#riverdale trash

[tategaminu]

Me looking at Netflix giving a ridiculous amount of episodes to terrible series while only giving TDP nine per season to the point the crew had to cut stuff from the original script because lack of time

[wallbeatjournal]

Are true riverdale fans of the opinion it is a very good and nearly flawless show or does being a true riverdale fan mean being able to mock writing choices

it's long-running serial television plotted a season/half at a time so definitely not even "nearly" flawless.

BUT. i'm not doing combat with the writing team. i'm not actively reading against the text the way i have to in order to enjoy something like supernatural or the 90s robin comics or the fucking sopranos, which are patriarchal christiancore copworld rapeworld white supremacist horrorshows that hate their minority audiences, with like 2 good creatives involved and martyring themselves to fight the good fight on sparse rare installments if you try to approach them sincerely.

riverdale writing staff are like a favorite smart problematic tumblr mutual to me. I don't always like what's on their blog or who they're referencing. but we're in the same community and i'm interested and inspired and i trust their agenda overall, even when i see shit i wouldn't have fucking posted. but bc i'm not being condescended to or actively spited i'm not gonna condescend to or spite them, you know?

i expect rvd to age like twin peaks (another very uneven, highly referential serial juggling a couple of intensely cool metanarratives on top of its core story). and twin peaks fandom mocks twin peaks all the time. twin peaks includes some CLUNKY shit. it's kitsch. it's camp. it has a second season that is largely ASS. james is there. and on top of that it also includes some genuinely offputting-to-me stuff that just bothers me to sit through, even though i feel like i understand and respect what they're going for with it. i just don't want to watch someone sweep the fucking bar for minutes and minutes as entertainment. OK!!?

...so yeah. mock riverdale but in the right spirit. is that an answer? do i sound like i'm chugging the flavoraid koolaid fresh-aid? probably.

when i block people who leave very bad tags in my riverdale posts

[ihateliterature]

Just saw someone saying that the main 4 in Riverdale getting in a polycule is the best ending that could have happened and when someone pointed out that Jughead is aroace and romance repulsed they got super butthurt bc "it was not cannon in the original comics" and "it was not canon in the show"

That's what I say, before following any alloallo person in fandom and listening to their opinions the first thing you need to look for is if they are normal about aspecs. Most are not

I can't even count the times when I see a queer person in fandom, usually so up in arms about representation, happily erasing aspec characters' sexuality

Another queer show cancelled…

there's just something inherently hysterical to me about toni doing her square-ass little prepared cheer routine meanwhile in fantasy filter land the lights dim and the beat drops as cheryl's looking at her like toni's an oasis and she's been crawling around the desert for days

i understand the storyline of tabitha being gone for the next episodes. however. i’m fucking gutted. “awesome i mean hm swell” is their last interaction?? no way. tabitha remembers that then jughead is like “wait who are you again?” traumatize me riverdale why don’t you

[wallbeatjournal]

love that in a post-riverdale, post-roberto world it's a normal standard regular archie trope to put him in a horny love triangle with jughead and some guy in a suit grooming him for evil

(finally read the second issue of archie comics: judgment day and it ruled. it did in fact rule)

[crowley4prez]

people say riverdale went downhill after s2/s3 but i rewatched s1 and it was so shitty and cringy i couldnt even continue

[highkingpetermagnificent]

I know I have nanowrimo to do but what if I started watching once upon a time again

[gottagobackintime]

I upset some I*zy stan with my previous post because I said in my tags that trash shows like Riverdale get season after season while shows like OFMD gets cancelled..

After all these years… am I… am I involved with fandom drama?? Do I get people who hate me and my opinions on my blog now?? Have I made it??

[change-the-rules]

well unlike last time they didn't confiscate my phone which means if I can channel my panic attack energy I could theoretically try and write some fic

fun fact I just counted and have scraps of 9 different ch*ni fics but I am still not super confident about actually writing any of them

riverdale update jughead was concerned about one of his students who was writing stories about a character being held captive and tied up and beaten so he went to talk to the principal and he was like “yeah that’s weird but he’s just a creative kid. also he does often come to school with injuries he won’t explain but i’ve met his parents and they seem chill so it’s totally fine.” so jughead asks the kid if everything at home is ok and he says it is and then the next day his parents come in all pissed and demand their son be taken out of jugheads class and the principal is like “jughead you dumb piece of shit. you stupid asshole. i TOLD you i met his parents and they were chill. why did you ask your often injured student who writes stories about abuse if his home life was ok. dumb fuck.”
