#bughead season 1

[jugheadvarchoni]

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.

I think I’m going to make the silliest decision of my life and….rewatch….Riverdale….. I have not TOUCHED this show since 2020. And I promised myself I would never go back, but alas….

Season 1 Bughead or Season 4 Bughead (until 4x16)

Hi thanks for the ask, love! Andddd….AH THIS IS SO HARD bc both seasons are simply IMPECCABLE (up until 4x16 of course)!

But I think I have to choose Season 1 Bughead in the end, bc of how discovering the ship and falling in love with them really helped me through a dark time! plus they’re just…

SO FUCKING CUTE AND PRECIOUS!!! And have no idea the horrors ahead of them. God I love them. Season 1 riverdale was so perfect

make me choose

BEING A LIST OF THE THIRTEEN GREATEST RIVERDALE LINES, ON THE OCCASION OF THAT SHOW'S TERMINATION

As our much loved/hated show comes to an end, I feel compelled to record, for posterity, the greatest thirteen pieces of dialogue to spring from the pens of RAS and his henchmen. It was, of course, originally a top ten list, but I simply could not exclude a few of these treasures. Without further ado: 

13. 

“I dropped out in the 4th grade, to sell drugs, to support my nana.” 

“That means you haven't known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football.” 

Spoken by: an inmate of Leopold and Loeb Juvenile Detention Center, and Archie Andrews. 

In: 3 x 2 

Yeah, okay, this one had to be on the list. It’s funny, I’ll admit. It’s a great example of the overwrought semi-sincere melodrama that helped make this show so special. It’s low on the list largely because The Normies got their hands on it, so every time I hear someone make a reference I get all “do not cite the deep magic to me, witch.” 

12. 

“No! No! What are we supposed to do now? I’m horny as heck!”

Spoken by: Archie Andrews 

In: 7 x 16

Season 7 is undeniably dreadful, and yet there are diamonds in the rough. The occasion is the failure of a projector, just as Archie and Reggie prepare to watch a pornographic film. The utter desperation with which KJ Apa delivers this line is exquisite. One is made to feel they are witnessing a genuine tragedy. 

11. 

“Tonight, they’re making an exception and debuting a cover of the song my parents claim they were listening to the night Jason and I were conceived.” 

Spoken by: Cheryl Blossom. 

In: 1 x 1 

Really a fantastic line. A wonderful encapsulation of the casual absurdity of Cheryl’s character, and a foretaste of the lunacy we would plumb in later episodes and seasons. 

10. 

“In case you haven’t noticed, I’m weird. I’m a weirdo. I don’t fit in and I don’t want to fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That’s weird.” 

Spoken by: Jughead Jones

In: 1 x 10

A genuine classic. “High school football” before “high school football.” One is never entirely sure just how sincere the line is meant to be, both on a meta-level and in-universe. A perfect illumination of Jughead’s pretentiousness. It is made all the better by the occasional cuts to Lili Reinhard’s agonized face. 

9. 

“At the last dance, multiple students were murdered.” 

Spoken by: Principal Holden Honey. 

In: 4 x 2

Delivered as an explanation to Toni and Cheryl, as to why there would be no school dance this year. Principal Honey is in fact supremely rational in the cancellation of this dance. This being Riverdale, he is of course treated as an unreasonable tyrant. 

8. 

“Bro, I know all the secrets of this universe.” 

Spoken by: Archie Andrews (evil version)

In: 6 x 5 

Spoken as evil Archie reveals his evil plan to keep the parallel universes apart. KJ Apa’s delivery once again makes this line. He is comically sinister. Strangely, he sells it. 

7. 

“A Vughead kiss, right now, in the present might be precisely what it takes to save a future Bughead from imploding.” 

Spoken by: Jughead Jones. 

In: 2 x 14

One of those lines that both makes me laugh and makes me genuinely angry. This was a fairly early season, and this may have actually been the first line to get me asking, ‘did they genuinely write and deliver that?’ Extra points for use of the atrocious ‘Vughead’ portmanteau ship name rather than ‘Jeronica.’ 

