#i already put in my vote for cheryl doing some weird spell and it backfiring

[thetaoofbetty]

hi :) i have seen so much negativity in the fandom and bughead’s loosing hope and saying that they will delete bh scenes, personally i don’t think so but i know that you are usually more informed, so what would you say? and what do you think we should expect? i don’t want *a to happen again, it’s embarrassing at this point for the writers and characters. (hope i don’t bother you whit this, just wanted to know your opinion in case)

okay, this is the only theorizing ask i will answer because it's redundant for me to repeat myself 100 times (and you're not bothering me, doll).

first, i think people hoping that bughead is back at the end of the season has turned into expectation for it. also a disclaimer: i've seen and heard the twitter stans lose their shit every time anything happens, it's exhausting. a lot of them have turned shipping into a competition instead of just enjoying the thing they love.

also please remember that we have no context for anything floating around. stuff without context means nothing. including summaries, stills, and spoilers.

that being said, i feel like the special event episodes could be an extension of s5? we know that the tbk isn't resolved by 5x19 and we know that there's an explosion at pop's. what else do we know?

there's enough carbon monoxide in the mines that have palladium to cause hallucinations

tabitha installed a gas pump at pop's

alice is fantasizing about a perfect world in the musical

roberto said that s6 will have riverdale find itself in the fight of good and evil and that long-running relationships maybe find themselves on opposite sides (there's really only a handful of long-running relationships on the show so it seems pretty obvious who that would be)

cheryl is supposed to be a reincarnated witch (we don't know how or why this happens, just that the tape exists and mads said cheryl would be changing or something like that)

the first 5 episodes of s6 is supposed to be special in some way

*insert stuff i forgot*

so where does that leave us? with no real clue about what's actually going to happen, tbh. okay, with what roberto said about s6, i'm really not sure i'd be rooting for my ship to be together at the start. he called it mythic, epic, and romantic and the implication that the long-running ships would be on opposite sides, it sounds like we're going to get where we're going (bugvarchoni) but it's not going to be by the end of this season.

this is all guessing, tbh. we don't actually know how any of the above fits anywhere but roberto is talking like something hinky is going to go on. the pic of cole and that fake dead deer reinforces the idea that all is not right in the land of riverdale in s6.

my vote is that there's a pretty big possibility that something weird is going on and some stuff that the characters have said to each other over this last season are things i'm going to remember while we're all waiting.

also...my kingdom for people to remember that every time they freaked out, it was pretty much over nothing in the end and context means everything.
