation #< not exactly related but worth mentioning with the core four and how trauma metaphorically ages them up #along with their relationships w each other
