old fashioned

Shift on a decade and a half and figure how far forward we go on "old fashioned things". They bring in some campaign buttons for 1940 and 1952, and an old television. Funny that we still have Mickey Mouse. Kind of.

Is there a subtle shift with "rules" getting downgraded to "ideas"?

An extra long story from "60 Magical Stories": "Super Duper Party Pooper" by Dick Malmgren and Jon D'Agostino, from Archie's T.V. Laugh Out #1 (December, 1969)!

Here's our first look at orange Salem and Cousin Ambrose, back when he was grown up! And a fun story to boot! Sabrina has officially transitioned to her "I just want to be normal" phase, and you can't not feel bad for her as she tries to fit in! Thankfully, Ambrose stops Hilda from ruining the party with The Archies!

Sure, here’s a positive and constructive review for “Red Sonja and Vampirella Meet Betty and Veronica” #4 for Goodreads:

---

** Review for "Red Sonja and Vampirella Meet Betty and Veronica" #4**

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars)

"Red Sonja and Vampirella Meet Betty and Veronica" #4 continues to bring the worlds of Riverdale and fantasy together in a fun, lighthearted crossover.

It's clear that a lot of effort went into crafting this series, and it shines through in the dynamic interactions between the characters. If you're a fan of the classic Archie comics and looking for a lighthearted adventure, I would recommend giving this series a read. It's a delightful mash-up that promises to entertain.

Archie Comics to release Chilling Adventures: The Anthology Collection

The Archie Comics horror imprint has been killing it (literally) for a decade now! Starting with the debut of AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE, which made global news for destroying Riverdale in a gory zombie apocalypse, the publisher’s iconic characters have been beset by werewolves, vampires, demons, and witches ever since, via new mini-series and one-shots exploring the darker side of the Town With Pep.…

HIII HIHIIHI I MADE AN ARCHIE AU!!!!! i read the comics obsessively as a kid and have a collection of the digests so you know your girl had to combine them. yn is archie and sun is betty and moon is veronica ofc. except their personalities dont really align (i didnt want to make moon a stereotypical rich girl) so its basically just like teen romance shenanigans from the 1950s. they are silly i love them

also chica is jughead btw

expending on the mlm pricefield thing (and i’m not talking about double exposure anymore), i think if pricefield had been one of the first mlm pairing to be openly queer in video games history, it would’ve been way more of a big deal back when the game was released and years later. i also think little to no people would be debating whether their relationship is platonic or not, and people would’ve been way faster at jumping to the conclusion that you were homophobic if you thought they were.

historically, the most popular mlm pairings (i’m thinking johnlock, kirk and spock from star trek, merlin and arthur, all the h*rry p*tter and marvel gay ships) have a way bigger fanbase and are way less denied than the wlw ones (i’m thinking supercop, emma swan and regina mills, betty and veronica from riverdale etc). (for the record, i looked up “queerbaiting” to make this post and have examples, and found like a dozens of mlm pairings and always the same few wlw ones…) AND it is way more socially acceptable to say “those two women have a platonic relationship” whereas, if you do the same with johnlock, for instance, you WILL get an angry twenty paragraphs long reply about how there was nothing platonic about it (even though John Watson married a woman).

my point is not “he married a woman so he wasn’t queer” my point is, whenever one part of a wlw pairing has a boyfriend, or a man who she shows a glimpse of interest in (*cough cough* Warren Graham *cough cough*), it is IMMEDIATELY used as ‘evidence’ that this character cannot be queer since she can be in a heterosexual relationship — which is an argument that, again, you will practically never find directed at a gay ship. and, again, the few people who do use this argument against mlm pairings are called ‘homophobic’.

