how differently people treat archie & betty in regards to the cheating really doesn’t sit right w me. a lot of people excuse archie as confused whereas betty gets a lot of the backlash w people wanting physical violence between her & v & wanting betty to have 0 friends lmao

2/2 they’re either equal to me on some days bc i tend to not think of rvd as of late (a win for me!) or i prefer betty bc really i always have bc i’m not the biggest archie fan, plus to me she tried to and wanted to stop it so it just gives her a tad of an edge but just my opinion

You know, I am with you on the double standard, anon. I tend to see the opposite on my dash - an insane amount of Archie hate and people excusing Betty. I have, however, seen both. I think it is really important to keep a few things in mind:

1. Actors are not their characters and they have no creative control. That means it really doesn’t matter what KJ or Lili ship, they get next to no input on their character’s decisions.

2. The women in this show are, generally speaking, written by men. They exist, in so many ways, as a male fantasy. I got really annoyed during my rewatch roundabout the third episode, when they tried to do this whole “men treat us as objects and it’s wrong” plotline. Frankly, it’s a plotline Riverdale doesn’t have any right to do. Betty’s very first scene was her in a bra, and she’s canonically 15. If the show does do a cheating plotline, it will be ostensibly from Betty’s perspective, but written by a man. That makes a huge difference.

3. The men on Riverdale are writer self-inserts. I can’t stress that enough. Ted has actually admitted this in as many words. Jughead is wronged because Ted feels wronged by women. Jughead is a handsome (eh), talented person with a large circle of friends and (the show is convinced) a talent for writing because that’s Ted’s self insert. His girl gets taken by the all-American, fit, handsome (god I hate this) guy because that’s something Ted views as what would happen to a guy like him. Betty’s behaviour has no complexity, because it’s written through the lens of an adult man. Whether or not a man wrote these specific scenes that are so anti-Betty, the show is entirely conceptualized as a male-gaze thirst trap, and all its characters act accordingly.

4. The show cares very little about relationship complexities, and I am not just talking about the Bughead vs. Barchie. I am talking about the intricacies of friendship, too. Veronica was willing to drink poison for Betty. The show is great at big gestures like that, but absolutely useless in the small scenes that would act as narrative scaffolding for this. The fact that this would ruin the friendships of the main characters was treated as very much an afterthought, when the show wants us to believe these characters are important to each other.

5. The show gave us no thoughts from Archie’s perspective. I have long thought of Archie as a character who acts before thinking. That’s carried him through four years. It is not inconceivable that Archie would impulsively act on his “feelings” for Betty with no regard for the consequences. But we have no background on what motivated Archie in this particular instance. They never took the time to give us this situation from his perspective, and it would have been SO easy to write more narrative scaffolding on this from Archie’s perspective. Veronica was busy this season. Perhaps her and Archie drifted a bit apart because of it. Maybe Archie finally began to realize how different he and Veronica are, and because Jughead was also holding a plotline mostly independent of Betty in the beginning of this season, it would have been easy to have them spend a bit more time together. That would have been narrative scaffolding if they were going the whole “nostalgia” route. But we never received any indication that Veronica and Archie were starting to drift. This entire plotline was the cheapest way to create end-of-season drama from writers who can’t properly create story structure.

6. The Betty and Archie of 4x17 and 4x18 bear little to no resemblance to the Betty and Archie of the rest of the show.

All this to say, despite the length of this, I really don’t spend much time on it, anon. We know the writers are terrible at their jobs. I’m going to close this off with this quote which I think sums it up perfectly:

“...where it concerns Riverdale, there is no evidence to suggest that the writers have ever been adept at their jobs. Riverdale has always been a show that makes sh*t up as it goes along, aborts arcs whenever it feels like it (where’s Betty’s brother and Chic?), and has no problem with disconnecting from reality when it writes itself into a corner. Riverdale is primarily a vehicle to serve KJ Apa’s abs and lingering close-ups on the thighs of the female cast members.”

Fandom Meme!

