#veronica lodge is not jealous over archie but is jealous over betty

[diltonsstrangescience]

I couldn’t pick which part of this comic to post out of context so here’s the entire thing.

[riverdale-retread]

Riverdale S6B - Episode 112: American Psycho.

I’m surprised that the Riverdale production team managed to refrain themselves from titling this All American Psycho. Because that is what so many of their characters are both psycho (on and off) and All American! Charles looks like he could be a poster boy for milk and detergent. Same for Betty. Archie is and does all the stereotypical All American Boy things - abs, square jaw, lots of sex, sports, music, violence, dgaf about school.

Anyway!

We open with a meeting about the upcoming serial killer con among an unlikely assortment of people. Betty is surprised that Veronica could pull the whole thing together so fast. Ever gracious, Veronica demurs, turning the credit back to circumstances (a circuit of crime conventions already existed; Riverdale is an interesting town for murder fans).

First, Veronica is efficient and brilliant, yes, but we should never forget that she’s meant to be the head of a hedge fund, a master of the universe, and running the world (into the ground, inevitably because capitalism) but she’s stuck in fucking Riverdale running a little tiny casino. She is SO BORED. So that’s why this came together so fast. Lots of untapped energy there, for Veronica.

Second, women please don’t do this. If someone says that something unbelievable you achieved is actually unbelievable, then just say THANK YOU. And stop talking. The first time I saw a man do this (and by the way was he taking credit that was owed to others at the table in that same room at the time? WHY YES! HE WAS!) I was so sure that the skies would split open and smash him with a lightning bolt but nothing happening like that. He just took the credit and swallowed it and that was that. Do the same, ladies.

The people putting SlaughterCon together are hilarious. Veronica sits next to Archie, whom she has fucked, who is seated next to Betty, whom he has fucked, who is sitting next to Agent Drake, who wants to fuck her, who is finally seated next to Charles, who nobody should ever fuck. (Sorry, Charles fans.)

Veronica being the ultimate carpenter, the doer, only thinks to ask if SlaughterCon, which is a trap expressly set up to bring a known serial killer to her Murder Capital of Smalltown USA, is dangerous only after she has done all the work to set it up and bring it about.

What’s the quote from Anne Sexton about suicides?

Like carpenters they want to know which tools/ They never ask why build.

Veronica isn’t so much worried about harm to attendees or her neighbors (as Percival likes to call everyone). She just doesn’t want to do more body clean up, purely because she killed her body-clean-up guy.

Veronica. Get help.

Charles says, with a very creepy vanity, that he loves his ‘fans.’ He also deigns to speak on behalf of all serial killers which - please see above note re men having no qualms about taking credit and leadership whatsoever regardless of qualification. So, since Charles loves his fans and doesn’t like to shit where he eats, he assures everyone that TBK also loves his fans and wouln’t want to shit where he eats.

Veronica is secondarily worried about Betty (which is actually a great kindness and great progress for her, because Betty is also only tertiarily worried about Veronica. This is growth).

Betty says TBK won’t harm her, because he thinks the two of them are soulmates. She then outlines the security measures she’s put in place, including an agent outside her home to protect Alice and Charles (the ultimate redshirt lol). Agent Drake says she’ll be close by and this is when Archie comes in with the dick measuring contest. I will be too.

Dude.

Dude. Archie. Dude.

Drake is an FBI agent. You’re a - I don’t even know what you are. Can you have a little respect? Agent Drake looks very annoyed. I am not projecting my workplace meeting dynamics into this tv show. I. am. not.

I’ve never been to a con of this stripe, but actually Veronica’s program sounds pretty good and varied!

Simulated autopsy. Hybristophilia. Panels on Black Hood and the Starkweathers. G&G Tournament. 1:1 Sit down with Betty. And there will be live entertainment by Kevin! Not Sweeney Todd (were they unable to procure the rights?) but American Psycho because we need another Bret Easton Ellis reference. (RAB what is your problem with him? Was he mean to you?)

Veronica, Betty’s hidden admirer (BERONICA WHEN OMG) also dislikes Drake. Veronica is rarely directly rude to people for no reason, unlike Betty, but oh man the jealousy is very evident.

In a very dark-green-on-black room full of antiques and heavy ornate furniture, Uncle Fucking Frank and Percival discuss the need to mind control all of the workers of the construction crew because Bailey’s comet is making its 65 year return which is an essential part of Percival’s railway plan.

In a very brightly lit, simply furnished living room where almost everyone present is wearing some species of flannel check, Archie tells the striking union members that the union has approved of their strike and will send some sort of living stipend. And Tabitha, looking wonderful in her heels and tied back hair, offers to feed everyone and their families for free from Pop’s.

It’s not that I don’t want her to do this, but how is she affording this exactly?

There is a brief product placement for Smart food white cheddar pop corn of which Tabitha eats literally ONE.

Archie thanks her for the provision of the free food but doesn’t ask how she can afford it. She very discreetly hints at her stress and despair when she admits she has a strong desire to “keep busy.” That’s when Archie actually asks after Jughead.

Woah, stop the presses!

Jughead is still fighting off the cacophony of voices in his head. This is absolutely introvert hell and I feel so terrible for Jughead, a fiction maker and mythologizer who can’t control the voices of others invading his most private space. He looks catatonic in the Bunker.

Archie asks if he’s drinking again, and when assured by Tabitha that he is not, he is very relieved, and says a bunch of pablum about how strong Jughead is and how he’s going to beat it.

Meaning, I’m not going to help him.

Meaning, it’s not my problem.

I hate it when people say someone is ‘strong’ and then abandons them, can you tell?

Also if Jughead was drinking again, would Archie have cared more?

At Thornhill, Toni delivers the horrendous news that she’s going to be marrying Fangs right to Cheryl’s face. The tendons that stand out SO STRONG against Cheryl’s neck? THAT’S ME. The REVULSION in her face, where she has to lift all the skin of her scalp up to her crown so she can yank her lips into a smile? THAT’S ME.

Just in time, Heather, who has the longest legs ever, comes wandering in with a book. Cheryl introduces her as “my -dot dot dot - friend, Heather,” while gently caressing her elbow. Because we all do that with our ‘friends.’

When Toni stands up to take her leave, we see that Cheryl is wearing the deepest V neck cut you can wear without actually being entirely topless which is a hilarious contrast to Heather, who is buttoned up almost to her chin. Did she put this on because she knew Toni was coming or did she put this on for Heather? Both?

Toni invites Cheryl and Heather to her Bachelorette party, which will happen at the Serial Killer Convention. (“How apropos” Cheryl puts in. I love you forever, Cheryl Blossom.)

After Toni’s departure, Heather very sweetly asks Cheryl if she’s doing ok which of course, she is not. Cheryl delivers the most I Am Not All Right speech, using all the words of defense she can think of.

Next we are at Slaughter Con!

Why is Veronica dressed like Dorothy Gale? All the attendees for some reason really love the idea of a musical number (this is the most unrealistic thing ever). Veronica said Kevin promised to bring 1980s pizzazz but I think these suits that all these men are wearing are too tame. Kevin is a lovely singer, I love his singing voice, but he cannot sell choreography.

Betty sees a Black Hood in the crowd. They advance towards each other, and this Black Hood takes out a knife. He is apprehended by Betty and Archie. He turns out to be a wild eyed young man with a very Kermit the Frog voice, who says he bought the real Black Hood murder weapon from e-Slay. He wanted an autograph from Betty, because she’s practically one of them. When she doesn’t reject him outright, he actually starts to beg for her to kill him. Archie hauls him out of there as Kevin warbles, “I’m not a common man” over the proceedings like that means something.

Percival comes to the relocated Diner in order to do the mind control on everyone who is getting a free lunch there. Fangs is the first to go. You know how he was supposed to use Baby Anthony (whom he has still never, ever picked up) as the anchor? Archie using Fred as his anchor worked because even though he was an absolutely shit son through and through, Archie really did love his dad and reveres him still. The fact that Fangs cannot use Anthony as an anchor says nothing good about him. This feat of mind control on all of the workers gives Percival a nose bleed. (Nosebleed to denote extreme strain is so gross, I hate it. I’d rather people shit themselves.)

Back at SlaughterCon, Agent Drank is getting her full Jughead one. Even her presentation boards look like murder boards ©. She has the same smug, talk down delivery using overly large words as Jughead. Hybristophilia is a kink that means you are turned on by law breaking and evil doing. Innate attraction to the dark side of life, is what she says and I’m fascinated by her shirt which has stripes that look like cut outs.

Archie doesn’t understand why anyone would be drawn to ‘that kind of thing.’ Uh. Betty and Jughead and Veronica are all attracted to him, and Betty, as representative, looks very uncomfortable and lies that she doesn’t know, because that’s what Betty does.

Tabitha summons Archie to the Diner.

Kevin is visited by an irate Cheryl dressed like an actual witch, and carrying a book of dark magic.

Tabitha, Toni and Fangs are trying to figure out a way to free everyone from mind control. So the three of them decide to go and remind everyone of their tethers. Tabitha says they’re going to use music.

Cheryl and KevKev do a wedge spell, without specifying what the wedge is, against Foni. Normally I don’t like this sort of thing - bitter exes that wish ill are not cool - but I am with team Dark Magic on this one.

Tabitha, Toni and Fangs and all the families of the workers go to the worksite and sing a song and it works. Fangs breaks out of it first, which I guess deserves some sort of recognition, but his commitment to never, ever holding Baby Anthony is absolute. I don’t know if the show means for it to be a character beat or if they have an actual live baby whose mother will not let the particular actor hold her baby, but it’s so very very weird.

Back at SlaughterCon, Agent Drake is being Jughead to Betty as she talks about herself and her goals and her problems, and then she shoots her shot. “I’m attracted to you,” is what she says after making fun of Archie as “the boyfriend.”

I feel so bad for Agent Drake. “We have so much in common” is usually a great thing between two people who feel an attraction towards each other, but not if you’re Betty Cooper who absolutely despises herself and everything she comes from. She doesn’t want to fuck someone she has anything in common with.

“I’ve been picking up vibes from you,” Drake also says, and Betty looks as happy as she’s looked in ages.

We cut to Betty being woken up in glowing sunlight with a cup of coffee delivered to her by Agent Drake in a gray T shirt and nothing but. (OK, OK. Show? OK. I got it. Drake = Girl Jughead. Yes. OK?).

It turns out to be a super repressed wet dream. (Who the hell dreams about this? Also is this what’s missing from the Barchie relationship? Tenderness? Sweetness?)

Shout out to the tumblrina tha pointed out that when Betty wakes up for real, it’s in the cold, blue, depressing light of heteronormativity. Over breakfast with The Boyfriend, Betty tells Archie he doesn’t have to attend the Con, but then feels disappointed at his evident relief at not attending a thing that she finds important and fascinating.

Cheryl comes by with baked goods to the Foni apartment, to be told that Baby Anthony has colic and a fever. She becomes convinced that she is the one who gave these extremely common conditions to this baby through her magic. Cheryl, freaked out, runs back to cancel the spell, along with Kevin. Kevin says the most Kevin thing ever: This is your fault.

Veronica is seated under her own portrait when Betty tells her that Agent Drake tried to ask her out.

