Hi Ashton! I saw in your tags that Barchie is a notp for you and would love to hear why. I shipped Bughead but gave up in the show before Barchie ever got together :)

Oh god. Where to begin? I acknowledge that based on the pilot and the first couple of episodes of season 1, the idea of Betty and Archie together was fine. It wasn't particularly interesting, but at first they seemed to have a solid friendship that could have realistically developed into more if Archie only reciprocated Betty's feelings. Unfortunately, Riverdale basically handled every fucking aspect of their relationship poorly. For one thing, the friendship between Betty and Archie was rarely ever on display unless they were interacting during group scenes or their possible romance was being teased to create drama for the Bughead and Varchie pairings. So in spite of the fact nothing concrete happened between Betty and Archie until the end of season 4, there was nothing to lean on once the writers finally started to head in the BA direction. While the lack of on screen friendship should be blamed on both, Archie in particular showed little interest in Betty's life.

This relationship destroys Betty. The crux of Betty's feelings for Archie, as inconsistent as they are, is that Betty views Archie as this beacon of light that can never be extinguished due to him being pure of heart or some other thing that I disagree with. She romanticizes the idea of how things were before life got so complicated. In her eyes, these childhood memories that we never saw were untainted and good. As a child, Betty always imagined she'd end up with Archie, marrying him at eighteen years old. Teen Betty held on to this dream for a very long time, but was forced to face the truth that Archie didn't feel the same way. If I'm being generous, I'd say Archie considered Betty as a backup plan, but not much more beyond that. But by the end of season 1, Betty realized she wanted so much more for her life than being a power couple with Archie. Betty found real love with Jughead, someone who saw all of her, embracing both the lightness and darkness. Betty discovered a love for investigating mysteries and going down the rabbit hole in the name of justice. Betty likes making murder boards and searching the woods in the middle of the night. Part of the reason for this is that Betty is inherently attracted to darker aspects of life. Betty struggles a lot to accept these sides of herself as her awful, abusive family tells her over and over that she's the problem and the one bringing misery to everyone's lives as she strives to help and improve things for her family. Based on the way she was written during seasons 1-4 prior to the cheating, it came across like Betty was beginning to accept these sides of herself, proud of the person she was with Jughead by her side.

But the moment things with Jughead seemed as though they were uncertain, as flimsy as the issue was (Jughead not doing his homework), Betty turned to Archie to escape from the reality of life. That basically sums up what Archie is to Betty during the adult years as well. When Betty finally confesses to Jughead what happened with Archie, it breaks them. The communication seems to die then and there with both remaining together passively until Betty leaves for college. We later see that Betty and Jughead reconnected to some degree during their freshmen year of college, talking and texting while in relationships with others, essentially engaging in an emotional affair. The timeline from there is confusing because the show could never decide when exactly Jughead left Betty the voicemail, but it seems clear that Betty's life kind of fell apart after that? She ends up having an affair with a married man (who might have turned out to be a serial killer? Seasons 5-7 are kind of a blur for me) and is eventually held captive by the Trash Bag Killer. From there, we see that Betty has trauma over this. She refuses to deal or properly feel her emotions. Jughead is off limits. They still aren't talking and the divide between them has only grown bigger after the voicemail where Betty was led to believe Jughead hated her and thought she was a terrible person, not realizing he'd spiraled into alcoholism and drug use. Archie could never be alone and teenage Betty wanted to fuck Archie once upon a time, so why not? So they enter a friends with benefits relationship that ends up being much more about the benefits and filling a void than it is being actual friends to one another. Betty doesn't want Archie to be this person for her. He makes her feel good and comforted in the moment, but ultimately she's aware the two of them don't work. Not only that, but Archie verbalizes to his army friend that he does NOT want to be there emotionally for Betty. Much like in season 2 after their kiss, Archie went back to Veronica because that's where his heart led him.

