Deuteronomy 31: 8
the ability to say "i dont have a tiktok" in social situations makes me feel so powerful. like the general reaction is "shock, confusion, then this weird 'thats probably a good thing' response" its so fun
itās the way annabeth never even suspected percy to deceive her with the sword and pull a trick to save her because sheās been fighting mostly alone at camp since she was seven and has never had such a fiercely loyal friend who would have her back instead of expecting her to be the strong problem-solver ready to take all the blows no matter what. like forget that percy put her safety over his own, but doing so while poisoned and tired and on a super important quest?? thatās blasphemy to annabeth and yet percy did just that. iām not surprised annabeth hugs him in the preview because this seals their bond forever. both were ready to sacrifice themselves for the other (and grover, never forget grover) and that fundamentally changes dynamics.
This time, I'm thinking about that ending...The quartet...Wasn't really a quartet- but that aside.
They still wanted to be together AFTER their memories were back. That means, it didn't matter about Ar, or Be, or TTA- They wanted to see where the two of them would go. That my fellow Jeronica supporters...Is Endgame.
I've been dead for months, basically since the finale but Jeronica lives rent free in my head. Just...life gets in the way and I can't really do much with the plot bunnies that say "Hey, write this" or "Hey, there's this video edit that would work great for them" or "How about we manip this." So, they sit in a corner and multiply until eventually one of them wins.
Much needed Rewrite
"Veronica, do you still want to keep going?" Jughead's voice called her back to the present, her mind still flipping through the scenes on what she now had the knowledge was an old television set complete with rabbit ears and grainy color picture. It was the audio that kept replaying in her head though. "'Roni?"
"Don't..." She struggled with how to word it, the memories she'd seen- and the betrayal she hadn't even realized...She felt sick. She took a breath. "...Call me that." She finished as she looked at her current boyfriend. In his eyes, she could see what she had only wondered about before, that guile that she didn't understand looking back at her, she now did. She reached out to him, wanting to let him know that it wasn't him, it was... She closed her eyes and shook her head.
"No, no, you can call me whatever you want, Jughead. I'm just a little frazzled right now." She told him. Yes, that was it. It wasn't even a life she had remembered until now but still...Of all the people she had punched...She felt she'd given Archie a pass for far too long. Inwardly, she stifled the growing anger at the ginger, her first love- the one that she until just after this season of "Riverdale" would have happily called her best guy friend.
Not anymore. She felt the bile in her mouth remembering only 2 weeks ago she was happy to have kissed him. Now she found herself in desperate need of a mouth cleansing.
Again, her attention returned to her boyfriend...Yeah...Jughead was her boyfriend...Really? She blinked and he looked back at her uncertainly. "Did you want to continue or?..." He paused, probably uncomfortable at her silence. He had her sitting in an arm chair, while he leaned up against it while they sat in his town car. Tabitha had excused herself and Veronica now understood why.
"Doesn't bother you?" She asked the dark-haired man before her. A man, in mind but a teenager in body. He sat down on the arm of her chair, "My memories?" She nodded, he chuckled, "Which part should I start with?" He asked her. She gave him a look. "I know." He said and she knew he knew. He sighed. "Yeah, at first I was a little angry," she raised her eyebrow at him. "Okay, a lot angry...and hurt and..." He shook his head. "Confused." She thought that had to do with Tabitha.
Another memory, "Some universes you and Archie are Endgame and others you're not." Veronica looked up at Jughead, remembering how careful and guarded, almost guilty Tabitha seemed as she said that...But she had been too stupidly blinded by her undying obsession with Archie. "Yeah, me too." She answered. Her and Reggie, that was who she thought Tabitha was hinting at, but now? She wasn't so sure.
And it's out. Finally There's my random prose.
Ā Alright, itās been fun. Everyone has watched this already. 7 years of knowing something more, all down to this last episodeā¦TLDR?