“She professed her love for you, like out of some romance novel?” asks Veronica, her voice dripping with contempt.

Uh. What Drake actually did was declare, I am attracted to you and I think you like me to, so how about it?

Veronica is so jealous. She has to be saying what she wishes she would do. I mean, she knows Betty, has known Betty and of course has done a romance novel thing for Betty when she was a girl: Declared that she loved Betty and then drank poison on her behalf, while they were both in ballgowns. I mean. Girl. GIRL. Get it together.

And I try. I try to stay liking Betty, but she’s kind of shit. She agrees with Veronica who wholesale slanders Drake by calling her ‘unprofessional.’ I mean. She specifically went over there to show off to Veronica that she got hit on by this cool, sexy woman.

“But it’s started to make me think,” begins Betty.

“Uh oh,” Veronica replies.

BURN. Omg. What.

Betty just glides right over that, to be an absolute shit to Veronica. She consults about her problems (this is so tiresome - does Betty literally never talk about anything other than herself and her deeply personal concerns?) with Archie to the girl who wanted to live with Archie as a tradwife just a little while ago (and all the history blah blah).

Veronica forbids Betty from pursuing things with Drake even though she has no rebuttals to statements like Betty pointing out that ‘on paper’ she and Drake are compatible, and also Betty miming with her entire face that she is in fact attracted to Drake and further that she had ‘a dream’ about the woman, which she strongly implies was sexual. She just doesn’t want it to happen. This is a weird form of control - Betty has just confessed to Veronica that she finds herself unable to achieve true intimacy (being ‘herself’) with Archie, which is exactly the problem that Veronica had with Archie, and yet Veronica’s advice to Betty is to forgo a viable, fresh option with an attractive, compatible person, to stay with Archie.

Is this like, an ex girlfriend version of the “I hope you have children just like you” curse from parents?

Veronica charges over to Drake to tell Drake that it’s not cool for Drake to have confessed her “attraction” to Betty. Which means actually then Betty DID NOT LIE about what actually transpired and it was Veronica who deeply overreacted. Veronica’s pleased smile after Drake takes a dignified leave of this unwarranted, over-stepping conversation is so sad to me. Veronica, please figure it out.

Heather undoes the dark magic that’s been placed on Baby Anthony. She seems to be Archie Coded - she’s a librarian, midwife, nightnurse on top of being a necromancer and witch. Everyone thanks her.

Can someone please tell me why Fangs never, ever touches his son?

Alice interviews Betty at the highlight of the SlaughterCon. Alice’s way of being a moderator is so cheesy. People are here to be fans of Betty Cooper. TBK gives the panel a call.

The way he says “Oh Betty” is so campy and gross and I love it. I wish I knew someone named Betty so I could call her and say “Oh Betty” with a little moan in my voice just like him.

They keep showing us Drake watching Betty so we can tell she’s not TBK.

“It ends with you and me and a kiss in the dark,” says TBK, before hanging up.

Cheryl is getting a very gentle telling off from Heather about doing magic for bad purposes. Heather and Cheryl decide to have fun with their second chance. So they decide to go to the Bachelorette party for Toni.

We get a musical number which basically is all the pretty ladies in Riverdale doing a nonsense song that is a long list of 80s designer names. Agent Drake is there, which I don’t understand, but appreciate. They’re all just so pretty! I’m so happy. I love that Heather wears glasses even when she’s dressed up. ME TOO GIRL.

It segues into a blended dance number with Kevin etc on stage so I appreciated this transition. The music goes from non-diagetic to diagetic, not seamlessly, but surreally. I love this about Riverdale.

In the melee Betty finally spots TBK! He attacks Kevin! With a plastic bag!

Betty runs to the rescue but it turns out that um Kevin was both expressing how much he hates himself and was trying to be super very classy as part of his show, by having Dr. Curdle Jr. act the part of TBK on stage for his terrible musical which nobody is paying any real attention to at this opint.

Then Betty sees the real TBK!

Briefly, we spend time with Heather and Cheryl. Heather had a wonderful time at the party. Cheryl shows Heather her very interesting art. (I kind of hate Cheryl’s art style.) Heather really likes it, calls it breathtaking. They finally kiss!!!!! It’s in a very gentle, sisterly way until they walk off further into the inner room and one of them slams the other one onto a divan. Well ok then!

Next morning, Betty tells Archie that she saw TBK. Because Kevin threw a hissy fit about his ‘vision’ being messed up, Betty is going to take over his part, and hold herself out as bait for TBK into the bargain. Archie doesn’t want her to do it, and Betty says he has to just be okay with her doing insane dangerous things.

Betty is not sure she wants picket fences or marriage or babies.

This was VERY CATHARTIC. Finally. FINALLY? Betty can stop trying to find the psychosis in babies and children and just admit, even without all the nonsense about genes and whatnot, she just doesn’t wanna do motherhood. Please?

And Archie confirms that he does in fact want these things. They defer the very important discussion until after the mission to capture TBK.

Betty immediately reports the results of this very personal, very intimate conversation with her boyfriend to her jealous never-girlfriend, Veronica. Betty is so vain, and we had another cathartic (for me ) moment, where Betty luxuriates in her favorite delusion about herself, that she is ‘too dark’ for some boy.

Veronica calmly points out that she’s killed more people. Husband and Father, and a Boyfriend accidentally. Betty’s hurried, “You don’t have to go there V” doesn’t sound like a friend trying to protect another from negative self talk. I just think Betty doesn’t like being confronted with the actual reality that she is not that special or extreme or unusual, as far as Riverdale residents go.

“We’re all dark in Riverdale, all right?”

Thank you.

Just in time, Agent Drake comes to summon them. The creepazoid Blackhood wannabe from last night is there with a confiscated gun. Drake takes out the trash. Betty is wearing a very questionable checked pattern pantsuit.

We’ve jumped forward in time. Betty and Veronica and Drake are all sad that TBK did not show up for Betty’s number. I actually like Betty’s singing voice and performance style a lot, but I am not in love with this musical (it’s noisy and tedious and tuneless) so I was for a moment very pleased that we’d be spared more songs from it, but I just don’t understand TV show editing.

Veronica takes her leave. Before she leaves Agent Drake asks a very Jughead question of Betty: “Who were you singing about? Archie or TBK?” The question hits home, so Betty refuses to answer.

While Betty sings a song that sounds very lovesick, we get a bit of the Barchie greatest hits reel, and it goes by slower than the Bughead greatest hits flashback we got a few episodes ago that assaulted Jughead like a migraine. She’s in Archie’s bedroom when she sees TBK in her bedroom!

She rushes to her mom’s house. Of course, the unnamed agent that they put on Charles-and-Alice detail is dead. TBK has tied up both Alice and Charles. Alice, instead of saying, LET’S GET OUT OF HERE when she’s unmuzzled, tells Betty where to go (the garage) and then says Don’t Go. Like Willy Wonka in the first version movie trying to prevent children from being mauled by the machines in his factory.

Betty and TBK have a long discussion about the Nature of Betty Cooper. TBK says they’re soulmates. He’s made a hideous trashbag mask for Betty to put on. He’s pretty convinced that putting the mask on will bring Betty over to the dark side. She shoots him forthwith.

When Betty comes back to her dining room to free her half brother and her mother, it’s implied that she’s been gone for a while after the gunshot, and then they show us that it’s true. She sat at the fully set dinner table and observed his corpse for a long time.

Percival is very pissed off about how badly things have gone.

Back with Archie, Betty relays the events of the evening to her boyfriend. “I fear that whatever is inside my dad [redacted] - that it’s inside me too.”

Well. This has to be why I refuse to identify with Betty Cooper. Huh. Oh my dad isn’t a serial killer or anything, just to be clear.

Betty and Archie affirm their commitment to each other. To his girlfriend that just killed a man and is super calm about it, Archie says, “TBK didn’t make you a killer. Your dad didn’t make you a killer.”

Then he conjures a memory (another one of Betty’s repressed memories) where the two of them saved and nursed a little bird back to health. (I have to ask - Is it possible Jughead was there and they both forgot him like they always have?) And this one act of childhood kindness and veterinary competence is supposed to fix everything. Betty’s very worried eyes, that stay worried even after the kiss, perhaps indicate that life in Riverdale doesn’t actually work this way at all.

Rewatching Riverdale to prepare myself for season 7. I haven't watched a single new ep past the first episode of Rivervale and have just been keeping up through Tumblr.

A couple things I noticed while re-binging /liked/disliked.

- the way the original couples got together was a sweet buildup of episodes despite what B*rchies like to claim.

Eg: Archie courting then dating Val and Veronica getting jealous, Ronnie making Archie face his fear and helping him feel safe, their sweet moments at the party, multiple stolen kisses and tiptoing to avoid hurting Betty. Over multiple episodes.

Eg 2: Jughead flirting with Betty and Betty's little "Juggie"'s, Jughead getting jealous of Betty going on a "date", them sleuthing Jason's room, sharing snacks, and Jughead comforting/protecting Betty only to ultimately and finally round up the courage to kiss her. Once again, over multiple episodes.

- A fault: They really did have these couples break up like every 3rd episode. I know that there's supposedly weeks in , but the timeline feels so messy and the makeup-breakup plot is tiring. If at least 2 out of the major 3 (BugVarChoni) were happy, that third was fucked over by something so petty or right out of left field. The first couple breakups from each party made sense, They were done to protect the other from getting hurt each time. But the rest feels like lazy writing. You can have couples fight and not just throw in the towel.

- You can't tell me that Riverdale doesn't have any magic in it. Not only did CAOS take place in RiverDALE at one point, but when Archie and Jughead go to deliver drugs in Greendale, Archie comes across a dead deer walking. Not to mention Cheryl's magic powers that show up later, but that's for another post.

- The whole "we have a gang but we are going to be lawful and awesome" thing is very cringe lmfao. They also mention the Hells Angel's once or twice about what they do for children around christmas. This is true. I'm a Canadian in Alberta and my uncles were all in the Hells Angel's when they were younger, however they also weren't some perfectly wholesome gang. They do heavy shit. The way they removed all the adults except for FP was also a weird choice, but it's probably because there's no way 40-50 year old gang bangers are going to let a 17 year old kid run the show.

- I'm in the midst of season 3 and I'm reminded at how much I hated the farm plot. The whole "Alice was working with Charles the whole time" thing feels just as thrown together rewatching it as it did when I first watched the twist.

Not to mention the hell that is sitting through Veggie Tales.

However I do wanna point out some plots I really loved to rewatch.

- Serpent!Alice Cooper/Smith. In love. The way she redeemed herself and every time was wearing snake skin was gorgeous and they look amazing on her.

- The midnight club was a great episode and plot. It was cheesy, sure, but it was interesting and made people invested in the parents for once.

- Falice felt very Romeo and Juliet. They honestly kind of remind me of Bughead now. Once incredibly in love, moved on with secrets, things left unsaid, and now no one knows their fate. They for sure would have been endgame is S.U. didn't leave the show.

- Betty's time at The Sisters of Quiet Mercy. I wasn't a fan of the gang not noticing/thinking she was at the farm, however I enjoyed it.

