#i dont hate bughead

[cometcrystal]

i dont care that much about riverdale shipping. betty’s my favorite character and i dont care who she ends up with as long as she keeps getting to be The Killer. barchie is sweet and i dont hate bughead and beronica is dead in the water but i still like it

i just think its extremely fucking funny that they committed to bughead for 4 entire seasons and then season 5 happened and they were like just kidding <3

[bossbex]

I find it funny when people claim that if B/ghead broke up, everyone would stop watching and there would be no show. Lol. Ok.

[lilisouless]

BUT I LOVE THIS CHARACTER NOW! I SAID THOSE THINGS TO HER BECAUSE SHE GOT IN THE WAY OF MY SHIP! I STOPPED HARRASING AND SENDING DEATH TREATS TO THE ACTRESS AS SOON AS HER CHARACTER WAS FAR AWAY FROM MY OTP. YOU KNOW , MISOGYNI/RACISM IS JUSTIFIED ON THOSE CASES

Bughead Drabble Challenge May Edition

Day 5: Don’t Call me that/Nothing Expected/ Lesson Learned

“What the fuck would you do that for, you snake?” She barks at him, as he trails behind her.

“Do not call me that!” He huffs. “I just saved your life, that’s what I did!”

“Saved my life my ass.” She scoffs, muttering ti herself. “No one is supposed to do magic anymore. There was a pretty loud ban on magic and you just went and did it in the most public of places possible?! Now you’re marked for dead too!”

“I’m sorry, was I not supposed to save you when you had someone about to kill you, very violently might I add?”

“I had it under control! You didn’t have to come!” She shakes her head, not even sparing a look at him. “And of course, you had to be my soulmate! You, of all people!”

“Well, at least thank me for saving you! If I hadn’t paid attention to your feelings, you’d be dead by now!”

“Maybe I’d like to be!”

He stops in his tracks as she continues to walk up the street furiously. He could feel that she meant it. He sometimes wishes he couldn’t feel anything when it came to her. He wishes that the universe could’ve found a way that wasn’t so damn distracting. Maybe there was a spell that could mute that channel in his brain and he didn’t have to always run after her because he was too worried she might hurt herself. This soul bond really was a bitch.

Her steps come to a halt, a little further ahead from him as he keep staring at her. “Are you...why are you upset? No, you’re sad. Why are you...” She turns around to face him, walking to him slowly. Sighing, she looks into his head. “Jughead...”

“You forget that I know your pain. That I feel it just as much as you.” He confesses, voice low in the darkness of the night. “I know you don’t value your life much, not after whatever broke you so bad, but getting into fights with strangers isn’t going to fix anything. And if you get killed, it’ll destroy me.” He breathes out, swallowing the lump in his throat. “I don’t expect anything from you, Betty. I really don’t. Ever since school, I know we don’t see eye to eye and I’m sorry we bonded and it’s fine if you hate me, we don’t have to be that type of soulmates. Just don’t...don’t self-destruct.” He begs quietly and she cries because she feels how he feels.

“Jughead...” She breathes out. “I wish I could shut this off.” A sob ripples through her. “I wish I didn’t feel this pain, no matter how far I run from it.” She starts heaving, all her emotions toppling over, mixed with his. “I cant-“

He crashes his lips against hers and her mind goes quiet. For one perfect moment, there is no pain. And it’s just them, in the moonlight, running away from what would certainly end them. There isn’t one thought that crosses her mind, there’s only his lips and his body against hers.

When he pulls away, forehead against hers. “Soulmates can soothe each other...sorry, I’m sure you hate me even-“ She’s the one who pulls him in this time and he can’t feel any pain from her, there’s only a small sense of peace, small but there. “We shouldn’t be out for too long.” He murmurs against her lips, still fearing what was probably coming after them.

As they continue their journey, Betty intertwines their fingers because she figures out pretty quickly that he’s the only thing keeping her grounded. She learns that all things said of soulmates was real. That pushing your soulmate away will only cause you more pain.

