i think the biggest obstacle between me and writing any sort of fiction is that my brain REQUIRES me to understand EVERY MINUTE DETAIL of literally everything. i can't just have my urban/historical fantasy 1950s gangsters smoking cigars in a room because i need to understand the entire culture behind cigars, the time and place in which one would smoke them, the daily life of a gangster, whether this takes place in europe or america, if there where gangsters during that time period, are my characters even gangsters? what exactly is the name of the aesthetic im picturing? how do i find out? i've been calling it a "gentleman" aesthetic but like i can't exactly google that. also how does the social and cultural and economic dynamics of the time influence what these characters are concerned with and talking about. how does magic affect this
and then instead of googling and putting in the work to understand and develop the world and story i just dont

Lokius fic recs
I was requested to make a list of my lokius fic recs, so here are ten some that have lived in my brain rent free since i read them (in order of descending wordcount)
Rising from the Ashes by Insert_Witty_User_Name_Here (119k)
written after s1, this is basically a whole novel of what s2 could've been like. And it's phenomenal. There's 27 chapters, but i was reading it as each one was released over the course of 4 months, and it was a whole rollercoaster. You'll find yourself siding with some characters at some times and then the others the other times. You read it and even you are unsure of which side you're on. If you have the time, definitely read this.
Fit the Profile by WaterHorseyBlues (77k)
A detective AU. Someone is trying to assassinate Loki for his inheritance, and Mobius is the private detective on the case. I won't say much, but this is a must read, and probably one of the classic fics in this fandom
Another Prince by drunkbedelia (14k)
canon divergence from s1e3. I don't know how to explain this one except it straight up vibes. Loki and Sylvie are chaotic siblings. Sylvie is scheming around (and def ships loki and mobius). This is one of those fics that would also be considered a classic here.
As You Find the String by athousandteeth (12k)
a s2 fix it (but don't think there isn't suffering before it pays off). The characters are incredibly written and one line in this literally changed how i view life itself
Six Feet Closer by lonelyhourglass47 (11k)
AU where Loki and Mobius are rivals at an office, but circumstances force them to quarantine in an apartment together for 2 weeks. (And to make matters worse, Loki keeps falling asleep in Mobius' bed). Very fun, and this is one I love to come back to time to time.
Show, Don't Tell by pinkpeachtea (6k)
OB writes an 800 page sci-fi romance novel about Loki and Mobius (but changes the name) and insists that all his friends form a book club for it. The titular two get heavily invested (yet still are oblivious it's based on them).
Pen-demonium by dinosuns (6k)
Loki steals a pen, creating 6k words of pure banter. When I think of classic lokius fics, i think anything by dinosuns. This is one of their more banter-focused ones, but they also write amazing 10k long fics that read like prose. This isn't just a dinosuns fic rec as it is a rec for the author themselves
The Best Gift of All by frommyhearttoyours (6k)
AU where Loki is a teacher at the elementary school Mobius' kids attend. Takes place during the school's christmas concert reception. Very cute, very Hallmark.
Stray by RarePairFairy (5k)
Mobius goes back to his timeline to raise his kids and brings Loki along with him. Told through the perspective of his kids Sean and Kevin
I don't want to dance if i'm not dancing with you by Anonymous (2k)
Loki and Mobius find themselves at an 18th century masquerade ball. Very cheesy but I find it a lot of fun

I'm curious, what's your process for plotting out a fic and kind of like, putting it all together?
a mixture between the snowflake method and throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks and feels right, but mostly snowflake. Usually I start with either a goal (wilmon's post S2 hea in As Long as We Have Each Other), a concept (ghost!Erik which is currently in the throw things at the wall and finding what feels good stage) or a scene (Wille standing up for Simon and going full on Crown Prince mode in Their Own Medicine) and then make notes as to what comes to mind.
I then set those aside and start with the snowflake method aka starting with a one sentence summary (generally of the theme rather than the plot) and expand from there bit by bit until I have a full outline.
Concurrently I always jot down thoughts, ideas and scenes in a notebook/extra file and once I'm done with the basic outline I'll go through it and add those extra bits where they fit.
This always produces a third file of random stuff I'd like to add but which doesn't necessarily need to go anywhere specific in the timeline and/or which are not really necessary for either the plot or the character development but which could be fun or become important (in As Long as We Have Each Other the biggest one of those is Inter-School Sports Day, it's self indulgent and utterly unnecessary, but it'd be fun, but there's also small things in there like Nils showing Wille pics from his Verbier bash).
I then go back to the outline which by then has grown to detailed chapter notes, and start writing chapter 1. Before every new chapter I go through my random stuff notes again and check if I could add anything, and more often than not there's at least one or two things.
