[ID: old comic book of a red haired guy with freckles standing on a bike with his arms crossed saying "just a matter of skill that's all" near him is a young blonde girl in a white shirt and red skirt, across the street is a dog looking towards them. the word Archie is in big bold red letters on top END ID]

Today's Public Domain Character: Archie Andrews

Archie and the rest of the gang are public domain as the copyright for early Pep Comics which they made their debut in was not renewed and therefore wouldve had their copyright lapsed around 1970.

Now the more iconic look of the characters are under copyright but the basics of those characters are still public domain, the premise of archie vying for the attention of both betty cooper and veronica lodge is still there.

Jughead, Reggie, Katy Keene, the gang's all here for the most part and they didnt really change much personality wise with the redesigns that came way later on.

Characters such as Sabrina or Cheryl Blossom that were introduced way later are not in the public domain.

Sidenote: People who claim public domain produces nothing but horror versions of beloved characters, i mean...Archie Comics been doing horror versions of Archie characters for a long time, thats like half their lineup.

Plus Riverdale is...certainly a thing...

Since I finished Riverdale, lemme give yall a list of uh let's say iconic moments that DON'T make it into top posts

People talk about Archie and the bear but don't always mention the reason he's in the woods is to hide from a mob boss the specifically has beef with him.

Apparently there was talk of whether Bughead (bettyxjughead) was incest and some have even implied that Veronica has an oedipus complex but there's an actual pair of cousins that have a baby bc they don't realize they're related thanks to some old ass family feud

Josie's send-off/comeback episode that was clearly supposed to help her spinoff into her own series that never happened and yet Katy Keene was a thing?

Aliens don't exist but angels do (side bar: Tabitha's time traveling episode was one of the best)

Reggie and Archie say they love each other after a threesome

Reggie kills his double

Cheryl's mother was adopted and raised in the family to eventually marry their son.

Kevin's dad and Archie's uncle fuck. No they don't talk about it.

Speaking of Kevin, people like to point out the batshit cult but never mention Kevin joined not one but TWO and was the creative director for one of them

Toni has a baby that everyone insists on referring to as "Baby Anthony" and it had me confused thinking there was another Anthony in the mix. Why did they do this?

Ab Fab ended after five series in 2003 and while fans are still praying for a reboot, they’ll soon be able to enjoy the next best thing: Absolutely Fabulous: Inside Out, a documentary spilling the beans about how the show was made. Featuring Saunders, Lumley, Julia Sawalha (Saffy) and a slew of clips, it’s a glorious reminder of how groundbreaking the show really was.

Eddie, Patsy and Saffy were its stars, but so too were the clothes. Six years before Sex and the City catapulted Fendi Baguette bags and Manolos into the mainstream, Ab Fab made designer labels a talking point in a more irreverent way. Rather than existing to gild their wearers, clothes were often the butt of the joke, with Edina’s “It’s Lacroix, sweetie” sending up her obsession with labels in a way that viewers found relatable.

For the costume designer Rebecca Hale it was a dream job. “Jennifer [as the show’s creator] gave you freedom and creative licence. Nowadays you’re more constrained — there are so many points of view.” Although the job wasn’t without its stressesos famously worked close to the wire, frequently editing lines at the 11th hour. “I would often be on a motorcycle coming back from Selfridges when they changed the script, and I’d be running around Selfridges trying to find more shoes. You’d sometimes get the script on Thursday and be shooting Friday. I’d be sitting outside Harvey Nichols waiting for it to open, laughing and thinking, ‘Wow, I can’t believe she’s written that.’ ”

Not only did the script go close to the wire but also sometimes close to the bone. “But satire is what makes comedy so fantastic,” Hale says. “If you compare Ab Fab to something like Emily in Paris, [Emily] is more like a runway show than an observation on society. It’s very two-dimensional. It doesn’t take the piss out of itself.”

At the time gossip mags were the equivalent of Instagram, and Hale remembers looking through Hello! with Saunders for inspiration. “We’d see Katie Price getting out of a car in a Juicy Couture tracksuit and a G-string. What I loved about Jennifer is that we’d be telling stories and [showing] the complexities and insecurities of being a woman. We’d always make everything tight. Trousers would be extra small so there’d be a camel toe. You’d relate to the vulnerability, and show [the audience] that vulnerability is OK. Everything now is so pure and clean. Nobody wants to offend, but there’s got to be a bit of offence in order to observe.”

By the time Hale joined the show in the early Noughties (the earliest series were wardrobed by Sarah Burns), it was firmly established and most designers were keen to lend. “Gaultier and Dolce & Gabbana were always generous. The rest we’d buy at Harvey Nichols and Alexander McQueen. Betty Jackson made all of Patsy’s things, so we paid for it at cost. She was also generous and had a very big say in the way that Patsy looked. It was such a great contradiction to Eddie — very pure in its line and not so messy visually. Patsy was much more messy physically because Joanna’s such a great comedic actress.”