6. 

“I’m the ultimate wild card. I am the daughter of The Black Hood. The nightmare from next door. I’m training with the FBI and I’m coming for you, you psycho bitch.” 

Spoken by: Betty Cooper

In: 4 x 14 

Just delicious. Another one of those lines that leaves you somewhat unsure whether or not the writers understood how genuinely hysterical it was. “The Nightmare from Next Door” sounds like an announcer hyping up a wrestler. Spoken with a raw sincerity by Lili Reinhart. Also points for the heavy homoeroticism between Betty and Donna. 

5. 

“For I am Cheryl Blossom, Queen of the Bees.” 

Spoken by: Cheryl Blossom.

In: 5 x 16. 

This one really doesn’t require any elaboration. 

4. 

“Elijah ascended…and I will, too.” 

Spoken by: Edgar Evernever.

In: 4 x 5. 

Admittedly, this one is only spectacular with context. But in context—the context being that Chad Michael Murray delivers this line while dressed like Evel Knievel and standing in a cartoon rocket right out of a Warner Bros cartoon—it becomes utterly magnificent. 

3. 

“It’s not queer baiting, it’s saving the world.” 

Spoken by: Veronica Lodge. 

In: 6 x 22. 

It’s actually hard for me to decide whether this one is funnier with or without context. Without context it’s wonderful, but it possibly becomes even funnier when you know that the context is that Veronica needs to kiss Cheryl to transfer superpowers into her body so she can turn into a Scarlet Witch knock-off and stop a magic comet summoned by Sephiroth an English wizard who is also the Devil. 

2. 

“If there’s no wedding reception, it means the Gargoyle King has won.” 

Spoken by: Kevin Keller. 

In: 3 x 12.

One of my personal favorites. This is a perfect line because like #3, it requires no real elaboration. There is absolutely no context in which it isn’t hysterical. 

1 .

“Word of my exploits serving Nick his comeuppance has seeped into the demimonde of mobsters and molls my father used to associate with, so the five families are sending their youngest and brightest, their ‘princes,’ as it were to, well, come court the rare Mafia Princess who can belly up to the bar with the big boys.

Spoken by: Veronica Lodge. 

In: 2 x 20. 

This is, in my opinion, the all-timer. Every word is perfect. The rapid-fire alliteration. The use of the word ‘demimonde.’ The entirely unnecessary addition of ‘as it were.’ This is borderline Dr. Seuss. The fact that Camila Mendes delivered it without cracking a smile should have won her an Emmy. No. An Oscar. This line is Riverdale.

Do you wish barchie had dated at some point between seasons 1-4? Part of me wishes we got to see it but another part of me thinks that after the time jump was always the right time. I think the problem was bughead should have ended a lot sooner and varchie would end up together as default because Archie can’t be single because that made him a threat to bughead. The fact Archie or Betty being single was an immediate threat to bughead and varchie but Jughead and Veronica being single was never a threat to barchie was very telling.

No, I answered this semi-recently but I wouldn’t. I *would* have wanted more angst, pining, conversations, build up, friendship scenes etc. I really wish we had stuff like follow up from their kiss in Season 2. And maybe more sneaking around/illicit affairs in Season 4. But Barchie’s slowburn (even if neglected for entire seasons lol) is one of the main reasons I simply love them.

But I agree Bughead was the major thing that held them back pre-time jump. I always say Archie/Betty/Jughead were the real love triangle of the show as opposed to the classic one. I mean, Archie was 100% ready to throw his relationship with Veronica away for Betty in 4x18 but she was the one not ready (hadn’t processed she was falling out of love with Jughead yet). And if you want to go back even further, Veronica and Archie just kind of got together as default in the end of Season 1 but Archie still literally puts out feelers to Betty/suggests he thought it would be them first. Yikes.