Betty continues to emotionally spiral and doesn't seem to improve much over the course of the season. Archie doesn't seem to notice or care. Jughead does. Their interaction is limited, but there's a semblance of a rebuilding phase where the two renew their friendship and go back to investigating together. While Betty's feelings for Jughead are kept ambiguous because again, her emotions are being kept close to her chest and there's a lot she isn't saying or dealing with. Jughead, on the other hand, makes it clear multiple times throughout the season that he hasn't moved past his breakup with Betty and had already forgiven Betty by the time he returned to Riverdale even if he wasn't saying it. Then, completely out of nowhere, Jughead is singing about how he's "perfect" for Tabitha, a song that Bughead fans have frequently said fits Bughead far better. Due to Veronica breaking things off with Archie because she wanted to return to New York, something also totally random that never came to pass, a day drinking Archie decided that he wanted to sleep with his old pal Betty again so they basically get back together at the end of season 5 with zero build up. We don't know why Betty defaults back to Archie. Cheryl did some sort of spell that blatantly had an effect on the plot, though that's never addressed. Then, the characters are in Rivervale, and Betty murders Archie twice and shares a big moment with Jughead where they almost fuck to save the world. Back in regular Riverdale once the universes have been separated, Betty and Archie enter an official relationship. Everything is always about Archie. If there's ever any sort of conflict, Betty will be the one to sacrifice and to change her stance to make things easier for Archie. There's at least one scene where Betty is ranting about something bothering her and Archie is just sitting there like it doesn't matter to him. 99% of their conversations revolved around Archie wanting to fuck or save the town and get rid of Percival Pickens for good. Midway through the season, Betty had another crisis about fearing she was evil, but Archie (basically ripping off something Jughead said at the end of season 2; this also happened to be a flashback the audience had just seen during the episode where Betty and Jughead were going over Betty's past memories together, including multiple iconic Bughead moments) reassured Betty she was a good person, citing a childhood memory the audience had never seen to prove his point. And that's another thing! Rather than showing us much of anything between Betty and Archie in the present to convince us they were meant to be together or were compatible in any way, we just hear about random childhood memories. Everything Betty and Archie ever did revolved around looking back fondly on their so-called idyllic childhoods or having sex. Season 6 Betty came across as such a lesser version of herself. She was still herself, but it was as if she was holding back. It's like, maybe Betty doesn't want to get married? Can't have that! Archie has to settle down in Riverdale and recreate his father's life, meaning Betty needs to get over herself and shove her round self into a square peg so that all of Archie's dreams come true. I mean, multiple times during season 6, Archie was treated as akin to the savior of Riverdale while Betty was legitimately referred to as the "harlot of Babylon". Archie was perfect and indestructible while Betty was dark and dirty and needed to be cleansed before she could be accepted into Heaven. Basically, Archie is perfect as is and doesn't need to adjust himself in the slightest to become a better partner for Betty. But, Betty needs to change nearly everything about herself, reverting back to wanting things that only made sense to kid Betty, all to fulfill some old dream about settling down with Archie that the real Betty hadn't wanted in years. Not to mention the fact that as early as season 1, Betty resented being the perfect girl next door. Well, with Archie, that's basically all she was.

Betty and Archie were never going to work together, but the fact that Betty tried so hard to mold herself into some perfect, cookie cutter housewife, maternal figure all so Archie could have the white picket fence and the 2.5 kids makes me FURIOUS. It was incredibly misogynistic, and honestly led to me despising Archie. Betty deserved so much better. As fucked up and as gross as the "horny Betty" writing for the majority of season 7 was, I'm just relieved that Betty once again reiterated that she and Archie wanted different things and definitively didn't end up together.

[thetaoofbetty]

am watching again. because i know i missed things while being perpetually distracted by bughead and palladium soup:

side eyeing how cheryl brings up palladium as his weakness but it's not for the others since it's obviously a kryptonite stand in but also connects archie alone to the mines

jughead tells her to think of them as comic books but also we see which one you pulled out, my guy

heyyyyy, why didn't any of us notice he's wearing a version of the outfit that he's wearing during their first kiss while seeing those memories?

uh hal is gross and creepy? gonna need the people who are like, yeah her life was bad but... not to bring that energy to me ever again

they said we're gonna show how little veronica thinks of reggie

britta using cheryl for grade negotiations is the energy i want for her

also alice forwards a lot of emails to her? who knew they actually communicated?

if people don't think jughead is the one seeing these traumatic moments while reliving his memories with her, especially the one where he comforts her about her thinking she's evil, for no possible future reasons, i don't know what to tell you

archie's face changing when betty calls to invite him out with veronica is hilarious

i've never had a hangover so now i'm choosing to believe i am a very tiny bit of a spider woman. fist bump it out, ronnie

we were robbed by getting no cheronica ever. ROBBED

alice is trash. has always been trash and will forever remain trash. the end

is betty gonna be like, yeah, imma go evil because her thinking she's evil is like, a *~theme~* at this point

totally not mentioning how they showed how only one person has told her she's not like her dad in the same episode

i like how they went from football or music to forging archie in fire to make him invulnerable

did they just do a product placement of canva in dialogue?