- Bughead and Varchie at Lodge Lodge. I want more that.

-Cheryl's coming out story. It made sense, and actually didn't really feel rushed at all. Cheryl never acted out of love or feelings until she met Toni. She tried to get something out of all the men she kissed on the show. There was never any indication that she genuinely liked any of them.

ANYWHO thats my thoughts so far without making this a million pages long.

Before Veronica, Betty and I were a couple. We dated from the beginning of middle school to middle of freshmen year of high school. The two of us didn’t work out and stayed friends. She actually ended up with Jughead and I ended up with Veronica after we got to know each other. The first few months were a dream, but once Kevin told her about mine and Betty’s past. Veronica went crazy.

“A little birdy told me that you and Betty dated for almost 3 years?” She said, bursting into my room. 

“Hello to you too.” I said with a raised brow. 

“Why the hell didn’t you tell me about you two? Do you still have feelings for her?” She asked with her arms crossed. 

“I didn’t mention it because I didn’t think it mattered. Betty and I didn’t work out and we’re just friends. I don’t have feelings for her anymore. Vee, you’re the only girl I have eyes for.” I said getting up and made my way to her. I placed my hands on her waist and pulled her closer. 

“So then why didn’t you tell me?” She asked again and I sighed. 

“Babe, you haven’t told me about every relationship you’ve been in. Why does it matter so much?” I asked. 

“Because she’s my best friend and she dated my boyfriend before! How do I know she doesn’t still have feelings for you?” She asked with a pout. 

“Veronica, I am telling you right now I do not have feelings towards Betty. She’s just a friend, nothing more. I need you to trust me.” I said and she sighed. 

“Of course I trust you, but Betty-” I cut her off with a kiss. 

“You don’t need to trust Betty, you just need to trust me.” I said and she smiled. 

“Fine, you’re lucky you’re so cute.” She said and I rolled my eyes with a smile. 

After that I thought we’d all be good, but I should have known Veronica was gonna be Veronica. Anytime Betty walked into the room she would snuggle up closer to me or kiss me. She would do anything to make sure her best friend knew I was hers. It was honestly really annoying. So when we were hanging with Archie and Kevin in the student lounge everything was relaxed and chill, but everything changed when Betty walked in. 

“Hey Betty, how are you holding up?” Kevin asked. Veronica clung to my arm and snuggled closer to me. 

“Holding up? What happened?” I asked confused. 

“#Bughead is no more, I thought Veronica was gonna tell you?” Kevin said and my eyes widened. I got up and hugged Betty. 

“I’m so sorry Betts. You alright?” I asked and she smiled up at me. 

“I’m fine Y/N/N, Thanks.” She said and I gave her a smile. 

“Let me take you to Pop’s, we haven’t had a BFF day in so long.” I smiled and hers brightened. 

“Y/N/N, baby, we have dinner plans tonight.” Veronica said. 

“Oh right, then tomorrow?” I asked and Betty nodded. 

“Sure, I’ll meet you there at 7?” She asked and I nodded. 

“Sounds good.” I smiled as the first bell rang. 

“Come lover-boy, we have class.” Veronica said and pulled me away. As soon as we got to her locker she was annoyed. 

“You’re really going out with Betty tomorrow?” She asked and I rolled my eyes. 

“Vee, she’s my best friend and I want her to know that I’m gonna be here for her while she’s going through her breakup. I thought you trust me.” I said and she slammed her locker. 

“I told you I trust you, it’s her I don’t trust!” She said. Before I could even answer she pulled me in for a kiss, but I pulled away after a few seconds. I glanced and saw Betty looking at us and I turned back to Veronica with a glare. 

“You’re acting crazy! Betty is your best friend, she’s not gonna try and steal me away from you! You need to get over your jealousy, and until you do I’m done.” I said and walked away. 

The next day I avoided Veronica and just stayed near friends. Then that night I met Betty at Pop’s. She was sitting in our booth and I smiled. 

“Hey Betts, I see you got my favorite already.” I sat down. 

“I heard that you and Veronica broke up.” She said and I furrowed my brow. 

“How?” I asked. 

“She came crying to me after school.” She said and I sighed. 

“So why did you break up with her? I thought you loved her.” She said. 

“She’s been insanely jealous ever since she found out we dated. She said she doesn’t trust you, so I’m shocked she ran to you.” I said. 

“Is that why she’s been extra clingy?” She asked with wide eyes. 

“Yes! It’s exhausting! I’ve told her a million times that we’re just friends and that if she doesn’t trust you, for whatever reason, she has to trust me. Don’t get me wrong Betty, you’re great and I still love you but just as a friend.” I said and she smiled. 

“I know Y/N/N, I feel the same way.” She said and grabbed my hand. 

“I knew it!” Someone shouted and we looked over to see Veronica stomping up to us. 

“Veronica? What are you doing here?” I asked. 

“I told you she can’t be trusted and apparently you can’t either! You two are literally having a date behind my back!” She shouted. I got up and gently grabbed her. 

“Veronica, you’re fucking blinded by jelousy. Betty and I were just saying how we love each other but as friends! I’m not cheating on you, I never would. I love you, but you being so fucking jealous is annoying!” I explained. 

“He’s right Vee, Y/N and I aren’t gonna go back to dating or anything like that. I don’t have feelings for him like I do Jughead.” She said and Veronica looked between us. 

“You two aren’t having a date?” She asked and we shook our heads. 

“No, I told you!” I said and she sighed. 

“God, I’m the worst…” She said. 

“You’re not the worst, I understand where you’re coming from.” Betty said and gave her a hug. 

"I'm so sorry, to both of you!" She said. 

"It's fine Vee, why don't you join us?" Betty offered. 

"If it's alright with Y/N?” Veronica asked while batting her eyelashes. 

“Of course it is babe, come here.” I said and pulled her to sit next to me. 

“I can’t believe you were jealous of me.” Betty laughed. 

“Well you and my boo did date so it’s only natural.” She defended. 

“Next time take my word babe, I told you I only have eyes for you.” I said and Betty nodded. 

“He told me how happy he is with you.” Betty smiled. 

“Really?” She asked. 

“Of course Vee, I love you.” I said and kissed the side of her head. 

“I love you too babe.” She said with a huge smile. 

“Oh I'm sorry Bee." Veronica frowned. 

"For what?" She asked confused. 

"You and Jughead just broke up and we're-" 

"Oh hush Vee, I love seeing you two back together. I was so worried my favorite ship had sunk." She said and we all laughed. 

"It'll take a lot more to sink us." I said and Veronica smiled.

Requested by: @theonequietblckgirl

Pairing: Archie Andrews x FemaleMccoy!Reader

Warnings: Angst, swearing, underage drinking, mentions of sex

AN: Hope this what you asked for 😊. Also this doesn’t follow the exact plot of the first episode of the series.

Word Count: 1853

Archie and Y/N had something in the summer. With her sister and her band she had no one else to hang out with. Then she started hanging out with Archie and hanging out turned into having sex. They both agreed to not involve feelings since it would make it more complicated and they didn’t want that.

But Y/N started to have feelings for him.

She knew that he didn’t feel the same since he was the one to recommend the no feelings part of their relationship. She knew he cared about her but just as friend he sometimes has sex with.

When the times they did hang out and didn’t have sex they had really meaningful conversations. They would make each other laugh and all in all they were happy with this arrangement.

But then the summer came to an end and so did their fling so it seemed.

When her and Archie didn’t hang out she hung out with Kevin and Betty. They knew about the thing between her and Archie and her feelings. She has known Betty and Keven ever since they were young and she knew she could trust them with this information.

Betty would lend a shoulder for Y/N to cry on when she talked about her feelings for Archie. And Kevin would always say the he had feelings for her to. But it was to hard to believe for Y/N.

She knew she shouldn’t have started his fling with him. She knew she would have a broken heart at the end of it.

Everything seemed to go back to normal at school except for the disappearance of Jason Blossom. Even thought Y/N didn’t know him she hope that he was ok. But she did know his sister Cheryl.

She didn’t exactly like Cheryl but wouldn’t start anything with. Y/N didn’t like Cheryl because she would always make fun of Betty and as friend of hers she would stick up for her which made Cheryl hate her.

Then Veronica Lodge came to the school.

She didn’t hate the girl but Y/N could sense that she liked Archie. But Y/N didn’t do anything since her and Archie weren’t even dating hell they weren’t even having sex anymore.

She couldn’t even hate Veronica for it. Since Veronica knew of her feelings and promised to stay away. But that didn’t help the nagging voice in the back of her mind that this wouldn’t end well.

Then the dance came.

Archie asked you which made Y/N’s heart race and could feel her body warm up and agreed to go with him a happy smile on her face.

Her and Betty helped each other with their outfits Betty didn’t go with anyone but that didn’t stop her being happy for Y/N.

Archie was a complete gentlemen, he held the door open for her, and held her hand.

The night was so magical.

The dance was romantic. Y/N could feel butterflies in her stomach whenever he looked at her. She hoped that her and Archie could have something more real.

Y/N and Archie talked the night away with smiles and laughs. She felt so much love for him and she hoped he felt the same for her.

Everything was perfect.

That was until they got into Cheryls after party were Y/N, Archie, Betty, and Veronica attended.

As the walked in Y/N sat next to Archie with Veronica on his other side.

When Cheryl started talking Y/N rolled her eyes at the red head not in the mood to deal with her.

She heard Cheryl talking about seven minutes in heaven. God this was such a sixth grade thing to do.

But unfortunately she saw that Archie would be going in the closet with Veronica which made Y/N take a deep breath to try and control her emotions.

She saw Betty give her sad look  and a comforting look in her eyes.

"So Y/N how was your summer," Y/N heard Cheryls condensing tone in her voice.

"Oh just great," Y/N answered Cheryl's question with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.

"What's going on with you and Archie," Y/N could hear humor in her voice which just made her roll her eyes.

"Why do you want to know," Betty stood up for Y/N which made her mentally thank Betty.

"Oh Betty I almost forgot you were here," Cheryl almost beamed with malice in her tone.

"I just don't think it's right for you to involve yourself if someone else's relationship," Betty snapped at Cheryl who just rolled her eyes in return.

Y/N felt bad for Cheryl after finding out Jason has been missing but times like this just made her hate Cheryl more and more. When she want after her friends and herself. Y/N doesn't know why Cheryl does this but it annoys the crap out of her.

"Listen before I get even more angry why don't just stick to your relationships and I'll stick to mine," Y/N stood up from the couch she had her voice at a steady calm breathing. She didn't want to get angry and focused on her breathing.

"Oh looks like times about up," Cheryl smirked as she walked over to the door to where Archie and Veronica were. Y/N hasn't notice it's been about 9 minutes which didn't follow the rules.

Y/N had a bad feeling in her stomach when Cheryl walked over to the door. She knew it was going to be something bad.

When Cheryl opened the door it revealed Veronica and Archie making out.

Y/N felt like she couldn't breath when she saw them kissing. She saw the two break apart and look at everyone in shock.

Y/N saw guilt flash both of their faces. She was about to cry and she didn't people to see her cry. She always prided her self in being a pretty confident girl. But right now she didn't feel like that.