Decades after the final series of Ab Fab aired, Patsy is still a popular fancy-dress costume. What, for Hale, is her most iconic look? “There’s a white Betty Jackson coat that she wears with a black tight-fitting dress underneath — I think it was vintage Yves Saint Laurent. The tones were important — she’d wear cream, white or black, and occasionally red, whereas Edina would wear anything.” Indeed, the latter would be slavishly latching on to the hottest names and trends of the day. “One of my favourite Edina outfits is the Burberry look she wore in the early 2000s. She’s got the check bucket hat, jacket and three-quarter-length trousers.”

If Edina’s looks were outrageous, so too were those of her secretary, Bubble (Jane Horrocks). One of her more memorable outfits is a padded dress printed with Teletubbies, inspired by the popular children’s TV show of the time. “I was a single parent and had just come out of that period when you’re watching Pingu and Teletubbies. My brain was frazzled but I loved the imagery of it.”

By contrast, Saffy’s wardrobe was deliberately wholesome and drab, as befitted a girl who was chastised by Patsy for “dressing like a Christian”. Hale says: “We’d go to a shop and pick the cosiest jumper or the ugliest item of clothing. Anything that looked like it was a walking contraceptive pill, I’d put on her.”

Such was the show’s popularity that famous faces lined up to have cameos, meaning that Hale also had the fun of dressing its numerous celebrity guest stars. “We had a whole room of supermodels once. Elton John turned up in his own fabulous outfit. I remember dressing Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithfull. Anita turned up with these amazing lilac silk flowers, one for her and one for Jennifer. I put Marianne in a tailored white trouser suit by Bella Freud.” Hale also worked on Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016), which featured a cameo by Kate Moss. “Kate was delightful. We were going through some ideas and she pulled out this dress that Johnny Depp had given her — black sequins, made by a very famous costume maker in Hollywood. Because the scene required her to come out of the River Thames, I copied that dress, remaking it in green sequins so that she emerged looking like a mermaid.”

Hale says that if Saunders ever did decide to do a reboot, she would look at influencers for inspiration, and dress them in labels such as SS Daley, Balenciaga and JW Anderson, adding in vintage pieces by Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney. “Fashion is so eclectic now. I’d have to find something that was extreme. Edina would have to wear a Kim Kardashian bodysuit like she did on Saturday Night Live.”

Hale is interested in the power Kardashian wields. “She’s a fashion icon. Although you haven’t got those fantastic people who really used to cultivate their own looks. Nobody takes risks any more. They’re all too concerned about how they’re perceived. In the Nineties you’d have these very famous fashion people — Anna Wintour, André Leon Talley, Suzy Menkes — each with their own image, and they’d stick to it. Now people just go to a designer and get plonked in it rather than curating their own style. Money kills creativity. You get paid to wear a brand and it takes away your identity. I think that’s sad.”

It’s the antithesis of Hale’s approach to fashion. She got involved with Ab Fab after initially working with Saunders on the comedy series The Comic Strip Presents … in the late 1980s and early 1990s, followed by the sketch show French and Saunders in the early 2000s. “We’d banter with each other about what was going on in our personal lives, and I’d often regale them with stories about my mother,” she says. “She was exuberant, to say the least — a great beauty, a great intellect and something of a fashion icon. On holiday in Greece she’d rise in the morning wearing some kaftan and a turban and ceremoniously walk on to the beach, waving at the Greek fishermen before swimming off in the nude.”

If she sounds uncannily like Edina Monsoon, that’s because she is. “Part of Edina is based on my mother. Her name was Crystal Hale and she was an inspiration to many. She’d take me to school dressed in a cape decorated with great big lions’ heads and a huge fur hat. She was extremely loving but very alternative. Her various stories and antics would be relayed back to Jennifer and Dawn, and they would give each other a sideways glance. So, yes, she was part of the inspiration for Edina.”

Ever since Ab Fab aired, fans have been guessing who Edina was based on, with the most popular theory being Lynne Franks, a well-known fashion PR who shared some of her traits. The name Crystal Hale has never been mentioned. She was the daughter of the novelist and MP AP Herbert, and indeed, some of her parenting sounds like it would put Edina’s to shame. “On one particular day, when I was terrified of [doing] my GCSE, she gave me a type of amphetamine called a purple heart to calm me down. It did the opposite.”

Never mind Edina being based on her mother: was Saffy based on Hale? “She might have been in the way I relayed my stories, but I was equally outrageous in my twenties,” she says, laughing. “My mother encouraged me to be expressive. At school I was into punk fashion and she’d allow me to wear a Vivienne Westwood cobweb-knit angora mohair sweater with no bra underneath, a miniskirt and rubber stockings.”

Hale has just finished working on Kaos, the Netflix black comedy starring Jeff Goldblum and Billie Piper. “I’ve rarely felt as happy reading a script as I did reading [the writer] Charlie Covell’s — it’s the closest to Absolutely Fabulous in terms of being laugh out loud.”

