haunted house town

Riverdale ate my brain so I'm storing posts about how it did that here

The three Riverdale cultural contributions

Teen media cycle

50's Archie comics -> Happy days & Grease -> High School Musical -> Glee -> Riverdale -> repeat ad infinitum

[trappedinthenarrative]

-> Starfleet academy (maybe)

[trappedinthenarrative]

Starfleet academy was accused of being star trek: Riverdale by those who oft malign Riverdale, but the most recent episode is an extended our town reference so perhaps it could one day be star trek: Riverdale for real

If they add alien Cheryl blossom in season 2 we could be looking at real television greatness

Does anybody else feel the Darkness encroaching?

You guys seem to think I am joking. This is not a joke. It is in the room with me.

Honestly it is off-putting in a fashionable way. What do you guys think?

haters will say my delusions are negatively impacting my life but all this lesbian sex i'm having suggests otherwise. it's all about the Gothic Femme mindset, you lumpen ne'er-do-wells.

It's really hard being a sensitive straight guy. I love my friends, but they just can't understand what my life is like. New novel idea maybe? :/

Narrator Jughead, typing on typewriter: Cycles won

Betty: yeah sure but is there bisexual sex in the cycles?

Narrator Jughead: um well yeah I guess sometimes

Betty: great, point me to Veronica

Narrator Jughead: but the darkness-

Betty: WHO gives a shit. Now point me to the GAY SEX

No show can replace Riverdale, so let’s watch it again! For the next year I’m going to watch each episode directly after the movie it’s named after. I created a google calendar (or google sheets if the calendar bugs out), in case anyone wants to follow along. Tap each event and you’ll get the info about what movie to watch.

Episodes that aren’t named after movies are marked with as asterisk. Some are named after books, and some are completely original. Most of my information comes from fizzlehead’s list on letterboxd.

Happy watching!

slumping over in my seat and sighing loudly until someone asks whats wrong. “town won,” i say. they ask me to elaborate, and i make some sort of weak gesture which clarifies nothing. i take a long drag of a cigarette. “town won,” i say again, shrugging. town always wins. what can you do
