OH HERE WE GO LADIES IT’S RIVERDALE, CHAPTER EIGHTY: “Purgatorio”

I’m tuning in to be VERY entertained on the grounds that I missed almost the entirety of S4 and will not understand anything

we open with an incredible analogue comparing the football team to the Army, as men do construct rituals: football players get blown into the sky, etc., in a heartrending mash-up of Archie’s innocence + the American ideal/expectations/pipeline of masculinity

Archie Company is decked out appropriately to storm Hürtgen Forest

that art direction trope where a character’s hearing goes EEEEEEEEEEEEEE after an explosion……...delightful

the Vixens and friends cheering him on from the sidelines as if Archie can only process his unprocessable present through the lens of his past………...hits the spot

distressingly wood-based rifles for our purposes

Archie > Dawson: I don’t mind telling you I felt emotion upon Archie hoisting his war buddy over his shoulders to that quadruple-toned “Chivalric Archie Using His Strength for Good” tune, like when he broke his whole hand busting Cheryl out of Sweetwater River

WHEN HE SAW HIRAM LODGE, I’M TELLING YOU!

Hiram’s dragon-scale gloves? absolutely savory; he would

“Yonkers” is one of those New York place names I don’t totally buy is real (Poughkeepsie is another)

the sepia-toned light in this hospital room rings true judging by all the Captain America fanfiction I’ve read; I also like the mint-colored hand towels draped on Archie’s bedframe bought, one assumes, using the Department of Defense’s Kohl’s Cash

Archie made Sergeant, which is the best ranking for a fictional character: important enough that they can be a leader, get into trouble; low-profile enough that you don’t have to write them in the room making terrible decisions; probably won’t die immediately, as a Captain or Private might be

Fifth period is AP English: Archie reads A Farewell to Arms to Corporal Jackson, a WWI novel by Hemingway that Jug definitely turned him onto

Christ, Archie looks good in that on-leave jacket thing

I like Jackson’s subtle graph paper-print hospital gown

Gay?!: was Jackson in love with Archie? is he gonna bus to Riverdale once he’s off his pain meds? RAS, is that you in there?

God you know I love that haunted-ass Exorcist wooden bench bus light lighting

how long has the WW been relocated under Pop’s??? I do NOT know what happened to La Bonne Nuit

Sexy, aesthetic Southside: Fangs’ hair? his Tony Stark glasses? the girls’ “I’m a Slave 4 U” Burmese pythons? Toni’s headdress and immaculate glossed lip?

Sixth period is Intro to Film: the only part of From Dusk till Dawn I’ve seen is Salma Hayek putting her toe in Quentin Tarantino’s mouth but judging from that I figure I’d like the rest

The female gaze: Jesus Sweet Pea still looks good

Toni’s stage is flanked by twin pillars of melting candles and I would like someone to track those down for my bathroom

if they lay one hand on Pop Tate…

Betty appears to be, on her own, running the FBI training course. Betty is such a freak

Betty’s FBI-appointed psychologist is “Dr. Starling,” wears a great yellow blouse; Betty eats what appears to be a mini-sized Milky Way

her blond FBI trainer-boyfriend (uh) Glen appears to be an unholy fusion of Jimmi Simpson and that one actor with brown hair and really sharp light eyes whose acting credits I can’t think of right now, you know who I’m talking about (not the guy from Vampire Diaries)

I quite like her patterned blouse and I hate his yellow (gold?!) and blue tie

Please protect Betty: obviously we stan the Silence of the Lambs shit even as it remains infuriating Bryan Fuller couldn’t get his hands in it

Betty’s cat’s crying was so disturbingly baby-like that I had to leave the room once I realized it was in fact a cat

I’ve watched the Elisa Lam tape too many times in recent hours to handle this hallway shot

REALLY GROSS LICKING NOISES

the Trash Bag Killer coming at her was scary :(

Betty’s lovely blue knit cardi with the puffed sleeves!

50 Shades of Betty: clearing her throat before the doctor quite finishes her sentence—Lili Reinhart continues to be great at conveying “slightly perturbing subterranean tension”

was Charles a serial killer too??? oh damn!

Betty has been successfully holding off giving Glen a key to her place until now, an era that must come to a close

fellas, “Do I at least get a kiss?” is a bad move

Veronica was rich: Veronica’s new digs: exposed brick, bougiely avant-garde chandelier; possibly an elevator door right there behind the dude?

Veronica has married Hiram, to no one’s surprise

Chadwick looks like Jimmi Simpson and brunet Evan Peters plus a jaw

Veronica’s single-puffled-sleeved gown…..madamn (she has absolutely been taking secret birth control pills)

Summer + Blair = Veronica: of course Veronica would be great at Howard Ratner’s job; I MUST know what “specialty showcase haute couture offense” Vinnie has committed

T-Dubbs’ green jacket

Veronica pretended she was working at like, a department store? but she MISSED the EDGE post-day-trading

their apartment is so expensive that their bedroom is totally exposed

oh my god, Hermione

Best costume bit: please get me these satiny green high-waisted slacks?! and ugh her blouse has shoulder tassels……..she’s flourishing

“That’s threatening to an alpha like Chad.”

yes, they have a private elevator. fine.

Glen and Chad get their ties from the same Men’s Warehouse

“When that helicopter went down on the way to Martha’s Vineyard…”

you know kissing is 4-real when one person cups their hand to the back of the other person’s neck all close

I don’t understand the drop of the Glamergé egg but I appreciate that there is one and that Veronica is like, get this the fuck out of my house

Veronica’s shiny cropped tweed two-piece, Yvonne’s weird feathery coat that matches her bf’s shirt (you know she’s supposed to be “too much” because she’s got big hoop earrings)

God, Jughead is next and I’m not gonna be able to handle it

OH GOD IT’S SO MUCH WORSE THAN I THOUGHT

Alphabet City?! the piano?? the fucking East Coast Beat typewriter shit—the day robe? I’m—READING CLUBMASTERS? FORSYTHE???

OH GOD HE’S DATING ANOTHER WRITER (she has nice pants)

Jughead eats: “that place you like” is a HOT DOG STAND in the middle of SOME GRASS

I’ve seen Brick like thirty times: Jughead wears high-ankle light blue jeans, grey socks, and spectators that blend to create the illusion of wading boots. I’m going to commit a crime

Jughead doubts it: “So did Kerouac. And Hemingway. And Fitzgerald.”

fuck yes I love Floundering Jughead, and his Pushy Agent who pronounces “career” like “Korea,” and the continuing tradition of Jughead getting kicked out of his house

I like Literary Grifter’s sweater

the Brat Pack, and most of the Rat Pack for that matter, were actors, but I assume RAS couldn’t resist the rhyme

I was 100% afraid we were about to learn Cora was an uncomfortably-young undergrad

the musical cue as she reaches into her bag is absolutely as if she’s taking out a gun, and it might as well be! it’s the scariest thing in NYC: an unpublished manuscript

showrunners doing a classic I Love Lucy job partially concealing Vanessa Morgan’s pregnancy via medium close-ups, draping black clothes

Cheryl slowly turning to ask if doesn’t she look okay 10/10 icon

Cheryl’s pins: she has either a tiny spider or maybe a tick

Cheryl’s sheaths: the lacy red thing, amazing

why is Cheryl’s left hand gloved?

Cheryl’s a chaos angel from hell: Cheryl’s going to forge a Rembrandt, which unfortunately means she’s my favorite person on the planet (she does not look happy about doing this)

btw is Nana Rose an Immortal?

please tell me about Toni’s eyelashes

EXTREMELY HAUNTED DOLL?!

“Damn good coffee”: Archie’s earnest “Where are people gonna sit for the bus?” slayed me

fuck YEAH Ghoulies party house! terrible music but really good skull spray paint art

Jug looks LOW lol

Veronica’s blouse + buttons, impeccable

I’m writing a scene where it’s gay.: Tabitha/Squeaky

the hellscape semi’s red backlighting and its skeleton’s red eyes

I like Linette’s glossy bomber!

the trucker who’s about to kill her can’t also be the Trash Bag Killer….truckers have to stick to too much of a schedule….but he could be Betty’s meandering serial

I loved this episode

NEXT WEEK: Archie brings the FBI down on some people paying their rent :(

Note

I’m trying to make sense of the timeline with these last few episodes of s4 for varchie, what’s your take? like her finding out, the porch kiss, the bedroom kiss, etc

okay, i actually have somewhat of a timeline in my head for the varchie stuff! i’m sorry but i haven’t thought about any other storyline in-depth lol i don’t know the nuances, but roughly,

5x01 - prom! these are the last days of high school, so no time jump yet. everyone said it’s a big episode for va.

i think the first scene is the one with veronica and hiram where he talks about feeling better from his “disease”. then i think it might go for varchie at pops, she’s excited that her dad is better and ko will be in town.

maybe she encourages him and archie to fight to impress the naval academy person. kiss goodnight. ok, so ko and archie do all the ~impress the academy thing sexy thing~ practicing together, and varchie go together to archie’s place (when he’s sweaty).

for some reason she’s gonna talk about something and need reassurance and he’ll say that he loves her and kiss her (while sweaty), then probably leave to shower and that’s when either mary tells v about the song, or v finds the song in archie’s things.

she decides to host something in la bonne nuit because--naval academy? whatever, to be a good girlfriend. ko and archie probably have their bonding moment in the sauna beforehand, he probably tells ko something he shouldn’t. then, veronica invites bughead GOD KNOWS WHY. then she’s saying something very sweet about archie’s music and sings the song that she thinks was for her.

ba are 👀. then, maybe b leaves or the scene cuts. maybe veronica realizes some of the weird glances? not sure. just sure that archie will feel guilty af. the next day i think it’s archie and ko’s fight and i think archie will lose it. veronica will ask if he doesn’t want to go to prom since he’s beaten, and he says they can’t miss it, he looks miserable. but goes on with it, they have their beautiful prom moments (hiram might say something approving hdhshs) and then while slow dancing he won’t stand the lie anymore and spill the truth. in between i know there’s some ~voyeur mess going on.

veronica is said to handle things maturely, so i guess she doesn’t slap him senseless, she probably just asks something heartbreaking that he might not be able to answer immediately or she’ll say something like “i’m going to barnard and you’re going to wherever, and i can’t have you confused for the rest of our lives, blabla”. i don’t know, i think they’re part of choni’s court too? unless they have already left after the mess (that’s when choni are crowned and bh slow dance). i don’t think they break up or anything, maybe they just leave things up in the air or she asks for space.

veronica goes home and initially i thought she was gonna tell hiram or hermione, but i’m wondering if she tells hermosa for a bonding moment since they’re having a storyline next. archie goes home defeated and finds a tape for himself, which sets him into the plot for 5.02.

5x02 - i have not much idea of what’s going on here, but apparently archie is forced to face his demons while helping the kid who ran over fred? so i think it’s going to be a very dense and emotional episode for him, that will help him maybe let go of something that’s been holding him back. i am kind of curious of how they’ll explore the whole thing from archie’s pov and if they’ll relate reverting to b as part of his healing process? have no clue. i guess whatever he’s set to do will direct him in the right path again.

as for veronica, i know she’ll team up with hermosa and try to get hiram away from lodge industries because they think he’s sick (?) and i think they might find out that hiram’s been mafia-ing his way around town and punching bitches, and that he’s never been sick in the first place maybe? or maybe we’ll find out that he’s lying about getting better. anyway, he’s lying, and he won’t allow hermosa and veronica to do anything i guess? lol he’ll probably just con them. i think hermosa is going to give veronica some advice about archie and i know cami posted a picture frame of varchie that’s in the scene where she talks to hermosa, so maybe we’ll have her holding the picture frame and considering some stuff?

until this point i don’t think that the kiss is addressed with bughead!