Y/N didn't let either of them speak before she ran out of the door with tears rolling down her eyes.

Betty glared at Archie and Veronica. Then turned her eyes to Cheryl who had a malicious smirk on her face.

“This was your whole plan wasn’t it,” Betty asked while glaring at Cheryl.

“I just wanted to prove that Archie didn’t care for Y/N,” Cheryl shrugged not seeing with what she did wrong.

Betty shook her head before leaving running after Y/N wanting to comfort her friend. She left behind Archie and Veronica who let guilt set in.

Betty found Y/N in her car crying in her hands. Betty felt bad for her friend she had never experienced heart break herself but from looking at her friend she could feel it radiating from her.

Betty got into the car comforted her friend while hugging her for what felt like hours. When Y/N finally calmed down she dropped Betty off at her house and after reassuring her she was fine left or go to her own house.

Now she knew Archie didn’t have feelings for her.

For the next few days Y/N avoided Archie and Veronica which was hard since she had some classes with them.

After she went home she told Josie what happened which made her sister comfort her and to tell her everything would be fine.

During those few days her mother told her that there was this art school that Y/N got accepted in. She applied to this school during the summer with the permission of her parents. She only told Betty though.

She thought she wouldn’t get into that school.

Y/N was finally happy about something. She had been down ever since Cheryls party.

Her parents only allowed her to go to the school because there was some family close to the school that she wanted to go to.

The next day she told Betty who was overjoyed for her but sad that one of her friends wouldn’t be there. Y/N reassured her that they could talk and write each other which made Betty nod happy for her friend even though she was sad about that.

While she was packing her stuff out of her locker she felt someone walk up to her.

“Hey,” She heard Archie softly day. Y/N took a deep breath before turning towards him.

“Hey,” Y/N muttered turning her attention to her locker again.

“You’ve been avoiding me,” Archie pointed out after an awkward moment between the two.

“I wonder why,” Y/N scoffed.

“Y/N-,” Before He could continue Y/N put her hand and speaking herself.

“No I don’t want to hear it. I thought you asked me out I thought you liked me. I just I can’t pretend anymore that we are just friends,” Y/N shouted at Archie angry tears running down her face.

“Why are you packing your stuff,” Archie asked seeing all the stuff in her bad.

“I’m leaving I got accepted into an art school,” Y/N answered his question closing her locker after she was finished.

“This isn’t you. You wouldn’t go pack your stuff without telling anyone,” Archie explained with furrowed brows.

“Well I did tell someone I told the people who actually cared about me,” Y/N explained while glaring at him.

“I do care about you,” Archie pleaded with Y/N trying to get her to understand that he really did care about her.

“If you did you wouldn’t have kissed Veronica,” Y/N pointed out. “You broke my heart,” She whimpered trying to not let any of her tears fall.

“I know and I just want to prove to you that I really do care about. And ok now you’re going to say that I don’t but you’re wrong,” Archie began to explain. “I know I can never make it up to I just hope that one day you can forgive me,” He ended trying to not let tears fall from his eyes.

Y/N herself tried to not cry as she nodded. Even though he did hurt her she was going to miss him.

“Maybe one day,” Y/N whispered and she heard her own voice crack as a tear fell from her eyes.

“Just one last hug and I’ll leave,” Archie smiles and Y/N nodded letting him wrap his arms around her and she did the same. She took a deep breath and she smelled his cologne that she always loved.

When he pulled away he pressed his lips against hers softly seeing if she was going to kiss back. When she did they stood there kissing for a minute before they pulled back.

Archie walked away from Y/N and leaving the school.

Y/N let out a sad smile and let out a sniffle before grabbing her stuff and left herself setting her self on a new journey.

Riverdale 5x03 Recap

Jellybean was born and raised in Riverdale though?? She only moved to Ohio after her mom left FP

Good on FP for doing what’s best for his daughter but probably should have told Alice beforehand that you’re skipping town

We’re ending this era of Riverdale as it began with Tom Keller as Sheriff. Hope he has a scene with his son tonight!

Jughead saying those kids almost looked innocent asleep was pretty messed up of him. 1) those are clearly homeless kids having to sleep in a fucking gym and 2) as bad as the voyeur vids were they still pale in comparison to the crimes that high school kids have been involved in over the years

Oooh man that Luke Perry is just brutal

It’s crazy to think of how far the show has come since that first scene of Cheryl and Jason Blossom in all white heading down to the river

Alice might be the most tragic living character on Riverdale, her life has just been wrecked over and over and over

It’s awful how realistic the army recruitment booth inside the school is. The Saved by the Bell reboot had a great joke about military recruitment of teens (it’s a much better show than Riverdale and I highly recommend it and it’s already been renewed for S2)

It’s nice that they brought Weatherbee back for the final high school eps

LOL at the Red Circle shade

The yearbook as a device to look back at some of the show’s history is clever. Also reveals how clearly chapter 79 which was supposed to be the S4 finale was also being written as a possible series finale

It’s very odd that Archie’s poor grades of all things are what the writers just to be realistic about. Nice of Weatherbee to let Archie walk with his friends though

Ladies and Gentlemen that could possibly be the last Varchie sex scene we ever see

Considering the US only abolished conscription after the Vietnam war, I don’t think those 4 students back in 1945 had much of a choice in joining the army. Although they lucked out with the timing since the war with Japan would end within months while they were still in basic training

Not Archie lying to both Jughead and Veronica about his post high school plans

FP telling Jughead he’s old enough to be on his own is rich considering Jughead was basically homeless and on his own in S1

Good on Cheryl for getting her red robe

Finally Tom Keller gets a scene with his son!

Omfg I can’t handle this Archie cover of Green Day

Yaas Penelope lurking in the bushes. I’m gonna miss that Queen, hope she gets out of jail soon enough

RIP Falice. It will never cease to amaze me that right when the obstacles that should have stopped Bughead such as their parents being in a relationship and their shared half-brother are swept away that Bughead is being broken up

Well good bye for now and maybe forever FP Jones. You were the best of the surviving fathers which is admittedly a hell of a low bar

Pop’s is rightfully restored to Pop Tate

Kevin mentioning Josie and the Pussycats threw me

I guess from now on we’ll always see Jughead without that stupid hat, that’s weird

These grad scenes have been surprisingly poignant but they fall flat when they include the wider group. How many lines have Kevin, Fangs, Reggie, and Sweetpea even had lately? Has Kevin done anything of note since Hedwig? We’re a long way from when he was Betty’s best friend. And what has Reggie been up to? I noticed his dad wasn’t at grad, is that because he’s dead? Is there ever gonna be a follow up on Reggie smashing his dad’s car?

Don’t have a great feeling about this vow

Archie sure knows how to kill the mood. The worst thing about Archie’s speech is its accuracy. The US military really does offer a path to a middle class existence especially for kids with no other options. The life outcomes for people without high school degrees are grim and Archie really is grasping the last, best way to try and turn around his life

This Choni breakup is so sad 

The CW is wildin out letting Betty take off her bra for sex. What a bizarre transition from tearful confession to sex. Perhaps the last Bughead sex scene we’ll ever see

Just realized that Vegas will very likely be dead by the time we pick back up in 7 years

These scenes would have more impact if the show had focused on the Archie/Jughead and Veronica/Betty friendship

Wow bringing the old car out for one last drive

These flashbacks are sad, especially the Luke Perry one

God I hope Nana Rose survives the 7 year gap

Jesus Christ, so Jughead had a home he could have stayed in but decided to squat at Archie’s instead??

Poor Jughead being the only one to keep the vow

Well this really is the end of an era. Riverdale will never be the same after this episode. From the promos we know that Veronica is married to a controlling wall street douche, Archie is wounded overseas, Betty is an FBI agent, and Jughead a writer. The crisis that brings them all back is Hiram dissolving the town of Riverdale for his nefarious ends

Veronica marrying a man who shares some traits with Hiram is not surprising though the fact that she’s married is interesting, both in that there’s no way that marriage will last and in how her husband is jealous of her past with Archie, it’s an easy way to start heading towards Varchie again if the writers choose. There’s no way that Betty would be get in to the FBI with a serial killer father and half brother but we’ll see what new killer the writers can come up with. It looks like Jughead is a tortured artist. I appreciate the costume designers for making Archie’s military uniform so retro that it looks like he’s being shipped off to Korea to stop it going the way of Red China 

Looking back it’s extremely bizarre that they did what they did with Barchie. It really served no purpose since they all would have gone their separate ways anyways

Well looks like Cheryl hasn’t been successful in thwarting Hiram. I would imagine that much of Veronica’s story after the time gap is her wrestling with whether to take on her father and to claim the Lodge legacy for herself once and for all. Archie had always been her guiding light in that regard and we’ll see if can play that role in the future

This 7 year gap brings the characters ages up to 25 which is much closer to the actor’s actual ages which will help in that regard. But time jumps are tricky and 7 years is quite a gap, double the length of time that these first 79 eps have lasted. Sadly, Riverdale was renewed for a 6th season but realistically the bulk of the series has now passed and whatever adventures the gang gets up to as adults will get far less time dedicated to them. Some sort of time jump was probably always necessary if the show lasted as long as it had but I’m skeptical that Riverdale can pull it off. Until next week Riverdalers

[lucivar]

Sliding in here to ask: if you had full creative control of the show, how would you run season 5? You can pick and choose whatever leaks you want to include.

HELLO! SLIDE AWAY ***creepy winks***

Okay so forgive me here because I am trying to be “consistent” with the Riverdale theme by being ludicrously batshit (affectionate). I haven’t actually been keeping up to date about the S5 spoilers, so this will be a divergence from reality (aka I chipping all the plotlines) and is filled with nonsense. As the person who has control over Riverdale S5, I now get to ultimately decide how S4 ends – which is awesome – so I come up with three scenarios to solve for 4x17 and so this answer will be “what happens to bughead”?

None of them involve a time jump.

1) KISS HYSTERIA, aka Jughead Jones versus the World, aka the zombieland fiasco Butchering sullypants’s awesome theory, I want to say that Charles and Chic have spent most of S4 (while Betty has been preoccupied with the Stonies and Jughead has been dead) mass hypnotising everyone in Riverdale (look, if Hiram can cause seizures in all the young females in Riverdale due to the concentration of chemical run-off in the storm water system, I maintain that this can happen due to “River!science”.) for them to be “triggered” during the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. This leads to the whole of Riverdale High believing they have made out with Betty and 4x17 was actually a fever dream had by a hypnotised Archie. Prom night is Shaun of the Dead style vibes with Betty and Jughead fighting off hypnotised friends. Jughead and Betty spend the rest of the season hunting Charles and Chic, who have set up shop in a zephyr (which flies overhead, and C&C wear predictably period costumes with hectic moustaches) and broadcasts trigger words and sounds to the Riverzombies below, which Betty has to fight off (because they all adore her and want to be with her forever) and Jughead is predictably jealous/enraged/pointy. The adrenaline makes them super horny though, that is key.

