SPIN TIME

[riverdale-retread]

rank riverdale dads from most to least likely to have a secret second family the audience never saw

Interesting question because Hiram and FP have already been proven to have secret/surprise children. Did they stop at only that one secret child though? Giving the question a close read, who might have a second FAMILY, and be unaffected?

Most likely: Hiram Lodge.

Hal Cooper. Taking all the stuff at face value? That man had a drastically different 'secret' life from his surface one. He was also looking for someone just like him in his gene pool. He disapproved of uncontrolled (by him) fertility in both his wife and his eldest daughter. He would want a controllable second family, then lose interest.

FP Jones. He definitely has more than one unknown child (Charles aside) but I dunno about family. Family is such a problem for FP that I doubt he could sustain having two.

Tom Keller. He wants to parent. He likes being a husband. Neither of his on screen marriages worked, so I think he might have kept trying.

Fangs Fogarty gets honorary mention here, because he did have a child.

Fred Andrews. Fred got married to a lesbian bisexual without noticing, apparently, and he's actually not very good with women, which is surprising given his evident beauty and goodness.

Marty Mantle. Sigh. Where to begin with Marty. But yeah. Unlikely, and saved from least likely only because of Clifford Blossom.

Least Likely: Clifford Blossom has no real sexuality. This is not to say he's ace or whatever. He exists as a caretaker of the Blossom fortune, and will do whatever the Blossom family curse demands that he do. He never escapes that edict, and therefore cannot make himself a second family.

now that the show's over, top 10 parentdale lines?

I'm actually an idiot and posted the draft last night instead of the ask. Why did no on ask for context.

Anyway I only did 8 but some are more than one line. I also kept it to s1.

"Okay, what is wrong with you people?" "Will you just spare us the middle-class morality? It's not like they were brother and sister." - Hal Cooper, Clifford Blossom (all the dialogue from this scene is gold tbh)

"Slut shaming. It's what they call it when sluts get shamed." - Alice Cooper (iconic and beyond reproach)

"Alice Cooper - no longer lactose intolerant I see." - Hermione Lodge (been haunted by this line for six and a half years what the FUCK does this line mean)

"There's the sticky, dark, dirty truth. Maple syrup. Drown in it why don't you!" - Penelope Blossom (she's literally SO dramatic in this scene especially considering what we find out scenes later happened)

"I'm so sorry to interrupt your adultery, Fred." - Alice Cooper 

"You remember our Homecoming, Alice?Hal? Back in the day? Your mom ever tell you about that night? ("Just that she and my dad were king and queen.") "Yeah they were - of hell." - FP Jones (this whole scene is also great but you KNOW this bitch thought he was so clever coming up with this little quip)

"I mean is there not a nice gay kid at your school?" - Tom Keller (#1 ally) 

"I didn't realize that you were a polyamorist." "I don't think that's an actual word." - Alice Cooper, Mary Andrews

Finished my Riverdale season 1 rewatch!!!

Some quick random thoughts:

I find Alice to be utterly INSUFFERABLE in this first season. Wow. I don’t like her in general, but I fcking hate her in S1 lol.

Bughead actually started out so sweet, I liked them together this season. Why did they have to ruin it?! Their “I love you” in the finale… 🥺

FP Jones & Joaquin DeSantos, you both deserved so much better

Why did Kevin have more chemistry with Joaquin than any of his future love interests until Clay���? Justice for Joavin!

My Varchie babies UGH

I like Hermione in the beginning of the season, but as soon as Hiram is said to be coming back into the picture, BOOM, she sucks. Another reason their relationship is trash.

I love the Jughead-FP stuff, genuinely heartbreaking

Cheryl’s meanness never made me hate her, even before Toni came in & calmed that bitchiness down. Her “crazier than a serial killer on bath salts” line had me ROLLING.

Archie was such a wh*re this season omg. He dated, kissed, or had something romantic with almost everyone, like damn boy.

Fred Andrews will ALWAYS be the best adult character on this show (Pop’s is a close 2nd). Just a wholesome, good person ugh.

Archie fckin’ up his hands trying to save Cheryl from the ice got me really emotional, actually. Shoulda made them besties, idc!

“Believer” by Imagine Dragons playing while Archie/Veronica get BUSY, Jughead/Betty almost have sex, Cheryl burns down her house, and Jughead starts his journey to becoming a Serpent is… MWAH. Chefs kiss! 💋

I’m so fcking obsessed with the aesthetic of this season and the way the mystery played out. SUCH a good season, goddamn.

Riverdale 7x12 - After the Fall (spoilers)

There are eight episodes left. I just wanted to point that out. Eight episodes and we get...this. Going to possibly be my shortest recap ever.

Ethel is cleared of killing the Milkman and she's no longer a suspect in her parents murder. She's forced to go back with Alice, who starts to treat her like she's her daughter (as if Ethel hasn't been through enough). She and Jughead are told by the councilor that the Milkman was insane transient. Not even the principal swallows that bs. Ethel wants to work with Jughead and create a sequel to the Milkman story. Pep comics editor doesn't want the attention. Ethel explains to Jughead (in an actually decent scene) that she wants to do the story because everyone is telling her how to think and feel about her parents murder and she wants to tell her story. They change the idea to a mailman. Pep editor knows that everyone will come for them, but decides it's time to fight the system.