I try to always have a system and direction in place and a red thread to follow when I write, because I'm verbose and tend to go off on epic tangents if not held in check, but of course chapters, plot and characters always have a mind of their own and grow and evolve as I write, and I usually let them, because I write fic for fun and not to publish a masterpiece, and so often a chapter only covers part of what was initially planned for it and I have to split it into two. For example all the makeout sessions in As Long as We Have Each Other are entirely unplanned, and while I never intended for the fic to become explicit, through writing it it just happened that it now feels natural to explore at least some of their first fumblings with the supplies they've gotten from the Royal Court, and once I've gone there, it'd feel unfair to not at least let them improve a bit and get more comfortable.
I usually, for longer stuff also make a detailed timeline to keep track of seasons, holidays etc and depending on the fandom also make sure to have a file for research or just things I need to look up and/or double check, which in Young Royals is mostly stuff like when are the name days of the royal family but in other fandoms, like mdzs also included things like, bathing: when and how or in HP is it canon or fanon and stuff like that.
Hope that somewhat answered your question :-)

📓!!
i've posted about this idea before a million times, but: archivist melanie fic. i've had this idea for such a long time, and i would love to riff on it if i ever get the motivation.
so the basic premise of this ends up being a semi melanie-jon role swap, but: essentially jon does not work at the institute, and melanie comes in to give her statement sooner. (her statement takes place in january of 2015, so this actually sort of works?? but i'd probably mess with the timeline so melanie has her encounter with the slaughter, and ghost hunt uk breaks up, sooner.) elias doesn't see a clear candidate for the archivist after murdering gertrude -- he's considering tim, he's considering rosie, but no one feels like a clear fit... but then he meets melanie, who isn't exactly a perfect fit, but... she's doubly marked, by the slaughter and the stranger. and with the drive she has for investigation, it seems like it would be easy to orchestrate twelve more.
so melanie takes the archivist job, with sasha, tim, and martin as her assistants (just because), and her approach ends up even more focused on investigation than jon's. (she refuses to look into the most outlandish ones -- she's still as skeptical of the institute as she is in canon -- but there's plenty grounded in evidence that she's ready to investigate.) tim and sasha fall into this easily, of course, with their experience in research, and they all end up more or less bonding, because why not (melanie canonically liked sasha, and was friends with martin, and i think she would've gotten along better with tim under better circumstances...). georgie, of course, is still close with melanie, and ends up being much more involved with things, and while the institute initially seems like a good thing for melanie -- a new opportunity and a chance to find closure -- it also ends up being a little frightening as time goes on, as melanie's eye powers start to develop, and the slaughter starts to take a greater hold on her...
so in this au, jon comes into the story when he's convinced (either by coincidence, by georgie, or by the web) to give a statement about mr. spider. there's little to no evidence, and melanie would probably dismiss it if it wasn't for the fact that a) jon is friends with georgie, or used to be friends with georgie, and b) the fact that martin and jon immediately hit it off, and martin pushes to investigate more. they can't find anything about jon's statement, but they do decide to look into more spider statements to see if there's a connection. specifically, first, the carlos vittery case. which martin and melanie go to investigate together. and this time, instead of martin, jane prentiss follows the archivist home.
melanie is trapped for a few days with her phone gone. but this time, people get clued in faster -- partially because georgie, who texts with melanie all the time, knows that prentiss's texts are nothing like melanie, and partially because martin was there at the basement with her. they manage to break her out after a few days. melanie ends up staying with georgie instead of in the institute because georgie insists ("you're not staying in the office, melanie; i'll be fine"). jon finds out about this through georgie and, despite the tension he and melanie had when he gave his statement, he calls to apologize. (and is more or less adopted into this strange little circle because of his connection with georgie, and his new tentative friendship with martin.)
the prentiss attack goes very similarly, except for one thing: when the dust has settled, and melanie is getting patched up in an ambulance outside, and tim and martin start hugging a strange woman and calling her sasha... melanie sees through it. she sees through it, and can't say anything, because the others won't believe her, and the not!sasha knows it, keeps smirking at melanie over their shoulders. that isn't sasha, and something has happened to her.
melanie tells georgie, convinces georgie to believe her. they go back into the archives while it is empty (everyone on leave) and tear it apart, looking for references to what this is. (melanie remembers the amy patel statement, but wants more information...) eventually they find the statement from mag 78, the one with adelard dekker. they put together the pieces about the table. melanie goes to tim and martin, and they don't believe her, but she convinces them to come with her, to just see the table, and that's when they destroy it, releasing sasha and letting the not!them loose all at once.