That same night, she sleeps wrapped up in his arms, in the home of someone she knows nothing about but he does. And she doesn’t have one nightmare about the past. Instead she sleeps a dreamless sleep, her heart syncopating to his.

i’m gonna admit it................................i miss riverdale

[riverdale-posts]

I lowkey but highkey want to see Jughead be single in season 2. I realised that I like watching the scenes where he's by himself or with all of the gang rather than bf/gf time with Betty.

sometimes i scroll through my dash and i see what these random anons are saying to you all and i just-

[baddieromanova]

so you falice shippers still ship that mess who fucked once, even after alice willingly took him back after what he said to her and won't even talk to his new son? and are happy about it? lol sucks to be tasteless

This message has been sitting in my inbox for roughly 2 days and I’ve been going back and forth on whether to dignify it with a response or not. While I tend to ignore and delete hateful messages such as this and not give the coward behind them any form of the attention they crave, after careful consideration, I decided to abandon that belief because answering this question gives me a great opportunity to tell you about yourself and how wrong you are, sit back and get comfortable.

First of all, I’ll never understand how people who have 99% of a fandom blocked and filtered tags pertaining to what that fandom makes posts about and produces content for, still manage to make posts about what said fandom is doing, saying etc. Why do y’all make so much assumptions about a group of people you’ve sworn off all contact and interaction with for well over a year? How would you know what goes on in the Falice section of the fandom? So my main question here is, what’s the point of even using the block button against us if you’re still going to come to our blogs and goes through the tags to seek out what we’re up to? If these blocks weren’t in effect we could all have mature discussions instead of resorting to this, so I have to wonder, is it because the block button on your end prevents us from shutting down your bullshit so you can happily enjoy your idealistic totally pulled out of your ass version of Riverdale and it’s ships/characters? Hmm

Second of all, I can assure you no Falice fan is happy or even satisfied about their sudden reunion with no reconciliation or acknowledgement over what happened in 3x15, which we knew was bound to happen, hence why a lot of fics were produced back in the SUMMER containing the content we knew we were not going to get. Would we have loved to actually see FP apologise? Alice to punch him in the face? His reaction to Charles? A touching moment between all three after being reunited for the first time in 25 years? FP to practically grovel to Alice till he was on the brink of tears? Alice acting cold towards him? Heck yeah, we all at least wanted her to spit at him, I don’t know anyone who didn’t want her to act physically towards him, he deserved it, which is why we took our dreams to Wattpad and AO3. Personally I wanted a resentful anadonned child plot to play out where Charles initially hates Alice and we see that play out while they try to build a relationship. We have ranted, we have rambled, we have argued and we have moved on. We don’t watch this show with rose colored glasses and an idealistic perspective. We know it’s a joke and the writers are incapable of decent and realistic execution of development for friendships, relationships, break ups and reconciliations and use time jumps to avoid doing so, we’ve accepted that. We’ve made our peace with that, which is why we can still watch and find some enjoyment while you and others literally complain every single day over the most minor instances.

Thirdly, I admire your attempt to use the writers incompetence when it comes to writing relationships to push your “Falice is a mess who fucked once” arguement and even throwing in the 4x04 time jump matched with FP and Alice suddenly being together and little mention of Charles to put emphasis onto it. You’re trying to twist it into a Falice problem when it’s actually a Riverdale problem sweetheart, their problem with accurate story development and execution and just being lazy with any character and ship outside of Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead. If we want to go by that logic then I suppose by default Tom is a bad parent for being conveniently absent during his sons participation in a farm cult and not noticing his missing kidney despite being a cop thus immediately being able to pick up on that. I guess Sweet pea is a shit friend for “not saving” his bff from said cult and I guess Polly’s a bad mother for putting the same twins she was willing to run away from her family from to keep safe, up for adoption, and not even acknowledging their presence now or even having a say in who has custody of them. Of course none of these things are actually true, they’ve just unfortunately happened because of either plot convenience for the core four characters or just complete lack of care from the writers. Just the fact that they still seem to be in their newborn phase despite being nearly three years old according to the shows timeline says it all. They don’t care. As for “mess of a ship who only fucked once”, as much as you people love to clutch onto season one canon or what was established back then for dear life and disclaim 3x04, you sure do love to ignore certain parts of that season and keep 3x04 in your mouths when it comes to Falice. Seasons one and two always implied much more happened between Falice as teens than what 3x04 presented. You don’t go from telling someone you’d still sleep with them if they weren’t so stuck up, impulsively telling them to leave their spouse, doing a parole violating act to protect them, writing an apology letter despite being unable to strong two sentences together, talking about your kids making said mistakes you and your ex did and then snapping back with they weren’t all mistakes and having your heart broken upon seeing the woman you love return to her husband to “Yeah we just fucked once”. Falice were more than a one time thump, and that’s the canon I’m choosing to stick with, the same way you choose to believe Hal fathered Charles despite there NEVER being any implication through dialogue, backstory or characters that he was and there being a higher chance of the father being Tom or Fred before FP being a viable candidate. I’m not going to suspend belief of that just because the writers were more concerned with the sensationalism and “fun” aspect of the teen actors playing their parents, and essentially just doing dress up because none of their portrayals of their parents were accurate or even done to a high standard, Lili’s acting was decent but her acting is decent in general, Cole’s mannerisms were superb and KJ looked like Luke’s twin but outside of that, I didn’t see any of them as young versions of the parents and I promise nobody else did, and doing a storyline revolving around a bootleg Dungeons and Dragons game and making it borderline supernatural rather than just giving us a simple episode about the parents as teens based on the stories that have told on the show already.

