#kevins parents getting divorced was weak because it wasn't like. a plot
Text
the thing about riverdale season 7 is that even though it is textually the gayest season it is so easily the worst at being textually gay. they robbed kevin and clay and cheryl and toni of doing anything interesting or having a meaningful relationship with any other character all season and their song in archie the musical is boring af. but the subtextual gay relationships are insane because the characters spend their screentime doing other stuff and have hopes and dreams and stuff. archie and reggie are wrestling in their shared bedroom and worrying that their respective passions for writing and basketball will take them away from eachother. gay kevin and clay are in love i guess because they keep telling us they are. do you see what i mean or am i being an asshole
#i liked kevin and clay in the beginning too!!! and im obsessed with cheryl and toni in earlier seasons it just felt like once they were in#stable relationships the writers dont include them in any plot or conflict#cheryl didnt even get to be MEAN. and like i dont want to be like why did they all end up together but it just felt like a checked box#the episode where cheryl goes to black athena and toni gets kind of weird about it and clay gets to be a little annoying and pretentious#i was like YES!! I LOVE THESE GUYS#but then none of them ever had any issues again#kevins parents getting divorced was weak because it wasn't like. a plot#i miss cheryls art collector fling and witch girlfriend. not because i like them better than toni but because its fun when characters#break up and you get to see them in different relationships and then maybe they come back to eachother after growing a little#and this whole season just steamrolled all of that history for all of them and left them flat and that suckks bro that is not based#crit