5x03 - not sure how it’ll start, but sure that this is when we’ll have the cute jarchie scene in the lab.. archie has some trouble about graduating, apparently. we might have a beronica scene here too, when there’s the yearbook things, and it will enrage me, cause i think veronica will have come to terms with what betty did first. i also think archie will look at them both ~longingly for some reason. then, mmm, i think at the end of this day veronica shows up at his door to either give him back his stuff and break up or just break up, and archie for some reason doesn’t want her to -- they’ve come to terms with what happened and decide that they shouldn’t end in this note, they had a relationship too special -- or they just can’t do it and kiss/make out.

then there’s graduation. core 4 jalopy scene? maybe the core 4 go on some quick last adventure. then they all bury the time capsules as summer rolls in. (not necessarily in this order). this evening might be when jughead learns about the kiss. i like the alternative that betty just tells him and i’ll go with it. she tells him, they have a convo about their future and sleep together, while varchie inevitably break up. i don’t think bughead will!

and jughead is probably upset with archie. and betty is probably upset that he’s upset. and veronica has broken up with him. so archie will leave to the army without saying goodbye, because he’s upset everyone and no one’s talking to him, but then they all show up to say goodbye. and it ends with archie leaving riverdale...

(there’s also the alternative that core4 drive archie to the bus in the jalopy, but i have no idea why they’d use that old ass car if archie was late)

at first i thought they’d have a preview of the time jump on 5.03 but maybe not, to be honest - it’s not as impactful as it would be with a hiatus in the middle, so maybe there’s no cliffhanger, just archie leaving... and we know he’s only coming back 7 years late.

let’s see how much i get right!

#re: varchie #riverdale speculation #anon #reply #i added nothing about what i think is going on in archie's mind or about ba because i have no idea and i don't want it to happen so lol #but id say he's confused by the end of 5.01 and not so much anymore by the end of 5.02 #but then it's maybe too late

your intuition for when characters are evil in a fun way or evil in a shit way is really something

thank you so much. it’s simple, really. basically your sexiness and fun factor (physical and emotional) needs to balance out or overpower your evilness. for example hiram lodge is evil but because he’s fun about it he’s okay. b*lly h*rgrove isn’t fun nor is he sexy so his evilness is just evil. anakin skywalker is better than kylo ren because he’s sexier and more entertaining. this scale is often why milves get such a free pass. and if we all lived by it then things would be a lot easier.

Two Drifters | 3/3 Jeronica Secret Santa

@fangstomysweetpea oh my god.... its finally time!!!

The moment i’ve been aching for is finally here and i am HYPE

Happy Christmas my dear Tumblr-friend, I hope you enjoy this jeronica playlist/au/riverdale rewrite.

A couple things first, the descriptions on each song are just an outline as to whats happening in that moment/what the song calls for. Also, this is like a story, so its not really something you can play on shuffle lol. I’m confident you didn’t really need these “instructions” lmao, just want you to have a bomb-ass jeronica experience XDD

Also, you don’t have to “follow” the descriptions when you think them out, you can completely take the reigns too if you’d like!

So.... here ya go!!

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1MflcKtyBDRjnP0giX03X4?si=ZcsD0GfxR0KevhgDpTZVKQ

And here are the descriptions-

Oxford Comma-

Locking eyes for the first time… wow. Just- everything is in slow motion.

Baby Doll-

Slow dancing in Pop’s after the dance. (V goes to Pop’s instead of Archie)

Can I call you tonight?-

Jughead and Veronica’s moments of glee when they finally set up a date with each other. Veronica squeals and jumps up and down, Jughead punches the air, they both fall down on the bed with blissful looks on their faces. Two cinnamon rolls.

“So, I’ll call you tonight?”

“Yes! *Too enthusiastic- calm down Veronica* Yes. Call me tonight.”

*Que music*

Just Like a Movie-

Jughead calls this their theme song one day when they’re just hanging out in the student lounge as a joke.

Scrawny-

Veronica calls this Jughead’s theme song in response, they have a good laugh and Jughead rolls his eyes at the lyrics A LOT.

Space Girl-

Jughead calls this Veronica’s theme song- because she’s “oUt oF tHiS worLD!”.

She smacks his arm for being so cheesy.

Good Morning-

The morning after they do the “horizontal tango” with each other for the first time, they dance in Veronica’s kitchen, knowing all the words- only to be interrupted by an amused Hermione Lodge.

Unforgettable-

Their first Christmas together, spent snowed in at The Pembrooke. But honestly, they don’t mind.

Shake it out-

Jughead and Veronica cry together after her parents blackmail them/force them to break up. #parentssuck.

Your star-

Coping with the breakup, newsflash- they aren’t, or when they are... they don’t go the healthiest route. So. Much. Angst.

Rare-

Veronica changes up her style a little bit, which really is just lower cut tops, just trying to forget about Jughead- does a lil sexy performance singing to this at a pep rally.

Out the door-

Jughead never leaving the depressional stage of grief.

+ Exchanging broken looks that just scream “I’m not over you.”

I can’t get you off my mind-

Drunkenly hooking up at a party because their tension recently had just been… w o w

Drugs-

Sneaking around- sexy times ;)

Why Do You Love Me-

Having a screaming match, then a very angry/hot makeup session, then very angry sex XD

The Wind-

After some hOrIzOnTaL TaNGo at Sweetwater River, they admit that they can’t keep away from each other, saying that they love each other for the first time- followed by Veronica crying tears of joy cuz she’s never done that before- and that they’re going to work everything out, together. They just hold each other after that.

“I love you, Princess.”

Veronica props herself on her elbow to face him (they were laying down before)

Jughead sees her widened eyes. “Y-you don’t have to say it back, I know its ha-“

“I love you too, Jug”

You and I-

Montage of working at Pop’s for summer, ending with a jam sesh in Jughead’s trailer- Veronica just in his shirt and Jughead just in his sweats. FP comes in, surprised to see Veronica, but welcomes her easily. FP and Veronica bond, and he embarrasses Jug with some baby photos. While Jug’s probably beet-red, he can’t help but completely oggle at Veronica- happy that they don’t have to hide from his dad anymore.

Start a Riot-

Jeronica send a little message to Hiram through security cameras (they just make out lmao), showing that he can’t keep them apart. They then proceed to trash Hiram’s jingle jangle lab. :)

Moon River-

Slow dancing after having been crowned homecoming King and Queen. And of course, because Veronica is 1/2 of this relationship- this becomes their song.

“That’s us.”

“What do you mean?” Veronica asks, confused.

“The two drifters in the song. ‘Two drifters, off to see the world.’ That’s us”

Veronica’s eyes start to gloss.

“I absolutely love that. And you.”

Teenagers-

Being the badass power couple they are, being 100% team Serpent against the Bulldogs during the riots. Its all one long shot too- no cuts :))

A Sunday Kind of Love-

Looking at each other in slow motion (wow- I really love putting stuff in slow motion) when Veronica is officially named Serpent queen, they’re absolutely smitten with each other. Cut to them dancing in the Wyrm to the song, discussing how they’re going to make their big debut as Riverdale’s resident power couple… second to Choni of course.

“So… now that I’m your queen, I was thinking had a debut of sorts. Just to educate the public of this new order.” Veronica jabs, only kind of joking.

Jughead laughs, but it sounds more of a huff.

“Could you settle for a hand-in-hand entrance at school? Or would you be more comfortable with a red carpet event?”

Glory-

Veronica and Jughead walking into school as Serpent Royalty with matching Serpent jackets- no special colours thank you very much. You can bet your ass its in slow motion.

Worlds Apart-

Veronica crying at Jughead’s bed-side after the Ghoulies fuck him up.

Boss Bitch-

Veronica gets revenge on the Ghoulies and Penny Peabody with the help of the female Serpents, the River vixens, Hermione, Betty, and Alice.

Le Symbolique-

Veronica and Jughead reunite from his state of unconsciousness, this whole sequence is in slow motion, with a lot of white lighting/glare. Jughead almost died and just that thought alone KILLED Veronica.

“Jug I was so scared-“

“Shush Ronnie, let me look at you.” His teary eyes trace over Veronica’s face with a beaming smile, before he brings his girlfriend closer and kisses the top of her forehead.

Harmony Hall-

Some core four bliss before it gets chaotic again, with a side of Jeronica and Barchie cuddles.

Not Your Barbie Girl-

A River vixen performance, Jughead is so fricken in love with Ronnie right now cuz she’s just RADIATING empowerment.

Therefore I Am-

Jeronica sends Hiram to jail again after a bomb ass one liner from Veronica:

“Mija, you have no idea what you’re doing.”

“Only one thing’s false in that sentence Hiram, I’m not your Mija anymore.”

(HELP ME I CAN’T WRITE)

*Proud Jughead smirk*

This Life-

Veronica meeting JB and Gladys, them getting along great- just a wholesome Lodge/Jones get-together.

Don’t Call Me Angel-

Veronica changes her name to Luna, fully emancipating herself from Hiram, and this gets Jughead really turned on XD

Sway With Me-

La Bonne Nuit’s first successful night, Josie, Veronica, Toni, and Cheryl perform. Veronica somehow convinces Jughead to dance with her in public. Think Moulin Rouge’s Diamond Dogs type editing.

My Oh My-

Getting screwed over my Hiram, Veronica is in a TON of debt and needs some “stress relief” with Jughead. He obliges. Happily.

HIP-

Veronica and Cheryl start their rum business, Jughead helps and oml he’s so proud of her. Btw, Cheronica are HUGE badasses right now.

Bury a friend-

Surviving Eversgreen Forest and Penelope Blossom…

Youth-

The core four are free from the forest, successfully escaping Penelope Blossom. Jughead and Veronica share a tearful but happy kiss, laying down on the back of a truck.

Don’t Take The Money-

The core four hang out at pops and promise to have fun this senior year, Jughead steals Veronica’s cherry from her milkshake, but being so vulnerable to Midget’s (He calls her Midget. Yup.) puppy dog eyes, he makes it up to her by sharing his fries.

“And for a brief, shining moment, we were kids again.” all that good shiz

The Four Seasons: “Winter”-

Jeronica hangs with the Stonewall psychos.

(Online Love)-

Veronica and Jughead FaceTime and Veronica has this vibe like she’s the montage of the hero’s dead girlfriend in a movie. Like her hair is all splayed out on her pillow and she’s all smiley-

“You look like an angel right now- with your hair like a halo and how much you’re smiling.”

Veronica laughs

“Well it’s your fault I’m smiling you idiot.” Her voice softens towards the end of the sentence.

“I love you too, Ron.”

El Tejano-

Party at Stonewall, Jeronica are absolutely WASTED. Fun fact- Jughead get’s really into PDA when he’s drunk

Burned Out-

Oh shit… I guess Jughead is dead now. (dw, Betty’s still the one who “kills him”)

Claire de Lune-

Just kidding, he’s alive, and he and Veronica have a really cute moment in the bunker. Veronica starts reading his novel, per his request, and he just starts playing this on the record player and she smiles but her eyes are still on the book. He just kind of watches her, and when she starts beaming at the book he can’t help but kiss her right there. Then they just cuddle and little bit, Veronica on Jug’s lap, reading the book some more.

Girls Like GIrls-

Veronica has to prove Jughead is dead, so she and Betty kinda sorta… make out. Like, a lot. Betty is dating Archie at this point, and he’s the one who gets “mad”. But basically Betty and Veronica end up making out again cuz they spot Donna watching them. Veronica is a bi con, and Betty might be too but everyones in denial so *shrugs*.