(yes, sasha lives in this au; not because melanie is the archivist, but just because i don't wanna kill sasha, shhh)
there is the canon-typical not-sasha chase, with a sasha that only melanie recognizes along for the ride. jurgen leitner still shows up and traps it, but melanie refuses his offers to talk. none of them want answers, at this point, after prentiss and the not!them; they just want out. they go to elias to try and quit, and are unable to, of course. (even after melanie threatens him with a letter opener.) they are trapped, for now.
everyone takes their time off, although none of them really stay away; tim and martin and georgie are all waiting for their memories of sasha to go right, and after tim and melanie's wounds heal a little, they're meeting almost daily to try and figure out how to leave the institute. but in all the confusion and exhaustion and trauma, one thing all of them forget to do is fill in jon. (how can they? strange spiders and worms are one thing, but this... it all seems a little much.) this ends up being a mistake when, on everyone's first day back to the archives, elias announces a new coworker. he shows jon down, who looks confused and maybe even a little hurt when everyone loudly protests. elias smiles at melanie and tells her it's a shame they can't bring that host of what the ghost on -- that she would surely be a valuable resource to the archives as well.
so i'm not sure where the fic goes from here; in my mind, it's always cut off with elias essentially hiring jon as a hostage to keep the others under control. with the 197 reveal that the web hand picked jon as the archivist, though... i did have a new idea for a continuation. one where, in a sped up timeline with the revelations of s2 and early s3 having come in about a week -- and with the web's chosen archivist finally in the institute -- the web starts to orchestrate situations where jon gets marked alongside melanie. and it catches things before they progress too far. it shows melanie eric delano's tape instead of steering her away -- like it did jon -- in the hopes that melanie will blind herself to get free of the institute. so that the archivist position will be open for jon.
#this got long lol so im sticking it under a read more#i have been thinking about this idea for SO LONG lol#tma au#archivist melanie

trapped upside down.
pairing: romantic pairing n/a, familial hopper x reader ( niece )
word count: 3k
request: “i’m thinking maybe reader gets stuck in the upside down for a bit and thinks they were abandoned? and then when they get out they’re all traumatised and betrayed and everyone just tries to show them how much they love them? reallll hurt/comfort. i’m thinking familial/gen, you could decide which family or you could add a romance if you want xx”
summary: y/n hopper is the daughter of hopper’s sibling. but hopper was always more like a parent to her. when everything happened with sarah, y/n’s parents let him stay with them until he wound up with the cabin in the middle of nowhere. you got wrapped up in everything last year both from being around hopper and from being around jonathan and nancy. now, you’ve been helping your uncle hide el, and you’re trying to figure out what happened. but, will they be able to find you in time?
notes: oooh okay so i literally just watched the episode in s2 where hop goes into the upside down so i’m gonna base it off of that bit. and also i thought it would be fitting if hopper had family in this fic, since it’s based on that plot where he was the one who was stuck in the upside down for a bit. i also might have mucked up the timeline a bit, since when i started writing i just finished the episode, but now it’s been a while, though i think i got it mostly right? hope you like it! as always, thanks for sending in the request.
warnings: claustrophobia/tight spaces, fire
You shouldn’t have come with Jim. You should have stayed back at the Byers’ house with Joyce and Will.
Should have. Should have. Should have.
What did you do? You went with your uncle to the damn pumpkin patch and helped him dig down into the upside down.
From the moment he got up from where you, he, and Joyce had been making the map of vines you knew that something was on his mind. He tried to get you to stay back at the house with Joyce and help her keep an eye on Will, but you wouldn’t hear it and got in the car just before he was driving back out of the driveway.
Even when you two showed up at the patch, he told you to stay back. Instead, you grabbed another shovel and started helping him out.
Boy, do you wish you’d listened to him now.
You didn’t expect, when you followed him down, that you two would wind up separated. You were trying to find a way to get back out, and suddenly a wrong turn later you got stuck in a collapsed section of the tunnels and couldn’t find your way back out to your uncle.
It felt like it had been forever. There was no way to tell time from everything that was going on, you couldn’t see your watch in the dark. Your flashlight had died when you had tried to use it to get out of the part of the tunnel you’d gotten stuck in.
You lost track of time, not being able to see your watch or see if the sun was up or down. You’d lost your voice screaming out for your Uncle Jim, to never hear him calling back. Which, you were sure he was looking for you too if he could. But damn, you had no idea where here even was.
Pacing, that’s how you spent your time. You couldn’t sit still and look around at everything--that you couldn’t even see in the darkness--because you felt like you needed to be doing something. But you still, no matter how many circles around the tunnel you did, were trapped without any sign of a way out.
Deep breaths. You had to instruct yourself to stay calm several times. You weren’t usually too claustrophobic, but you’d also never been trapped in a space like this.
The darkness was all consuming and you kept your hands on the walls of the tunnel, pacing back and forth. Nothing seemed to change, nothing at all.
How long had you been down here?
Surely they were looking for you and your uncle, right? They had to be. They wouldn’t just...leave you down here. Hopper wouldn’t let that happen.
Unless they hadn’t found him yet either.
You stopped pacing, sitting down on the ground and shaking your head. Maybe you were talking to yourself, or maybe you just thought that because you were thinking so damn loudly.
