DIGGING through the box of ornaments he pulls a few out, setting them all up so they’re easier to reach once they actually get into the groove of things. ❝ thanks for letting me help out with this, i’m sure it’s probably weird that i’m so into it but back home we always made a big deal out of it. and since i can’t go home for christmas this year i’ve been kinda missing all the traditions. ❞ When Harlow had invited him over it had taken everything in him to smother her in hugs. His fake parents both were going back to visit family but he had been instructed to stay in Riverdale, hundreds of miles away from his dad. He had been counting down the days until he could go visit everyone and when they told him in the beginning, back when he accepted the mission, that he wouldn’t be able to leave Riverdale until the case was solved he hadn’t realized the severity of it. He hadn’t realized how hard it would be. Stiles hadn’t thought about the fact that he’d be spending his favorite time of the year completely alone. He carefully hangs one of the ornaments on the tree with a soft smile. ❝ so it means a lot that you’re including me in your family’s traditions. ❞

VERSE INFORMATION // MARVEL

betty’s marvel verse is broken into a few phases, laid out below. please note, that while the events of riverdale have happened in this verse, the riverdale part has been shifted back by at least a decade and a half, to better coincide with betty being a full grown, working adult during the mcu’s timeline. additionally note that this has been built entirely with @peaceinourrtime . it is betty’s primary marvel verse, but i have no issue whatsoever creating things with other mcu/marvel muses in the same way. i have no issue interacting with other tony’s, but it should be said that i am ship exclusive with quinn’s tony. any other interactions would be platonic. thank you!

PHASE ONE - internship

21 year old betty managed to snag a summer internship at stark industries, in the press department. it was there that she began interacting on a very minor level and somewhat rarely with the key players in that company and with those associated with it. it was also at a new years eve party for employees that tony was making a cursory appearance at, that she first properly interacted with tony stark (at this point, in his late 20′s/early 30′s). it triggered a small fling between the two that ended as abruptly as it started.

PHASE TWO - pregnancy & motherhood & the start of a budding career.

although it took effort to even get a message to tony stark, betty did do the right thing and made sure he knew she was pregnant. she didn’t, however, expect anything from him, and in truth, she didn’t get anything. she barely managed to cram the coursework she was still missing into the first part of her pregnancy so she could graduate, and took time off to have her son, danny, before beginning a series of freelance writing gigs, slowly building a reputation for herself as a stellar journalist. but when things were finally settling, an unexpected presence reappeared in her life- hungover and still a bit of a wreck, but desperate for something like a family.

PHASE THREE - mrs stark

married to tony, betty lives exclusively in new york, in the penthouse where his parents once lived, with her three children, danny, jimmy (named after rhodey), and baby annie, who was born while tony was in afghanistan. tony, meanwhile, lives mostly in california, showing up in new york rarely. the children adore their father when he’s around but it’s their mother who they almost always turn to. betty is working full time for the new york times, while being a full time basically single mother. tony’s financial support helps, of course, but she runs the house and the children like clockwork.

PHASE FOUR - elizabeth cooper, journalist & agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

divorced, and caring for not only her three children, but also one of tony’s older, illegitimate children, cassie ( found @ @avestaproduction ) who elected to move in with her when the divorce was settled, betty is also running around the world, full time, as a reporter on assignment for the nyt. it’s a fantastic cover for her work for shield, an organization she was recruited to join when it became apparent to everyone that her exhusband was determined to be a superhero. however, none of her assignments were ever about tony- in fact, her superiors quickly realized that her experiences in life suited her very well to general espionage, and she often does undercover ops for them when it coincides with her work for the times.

