Riverdale unanimously elected for best show on television

I’m with child. Earlier tonight we conceived a baby, a son. And in 25 years he’ll be crowned the Maple King just like his father

rivervale jughead being involved in the plot to ritually sacrifice archie on the cross to appease the maple gods because he & tabitha have bed bugs is still one of the funniest things to happen on this show.

I’m sorry for everything you went through, but you could show us mercy. You could spare my son.

First picture is the RiverVale hive, second is RiverDale.

This weekend I am going to be out of town so I wont be able to do my inspection when I usually do. I am afraid of the worst case where I leave and my roomate has to deal with the hives like swarming or something and scaring our neighbors. Based on what I saw this past weekend I think the RiverDale Hive might be solid for a tiny bit more space, and the RiverVale Hive I think will benefit from the wax foundations instead of the plastic foundations that was in their second box. These new boxes are each eight frames of wax foundation and two frames of plastic foundation. So I bottom supered the RD hive, leaving their medium at the top since they already have some nectar stored up there. I just traded out the medium for a deep on the RV hive since they didnt have anything really built yet in their medium.

I have been so excited to put these boxes on! I bought a ton of Archie comics and mod podged the images on and topped it with a clear coat to protect them from the weather (at least for a little while).

Notice how the weeds have already grown straight through my gravel...

Some close ups from before I took them outside.

Wish them luck 🩷

it's so funny to me that my legacy on this hellsite is going to be this post about how archie fought in WWI in 2021 in a country which didn't exist during WWI because he was told to by the ghosts of soliders from WWII

like, yes, that is wild. but it was wild by Riverdale S5 standards. Compared to everything that came after?

Magic wasn't confirmed to be real at that point. We still thought all the characters were human at that point. (They might even have been human, I'm very unclear how long Tabitha has been an angel wearing a human skinsuit, whether that's always been the case or if there was a point where she was just a normal human who later got angelified). No-one had superpowers yet, not even the dog! We didn't even know Toni and Fang's baby was going to be a timetravelling gay superhero destined to save the world from evil wizards yet! There was still only one Jughead, and he wasn't even immortal!

When I made that post, I didn't yet know that I'm apparently destined to go to the Archieverse afterlife instead of regular human heaven when I die!

All of Riverdale from S3 onwards is absolutely buckwild, and S2 is no slouch in the weirdness department, but The Event (aka Archie kills the multiverse) raised the stakes for weirdness in the Riverdale universe so much that it's genuinely hard to remember that the earlier seasons absolutely were bonkers by the standards of network TV, even if they weren't yet bonkers by the standards of Riverdale.

Like, yes the Gargoyle did turn out to not be able to teleport, and the Farm couldn't actually raise the dead, but the nuns really were mind controlling people! Edgar Evernever really did lead an organ harvesting cult, and he really did try to escape the FBI by flying away in a homemade rocketship! Archie really did fight in what appears to be WWI, and it really is canon that the gang leave Riverdale in 2021 and come back 7 years later to find it's still 2021! Mothman might have eventually turned out not to be real, and that one kid didn't really get kidnapped by aliens, and the Rat King might have been a hallucination, but Jughead really did survive rabies and Betty really was kidnapped and kept at the bottom of a well by a man called the Trash Bag Killer! Betty's two gay serial killer brothers really did get married in her living room! Penelope really was hiding in the walls and trying to convince her daughter she was being haunted by the ghost of her triplet she absorbed in the womb! Cheryl really can control bees with her mind!

It's just hard to remember how insane all that is when you're comparing it to any of the episodes where cheryl gets possessed by an evil immortal lesbian witch, or the episode where Toni becomes an evil ghost and goes to live at the bottom of a lake, or the one where all the characters from riverdale sit down and watch the irl TV show riverdale and then complain that it's shit.