2) THE KISS WAS REAL BUT SPARKS DELICIOUS DARK!BUGHEAD Betty comes clean to Jughead about the kiss 5x01 and Jughead is understandably upset. However, they talk about it like mature adults and Betty confesses to wanting to “not think for once” and Jughead is like “well I see how you went to Archie” and then Betty smiles and says, “I thought about killing him” and Jughead whispers back “I think about it all the time.” They decide that the only ever feel alive when they are plotting and killing people and decide to take over the town and become the real King and Queen of Riverdale once and for all. They exile Hiram (#prayforHiram), take over the drug business, destroy Charles/Chic and put the Mothman’s head on a stake warning off entry. Veronica handles the business management aspect of the drug ring because bughead are too busy fucking each other and killing people to think about bookkeeping.

3) THE KISS WAS REAL BUT BDSM SAVES US, aka Bughead Does Smut and Mystery As per (2), Betty comes clean to Jughead about the kiss 5x01 and Jughead is understandably upset. There are a couple of episodes of angst and the two work independently on the mystery of the video tapes, and provoke each other with wild conjecture and theories. Jughead spins out with some wild conspiracy theory and Betty confronts him. This turns them on and they then start sleeping together and “hanging out”, leading for them to have a real conversation about the trauma of the past couple of years and how they need each other for sanity (read: insanity). Together, they discover that Hiram Lodge was behind the video tapes, because it’s ancient technology and Hiram has been sick (#prayforHiram) and super bored, so he ~just wanted some teenagers to fuck with~.  Who stars in the videos, you ask? The Ghoulies, who have been out of work and threatened to unionise. Hiram hates a union, so he hires them on acting minimum wage. The Mothman turns out to be either (1) DuPont, who never killed himself but is out for revenge over his school losing status (2) someone Bret puppeteers from prison as a fucked-up love letter to Jughead or (3) Edgar Evernever who has found a way to construct a new body from all the parts he harvested, and Chic/Charles transfer his consciousness to the new body (probably played by Channing Tatum).

In all scenarios:

Fangs/Kevin become a tickling SENSATION due to their black market fan base after Honey orders them to take the videos down and Riverdale becomes a media circus. Many paparazzi die.

Vegarchie becomes canon

Toni takes over the Serpents because it is her birthright.

Bret sends homoerotic fanfic to Jughead who dramatically reads it to Betty and they bitch about his shit plots ***laughs insufferably***

Veronica wins a landmark lawsuit against her father and seizes control of the rum business. Cheryl rejoins her and they kill Hiram together (#prayforHiram), hopefully with arrows.

This whole time we learn that Hermione has been poisoning Hiram with arsenic a la “Flowers in the Attic” style with powdered doughnuts. Way to go Hermoine!

The fuckbunker is in every episode

We learn Sweet Pea’s real name (It’s Sebastian).

Season 6 is held in New York after Jughead reapplies and gets in to Yale and he and Betty stumble across a serial killer cold case involving catacombs and opium dens.

How would I choose which one? Well, I would make one of those weird chatterbox things we all made in school, go up to RAS and say “pick a colour, any colour” and that’s how S5 would happen.

Riverdale S5 Ep8 Thoughts *Spoilers*

Thoughts under cut to keep tag smooth :)

- NOT KEVIN CHEATING ON FFANGS… so how exactly did they stay together for seven years I—FANGS DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER

- Betty and Archie 🥺🥺 this scene was a so much cuter than I expected

- Snarky!Jughead normally would have annoyed me but thankfully that wasn’t the case this time

- Oh yeah Juniper and Dagwood I forgot all about them tbh

- Imagine having a hot ass boyfriend like Fangs and CHEATING oh him. Oh… open relationship. Oh. Um. Sorry for the judging… anyways Fangs and Reggie when?

- Veronica hiring Archie yay besties!! Not her looking at his lips though...

- JERONICA INTERACTION AND AWKWARD BUGHEAD YAH

- Everyone saw this coming, Toni being the surrogate for Kangs. The engagement wasn’t something I thought about but it’s still not surprising.

- What is this over the top anger from Cheryl?? Toni not being able to have children the older she gets :(

- LUCY HALE??? Katy Keene is in this ep?

- BETTY IS GONNA TELL KEVIN!!!! Lol him being like “god please tell me we’re not gonna have to go through you and Jughead again ugh” same Kevin

- Jughead seeing the alien mmhm interesting

- “Or are you too distracted by my beauty?” okay Ms. Marble we know you’re absolutely gorgeous

- I don’t get why Cheryl’s acting like this, like Toni’s pregnancy has anything to do with her

- Chad being spotted with an heiress lol okay loser you have VERONICA FUCKING LODGE

- Not Veronica using Archie to make Chad jealous… no we don’t want Varchie!!!!!!!!!!

- So how exactly is a key party fucking with Toni?? Cheryl that makes no sense lol but whatever

- Betty’s nightmare and her calling the one person who’s ever made her feel safe UGHHH FUCK Barchie has me in a chokehold 🥺😭

- Is Archie gonna realize Betty is similar to him

- WE! DO! NOT! WANT! VARCHIE!!!! They’re not good for each other and having Archie suddenly out of nowhere talking about how there may still be something still between him and Veronica… because… she wanted a selfie….??? God fuck these writers they’re so!?!?! but honestly as long as Bughead stays dead idc they’re the biggest reason this show sucked ass

- How can Fangs not realize why Kevin is saying all of that… like isn’t it sus to him lol

- Jabitha muah

- Wait Jughead’s done DRUGS? Bro-

- I know we won’t get it bc they all hate Jeronica’s but I wish we could get a Jeronica key party kiss smh

- Veronica looks so good but I hate her using Archie like that

- Chad’s on a train back to Riverdale for a key party lol

- It’s so weird that Cheryl invites Reggie bc currently he’s their enemy rn

- Kevin and Betty actually talking like friends again <3

- Wow Fangs brought the guy Kevin was with in the beginning who’s NOT surprised? Also Minerva scheming with Cheryl is so…? sigh literally why

- Wow Veronica got Archie’s keys, who’s NOT surprised?

- Chad going to a key party to not let Veronica key party… lol what a loser.

- Rules are it has to be consenting but then she’d be okay with Jughead’s clearly drunk ass choosing which negates that… mmhm

- The Reggie and Fangs kiss was highkey very exciting and I wasn’t expecting it… You know you fucked up with writing a relationship when one kiss (Reggie and Fangs) was more exciting than the entire relationship…

- This Choni scene feels straight out of a horror movie… Toni feels trapped with Cheryl, how are they going to be able to get past this?? 😭😭😭

- Jabitha is so cute. Like it still annoys me that they’re literally what Jeronica would have been if given the chance and everyone who made fun of Jeronica’s is loving them

- Reggie being 100% straight </3 we can’t hc his sexuality anymore there goes my bi/pan brothers Reggie and Sweet Pea

- God poor Fangs…

- “I still have feelings for Veronica” man fuck this show we don’t want Varchie

- “We should make sense” Betty…??? you literally do you make sense than ANYONE

- But both of them thinking their darkness will eat each other up gives me hope though

- It’s annoying that Betty keeps calling Barchie an escape when that’s literally what her and Jughead solely were

- Tabitha’s toilet is so cute wtf

- Minerva and Cheryl’s kiss is so cute though, so aesthetically pleasing

- Veronica divorcing Chad as she should, finally. Though, to randomly have feelings for Archie again is not it smh

- Anyways, I’ll always manifest Jeronica Barchie endgame

- God they made Veronica so awful this episode I hate it sm

- This VA kiss wasn’t even as cute or hot like when they were teenagers lol sucks that they don’t have anything going for them anymore

- Stop potentially killing Polly </3

- What was that preview……….

[raymondebidochonlifechoices]

To summarise:

- Is it football as a metaphor for war OR war as a metaphor for football? With Riverdale it’s hard to tell, but, in any case, it involves: a football field, explosions and Mark Consuelos.

- After 7 years of enforcing peace overseas, hero Sergeant Andrews is sent back to Riverdale to deal with domestic sh**.

-Said domestic sh** is the fault of Hiram Lodge’s So Dale plan. Who would have thought that Veronica’s ongoing feud with daddykins in s2-4 was instrumental in distracting Hiram and delaying Riverdale’s decline?

- The writers are a bunch of cowards who made himbo of my heart, Reginald Mantle, work for Hiram.

- Meanwhile the Serpents managed to scrape enough money to buy housing re-open the Whyte Wyrm. In Pop’s basement. Which belonged to Hiram. Who let bygones be bygones and sold them the place. Wait, what?

- The Ghoulies have taken over Archie’s house and my reaction is mirth. Am I a terrible person?

- Not playing by the book has consequences, but only if your name is Betty: she has been held prisoner by a serial killer, who then escapes. I expect him to come back in 5x18. Points if he turns out to be her current FBI agent boyfriend.

- Therapy in FBI in s5 works as well as it did in RHS in s 4. Betty’s repressing stuff like a champ.

-Veronica’s marriage is in shambles: Chad’s jealous of her professional success, Veronica lies to him about her job and the sex isn’t good any more. Instead of finding herself a spot in The Real Housewives of New York, like Hermione, Veronica decides to come back to Riverdale. Why?

- Toni has a new super important role, playing … Archie’s tourist guide. I’m anxiously awaiting the next episodes to see whether the promise of her own plot line will be kept or not.

- Jughead’s office nook looked great and I’ll be sad to see it go …

- Jughead’s a successful published writer with writer’s block, debts, and a crazy fangirl/stalker, whom Betty will be definitely out-Donnaing sometime in the future.

- Note: Jughead’s dept collectors look like people that Penny Peabody would hire.

- I’m bathing myself in Bughead’s Unresolved Tension eau de cologne as I type.

- A girl named Lynette decides to take a ride on a track with a human skeleton tied in the front. Not the worst decision made in this show. Not the brightest either.

- Cleanliness is next to godliness and since no one took a shower in this episode, they’ll be rectifying that in the next one. It’s probably barchie, which doesn’t bode well for Betty’s unnamed FBI agent boyfriend that no one cares about.

One down. Fifteen more opportunities for the writers to fuck up! Yee-haw!

[soyforramen]

Someone Else

He wasn’t jealous. He couldn’t be jealous.  He didn’t do jealous.

After all, Jughead had no reason to be irritated by the closeness that fae had been to her.  It wasn’t any of his business if she was alright with the fae leaning in close and whispering in her ear.  Nor was it any concern of his that she’d laughed and blushed a brilliant pink, the color bringing a fetching glimmer of life to her cheeks.

They were only partners in crime, after all.  Strangers with a common goal.

Besides, he had his own avenues of interest to pursue.  Leads to track down.  Away from Betty Cooper and her witchyness.

He’d spent most of the morning trying to come up with someone else he could interrogate, anyone who might know something about where Archie had gone to. Veronica hadn’t given him anything other than the blonde in the bar (and how he wished she hadn’t).  Pacing the length of his small apartment only wound him up further as Betty’s scent still lingered in the air almost a month later. He’d left the windows open for a week at a time, directing the small box fan to blow the air out of the apartment.  The bedsheets had been washed, bleached, and changed four times and yet her scent teased him whenever he lay down.

Not for the first time did he curse the preternatural senses that had been pressed upon him.

The sun was just rising when his phone buzzed and he leapt towards it.  Expecting one woman’s name, he scowled when another’s came up on the screen.