Dream Lover-

(Time skip, because I’m lazy) Jughead’s alive again, sadly, his spot at NYU was taken by well, Veronica. Luckily, after pulling some strings, she surprises Jug with a full-ride acceptance letter from NYU starting second semester.

Magic Moments-

Yay! Prom! Barchie gets crowned king and queen (Beronica was kind of forgotten about, but thats fine, because we’re here for Jeronica first). While Betty and Archie are totally lost in each other, Jughead and Veronica are just kind of joking around on the side. While it’s Barchie’s moment, Jeronica is still looking pretty damn cute rn. Also, this becomes Barchie’s song!!

Oxford comma-

The song comes through the speaker at prom, Jughead invites Veronica to dance. As they sway, they gaze at one another like they’re seeing one another for the first time, to the song that started it all.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And thats it! Thats Jeronica’s story from season one to season four, I hope you have a very merry Christmas and I hope you liked your presents! Also, if anyone feels like adding on to the dialogue or using any of the points in a fic or even making a whole ass fanfiction- please do!! I didn’t do this justice with my mediocre quotes so it would actually be preferred XD.

And again, happy Christmas :))

Riverdale S5 Ep11 Thoughts *Spoilers*

thoughts under cut to keep tag from being cluttered :)

- Oh yeah I forgot that Chad was blackmailing Veronica about the dirty dealings in her company even though it’s not her at all (unless it’s just been so long and I’ve forgotten but she’s my baby and I feel like I would’ve remembered but-

- Hiram and this dumb prison is one of the worst things for this show it’s a constant plot of people escaping and it’s so annoying like sure Hiram owns it and he was in the jail but no one has, like, taken him back to jail…??? Hiram is a fucking disease smh

- “back to remote learning” why didn’t you just stay that way though… like even right now in covid schools are opening back up and kids are complaining because it’s still not safe so like… just… go back to it??? I’m so not built for this world fasdhfkahf

- Veronica and Smithers 🥺🥺💞💞

- the way Veronica hugs Archie is so cute bc she’s so tiny but like she always gives her all and Archie is just 😐 never giving anything ahjfsdfsh it’s quite sad you can tell how done KJ is with Varchie lol

- “I really hate that I’m dragging you through this.” … what about constantly pulling him into your mob boss father mess that the writers refuse to allow you to escape from?

- “until you and Chad are officially done, I think we should keep our distance.” Varchie bones!!! you just KNOW that Archie has been looking forward to this because that man is whole heartedly in love with Betty and has been since forever and that while Chad prolongs the divorce papers, Archie will not be waiting for Veronica considering he doesn’t want her. Varchie = bones we love to see it!

- now who tf would join Penelope Blossom’s ministry… no one, realistically.

- can Cheryl stop being given the craziest and usually most boring plots ever please...

- Not someone holding a gun to Tabitha literally don’t hurt Riverdale’s best girl weirdo

- these bitches really haven’t aged huh…. poor Veronica though being robbed but like they stole some watches or something and the opal like that’s all you take..?? okay-

- Fangs 💞💞💞💞💞 also rip to him having to work with his ex tho

- STOP HAVING ARCHIE GO TO HIRAM WE’RE TIRED

- You know considering the whole reason why Hiram is still here as the villain and ruining Veronica’s life/growth to keep her in his plots al because Mark is a big soap opera celeb and apparently brings in money, you’d assume they would give him GOOD shit instead of everything he’s gotten. If they hadn’t of hired Mark can you imagine how much better off the show would be if they didn’t have to keep him around bc of his status????? God why-

- Reggie’s always there for Veronica muah…. oh fuck me I guess fjasjkdf

- “I work for one Lodge and it’s not you.” lmao okay??? you acting like that’s a flex, and that you’re working for the better Lodge who literally left you to die after the Serpents thought you shot Fangs so-

- MARTY BEING WHY REGGIE IS WORKING FOR HIRAM…….. YOUR DAD IS ABUSIVE LET HIM HANDLE HIS OWN DEBT??? God both Veronica and Reggie are always fucked over when it comes to their parents huh

- don’t you just love when they make characters act ooc for a plot ahhhhhh it’s totally fun to watch and totally not frustratingly annoying

- “FOR OLD TIMES SAKE.” 💞💞💞 we love Veggie even though they made Veronica act ooc and hurt him back then and they weren’t given an actual chance.

- “don’t be such a Betty” now why is Betty so surprised she only ever had fun when she was with Archie, when she’s with Jughead all she did was do what she wanted and order him around so likeefjhakdfh

- “he shouldn’t really be my problem anymore.” BUGHEAD BONES YASSSSS

- I know it was just a sound they used but like that squish sound when Darla kicked Tom’s face… did she like smash his face in damn what is this The Walking Dead?

- see the problem with them randomly bringing characters/parents in when they need them is that they’re never around so like no one really cares… like they could have utilized the parents so much (and Skeet and Marisol never would have left) and it would have been so much better than random appearances that make them look incompetent and awful parents because they’re never there during all the other times their kids need them. but we have to see the two toxic parents that won’t go away constantly??? literally what the fuck

- Betty calling Jughead’s writing cringey wbk she’s never liked his writing she was just stroking his ego bc she was his gf and had to be supportive lmaoo

- why are these 60+ year old men beating up Jughead like for why???

- so they just forgot that Tom was checking in on the convict huh gotta love dumbing down characters for plot!

- Fangs with his switchblade muah

- jealous Tabitha muahhh over a password

- the way he smiled at Veronica was so contradicting to the blank, “please don’t” expression when she was telling him she was gonna get divorced as fast as possible. why can’t he just admit he doesn’t want to be with her!!!!!! my god they’ve put off barchie long enough just let them be together so their characters can finally act in character and stop being so awful and annoying

Riverdale S5 E12 (Jaime/Hiram) - 5 Things I loved/ 3 Things to consider

5 Things I loved

1. The music selections for the Jaime to Hiram transitions were delirious and filled me with joy. I admit up front I’ve never heard any of these songs before, so if they turn out to be a horrible kind of misappropriation or desecration or something I will feel bad. In any case - Riverdale commits to giving you a dose of the surreal every episode. The difficulty with doing that in this episode is that the stories being told in it are unusually straightforward, even staid, for Riverdale. So they went to town with the sound track.

There’s a song (Demolicion by the band Narco) that sounds like it’s being sung by the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Toons on a bender - it’s just rawararwrarawrar. All these songs about Hiram ‘being bad’ and mentioning the ‘devil’ are so on the nose that the nose gets broken and pushed right into the skull (the title of the song is literally Devil Devil).

2. I love that Hermione Gomez wears huge 80s glasses that completely overwhelm her little face and yet Jaime hits on her and thinks the world of her. It helps to have that face, I grant you, but as someone who took the Dorothy Parker quote, Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses, very very personally back in the day, I LOVE that Jaime/Hiram has no such qualms. Did everyone notice the bust of Nefertiti that’s positioned right behind Hermione the whole time Hiram is successfully asking her out? I did and it cracked me up.

3. I loved that nothing in this story about Jaime Luna makes Hiram Lodge even a little bit sympathetic to me. Hiram is an out and out villain, and I love that. I’ve been sick of villain backstory narratives that are like, Bad Things Happened To This Man So We Must Identify With His Homicidal Impulses that keep coming out, but this episode didn’t do that.

a) Hiram is in so many ways a textbook abusive husband, and the only thing that distinguishes him from the more stereotypical abuser is that he doesn’t actually punch his victim (he just shoots at her using other people’s guns). Abusers blame their victims for ‘causing’ them to commit abuse. The same is true here. The story that Hiram tells Reggie about his life pretends to be about his father, but is actually all about the fact that it’s Hermione’s fault that he’s a gangster. She’s the one who likes the fancy clothes and the fancy car, the one who names him Hiram Lodge, the one who is turned on by Hiram working for gangsters, the one that goes to the gangsters (rather than his father or her mother or any other adult) to get Hiram out of jail. It’s all her fault and she owes him. This is in addition to his usual, You’re my wife and I own you.

I am right back to being very worried about Hermione.

b) Hiram pretends to be giving ‘life advice’ about fathers and sons to Reggie. Hiram has direct knowledge that Marty Mantle is a piece of shit, and that Reggie has a very trouble relationship with him, and that Marty absolutely does not respect Reggie at all whatsoever (“Reggie is a fool.”) Hiram uses Reggie and then ditches him when he’s done. Hiram makes Reggie an accessory to murder, which nets nobody anything at this point other than Hiram’s own blood lust - and possibly tying up loose ends because Vito is someone who can correct this yarn that Hiram is spinning about his origin - then breaks his heart. Marty Mantle is not only a dad who beat his son - he’s a dad that does not ask his son “Where did you get the money” when the son pays off a huge debt to a known criminal, and is only relieved that he’s no longer on the hook. He also tellingly asks Reggie, “That’s what you got from my story?” indicating that this is a story rather than a testimony.

4. I loved the very anti-straight men commentary the show keeps sneaking in. Like, straight marriage is the worst, especially the ones that produce biological offspring, according to Riverdale. Marty Mantle absolutely despises sex. He’s a guy who sells sexy cars to other guys for a living, and yet he hates talking about getting laid in one. He hates his beautiful sensual son, too, for being sexually successful and comfortable in his body. Both Reggie (described by the gay-bi Fangs as “very straight” even after kissing him) and Hiram (who is basically a Hermione-sexual at this point) have comically fetishistic relationships with cars and shoes, lovingly wiping down these objects at the start of each day. All the straight men say the word “shame” several times -I’m ashamed of you/ I feel shame/ so ashamed/ shame.

5. I continue to adore “I am not in high school any more” Reggie Mantle. Growing up to be a slightly sleazy car salesman is the one of the few character developments for Grown Riverdale that both makes sense and isn’t depressing. Core Four, Cheryl and Polly are all extremely depressing and supportable with logic. Toni and Fangs make out OK but they were also underdeveloped in the first four seasons. (I am too upset to talk about Sweet Pea). I was moved by his tearing up while very quietly confronting his father, and I was moved by his boyish attempt at trying to show his new boss that he’s not just the muscle. Oh and he’s so beautiful, did I say that already? There’s so much face in Reggie’s face - strong brows, deep set eyes, those cheekbones, that jawline, that MOUTH.

Three Things to Think About

a. Why is Jughead narrating this? Jughead is unusually wrong about a lot of things in his opening narration, and I assume this is intentional. Jughead seems to use the words hero and protagonist interchangeably, and also I guess hasn’t seen Joker because most villains and antiheros also always get their origin stories too. (There’s a theory that what we’re watching is the Betty Cooper serial killer origin story, for example). Has Jughead not watched “Citizen Kane” because he asks “What is his rosebud?” about Hiram, BUT WE ARE NOT TOLD. Jughead sounds jealous of Reggie, frankly, and he’s wrong when he says Hiram collects lost souls. What OTHER lost souls does Hiram have near him? And who the heck is S5 Jughead Jones calling LOST?

b. What Reggie really wants to do - and possibly also Hiram - is to wear a suit and carry a briefcase. It’s just very White Collar Aspirant that isn’t fully explored. Like, how the 50 shades of grey movie was really about sitting in a board room negotiating a contract and having pretty women in suits bring you tea - that was the erotic highlight of that movie. We live in capitalism, so getting to use the accoutrement of the Wall St capitalist is the true fantasy.

c. The point of this episode that the show is making to the viewer is this: A straightforward narrative, where gangsters act like gangsters, and fathers and sons have realistic misunderstandings and conflicts, is something we’re capable of doing. We just don’t want to.

