What are the objections on Cheryl's hair? Keeping it to a kind of 50s kitsch?

Noted: Jughead's bowling bag.

Every time I see this gifset come up, or people discuss the epilogue they always get one fundamental fact wrong - The three women are NOT all in the 1970s. The Epilogue is there to showcase who they went on to be after high school. One of the plans for S7 was to bring them through the decades with each episode (because the comics changed as time passed). But, it was too expensive so the Epilogue is an homage to that idea.

Fashion did not change as quickly as it does today. Also, "staples" as we know them today, weren't really a thing either. But, the reason why the outfits look very similar is that there are tendrils woven throughout because certain patterns/colors will always be fashionable. But, if you look at the designs of the blouses you'll see that Cheryl's are flowers, Betty is in paisley, and Veronica has a geometric pattern. All are wearing their "signature color" too.

Cheryl and Toni:

Though Cheryl is second in the gifset, she and Toni are shown in the 1960s. Anywhere from '67-69. Bell bottoms have a varied history but they began in the 60s with it's popularity among the flower power and free love crowds. Cheryl's bell sleeves are indicative of this too. You saw a lot of them within Mod fashions which is also reflected in her eye makeup. Lastly, the teased crown and straight locks of her hairstyle was pretty much gone in the 70s.

As for Toni jumpsuits were incredibly popular in the late 60s. Jumpsuits were definitely a staple in fashion throughout the mid to late 20th century. You can't see her waistline but given how the fabric of the blue of her top is the same as her pants makes me believe she was in one. Jumpsuits in the 60s had very wide legs compared to a more sleek and slimmer fit of the 1970s. The later decade also used a lot of details like pockets, belts, and pleating compared to the earlier decade using contrasting fabric and patterns in their overall design.

The couple lived in Oakland Hills which is outside of San Francisco and where the "Flower Power" movement began (Berkeley, CA).

Betty:

Yes, Betty is definitely in the 70s. The paisley, the feathered "Farrah" hair, the Gloria Steinem aviator glasses, this all fits. I mean, Betty was positioned as being Gloria Steinem in the epilogue. I would say the pink is a bit fantastical as the 70s had a lot of earth tones and metallics (Disco) for color palettes. The colors of the 70s were more jewel toned. The bright psychedelic colors of the 60s wouldn't make a full resurgence until the 80s. But, Pink has always been Betty's "Color". I would place the clip of Betty in 1977.

Veronica:

Like how the early '60s are very close to the late 1950s in fashion, so was the 1970s/80s cusp. The "power suits" we associate with the 80s and Neon didn't come until halfway through the decade. The affluence of the 80s didn't start until Regan's second term. The United States had a recession in the late 70s that we were still recovering from in the early 80s. Similar to identifying Cheryl in the 1960s, it's all in the details for Veronica. The shoulders of her blouse are puffed, the statement buttons of her vest, her cravat is smaller, and the peak-a-boo slit of her skirt. (Stranger Things does this very well when dressing the students in the first season. Many of them are wearing clothes from the late 70s because of their economic status.) Veronica's look was very much inspired by Nolan Miller (He was Hollywood costume royalty. He is most known for Dynasty but collaborated on many projects. I can totally see Veronica calling him an 'old family friend' lol).

I am not surprised the Gossip Girl Reboot got cancelled because it was boring and I couldn’t finish season 1. I think the creators thought having that property would be enough for the show to be successful and focused all of their energy on those outfits and soundtracks but did nothing for the show to actually work. My opinion on why the reboot failed to impact audiences that no one asked for:

It’s not like the original GG was a writing masterpiece but it came out at the right time. In 2007, while there were a lot of successful shows, a lot of the teen shows like The OC, One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls etc were tame in comparation to the format GG was presenting. Aside from the UK (Skins), it was unusual for American TV to exploit sex and drugs on teens the way Gossip Girl did. They turned the negative reviews into promotional banners. That was A+ marketing. They wanted to be problematic. That was their selling point. So in theory, the idea of a group of wealthy teens from NYC doing all sort of awful stuff was appealing. The show wasn’t trying to be apologetic. Yeah, some issues were too much not just Chuck but so many other things but the point stands with the show not wanting to fix it. This with a really good fashion sense — GG really pushed the boundaries on fashion during late 2000’s. It was meant to be a hit ahead of its time. The problem with the reboot is that is not new or original. Euphoria already exists. Teens doing alcohol and sleeping around has been in media for a while and people crave something new. If they wanted to stand out they need so much more than just a known intellectual property but most importantly create characters with personality and sadly, that wasn’t the case.