It starts with J telling us 67 years have past- so my interest is already curving furtherā¦ He says itās the present day. We see B, 86 years old and she has a granddaughter. Did they actually cast Lili for this? Or is it someone else? B is the last one alive. Her granddaughter is named after Bās Mom alright then. I canāt tell by her features who the grandfather is. J is apparently deadā¦.SO HELP ME IF YOU WASTE MY TIME WITH THE OTHER SHIV. B sees what looks like J in the middle of the night. J says that he can take her to that day whenever she wants (because she keeps saying she wants to go back) She wants to go back to the day where her Yearbook signing was. He tells her to go through a door and she does and goes back to being young. This will be a challenging thing for Lili, playing someone who has years of life going backwards. I canāt tell which version of J this is. She sees A in the window- I didnāt expect to see any hints of the sunshine twins. I died, such snark from J āin thousands, at leastā he says with a smile that doesnāt reach his eyes.
Switches to A who is talking to his Mom about joining a crew to build highways. He is going to learn about the world and write things. His Mom thinks he wonāt be back after the three months of the job he is taking. Mary says he is just like his father. B says she doesnāt remember what happened to Mary. So Mary is LGBTQ+ in this. She hears someone downstairs and sees her Mom and Polly. Alice has become a stewardess like she wanted to be. Lili is doing great with how sheās acting though. Eight minutes in and Iām boredā¦Thatās bad. Alice learned how to fly a plane. I donāt know who the random person is that Alice marries. B and J are talking about Pollyās life and how she never goes back to her performer days. Lol Saw her performance? You were off imagining yourself you saw 5 seconds of it. They move to the next place, which is the school. 1967 days, we see V and B hugs her Iām guessing V is already died on her in the future. So youāre going to annoy me with this shiv again too? Title card.
Iām trying not to check out here. Itās the B show all over again as we are forced to walk through Bās reminiscing. We hear Queen T who is the Senior Class President and ends the announcement with a poem by Langston Hughes called Dreams. I think this is yup this is one my favorites by him. She recites poetry so perfectly. J the angel version reappears as B is looking over the news stories. He starts to tell her what Queen T was doing but B says she doesnāt want to know. Queen C is passing out Yearbooks. Switches to B with Fangs and Midge, their parents are accepting them now. Fangs also has a tour. B gets emotional, because it doesnāt work out Fangs died in the tour vehicle. Theyāre going to point out yup, Midge and their daughter lived taken care of because of Fangās Golden record.
K walks in and B gets happy and says sheās happy to see him and Clay. I AM SO BORED I THINK I AM QUARK MANIPULATING THE EPISODE TO FREEZEā¦.Although I love K and Clay but it just feels like this is the B show and I did not miss it. Her and TTA ruined so many seasonsā¦ We find out what happens to them, they live a spirited life in Harlem which makes perfect sense with them. Okay, but what about the script for āThe Cometā ? Did that ever pan through? They died within weeks of each otherā¦Well at least they almost died together. They are TWINFLAMES get it right, theyāre too perfect and lovely and developed each other into better versions of themselves. Please, for the sake of my sanity stop freezing I need to finish this.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. I am going to be sick. I am sick. Is this even canon? It feels so left field from where it was going but then again if you erase everything from the lifetimes that is bad then of course youāre going to have B and A with everything they could ever wantā¦No this is not canon. Sorry. My watch of this is over. Itās shiv, disgusting and not because itās a multiship but because itās THOSE TWO and the two they abused. Iām ticked. And itās still freezing. Iām disgustedā¦. Thereās this thing called chemistry and the right people and the āQUADā doesnāt make sense with them. I tried to make it through the end of this but itās disgusting that it really ended on this.
V goes back to Los Angeles and wants to produce movies and run a studio. They ruined the B and V friendship, that seen would have meant more if they didnāt make it sexual. V became a big shot in Hollywood. Lol after all that she didnāt keep in touch with V. I have so many regrets J whichever version you are. Queen T and Queen C you and K and Clay have been an absolute thrill to watch. Queen T helped make a black athena magazine and Queen C became a painter and her work was famous and esteemed. STOP FREEZING I WANT TO BE FREE. The Queens continued to be Queens and had a son named Dale. Of course they get an amazing ending at least something good happened. Poor Julien, died in the Vietnam war. Frank and Tom Keller were murdered.