#riverdale s5 #riverdale positivity #riverdale review #i did very much like the stuntcasting of making the Hiram actor's son play the young Hiram #i guess they had to do it but using hermione's original actress to play her mom does NOT work #that lady looks 100% front desk and not even a little bit housekeeping #this was a brazen fail of bechdel test for riverdale which doesn't do that great to begin with #ready for some high octane creativity and craziness from riverdale soon #SPOILERS #Hiram lodge #reggie Mantle #marty Mantle #hermione lodge

Riverdale Review

So, decided to give Riverdale a shot after hearing a gajillion decent rave reviews about it, as well as it being renewed for second season (and also coz my sis in law was watching it and it intrigued me) and my curiosity peaked seeing the characters.

From here, and the next few posts after, are my play-by-play review of each episode leading to the season finale of Riverdale Season 1:

Episode 1-2

It's so weird and familiar at the same time to watch familiar characters behaving in non-familiar roles LOL It's like watching an AU of Archie we grew up and loved.

For starters they changed skin colour and ethnicity of some characters, which I have nothing against, but needs time to get used to. Like Reggie: Asian jerk; Josie and the Pussycats: All black casts; Weatherbee: black and thin, Coach Clayton: still around, completely taking both roles of himself and the fat gym teacher; Pop Tate: black; Kevin and Moose: brunette instead of blondes; and Grundy: sexy young music teacher instead of old thin English teacher</li><li>I was like seeing Archie n Grundy and like "Noooo.... That's just wrong..." Coz I can't picture Grundy as young and sexy LOL

Oh and Dilton Doiley is Asian nerd LOL Stereotyping much?

Betty is kinda one dimensional, just like the comics, but at the same time, I think this Betty is interesting, like tortured soul who wants to break out but forced to be perfect, tho maybe has a split personality problem

Apparently they decided to give Betty a sibling and turn Jughead bk to being an only child LOL In the comics he has a baby sister named Jellybean

Jughead here is so emo~~ But I like it ?????? Jughead has always been my fav character in the comics

Episode 3

OMG they made Chuck a jock jerk LOL He's supposed to be the coach's son who loves football n has a talent for drawing comics LOL The lovable black teddy bear Almost forgot to mention tht apparently Moose is a closet fluid? Interesting... And where's Midge?

Josie is such a high and mighty entitled diva attitude tho LOL I get wat she's trying to fight for, bt she doesn't hv to hv such an attitude abt it

Personally I think the actress suits Veronica, she's got the rich bitch look LOL

Geez, hardcore much? I prefer u go back to be ur lovable nerdy self like in the comics, Dilton LOL

Episode 4

OMFG Cheryl Blossom is such a bitch in this series. She's not so bad in the comics, bt in the series she's devil incarnate

OK looks like they didn't cut out Jughead's sister Jellybean after all, she was mentioned in the current episode I'm watching

*gasp* Grundy is not Grundy?? The pic in the news article is a more accurate representation of Grundy LOL

I just realized Archie is missing his trademark freckles

Wait, who? Jennifer Gibson? Certainly not a character I know in the comics

Interesting new look for Big Ethel though, instead of the familiar tall lanky thin girl with buck teeth. I hv a feeling they used the old concept design of Big Ethel for Riverdale

So weird to see Archie's dad not being the lovable chubby balding clueless dad we all know

Hermione Lodge is Hispanic and not the graying old mother in the comics, weird but at the same time refreshing

Ooh, and it turns out Hermione is just as corrupt as her hubby Hiram, as well as Josie's mom the Mayor. Hmmm... Kinda curious wat Hiram Lodge would look like in this Riverdale incarnation

Hmm... Jennifer Gibson aka Grundy seems to hv a vry predictable bk story, I can see it a mile away. Can we trust her?

Why did they make Betty's mom so...ugh! I hate her so much right now, coz she reminds me of my abusive tiger mom... N the actor playing Betty's dad looks kinda familiar, I can't put my finger on it. A little help, guys?

What's with all the pink, Alice Cooper, n snooping on ur kid's room n diary? Reli now?

Smithers looks almost accurate, just missing the balding features LOL

Hermione Lodge n Fred Andrews were a fling? Reli now... Interesting...

Is Southside Serpents a thing in the comics?

Aww, Archie finally breaking it off amicably with 'Grundy'. Very mature of him to do

Ugh!! Way to ruin a perfect beautiful breakup, Alice fucking Cooper!!

Who the hell is Joaquin?? Is he in the comics?? He is HOT!!

Oh my~!! Kevin~!! U scored urself a hot one~!! Romeo n Juliet moment alert~ ??????

Awwww~~ Kid pictures of Jughead n Jellybean~~ ??????

Wait, what?? Jughead's dad is the leader of the Southside Serpents?? ?????? #mindblown

Episode 5

How is Kevin able to reconstruct the murder board after looking at it only once? Does he hv photographic memory??

Is Trevor canon in the comics? His name sounds awfully familiar tho

Oooh~~ The famous Archie-Reggie rivalry is on!

Veronica n Cheryl frenemies? Finally, something canon btwn them Whatever happened to Mr Jones' balding thin dad look? LOL Not that I'm complaining, Riverdale Mr Jones is hot ??????

A Cheryl Blossom slumber party? This spells bad news...

Looks like Archie's dream of being a musician is bk on track. Is Reggie gonna get the captain title?

Archie's new music teacher looks like a no-nonsense type of guy

The actors for the Blossom parents looks kinda familiar tho... (This is wat happens wen ur a movie n TV buff. Every single actor looks familiar to u LOL)

At least Betty is not fully girly girl, they retain her comic canon with her knowledge on cars

Well, I was expecting Polly to be sent to a group home coz she was disowned or coz she was doing drugs. Didn't expect it was bcoz she attempted suicide after a bad breakup

My preliminary prediction: Jason Blossom tries to elope with Polly, n things went South btwn them n Jason decided to go thru with it alone coz family problems #Riverdale

Ahh, the Blue & Gold, the classic journalism room, tho I remember it being run by Archie n Betty, with Juggie being the silent member

Isn't Archie n the boys more on the basketball team than the football team tho?

I still prefer Betty/Archie over Veronica/Archie tho...

Yeesh, Veronica having dinner with the Blossoms. I feel awkward already. N wats up with Nana Rose? She looks like the stereotype creepy grandma in the rich eccentric family in horror movies

Geez, now I dunno who I hate more, Betty's mom or Cheryl's mom

Well... Someone's sending a msg to Hermione...

Still feels weird tht Betty is not an only child in this Riverdale incarnation

Jason looks more pretty than handsome. Too pretty in fact. There's no way he's straight. I mean hv u seen those lips?

Veronica wanna help Cheryl revolt against her parents? Sure, real good idea, V *sarcasm*

How is Jughead able to afford stuff for himself, let alone a nice suit for the Blossom funeral wen he's sorta homeless n not living with his Serpents dad?

Let's see wat Cheryl n Veronica hv up their sleeves for the Blossom funeral

I keep forgetting that Archie's real name is actually Archibald *snort* And I always thought Betty's name was just Betty, not Elizabeth

Isn't it weird to wear ur beanie with the suit, Juggie?

Woah, Cheryl. White for a funeral, n the clothes u wore during Jason's disappearance? Bold move, girl, bold move

Pretty suitable song n beat for her entrance tho LOL Shout out ur defiance, Cheryl

Kinda creepy that Mrs Blossom thinks Archie is like Jason, just coz of his red hair

Snooping on a dead man's room? Sacrilege much? LOL

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WHERE DID U COME FRM, NANA ROSE?! #Riverdale

"The horror, the horror~!" - Jughead, 2017

Nana Rose revealed something crucial abt Jason n Polly's relationship!! Is my prediction true??

So weird, just noticed Nana Rose hv a single streak of red hair in her gray hair

Well, apparently there is blood feud btwn the Coopers n the Blossoms, n the sins of the father is being paid by the blood of the son's

The Coopers r now in the murder board, tho I suspect Betty's mom might be the person who destroyed the murder board at Sheriff Keller's. Betty's dad looked pretty bewildered looking at those files

Afterthought: Kinda weird tht the blood feud is btwn the Coopers n the Blossoms. In the comics, it's usually btwn the Blossoms n the Lodges

Episode 6

Juggie having breakfast at the Coopers? Dealing with Alice? Awkwaaaaaaard~~~

Ooh, looks like Jughead's presence at breakfast has an ulterior motive

Archie choked on stage #cringe </li><li>Archie and Valerie now?

Polly's group home sounds more like a prison than a group home

OMG Josie is such a hard-ass in this #Riverdale incarnation. Where is the sweet comic Josie that we know n love?

Uh-oh, someone caught their mom making out with their BFF's dad. N the Andrews being divorced is so wrong~

OK, looks like Archie n Valerie might be a thing, Josie is pressured to meet her mom's expectation of representation, n Josie n Veronica r using each other to get bk at ppl out of spite. Surely things can go great from here *sarcasm*

Finally we get to hear Polly's side of the story, n my prediction was right abt them eloping, n it makes me hate Alice even more

So if they nvr met, wat happened to Jason? Whodunnit?

Polly's story is confirmed! Poor Josie didn't get her father's approval! Archie n Veronica bk as BFFs! Archie didn't choke n didn't suck! Betty n Jughead r a thing! So many feels!

P/S: Archie n Valerie is a thing! N Fred n Hermione is sort of a thing! Tho how're u gonna explain u forging ur daughter's signature? And geez, just because your daughter doesn't like jazz the way you do, you have to diss her like that? On her own talent show? Fuck you, "Dad of the Year"

I definitely see tht car evidence gonna be destroyed one way or another a mile away, tho instead of my expectations of Polly being removed from the group home, I didn't expect her to run away herself. The suspense is killing me! On to the next episode

Episode 7

OMG! I can't even!! Why does everyone in Riverdale hv an effed up family?? Whatever happened to the wonderful carefree Archie Comics family-friendly world~? #toogritty

Hello~ Airing out ur dirty laundry where ppl can hear u n text n spread rumours abt? Reli, guys?

Looks like everyone has seen that Betty n Jughead r a thing

Hah! Take tht, Blossoms. N why is Cheryl so sad n upset n literally in tears wen she heard Polly preggers? Is the twincest true?

So Polly is hiding in the attic all this time, n Cheryl wants to help. I don't trust u, Cheryl. N nice father n son moment with the Andrews n the Jones at Pop's, aww~~

Uh-oh, Keller n Weatherbee saw the murder board n now Jughead's being interrogated. Wats gonna happen?

Well, looks like Cheryl did something right for once. N Polly is safe under the Lodge's protection. Bt wait, WTF is Jason's football jacket doing in Jughead's dad's closet?? WTF is this twist??

Episode 8

Archie n Jughead BFFs again

Andrews joining in the fray to declare war with the Blossoms? Great~ A baby shower with Coopers, Blossoms head2head in Lodge territory? Great~ ??????

Juggie is buff AF!

Cat's outta the bag for FP, now Arch knows he's a Serpents head, tho I suspect Jughead might hv an idea

Yup, saw that go wrong from miles away #babyshowergonewrong

Uh-oh, another revelation from Polly, tots didn't expect that

Where's Hotdog? Where's Juggie's trusty dog? As far as I know, only Jug has a dog, not Arch

Well, another Cooper secret unveiled by the Cooper couple, n looks like Polly is bk in the Cooper family fold sans the Cooper dad. How is tht gonna pan out?