You’re most likely a Halice or crackship that will never happen stan, you’ve got bigger priorities than FP and Alice and their relationship love which I’m sure has no impact on you or your faves whatsoever , maybe if you spent the time you did crying over Falice actually minding your business and shipping your ship you wouldn’t be so bitter.

[dreamingofsomething]

Some of you have never ran a gang and housed a bunch of drugged up teens when you were 16 and it shows

[foreverfearlessred]

That ep of Riverdale would’ve been a lot more emotional if I actually gave a single fuck about Veronica and Archie

[thecollege--dropout]

i just started watching riverdale (cuz some guy i play 2K with put everybody on) on saturday & i finished it already (now i gotta wait a whole damn week 🤦🏾‍♀️). but my one thing is this, if bughead are gonna date, i need them to not let their parents date. idgaf if they’re not blood related, i hate that shit. it’s one thing i hated about gossip girl with serena/dan & their parents. it’s weird. you’re now dating your sister. and the parents become step parents-in-law like no. it’s one or the other. i like alice/fp just cuz i can feel chemistry/history/unfinished business but just no. let sleeping dogs lie. find alice a new man. better yet, let ha crazy ass stay single and work on herself 🤷🏾‍♀️

[serpentatheart]

i still get super annoyed to this day how people are bashing down on falice just bc they’re the parents of bughead. i mean, it would get weird and super uncomfortable if they’re biologically related, but .... they’re not. falice came first. take it or leave it.    — also i’m talking from real life experience when i say it’s only as bad as you make it.

[amyxjakeb99]

help I started watching riverdale a month ago bc I was bored and now I’ve already watched it twice and am HIGH key obsessed with it and bughead and Cole Sprouse how did his HAPPEN

[godheadjones]

i hate some bughead shippers so much. the toxic ones i mean. the ones who make videos of the first jabitha kiss then clips of them looking up tabitha tate then going to maps. this made me so fucking sick. dont joke about killing her because she kissed jughead and jughead likes someone other then betty. if you ship them thats fine. thats totally fine. pls just dont make jokes about wanting a character dead because she kissed and “ruined” your ship

[voidworn]

a bit salty bughead won choice tv ship over stydia and even malec

Hello to the troll in my inbox today!

You thought you could linger, you thought you could stay

You made some complaints, then you faked some concern

And all you will get is this jig in return.

-

You claim that your bughead search always turns sour

There is only b*rchie -which is indeed dour!-

You’ll find that this falsehood you present as fact

@thetaoofbetty has fully debunked.

-

And yet I got up and did search on my own

I found only Bughead, and Bughead alone

No jock, soldier, fire-fighter, coach with no brain,

Not even one single red hair down that drain.

So, are you just lying? Are you being a boob?

Or is it because you’re an Internet noob?

Let’s help your research with some practical lube:

It’s a “how-to” tutorial on using youtube.