Theyāre watching V tell J and A about going west. J says B should be there to help cushion the blowā¦Lol yes this is the B show, B 24-7. Sheās also on the side with A as A holds her hand Iām going to be sick after how he treated her. B shut up I donāt want to hear you talk anymore youāre not even B youāre Lillie. Everything is about you. This is the cast, not the characters. Iām getting more irritated. A suggests they take one last ride in the hot rod together. I just want this to be over. Maybe, if I delete all dialogue it might make sense. I love the score playing at the ride. Switches to B and J again itās nighttime.
Iām bored, this is a cast episode. Itās like, that one episode in Meteor Garden that I couldnāt tell if it was real or fake or what because it just jumps from one end to the other. Yeah and you wasted every minute with literal trash that has no development on a level I never thought could top GOT S8. Yeah, this is just a cast thing. A is reciting poetry or should I say KJ is. Also plot hole alert, if they forgot every bad thing that happened in their lives, no one would remember the human dialysis thing except for J and B as they were the ones who chose to hold on to everything. Same with the parallel universes, why would A remember that? He was trying to kill everyone. This episode is literally all over the place. Itās like God Himself is trying to tell me to stop watching. It keeps freezing every 40 seconds or so for no apparent reason.
B and A scene does it even matter anymore? THAT WOULD MEAN MORE IF YOU DIDNāT THROW A QUAD THING IN. Oh, theyāre about to use Lillie to kill the sunshine twins. A never returns to Riverdale after leavingā¦.he goes to California and meets some random girl has a family and is āhappyāā¦Did Lillie have a vendetta against the sunshine twins or what? Because this is literal shiv and makes no sense with these two remembering EVERYHTING about one another- I mean theyāre drawn to each other over and over in every timeline SHOWN on screen, because J and V had the same. Oh I see how it is, you give the sunshine twin fans something of what they want (because theyād be happy with just a kiss Iād sooner say I will never watch this series again because the ending is too OOC for everyone but the fan favorites, Queen C, Queen T and Clay and K.
B and J are visiting a grave, I was ranting so I didnāt pay attention to whose it was. She asks the question of what happens when they die. Oh it was Popās grave. B says she read his obituary. J made a magazine called āJās Madhouse Magazineā and it grew of course. J continued to on through that legacy. He asks B if she thinks about Legacy. We get more blah blah blah B show. B also made a magazine called āShe said Magazineā a feminist magazine. I want out of her. B did not get married, and she says she had no regret for it but that she adopted her daughter Carlaā¦Iām having vibes of āthings changeā the last episode in Teen Titans the animated series. That, is when I learned how depressing life could be and this? Not helping. J didnāt get married either. What were the writers terrified of the bug fans? The rage I feel, I think my emotions my stop altogether. I canāt process what is being said on screen because all the things about RD that B is talking about has been burned in this one episode.
Cast moment again. It really does feel like watching GOT Season 8 episode 6. I knew what was going to happen then, but I kept telling myself something would be different. It wouldnāt be exactly as the rumors had said. There would be something that had been different. I kept watching, just as Iām watching now- only difference is Iām not downing shots of white walker (disgusting alcohol, like the last season it was made for) with my partner. As this episode ends, itās like watching an entire other show. B dies, wakes up in the night of Popās young again.
There, she sees the diner lit up. J is watching from a distance, the door is opened for B by someone and there is everyone who has died looking back at her. B show, B show, B show, B show. After the success of the episode that had very little to do with her and TTA controlling all the storylines, did they really think that this would make a good storyline? Or were they shooting lines of pixie dust in the writers room again? Oh look B touches both guys hands while V gets nothing. I was right it was the original J, the one outside of the time line. No wonder he had no chemistry with B, whether Cole realizes it or not eternal J seems to only care about V. They had the audacity to ruin the scene from the pilot episode. Ā
Iām going back to great story telling, Demon Slayer. The real ending? I canāt even tell what it would be, ever since the ending of last episode though I knew it was going to be shiv like GOT where Arya kills the Nightking @acetraineraevyn ās words not mine) So Iām going to take a gander and say the real ending- well I leave it up to you all. Or I could try and write it myself. My dreams made more sense that the shiv I just watched.