Joaquin is just playing with Kevin's feelings? Nooooo~~ Polly chooses to stay with the Blossoms instead of her Cooper family? Nooooo~~ Serpents hv a hand behind Jason's murder after all? Nooooo~~

Episode 9

Well, looks like the nxt episode of Riverdale started off plenty of ulterior motives n foreshadowing, most of them I fear not too good

Archie is now one foot into the Blossom lion's den bcoz he made a deal with the redhead devil, n he has unwittingly become the Cooper's fox in the henhouse as well. Oh classic Archie to get into murky sticky situations

So I guess Veronica and Big Ethel are gonna be BFFs as well?

"The ice woman cometh" - Jughead, 2017

Bribing Archie with gifts now, Cheryl? Real low. I have a deep strong feeling that the Blossoms are doing it as a way to use Archie as their substitute son

I'd listen to your dad and your BFF Juggie if I were you, Arch

Cooper hubby firing Cooper wifey over personal disputes and personal vendetta against each other. This is one of the reasons why husband and wife shouldn't work together in a business, guys

Yup, I was sort of right. Mr Blossom sees Archie as a substitute son, sorta. All because of his damn red hair...

Classic Cheryl, to try and drive a wedge between Arch and Valerie. And I thought they'd have something going there

Oooohhhh boy, guess Veronica's Good Samaritan act is not going so well... Why do I have a feeling Veronica is sorta doing this more of to atone her father's sins?

After rewatching A Dog's Purpose, I finally realized that young Ethan is played by Archie, with his original brunette hair LOL

Oh gosh, superimposing red on Archie. It's almost like there's some sort of sick twisted meaning behind this Blossom parents' intentions...

Oooh, so THAT'S why Polly wants to stay with the Blossoms. Be careful about being a double agent/spy, Polly, in your condition, it's not ideal

Ouch, sometimes truth hurts, even if you're the one trying to tell it, V

Cheryl is not "awesome", Arch. Don't get caught in the Blossom drama

Too late, you're caught, Arch.

Aha! Finally Arch, you've caught on to the Blossom game

With all the damage Hiram Lodge leaves in his wake, now I'm REALLY curious how Hiram looks like if he shows up in the next season

Glad you've come to your senses, Arch, though maybe at the cost of your music career and your dad's livelihood

Alice Cooper working in Blue & Gold? I dunno...

Oops, looks like Arch/Val is no more. Pretty sure it's almost accurate to the comics that Betty and Veronica seem to be the only constant women in his life

Well, I guess V and Big E are back as BFFs again

Another name added to the murder board (Hiram Lodge) and there seems to be a foreshadowing that spells trouble from the Blossoms

Episode 10

So much foreshadowing in the previously segment

The Andrews divorced? The Jones separated? This is not my Archie comics universe, guys~! T_T

Surprise party for my fav boi Juggie~! Judging by the slight foreshadowing scenes during Jughead's narration, it can go one way or another, and my gut is telling me it's south :/

Chuck is back? This can't be good and Betty definitely has some anger or split personality issues judging by how she cuts herself clenching her fists everytime she's agitated

Ooh, Blossoms guilty of ruining Lodges' life for the sake of getting out of payment? Wouldn't surprise me

Oh, Blossom vs Lodge dance battle is SO on!

Arch having cold war with his dad over the divorce, and prolly gonna makes some stupid decisions that are booze-related, and a clandestine meeting between Cheryl and Chuck? Oh boy, this south feeling is going even more south in my books

Wow, Hiram, threatening your daughter if she doesn't testify for you in court? What a new low

Betty, I think your BOYFRIEND deserves to know your psycho split personality side, dontcha think? Much more important than him not telling you his birthday

SURPRISE, JUGGIE!!

Awww~~~ Betty wearing the Juggie beanie symbol on her shirt, so cute~~~

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Jughead~ Happy birthday to you~!"</li><li>Seriously, I get that you don't like big birthday celebrations, but your girlfriend is putting effort into it, the least you could do is appreciate it. And oh god, Arch, please don't take out your anger on your dad by letting the worst news (aka Cheryl and Chuck) of Riverdale into your home

OMG, Jughead, stop overanalyzing everything! Stop doing this to yourself and appreciate someone doing something nice for you! Don't do this between you and Betty! Geez~!

Oh crap, what is Cheryl and Chuck up to now? And why is FP not doing anything to handle these kids?

Secrets and Sins? Really? And why are YOU in charge, Cheryl? It's Juggie's birthday, not yours >:C

Oooh, Blossom vs Lodge's dirty laundries. Nice. And Dilton is odd as an Asian, although the books doesn't specifically say what race he is. I'm more used to him being shorter and not so psycho though...

Wow, Juggie has a mean right hook! Won't see him do THAT in the comics. And FINALLY FP stepping in and be a dad for once

Wait, what? Alice Cooper was a Southsider? A Serpent? Well then!

Juggie without his beanie! Finally! LOL And good, you manned up and apologized to your girl. Now kiss and make up!

Birds of a feather kiss together, I guess. I still prefer Betty with Archie over Veronica with Archie though...

Aww, Archie is such a gentleman, even when partially drunk, letting Veronica sleep on his bed and he take the floor

So weird to see Smithers as the footman instead of the family butler though

Eating an entire cake and drinking milk out of the box? That's the Juggie I know ;P

"Small town, but not that small?" What are you implying, Alice Cooper?

Well, Mrs Andrews is back in town. Guess your drunk-dialing worked. What would happen next?

Episode 11

Is this previously scene foreshadowing trying to say that Archie might leave with his mom given the chance now??

Well, they kept the Mrs Andrew hair curls, though again, prefer the comics' chubby mom look

FP looks SLIGHTLY closer to the comics now that he's got a shave, but honestly, I prefer him with the beard for this incarnation

FP trying to low-key discourage him from pursuing the Jason Blossom case, hmmm...

Aaaaaand Archie/Veronica moment is off again

Alice Cooper being the paranoid suspicious Alice Cooper again...

So Mr Blossom is trying to fight age with redhead wigs. I can see why Hermione Lodge would call him a wig-wearer

Oooh boy, V, you sure you wanna jeopardize your friendship with Betty for this, just to investigate her boyfriend's dad?

Nvm, on second thought, I think they nailed Mrs Andrew's look LOL

Moooom~~ Alice Cooper is at it again~~!!

What's with all the parents ambushing their kids with sudden news in this episode??

Well, Juggie is sort of right about a rendezvous, just not for the reason he'd think

Polly is really treading over dangerous waters, girl

One for every mood, Mr Blossom? Boy, you sure are insecure about your whites...

~le gasp~ Nana Rose's ring is in Mrs Blossom's room? The plot thickens!

Alice, STFU! You promised! And oooooh~~ Looks like Betty brought out her trump card!

You're not gonna find anything, you guys. FP has already taken care of that with Joaquin

Great, what yarn will the Blossoms spin this time?

I have a very strong suspicion and a very bad feeling about that milkshake, Polly...

Cooper-Jones dinner is getting sooooooooooo awkward~~~~

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE MILKSHAKE!!!

I have a feeling Cheryl might just be lying as much as the Blossoms did...

"Yea, though I walk through the Valley of Darkness, and Archie Andrews is there with a smile and a sports metaphor" - Veronica, 2017

Juggie leaving Riverdale? Say it isn't so!

Alice Cooper and Mary Andrews rivals? Hmmm~ That's just not right...

Archie and Veronica singing covers at the Homecoming Dance. Interesting. Archie sorta has a nice voice, and so does Veronica, but it doesn't really 100% pop

Uh-oh, the po-po found something Arch and V couldn't the first time. Is it planted? Coz FP looks just as surprised

Why is Kevin always the go-to guy to ask if anyone asks about someone's whereabouts? And why is he always the one up to date on gossips? LOL "You all need tracking devices" - Kevin, 2017

Oh no! Friendships are crashing! Trusts are broken! FP is arrested! Evidence may be planted (?) This is turning out so wrong!

Did FP REALLY kill Jason though? I'm not too sure about that

I knew it! I knew it! I called it! I knew the ring had to still be with Cheryl!

I CALLED IT TOO! I CALLED IT! FP IS BEING FRAMED! #freeFP

My prediction: Cheryl is the killer all along, and she has been framing people left and right to throw everyone off the track. Twincest is getting more and more plausible by the minute

Episode 12

Gee, parents, thanks a lot. We're supposed to trust you guys, you know

Ronnie and Juggie both looking to skip town, for their own reasons, apparently. I still call dibs on Cheryl being the killer

FP, why are you confessing to a murder you didn't commit?? I'm calling it: someone made you a deal to falsely confess for their crimes!

It's motherfucking Mr Blossom! I know it! Either motherfucking Cheryl or motherfucking Mr Blossom! I'm calling it!

Uh-oh... Juggie facing Cheryl? Not good...

Don't apologize, Jug! Your dad didn't do it!

Oh god, trying to imagine them in their comic form saying those lines... just feels so wrong...

Nice going, Mr Andrews. What, the sins of the father has to be paid by the blood of the son and all that crap now?

Ooh, so it was Hal Cooper who took the files, not Alice as I suspected. See? It's so obvious FP was framed! WTF is going on??

Wait, wait, wait, waaaaaaiiiiiittttt~~ Hold the fuck up! The Coopers are the Blossoms all along?! What the fucking fuck??!!

Oh god, twincest, inbreeding... This is fucked up, man~

OK, so Jason and Polly are technically third cousins or whatever, guess they're not TOO closely related

Wait, if Hal's a Blossom, why doesn't he have red hair? Why didn't Betty or Polly get red hair? Surely the redhead genetics would've been pretty strong

Heart-to-heart talk between Juggie and FP there... #mykokoro #myfeels

FP hinting something? Seems like it

Alright, #realtalk from Joaquin, the lynch pin of this whole operation

Sister-sister, back together~! (hey that rhymes)

So hard to associate the lovable Riverdale with the underbelly of crime, drugs and gangsters...

Hermione now breaking under all that pressure. Ronnie is definitely as strong as she looks

One last kiss goodbye #ishippreppysnake

What's with that spider pendant Cheryl is always wearing on her shirt somehow? Is it hinting something?

OK, still leads to the biggest suspect somehow, the Blossom parents, if not Cheryl

Well, at least that part of Betty is sorta true to the comics, her brains that is #pendrivefound

What? What is in the drive? WHAT??

THAT does NOT look like good news, people! #whatsinthedrive

OK, first thoughts: the REAL incest is between Mr Blossom and Jason Blossom, and somehow the pendrive contains video evidence of their sexual acts or whatever, and Mr Blossom kills Jason coz of him eloping with Polly

I CALLED IT! I CALLED IT! MR BLOSSOM IS THE KILLER!!

Well, to be fair, FP did do those other things except murder. He still has to answer for that

FP is still in jail, Hiram Lodge is returning to the Lodge family, Archie is staying in Riverdale, the Blossom ladies are throwing Mr Blossom under the bus, and Mr Blossom conveniently killed himself and turns out he had been secretly dealing drugs under the guise of maple syrup business. This turned out to be a "great" closure, guys *sarcasm*

Episode 13

Well, I guess incest between Cheryl and Jason, or Mr Blossom and Jason is out of the table, though why am I not surprised that Blossom might have another nefarious business besides selling maple syrup. I mean, you can't exactly get rich from maple syrup alone

I barely even know this town anymore, Fred Andrews...

Well, at the way his influence goes around, Hiram might just be the Godfather

Really, Mayor? Setting up Archie and Betty as the heroes of Riverdale and just sweep everything under the rug like everything is just over and done with? Really now?

Phew, Veronica/Archie out in the open turns out not so bad, I guess, though I doubt Betty is 100% OK with it

Oh boy, are the Blossoms gonna do it? End it there and then?