“Torombolo, if we’ve had this discussion once, we’ve had it a million times.  I cannot concentrate when you’re stomping up and down all night,” Veronica chastised.  She clicked her tongue in disapproval.  “I realize you cannot possibly comprehend what I do, but it’s a delicate art form that requires a clear mind and calm atmosphere.  Now, please.  Settle the fuck down.”

The call ended and Jughead threw his phone out the window in anger.  It clattered on the slowly waking streets below.  

Impulsivity was never his strong suit and he was shocked he’d acted without thinking.  Grabbing his beanie, he threw it on and stepped out onto the fire escape.  He was itching for a fight.  

From thirteen stories up he could see all the possibilities, all the ways he could assuage his restlessness.  From the sirens in the bay to the trolls beneath the bridge, every single magical creature in the city was on edge, ready to defend themselves against anything that might be a threat.  The disappearances had been increasing lately.  Covens and clans and packs were closing rank.  Suspicions ran high and tensions were beginning to boil over.

Anything he might do now, the wrong word or unmeant slight, could cause a civil war in the streets.

Unable to escape his restlessness, he went down the fire escape and stopped outside of Veronica’s window.  It had been at least twenty years since he’d sought her out, and her apartment decor was the only thing that had changed.  The dark Victorian wallpaper cast a somber mood, countered by the hardwood furniture’s more modern upholstery.  Overall, the room portrayed a modern sort of luxury, one that pulled from the past to create a cohesive sense of atmosphere.  Perfect for a medium still trying to scam socialites out of their hard-inherited money.

Unlike other scammers, Veronica Lodge, as she was now known, was the real deal.  Rumored to have been Pythia of Delphi, she’d been a whisper among the underground for more than a millennia.  She’d been the one to give him the only lead on Archie he’d found.  And in doing so had opened a Pandora’s box like no other.  

Without anything else to go on, Jughead realized he’d have to reach out to her once again.  Even if she didn’t find anything, at least it would be enough to take his mind off her.

He rapped against the window and Veronica fell out of her seat, her eyes still white from her trance.  She blinked a few times and the dark, onyx eyes focused on him.  With a scowl, she brushed off her dress and stormed to the window.

“What.  The.  Hell?” she hissed.

Jughead brushed past her into the apartment.  She’d updated the paintings on her wall, something modern and utterly devoid of any life.

“You can’t just barge in here,” Veronica snapped.  “Aren’t there rules about that sort of thing?”

He shrugged.  There were rules about invitations into a dwelling, but since her last invitation was never revoked…

“Archie’s still missing,” he said in a flat tone.

She frowned and crossed her arms.  “And that’s my problem how?”

It wasn’t.  But it didn’t stop the need to do something.  There was a frustrating itch of helplessness, one that Jughead didn’t know how to scratch.  When he began to pace, Veronica groaned and muttered in Latin.  He’d been around her long enough to know the general meaning of her words, but when she questioned his lineage he ignored her.

“If it will get you out of my apartment, I will make a few calls.”

Jughead stopped.  Her web of connections was vast, a global web of communication that rivaled any government with its depth.  A function and consequence of her immortality, any information Veronica gleaned would be worth its wait in gold.  Such an offer, though, never came with such little consideration on his part.  

Sourly, he asked why.

Veronica pressed a hand to her forehead.  “Because, Forsythe, if I don’t you’ll be skulking around my apartment for the rest of eternity because you refuse to deal with your own issues through a therapist like the rest of us.”

He curled his lip at that.  “I don’t have issues,” he muttered.

“Obviously, you do.  If it were anyone else I’d think you were hung up on someone romantically,  but -“

She paused, her eyes focused on him.  He’d made the mistake of going stock still, his body stiffening; such a contrast to his normally laconic posture was catnip to someone like Veronica.

“Oh?  I didn’t realize you and Archie -“

“It’s not Archie,” Jughead snapped.  

Instantly realizing his mistake, he groaned.  He’d fallen for the oldest trick in the book, and now Veronica looked more like a cat burglar let loose in an unguarded Louvre than she ever had before.  Gracefully she lowered herself onto a chaise lounge and propped her head up with a hand, the picture of classic Hollywood.

“Perhaps it’s this witch you’ve been swanning about town with?  The two of you have stirred up a lot of idle gossip with your snooping.”

“I don’t swan,” Jughead murmured.  He sulked his way to an overstuffed arm chair and threw himself into it, dust flying around him in the early morning sun.

“Do tell,” Veronica said.  “I’m sure if I have something tidbit of juicy gossip to offer my friends will be more than happy to talk.”

Jughead huffed, hemming and hawing through his protestations.  It wasn’t long before he’d started from the beginning, haltingly, his words chosen carefully, until his natural inclination as a storyteller took over and he laid his story bare.

“I’ll make a few calls, if you let me in on all the juicy secrets you’re hiding under that moth eaten yarn of yours,” Veronica said.

Jughead huffed, hemming and hawing if nothing else for show.  But before long he’d started from the beginning, haltingly and choosing his words carefully, before his natural inclination as an author took over and he laid his story bare.

Betty//Dark Secret

Request: Can I request a Betty/Reader where you find out about "Dark" Betty and you and her both realise you're kinda into it when it comes to the bedroom, maybe you defend her/comfort her after the round of Sins and Secrets at the party?

Warnings: No smut, but a bit on the risqué side (oooo)

“Hey ba-Woah!” You stop mid-sentence as you walk into your girlfriends room, dropping the bouquet of flowers you had in your hand. 

Betty had invited you over to hang out for the day seeing as though her parents weren’t in and she was bored. You were supposed to go over a bit later in the day but decided to go over a little early to surprise her. Plus, any excuse to spend more time with her was a plus point. 

“Y/n!” Her eyes widen while she scrambles about to find something to cover herself up. “What are you doing here? You’re an hour early!?” 

“I thought I’d surprise you.” You shrug, not entirely sure where to look. There she was, stood in front of you in a black lacy bra, black skirt, choker and dark black wig, making your brain stop for a good few seconds. “But, I think you’re the one doing the surprising.” You add, your voice lowering while you bite your bottom lip. You look her up and down while a bright blush spreads over her face. “Damn.” You mumble. “Not that I’m complaining.” You start, moving towards her. “But what exactly are you doing?” You ask, pushing the robe off her shoulders and letting it fall to the ground. 

“Just trying something out.” She mumbles. “Its stupid.” 

“Its not.” You reply, looking her in the eye. She still has a blush on her cheeks and you don’t know how you got a girl that can be adorable and sexy at the same time. “You look hot.” 

“Whatever.” She shakes her head. “Anyway, what did you want to do today?” She asks, turning away from you. 

“You?” You reply, a smirk on your lips and she rolls her eyes, turning back to face you. “I’m being serious. Well, I was thinking we could maybe go shopping or something, we do need to get the decorations for Jughead’s party, but thats next week so we have plenty of time. Right now, I’d rather stay in and well, you know.” 

“Babe.” She blushes. 

“We can go shopping if you want.” You reply and turn around. 

“No.” She says quickly, grabbing your hand and pulling you back to her. “I wanna stay in too. I’ll just get changed and then we can, you know...” She trails off and starts to take her outfit off. 

“Keep it on.” You grab her hand, stopping her from doing anything. 

“What?” She asks, standing up properly. 

“Keep. It. On.” You repeat slowly and she looks down at herself before back at you and nodding. 

“Okay.” 

-------

“What the hell is Secrets and Sins?” Jughead asks. The majority of the people have some how been roped into playing this stupid game and you and Betty are sat beside each other on the sofa. Your hand in hers, while you down the rest of whatever the hell Archie put in your cup. 

“Its a variation on Truth or Dare…in which we own our truths by telling it like it is. I’ll start the game with…Veronica Lodge.” Cheryl explains to the group of teenagers all sat in a circle and you’re now starting to regret agreeing to this. Suck and Blow would have been a better game than this, a lot of shit goes on in Riverdale. A lot of shit people don’t want others to know about. 

“Naturally.” Veronica replies sarcastically.

“Let’s begin with the day you and your mob wife of a mother came to town for a so-called fresh start. Tell us Veronica, what’s so fresh about defiling Archie Andrews in a closet?”

“That was your doing.” She replies confused, her arms crossing defensively against her chest. You and Betty share a look before looking at Jughead, he looks like he wants to be anyway else but here, and to be honest you can’t blame him. You knew he’d hate this, but Betty insisted because of how much he’d been through and there’s not much you’ll say no to when it comes to your girlfriend. 

“Moving on to dear Daddy Lodge…Isn’t it true that your father, from prison, illegally purchased the drive-in land? Which makes me wonder, what else is he doing behind bars?” 

“Well, I can’t speak for my father…but I can think of someone with a very dirty secret. Specifically, Cheryl killing her very own brother.” The tension in the room increases and everyone looks at each other. 

“Shit.” You mutter. “Do I have any dirty secrets that anyone knows.” 

“Only me, and don’t worry. Your secrets are safe with me.” She reassures you and you let out a deep breath. 

“Everyone knows how much I loved my brother.” Cheryl defends herself.

“Exactly.” Veronica replies. “But did you love him, maybe in ways that a sister shouldn’t love a brother? And as you got older, Jason started to think it was strange, unnatural. So he chose Polly over you. So you shot him between the eyes with one of your father’s many hunting rifles.”

“This is riveting. I can’t breathe.” Kevin whispers excitedly to Joaquin.

“This game is sick.” Dilton stands up and you roll your eyes while Cheryl wipes away the tears on her cheek. “I wanna go next.” He adds making everyone look at him.

“Thats the spirit, Doiley. What secrets do you have to reveal to us?” Chuck says happily.

“I saw Ms. Grundy’s car by Sweetwater River the day Jason went missing.” He admits and everyone gasps. You, Betty and Archie side glance each other and shift uncomfortably in your seats. “I told Betty and Y/n, and then Ms. Grundy quit her job and left Riverdale, like, two days later. And lets not forget that Archie was also at Sweetwater River that morning.”

“Oh, my God.” Cheryl whips her head round to look at Archie. “Colour me shocked. Archie Andrews, is that why you became a mediocre musician overnight? Because you and Ms. Four-Eyes were pulling a Mary Kay Letourneau?”

“Don’t say anything. Don’t get in the gutter with them.” Veronica tells him. 

“Wait, what? Andrews was banging a teacher?” Chuck says impressed and you roll your eyes.  “I wish I would’ve known. I would have added you and Ms. Grundy to the book of conquests.” 

“Classy, Chuck, as always.”

“Wait a second.” Cheryl interrupts. “That also explains why Archie can’t seem to keep a girlfriend to save his life. He’s got serious mommy issues. Anything to say for yourself Arch? Were you a victim or a perpetrator?” She says and you look at Archie. You can tell he’s getting uncomfortable and kind of upset and you need to do something quick. You look at Betty and she looks around the room, trying to think of something to say. 

“Dilton Doiley plays with guns.” She interjects, but is immediately shut down.

“Big whoop, Betty. So Doiley’s a psychopath. Everyone knows that.”  

“Well, I guess its my turn now. Boy, do I have a twisted secret to reveal, starring Betty Cooper.” Chuck turns to the two of you and your grip on her hand tightens while your eyes narrow. You’re staring daggers at Chuck and Betty struggles to keep you sat down. 