The characters for the reboot lack distinctive personalities and it was difficult to buy why they were even friends. Like, the group on the OG worked because there was an established dynamic but every character in the new one felt like a parody. The initial conflict was them being mad Julien had a sister. For the OG, the initial conflict worked because at first Serena presented herself as a mystery – as the IT girl that ran away and no one knew why. That increased her mysterious persona and her popularity. She ran away because she slept with Nate (Blair’s boyfriend) and while she was away Blair managed to establish herself as the IT girl. That made the rivalry between Blair and Serena more believable and so Serena's dynamic with Nate. Blair had reasons to feel insecure over Serena because she had the influence and wealth to out power her. They tried to recreate that with Zoya and Julien but failed miserably.

I think every character in the OG group had a very established dynamic and propose. Serena was the mysterious girl that created the rivalry with Blair and also presented herself as a bridge outside of the Upper East Side because of her relationship with Dan. Blair was the "mean girl" — the one ready to create chaos if she feels like she is being displaced from her status. Julien never gave me that energy. Neither did Audrey. None of them were able to go the lengths Blair would go for a little drama. The closest thing to Blair they had was Monet and they didn’t give her enough to shine but that’s also the thing. Teen media keeps trying to recreate their very own version of Blair Waldorf but fails everytime. Every teen show after GG now has their sophisticated "mean girl" that is able to quote books and movies (aka Veronica Lodge or Cheryl Blossom) and it fails every single time. Blair worked because of what Leighton Meester brought to the table but also because Blair was actually really mean and unapologetic about it. She wasn't meant to be taken as a parody with some mean one liners. Her only characteristic wasn’t just being mean, it had realistic layers. And even when I feel she became a bit of a parody the later seasons because the show not longer needed her to be mean, I think she remained charming mostly because of Meester.

Serena worked on early seasons then she became unnecessary and boring. Her character only worked because of Blake Lively's charisma which I feel a lot of the new ones lacked. Then there was Nate. He was like, just there. He wasn’t that problematic until that season they made him date a minor for zero reason. I would assume GGRBs version of Nate was Obie (?) and that was such a boring character. Now, Dan was a good character until they needed to use him as a plot twist because they didn't know who GG was and needed a finale. Dan was the one that was inside the elite but hated it and brought interesting points about their privilege and had not problem in checking them once in a while because he was like the impartial one. Again, they tried to make Zoya the one that wasn’t in their circle but her character was just boring, the actress did good with the material.

And Chuck, he was introduced as a rapist from the get go and didn’t deserve to get as far as it got or even a "redemption". Blair deserved better and I will never go down with the Chuck and Blair train. Blair coming back to him on season 6 after learning her own value and worth outside of Chuck's shadow and toxicity only to make her regret it was character assassination. Chuck should’ve died on Season 4. Now, here's the thing. It was clear Max was supposed to be their unproblematic version of Chuck and it's a shame because Thomas Doherty was giving THE perfomance. I wish him luck in his career. Also, Savannah Smith as Monet did good when given good dialogue and stuff to deliver.

Jenny was an interesting character. It gave the show the outside drama it needed. Georgina was an amazing villain. Even Rufus and Lily served. GGRB had potential but didn't give anything interesting. OG GG embraced being problematic and the reboot tried too hard to be "woke". There's nothing woke about a group of wealthy kids (and not just any money but generational wealth for some of them) that don't need to worry about paying the bills. Maybe if they didn't take themselves so seriously it would've worked a lot better. They should've allowed Monet to be the mean girl she was clearly destined to be. Luna also deserved her own plot not just a sidekick.