yeah, betty doesn't look overly thrilled about him being invulnerable again? then again, archie with an ego is insufferable so i get that

them putting in the varchie kiss and the bughead flashback parts where they do in the song because of the lyrics is hilarious of them

i do not trust heather

#riverdale spoilers #long post #listen #i am clearly procrastinating let me live #they really said we're gonna wait until all these bughead kisses are over to have her sing the part about #with the taste of your lips i'm on a ride #that's truly funny of them good job roberto

If you hate riverdale so much you can just stop watching. Why bother with something that's only bringing you negativity? I'm not sauing this to trash the show, I'm a huge fan of it, I just don't get why so many people force themselves to engage with the fandom when they don't even like it? It doesn't sound like it's enriching your life at all

I started watching Riverdale when it first aired. I created this blog because of it. Until the whole BA fiasco at the end of season 4, it was a big source of joy for me. I've been shipping Bughead before I knew what shipping was, back when I was reading Archie comics as a kid. I'll always be grateful that the show brought them together.

That’s also why it’s so frustrating: the writers gave us this beautiful relationship and ripped them apart for no reason whatsoever except cheap drama. And it’s my fault if I keep hoping that they’ll realize their mistake and fix it. I should know better by now. But honestly, I don’t think I'm that negative on my blog. I'm mostly here for the friends I made along the way and to reblog Bughead gifsets and fanfiction.

I can understand and accept that there is nothing about Bughead in any of the interviews. I guess they are not allowed to ask about it. But why didn't any interviewers have the balls to ask about Vale/Dale shit? Why didn't any of them ask about why season 6 had so many reworked scenes and lines from seasons 1-4, but with different characters? Who are they all so afraid of? No, I understand, all of this season's trash has officially been burned to the ground. But fuck?

I want an answer to my question - Why did Riverdale think that they could bully me and not explain it in any way?

With your answer about wanting BH to scream and kiss I remember the episodes of One Tree Hill season 5 when they did a time jump. If you don’t know about this show, basically BAs think Peyton is Betty and Lucas is Archie even when they have nothing in common relationship wise, specially when we get to the time jump, but anyways. They project those delusions into endgame couples with remotely similar archetypes. Peyton and Lucas broke up when they were going to college (he proposed and she said no) and Lucas and Brooke (Peyton’s friend) dated but he cheated on her with Peyton (that’s the only thing BAs can draw from it even when both of their relationships were significantly different and actually well developed not just used as trauma value). So, time jump after 5 years. Lucas is a writer and he published a book about his love for Peyton and invited her to the book signing but she didn’t show up (except she did but then turned around but that was a plot twist) – sounds familiar? So Lucas is in a committed relationship and actually will get married but Peyton shows up to town and changes everything because he is obviously still in love with her and they gave them jealousy, pinning and this amazing scenes when they are yelling at each other and she confesses she brought ever single copy of his book when she saw it.

These are the scenes: https://youtu.be/xW6C9Ea37yY and https://youtu.be/W-KzCtiyB-M AND THIS https://youtu.be/72PAqwMOpQI (I recommend you watch the scenes).

Riverdale will never master this level of writing because the show is so boring now and they had all the material to make memorable and dramatic scenes for BH with the whole book, voicemail and just everything but refused to do it. On OTH, they even had Peyton finally read the book almost at the end of the season (it was Lucas ex fiancé that gave it to her) like the material was there for Riverdale and nothing… the characters are emotionless and drama free in the most unrealistic way. Nothing about them on season 5 was cathartic.

Oh anon, I was never an addict, but I've seen OTH. I am familiar with the Lucas/Peyton/Brooke triangle but I always though Lucas was kind of trash.

I hope in the future, Bughead will be the Naley of Riverdale. Right now they're skewing towards Lucas/Peyton/Brooke but before they were very Naley...the steady couple to their friends' drama and while they had issues, they were couple issues that they soon resolved.

Can we get back to that please? Because dragging this out is hella boring.

I don’t really talk about my struggles with anxiety and depression on here because I try to keep my tumblr light and happy. But fuck man, if my depression hasn’t been knocking me out since July. My life is in one of it’s biggest transitory periods right now and there’s a lot of uncertainty. I’m publishing a book that I *hope* does well. I’ve moved and started completely over. I don’t know how I feel about that right now. I am trying to find my faith again. And I have about 10 things wrong with my physical health and a bunch of tests upcoming. Thanks to all of you who read my fanfic and remain so supportive. Thanks to you all who welcome me so openly into the Bughead community even though all I write are AUs cause the show is trash. But I ain’t doing well. I’ll be around but writing may slowdown.