Betty and Veronica break into the Pembrook and secretly live in the apartment. They have a sleepover with Kevin and Clay. Then, a day or so later, they have an intimate talk about how horrible their families are (which, true); promise not to become their parents; and talk about how happy Kevin and Clay are. Which turns into talking about experimenting with other women, which turns into them almost kissing. However, they're stopped by Mary Andrews who, long story short, knew something was wrong when she overheard the two girls talking earlier in the episode. When she finds out that the girls have been rejected by their mothers, Mary shames Hermione (off screen) and Alice into taking them back. Mary has strange, strange powers. Anyway, the girls seem to be considering a relationship with one another. To be clear, I don't have a problem with Beronica and wouldn't mind seeing Beronica, but I doubt this will last more then an episode or two, so it's just kind of...meh.

The boys basketball team is without a Captain as Julien is in a coma. Reggie is blamed for the accident by Clifford, who wants Reggie off the team. Archie is made captain of the team, but he just wants to write poetry. Cheryl wants to take care of her brother and not worry about cheerleading, but Clifford threatens to harm Cheryl. And it's this point we should remember that Clifford is the only parent in this show that has effectively and ruthlessly killed one his own children, so...

Anyway, long story short, Clifford seems to be close to getting rid of Reggie. But Archie, and the team, say if Reggie isn't made captain; they'll walk. Clifford mentions that he doesn't like being threatened (which, again, actually is concerning with this character); but Reggie is made Captain. Julien wakes up from his coma. Reggie wins the game. Clifford is pissed. Yadda, yadda, yadda, something about a storm coming.

And, again, we only have eight episodes after this.

[ourladyofmaplemurder]

Can I just say that I kind of love Penelope and Clifford as a villainous pair? Like, she's all sharp edges and flair. A sort of poisonous femme fatale she's always had going on and it's no less delicious in the 50s. I adore her. She is so viciously bananas.

But Clifford? I've always been a little sad, as a Cheryl Blossom scholar, that we didn't get more of him. I mean, it's a critical relationship to unpack considering this IS the daddy issues show. I mean, her father murdered her brother and then her mother murdered her father (with her likely watching) and we never really talk about that. Well, not overtly. Cheryl's behavior tells plenty of the story.

Anyway, I'm quite fond of Barclay Hope's performance. It's utterly entitled. He is never in a hurry. He's always a moment away from rolling his eyes. It's brilliantly old money-powerful.

You see, true power doesn't hurry. It doesn't need to chase you down. It waits for you to come to it because you will. You have to. Real power never wastes energy.

His Clifford has enjoyed a life of complete control; it shows in every scene he does. His manner is absolutely perfect.

Side note: This is the main difference between him and Hiram. Hiram was always so cagey. He's always a little desperate and that's part of what makes Clifford scarier.

clifford murdering jason in the og timeline, not caring about julian possibly dying in the 50s and now threatening cheryl physically and verbally.

Encounter

The love exploded because the marriage of the marriage and the digimon of the digimon were the same voice actor, Natsuki Hanae. I personally feel that the overlapping part is large, such as the two people's background and the encounter with the person who change life! I like both! !👐

Ranking the Top 5 Worst Riverdale characters

Not to be a negative-Nancy on here, but I thought I should include a list of characters I don’t like. This is just about who is a literal killer or dirtbag, this is absolute pointlessness as well. Either way… yeah. It’s my opinion, deal with it. 😂✌️

Honorable mentions:

Alice. She just bothers the shit outta me…

Ethel. The cringe.

Hal. Duh. I just dislike the next few more haha

5. Fangs

I feel so strongly about this character. He’s the only one on this list that isn’t a villain, more just… utterly pointless with WAY too much screentime. A nothing burger character. Why he lasted so long on this show and was promoted to a regular is beyond me. Nothing about him stood out, he was never important to the plot, he was irrelevant and never had any character growth/arc. He and Toni were genuinely horrible parents in S6, I hate what that whole arc did to Toni especially. Tangs is widely regarded as one of the worst ships for a reason. To make matters worse, that was the only reason he was around. And the Tangs/baby Anthony story just made most people dislike him, if they didn’t already. Not ashamed to admit that my love of Choni plays a huge part in my opinion here.

But really, what an empty shell of a character and a complete waste of screentime ugh. 😣

4. Nick St. Clair

He wasn’t a main character, but MAN. What a fucking dirtbag. Archie & Toni both getting their physical and metaphorical hits in against him was gorgeous and stunning and perfection.

3. Penelope Blossom

ABUSIVE. ABUSIVE. ABUSIVE. VILLAINOUS NASTY HAG OF A WENCH.

2. Clifford Blossom

Literally shot his son in the fucking head???

1. Hiram Lodge

The “big bad” multiple times for a 🙌 reason 🙌

So overused to the point where I visibly sighed in annoyance every time I saw his face…
