[askandsmile]

Hi babe! (I am still here, lurking around lol). Talk to me about how Reggie/Veronica/Archie is the true missed love triangle (ot3??) of Riverdale. Like, obviously Varchie was always gonna love each other more than they would Reggie but this triangle could have been hilarious and great in season 3 and wasn't (bc Riverdale). What would you have done with it? Season 3 focused of course because who cares about Reggie v. 2.

baaaaaaaaaaaabe! missed you.

under the cut for those who don't want to see me talking about this lol i know some don't

okay, so i'd start in the summer between season 2 and season 3.

reggie was kind of dropped by josie out of nowhere and he sees her going around with sweet pea and understands nothing. he also lives in an abusive household. he spends a lot of time at pop's, where veronica is working. archie is always around there too, and they're basically the only people in town that reggie can talk to atm (moose and kevin are having their secret thing so they are not always available lol).

while he spends a lot of time with varchie, he gets a little jealous of that relationship. they're very close and in love. but everytime archie leaves he sees how veronica is really trying to keep it together, notices how she's almost cracking, so afraid to lose him. he says some stupid shit to make her laugh and it often works.

a day before the trial, archie asks reggie to take care of her/protect her if anything happens to him.

when archie pleads guilty reggie is kinda angry at him, because he's seen first hand how hard veronica worked for that not to happen. he keeps going to pop's and offers help at the speakeasy, kind of to replace archie, who had been helping before. she accepts it. when she tells him about archie's sneakers, he offers to go with her to the mall, etc.

in my head, archie should've broken up with her sooner. a little after the jailhouse rock thing. of course, he does it to protect her - hiram threatens him, says veronica will be the one getting hurt next time, and archie does what he has to do. it's heartbreaking for him, but he wants her to be free of the ~harm that's being with her.

veronica would be equally heartbroken and angry. she would definitely know something's up, but archie would be strong in his decision. regardless, veronica would move out of the pembrooke and start living at pop's attic (obsessed with this idea by @flwrpotts, it's my canon).

then we'd have veronica reverting back to her old veronica days, drinking and partying and just losing it. betty would be worried, cheryl too, so veronica would slowly cut them off her life until the only one left was reggie, who was protecting her - also pissed at archie - but also ended up finding some sort of escape when he sees this new side of her, party and flirty and crazy. and during these times they'd start to fuck.

reggie would feel guilty for it, stop giving archie any news. until then, he used to visit archie. he stops. veronica would eventually notice reggie's troubles at home and they'd become closer. he would spend more time with her (and her booze and her drugs) than in his own house. they'd isolate themselves from others.

then, archie would be released. jughead and betty would be the ones who did it. when he comes back, she tries to stop it, but they immediately fall into each other's arms. but things wouldn't be the same, there's still too much hurt between them. he still is afraid her dad will hurt her. and it would be sort of a mess for a moment - veronica not being able to trust archie, archie not wanting to tell her the truth about their breakup and making things worse, reggie angry because he was sidelined.

veronica ends up "choosing" reggie because whatever archie has going on isn't working for her, it just hurts her more. but after that, reggie learns what really happened, while talking to archie. archie tells him that hiram is to blame. reggie tells veronica the truth, even if he's scared he'll lose her.

at first, he doesn't lose her, but little by little she starts to get closer to archie again with loads of mutual pining and reggie getting insecure. at some point, it gets unsustainable, and they breakup. #tome that would happen around prom. she'd go with reggie but they'd end it, and by the end of the party, archie would find her sitting alone and sit with her.

into s4 everyone would be single - veronica, reggie, and archie. it would be sort of painful between reggie and v, a little aggressive between archie and reggie, and veronica and archie in a friendship with tension. in the first football game of the season, though, the bulldogs would win, and veronica would kiss archie. the choice has been made!

(i don't know veggie s5/s6, i really don't, never saw anything more stupid in my life lol)

many many moons ago me and @go-ldy's last project together was a never-to-be-finished fic where jenny fell into pete's world and rose was beside herself with jealousy

anyway i just found it in google drive and this fic rules, here are some highlights

“Whatever’s in there just crashed, it’ll be lucky if it’s alive, and this is how you lot greet it?”

“It’s just a precaution, Doctor, we’re not looking for a fight.”

“Oh, and that’s the Earth welcome package, is it? A bunch of guns?”

Aware this could go on for some time, Rose closed her eyes and sighed, stepping around both of them to get a better view of the ship.

[...]

“I didn’t know you were married,” Jenny added, looking up at the Doctor.

“Well, I wasn’t.” He rocked on his heels. “She’s new.” Rose squeaked, but the Doctor carried on before she could object.

