Headcanon: Betty & Jughead have a son. They name him Forsythe Pendleton Jones IV and nickname him Cooper.
This is of course following a line of Forsythe Pendleton Jones II “FP” and Forsythe Pendleton Jones III “Jughead” and so he eventually is known as Cooper Jones, son of Jughead Jones and Betty Cooper-Jones.
Bughead + Summer for the head canon ask
bughead - summer
when it gets too hot and betty fears that jughead is going to get heatstroke because of his beanie she has to pry it off of his head and hide it until the weather cools down again.
when veronica hosts one of her many pool parties with basically the whole town there jughead spends most of his time at the end of the pool with betty where less people are, and spend their time together drinking whatever cocktail made for everyone and splashing archie whenever he walks past because he hates it.
when they go to the beach jughead takes a little too much time rubbing in betty’s sun lotion for her because her skin is so soft and he can tell she enjoys him doing it for her.
the bunker gets too hot in the summer for them to handle being in so they spend a lot of time sat by the river, whether that be to just sit alone or for betty to spend time reading as jughead writes.
in the night when it’s way too hot for them to cuddle without getting all sweaty and uncomfortable they sleep on either side of the bed for once, though still hold hands because they have to have some sort of physical contact.
jughead won’t stop complaining when he gets too hot and it gets to the point where betty throws her glass of ice water over him to get him to shut up.
fp holds a family barbecue once school is out and sat in the back garden surrounded by jughead’s family without her mother there it’s one of the first times she truly feels part of the jones family.
send me a ship and a word and i’ll give you a headcanon based on it
Headcanon. Betty gets tension headaches from having her hair in a ponytail all the time. I wonder if when she was a kid she spoke to her mom about it who just told her she should want to keep it neat and 'perfect' and to keep it in anyway. Some beauty is pain bullshit. Anyway Jug knows exactly where to out his fingers to massage the back of her neck to give her relief. Another reason most times they're cuddling or lying together, Betty's either got it in a loose high bun or down in waves.
Hello you precious petunia!
Headcanon accepted. I would also say there’s a chance Betty herself was uptight as a kid and wanted it perfect (expectations are hell on children) and it’s become a habit or something she uses to identify as herself but is getting more relaxed about it as time goes on.
I don’t know how many people wear their hair up constantly but I do when it’s long enough and it can end up painful af. I know the mister is always rubbing that spot for me and he’s always messing with my hair when I come to bed so I buy it. Maybe guys just like to mess with hair, I don’t know.
But headcanon is now canon, sorry, I do make the rules, hah. Jughead 100% tries to help Betty with hair induced tension headaches.
Thanks for the ask, lovely! 💜
Head Canon: Dag and Juni
Betty is picking Violet up from Riverdale Montessori when she gets a call that she had stopped expecting to receive years ago. She tries to remain calm while she talks to the social worker on the other end of the line. She says the word yes as many times as she can. Her voice wavering in a way she hopes the phone static cover up.
When she hangs up her hand is trembling. She calls Jughead right away. Navigating her emotions feel like a high wire act. On one side she’s devastated that Polly is dead from a drug overdose. On the other she’s glad that the Farm is no longer where Juniper and Dagwood will live.
There is also the cold hard fact that she hasn’t seen the twins for almost a decade, when the Farm was run out of Riverdale. In her mind they are still two pale toddlers, barely able to jump or combine more than two words.
They see the twins for the first time in over a decade in a sterile office that smells slightly of mold. The twins look every inch the belligerent pre-teens they now are, both focus their attention out the window.
On the drive home the twins make a break for it at a stoplight. Betty and Jughead capture them five minutes later in Pickens Park. Jughead has to fireman carry Dagwood back to the car. Betty has a tight hold on Juniper’s wrist. No one cries but everyone wants to.
At home Jughead keeps a close eye on them while Betty makes boils pasta. Neither twin has spoken yet, but Violet keeps talking to them, mostly about fairies and poop, which as far as Jughead can tell is something every three year old is obsessed with.
The twins don’t seem to mind too much and while they don’t answer her with words, they start responding with tongues and silly expressions.
That night Jughead installs a lock on the outside of the guest bedroom. They try to explain to the twins that if they run away, they might end up somewhere far worse than here, but the twins don’t respond.
When Jughead finally crawls into bed that night, his body weary, Betty is curled and crying on her side of the bed.
“We’re going to fail them.” She says once Jughead’s body is cradling hers. “Why couldn’t we have had them years ago?”
She knows living on the farm hurt them, she just doesn’t know how exactly. She may never know how if they don’t talk.
“That’s not how life works. We could still do some good.” Jughead says, pressing his lips to her forehead.
“I don’t feel ready to raise teenagers.”
“Is anyone ever ready to raise teenagers?” Jughead asks, and Betty laughs into her pillowcase, and then she cries some more. Jugheads hand a steading weight on her back.