Sitting was worse than pacing, because you felt like time was endless. At least when you’d been pacing you had some sense of the passing of time. It took you 78 seconds to walk around the room in one full circle. Sitting, however, you couldn’t pass the time just sitting.
And then, the world fell even darker than everything already was.
The next time you remember having a clear thought, it felt like the world was on fire. Literally, the heat was unbearable.
Sure, you felt like you were trapped in hell.
When had it gotten this hot?
You screamed, repeatedly, “I’m down here! I’m down here,” as you gathered up the strength to pull yourself up to your feet.
You thought you heard something in the distance--some indistinct noise you couldn’t quite tell what it was--and you attempted to run toward it. Unfortunately you were met with a literal wall of fire and were forced to retreat back wards, stumbling in a run to get away from the flame.
The only thoughts in your mind were; I’m going to die, Uncle Jim might be dead, and no one will find us down here.
Then, as quickly as the flames and heat started, they were gone.
You stopped moving, immediately relieved by the coolness returning to the air around you and you began walking again. What way were you headed? You had no idea, but hopefully it would lead you out of here.
You hoped, at least.
What you didn’t know was that, above ground everything was changing. They’d found Hopper and managed to pull him above, but once he was on the surface he’d begun tugging away from Joyce and Bob.
“Let me go!” Hopper said, attempted to break free of their hold on him, but he was still too weak after being trapped down in the upside down for however long it had been--it felt like a lifetime was wiped away from him, if he were being honest. He didn’t want to go back down there, but he needed to. You were still down there.
Everything flew through his mind--getting separated from you, searching for you, getting trapped.
Feeling like he might die down there, alone.
“Hop, are you crazy? You can’t go back down there!” Joyce pulled back on him, staring at him with wide eyes.
Hopper’s expression hardened, as he growled out his response to Joyce. Sure, she was arguably his best friend, but he wasn’t about to argue this with her. She of all people had to understand what was going on, given how hard she fought him when he didn’t believe Will was missing. You were the closest thing he’d had to a daughter now, other than El. “Y/N is down there. She is down there Joyce. I can’t just leave her.”
“Jim, buddy, you’re in no shape to go back down there.” Bob said, looking sympathetic. He wasn’t as close to Jim as Joyce was, but because of Joyce he knew him better and thus knew about his relationship with you.
Before anything else could happen, the vans showed up and men in gear jumped down. They couldn’t even ask what was happening before Will dropped to the ground of the pumpkin patch, writhing and screaming.
Even as they drove back towards Hawkins lab, Jim was turned to look out the window.
“We’re gonna get her back, Hop. I promise you.” Joyce said, comforting her oldest friend with a small smile and a nod before turning back to her son with worried eyes.
You’d made it so much farther than you thought you might. You had to stop walking every so often in order to breathe--though it wasn’t like you could really take some deep breaths down here, but you needed to stop every so often to catch your breath and calm down.
You kept chanting in your head, I will make it out of here. Over and over again. You had to keep thinking positively about everything, otherwise there was no hope left. You needed to keep hold to hope.
There was a crack, light up ahead. You had no idea what it led to, for all you knew it could be a trap. It could be something bad--like maybe it led to whatever had made this damned tunnel. However, it seemed to be the only way you could possibly leave. There was no time to go back, only to go forward.
Stepping through the crack in the tunnel, you were blinded by light. It had been so dark in the tunnel that seeing any kind of light was blinding right away. The air felt colder, too, but you could tell you weren’t outside. You practically fell to the floor, which was cold and metal, taking in deep breaths of fresher air finally.
The only sounds were the whirring of machines around you. You had no idea where you were, but you had to open your eyes slowly to adjust to the brightness of whatever room you were in.
Boy did you hope that you hadn’t walked right into some bad place, but something in the pit of your stomach told you that it was a possibility you had. And, if you did, you just hoped that Jim would be able to find you and fast. You were in no shape to fight anybody ( or anything ) at the moment.
Everything was coming into focus, and it was all metal minus a big glass window leading into another room.
“What the fuck kind of place is this?” You mumbled, shaking your head as you forced yourself to your feet. You walked slowly, unsteady on your feet, as you moved towards a door in the room.
Another door opened, and you heard voices approaching which made you stop in your tracks. Unfortunately, there was no place to hide in the room you currently stood in, which worried you. You had no idea what was about to walk through the door, and the voices were too muffled behind the other door, even though it was open. You just had to wait and see what would happen when whoever was walking in, walked in.
It surprised you when you saw a couple of people filing into the room all in versions of lab coats and scrubs and some other kind of suit you didn’t know what it was for. They did stop when they spotted you, blinking and looking at you.
It seemed like none of them, nor you, knew what to do.
“Sir.” one of the men turned around, looking at the man who just walked in--a doctor maybe? He seemed to be talking to somebody else who hadn’t walked into the room yet, and was surprised to be stopped.