Lastly, their biggest problem: GG being the teachers. The teachers story line made me cringe. It was so weird and unrealistic. The thing about GG is that it could be anyone. It was the anonymity that made it fun. GGRB fumble by giving GG a face and an underwhelming one too. In conclusion, while I loved the diversity of the new cast, none of them had the charisma on screen except for one or two on occasions and charisma is what carried the original series until a season 6.

MADELAINE PETSCH at the Valentino Spring 2023 Collection show at Paris Fashion Week on October 2nd 2022 wearing VALENTINO

I think the hot pink color is slowly fading into the background at Valentino. It’s had a good run, but it’s time to start moving on. I thought the hot pink color looked great on Madelaine, and I loved that she incorporated the color into her makeup. However, her outfit looks very disheveled. The coat really needed to be steamed, and just looks so wrinkly. I do like the shorts and bra top paired with the giant coat. I wish she chose shoes that matched the look, instead of wearing black heels.

[ourladyofmaplemurder]

I used to joke that the only way Toni made sense in Season 4 was if she was just really stoned the whole time. So, I wrote a ficlet about it. Here you go.

Toni smokes a joint with Nana and they talk about stuff. <3

***

Toni sat in the greenhouse and took another long drag on her joint. She seemed to be smoking more and more often and something about that worried her, but not nearly as much as...other things.

Cheryl had Jason's corpse in the basement.

She was talking to him, reading him the newspaper, and asking him for fashion advice.

"You've never met Jason, have you?"

Toni hit the joint again. Smoking was the least of her worries and besides, anyone would need the break.

The image of Cheryl sewing up her dead brother's belly wouldn't disappear no matter how high Toni was. The smell wouldn't leave her nose, not of the corpse, nor the rat Cheryl had killed, and asked her to dispose of.

They'd laid together in bed that night and Cheryl had kissed her so tenderly.

"Now you know everything. You have all of me, TT."

And wasn't that what Toni wanted? Wasn't that what she'd asked for? She loved Cheryl Blossom and loving her meant...accepting her as she was, right? Was love acceptance or was it protest? What was the 'right thing' to do?

Toni drew her knees into her chest and thought she should cry, but tears just wouldn't come. She considered calling Fangs or Sweet Pea, but what would she even say?

"My girlfriend has lost her mind and has her dead brother in the basement. And oh, yeah, I've lost it too because it's been here for a week and I haven't said a damn word to anyone about it." Toni snapped at the air.

She knew she couldn't tell anyone. Any sane person's response to this would be to have Cheryl committed and Jason returned to his coffin. That, of course, made sense. That was the 'right' thing to do.

Toni took a shuddering breath and hit the joint again. She watched the smoke dissipate into the air.

Right or not, Cheryl would never forgive her. Never. She was already paranoid Toni wasn't on board, which was fair. Who would be?

There was a sound at the door to the greeenhouse. Creaking.

"Antionette?"

"Nana?"

Nana Rose wheeled herself over to the spot Toni was hiding in. Toni didn't have the where withal to even hide the fact that she was smoking.

"You smell of marijuana." Nana said coolly.

"Sorry." Toni sighed.

"You should be." Nana said in that snippy voice of hers, "You know I have rheumatoid."

Toni snorted and offered Nana the joint.

"Thank you, child."

Nana Rose hit the joint and exhaled without a cough. Toni nodded in respect, desperately trying to find the humor in all this. She knew it was there, but the laughter just wouldn't come. She felt dead. That was almost funny.

"You seem troubled." Nana said.

Toni nodded.

"Is this regarding my granddaughter?"

Toni nodded again.

"Well, surely you can work things out."

Toni nodded a third time. Finally, she spoke.

"I hope so."

Nana took another hit and passed the joint back to Toni.

"Take heart. Cheryl loves you." She said.

"I know. I love her too. I just...Nana, I worry about her. Fuck, I worry about myself. Sorry for swearing." Toni said.