Archie, are you starting to have FEELINGS for Betty now, when she's actually OK with you and Ronnie?

Hiram and Hermione Lodge buying Fred Andrews' business. Geez... Everything here in this Riverdale incarnation is so fucked up!

Cheryl is quitting cheerleading? Is she gonna quit Riverdale too?

"Something wicked this way comes" - Betty, 2017

NOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~ Juggie is leaving Riverdale~~~~~~~~~~ Damn you, meddling social workers!

Seriously, is Southside a thing in the comics? Southside High and all that?

Everyone has a darkness in them in this entire frickin Riverdale town, FP

It seems almost like Cheryl is trying to hint that she's actually leaving Riverdale (or maybe even this world)

Is it just me or the snow they're generating is a little too unnatural?

Wait, WTF? Betty has another sibling?? A brother?? Is that who that Chic Cooper everyone is talking about in Twitter??

A blond Adonis? More like a redhead, if the Blossom genes were any indication

Juggie is already in Southside High? With so much security detection at the door and stuff? He's gonna crack or go dark, I just know it

Looks more like a prison school for boys than a high school, if you ask me. And who is that long haired brunette cutie?

Juggie making friends with Southsiders already? Wow, I'm impressed :O

Archie? Please don't do this, not when you already established a thing with Ronnie. You're not gonna have second thoughts about your feelings for Betty :C

Am I calling it right now? Is Cheryl really gonna off herself?

The Famous Four, together, just like in the comics. Such a sight to behold. Oh god, they've witnessed one Blossom twin dead, they're not about to allow another

Trying to imagine this scenario of the Famous Four trying to save Cheryl in comics form right now...

Ouch, that must hurt a ton on those knuckles, though prolly you won't feel it coz of the adrenaline rush and the cold

Are you sure, Arch? Are you sure Veronica will the soulmate, that she'll be The One? Or is Veronica right about your feelings for Betty? The wistful longing?

Throwback a little though: The way Cheryl and Mrs Blossom just gave up the man of the house so easily is just kinda...too simple, isn't it? Makes me kinda suspect that maybe they killed him and make it look like a suicide? I wouldn't put it past them

Looks like Josie and the Pussycats are just gonna do what they wanna do, despite the mayor's intentions. Sticking it up to the (wo)man!

Juggie going to a foster family. Mai boi~ It's so wrong~

I hate to admit it, but with Juggie's temperament in this incarnation, I think he'd pretty fit right in

Jughead is a survivor, and he always will be, even if Riverdale implodes on itself #BelieveinJughead

75 years of Riverdale? Wow, is that how long the comic has been around, or just this incarnation?

Everyone is sticking it up to the (wo)man today in this Jubilee LOL

Preach, Betty Cooper! Preach!

A toast to the Famous Four! Milkshakes galore!

KILL IT WITH FIRE, CHERYL!

"I love you, Betty Cooper" - Jughead, 2017; "Jughead Jones, I love you" - Betty, 2017 #feelsoftheyear

The Famous Four are getting lucky tonight~~ Finally, the yummy nasty side of Riverdale~~

Wait, wait, Hot Dog?? Belonging to the Serpents??

Jughead becoming a Serpent? Colour me impressed but I still worry for the future ahead, though if it's Juggie, he can weather it through #BelieveinJughead

Well, at least two of the Famous Four got lucky =3=

MOTHERFUCKER!! YOU MOTHERFUCKER!! YOU GONNA END THIS SEASON LIKE THIS?! MOTHERFUCKER!!

**deep breath... deep breath...**

Alright, peeps. This is my comments so far from my binge watch marathon of Riverdale.

Overall, it's a rather big of a roller coaster ride with feels and emotions all over the place. Heard that Riverdale has reached up to Season 5 at this point, but from what I hear of reviews from other people, the story might've dragged a little and has gotten too tedious to follow, so... I may or may not try to follow the series, when I have the time and patience for it.

There are so many things you can say about Mädchen Amick. Actress, director, producer, free spirit, artist, muse and that just describes her career over the last 3 decades. Mädchen has a true artistic view as a creator. Having just celebrated her 49th birthday we talk; body, work ethic and of course one of her hit shows, RIVERDALE.

Mädchen started her career with Elite Models at 14 years old. Along with modeling, she was also a dancer and never had issues with her body. When she is working she is a free spirit, she says, “ just cut around my bits.”

“I have always just thought that clothing was optional, especially now as I am getting older I want to embrace my body, celebrate it. I am proud of my age and I love all of my wrinkles.”

- Mädchen Amick

As a woman comfortable in her skin, she’s been open to many creative opportunities, but it hasn’t always ended well. Mädchen was filming a movie with the incredible James Spader directed by the legendary Nicholas Kazan. She and Nicholas had a very comfortable relationship even though there was a lot of nudity and although everything was professional during the filming process, some of the content that was released was anything but professionally handled. When the film was released the directors cut was beautiful and sensual and comfortable. But much to her surprise the producers did their own release and didn’t edit any of the original nudity. She felt violated. “ I don’t have inhibitions, but I didn’t feel good about that”. When asked about her feelings in the #TIMESUP movement, the actress says you just have to speak up. “ I always talk about everything and I always tell everyone on set what I am making, that’s how you even out the playing field”. Aside from the creative process, Mädchen shares her experiences with the financial aspects of being an actress. She learned about money in the entertainment business early from her mentor, David Lynch, the creator of one of televisions most memorable tv shows, TWIN PEAKS. “David always told me actors are unemployed 99% of the time, make your money last”. When talking about her career and TWIN PEAKS, Mädchen lights up. “To be on a hit tv show like TWIN PEAKS at the beginning of my career was unbelievable and now to be on 2 hit shows in my career is just amazing. I feel so lucky that lightning has struck twice.” Of course, she is talking about her newest CW hit show, RIVERDALE.

Mädchen’s tone changed when we started talking about RIVERDALE. Number 1 because she feels so blessed that it has become such a huge hit, with their highest-rated episode beginning in season 3. But also because of the loss of her dear friend, Luke Perry. I could feel her hurt. “Luke and I were real friends. I still reach for my phone every time I land back in Vancouver to go to dinner. He was my first phone call every time”. As many know legendary actor Luke Perry played Archies’ dad, Fred Andrews on the hit show. Perry at the age of 52 died suddenly from a stroke. “Luke was an old soul, and not only was he a father to his own children he was the father to our cast of kids. Luke would text me all the time and say, hey, you need to talk to the girls, they need advice”. Mädchen and Luke had a lot of career milestones in common, they both hit young. With the actress becoming an overnight success with her role in TWIN PEAKS and Perry’s role in BEVERLY HILLS 90210. Then they both decided that they wanted more normal lives. Mädchen adds, “it’s difficult to achieve a hit once in your career and then both Luke and I achieved 2.” She remembers that dreadful night of his sudden death like it was yesterday. KJ Apa, Archie Andrews, and Luke Perrys’ son on the show were on set and the entire cast and crew congregated to Mark Consuelos (Hiram Lodge, Veronica’s dad on the show) house. “ We cried and hugged for hours. We were devastated. He and I were Ma and Pa kettle to all these kids. We were all in shock. He is desperately missed”.

Despite the heartbreak of the beloved Luke Perry earlier this year, everyone has put on a brave face and is moving forward. Amick is becoming more involved with the RIVERDALE family but on the other side of the camera. “ I am thrilled to announce that I will be directing episode 19 of season 4 of RIVERDALE. I’m so thrilled to be working with the amazing creator of the show Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.” Mädchen has directed documentaries and music videos before but this is her first stab at RIVERDALE.

When I asked her what her goals are going into her FAB FIFTIES she just laughed. ”I never want to take no for an answer. Watch out world I am here to conquer! I just want to keep working, loving my fabulous husband I have been married to for 32 years and continue to grow in my life and career, I gotta keep it sexy!” Now you can see why I titled her story BADASS.

PS readers…

I wanted to have fun with Mädchen. I asked her to play a game of word association with her cast from RIVERDALE. This is what we came up with….

KJ Apa: fiery Lily Reinhart: delicious Skeet Ulrich: playful Charles Melton: oooooh, mischievous Camilla Mendes: sassy Madelaine Petsch: a force Vanessa Morgan: an old soul Luke Perry: otherworldly

Be sure to watch RIVERDALE on the CW, check your local listings.

Tell us how you'd write fp different from season one if u were in control 📝

ultimately id probably keep season one the same if we’re still keeping it r*verdale and not... parentdale lmao because then that becomes an entirely different show

but i do think he couldve been utilized a little more like we couldve done some things there.

first and foremost im making that bitch GAY and yes that is very important to his character but i dont need to tell you that. but the layers that would add bitch! the layers! oh but i also wouldve given him and hermione/the lodges a proper backstory because that shit was not explored okay like i made a post about it before how all these people went to school together and then hiram randomly calls fp up one day cuz he needs a plot of land cheapened by his presence ksjgbkjbg and then add on the whole thing with fp hermione and fred. bisexual love triangle i would like to see.

OH and i would like to see his relationship with the serpents explored more i need to see him actually being a leader and making deals and running shit PLUS how joaquin came to be his like.... second in command i mean i know he was being used to seduce kevin but i really need that backstory too lmfao i need to see that conversation and honestly i think fp pulled that from his own experiences like i can 100% see fp in his younger days having to flirt his way through some situations just to gain some knowledge about whatever. but ALSO!!!! if we had a parallel of fp seducing fred to get info for hiram and fp first agreeing to it cuz hes still pissed at fred but then shit gets complicated because obviously hes still in love with him and then fp starts feeling bad and then oh no fred finds out just when he was starting to maybe open himself up to the idea of being with fp again..... we truly couldve done so much. and then you have freds slutty ass being caught betwen his ex girlfriend and ex boyfriend while also being sad about his ex wife still. so much drama

its really not until season 2 that his character fucking derails. I WANTED TO SEE HIM ACTUALLY IN PRISON! HIM RUNNING THE YARD! PRISON FIGHTS! SEXY!

i would have liked an actual sobriety arc. he said he got sober in prison and was attending meetings and then poof. that ended immediately. and fine. we could keep that but like... at least show the struggle and the guilt over it ya know? also he did not struggle nearly enough for coming out of prison for DUMPING A DEAD TEENAGER IN A RIVER like that town truly shouldve been on his ass about that theres no WAY him working at pops wouldnt have caused a scene.

like my main problem with fp as a character is that he truly never suffers any consequences for anything but also hes written to have all these problems that are never dealt with or remotely explored. and for as much as i would love for that bitch to get some therapy i also realize its not entirely realistic for him as a character and thats fine! but i want to see him struggle i want to see him actually acknowledge he has demons to face and work at them in his own way and both fail and succeed.

ultimately what it all comes down to is he wasnt written as a person. which.... no one on this show is. they all just tick their little boxes of stereotypes and caricatures and its very annoying. if youre gonna give fp a drinking problem, show it! not just him passed out on the couch but him actually struggling. show him trying to get better and doing good for a while only to relapse, show how he actively has to make the choice every day not to drink. have him apologize to the people he hurt. let us see the actual damage it did to not just him but those around him.

give him relationships with other people that are fleshed out and actually matter. the fact that he never once checked in on fred after he was shot is INSANE to me. gladys was only ever used as throwaway lines that never went anywhere. he had an entire daughter he presumably never tried getting in contact with based on her reaction to see him again like....but yet he has her name tattooed over his heart? so either that was a hollow gesture to appease his own mind or he actually deeply loves her but was so ashamed of himself and what caused gladys to leave that he couldnt even pick up the phone to call them. SHOW ME THESE THINGS!