“What is it?” The white haired man asked, stepping fully into the room and looking at the man who had called his attention, only to be met with the other gesturing toward where you stood in the room. “What? What are you pointing--at?” The man started talking before he turned his attention to where you stood. Then he walked closer to the glass window and tapped on it, looking at you. “Hello there. Who are you?”
“Who are you?” you retorted, crossing your arms and staring him down.
“Who the fuck are you talking to Owens?” it was a voice you knew well, and you turned to look at him at the same time he spotted you. “Y/N?” he asked, his mouth falling open as he looked at you. “Y/N!” he exclaimed, moving toward the door and attempting to open it. “Open the door for her, Owens. Somebody open this fucking door right now.” Hopper exclaimed, turning back to everyone in the room. “Right now!”
Even though it was clear that the doctor, Owens, was in charge of the place, someone hopped up and unlocked the door for your uncle. With all the strength you had you walked toward the door and toward your uncle, but one of the men in suits held you back before you could embrace him.
“Hey, let me go.” You tugged your arm to get out of his grasp and looked at your uncle. “Let me go.”
“Miss, we have to take you to the decontamination showers before anything else happens.” the man holding your arm explained, and you turned to your uncle and he nodded.
“I guess that explains the scrubs.” rolling your eyes you sighed as you waved to your uncle and let the man lead you out of the room.
“Hey, kid.” Hopper called back to you, and you stopped walking to look at him. “I was trying to find you. We wouldn’t leave you down there, ever.” He walked out to where you stood in the hallway, though he kept his distance when the other man fixed him with a look.
“I know, old man.” you smiled at him. He was your family, and even if you felt abandoned down in that scary hell hole, you knew that he would never leave you like that. You knew he would come back for you, even if it felt like maybe he wouldn’t given how long it felt like you were down there. “Hey, when you see me again, we’ll be all matchy matchy in scrubs. Christmas card photo shoot?” You laughed, letting the other man walk with you again towards an elevator.
Hopper rolled his eyes at you, but you could see that even he was smiling a little bit as he waved you off into the elevator. “See ya soon, kid.”
It wasn’t a smooth night by any means. The scrubs were as comfortable as they could be, even if they were bigger than you expected them to be, and you hadn’t gone back down to see your uncle. Instead you had been ushered towards another room where you saw Will on a hospital bed, as well as Joyce, Bob, and Mike.
“Oh, thank God.” Joyce sighed when she saw you, pulling you into a tight hug and wrapping her arms around you. “Hop was so worried. We were all so worried. Does he know you’re--how did you get here?”
You grinned, pulling back from the hug, “It’s a weird story how I got here. I just kind of kept walking and found this crack and walked through and here I am. Uncle Jim saw me first, before the weird man in uniform hauled me off to the showers.”
“Hop was so worried when they took us away and brought us here. He just kept saying that you were still there and we had to go back for you.” Joyce said, tears in her eyes as she looked at you.
“We would have gone to look for you, Y/N, I swear. But Will...” Mike gestured to the bed and you looked around the room.
“What happened?”
You were filled in on everything that happened since you left the Byers’ place, nodding along as they spoke. You wondered where the other kids were--usually they were inseparable--but you didn’t want to ask where they were right then.
Everything else happened so fast, you weren’t quite sure how it all went down. Will talking crazy, Mike running out of the room, all of you having to leave. Watching Bob die as you ran back with your uncle. Pulling Joyce away and leading her out of Hawkins lab, letting her cry on your shoulder as you walked to the car and helped her get in.
You drove down the road and stopped to let your uncle’s car pass you. You were shocked to see everyone else down at the end of the road, waiting and hopping in to your uncle’s car.
When you got there, you walked Joyce back to her room and then went into the kitchen to get her a glass of water.
“Y/N was stuck down in the upside down with Hopper.” Mike said, gesturing toward you as you stood by the sink, filling up the glass. “She knows what it’s like down there, we should ask her.”
“Ask me what?” you asked, leaning against the sink and holding onto the glass waiting to see what they would have to say before going back to Joyce.
“We have to get that thing out of Will, so the upside down is our best bet.” Mike explained with a nod of his head.
“What, are you gonna light it on fire again? Cause that worked so well for those lab guys.” You rolled your eyes and turned to leave the room before stopping and looking back at everyone. “There’s got to be another way. A better way.”
You sat with Joyce quietly, both of you sitting in her bedroom and listening in to the conversation out in the kitchen. It seemed like Joyce was detached, and you hadn’t wanted to start talking to her again because, frankly, you didn’t know what to say to her. Were you supposed to distract her? Try and make her focus? What had your parents done when your uncle had come to the house all those years ago? So instead, the two of you sat in silence, listening in on the conversation in the kitchen.
It was all about what they had to do. What they could do about the thing that had its claws wrapped tightly around Will.
After a couple of long moments of just listening in silence, Joyce stood up and walked out of her room and left you to follow at her heels.