Nana waved her off.

"Life doesn't get any easier when you worry about it." She said.

"No, I guess not. I just don't know what to do." Toni whispered.

Nana Rose was an odd woman with an odd sensibility about life. She didn't know the ins and outs of whatever was bothering her granddaughter's little lover, but she'd seen many things in her time. She was also appreciative of the joint. So, she, in her half-blind way, offered the only advice she thought would help.

"If you love her, then keep her close. Hard times come and go, but love is more than enough to see you through it." Nana said.

Toni wanted to believe her. She didn't, but she figured if she smoked a little more, she might.

Later that night...

Cheryl and Toni laid in bed, snuggled up. Cheryl pulled back briefly, nose wrinkled.

"You smell like a skunk."

"It's weed, Cher."

"Oh. Duh." Cheryl said, shaking off her obvious misunderstanding.

Her mind had been so fuzzy lately. Of course the smell was weed. Where would Toni have even encountered a skunk? That made no sense. Really, Cheryl knew she hadn't been making much sense lately, but before she could start spiraling about it, Toni took her hand and kissed it idly. Then she continued.

"Yeah, I was smoking in the greenhouse and Nana hustled a few puffs out of me."

"What?"

"For her rheumatoid." Toni said with a slight affect.

"You smoked weed with my Nana?"

"She snuck up on me and what was I going to say? No?" Toni chuckled.

Cheryl laughed a little too.

"That's so crazy."

It wasn't. Not compared to...other things.

"Yeah." Toni sighed.

"That explains why she asked me for a tin of biscuits earlier." Cheryl remembered.

And something about the image of Nana munching on 'biscuits' made Toni laugh, finally, and once she started, she couldn't stop.

Toni was certain that this was what it felt like to go insane...and yet, when she looked over to Cheryl, who was regarding her with a mixture of gentle concern and amusement, Toni just wanted to kiss her.

"I love you, Cheryl Blossom."

"I love you too, TT."

19 21 24 & 30 :-)

Thank you!! 🧡

19. describe your fashion sense. do you "dress gayly"?

I think that I do, not necessarily in classic stereotypical ways but I like to think that if a queer person saw me they would Know. My style fluctuates between 60s/70s femme and an english literature professor who's probably in the closet. Victorian romantic has been making a more frequent appearance in the collection of vibes also. We don't need to talk about how I dressed when I first came out.

21. are you generally "out" to people?

Yes I came out to my parents when I was 14 and since then I've just sort of been out. I never formally came out to my extended family, but I've talked about girlfriends and things like that and they've always been very supportive. And then generally when I meet new people and stuff I'm fairly forward with it, my friend often introduces me as her lesbian friend to people she knows (I do not mind her doing this, she would absolutely stop if I said I didn't like it. I think it's funny and it's got me laid before.)

24. thoughts on marriage?

Neutral? I don't really know. I think probably yes but in a very vague way of the idea of being married one day seems nice and I'm also not opposed to the idea of a wedding.

30. who's your favorite sapphic character?

Cheryl Blossom 🍒

asks

[actualriverdaleplots]

It’s homecoming week at Riverdale High and everyone is getting ready for the big game. Archie is nervous because he needs to be there as the quarterback but he has a big math test the day before and he’s close to being put on academic probation and pulled from the team.

Meanwhile, Kevin runs into Cheryl at the mall as she’s picking out her homecoming dress. She comes out of the changing room in an bright scarlet dress and says “it’s serving glamour, is it not?” Instead of agreeing, Kevin makes a face and says “I like it, but it’s sort of giving me 2007 Jessica Simpson?” And Cheryl throws the hanger at him.

The next day Kevin and the rest of the Riverdale crew are sitting in the student lounge and Kevin mentions that he’s getting tested for STDs later. The show has an extended segment where it emphasizes how sex positive it is and serves as an in-episode PSA for safe sex in the homosexual community.

