riverdale thoughts s1e9

- in the interest of efficiency i’m going to keep a jughead counter running so i can update that instead of having a dozen different lines all like OMG I LOVE JUGHEAD!!! 

- NOOOO I WAS LITERALLY JUST SAYING LAST NIGHT THAT NO ONE WOULD EVER DRINK MAPLE SYRUP OUT OF A GLASS OFC THE BLOSSOMS WOULD PROVE ME WRONG 

- so does mrs cooper know abt bughead then bc jughead very much just has his hand Resting On Betty’s Leg & yet she’s not mentioning it at all  

- betty: “and you think that [writing an expose on the blossom family] will bring polly home?” mrs cooper: “maybe, maybe not. but it will make me feel better :)” okay but literally queen. hashtag girlboss 

- who dipped just the very tips of veronica’s collar into fake gems and can i sue them. bedazzle that all the way up honey it looks tacky rn 

- cheryl and veronica should have a contest abt who can say things weirdest but i’m not judging that or i’ll die

- archie god bless your 2 braincells you are so awkward and confused all the time and i do love that abt you 

- what is cheryl’s game here. i’ve learned that all blossoms MUST have red hair so are they going to try and rope archie in a la marriage? bc i think he’s disqualified on accounts of being largely a good person 

- veronica: “not after...” kevin: “uh oh. do we need to sit down?” he’s so fucking funny i adore him 

- OH MY GOD they totally are trying to snag archie!!!! what the fuck dude!!!!!

- this is so fucked up you get born with red hair ONE TIME and suddenly everyone is looking to make you the next patriarch of a maple syrup mogul

-  mrs blossom literally just compared him to jason UGH give a man some peace!! he’s not your son v2.0!!!! 

- also i love how everyone in this town is like Fuck the blossoms! we hate them!!!! down with blossom supremacy!! except that the blossoms have all the money so then they’re always just like Want me to pull some strings for you :) & everyone else is like .............well i won’t say NO

- stupid thing to complain abt on ep9 i know, but why is the title screen always like 10 minutes in like by the point if i don’t know what show i’m watching, that’s on me 

- does veronica know cheryl also calls her father daddy? (as in cheryl’s father, no veronica’s.) i feel like she should hurry up and trademark that already 

- on one hand i want to be like WHY ARE THE BLOSSOMS (AND EXTENDED FAMILY) SO WEIRD!!!! WHO MAKES SURE EVERYONE HAS WINTER COATS IN THE EXACT SAME SHADE OF RED!!!! but on the other hand i must admit they’re pulling it off tho 

- wait THAT’S what maple trees look like? i thought the trunks would be thicker 

- ethel and betty swapping stories of parental upheaval while mrs lodge just looks at her plate like 👁👄👁 

- veronica: “look, being ruined sucks” ok veronica i think ethel isn’t nearly as well off as you are!!! yeah you lost your mansion and yachts but you still have a swanky apartment so ummm maybe be quiet 

- ooohhh the cinnamon topography of putting archie in a red shirt that’s just barely not the same shade as everyone else’s red that’s brilliant 

- STOP i love cheryl so much. archie’s going off defending her and she just quietly goes “also 4.0″ so he’ll add “ALSO she has a 4.0 grade average” 

- awww oh no mrs lodge :( not enjoying the consequences of your own actions and choices? :(

- SEE ARCHIE WHAT DID I TELL YOU BABY!!!! THEY’RE GROOMING YOU, YOU GOTTA RUN!!!!

- they are handing you Blossom’s Signature Red™ Flags archie how can you not see it!!! “we won’t take no for an answer” is not a joke here!!!!

- “enough about polly! ... she’s the one who betrayed us, not the other way around!” um akshually i think you betrayed her first by sending her to the nun cult and then refusing to let her stay unless she put the baby up for adoption :^) 

- specifically mrs cooper^ #bettydidnothingwrong 

- I’M PUTTING THIS ON THE COUNTER TOO SO I’LL KEEP IT BRIEF BUT FINALLY!! GOD!!! 12 FULL MINUTES WITHOUT A SINGLE JUGHEAD SIGHTING IS TOO LONG 

- i swore i wouldn’t include any photos bc tumblr is insane abt it but LOOK AT HIS FACE WHEN CHERYL CALLS HIM “particularly dilfy” HE’S SO CONFUSED AND OVER IT 

- tfw u just broke up with ur gf bc she put you in the middle of an arms war & now the teen daughter of ur longtime rival & competitor flirts with u 

- i take it back it is NOT endearing how dense archie is. you really think they’re just helping you get into the music program out of the goodness of their hearts? they’re BLOSSOMS 

- oh fuck mr cooper deleted alice’s account for their newspaper??? now that’s harsh 

- OH FUCK STONE THE PLACE!!!!!! YOU GO ALICE!!!!!!

- it takes a bold person to have a private chat with someone when halfway thru a fitting i’ll give archie that much 

- WAIT NO HE’S SACRIFICING THE MUSIC PROGRAM FOR HIS DAD HE’S REALLY VERY GOOD SOMETIMES 😭 IDC THAT MR BLOSSOM IS USING TO GROOM HIM MORE (like, fuck off tho @ mr blossom) THAT’S SO SO SWEET 

- (gets kissed after a whole speech that made it very clear she was about to kiss him) archie: “what are you doing?” what do you THINK she’s doing archie oh my god 

- oh no relationship i knew wasn’t going to last more than 2 episodes didn’t last more than 2 episodes i am simply crushed :/ 

- god i really do love archie’s dad i think he might seriously be the best person ever to exist. cheryl was wrong he’s not a dilf, he’s a diltbfw (dad i’d like to be friends with) 

- total jughead counter: 10

- addendum to the above: i simply must mention in detail how INSANELY cute it is that jughead refuses to sit normally on anything. we love a neurodivergent king!!! also if he doesn’t stop standing approx. 4 inches away from betty whenever possible AND looking at her lips like 50 times a minute, i’m going to lose it. why is he so smitten 😭😭

- addendum the second: oh and now he’s being her personal bodyguard when she approaches cheryl???? i love him so much you don’t understand 

addendum the third: look i can’t help it okay i have THOUGHTS abt JUGHEAD is that so wrong? anyway please tell me why he didn’t look away from betty for WAY too long even though he’s supposed to be intimidating cheryl JK I KNOW WHY it’s bc he’s in love 😌

- in conclusion: decent episode, but suffered from lack of jughead scenes. single digits is simply not enough to satisfy me or any sensible viewer. better luck next time xx