“We have to kill it.”
You had gone with your uncle and El to go and close the gate. You felt more comfortable going with them rather than sticking around the house with Steve and the other kids--you felt like they were planning something and you didn’t want to be around for whatever it was they’d been planning. Though, admittedly, you probably weren’t the best fighter if you encountered anyone while El attempted to close the gate, but you at least could help protect El as best as you could.
After everything was said and done you’d gone back to the Byers’ house and looked around the room at everyone. You were grateful that you had this group of people around you.
People who would go to the ends of the Earth to bring back anybody else sitting in that house--in fact, in some cases, they had.
People who hugged you so tight that night that you almost couldn’t breathe.
People who cared for you and shared this weird supernatural experience with you.
Family. That’s what they were, what you all were to each other.
You couldn’t ask for a better family than the one you’d found in Hawkins, the ones whom you were sitting with as you watched the sunrise and did everything to forget about what you’d just gone through. It was bittersweet, but everyone was telling stories and jokes, anything to ease the tension you’d all been feeling the past couple of days. And it was working, you felt at ease with this group of people--with your family.
You loved them all, and they loved you. And you knew that you would also risk anything for them too.

Riverdale Liveblogs 3x07 - 3x13
Instead of making you all suffer through six separate liveblogs as I was catching up, have them all in on post!
3x07, “The Man in Black”
Remember when Jughead was the biggest woobie ever with a bunch of sad shit happening to him. Fun times. Honestly, Jughead’s just really taking advantage of finally being on the roadtrip he was denied
Justice for Jingle Jangle. Why did we need a new drug? Or I’d be fine with it complementing the other but NOooOooOOOO. It’s trying to shove JJ out of the spotlight!
Elvis’ granddaughter could’ve just drugged the eggs but instead she chose to nearly give Archie a concussion. Hiram might chop her head off if his Archiekins gets permanent brain damage
Let Archie kill a man!! Jughead got to skin someone who was fucking up his life. Why can’t he let Archie take his shot!? I can’t hear you about consequences
Your business is failing because trading away the final piece of the Soutshide to open a vanity project in the form of a dry speakeasy was not a great idea. Also, gamers can give you business. I’ve seen it!
The show can make Veronica say all these supposedly empowering lines, but I’m never going to forget that she supported a for-profit prison
MAYBE MY DAD’S NOT SO BAD!!?!?
This voiceover was completely unnecessary. Honestly, it’s sort of a slap in the face to Lili’s acting as if they didn’t think she could convey certain things without some hand holding
I’ve seen movies. They make you swallow that shit on the spot
So many negative thoughts being awkwardly confirmed
Honestly, this is what happens when you keep exploiting the place for abuses to help your investigations but never fucking shut it down
3x08, “Outbreak”
Does Moose need drugs to get it up? He said Midge liked to get wild, but methinks he liked it of his own volition as well. And just what I wanted. Shadowy makeouts while high on drug laced childhood candy
Kevin needs to find out who put a curse on his dick. ANOTHER hookup interrupted by bodies in danger
I don’t know why a group of high school boys acting like typical jackass high school boys with loud laughing is cause for thinking they’re all high.
“good people like Archie”
Gladys being a Jarchie shipper is pure. I will not stand for this no homoing
Wait, Cheryl did actually get to be Student Body President? I thought they were just going to let that circle the drain and disappear
MY FAVORITE INCOMPETENT EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATOR
THE PRISON WAS A FUCKING COVER?!?!? So all of S2 was just…oh my fucking god, I’m going to do drown myself
“good looking shortsatck” Love it. Goddamn, I love Gladys
Do they know that the way they write Hiram and Veronica feels like it’s been dipped in ten layers of incest? He talks to her like she’s the mistress he wants to bed
The affection the Jones women have for Archie is cute
The Gargoyle King being a hallucination is the most disappointing thing
TABLETOP RPGS ARE NOT FUCKING BORN OF MADNESS. Ugh, my inner geek is angry with rage
Oh, now you care about the kids in conversion therapy
So I guess they didn’t go to Toledo for Christmas??
Lili should get a raise for this Griffin Queen shit
I’m more emotional than I would usually be over these Fred scenes given Luke Perry’s recent condition
PROTECT THAT FUCKING DOG WITH YOUR FUCKING LIFE!! THROW YOURSELF IN FRONT OF A BEAR
I missed alcoholic Hermione. And lmao this Watchmen realness
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/aed0172f20c300e2d38d5942e03ae120/tumblr_inline_po0jsrF6A61rni1uq_540.jpg)
I love Silent!Kevin getting nothing to say in that office! Just fucking great
we need to know more about this fucking Governor. Racist piece of shit who gets upset about vandalized statues of genocidal war criminals, AND he’s under Hiram’s thumb.
