"i didn't want to talk in front of archie and the others .... as it turns out, peabody had a lot to say. the bounty on your pal Archie, it's not just on him. it's on anyone who's with him or is helping him. which means there is a target on your back now too jughead. it's the same if he goes back to riverdale. archie's dad, archie's friends, everyone is at risk. which is why you got to cut him loose."

"im not just gonna ditch archie, mom! he's my best friend."

here's how j/archie can still win

#no more gunshots you guys gotta hear me out on this now😭😭 #im laughing so much but this is good scene . anyway !!!!!!!!!!! #archie tells veronica that hes not alone before he leaves (but doesn't mention jug 🧐) he repeats that fact actually. and then #him and jughead walk and walk for days and archie tells jughead to go back #that he can handle himself and jughead is like nah bro... ur literally going to get yourself killed. ANNNDDD jughead saves his life again. #untying him in that farm. keeping him from making a big mistake like killing hiram. ough literally always looking out for him smh #shows up in toledo with his mom . hoping & expecting them to be safe and penny finds him and penny says no one is safe with archie #AND HE STILL DOESNT WANT TO LEAVE HIM. as he should. W friend. #but fuck. Still. his own mom is telling him to get rid of archie and archie ALREADY FEELS FUCKING BAD that he got so many people involved #and that he's putting people in danger and causing them stress and grief and pain etc etc #also he's overhearing this conversation #literallt went on a road trip alone together subtracting the car. that's a fanfic trope right there ok sorry i had to say it #jughead didn't have to come with him. he could have given him supplies directions instructions and sent him on his merry way and stayed bac #in ri//verdale but he was worried ab him #it's true and real and i'm embarrassed that i typed all this about riv//er dale