“Leave her the hell alone, Chuck.” Archie threatens.

“Shut up, Andrews.” He replies. “Look, you may get a free peep show every night, but you do not know her. Hell, Betty doesn’t even know herself. Everybody knows why I got suspended, but what you don’t know…she dressed up like a hooker, in a God-awful black wig, drugged me, handcuffed me in the Jacuzzi, and well, I almost drowned until she got me to say what she wanted to hear. And then she really lost it. She actually thought she was Polly.” He winks at you. “But, hey, you knew all about this right, Y/n. Does she do that with you too, or was it just a special treat for me?” You’re standing up in an instant, Betty and Archie following quickly, each with a hand on your arm to keep you from doing anything stupid. 

“Oh grow up, Chuck. Its the 21st century. The only person having missionary sex is you and whoever the girl your disappointing is.” You retort and his jaw clenches. “And if it makes you feel any better, I’m the one that suggested she do all that to you, to make you crack. You are an asshole, and you deserved everything she did to you.” You slowly make your way towards him. “So do us all a favour, and find someone else to annoy. Or better yet, go home and satisfy the only thing you know how to...yourself. But even then, I’m sure thats a disappointment too.” You say the last part quietly, glancing down before looking back at him, a small smile gracing your features before you shove past him. Betty follows after you, saying goodbye and sorry to Archie, Veronica and Jughead before grabbing your jackets and running after you. 

“Babe!” She shouts and you stop on the sidewalk, turning around and smiling brightly at her. “I got your jacket.” She says and you take it from her gratefully. 

“Thanks.” You reply and the two of you start to walk back to yours.

“I’m sorry.” She sighs. 

“That party sucked anyway.” You shrug. 

“No, I mean for everything. You didn’t have to say that stuff you know. About how you told me to do it. I don’t even know what I was thinking when I did it. Its like a red-mist came over me.” She shakes her head and you frown.

“What did you expect me to do? Let Chuck talk about my girlfriend like that? I don’t think so.” 

“I suppose.” She sighs sadly. “God, I’m so embarrassed. People are gonna be talking about my ‘kinky’ side forever. Think of the nicknames, and everything else. I’m such an idiot. I never should have put on that stupid wig, or done any of that stuff with Chuck.” 

“I think people are going to be talking about Cheryl wanting to fuck her brother and Chuck’s disappointing sex life more.” You nudge her shoulder softly and she smiles a little. “And even if they do say anything, I’ll be there to defend you. Always. Plus, I like your kinky side.” You wink at her and she lets out a giggle. “You look damn hot in that wig and Chuck should be grateful that he got to see it.” 

“Babeeeee.” She rolls her eyes. 

“What?” You ask. “Its true. I feel lucky every time I get to see you in general, let alone like that. Everyone in there was just jealous because they have to use their imagination, when I get the real deal.” 

“Thank you.” She smiles at you gratefully. ���Seriously, you’re the best.” 

“I have an idea of how you could really show me how grateful you are.” You say with a smirk and she laughs loudly, a blush starting to creep up her neck. 

“I think I have an idea too.” 

“Oh yeah?” You ask. “Whats that?” 

“I’m gonna fuck you so hard your neighbours will know my name.” She whispers in your ear and you gulp, your face turning bright red. 

“I-I, err I was thinking about you-err just buying me Pop’s.” You splutter. “But that works too.” You say quickly and she grabs your hand, pulling you towards your house, anything that happened at the party instantly forgotten.

Dating Veronica Lodge and staying over the first time

• V first put eyes on you while she was having an argument with Archie. He had said he wanted to take a break to focus on his music, so there was that. If music was so great, she would show him she was even better.

• She'd known you in passing, and you sat behind her in chemistry, so starting a conversation shouldn't be that hard. A compliment here, a seat next to you at lunch there, soon enough the two of you were texting regularly.

• It didn't take long for her to get touchy with you. She ended up taking lunch with you every other day, and cuddling you through. She kept telling herself it was to make Archie jealous, but everyone else could see she was getting close to you.

• After the rumor you two were already dating got to her, she decided to just ask you out. You were nicer than Archie, hotter too, and if she got feelings for you so what? You were a definite upgrade. Still, she didn't want it to be too public, worried it would make you back down, so she prepared something at her house.

• V made sure nobody except Betty and Cheryl would know. A day before, she told them there would be a sleepover at her house, and invited you too in passing, before explaining it through text. Of course you went.

• Her house was intimidatingly big, and her parents even more so, but she had made sure you'd spend as little time with them as possible and as much as you could alone.

• When you entered her bedroom, you were sure she'd try to sleep with you. What you didn't expect was a game of 20 questions, to get to know each other better.

• It soon ended up with the two of you ranting about your problems, and making fun of them. It was nice, seeing her open like that.

• You didn't go to sleep that night. After talking and talking until the early hours of morning, you both were sleep deprived enough to stop worrying. It's unknown who started the make out session, but for sure you both regretted it being stopped by your phone ringing.

• After that, it was known that Veronica Lodge had a girlfriend, and nobody could do anything about it. Dating her was the best part of your highschool years.

For the prompts, what about 8 and 1 with jugpea 🤔

ok so yeah, this one is meant to be a little ouch, and I definitely wrote it with the intention that Bughead still happens at the end of the night. 

“It’s just some stupid family thing for Veronica,” that didn’t ease his nerves, but it wasn’t exactly because of the Lodge girl – it was because of the Cooper girl. The same one he had been over the moon about having gone since FP’s retirement party. “I have to walk into a church – I’ll be surprised if I don’t burn.”

To make matters worse, Jughead was standing in the middle of his trailer fumbling with his tie, nearly ready for the evening. Sweet Pea didn’t want to try talking him out of it. He couldn’t. What happened between the two of them was for them only – at least, that’s what they agreed to for the time being. After Betty, Jughead worried it might pull more attention to the already incredibly awkward situation. Or worse, rub salt in the blondes wounds.

So it was safe to say Sweet Pea was bitter.

“Hey, stop that.”

“Then don’t go.” There. He said it.

Jug stopped his movements and looked down at the Serpent lounging on his couch. Sweet Pea looked perfectly comfortable taking up the entirety of its surface. He felt bad that he’d have to kick him out to go home within the hour. “I have to.”

“No, you don’t have to,” Sweet Pea grumbled, folding his arms. “Veronica is Betty’s friend.”

Noting the disdain in his voice, Jughead perched on the table across from him. “Archie is my best friend, and he’s Veronica’s boyfriend. I’m required to partake in the festivities.”

Pea’s face contorted in confusion. That didn’t make any sense whatsoever. 

“Okay. This isn’t about Veronica, or Archie, or even the fact I’m going to this stupid thing.” Jughead conceded, bracing a hand on his knee. “This is about you having it out for Betty.”

Pea locked his eyes in a glare, jaw tense. That was only one part of it. “This is about you being thick in the fucking skull.”

“What are you even talking about?” Jughead was unable to contain his exasperation with the Serpent. It wasn’t like he was overly joyed to have to go, either. Less enthused to see Betty, but even so, his words were slow and deliberate. “Why are you so jealous? Sweet Pea, we’re just friends.”

Pea let his words hang between them. He wanted to laugh, because he found it funny – for a total of ten seconds. There was no indication that Jughead was lying through his teeth. But he was staring at him with unblinking eyes, not a single tell on his face.

As the words sunk in, Sweet Pea felt his chest tighten and then drop into his stomach. His ego was hurt, but even worse, he was genuinely embarrassed. Unwilling to partake in any more conversation, he stood from his place on the couch and cleared his throat, avoiding eye contact. He’d be damned if Jones knew he was butthurt.

“Sweet Pea, c’mon,” Jughead didn’t sound very convincing, more exasperated than anything but he did put his hand on the door to prevent it from being pried open.

Pea looked at the hand for a few seconds before gripping the wrist attached and pulling it from the frame. He hauled the door open wide, barely sparing the teen a glance as he stepped out into the cold. “We’re not just friends, and you fucking know it.” 

[jeronicainfiction]

as far as next season goes, what do you want for veronica especially after this cheating fiasco

i feel the need to preface this by saying that i think im in the minority of the jeronica fandom that also ships(shipped?) varchie, like they were my first rd ship i think because veroncia is my favorite character and cami’s chemistry with the whole cast pretty much i find myself shipping v with literally everyone but i cant really get behind v*rchie anymore cause cheating is just...something i personally can never forgive 

that being said. aside from a new fucking hairstyle...

im torn

on one hand i want a slow burn jeronica, i want them to find a kinship in one another and realize they have more in common than they ever thought, ykno? like i want them to bond over being pretentious assholes and over literature and old films but more than anything i want them to build a solid foundation of friendship and then i pray the writers have the balls to see it through esp if theyre going the b*rchie route

ON THE OTHER HAND

GIVE ME MEAN GIRL VERONICA LODGE. GIVE ME ICE QUEEN VERONICA. i want veronica to “relapse” into her former mean girl self sooo badly. she cant trust her parents, she apparently cant trust her backstabbing best friend or her boyfriend of 3 fucking years, i want new york socialite-making pp cry-veronica lodge. shes already fucking villainized might as well let camila have some fun with it!

and i knoooow cami would get so much shit if they were to do that especially from the betty stans but like I CAN SEE IT SO PERFECTLY 

an angry, hurt, cold shouldered ice queen veronica being that bitch and putting ppl in their place!! its what i deserve (what she deserves tbh)

and in that same regard id be down for man-eater veronica, in the comics v (even tho she was in love with archie) always had some different arm candy and 1. not only would that give me jealous archie which would offer me so much entertainment but also maybe jealous/confused jughead?? being like “i thought this wasnt you anymore??” and her being all “since when do you care” cause like, an angry, broody jughead is kind of the norm but i feel like to bring that out of veronica too would make for some interesting television

what i dont want is supportive, pushover veronica or completely sidelined veronica especially being the only non white character out of the core 4.

let her be angry! let her hold a grudge! let her lash out! 

GIVE ME MEAN GIRL VERONICA.

as a whole tho i guess im hoping there is a time jump and then something tragic happens cause y’kno its riverdale like maybe theyre blackmailed into coming back idrc about the logistics of it, but i want her to be thriving and living in NY 

im just tired of her being paid dust ykno?

i also want her to stop wearing ugly ass grandma skirts but thats besides the point so i digress

Masterlist 

(Not my photo, credit to whoever made it!)

My father had gotten arrested and now my Mother and I were moving to his hometown, including his ex-wife and my half sister. We weren’t going to be living in the same apartment, but we would be in the same building. We were moving into The Pembroke and it was probably the nicest thing in this town. 

“Why couldn’t we just stay in New York?” I asked. 

“We’re here till things cool down.” My Mother said. 

“Right…” I sighed. 

We each went to our separate apartments, ours being bigger than Hermione and Veronica’s. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my half sister, she’s like my best friend, but I still enjoy being better than her. Once I finished unpacking my things and got my room sorted I walked out to see my Mother just getting off the phone. 

“Hello dear, would you bring this back to Hermione? She ordered from a small diner that she said was to die for. I ordered for you already and you and Veronica are going to go pick it up.” She said and I sighed slightly. 