Jughead is the one to enroll them in middle school the next day. Betty drops Violet off on the way to her work. She teaches second grade, and Jughead teaches fourth.
The next month involves both of them gritting their teeth in the middle school principal's office more than they ever thought possible. At home the twins have started to talk to them, mostly to utter four letter words ranging from shit to food. They are kind to Violet though, and Betty and Jughead take that as a good sign, they just wish it wasn’t the only one.
They are no longer the kind of family that goes on vacation or even for casual dinner at Pop’s. The twins are unpredictable outside the home. Still attempting escapes or offering up outbursts. Their lives become smaller, more regimented.
Cheryl offers to help, but after meeting with Juniper and Dagwood twice that help is simply a matter of money. Although as Betty reminds Jughead every month, every bit helps.
Slowly the twins start to open up. They learn that Polly didn’t raise them, because that is not how parenting worked at the farm. They learn that their closest companions were other children, ones they have no way of getting in touch with again.
Jughead takes the lock off the guest bedroom door. They start to be able to go to the grocery store and Pop’s with the twins without major outbursts.
Then during the second week of high school something that they thought repaired in Dagwood breaks all over again and he hurls a chair through a window in a classroom full of students.
Principal Weatherbee is spewing words like arrest and juvie when Jughead and Betty enter his office. Betty hears Jughead mutter under his breath “The hell if that will happen to my kid.” She takes his hand and squeezes. It is good that they know so many of Weatherbees weak spots.
Jughead ends up taking two days off work and going to the ocean with Dag, and when Dag confesses that the flare up happened after a fellow student through Polly’s history in his face, Jughead shakes his head, puts one hand against Dagwoods chest and says “None of that matters. Who gives a shit? I certainly don’t”. Dag’s fist un-clenches.
The twins survive freshman year relatively unscathed. By junior year both have good friends and grades. Juni has a boyfriend Jughead doesn’t approve of, but everything else is going well. They still adore Violet.
Whenever Jughead complains about the twins staying out to late or coming home drunk, Betty just says something along the lines of “At least they aren't burning down houses” and he shuts up. But they both know they are not their parents, that they are at least attempting to raise them right.
The twins don’t graduate anywhere near the top of their class, but they do graduate and go to community college, they get office jobs, and Juni eventually marries.
This was inspired in part by the incomparable SingSongSung’s series of head canons Bringing up Cult Babies. Although clearly I went a different route and am obsessed with the idea that Jughead and Betty end up with them later on.
How about.... Betty, Jughead, and Archie on an elementary school field trip. Head canons?
Yeah, let’s see what we can do!
Zoo Trip Headcanon
It’s the fourth grade, and they’re going to the zoo
The zoo is Betty’s favorite place; she wants to be a veterinarian.
Archie just wants to see Simba
Fred Andrews paid Jughead’s fee.
FP was too drunk for this to insult his pride.
Gladys Jones left for Toledo two days ago with Jellybean. Jughead misses them. Wonders why mom didn’t take him too.
“Grandma can’t handle more than one little kid running around. You have to be a big boy, Forsythe. Jelly needs me.”
He’s worried she’ll have a nightmare and he won’t be there to comfort her.
Betty sits beside Jughead on the bus instead of Archie because she notices that he’s sad about something but she isn’t sure what.
It takes two hours to drive from Riverdale to the nearest zoo. The trio plays “I spy” to pass the time.
It’s late May and particularly warm outside but Jughead wears his beanie anyway.
“Doesn’t that hat make your head all hot, Juggie?”
“It looks like a crown. I like it.”
Betty is the only one still allowed to call Jughead “Juggie.”
Betty has to stop and read all the educational pamphlets & signs.
Betty & Jughead devise a plan to single-handedly (double-handedly?) save the polar bears from extinction
Archie still just wants to see Simba
Archie is underwhelmed by the lions, but when Betty points out a cub to him, his eyes go soft.
Jughead has to get a free bagged lunch from the school, but the sandwich has tomatoes on it and he doesn’t like them.
Betty gives half her pb&j to him and Archie shares his chips
Jughead first notices how pretty Betty’s smile is when they’re watching the otters playing and she giggles at their antics
Archie lets Betty ride on him piggyback when her feet start to hurt.
“Why won’t your mom just let you wear regular shoes?”
He ends up carrying her around like that most of the afternoon.
On the ride home, Betty falls asleep on Jughead’s shoulder.
Headcanon:
Bughead loves playing Clue
This is crazy but,
We got a pic that’s most likely a Bughead sex scene. What if, the big finale cliffhanger is that Betty is pregnant. The babysitting foreshadowing. Following her sister’s footsteps but her mom being accepting. Following her mom’s footsteps too. It could happen. You never know in Riverdale.
jughead looked like a 50's bad boy without his beanie and with all his bruises and wounds from the fight and his arm around his girlfriend who looked so in love with him and sign me tf up for more of this pls