PHASE FOUR PT 2 - S.H.I.E.L.D. after it’s fall (aos compliant)

after the fall of shield, and fury going into hiding, while coulson rebuilds what scraps are left of shield, one of the first people he was able to confirm were still loyal was betty. returning to primarily being a journalist, she is always on call, and with her children getting older, it’s easier for her to take time here and there to get things done for the new director. throughout the remaining timeline of both the mcu and aos, she is there, in the shadows and in the background, providing support and occasionally even physically helping out as coulson and his team protect the world, again and again.

ok so i KNOW this is dumb but i need to rant.

so i watched the new riverdale (which is probably more than enough of a reason for any of you to not read this and trust me—i understand). and ho. ly. shit. i have genuinely NEVER been so mad at a tv show in my whole fucking life.

i’ll admit here and now that i still watch riverdale, because i am unwaveringly stubborn and i’m seeing this shit show through to the end. so things that seem, from a surface level, pretty genuine, anger me more than they should because i know the context of this bullshit. which means that, if you’re reading this, you’ll have to hear all of that shit so i can fully explain my anger.

so the episode is like. almost entirely based around the high school’s guidance counselor (who everyone is conveniently going to for therapy, even a character who goes to another school, but i can’t even be mad at riverdale for using a shitty mcguffin like that. it should be expected) where all the kids talk about their fucked up lives. that’s cool, i can accept that. riverdale does some dumb shit, but if they’d just done a psychological deep dive into their characters after all the trauma they’ve been through over the course of two and a half years? sure. I’ll bite. but this is riverdale, a show that somehow seems to be written by teenage interns who have never written a script in their life and 40-somethings who have never met real teens in their lives, so that’s not what we got. no, what we did get was this shitty school counselor listening to the characters unload genuine emotional trauma about their parents, and hear the counselor basically say, “they’re just trying to protect you.”

now allow me to explain why that is absolute fucking bullshit.

Betty’s mom forced herself into her daughter’s counseling session, because Alice ran to the high school guidance counselor to ask how she should deal with her daughter being sexually actively—which already, big fucking yikes. after a couple of minutes of back and forth about how Betty is being denied by her dream college because she’s having sex and irresponsibly disregarding her future in doing so (which again, huge red flag but let’s put that on the back burner for like two seconds). the counselor decides that they should do a joint session to work some shit out. ok. fine. whatever. moving on.

Betty says her mom lying to her whole life impacted her negatively. which yeah, that actually makes sense. in less than two years her mother went undercover with the fbi and joined a cult, without telling her own child that she at least didn’t believe in what the cult preached, gave away all the money she had saved for college to said cult, and was working with her half brother who Betty believed was dead (this is riverdale it’s a lot to unpack and i don’t blame you if you stop here bc ive been watching this show since 2017 and im still confused when i read that). she also had Betty’s sister committed to the sisters of quiet mercy, which is basically a disciplinary school for literally anything and everything under the sun (pregnant teenagers, mentally ill children, and conversion therapy are a few things we’ve seen it used for), and didn’t tell Betty that her sister was there, or that she was pregnant. her parents let her believe that her sister was a drug addict in rehab, because that was better than anyone knowing their daughter was pregnant, and then ofc that Alice reads her diary because she refuses to let her daughter have any semblance of privacy. keep in mind, this whole episode started with Alice opening Betty’s mail, seeing that she didn’t get accepted to Yale, and telling her that she searched her room to see “what could be distracting her from her future” (and then gets mad at her for having birth control). her mother says, “I just wanted to protect you.” okay, fine. whatever, that’s total bullshit, but fine.

but then!!! she has a breakdown about how she wants Betty to be better and she’s scared of her growing up and she just wants her to be safe which. ok. ok. ok. shut up. she’s said this EVERY. SEASON. OF THE SHOW. how many times can she say the exact same thing and never learn from it? but Betty isn’t having that shit, she’s been dealing w this shit for so long and she’s done, right? she’s growing up, and her mom would have to be incredibly naive to think that she could just stop that, especially when they are living w her bf’s family. like yeah, they live together. they share a room. they’re teenagers, they’re gonna have sex. who. fucking. cares. her mom then tells Betty that it’s because she’s her favorite child, which........Yikes. and the scene ends.

the weird thing is like.....we’re meant to sympathize with Alice??? after everything she has done—much of which i didn’t touch on—because.............Betty’s her favorite child?????? that’s???????? SUPPOSED TO JUSTIFY THE THINGS SHE DOES?????????? no no no NO what the fuck is THAT manipulative bullshit?? what the fuck. i can’t even think of anything else to say about that, what the actual fuck.