“Fine.” I said and grabbed the phone from her. I took it over their apartment. Veronica answered the door and smiled at me. 

“Oh, thank you. I see you’re ready to go.” She said with a smile. 

“Let me just grab my coat.” I said and went to go get it. 

“Ready.” I said and we went out to the car. When the car stopped it was in front of a small diner called Pop’s Chock’Lit Shoppe. 

“We’ll be right back.” Veronica said as we got out. We walked inside and I noticed someone staring at us. Veronica pulled me along, near the table of the guy staring at us. 

“I called in an order, for Lodge?” Veronica asked the man working. 

“Four burgers, yeah, almost ready, but you gotta wait.” He said with a kind smile and walked behind the counter. 

“Hi.” Veronica said to the two that were sitting in the booth we were standing in front of. 

“Hey.” The guy that was staring, smiling at us. 

“How are the onion rings here?” I asked. 

“So good.” He answered. 

“Can we get some onion rings too, please?” I asked. 

“Yeah!” The man working said.

“Thanks. We just moved here with our Moms, so…” Veronica said. 

“From where?” The guy asked. 

“New York.” I answered with a smile. 

“Wow.” The guy said. 

“Do you guys go to Riverdale?” I asked. 

“We do. Both of us. Together.” 

“Yeah, we’re sophomores.” The guy and girl said at the same time. 

“Us too.” Veronica said. 

“I’m filled with dread.” I said. 

“Why is that?” The guy asked. 

“Are you familiar with the works of Truman Capote?” I asked and he nodded. 

“I’m Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but this place is strictly In Cold Blood.” I said and he laughed while I giggled. 

“Angelina Lodge.” I introduced myself. 

“This is my half sister, Veronica Lodge.” I said as I shook the guys hand. 

“Archie Andrews.” He said with a smile. 

“Uh, this is Betty Cooper.” He said as he introduced the girl. 

“Wait, are you…” Veronica trailed off. 

“Supposed to give you your tour tomorrow? Yes. I’m your peer mentor.” Betty finished. 

 “Do you want to join us?” Archie asked. 

“Hey, maybe we can un-fill you with dread.” He added. 

“Our Mom’s are waiting for us.” Veronica said. 

“But, to be continued.” I said with a flirty smile. Veronica pulled me away and we grabbed the food. We went back to the car and we were on the way home. 

“He was pretty cute, what do you think?” I asked. 

“For a small little town, yeah, he’s cute.” Veronica agreed. 

“Now I’m very excited about school tomorrow.” I said and she rolled her eyes. 

School was interesting for the week. Veronica and I joined the cheer team and she became pretty good friends with Betty. I on the other hands didn’t really find anyone that really interested me besides Archie. He wasn’t my usual type, but why not try something new? So when the dance came and Veronica, Betty, and I went with Archie. Veronica was trying hard to get Betty and Archie together, but it didn’t work out. So now we were going to an after party at the Blossom’s house. It was a lot more fun than the actual dance was. 

“It’s game time at Chez Blossom, kiddies.” Cheryl Blossom said as she gathered a bunch of people up. 

“We’re going old-school tonight. Seven minutes in Heaven. Who wants to tryst in the closet of love first?” She asked. 

“My vote is A for Archie. Anyone care to second it?” She asked. 

“Wait, actually-” 

“Yes, Andrews! Yes!” Reggie said, cutting Archie off. 

“Alright, gather round, kids.” Cheryl said. 

“Let’s see who’s riding the ginger stallion tonight.” She said as she placed a bottle on the table and spun. I sat next to my sister and hoped with baited breath that I would get to be the one in the closet with Archie. It landed in between Veronica and Betty. 

“Oh no way!” Reggie said and I rolled my eyes. 

“It’s clearly pointing to... new girl, Veronica. This should be fun.” Cheryl said. 

“Um… I’m not doing this.” Veronica said. 

“That’s up to you. But if you don’t, house rules decree the hostess gets to take your turn.” Cheryl said with a smirk. My sister got up and went into the closet with Archie. I narrowed my eyes at the door. 

“I’m out of here.” I said and left quickly. How dare she! 

“Angelina, what are you doing home so early?” My Mother asked. 

“My bitch of a sister ruined my night.” I grumbled. 

“Watch your language! What do you mean she ruined your night?” She asked. 

“There’s a boy here that I told her I had my eye on and she went and tried to get him with another girl and then kissed him!” I said and she sighed. 

“So high school drama.” She said and I narrowed my eyes. 

“I’m going to my room.” I said and stormed off. 

A little later Veronica came into my room and I immediately threw a pillow at her. 

“Get out!” I growled. 

“You’re not honestly upset that I kissed him, are you?” She asked and I narrowed my eyes. 

“I told you when we first saw him that I thought he was cute, you should know that means I have my eyes on him!” I said and she rolled her eyes. 

“Please, he’s not even your type.” She said. 

“Seriously? Just get over it.” She said and I glared at her. 

“I told you I liked him and one, you go and try and get him with another girl, then two, you kiss him!” I said. 

“I’m sorry Angie, but I can’t help that I like him too.” She said and I rolled my eyes. 

“Get. Out.” I growled and she sighed. 

“Fine, whatever.” She said and left.

A few weeks later and I was the one dating Archie Andrews. Veronica was jealous, especially since I was rubbing it in her face. She always got the guy and this time it was my turn. As our relationship went on I realized he really wasn’t my type. My type was definitely someone more like Jughead, the bad boy type style. Archie actually got jealous about me hanging out with Jughead more. I was bringing out my normal style, lots of black and bad girl looking clothes. Something my Mother and Father hated. They’d rather I dress more like Veronica does, but that just isn’t me. When the year was ending I broke it off with Archie. We just weren’t end game and I didn’t want to waste my time anymore. Jughead understood where I was coming from, but he was the only one. However when I was coming home after the breakup, I walked in to see my Father sitting at the end of the table. 

“Daddy!” I said and ran over to him. 

“Hello Princess.” He said as I hugged him and he kissed my head. 

“You’re back! So we can go home right?” I asked and he shook his head. 

“I have plans here, so we’re staying.” He answered and I frowned a little. 

“What’s wrong?” He asked. 

“I just broke up with my boyfriend and I do not want to stay here anymore.” I said and he sighed. 

“Sorry Princess, we need to stay here a bit longer.” He said and I sighed. 

“Alright Daddy.” I said. 

Weeks went by and Jughead and I were definitely spending more on the Southside, something my parents hated. They especially hated when I joined the Serpents. That night was amazing. It was the night I met Sweet Pea. It was at Jughead’s Father’s retirement party and I was about to become a Serpent. Before I left the house with Veronica I put on the perfect lingerie under my black dress that my parents allowed me to wear out of the house. 

A bit into the party Jughead nodded me towards the back of the stage. He walked over to Hogeye and told him that it was time. I undressed and left my heels on, ready to do this dance and have every guy looking at me. Even though I didn’t have feelings for Archie and he was dating my sister now, it would be so fun to see his face during this. 

“We’ve got something special tonight, we’re gonna be welcoming a new member to the Serpents. Everyone, give it up for Angelina!” I heard Hogeye announce and people started clapping. The song Lil Freak started playing and I walked out on the stage with a sexy strut. My eyes scanned the room and I saw Archie looking at me with his jaw dropped. I smirked and walked up to the pole and worked it like it was my job. As I continued scanning the room I saw a tall tan Serpent boy with a sexy Serpent tattoo on his neck. 

When the song ended I got my jacket and I walked to the back to get dressed again. I met Jughead outside the door and he smiled. 

“How does it feel being a Serpent now?” He asked and I smirked. 

“Like I’m finally my own person and not Daddy’s little girl.” I answered and he chuckled. 

“Well, you got a fan.” He said and I raised my brow.

“Come, I’ll introduce you.” He said. 

“Angelina, this is Sweet Pea, Sweet Pea, this is Angelina Lodge.” Jughead said and I smiled as I saw the tall tan boy. 

“Pleasure to meet you.” I said offering him my hand. 

“You were amazing up there.” He said and I smirked. 

“Thanks for noticing.” I said and he smirked in return. 

“Angelina! What the hell was that!?” Veronica asked, completely ruining the moment. 

“I’m a Serpent, that’s what that was.” I answered with a roll of my eyes. 

“Clearly… Daddy and Dove are going to be pissed.” She said and I scoffed. 

“Like you care, now if you excuse me, I’m talking with a very attractive guy.” I said and turned back to Sweet Pea. 

“Let’s get you a drink.” He said and led me off to the bar. 

That was how our relationship started. That was also how I lost the title of Daddy’s little girl. My Father hated that I joined a gang and that I was dating someone from it. My Mother didn’t care as much since she was happy that I was happy. Angelina Lodge was no longer going to let other people run her life, no, I was taking my life into my own hands now!

Your Fave Is Catholic: Veronica Lodge

Known for: One of the main characters of the beloved Archie comic book series, as well as one of the main characters of the beloved television adaptation Riverdale. In the comics, she is the richest girl in all of Riverdale, & also one of the most beautiful. But because of this, she is often very self-absorbed, shallow, insensitive, easily jealous, has a very short temper, & has a problem with over shopping. Despite this though, she does have a good heart & will do the right thing most of the time, & she is also incredibly skilled at economics & playing the keyboard, which she does in the band The Archies. Her best friend is Betty Cooper, & she is also extremely close friends with Jughead Jones, & is one of the dueling love interests of Archie Andrews (interestingly enough, her rival is her best friend Betty Cooper, & this love triangle is infamous for creating the story trope “Betty & Veronica”). In the adaptation television series Riverdale, Veronica is a vastly different character, being much nicer & more likable than her comic book counterpart. Her backstory establishes that she was initially very much like her original comic book counterpart, only much more cruel & nasty. But after her father was arrested, she was deeply humbled, & since moving to Riverdale, she vowed to change her ways for the better. Now, she is much more empathetic & compassionate, generous, & a very strong feminist in her school. She is also shown to be very intelligent, a skilled cheerleader, & just like her comic book counterpart, she is a skilled musician who plays in her own band Veronica & the Pussycats, & she is also extremely good & loyal friends with Betty Cooper. Additionally, in the television series, she is depicted as Latin American, as opposed to her Caucasian comic counterpart.

Evidence of Faith: While there isn’t really any mention to her religious background in the original Archie comic books, the television series Riverdale establishes that Veronica is a practicing Catholic. Season 2 of Riverdale makes Veronica’s faith very clear. For instance, the episode “Chapter 14: A Kiss Before Dying” shows Veronica & her mother Hermione praying in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary in a Catholic church, & you can see a picture of it right here. Additionally, the episode “Chapter 25: The Wicked & the Divine” is all about Veronica’s confirmation ceremony, & all of her friends attend it to show their support (the ceremony is held later in Veronica’s life than typical due to her parents wanting the same Monsignor who baptized her to perform the ceremony). The Archie-verse Wiki has an entire article about Veronica’s confirmation ceremony, & you can read all about it here. So, in short, while comic book Veronica’s faith might be more ambiguous, television’s Veronica is most definitely a Catholic, & her story greatly reflects this!