show us what the serpents meant to him as a kid who got thrown out by his father at 16 and found a family in them instead. show us why he wound up back there after fred fired him. show us why hes so bonded to them. hell, even if he just went back out of desperation because times were hard and no one else would hire him and he needed that easy money.... fucking explore that shit!

show us him forming these relationships with the younger gay serpents because hes got all this baggage from his own upbringing and he has a soft spot for kids like him and wants to protect them, even if it is through a drug running gang. show us that abuse fucks up your perception of love and how to do it but its all he knows so hes working with what hes got.

fp honestly works best as a tragic character. trying to do good but he can never quite make it. always drawn to shadier things because ultimately its what he knows and its where he feels safe. but he wants to be better at the same time! he just truly cannot help himself. and thats what needed to be explored more with him but not in a way that romanticized it. like he really is a fucked up person when you break him down and the fact we were all supposed to look at him as the hero or something is so bizarre to me and it never worked because we were expected to just forget everything he was.

hes not an evil guy either hes just deeply misguided because thats just the shit he grew up in and he doesnt know anything else. except for fred and what he saw with the andrews and that shouldve been an important relationship like they really couldve played on how opposite fred and fp are and used that to a narrative advantage, them being best friends. theres SO MUCH to be done with that but fuck me i guess.

idk i just always think about how fun fp wouldve been if they had just let him indulge in his devious ways like theres no way fp jones wouldve ever taken a cop job seriously and not used it to his own advantage. theres no way he wouldve been that bent out of shape about gladys running drugs when hes done SO MUCH worse. we shouldve gotten more scamming against hiram and him and hermione being in cahoots.

like hes a street rat. he will always be a street rat. he cannot shake this. fucking play with that! indulge in it! have fun! have him settle down with his husband but he still cant stop himself from living on the fringe of the law

#i went on a whole nonsensical tangent lmfao #it just pisses me off what fp couldve been!#fp jones #briana answers things

bodysuits for bughead riverdale 4x07 podcast

The latest @bodysuitsforbughead podcast, Riverdale 4x07 - “Chapter Sixty-Four: The Ice Storm” is up! Listen now: Spotify | Apple | Stitcher | SoundCloud

“I know other things are gonna be happening, and I’ll watch them and stuff, but I am here for Bughead having sexy times, cuddly times, and investigative times. You know, the Big Three?” -Maria

It’s Thanksgiving in Riverdale—the wind’s a-blowin’ and an ice storm’s a-comin’, Hiram somehow became mayor overnight, Cheryl and Toni have a body to hide, and Archie’s just tryna feed some homeless kids to live out his late father’s legacy of good deeds! We cannot get enough of the snowed-in, investigative Bughead plotline pulled straight from a fanfic with badass Betty to boot, and we fully believed that Cheryl and Toni actually tricked the Blossom relatives into cannibalism for a good portion of the ep. Darla is Kelly’s problematic fave, Mary Andrews and Veronica Lodge are total badasses, and we have so many theories and thoughts about the deep, richy-rich Stonewall conspiracy that Bret and Donna are TOTALLY helping DuPont hide. Also, serious unanswered question: where the fuck are Jellybean, Juniper, and Dagwood???

Bodysuit looks below!

Maria and Kelly both wore cozy looks in honor of snowed-in Bughead: Kelly with a ponytail, very soft faux-fur jacket, and sweat jeans, and Maria with cozy pink cord pants and sweater, but a black & pink bodysuit for the cozy times turning into sexy times, as they do. (“Best progression you could ever have.”)

New Girl

Jughead Jones x Reader

Prompt: No prompt!

Word Count: 2.5k exactly

Warnings: really affectionate Jughead which is kinda out of character for him.

A huge thanks to @sophrosynth for editing this mess of a piece of writing. If it weren’t for them then we wouldn’t have this amazing piece that I’m producing for you all!

——

It was a bright summer's day when you arrived in the small town with pep. The scene was picture perfect; the grass was green and there were people having fun, little kids eating ice cream and running around on old playground equipment, neighbors having conversations, and people petting dogs in the street. It almost seemed wrong for you to be there.

Holmes Private Investigators was your parents’ business. That had taken you to every dark and almost evil town in America, searching for bad guys like the Scooby Doo gang, as you said when you were little. It wasn’t the normal life for a growing child, but it was how it had been from the very beginning.

But this time they made you a promise. They promised they you weren’t going to leave Riverdale for a while, you’d finish high school before they left. They promised that because not even some of the best detectives in the country could figure out what was going on in this ‘devil town’. So they threw their hat in the ring and decided they would go investigate, and because you were about to go into your junior year, you were dragged along with them.

The boxes started to pile up in the lounge room. Your father was carrying them in and your mother was unpacking them while you were looking around for your stuff. It was nearly impossible to find anything due to the fact there was so much stuff.

“Honey, we’re new here, go explore. We are going to be here a long time, so might as well get on it.” You had to roll your eyes.

It wasn’t your parents fault. It was just the fact that you didn’t believe that you’d be here for longer than a year, at the most. No matter how many promises they made, nothing could change your mind. You had always been on the move and that’s how you liked it.

“I heard there was a good 50s themed diner nearby. Maybe you should go check it out. There could be someone your age there, you never know.” She had a large smile on her face. You could never say no to that smile.

You sighed. “Sure thing, Mum. I’ll be back soon.” You gave her a quick kiss on the check before heading out.

A smile was stuck on your face from the moment you saw the diner. It was colourful and neon and everything you wanted in a authentic 1950s themed diner. The small bell rung as you pushed the glass door open it. A few people looked at you and gave you small smiles, others gave you confused glares. /‘That must be what small town people did when someone new came into town’/, you thought silently to yourself as you took a seat in a free booth.

People around you were eating and talking as if this place was home, and it probably was home for a lot them. The longest you had ever stayed in one place was about a year, and everyday during that year, you’d go to a little cafe near the school. That place became your home, just like this place was everyone else’s.

You pushed the palms of your hands against the cold table of the booth. A older man came over to you. Just from he way he was dress you could tell he worked there.

“I’m Pop, are you new? I haven’t seen you ‘round here before.” He smiled nicely as he spoke, you nodded in response.

“So, new girl, what will you be having?” He pulled a little notepad and a pen out, ready to take your order.

“I’ll have the, um, the fries, please? You serve fries here, right?” You asked anxiously. It was weird how sudden you became anxious but you pushed it away as you spoke to Pop. You couldn’t be anxious around Pop, he seemed like that kind of old person.

“We sure do!” He smiled again. “I’ll be back in a minute with your fries.”

A smile played along your lips as Pop walked back to the kitchen. As time slowly started to tick by, your mind began to wonder. At first, it was just about the house and if you’d be able to figure out where all your posters would go. Then you started to think about the summer ending and going back to a new school. And most of all, if you’d meet anyone that would like you, as a friend. Relationships, after all, were never really your thing.

No matter how many different places or schools you went to, you never worried about school. After about the first four times being the new kid, you learnt that people were usually pretty accepting. But that was the big city. This was the first time that you had started at a town this small, and you could tell the way stuff works here is different. Everyone knows everyone, and from a very young age, you know who you like, and who you don’t. That wasn’t the city life in anyway at all.

The ring of the door brought you out of your thoughts. A young man that looked to be about your age entered the restaurant. You got a weird feeling, one that you never had before. Maybe it was the way he had his hair all sexy and unruly. Or maybe it was the leather jacket that he had hanging off his back. Or maybe it was the way his eyes seemed to sparkle and your heart seemed to flutter when he looked at you for the first time.

“Hey.” He smiled at you, making his way over to where you were sitting. His hand was placed gently on the back of the other side of the booth. He nodded his head to get a piece of lose hair out his face.

“Hi.” A small sigh came out as you spoke. One of your hands held your head up calmly while the other softy tapped a beat on the table.

“May I?” He nodded his head lightly towards the booth, indicating that he wanted to take a seat. That lose piece of hair fell back onto his forehead again.

“Oh, yeah, totally.” You nodded your head to get you out of your dream-like state. This boy had put some sort of trance over you.

He slid into the booth across from you. He intertwined his pale fingers and looked down on the white table. His black leather jacket, that had a large embroidered snake on the back of it, was laid neatly next to him. His back started to hunch slightly as he leaned forward on the table.

A few of your nimble fingers ran through your hair. You sat up with your back almost straight. Your loose short sleeved shirt was almost falling off, it started to show off the thick straps of your swimsuit top that you were wearing.

“Not to sound totally cliche but I haven’t seen you around here before.“ He laughed lightly at his words, and so did you.

“Yeah, I’m um, I’m new. I got here really late yesterday and all our stuff arrived this morning.” There was a weight off your back to talk to him about moving, it was something that you never really did. It was always just ‘I’m the new girl’ and that was the end of the story. And what’s more is this boy, this really hot boy, was just listening to you talk about moving. That was something that no one ever did. You started to think that you might just like it in this small town.

“I’m Jughead, by the way.” It took a lot not to laugh when he said that. But when he didn’t laugh after saying you felt bad.

“Oh, you’re being serious? I’m sorry.” A small amount of blush started to grow on your cheek from embarrassment. Your hands intertwined tightly on the table in front of you.

One of his pale hand reached out across the table and landed gently on yours. A soft smile danced on his lips as you looked up at him. His thumb rubbed calmly against your knuckles.

A tray of fries landed on the table next to your hands. A few fell out onto the table as both you and Jughead looked at to see Pop.

“Your fries, Miss.” Pop gave you one of his signature smiles before turning and looking at Jughead.

“Jughead not bothering you, is he Miss? He does it quite a lot.” Pop sighed lightly while he turned back to you, waiting for you to answer his question.

Your eyes quickly glanced to Jughead who had turned almost completely red. One of his hands covered part of his face while the other tugged at his odd looking beanie that you’re just noticing resembled a crown.

“He’s no bother, Pop. Thanks for asking and for the fries.” You just stared at Jughead true whole time you spoke. Pop nodded and smiled at the young love he was witnessing before leaving again.

The two of you started to slowly eat away at the fries you ordered and talk about whatever came to mind. Time seemed to slip away from you as you jumped from topic to topic. It was obvious that he felt the same.

“So, you move around a lot? What do your parents do to make that happen?” He put the last fry in his mouth after he asked.

A wave of nervousness hit you like a bullet. He wasn’t being intrusive, not at all, but it was just that you weren’t allowed to talk about your parents jobs. If people found out then they wouldn’t get any information from anyone anywhere.

“Oh, I’m not allowed to say.” He looked kind of shocked when you said that. “It’s a long story.”

“Secrets don’t last long in Riverdale. I hate to tell ya, but whatever your parents do won’t be a secret for much longer.”

There was a lively look in his eyes and a adventurous smirk slowly growing on his face. This boy was as strange as the town.

“Well,” you leaned forward and he did too. You could feel his hot breath on your face and it sent a shiver down your spine.

“They’re private investigators. They’re here getting information on Hiram Lodge and the town itself after recent activity.” He looked shocked. It was obvious that you came from interesting work, but private investigators? That never even crossed his mind for a second.

His face was so close to yours. If you moved just a inch closer... You needed to snap out of it. A moment ago you were revealing one of your family’s biggest secrets and now you're thinking about kissing a boy. But thinking about him felt better then thinking about how you just betrayed your family’s trust.

The sun was only just starting to set and your curfew wasn’t for another few hours. This day at Pops’ with Jughead was the best introduction into a new place you have ever had and he still wouldn’t leave.

“Do you want to go out? Like on a ride, I’ve got a motorcycle and a spare helmet. I’d love to show you around.”

