#aroace jughead

And OF COURSE, Happy Pride to my favorite character of all time: Jughead Jones. 😘🏳️‍🌈

Whether you feel he’s asexual, aromatic, or aroace (both), it’s valid. Having this kind of representation is so rare, and I hold it very close to my heart . He’s one of the few representations in this community, in all of media, so if I get emotional about it and sound like I hate Riverdale Jughead for being straight, it’s just because aroace Jughead means so much to me. I try my best just to show my appreciation for comic Jughead instead. 🫶

listen. I have never watched Riverdale and never will. but that doesn’t mean I’m not sO FUCKING PISSED at the polycule ending.

I’m not mad about the polyamory (I would like to stress this point for anyone who wants to come after me for this post), I’m mad that Jughead Jones, one of, like, the two aroace characters in media people have actually maybe heard of (the other being Yelena Belova) is part of this romantic, sexual relationship.

he’s ace!!!

he’s aro!!!

and it fucking stings that the writers thought it was okay to erase that aroace rep when there’s next to none for us to begin with.

fuck your amatonormativity and fuck your queer erasure. we aspecs deserve better.

This means so much to me.

Still embittered by the fact that, not only did the writers of Riverdale erase Jughead's Asexuality and Aromanticism... They also made him into a sexualized relationship with Betty, and later included them in a four-person-Polycule with Archie and Veronica.

The complete opposite of him being the very few canonical AroAce characters. They couldn't even have at least made him Asexual but Heteroromantic.

Every time I think about it, I feel like angrily breaking something, and I am always a stoic guy that doesn't emote much. This Aspec erasure is one of the few things that angers me, as an Asexual man.

it’s so painfully hard to get actually good aroace representation in media, because those characters, whether it be by the writers or the fandom, always get their identity erased.

jughead is a prime example of that. we could have had such an important character to represent us, but noooo

wednesday could have been perfect as aroace (especially with how she said she’d pity any man who fell in love with her in the old movies), but that would be too much too ask for

and i’ve seen too many fans asking for yelena belova and kate bishop to be made into a couple for my taste. THATS LITERALLY HER CANON SEXUALITY IN THE COMICS

SIGH i want to talk about archie comics to people so bad and i just like wanna see cool fan art but ALMOST MORE THAN HALF THE TAGS ARE RIVERDALE LIKE??? GHR I just wanna talk about silly little shenanigans 💔

[ihateliterature]

Just saw someone saying that the main 4 in Riverdale getting in a polycule is the best ending that could have happened and when someone pointed out that Jughead is aroace and romance repulsed they got super butthurt bc "it was not cannon in the original comics" and "it was not canon in the show"

That's what I say, before following any alloallo person in fandom and listening to their opinions the first thing you need to look for is if they are normal about aspecs. Most are not

I can't even count the times when I see a queer person in fandom, usually so up in arms about representation, happily erasing aspec characters' sexuality

[jugheads-choni]

Reminder that Cole Sprouse originally pushed for Jughead to be AroAce in Riverdale. We really could’ve had it all. 😭

RAS, you’ll never see those pearly gates…

you ever have a hyperfixation or interest that PHYSICALLY HURTS to consume content of? Like whenever you venture into it’s tag on tumblr you come out tired and exhausted and feeling like you’ve been locked in an iron maiden. Like it twists your stomach in all possible positions bc it’s so overwhelming. Bc I do. The hyperfix is Jughead Jones from the Archie Comics.
