#archie (bc his parents are fine) for the story to start. does anyone understand what i'm saying at all

i wonder if there is a point to be argued about riverdale's "loss of innocence" point of no return being archie's affair with miss grundy. something about archie being the ultimate symbol to n jughead of what riverdale should be; ie the perfect all american boy, pure and innocent but ultimately the willful ignorance of adults and the rot that lies just under the surface of riverdale gets to him too eventually, like it had gotten to everyone else but it's what drags all the filfth to the surface.. something about the connection between his and grundy's date at the river and the boat ride on sweetwater river

#the thing is that everyone's parents are mostly the cause of the problems in the riverdale teens like i say mostly but it really is all of #them except archie in the pilot because fred is supposed to be the one good one of course he gets mythologized as a saint after he dies #which bears down extremely on archie who wants to be like him so bad but we have to wait until another adult who isn't his parents gets to #archie (bc his parents are fine) for the story to start. does anyone understand what i'm saying at all #riverdale
