humble fumble, ballot boxed

Not sure what "try being popular" even means. I don't think Reggie ever wins these things.

The execution on "Ballot Boxed", where after seeing how everyone is swayed by Jughead's slogan posters for Archie's candidacy Reggie buys him off and you see the rest here, leaves something to be desired. It needs just a mite better slogans than "Archie By Cracky" for me to suspend disbelief and accept. On the soundness of the premise, I am reminded that in voting for asb positions, having nothing else to go by and no clear idea of what the heck I was voting for besides a good line for the candidates' college applications, I voted for whoever have me the most number of campaign stickers.

Albus Severus is not his name. His name is remus regulus. REMUS REGULUS. A marauders first name. A black middle name. Just like his brother.

He should not be named after the people who wanted his father dead. Severus was willing to give up a baby so a woman who doesn’t love him could live. Like that woman could even remotely be okay after her child died. The fuck is wrong with that racist.

And Albus literally cares about himself. You were emotionally abused for how long? Because of a stupid blood bond. Get tf out of here. And ion wanna hear that remus was a werewolf shit Mary could’ve took him too.

ASSHOLES.

(Also Harry you’d be dead with the rest of the marauders without regulus soooo the least you could do was give him a name sake) (I still love you. But come on man.)

Edit: I also kinda like Marlene Lily. Cause I’ve always thought it’s weird naming your child after your parent when one of your kids is already named after your parents so then your kids are named after a couple… that fucked… so you can be conceived… but Ykw Harry. I love you. You ain’t really know shit about any marauders because someone (albus) got yo parents killed. So Ykw. Do you bae… do you!

Play for Today: Bavarian Night (BBC, 1981)

"These bloody middle class parents, ooh, they do get up my nose! You can work yourself blue in the face for them, go out of your way to accommodate them, but it's no use! They're just out to carve and criticise and try to make a fool out of you! Oh, I felt like - I'm ashamed to tell you what I felt like."

"Giving her a good hiding?"

"Yes, somebody should have done, I don't mind saying so! Oh, they make me sick! Always had their own way, always had the best of everything; she should have been brought up in our house, my dad would've had her sorted! I'm sorry, Estelle, this isn't like me, I know. Well, that's my evening spoilt for a start!"

"But what about the sausages?"

capitalism by oingo boingo is so wild like. it’s jarring to hear a satirical song from the perspective of an older guy talking about how kids are socialist revolutionary special snowflakes these days. and it came out in 1981. so the “kids” are gen x. and yet it translates to being about gen z kids seamlessly 40+ years later. like wow we’re really still fighting for the same shit after all this time huh

dangerous when neat, a neat story

They add a joke for Little Jughead. Big Jughead has already worn dresses and will continue to do so sporadically. Little Jughead's cross-dressing is probably less frequent but undoubtedly you can find a case of two.

They remove the funeral reference. Also there is no longer any demand to "take it off". Initially Mr. Weatherbee is handing Jughead a new suit right there to an undershirt and boxers wearing Jughead. In the Little Jughead version, we move to a scene with a faculty meeting over Jughead's dress before he gets a fancy suit to wear. This changes reaction shots from faculty in the original to students in the Little Jughead variant.

Situationally, the boy gobsmacked by Jughead's appearance and so distracted at the drinking fountain normally gets played at Riverdale High with a boy reacting to, like, a girl in a mini-skirt.

Funny that the dropping of the dated "Desi and Dino" reference takes us to "cuter than ever" -- suggesting they have always found him cute. A different changed reaction from the love interest in Jughead's life in a later variation of this basic premise.

A bullying sequence with homophobic notes to it. Limp wrist gestures, huh?

And everything gets set right in whatever version we are talking, including where Jughead can go necktie-less, and back to the blue sweatshirt -- until he wears a red one.

I wish someone else came up with Harry Potter. :/

It’s like everyone in the world is slowly expanding. Whether it’s as a person or personal opinions and beliefs, or anything really. Books, cinema, wtv wtv. It’s like the Harry Potter franchise stays at the same spot never moving. Because the creator never moves. The creator is one of those people you can’t whatsoever talk into anything. When she says something it happens or doesn’t whether you want it or not. And you’d think that’d be good. But the creator has this mindset that’s unacceptable . But somehow she created the masterpiece. Beautiful world. And though it’s so beautiful and amazing. It stays- still. Do you get me? It could be so much more if she was out of the picture. There’s so much being stopped with the wave of her hand. Imagine what we could have. Imagine the ideas in your head that could become reality. It’s like she’s stuck in the frozen world. She’s repeating and repeating and repeating instead of moving forward and creating. So we’re stuck rewatch her. Disappointed and bored.
