tbh in regards to the Core Four™ and all the shipping conflict i could not give less of a shit, i just want them all to bE OKAY i want ronnie being open w her friends, focused on improving herself, working thru all the shit w her parents. i want betty being free from her mom's oppressive behavior, getting a storyline not related to her still having a crush on archie, being a kickass journalist. i want archie healed from his abusive attachment to fake grundy, able to recognize what she was doing to him, reconciled with betty and jug and able to pursue his passions like a normal kid. i want jughead to have his best friend back, to feel like he belongs somewhere, to actually HAVe a place to live. ye the romantic subplots/iconic love triangle is gonna be a thing, but i really just wanna see these kids able to work through the things that help them grow as individual people