Cutting to the next scene, we see Kevin joyfully opening the results of his STD panel in the student lounge. His face falls as he reads that he’s tested positive for glamydia, an STD that has going around the homosexual community in Riverdale. There’s a surprisingly poignant scene between Kevin and his father where Kevin tells him the news, and Sheriff Keller embraces him and tells him that he’ll support him no matter what.

Just as Kevin comes to terms with his condition, it’s revealed that Cheryl, hearing that Kevin was going to be tested, snuck into the lab and contaminated his sample with glamydia positive blood in the middle of the night. Betty stumbles across her on the security footage while she’s investigating a case involving the falsification of records in medical charts at the clinic and tells Kevin what Cheryl did.

Kevin confronts Cheryl and Cheryl tells him that got his just desserts, and that he should’ve known better than to say that her her dress was anything but cutting edge fashion when she was wearing a favored Blossom semi formal look and bringing the only modicum of class that anyone at Riverdale high would have the pleasure to see that year. She storms out, heels clicking on the floors, perfectly vindicated as Kevin stares at her agape.

Archie, having spent the last 3 days being patiently tutored by Ethel, just barely passes his math test and leads the Bulldogs to victory on the field. The gang all go out for milkshakes at Pop’s to celebrate.

and it was fated

As a witch, getting entangled with a vampire is one of the greatest sins Cheryl could've ever committed.

Countdown to Halloween - 4 Days Until Halloween!

pairing: cheryl blossom/mr. honey

READ ON AO3

Cheryl is hardly one to worry about consequences, not when the Blossom legacy as one of the founding families of Riverdale has guaranteed that very little blame will ever fall onto her shoulders. Of course, if her family were to ever learn that she let a lesser being touch her, let alone mark her, irrevocably tying her lifeline to his, she would be banished without a second thought. The Blossoms cherish a bloodline pure to foster pure magic, and getting entangled with any creature of the night, much less a vampire - beings whose entire existence is a stain on the balance of nature that fuels their magic - is one of the worst sins she could commit.

But Cheryl hadn't known that Holden Honey was a vampire of such power and stature when she'd snuck into a night club in Greendale over the summer, and she certainly hadn't known that he would be at Riverdale Academy when she let him drag her into the parking lot and fuck her in the back seat of her vintage Chevy Impala with the top down.

It wasn't until the morning after that she noticed the marks from his fangs marring the perfect, pale skin of her throat, its dark coloring mocking her in her vanity mirror. Because those weren't the marks of a vampire who'd simply fed on her.

Those were the marks of a vampire who'd mated her.

The very same vampire who stood at a podium in the academy amphitheater a month later, introducing himself as their new headmaster. He found her gaze quickly among the crowd, never letting his facade falter even as the bond between them throbbed, and Cheryl felt the weight of her consequences for perhaps the first time ever when he'd summoned her to his office at the end of the day.

She's been to his office every day since, and if not for the enchantment he'd used her magic to cast over the threshold, the entire academy would smell the sweet musk of sex lingering in the air and hear her wanton cries during their lunch hour or after the end of the school day, like the cries she's letting out now as she writhes atop the leather chaise opposite of his desk.

"A-ahh, ah! Ah!"

Cheryl's mewls climb another octave as another ripple of vibrations buzzes relentlessly over her aching clit, her fingers tugging helplessly at her own hair as she rides the edge of yet another orgasm thanks to the charmed toy nestled against her cunt. When Cheryl felt that Holden Honey had run out of ways to further her humiliation at his hand, he'd used her own magic to charm her beloved spider brooch to do his bidding, fashioning it into a makeshift toy to tease and torture her without him having to lift a finger. All the while, it was spelled to never let her tip over the edge, and to latch on for hours if she ever dared to attempt to take it off without his permission.

All blood tasted sweeter when it was thick with arousal, and it turns out the blood of an aroused mate on the precipice of ecstasy was the sweetest of all.

Cheryl feels her eyes well with tears as she pants through the peak of the vibrations, then presses her hands over her face as it starts to ebb once more, her body squirming as the brooch settles into a hum low enough to let her catch her breath.

