CALLING ALL STARMANIA ENJOYERS
I don't know if this is going to find the right audience but I created a discord server for Starmania because I physically need to talk about it with people who understand my struggle !
This server is open to all, please feel free to join and discuss with us ! If you have art/writing/theories/any creation you want to share, this is the place to do it, I promise it will be nice to have a somewhat centralized place for that micro-fandom :)
[Edit: don't hesitate to message me if the link doesn't work]
“it’s not queerbaiting it’s saving the world” is truly the best line ever written for a tv series its honestly a tragedy that riverdale never won an emmy

1. All types of content are welcome: fanart, fic, song covers, edits, shitposting, memes, collages… If you can think of it, we want it!

3. We accept any content (including NSFW, gore, etc.) provided that it is appropriately tagged
4. You can prepare your fills ahead of time or make them during the week
5. You can post your fills anywhere you’d like (or nowhere, we’re not the Monopolis police!) but Discord and Tumblr will be our hubs and therefore the most visible places to show off your creations. Use the tag #starmaweek2 or send your fill via our inbox to be reposted!
6. Prompts are meant to inspire, not constrain! If your fill doesn’t fit 100%, don’t worry about it, the point is to create something. You can interpret the prompts as freely as you want!
I assume that, in the universe where Sue Snell is real and really did write a memoir of the teen witch who blew up her high school, I Am Sue Snell is mostly an obscure, pre-satanic-panic hoax memoir that’s forgotten except for Sarah Marshall’s Patreon content, and, this is my point, lesbians. In a world where I Am Sue Snell is a real-ass paperback it is a cliche obsession of nearly all teen lesbians. And while my url tells you that I was exactly the kind of teen lesbian to do this, I also have watched how LBT women collectively lose their mind over Jennifer’s Body so hard they made it a classic. I believe in my soul that tumblr would be filled with back cover pictures from the Sue Snell paperback with unhinged captions, e.g.,
In the universe in which the town of Chamberlain, ME was destroyed by either a terrible gas explosion or an angry witch on prom night, this is what the Gaylors are doing with their energy, just reading I Am Sue Snell and trying to levitate small objects. Some of them are succeeding.
I have just learned from Easy Riders Raising Bulls that people, including John Cassavetes, ridiculed Amy Irving for taking the character of Sue Snell so seriously when everyone else agreed they were making pulp garbage. “She thinks she’s playing Joan of Arc,” he supposedly said.
And Ms Irving, I want to thank you for your service to the high strung lesbian community and the mockery that you endured on our behalf. You were Joan of Arc to me.
i had totally forgotten and it DOES rule that jason triggered riverdale's wrath by trying to leave town permanently. he didn't know youre not allowed to do that :)
having so much fun reading jason's death differently every time it's brought up. anyway had Also sort of forgotten that the whole point of his plan in the first place was to fake his own death.. which doesn't really work in riverdale because the fake is as real as anything else. archetypal comic book characters coexist with regular people; characters shop at stores that reference their own non-existence. tannis root exists in riverdale but derives its properties not through reference to our world but rather to the fictional world of rosemary's baby..
anyway all this to say that the pervasive sense of unreality in riverdale derives from the fact that the fake/real distinction fails to cohere in a world that is populated with unreal artifacts which operate in a manner indistinguishable from those things we know to be real; ultimately all you really have to do to make something real in riverdale is to speak about it as if it is real, at which point it is at least as real as anything else we see on-screen. glamazon prime was nonexistent up until the point that veronica said she had shopped there, at which point its packages appeared on her doorstep. jason was alive until he asked cheryl to say he had died, at which point her words made it so. to fake your death in riverdale is not meaningfully distinct from dying for real; or at least, not distinct enough for jason to be able to survive it.
another perfect example of COURSE is midge dying via production of carrie; as the actor playing carrie she was meant to stage her own death at the end of the musical but again because riverdale does not distinguish meaningfully between the real and the fake, her fake death becomes real 👍
Yellowjackets is so funny because they're always in the adult timeline talking like, "We did what we had to do to survive. They weren't good choices, but they were our choices, and we needed to make them," and then it'll cut back to 1997 and they'll be lowering a girl into a makeshift human sized deep fryer because she called Shauna a bitch