I reject your fanfiction. I will find the ending myself. As you chroniclers seem too incompetent to write the story as it happened.
Jeronica Thoughts 7x19 08.24.23 Alright, 2 weeks late AND itās supposed to be the last episode that aired yesterday but here we are with the second to last episode watch through. TLDR? This is me and V, that's all you need to know.
I'm sorry I didn't watch that episode when I should have. This episode up until the end, reminded me of the person whose memorial I was at at the time. I will at least take that with me. As for work? I guess that was a blessing in disguise because if I saw this at that time...I might have been worse off...
Opens with J monologue the episode. He talks about the darkness in Riverdale that we already knew about. Featherhead has it out for J after being caught with everything that Clifford and the rest of them were doing. It seems that everything is being put into place. Switches to the Cooperās reporting it and J tells us that things are estranged between Hal and Alice (like we did not see this coming) but that they will still be living together with the addition of Hal moving to the basement. B looks extremely confused on why they are still staying together. Alice tells her she did not want her daughters to grow up without a father. B asks her why wonāt she divorce Hal now. We finally get to the root of the issue that I thought would happen. Alice tells B āWhat would I do?ā the house is his, she doesnāt own the station and she cannot open a bank account on her own and then she brings up how she will be alone with B goes to college while a sober theme plays in the background. This of course is because this is her greatest fear āYou know that I have never been alone a day in my life?ā Whatās sad is this would probably be true in current times with how expensive everything is.
Switches to the Blossoms, and Nana makes a comment about them rising like Phoenixes. Queen C says she has a plan. It switches to everyone at school talking about what will happen to the Asylum, who will run it? J says Dr. Werthers. Everyone says that would be bad. Queen T says she has a candidate just right for the job (Iām curious because right now I cannot think of anyone present that would workā¦Unless wait is this THAT EPISODEā¦) My horror aside at realizing that my subconscious may have avoided this episode for more than one reasonā¦ B vouches for her mom saying that things have changed for her and they might be able to get her vote on the PTA.
J says he will go pay a visit to Dr. Moldy, was there a person named this? Or is this a joke on Wertherās? He leaves and it switches to his point of view, I was right it was Werthers. He is apparently going to Washington and J is like alright go ahead leave. However Werthers ends on a note with āhaha I win, have fun sufferingā as he tells J that his people are still doing his work in his place and that Jās comic was denied again. So Pep Comics is still endangered.
Switches to A and R talking about writing. A quotes a line from the reading that he read. He says heāll be a vagabond writer during the summer while R shoots a swish after hinting that he would be going to a basketball camp. Switches to V reading the paper that Werthers handed to J. Naturally, the story about the comet comes into play and yup thereās her name. The story book she and him read together is what the comic was based off of. I wonder if V will react with any hint of insecurity, doesnāt look like it. She says what we were all thinking, the story is romantic and J then points out that it was banned because itās Black Man and a White Woman who find each other and you just see Vās face drop. In the same instant she then states it would make a fantabulous movie and J hints that he knows the Dubois so she can find a source for the movie.
Switches to B and Alice talking with Queen T about the PTA voting. Alice starts to talk with fear as Queen T brings up that the candidate she has in mind has been working as a Taxi driver since the integration started. B tells her mom that Riverdale is at a turning point and Alice listened. We get the original Principal back, I believe he was a great principal so this warms my heart that or Iām having a case of the Mandala effect and this never happened but Iām sold by his speech and the inspirational music playing in the background. Queen T applauds him and so does everyone else minus I forget her name Evelyn? Who cares sheās just the reality that not everyone will agree. Title Card.
