Friendly reminder that for years and years one of Jughead's defining characteristics has been the fact that he isn't interested in romance

It’s not just one comic

Cole Sprouse Says Keeping Jughead Asexual Is “Severely Important”

The actor is advocating for the representation on ‘Riverdale.'

Cole Sprouse plays Jughead Jones in the CW’s upcoming Riverdale, a new show reimagining the Archie comic series. Based on the character’s repeated, emphasized disinterest in girls, Jughead has been the focal point of much speculation regarding his sexuality over the course of the comics’ eight decades of publication. As recently as last year, the characters was revealed to be canonically asexual.

With the aging comics’ relevance revitalized via the CW’s Riverdale, many fans are wondering just how much the underrepresented sexuality (or rather, absence of) would be specifically emphasized. And there’s no greater advocate than the character’s actor himself.

“I hope that huge corporations like the CW recognize that this kind of representation is rare and severely important to people who resonate with it,” Sprouse tells Teen Vogue, “That demands representation. It would be a wonderful thing if that were the case.”

Sprouse does reveal that the first season of Riverdale will not directly touch on asexuality; however, he does call the show an origin story, where the characters will learn, grow, and discover who they are. In the meantime, Sprouse says he will “keep fighting for this pretty heavily.”

Riverdale airs Thursdays at 9 on the CW.

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

Shout out to cupioromantics and cupiosexuals! Remember that orientation is about attraction, not behaviour. Wanting romantic or sexual relationships doesn’t make you any less aromantic or asexual.

Reblog if you would read a book with a male aromantic asexual main character.

[ameliaace]

That scene where Archie is all “I’m not gunna apologise for being a NORMAL guy” and Jughead’s head just whips round to glare at him and he looks so hurt is honestly iconic?? like so many ace and aro people can relate to that we have all been Jughead in a conversation/argument like that and it’s so validating to see it it comic form. like honestly the Jughead comics are such a gift.

[whatthehellisasexuality]

someone: you don't want to get married?? you don't want to end up living alone with a bunch of cats, do you??? :(

[romance-repulsed-aros]

shout out to the aro people that are having a hard time loving themselves. to the ones that hate their aromanticism. the ones that wish they could be anything else, to feel “normal”. the ones that feel like monsters, freaks, inhuman. to the ones that aren’t sure if they’re aro and hate that.

the ones that spend nights crying over their self hatred, the ones that have a painful ache in their chest when they think about the fact that they’re aro. to the ones that feel like no one will ever care about or love them. the ones that are barely getting through each day. the ones that feel like having breakdowns every time they see or encounter arophobia. the ones that struggle with their mental health.

you are all so wonderful and amazing. your existence is outstanding. keep going. keep doing you. i’m proud of you.