3x09, “No Exit”
Will someone get bit by a monkey? I can only hope
Oh fuck off with the Star Wars reference. IT DOESN’T FIT
Stealing from the rich to give to the rich. How very one percenter. And Toni, all your friends are living in tents by the river
KEVIN. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALWAYS JOIN THE WORST GROUPS
While the implication of Jughead sleeping over is nice, what the fuck was the point of last episode’s cliffhanger. This timeline makes no sense
I’M GETTING FIREWATCH VIBES
They’re so fucking low budget that they couldn’t even show the bear, LMAO
I forgot what Fangs sounded like. Didn’t FP retire? ARE THERE EVEN ANY ADULTS LEFT IN THIS FUCKING JOKE OF A GANG. But Damn, Fangs is good at crying. So pretty
Aww, I actually missed the hammy ass warden
Every time Joaquin’s name is mentioned, another dagger in my heart
The fact that the sisters have been fake nuns this whole time is just…what the fuck. AND THE FUCKING SOCIAL WORKER KNEW AND JUST LET THEM KEEP OPERATING!?!? LET THIS WHOLE FUCKING TOWN FALL INTO A HELLMOUTH
Remember when Jughead was outraged about the Serpents being paid security at the Pickens festival thing? Time is a flat circle
CHERYL, WHY DON’T YOU JSUT KILL HIRAM THEN
“SAVED”!??! REALLY NANA ROSE!?! IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL THE CHILD GROOMING YOU DID!? And uh, Fred and Sierra should know about that sordid piece of Penelope’s past
Damn, Veggie is hot as fuck
You know who else could’ve gone undercover for the Serpents to infiltrate the Gargoyle gang?!????? I HATE YOU FOREVER, RAS. ANOTHER AU FOR THE DRAWER
3x10, “The Stranger”
LMAO that they tried to make us think Archie died
Being attacked by a bear in Canada means not having to suffer through crippling debt because of the hospital bill for the rest of your life
Sidenote, but I really thought the painting of Veronica would have a bug or something. The fact that she just kept the painting instead of burning it says something
Oh so the core four are THOSE type of friends
Betty’s money >> those kids
Claudius just doesn’t want to do actual work
They let a kid pass the first grade when he couldn’t read? So the educational system has always been rather shit
Hey there, Silent!Kevin! Just sitting silently with your slowly developing biceps
Does Reggie know what PTSD is
I spy with my little eyes Kevin in the corner putting his PE clothes away! Once again robbed of a shirtless scene
FUCKING TALL BOY!?!? Lol, this is really good for my drawer fic actually. Keep sounding like a spiteful man! It’s semi feeding me
Wow, they really crammed in two Varchie sex scenes
Hiram deserved this and every agonizing second of pain he felt
Raw milk, huh? Yeah, that’s all you need to bait Kevin into this cult
Bye Claudius, no one will miss you
I want Hermione/FP to fuck
Jughead throwing a party to make things better is the biggest twist this series has ever done
Archie the alcoholic, eh. If this lasts more than one episode, that’d sure be something
3x11, “The Red Dahlia”
This is the noir episode, isn’t it. I’m…really bad with noir so an episode from THIS team is going to be…very trying
Awww, FP mentioning Joaquin is an extra pang. I wanted to know more about their relationship
I’d love to see the notes on this draft when Jughead tries submitting it to a publisher. Unless he goes the self pub route
Who even runs the newspaper now?
Betty, you’re like the last person to talk about black and white morality
Archie sounds like the protagonist of Office Space at the end when he finds his calling in construction
ELIO HAS SPOKEN MORE THAN MELODY EVER DID. EAT SHIT, RAS
I still need Jughead and Veronica arguing about classic cinema
I wonder where Penelope learned those crocodile tears, Nana. Like I never need a scene of her criticizing her ADOPTED DAUGHTER again
Cheryl is pretty forgiving of the uncle who sort of helped with her institutionalization
Have these boys never watched an episode of Breaking Bad? Put that body in a barrel
So has Veronica had a change of heart about Daddykins? I’m so confused
SMITHERS!?!? YOu’RE STILL ALIVE!? Protect this man
Remember when Betty was a camgirl for ten seconds and watched all of her fake brother’s porn videos
Josie’s voice is pure butter, and the show needs to stop pretending that we want to hear anyone else sing
Why doesn’t Toni have a job at Veronica’s dry speakeasy? She used to be an actual bartender!
“Kevin’s dad boxes at the gym” being a line from Josie is the most beautiful line in this episode
Well at least they explained the seizures.
YYYAAAAAASSSS, KELLY RIPPA!!