Your heartbeat started to speed up as he spoke. It had been a few years since you had ridden a motorcycle and the thought of having your arms wrapped around him the way you had to, it was a dream come true and you didn’t have to wish for it.

“Sure thing, Jug.” He smiled brightly and accepted the nickname you were trying out.

“Do you want to pay for your fries and I’ll start up the bike?” He stood up and threw on his jacket. You could clearly see that it had ‘Southside Serpents’ written around the green snake that was coiled on it. It was clear that it was for some sort of gang but you were too head over heels that you couldn’t care at that moment.

You nodded your head in response and stood up. Your sneakers squeaked slightly as you walked up to the counter.

The smile on your face only grew as he looked at you one more time. Your eyes followed him as he exited the diner and while you waited to pay for your food. You could hear the low rumble of the motorcycle as Pop arrived at the counter.

“He’s a, uh, he’s a nice kid, that Jughead.” The suddenness of Pop speaking made you jump out of your skin.

“Oh really? That’s good.” /‘But he also seems like kind of a bad boy,”/ you thought to yourself. A naughty smirk danced on your lips for a moment. You handed Pop the few dollars that you owed for the fries.

“A diamond in the rough, you might say.” He laughed lightly as he put the money in the register.

“Be sure to come back soon.” Pop said as you started to leave.

“I plan too, don’t worry, Pop,” you smiled back at him. A cool breeze hit you as you opened the doors and reentered the outside world.

Jughead smiled up at you as you made your way slowly down the stairs. He had a helmet with a white, carved crown that stuck out from the blackness of it as well as another plain one under his arm. He was sitting seductively on the front of the motorcycle. Leaning back with his hands loosely holding the handlebars and his his leg out, holding up the whole bike.

The colours of the sunset behind him really made him glow. It made him look more relax and somehow even more sexy than before. His black locks stuck out from his pale face. He was a beautiful mess.

His eyes seemed to glow when he looked at you. There was always a small smile when you looked at him even though he dressed very darkly. He was nothing like guys anywhere else you had been before. He was so much /better/ than all of them, in every way possible.

“You ready for a ride?” He threw you there helmet and somehow by sheer dumb luck, you actually caught it. You put it one and tightened it appropriately.

“As I’ll ever be.” One of your legs went over the bike and you sat down. Soon your arms were snaked around Jughead’s waist.

“Hold on tight.” He yelled as the engine revved and the bike took off out of Pops parking lot.

House after house passed by and you just sunk your head deeper into his jacket. The smell of leather had worn and now had a masculine musk to it. It was relaxing for you, to just sit with your arms around the boy, driving through the town he had obviously lived in his whole life.

Maybe life in Riverdale wouldn’t be as bad as you first thought it to be. At least not with him around.

Sweetvee 41&61

I’ve been working on this one for four nights, I hope you like it, xx

Please continue to sent requests from this list of prompt!

41. “Who the hell do you think you are? My dad?”

61. “I’ve had enough.”

It was mid December when Veronica Lodge walked in the Whyte Wyrm looking, white snowflakes covering her black cape. She removed her hood and kicked the snow off her heeled boots. Her dark brown eyes scanned the bar, searching for a familiar blonde head but, she wasn’t present.

The raven haired girl sighed discouragingly. She had been searching for her best friend all night and the Wyrm was the last place on her list.

Where are you Betty?

“I think your chauffeur took the wrong direction.”

“Excuse me?”

“Northside is opposite way, Princess.”

Veronica turned around, catching sight of a very tall Serpent. “Sweet Pea,” she acknowledged.

“Mobster Princess.”

Usually, Veronica would’ve chuckled at the dark humor but, not tonight. Her night had been eventful and she didn’t have the heart for a laugh.

It took Sweet Pea one glance at the rich girl for him to catch on that something was up. He gave his cue stick to another Serpent and made his way over to her.

Sweet Pea wouldn’t call her a friend but she was definitely not a stranger. He had seen her before in the halls at school and at Jughead’s birthday party and always thought she was an uptight rich bitch that didn’t think farther than the tip of her nose. It was the vibe he got from her. His opinion changed when he found her crying in her fancy dress outside the school at Homecoming.

The reason of her tears: Archie Andrews.

That idiot had been making out with Valerie Brown backstage after his musical number and Kevin had caught them. Being the loyal friend he was, he immediately told Veronica about her boyfriend’s tongue jumping the fence.

Sweet Pea had sat with her on the cement stairs and let her cry on his shoulder, his unfinished cigarette crushed by his feet. He wasn’t good at comforting people and had no idea what to do but he couldn’t leave her by herself.

“Fuck him. It’s his loss if he want to trade a ten for a six.”

Later than night, they ended up hooking up in his trailer.

“Is everything okay?” Sweet Pea stood in front of her, raising a worried brow.

Veronica looked up and smiled tightly. “Yeah. I’m good.”

“Bullshit.”

She opened her mouth to argue but closed it. He already knew she was lying.

Eyes were on them as they stood in the middle of the Serpent bar. Her raven hair and the pearls around her neck gave her identity away. Or, maybe it was the fancy handbag resting in the crevice of her elbow.

Sweet Pea put a hand behind her lower back and led her to the bar, taking the attention away from them. “Want anything?” he asked her.

“The strongest you have.”

“We’ll take two shot of vodka and another beer,” he told Hog Eye.

The man nodded and poured their drinks, handing them to the young Serpent. Sweet Pea took the drinks in his hands and led Veronica to an empty table at the back of the bar. They sat down and Veronica immediately reached for the shot glass, downing its content without grimacing.

“What did Andrews do again?”

Veronica knitted her eyebrows. “How did you-”

“When is Andrews not the reason why you’re upset?”

“Thouché.”

“So,” Sweet Pea started, taking a sip of his beer. “What brought the mobster princess on snake territory?”

Chuckling, Veronica removed her cape coat, revealing a black top with an embellished collar. “It’s over. Archie and I. I came here in hope to find Betty but, clearly, she isn’t here.”

“Until when this time? Monday morning?” he joked, knowing Archie and Veronica always get back together despite their several breakups.

“No. I mean it this time. I’ve had enough. Archie is a boy, he’ll never change his juvenile attitude. We went on a movie date at the Bijou tonight and his phone went off during the movie. Moodkill, I know. I thought it was Jughead or his dad but no, it was a notification from Tinder. I almost let it slide because, maybe he had made a profile we were broken up and forgot to delete the app but then, I realized you don’t get notifications from people who swiped right unless you pay for the app. So, he’s still paying although we are dating. You’re probably thinking he’s done fucking up for the night but, listen closely, it gets worse. He opened the damn notification right there, in the middle of our date. This is totally unacceptable. I was furious.”

Out of all the shitty things Archie has done, checking Tinder during a date was probably the worse. It was beyond disrespectful toward Veronica - his girlfriend. To her, the betrayal hurt more than all the times he cheated on her behind her back. At least, then, she didn’t have to witness her boyfriend smiling at whatever that bitch on the other side was writing.

“Andrews really surpassed himself this time, uh.” Sweet Pea laughed at the Bulldog’s lack of brain, shaking his head. “I can’t believe he opened Tinder right in front of you. It’s like he’s silently saying you’re his side bitch.”

Talking about the beast, Veronica’s phone went off, Archie’s name flashing on the screen. She flipped the device over and ignored it. She tried to but, Archie didn’t get the hint and kept calling again and again which infuriated Veronica.

She sighed dramatically. “Oh my god, will he ever stop?”

“He might have orange hair, he’s not the brightest crayon of the box.”

Veronica stifled a laugh, smirk curving on the Serpent’s lips.

“This is it. He’s gonna have a taste of his own money.” She grabbed her phone and for a second, Sweet Pea though she was giving in and answering Archie’s call, she pulled it up in front of the Serpent. “Please, hold the pose,” she said, and snapped a picture, adding a cute filter and posting it on Instagram with the caption: ‘fun night with my new bae’, knowing Archie has her social medias notifications turned on. “Should’ve known not to mess with a Lodge.”

She knew Archie despised Serpents but, mostly their guard dog Sweet Pea. The two strong headed teenagers had gotten into quite a few fights together over the past year. Jughead had tried his best to keep the peace between the two clans but, he couldn’t do miracles. They even got souvenirs from their opponent. A scar below the eye for Sweet Pea and a chipped tooth for Archie. The rivalry between the two sides of town is nothing new but, ever since they merged the two schools together, both boys started a secret contest for the most powerful alpha and, needless to say, it didn’t impress anyone. If anything, it got them to spend more time together in detention.

“I bet if we go outside we’ll see him fuming from here.”

She watched as Sweet Pea took another sip of his beer, his shot of vodka still untouched in front of him. “Are you going to take it?” The Serpent hummed. “The shot.”

“I intended to, yes.”

“I’ll go get myself another round, then.”

The raven haired girl stood and headed to the bar to order more drinks. A minute later, she come back to she and Sweet Pea’s table with a crimson colored cosmo.

“I thought you were getting more shots?”

“It’s coming,” she replied with a fierce smile, glancing back at the bar.

Sweet Pea followed her gaze, seeing Hog Eye pouring what seemed to be tequila in several shot glasses which was much less forgiving than vodka. Both will get you drunk pretty fast; vodka will make dance on tables for a few minutes before ending with your head down the toilet while tequila will increase your bad decisions and you’ll wake up in the morning, having no clue what happened the night before.

“Not to pop your bubble but, I’m not drinking any more shots. I need to take my bike home.”

Hog Eye deposed the tray on their table and returned to the bar, flashing Sweet Pea a knowing look. The younger Serpent ignored it. He could bet his life that more than half the population of the Wyrm expected him to take Hiram Lodge’s daughter back to his trailer tonight. They’re all gonna be disappointed because it wasn’t on tonight’s agenda. He wouldn’t oppose to having sex with Veronica but, it wasn’t what she needed tonight. She needed someone to listen to her rants and change her mind from the ginger Judas that is Archie Andrews.

She shrugged, picking one shot glass and downing it before biting into a piece of lime. “More for me.”

“You’re not drinking all of this.”

Veronica scoffed. “Who the hell do you think you are? My dad?”

In true Sweet Pea fashion, he would’ve responded with a dirty comeback like: ’Not yet’ or ’No, but I can be your daddy if you want’ but, he didn’t.

“Drowning your sorrows in alcohol isn’t the way to go. Been there, done that. You’ll feel like death tomorrow if you get shitfaced.”

Holding the Serpent’s gaze, Veronica tasted her cosmo. “Would you happen to have another solution to propose? I’m all ears,” she said, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth as she let her heeled boot crawling up Sweet Pea’s leg, stopping right by his crotch.

Sweet Pea hissed, grabbing hold of Veronica’s foot. “I wasn’t going to suggest it but…if that’s really what you want.” If she was looking for a rebound from Andrews, that was a role he’d willingly play. He had been looking for an occasion to bang her again ever since she left his bed the morning after Homecoming.

She grinned behind her drink, loving the grip the older boy had on her. One major thing she liked about sex with Sweet Pea was that he wasn’t afraid to be rough with her. Not too rough but just enough, something Archie was never willing to do.

Just like going down on her. The Bulldog was a selfish boy that clearly didn’t care enough about his partner to give her single pleasure.

Veronica wasn’t going to lie, the alcohol was starting to kick in, the mix of vodka and tequila feeling warm in her belly. She wasn’t drunk but, she had drank just enough to feel confident and sexy - more than usual.

“Shall we head out?” she asked, arching a perfectly plucked eyebrow. Sweet Pea let go of Veronica’s foot and slide out of his seat, waiting for the raven haired girl to do the same. She put her cape back on and downed the rest of her cosmo. “Lead the way.”