And she’s not surprised by the lasting impact Ab Fab has had. “The relationship between a mother and daughter is a theme that’s never going to die. It’s light-hearted, hilarious and there’s nothing else like it. I think it needs to be reintroduced.” We’d drink (the Bolly) to that.

Be More Chill opinions Act 2

Aight, this is gonna be another long one. First up, thank you so much for 3 followers! I'm feeling so loved right now ❤️ Alright, here goes another massive yap... If you're not down for it, scroll away now...

Halloween: It's fun! I love everyone's silly costumes, even though I kinda would have liked to have seen Rich's weed costume from the book... Also Jake's prince/Prince mess up is pretty funny. Also Brooke makes an adorable poodle (not in a furry way I swear) and this further cements that I love Brooke and Jerberry. Also the SQUIP dancing, 10/10. I'm not super keen on the extended ending in the Broadway version

Do You Wanna Hang?: Ew. I don't even wanna think about it. If you ship More Than Hang don't talk to me.

It kinda annoys me that in the Broadway version they don't let Michael be angry in the bathroom scene, like Jeremy hasn't talked to him for weeks, it's perfectly reasonable to be kinda mad! But tbh Michael getting 'softened' is kinda a problem throughout the whole Broadway production. Still love him though.

Michael In The Bathroom: It's awesome, you know it's awesome, just... ughhhhhh. There's not much to say that hasn't already been said. George Salazar please marry me (only joking). Not really any strong preference between Two River and Broadway, the slayness is too much in both to try to criticise either. Oh also the I wanna dance with somebody bit is amazing :)

The Smartphone Hour (Rich Set A Fire): This song has no need to exist, yet alone be 6 minutes long, but I'm so glad it does. It's just so fun. The dance is so fun, and I have to do it every time, and you know by now I live for goofy costumes and this scene certainly delivers. The boys dressed as girls is 10/10, and they all slay in their drag :) I love how two of the guys come down from the ceiling on massive sparkly iPhones, truly iconic. The Broadway version is slightly better for me because Tiffany Mann is an absolutely powerhouse, but I love Katie Ladner too. Overall top tier scene 😍

I know the order of Pants Song and Pitiful Children is different in Two River and Broadway but at the time of writing I am listening to the Broadway album so I'm putting Pants Song first

The Pants Song: This song and scene is completely whack but I love it! Yes, you go king, wear those pants! I love how he's like, aight, time to become Superdad! It's so fun and an iconic moment. Also 'Do you love him?' '[very stoned voice] Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?' amazing. Also I love how they have the MITB instrumental in the 'I already tried to help him, and he called me a loser!' bit. Also I just love this whole scene. 10/10. Also in the Tiny Desk concert Tiffany has some awesome vocals in the middle bit, although tbh that whole video is awesome. I should have mentioned in the Act 1 post that Lauren Marcus does an awesome cover of A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into and also Jerberry woo :)

The Pitiful Children: Okay, this is the first song I really have strong opinions about Two River vs Broadway. Firstly, I way prefer the lyrics in the Two River version, cos on Broadway it sounds like squip Christine and squip everyone else to make Christine happy, like that doesn't make any sense to me. Also the costumes for the squipped people in Two River are awesome and intimidating while on Broadway they're just weird. Also in Two River they reprise the dance from The Squip Song which is really cool. However, one thing Broadway has going for it is Tiffany's awesome vocals, like slay queen. Add Tiffany Mann to my list of theatre crushes lol. I might make an actual post of that soon lol. :) Anyway back to the point, Pitiful Children is awesome but better in Two River.

The Play: I don't super love either version that much, but both have their moments. Firstly, MICHAEL MAKES AN ENTRAAAAAAANCE!!! Yaaaaaaaaas! My boy Michael, you're not in the bathroom no more! (Credit to some YouTuber I stole that line off, can't remember who, sorry) Oh yeah, going off topic again but I finished the BMC soundtrack and now I'm listening to Little Shop Of Horrors and I remembered George Salazar was in Little Shop at some point and he slaaaaayed. Anyway, it's pretty fun how they reprise some of the earlier songs, even if the reprise of Two Player Game when Jeremy and Michael are fighting kinda kills me. Oh also 'I'm living the upgraaaaaade!' is awesome! One thing that I like better in the Two River is the delay before 'Drink this.' cos it gives it some tension, y'know.

The hospital bit is amazing and hilarious, and while I don't really ship Expensive Headphones the 'is he single' bit is amazing. Also I too identify as Anti-social Headphones Kid. Also yay pants! Also, 'Oh I was fully prepared to watch you suffer,' damn dude.

Voices In My Head: Awesome! I like the Broadway a bit better but I'm not totally sure why. Also 'Of the voices in my head, the loudest one is mine!' is a mood for questionable mental health squad. It doesn't totally make sense that everyone is suddenly friends and totally chill with the chaos that has been happening, but it makes for a nice ending I guess. It's cute that at the end everyone is having fun and happy.

So yeah, that's it, so in conclusion I really love BMC and basically all the cast and characters and most of the songs wooooooo:D