One of the cruelest parts? She can feel Honey's own arousal through their bond, yet his infuriating abundance of discipline means that he can bring her to the edge again and again and again before deciding to put her out of her misery.

"Thank you, Miss Appleyard. That will be all," Honey says, waiting for her to echo the sentiment before finally ending his call. He loosens his tie as he stands and begins unbuttoning his shirt as he walks around his desk, his face as nonchalant as usual but his eyes glinting hungrily as they roam over Cheryl's naked body sprawled across the chaise. Her skin is flushed, her nipples hard and aching and her thighs wet with her own arousal, pussy fluttering under the spider brooch as the vibrations steadily grow yet again.

By the time he's fully stripped, Cheryl is a writhing, babbling mess, tears wetting her face the brooch buzzes in relentless waves.

Honey snaps his fingers, bringing the brooch's teasing to a halt, and he sets it aside before he's climbing between her legs and brushing her wild hair from her neck, licking his lips. "I don't know about you, Miss Blossom," he starts, guiding his cock into her hot, dripping pussy as his hand cups the back of her neck, leaning in to graze his lips over her throat, "but all that work has left me famished."

Before she can even blink, his fangs pierce her skin, sinking into her as he starts grinding their hips together, and the shot of his venom to her bloodstream has her keening out at the white-hot pleasure that bursts through her. No matter how many times he feeds while fucking her, Cheryl is always overwhelmed with the sudden euphoria that floods her veins, the pleasure so acute that it's nearly painful as it smothers her senses.

He bites down harder, sucking her maple-sweet blood into his mouth and forcing her further into the height of her ecstasy as her cries climb in octave and her eyes nearly roll back. He's fucking her faster and harder, and the closest he ever comes to losing his composure is when his own orgasm is about to hit, a low growl rumbling through his chest and his hips stuttering right before he begins to spurt inside of her.

She comes again as she feels his warm, thick cum filling her, clinging onto his broad shoulders as the force of the pleasure crashes over her, and all the while, he keeps feeding on her blood, keeps coming inside of her until she can feel his cum beginning to drip out even with his cock still lodged deep inside. As a vampire, it takes him no time at all to be able to come again and again and sometimes their orgasms simply blur together, their bond aching and throbbing between them as his peak continues to push her into her own.

When he finally unlatches from her neck, lifting himself and licking some of her blood from his lips, he never once falters in his thrusts, never once looks as wanton as she feels, and it only heightens her helplessness and humiliation as she unravels at his hand.

"I had my doubts about choosing you, Miss Blossom," he muses, brushing his thumb over the marks from his very first bite as his lips curl in the hint of a smirk, "but you're proof that vampires can be rightfully restored to power, so long as they have the right witch bound to their will."

* BACKGROUND ...

born & raised in a small town in michigan. shanley's childhood was as 'normal' as you could imagine. one straight out of a disney film with a loving mother and father and two sisters (older & younger) who protected her. like your typical middle child, shanley did everything she could to stand out, putting on performances with her sisters and making sure to be the director, the producer & the lead. she refused to be in anyone's shadow - making sure to leave an impression on everyone in every room she walked in. in school, shanley never cared about her studies - doing her best to pass her classes (but girly is smart af,, think jess mariano from gilmore girls but *spoiler* actually graduates) and keep her in the extracurricular activities - volleyball & theater. she loved the attention & made it her goal to be the lead in almost every play , which always happened. loud & confident, she was the girl who made sure everyone around her was comfortable and not left out. definitely the one to call out the bully and protect the bullied. she was never scared of anything or anyone. it might be because of her parents who always reminded her to reach for the stars, nothing was impossible & if she fell, she would always have them to catch her. after high school, shanley knew school was not an option. only attending community college to have a back up plan and to please her parents. she received her associates degree in business management while taking pilates classes and completing a training program to become certified. soon after, winter house was proposed to the group & with this new found fame, shanley took it as an opportunity to chase her dreams. she moved to los angeles where she does press for the show & instruct classes three times a week.