(again)

tagged this time by @crytalstellar! thank youuu 🤗🤗🤗 gotta find three fandoms that werent the ones from last time lolol uhhh... ok!

Rules: Choose any three fandoms (in random order) and answer the questions, then tag 10 people you wanna know better

Three Fandoms:

Corpse Party!

The Arcana!

Homestuck! (WHAT A WILD LINEUP LMAO)

The first character you loved:

It’s hard to remember, but I think the first person I really latched onto was Sakutaro Morishige!

Julian, hands down 👀

Before Act 5, probably John, honestly! But the instant Eridan showed up, listen. It was over. Eridan won

The character you never expected to love so much

Ohhh... Yoshiki, for sure! What a good boy. I expected so much less from him ;w;

Nadi’s sisters orz... I thought all of them would be posh pricks LOL

Porrim tbh, I love her to bits and I’m not sure why or when it happened but hoo.

The character you relate to the most

The reason I played Corpse Party at all was because my friend who I had no idea was in love with me told me she was in love with me via fronting the game with “Don’t Naomi and Seiko kind of remind you of us? 👀” with me being the poor and clueless Naomi to a T, so I mean,,

(Mild book VIII spoilers for Julian’s story!) The dude in the theater scene in Julian’s route that played Lucio in that play and Julian in that moment simultaneously. “What are you going to do, smother me with your thighs?” “Oh, for the millionth time- No.”

There are so many characters in Homestuck, please... lmao... Aradia??? If I were more kickass???? I’m not sure. Pick someone who seems ace.

The character you’d slap

kizami yuuya im coming to kick your ass

If you get this question and fail to think “Lucio,” I’m not sure you’re answering it right jdhjsd. Though the major arcana for the Magician is also a little shit and might deserve a pinch or two. smh

SLAP PARTY!!! 1-800-ARE-YOU-SLAPPING. I’LL SLAP HALF THE CAST. WATCH ME LMAOOO...

Three favorite characters (in order of preference):

ohhh... Morishige’s definitely first but the rest change constantly. Mayu? Kishinuma?? Satoshi??? I like a lot of these characters!!

THIS ALSO CHANGES A LOT BUT I REALLY LIKE PORTIA, ASRA, AND JULIAN...

Eridan, Aradia, Porrim!

A character you didn’t like at first but do now:

Re: Yoshiki... I was so sure he’d be a deadbeat but he surprised me! Naomi also really annoyed me at first because of the way she treated Seiko when she got stressed but what can u do lol shrug emote

I wasn’t sure I’d like Nadiya at first, but she’s really spectacular and funny! ^^ She wore the whole “decadent, elegant leader” image so well I was like.... hyped when her comfort unveiled how fun-loving and spontaneous she is.

I like... Every character from Homestuck, please. I’ve always liked all of them ;; But maybe Bec Noir. He was pretty rad, despite the whole murder business lololol

Three OTPs:

Morishige and Mayu forever thanks. Naomi and Seiko! And if I could remember the characters from the other schools I’d probably have a less boring and predictable answer here kjdfsj but both Naomi and Satoshi make a cute pair as well as Ayumi and Yoshiki

Portia and me, Portia and me, and also.... me and Portia 👀 skjfh JOKING ASIDE, I DON’T KNOW... I DON’T DO A TON OF SHIPPING. Remember the cute leech farmer lesbians??? I ship the HELL out of them Dream life, tbh

EriKar in ANY quadrant, I’ll eat that UP, black or red quad EriVris, and Roxy Lalonde with any and every form of wholesome, healthy happiness.

That’s that! As for tagging, uhhh it’s kind of a long tag and i don’t remember getting a ton back when i tagged a small handful of people for this, so ill slate this one as a “if you see it, and you want to do it, take it and tag me back so i can see!” post.

THANKS 4 COMIN 2 MY TED TALK THIS ONE WAS A LOT BETTER ORGANIZED THAN LAST TIME SO YOU CAN COHERENTLY READ IT AND MAKE SENSE OF IT LMAOOO have a wonderful day/night wherever you are!!! ^^
