My new favorite headcanon that I don’t really believe is that Jughead is the one character in the Archie comics universe who’s aware that they’ve all existed in the exact same state since (at least) the 40s while time passes around them. And he’s so chill all the time because at this point he’s basically in the second act of a time loop story—he’s stopped trying to convince people or break the loop, and he’s stopped worrying about any and all consequences.

Jughead’s already so weird that nobody thinks twice when he tells them things about their time loop-ish situation, or acts oddly nonchalant about things that should warrant concern. They assume he’s just making dumb jokes or being lazy.

Jug doesn’t really mind the loop. There are worse ways to spend eternity than being a cool teen doing fun stuff with your friends forever. Getting to experience every new decade and its technological advancements without the drawback of aging. It’s a pretty sweet deal. But occasionally it is a little worrying that nobody else is ever able to understand the nature of their universe.

Overall though, Jug’s pretty fine with how things are. He doesn’t waste time worrying about the loop and it’s existential issues, he just keeps on living like always. Life is good. Why try to change it? He’s just going to do whatever makes him happy moment to moment. He’s going to hang out with his friends, and eat good food, and be as weird as he can possibly be. Forever. :)

Shoutout to Dilton’s weird impassioned declaration that he’d never let anything happen to Jughead before taking him to the fuckbunker, the bunker where people have sex,

I just got done watching "The Archies" on Netflix and loved it!!! 😀 They did a great job portraying the characters closer to the comics while also having it set in 1963/64 India and including Bollywood/musical numbers. All of them were just like how they were in the comics and even the 60s cartoon series than "Riverdale" ever had them. I did like "Riverdale" in the beginning till about season 3, but this movie is so much more how I wanted that show to be as it felt more like a teen movie/show from when I was a teen back in the late 90s/early 2000s (which is when my favorite version of their spinoffs "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" show/TV movie and the "Josie and the Pussycats" movie came out). Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Ethel, Dilton/Kevin (as he was a mashup of the two), Moose, Midge, Cheryl, Pop Tate, Hotdog, and all the parents were there. It was a cute movie and they did leave it open to do more. Very happy with how this turned out.

ETA: Also I loved this versions takes on Betty (as I always related to comic Betty), Jughead, and Reggie and reminded me how I originally thought as a kid reading the comics that Betty should be with one of them instead of Archie and this movie stuck with that. LOL

Y/N hadn't been trying to seduce Archie and Reggie. He had been trying to be a good friend to Reggie, who, had never experienced a true Halloween before. They decided to show Reggie a true Halloween experience. Trick or treating. Howling in a cemetery. And necking in a haunted house. That last one made Y/N blush with heat as he had been having these lustful daydreams of kissing both Archie and Reggie, taking off their sweaty and grease covered shirts as they—

He shook his head of those thoughts and got ready as Archie, Reggie, and Dilton Doiley were waiting for him and Betty to come downstairs so they could go trick or treating. Y/N blushed as he put on his black slacks and dance shoes before he put on the black overalls over his shirtless body. He fixed his white bow tie and put the small bolder hat on his head and stared at his reflection in the mirror. Courtesy of Veronica Lodge, Y/N was a male burlesque, or boylesque.

Y/N knocked on Betty's door. "Betty? Are you almost ready?"

"Yeah, just let me put on my lipstick."

A few minutes later, Betty came out of her room dressed like Goldilocks. "So? How do I look?"

"Amazing, sis." Y/N said.

"Thank you. I'm sure those boys will have an orgasmic meltdown when we go downstairs." Betty giggled.

Y/N blushed and laughed too.

Archie, Dilton, and Reggie were watching their parents on TV as they came down the stairs and they all had shocked looks on their faces. Betty gave them a teasing smile. "Well, boys? What do you think? How do we look?"

Archie and Reggie got up with goofy grins and stammered out a response. "Wow, geeze whiz, Betty, you look... Tremendous."

"Ring the bell, I'm knocked out." Reggie said.

Betty giggled softly. "Thank you."

"Who are you supposed to be?" Dilton asked Betty.

"Goldilocks." Y/N said. "And I'm a male burlesque."

Archie and Reggie looked at him and they gulped at his smooth and naked skin. The small bowtie didn't help them either. "Wow, Y/N, you're... You're..." Archie began.

"You're smokin." Reggie grinned.

"Forget that. He's hot." Dilton said.

Y/N blushed. "Thanks. Shall we? Mr. Buck Rogers and One-Eyed Jack?" He walked towards the door and bent down to grab his jacket and gave Archie and Reggie a teaser.

VERONICA LODGE & DILTON DOILEY ↳ 7x09 - Betty & Veronica Double Digest

[jhsharman]

evoking Truman

The classic Harry Truman line, "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them, and they think it's Hell."

In his book, Twelve Cent Archie, Bart Beaty lists off the class elections pitting Archie and Reggie -- and the elections that don't -- through the period a 32 page Archie comic book cost twelve cents. I assume one and half pagers were there, but he just skipped them over.

The pronouncement on the 1963 story of "one of the most moralizing conclusions ever to appear in an Archie story" is overheated -- firstly because it is easy to find plenty of morality tales and preachies, and secondly because this same premise for this same story gets played out repeatedly. But maybe on that last score Bart Beaty drops out with the price increase to fifteen cents.