AGAIN, i am not saying that you cannot ship Warren and Max or are homophobic if you do, i’m saying that if Chloe and Max had been two guys, people would’ve been so focused on them, on Max’s diary’s entries, and the two possible kisses they can share onscreen, and the flirting and implications in their relationship, and Chloe’s obvious attraction to Max, that grahamfield would’ve had a way smaller fanbase — or no fanbase at all. and people would’ve absolutely disregarded the fact that you can make Max romance Warren (who is a girl in this scenario). they would’ve seen Warren’s nearly one-sided flirting, and would’ve immediately gone “she (Warren) is in love with him (Max) and he doesn’t give a fuck” (and the kiss in the Two Whales would’ve been collectively ignored by the entire fandom, as is Mary Watson, or Pepper Potts, or Tonks, or Ginny Weasley).

but BECAUSE Max and Chloe are girls, people are still debating whether she is even queer or not by saying “if i make her romance Warren she experiences no attraction towards Chloe and therefore is straight” which is false, because the attraction is HERE. all you, as a player, get to decide is whether or not Max acts on it. and no matter how much evidence there is that Max is indeed romantically interested in Chloe, you will NEVER convince those people, because to them, the moment a woman and a guy interact in a non-platonic way, this woman has to end up with said guy, no matter how queer-coded her relationship with another woman is.

and now that pricefield is broken up, people who would’ve been rioting if it had been guys are calling people who are rightfully upset ‘dramatic’. just try and imagine the reaction of the Sherlock fandom if Sherlock was returning without Watson because “they argued off-screen and decided to stop seeing each other”. those guys aren’t childhood best friends, are never romantically involved, their fandom hasn’t been begging to have a glimpse of them together for ten years, and yet i can’t even imagine how angry people would be. all this fandom was asking was to at least not destroy Max and Chloe’s friendship, and look where we are now.

it ain't me babe

From It Ain't Me Babe, precursor to Wimmen's Comix, written by the "Ain't Me Babe Basement Collective", including the late Trina Robbins. Neither Betty or Veronica made the cover.

Andddd we're back! Here we go with our first Lil' Sabrina story, "Monkey Business" (Lil' Archie #74, October 1972)! Lil' Sabrina feels like such a lovable scamp, I wonder if these stories inspired "Sabrina The Animated Series"!

[followtheechoes]

just watched the riverdale finale. keep in mind that I watched season 1 and the first couple episodes of season 2 and then abandoned ship. I do not know character names for new characters. I'm also kind of curious if the gang exists anymore and if so what place they have in the 1950s timeline

Roxy loves Stephen Sprouse—or at least, someone on the Jem design team loved to dress her in his style! I think it’s even possible that Roxy’s look was influenced by Debbie Harry, a close friend and muse of Sprouse.

Earlier, I shared a Dep hair gel ad that I found in US Vogue which features an outfit that reminds me of Roxy’s arrows vest look. The vest itself is by Sprouse and features graffiti-style arrows.

Roxy’s original look, with the pink and green pants, seems to draw from Sprouse's work as well. It looks like it comes from his AW 1984 collection, which had graffiti-style lettering on vibrant silks, sometimes covered with transparent sequins. This mix of glamour and punk feels like a perfect fit for The Misfits.

I see the 2013 Integrity Toys Roxy doll as an homage to the sequins that Sprouse used frequently in his designs:

A Jem fan friend of mine really wanted their doll to look more cartoon-accurate, so in 2014 I made them a scattered lettered version of Roxy's original pants in faux leather:

In Jan 2021, in a Jem fan group on Facebook, a Jem fan (Krista) shared a screenshot from the David Lee Roth music video "Just a Gigolo,” where Roxy’s inspo pants make an appearance. Another fan in the group (Heather) immediately identified the pants as Sprouse pants, saying they always wanted a pair. Here’s a gif I made of the video:

Here’s another fun fact: Sprouse's influence expanded to the Archie universe as well. Here's a scan I did of a 1985 comic book I bought a couple years ago:

A character named Dexter creates colourful graffiti-sprawled outfits for Betty and Veronica for their upcoming Archies tour.