IT IS the original Principal, this is wonderful. Principal Weatherby says heāll try to get Edith back and Iām loving everything. Switches to Queen C coming in to take over the cheerleading, she challenges Evelyn to a dance off and āwinner takes allā. I love the different dance style from the time era. Queen C just won with flying characters none of the vixens like her. Queen C tells the Vixen that itās a new era and tells them, that she is going steady with Queen T. Iām about to cry her coming into the light got another couple to come into the light too. That was touching.
Switches to Pep Comics, they plan to sell the comic without the seal. The Comet is going to be the Swan Song of Pep Comics. J is asked to write the last editorial of Pep Comics. Iām getting emotional here. Switches to B getting the first published copy of her book. Switches again to K and his dadā¦So in this version Kās dad is LGBTQ+ and you can see that K is visibly disturbed that his dad didnāt tell him. Switches to B about to show her mom her bookā¦I donāt know how to feel about this. Alice, me too, me too. Alright, this is an interesting turn. B wants her to read the book so she will understand B and maybe understand herself, Alice more. Alright thenā¦
Switches to A and Edith talking so Weatherby was able to get her back. Edith is supporting him. Switches to Clay and V talking about āthe Cometā Iām excited where this is going. She is asking him to write and direct a movie adaptation for The Comet!! We find out that she snapped up the rights and she went to Clay directly for the job. They both agree about getting Sidney Poitier for lead role and getting Josie to get him on board. We all know that Clay will do amazingly with the adaptation, I wonder if weāll get to see it. V says she wants to have a premiere in 4-5 years at Cannes. Clay and V are my fav friendship okay? Switches back to R and Aā¦.Oh no, R is being split between support for the farm and the basketball camp. They are sitting on the porch as A says, the most selfless thing heās done all literal seasonā¦ Iām crying this episode was perfect for what was going on this day for me. A says heāll take Rās place at Duck Creek so that R can go to Basketball camp. Ugh, I think Iām broken Iām actually crying.
Switches to Alice looking at B sleeping and B wakes up because it looks like Alice read the book. Alice tells her that she was right, she did get to know her better from reading the book. She got to know about the other women in the book too. Alice then says she thinks about herself and how her biggest dream was so small but B says that her mom wants told her she wanted to be a stewardness and see the world. āNo dream is sillyā this is hurting me on a personal level now. āItās not too late, you can be happyā This episode is a cry fest what gives?
Switches J at Popās writing the Editorial for the final Pep Comic, Itās beautiful as he says itās easier to tear down then to build up. W.E.B Dubois, there is always a chance for a brighter stronger future. J goes back to his train carā¦And sheās backā¦This is TTA version of TTA isnāt it? Yes, it is. She comes now to show him everythingĀ that is happening on her end. He doesnāt look so good. He remembers now and heās crying. Meanwhile, TTA is talking about how she was untying all of the knots and TTA says they were successful in fixing everything. Coleās doing amazingly with the turmoil that J is filling. TTA says that she wove all the timelines into one.
TTA then says now that itās stable, she canāt move anyone through time and that theyāre stuck in the past. J asks if no one will remember them and TTA said they could see the memories and choose to keep them or drop them. V looks conflicted. A shows up first saying that he drew the short straw. Hahah J sets a tissue box next to A because heās binge watching Riverdale. Now theyāre at Popās and A is processing everything that happened. A is visibly destressed, well done KJ on this acting. A says he doesnāt know what heāll tell the others, but that he was glad to see his dad again. He doesnāt know if the others will want to see it though.
Next, will of course be B and V at the same time. He sets it up for them and leaves them to watch. Okay so we donāt get anything separate it has to be them together? Yes B so much darkness and the two of you were horrible together. V points out that she killed a lot of people and she was with A she looks disturbs. After this, itās a full on group. K chooses Clay because he finds out that Clay wasnāt in any of the stories from the other lives.
