IMPORTANT PSA.

hi, all ! i’m sad to say that the time for me to put betty on an indefinite hiatus has come. riverdale has become such a chore for me to watch, and i’m finding it hard to really enjoy it with my current mental state. this being said, it’s hard to write a character when you have no idea what’s going on in canon. on top of that, i have a lot of stuff going on in my real life, and betty is an emotionally demanding character that i simply don’t have the time for. it’s unfair to my partners to put out shaky replies that i myself aren’t proud of. now, this does not mean i’m gone forever ! i’m working on another indie character as of right now ( who will be posted for you all to follow if you please ) so of course you can reach me there ! when the time is right, maybe i’ll come back to betty ( i hope so ) and you’ll all still be here. i’m truly going to miss each and every one of you ( and betty ) dearly, but this isn’t goodbye ! it’s a see you later. 

this is olivia signing off.

snakeswithguns / KRISTA :

Krista turned around to see the house she was pointing to. “Well, ain’t that something. Gentrifying at it’s finest.” She turned back to the blonde girl. “Well, if I were you, I’d make a little wardrobe change. People will think you have money and mug you or stab you. Also, carry a knife.”

Betty scowled, clenching her fists out of habit. “Stop making assumptions just because I’m wearing a pink sweater. My mother and I don’t have a lot of money. I’ve been her long enough to know what I do and don’t need. I don’t need to be taken under anyone’s wing. I got it.”

ofgathered / VIOLET :

Violet had finished her bit of homework, hence her math book on her night stand. Once she got Betty’s attention though she realized it would’ve been best if she’d rephrased her question. “Oh, no, no,” she shook her hands, “it’s nothing bad, I swear.” The brunette wasn’t sure how the blonde would react, but she believed her words weren’t awful. Violet took a breathe before putting her whole attention on her friend. “Betty, for a little while now, I’ve , uh, had feelings for you. Like , uh, more than a friend,” she finished, nerves practically exploding at the point.

She’d been unsure of what to expect, and for Betty that tended to mean something bad. A sigh of relief escaped her upon the news that it wasn’t something horrible, that it wouldn’t ruin her evening. Spending time with Violet was a positive experience and she’d be crushed if that got ruined. “Thank god,” she muttered, closing the book in her lap and setting it off to the sad. She turned her body to face her friend, wanting to give her all of her attention. But the words that fell from her lips weren’t anything she’d been expecting. She stared in shock, suddenly face to face with something she’d been doing her best to avoid. Her sexuality became personified, almost laughing at her. She liked girls, and she knew that, but she didn’t think she’d ever have to do anything about it. “I—what?”

catscrvtch / MIMI :

Smiling at the honesty from the blonde. The brunette took a pull of her cigarette and then flicked it away and exhaled. Mimi couldn’t leave her out here in the cold on her own. Nodding her head toward to building beside them which had music blaring against the walls trying to escape. ❝  Why don’t you come in? I’m on my break - so, we can work out where you need to be heading, what’cha say?  ❞

It’s in her nature to be a bit hesitant, wringing her hands as she contemplated whether or not to trust a stranger in an unfamiliar area. She opted to accept the offer, figuring if she tried to fend for herself much longer she could end up in a lot of trouble. ❝  Sure, thank you. I don’t mean to be a bother. I’m sorry if I’m interrupting your work.  ❞

A little part of me always thought -

[palmedscar]

goodnessfilled / ARCHIE :

“I’m not worried about you being mad.” More than anything, he’s worried that she’ll be disgusted. That she won’t approve of him, or his feelings. Anger is one thing, but being outright rejected by his best friend is so much worse. “I’m actually not sure I can this time. There’s a lot at stake.” But if he can trust anyone, it’s Betty. “You promise this stays between us?”

“Anything means anything, Arch. You’re my best friend. You know that,” she insists firmly, taking another step closer. Her hand reaches for his, giving in a reassuring squeeze as she awaits his response. His nerves are only making her more anxious, but she does her best not to let that show. Through the smudged make up and tearstained cheeks, she smiles her signature Cooper smile. “Your secrets are always safe with me.”

ofgathered / GRACE :

@palmedscar 

“I want to go back,” she spoke to herself as she eyed her creation. She’d made it before in the Enchanted Forest, but then they were brought to the land without magic. However, when the curse had been broken and magic brought to the town, she felt hopeful. When Grace heard footsteps nearby she raised her voice, “Would you go back to our realm if you could?”

Betty stopped upon hearing the question, slightly taken aback by it. The other realm, full of magic and familiarity. She could go back, as a mermaid, but she didn’t feel that was necessary to mention. “I don’t know,” she stated simply, turning to face the other. “I’ve been back a few times, and things aren’t quite the same.”

gonatombom / OCTAVIA :

@palmedscar | starters

just a little further, a little more. she needs to keep NOT slipping for a bit longer time, when her boots ram against the wet ground again and again. she slides inside the camp as quick as possible, but there’s still not time for stopping and catching some BREATH. noticing the familiar, blonde hair, she reaches out towards the girl. 

“BETTY!” she feels a little dizzy, she’s probably bleeding, she hasn’t been able to even watch that. she’s needed to WARN them. “there are REAPERS outside, we need gunners to kill them!” the monsters never come this far, octavia can’t help but wonder what’s brought them here. if it’s HER. but it can’t be that. she’s been quiet, she’s been careful. there’s no way they would’ve SENSED her being there – until she had begun to run. she wildly gestures towards the right direction. “on the southern wall…”

she’s startled by the sudden shout of her name, ringing in her ears and instilling FEAR in her heart. you don’t panic here, not like that, without a damned good reason. she stares in shock at the girl before her, almost certain something bad has happened. she doesn’t need to hear that there’s DANGER to know that’s a fact, and she’s already tugging octavia toward her.

she repeats the information relayed to her, yelling to be sure she’s heard. her main concern is the wellbeing of the girl leaned up against her. “they’re handle it. we need to get help for you. you’re bleeding.” she falls to her knees, allowing octavia to settle against her lap. a piece of shirt torn, made into a MAKESHIFT bandage as she searches for the wound. “where are you hurt, o?”

Answer that question.

[palmedscar]

            betty doesn’t like confrontation, she doesn’t like talking to her parents about personal things, and she doesn’t like secrets. they eat at her until they break free, blurting them out at the worst possible moment. she’s standing in the bathroom, sure no one else is there to hear her. ❝ i’m bisexual. i like girls. ❞ she says, eyes narrowed as though she’s speaking to her parents. but then she hears footsteps, and someone’s obviously heard her. she turns to face a familiar girl, lips parted in a gasp of disbelief. ❝ this — it isn’t what it sounds like. ❞

@bravewitch liked for a coming out starter. || sc.