[...]

For what seemed like the millionth time in the short period she’d been in this universe, Jenny’s face broke into a smile. “What kind of food do they have on Earth?”

The Doctor grinned back at her, potential impending fate-of-the-world cataclysm seemingly forgotten. “Oh, you haven’t lived until you’ve eaten [some stupid British food I will sub in later].”

I’ll walk with you in the shadows (9/9)

Summary:  Betty and Jughead went their separate ways two years ago. Betty went to her dream school and vowed to put Riverdale and Jughead behind her. But a series of strange murders on Betty’s campus brings them together again. Why is the killer targeting women with blonde hair and green eyes – women who look just like Betty Cooper? COMPLETE.

Adrian’s face pressed up against hers. His breath was putrid – he smelled like beer and old cologne, cigarettes and vomit. Her stomach twisted and she fought down a retch. He ranted at her, spewing ugly words: “You did this, you bitch.”

“Don’t call me that,” she said, but she was staring at Sandy’s body – twisted and broken on the ground, blood pooling on the floor.

She raised her own hands – and they were covered in blood. Her heart pounded. Whose blood was on her hands? Had she hurt him? Hurt Sandy?

Adrian was still coming – his face was large and grotesque, almost monstrous. His hands were reaching for her throat. She screamed and tried to get away. But she was trapped and there was nowhere to go.

Then she heard a banging noise – like a picture falling to the floor and shattering. She looked desperately around for the source of the noise. Had someone heard her screams for help?

But there was no one – only Adrian, his chest heaving, his hands reaching for her, his fingers pressing down on her throat –

Betty jerked awake, eyes ripping open to a room bathed in sunlight. She clutched the sheets to her chest, her heart still hammering. Jughead’s body was warm where it was still pressed up against hers.

Were there more dropped plot points this season than prior seasons or am I just more attuned to Riverdale’s plotholes now that Bughead don’t make out every week?

Anyway, here are my questions without answers (I think):

-Why did Jessica steal Jughead’s manuscript pages? Just for the lols?

-What happened to the loan sharks who were threatening Jughead with bodily harm are they still out there or did he somehow manage to earn enough money at Pop’s to pay them off.

-So like did Chad try and kill Veronica in a plane crash or what.

-Was Veronica able to pay back all those debts without her white collar pyramid scheme collapsing??? I mean, I guess??

-Are any of these people still teaching at Riverdale High or, like, are they all fired and so does Riverdale High still even exist anymore.

-Do we know who Toni’s baby daddy is?

-Is the TBK ever gonna be revealed or is that just going to be left hanging.

-Are Veronica and Betty still on speaking terms.

-Something palladium something?

?????

[stillhidden]

They absolutely had more dropped plot points this season. Just … But some of these they “addressed” so quickly and laughably, it’s terrible even by this show’s standards.

—Jessica’s motivation, the way she presented it to half-stoned Betty and Tabitha, was that she worried Jughead would say something bad about her in the manuscript. But, like, why does she care? Also, from what little we saw of it, he doesn’t even mention her? It’s all too flimsy and stupid, and was clearly done to set up Jughead almost committing plagiarism and being dropped by his agent.

—Apparently whatever Jughead makes at the diner is enough, because he asked Tabitha to call these loan sharks (she had their business card, and, as we all know, those are not transferable), and set up a payment plan. Which, we presume, Jughead is still adhering to, because no one bothered him again.

—No idea what Chad’s helicopter crash was for! Mighty risky move to undertake, never addressed.

—Clearly Veronica has a midas touch not seen in real life. 

—The whole reason for hiring these severely under-qualified people to teach Riverdale High was because they couldn’t find/pay real teachers. Yet Waldo decided to fire one of them, and the rest don’t seem to come to work regularly at all, so … who the hell knows?

—Not sure if they ever said who Toni’s baby daddy is or if I snoozed during that part (it’s possible, I can’t be assed with this storyline).

—TBK is coming back. We saw spoiler images for the season finale. This is carrying over to season 6.

—Apparently they have one (1) conversation in the finale. I bet it’s about Archie. Yaaaaay …

—Yeah, the palladium has got to be what’s poisoning everyone in town. It’s the only non-magical explanation for most of the stupid this season. ;)

[bronwynn]

what was the point of Archie’s dream? he did not in fact save Jug this season, that was mostly Tabitha

[positively-bereft-deactivated20]

Why didn’t Betty, Archie, and Veronica show up to Pop’s one year after graduation?

Feel like this season just threw so many things out there and just kinda walked away.

Where the hell is Toffee?

And what is the meaning behind Jughead’s tattoos?

these are all great additions. Where is Toffee the cat, indeed.