What is even the point of Minetta having faked his death just to be Hermione’s kept man
Well, damn, I really didn’t see this FP reveal coming. I wish he was the sheriff Hermione was fucking. And given all the things Jughead used to say and aim at Keller, it’s interesting to see him have to deal with his dad being somewhat in Hermione’s pocket
PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER, ARCHIE
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/160c5ccc80547ccedd47663267d325c1/tumblr_inline_po0qkxb8eh1rni1uq_540.jpg)
Lmao at this Bad Boys line. I see you, synergy
Honestly, how dare Archie shoot the person who was going to kill Hiram. I guess that’s one way to bury the Archie/Hiram grudge
Hermione’s trigger finger is life goals
3x12, “Bizarrodale”
So first off, fuck that title and everything it implies.
Second, this is the episode where I’m supposed to finally get fed, eh? FINGERS CROSSED
I forgot what Kevin sounded like after not talking for four episodes
WHEN CAN WE MEET KEVIN’S MOM!?!? I HAVE MANY FANCASTS
Veronica watches Netflix confirmed, and yet I guess she just scrolls past Orange is the New Black every time it’s recommended to her
Why are Kevoose makeouts always in shadow? Is it to disguise the fact that when they makeout it’s with their lips sealed shut
The actor who plays Major Mason followed me back on my burner instagram
Awww, Sweet Pea is a relationship guy with a gooey little heart!
Sierra pegs Tom confirmed. Love these two kinky fuckers
The way Tom says “Gargoyle King” goes straight to my nether regions
So does Britta have a kink for people outing others against their will? I swear this is a plot point in Ship It too
I feel like these issues are something they should’ve talked about way more. Making Moose’s coming out be an ultimatum is pretty gross
How DARE they not let us hear Josie sing?!??! Ohhhh, if we’d heard Josie sing then we would sent death threats to the fake Juilliard board. I never want to hear Josie’s teary little voice again because it hurts my feelings
Lmao, this is the second time a parent has been judgmental of how the Lodges involve Veronica in their business
Remember that time Moose and Cheryl made out? I’m forever traumatized by that
Hiram and Hermione strolling in like a fucked up Gomez and Morticia
I’m sure that Dilton would approve of his friend from another lifetime using his secret bunker to pop his cherry. But only Moose. Yes, I ship comics Dilton/Moose
Oh, HeeEYEEEEEEE, IT’S LIKE A BUNCH OF MY FIC DREAMS COME TO LIFE. Wow, I finally got pandered to. Kevin being in dagner is like…the basis of the majority of my drawer fics
I’M FUCKING PSYCHIC X2!!!! Well huh, this puts that earlier diner scene in a new light
Yesss, please keep calling him Tommy and talking about how Kevin looks like your old friend with that sad, wistful tone. Please feed my fic bunnies
Christ, Ashleigh has such a fucking amazing voice. I can actually bear KJ’s singing
Moose having to leave makes sense. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU WATCH CODY”S SHOW ON NETFLIX TO MAKE THIS WORTH IT
I never want to see Kevin cry again. Fucking Maramaduke
Gladys can step on me, and I’d apologize
3x13, REQUEIM FOR A WELTERWEIGHT
I’M FINALLY ALL FUCKING CAUGHT UP
I don’t think that bacon is fully cooked
So Veronica just decided to not move back out because the path of least resistance?? And she’s back in her Daddy’s clutches because....he got shot???
The Serpent with the awesome dreads is still there! Can he be an actual character with a name? He deserves it
Between last episode and this one, I am being fucking BLESSED with Daddy Keller content.
VERONICA IS a FUCKING REPUBLICAN CONFIRMED. I guess we all know who scrolled right past 13th on Netflix!
They’re really trying to sweep up their awkward plot mistakes from last season, eh
I need a flashback of young Alice in this ugly fucking wedding dress
This is some Rocky and Mickey shit. Hopefully Keller doesn’t have a heart attack while confronting Mr. T
YES, GLADYS!!! CALL OUT THAT LEADERSHIP!
San Junipero water, huh.
Why is Archosie so perfect
Ehhhh, the last time they talked was eight episodes ago. Will this scene be about how Kevin’s recovering post-Moose?? Of course not. My hopes for investigative Kevin are once again yanked away. Though of course remember that time she got him to catfish a murderer without telling him that Chic had killed someone?? Fun times
“cute gay farmies”
Veronica is the opposite intimidating ESPECIALLY in the face of Gladys who we all know has actually fucked up a bitch
The monstrous Freeform ate Malachai, eh. Ghoulie jackets are still the best jackets
I’ve never watched Apocalypse Now so this scene is wasted on me
THUNDERDOME!!?!?
Keller looks like he gives good hugs
How the fuck did Jason learn about The Farm?
This is Polly’s revenge for being sent to the Sisters
It’s awkward how Choni just sort of disappeared from the episode
Damn, Archosie has everything going on
Hermione, you should’ve just killed Hiram when you had the chance
PROTECTIVE BIG BROTHER JUGHEAD!
Gladys doling out gang advice is just everything I wanted from her

It’s been your birthday going on six hours now. You’ve missed the fireworks? They’ve been going all week.”“I—” Steve blinked. Oh.