Switches to TTA talking with J with everyone together. She says they have the choice to remember or forget. Itās a whole other world when I hear V says āAngel Tabithaā the same tone that I use with TTA. Remember only the good things? That doesnāt work, you donāt remember anything bad you donāt realize the mistakes or how you grewā¦. I see the pilot episode itās only season 1 I think thatās cast moments. Thatās definitely cast moments. TTA in the background watching. B looks happy, the car scene. J has his arm around Vā¦so are he and TTA done? Clay looks at Kevin. Okay so this is like a send off for the series. Jās face at the Va-chie kiss. OH A SUNSHINE TWIN SCENE. TTA looks sad at their scene together. Here we goā¦ J asks her to stay. TTA says she canāt stay that thereās already a TTA in this universe. Sir, you had your arm around V two seconds ago. Ugh, TTA asks if she remembers their epic date and brings up what I got ticked off at. You will NEVER HAVE IT, it was FAN SERVICE. All the feelings I just had for this are dying.
The comet ending wonāt come because of the time paradox. ā¦Did you ask V for thatā¦ Or are we supposed to be fine with this? Iām angry. Iām actually angry. This is a loss. IN FRONT OF VāS THEATER REALLY?! Iām angry, Iām so angry. Edited is wrong. He chose to remember both, so RD writersā¦You read my posts? (they used the word Chronicler something Iāve used constantly) B chose to remember everything as well. I donāt know how to feel about that. J says that theyāre heading into āGood Bye Riverdaleā Well I was afraid of this and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Iām angry. I donāt want to see that last episode but I will.
Once again V's character is thrown to the way side for TTA. I know she had to have an ending but this? This was fan service AGAIN complete with bringing it back up and HOW DARE YOU USE MY WORD IN YOUR WRITING WHAT IS WITH YOU CW PEOPLE AND USING MY WORDS?! First Julie and now you? Come on! I Should be getting credit for that.
By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
I don't know why I'm doing this, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive. I haven't seen the episode for Riverdale yet because of a familial reason and then work has been quite busy. I will watch it most likely with the last episode this Wednesday lol... I'm sorry to anyone who was waiting for a review. I hope it was a great episode and I will still review it even if everyone has already seen it. Thanks again.
Something I kept coming back to before deciding to be a non-chaotic person in my post for memory returned Riverdale:
Iād really like V and Jug to talk about what happened in their present time. I would have loved to hear V tell him: āA little part of me always thought weā¦ā (mirroring what A* told Betty) and honestly Jug and her confessing they just want to be happy.
Because I think it would release how they both have always felt: alone.
This series had these two sacrificing for the greater good all the time- and they never got back to a place of normalcy where they could both acknowledge it.
as i edit these future jeronica videos, i realize all i want is for Jeronica to be grounded in the narrative? I mean, the whole season is pretty removed from the narrative of the show, so jeronica also just feels like hanging in the air somehow? endgame or not, I just want the show to acknowledge out loud that this is what they could have been all along? that every step of the way, if things were different, they could have fallen for each other? that there are countless versions of them dancing the same old B*rchie/V*rchie/B*ghead dance, but there are versions when the cycle could be broken where Jughead and Veronica could be happy together instead of miserable as the second choices? am i just rambling? anybody else feels this way?
I just want this relationship to MEAN something in the big narrative.
and my first ever short goes to Jeronica. this is just playing around with loops, really, but enjoy! #fanvidfeed #riverdale #vughead
I just wanted to edit some loops for soo long, also it was a given that my first youtube short is jeronica, because what else? also, it's all canon content wth?
Is it true that Jughead says that he doesn't know if him and V are an item? This really makes no sense after what happened. I don't understand the writers š¢
It's Cheryl interrogating him, so he's probably being cagey about it, but I think it's more about the traditional dating practices of the era and how Jughead is clueless about them but also they have no parents, they both live alone and spend the night together, so they are breaking a lot of social norms already with their relationship and probably haven't had that conversation yet about how serious they are.
Also Jughead hasn't "pinned" her, so I think he's just being nudged in that direction. I mean it could fall apart too, with the writers you never know, and without context of the whole scene it's hard to interpret. But my guess is that Jughead is still figuring out how relationships work and they are probably building up a little bit of drama for Tabitha's return.
It might be cute if Veronica actually gives him a pin instead, for his hat.
