She Blinded Me With Science

I’ve recently (i.e. last year) gotten obsessed with the Archie comics, and I want to ramble about them. Basically I think I’ll just be sending my random thoughts out into the void.

I’m not an expert or a superfan. I’m just saying the things that occur to me about the comics I happen to read, and posting panels that made me laugh. I’ll post art too.

#my art = my own fanart

#archie out of context = exactly that

Don’t forget to read the tags. I write so much in the tags. Too much, probably.

I’m not a Riverdale show fan, but neither do I have anything against it. I’ve never seen it. You can bring it up, I don’t mind, but I won’t know the first thing about it. (Except that apparently tabletop roleplaying games are the work of the devil or something like that. R.I.P.) (Also don’t get rabies or you’ll have to live in the sewer with the Rat King forever. Or something.) (I’ll admit I am becoming intensely curious, but I don’t have the time to binge a tv series right now.) (From my observations, people either love it or they despise it with all their hearts.) (But everyone hates the Heathers episode.)

I have opinions sometimes, but I can make no objective assessment of their quality.

Okay, but Betty shows you don't really need witch powers to pull off the "one but with mass quantity" gag.

"where there's a wile, there's a style"

Finding a dress for the Prom. Or, a dance. C ould not even bother to mark it as something major a dance on the high school set social calendar -- though even then we'd just use a generic "Formal" and not specify a season because the very reason it is changed from "Prom" is to have it reprintable any time (or at least through nine months) of the calendar.

And how does Betty solve this oh-so-important problem of finding a unique dress no one will be wearing?

This guy's never heard of Marlene Dietrich?

Caption not fixed here:

Sometime in my teen years. My mom were clearing out any old clothes throughout the house. Came to my sister's old prom dress. My brother made the comment in favor of dumping it, "No one will have any reason to wear it". I refrained from making a joke "Maybe I will want to shake things up!" The dress was undoubtedly too small anyways.

Comic book hero who everybody constantly assumes is some sort of supervillain because of his ridiculous hat. He could just not wear it, but at this point it's become a matter of principle.

(Disclaimer that I know literally nothing about Danni, besides the facts that she’s trans and dated Dilton at one point. I have no knowledge of her personality or backstory or anything. I’m improvising based solely on this one picture:)

[importantangeldefendor]

Wait trans girl in Archie? What? Say more?

[diltonsstrangescience]

I think it’s only canon in the 2023(?) reboot comics, but I want to believe.
