Reminder that Cole Sprouse originally pushed for Jughead to be AroAce in Riverdale. We really could’ve had it all. 😭

RAS, you’ll never see those pearly gates…

Anyway, if I had a nickel for every time a series had six installments that gradually escalated in ridiculousness, only for the sixth installment to end with a universe reboot and the seventh installment to pick up in a new universe where alternate versions of the original characters now exist in the distant past, I'd have two nickels.

One of those series is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The other is Riverdale

julian blossom didn’t just go on a random path, he followed the road not taken by one all american archie andrews.

julian took over archie’s role in the musical—the fictionalized tale of his literal life, taking up the torch as the classic red-haired all star—and then wandered aimlessly as a “lost soul” (indecisive, unsure What His Story Is About) until eventually following the fated footsteps of Fred Andrews by enlisting and dying in the war

a life for a life. julian took on the narrative to try and set archie free.

Saw some people in my twitter circle and on here fighting about AroAce Jughead and man am I tired of the discourse.

Jughead is CANONICALLY asexual in the Chip Zdarksy. But does that mean he’s aromantic too? Not by default. But I personally believe there is evidence that supports he is not just in the Zdarksy run, but other comics as well. He’s always portrayed as a “girl hater”, there are comments made like this: “averse to romance” or his “I don’t go on dates. I don’t like people like that” or “I am in no way romantic”. Zdarsky himself says aro, for the purpose of his teen years. Demi-romantic is 100% valid too, as he gets older and his life changes.

My point is that sexuality is FLUID. Each one of these: aro, ace, demi-romantic are all present in the comics and to try to invalidate any of them, is incredibly silly. Especially since his sexuality is RARELY confirmed by any means. And for what? Because you ship him with a girl? Because you don’t?

One of the best parts about Archie comics is that there is something for everyone. If you ship him with Betty or Ethel, go for it. Go read a comic with them. But to attack people for seeing themselves in him and interpreting his character as AroAce is fucked up. Canon, non-canon, who freaking cares. Most of these stories are left up to our own interpretation anyways. Stop being awful people about it. Let everyone think what they want, and ship what they want. Be kind.

Alright. Mini-rant over. 🤣👌

Edit:

Wanted to tack this on. This is what Chip Zdarsky said a few years ago at a New York Comic Con. And I think it’s incredibly important to note that Jughead has historically been asexual coded, they just didn’t have the same language for these things that we do now. IMO, same goes for aromantic as well. A lot of people just don’t understand it or WANT him to be a certain way so they ignore the subtext.

Round 2B: Rowell, New Mexico vs Riverdale

Roswell, New Mexico: After a decade away from home, Liz Ortecho returns to her native Roswell to care for her ailing father. When she arrives, she reconnects with her high school crush Max Evans, who is now a police officer. Their chemistry is electric, but Liz soon learns something shocking: Max and his siblings are aliens who have kept their abilities secret their entire lives. As they grow closer, Liz struggles to keep the truth from her best friend Maria, and her high school ex, Dr. Kyle Valenti, but concealing the siblings' true identities is more important than ever, as a long-standing government conspiracy and the politics of fear and hatred threaten their lives.

Riverdale: Archie Andrews starts the school year with the world weighing on his shoulders. He's decided he wants to pursue a future in the music business, but his recently ended clandestine relationship with the music teacher has left him without a mentor, and his friendship with Jughead Jones is in a bad place. Things look like they might be turning around when Veronica Lodge, a new girl, arrives. Despite the instant chemistry, Veronica is hesitant to risk a friendship with Betty -- who has a crush on Archie -- to pursue anything. Amidst all the small-town banality lurks a mystery: the recent tragic death of Jason Blossom, the twin brother of beautiful and popular troublemaker, Cheryl.