but the real kicker ooooooooh bitch. it’s the end of the episode, with Jughead. many other things happen between the Betty’s session and Jughead’s, but they don’t necessarily fit into what I’m trying to say so I won’t be talking about it. but holy shit the things she said to Jughead? for context, Jughead’s father is an abusive piece of shit. he has gotten violent with his own son, threatened him, abandoned him for his gang when the rest of their family moved out of state to get away from him (Jughead’s dad), and he is an alcoholic who did things like getting drunk at Jughead’s 15th birthday party, and that’s just the cliff notes version. basically he’s a grade-a abusive asshole, which is a field i am well-versed in.

FP, Jughead’s father, says that his father was an abusive drunk, so obvs the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. one of the the biggest issues with this show, though, is that they refuse to acknowledge that FP himself is abusive. like, even writers of the show have said that he is not abusive, even saying that viewers were ignorant to believe that he is (and as someone with an abusive father, first of all, fuck you). and Jughead is on a mission this entire season to prove that his grandfather was some great writer or whatever and his work was stolen from him.

now, how exactly does any of that relate to the discussion at hand?, you might be asking. well he’s at riverdale high to get his transcripts or whatever bc he’s at a new school and they’re all assholes (no, im not going into further explanation of that because there is way too much to unpack). so he’s w the guidance counselor, they talk about it and she has the fucking gall to say, “but think about how your father must feel about all of this???” which, okay, i see where she might be coming from. FP was abused by his dad. but Jughead is also abused by FP, so why the fuck should he worry about whether or not he’s hurting his father? FP irreparably damaged Jughead—I promise you all that being homeless, being hit and threatened by your father, being abandoned by your entire family? that’s not shit you can repair. you don’t just fix that shit. that stays with you.

the counselor tells Jughead that he should be proud of the man his father worked to become (like he isn’t still horrible to Jughead????? for example, forcing him to go to a school that he does not want to go to because it makes their family look better??? ok), she says FP is just supporting his son. and the real kicker—she says, “and you repay him by going on this quest to prove that the man that caused him immeasurable pain is some kind of wronged hero? how do you think that makes him feel?” (that is the quote verbatim, by the way. that is what she says so Jughead)

like FP has earned something from Jughead. like Jughead is in the wrong for not wanting his name to be seen as a joke. no, this is how you repay him for everything he did for you. FP abused his son. it’s literally that fucking simple. and Jughead didn’t even want to talk to this lady, she forced him into the conversation while he waited for fucking transcripts so he could apply to colleges. and we, the audience, are supposed to be on the counselor’s side. we’re supposed to say “yeah Jughead, look at everything your dad has done for you! he loves you!!”

Jughead even says it himself. “My poor dad. I’m so selfish.” like his dad deserves his respect. like he earned Jughead’s respect. like FP deserves a single goddamn thing from his son.

keep in mind, this is a show that’s biggest demographic is people under 20 and they are basically telling their audience that their parent’s abuse is just because they’re “protective” or because they’re “trying to help them.” guess what, that’s not fucking true. if your parent, or ANYONE, is abusing you, it is because they are fucked up. it is not because they love you, it’s not because they “want what’s best for you.” and how dare anyone, let alone fucking Riverdale, try to tell me that it is. no, as someone with an abusive father, i fucking promise you, this shit is not out of love. abuse is not love. and fuck Riverdale for trying to tell me that it is.

Undercover cop FP Jones

A fan had a theory that FP was undercover during the episode in which he talked about using Jason’s jacket as collateral. It’s probably not going to be a real thing in the show. But I am putting a verse where this is the case. He’s not a real serpent in this verse. He’s on the good guy’s side. Investigating Jason’s death on his own. And maybe part of his job involved drug deals amongst kids. And that whole thing with Jason and the drug deal could’ve been apart of it. In this verse jughead is unaware. When FP gets arrested for the murder no one knows his real job. The sheriff doesn’t either. Not sure the “state” Riverdale is supposed to be in. But for this verse I’ll make up a state and he’ll be working for the state police instead of local. So with that said like for a starter from undercover FP jones.
