º◦·✧·◦º ┊ kj apa, he / him & cismale ┊ damn, look at archibald andrews this year ! i heard he’s seventeen and has lived on the northside for seventeen years. also, his favorite milkshake flavor is black & white with whipped cream, chocolate chips & two straws, just in case you wanna get in with him. a free dessert goes a long way !
ok ya’ll so. i never fuccen made an intro post bc ?? im the worst & intro posts r the worst. match made in heaven truly. bUT as things grow & go on i figure i should get !! something !! up. so here’s this ?? idk what it is. bear w me pls. it’s most likely gonna end up as lil notes i’ll update / add to frequently as my portrayal tarries on !
as we all know ! s2 ends w archie being arrested for the murder of this binch ! i dont need to say it but obviously archie didnt murder anyone & it’s all hiram’s doing. for rp purposes we’re just gonna say the coopers helped get him out ( register connections ?? ) & now he’s just ... barely getting by.
post ! arrest leaves a sad, vulnerable, sleep deprived archie. he’s SCARED, in all honesty,,, scared of what’s to come next, scared to keep people around ‘cause he knows he’ll drag them down with him. he knows the arrest was only the beginning & he has no fuckin clue on how to make it stop. it’s safe to say he’s feeling waves of PARANOIA & ANXIETY, but he’ll supress it literally as much as he can. he’s getting back into writing music, tho, so hopefully that helps ?
like i said, archie is HELLA sleep deprived these days. he’s kept up late w pressing thoughts / stress / anxiety / paranoia, & will literally just sit in bed until he either decides to run it out, or talk to betty ab it ( if her light’s on, ofc ! ) in this verse, it’s not odd to find the boy w deep bags under his eyes / literally just drifting off in school. sad.
he broke up with ronnie via the notion that he needs to step back as far away as possible from the lodges. he still loves / cares about her so much & wants to support her / be friends, but it’s a scary time for him. he needs to disaffiliate w lodge industries, & get back to his roots ! he’ll focus on being her friend, & honestly, that’s what they both need right now.
speaking of roots, archie has been spending A LOT of time w betty ! they’re next door neighbors / best friends, so naturally, he’s going to her with a lot of his fears. when he can’t sleep at night ??? he calls her. when he's tryin not to be alone ??? he calls her. various other issues ?? u guessed it. all her. she’s become his literal girl friday, & it’s inevitably making him think about her a ton ?? while he’s at it, he’s been pondering their kiss, & is allowing himself to recognize the immense feelings he’s had for her. even tho he KNOWS he’ll never be good enough for her, he’s finally willing to let himself try to be. he doesn’t want to hurt her again, though, so he’ll walk on egg shells until she’s ready !
miscellaneous fun facts / late night musings
obviously he’s primarily riverdale based, but as an avid reader of the comics, i’m inclined to throw some of his personality from those in as well ! this means arch is ? i guess more so in touch w his emotions ? like,,, he is in the show, but in the comics it’s just. deeper. i dunno. he’s an emotional lil boy. fav comic moment is when he tried to call himself an albatross but accidentally said albacore. tragic. :(
there’s no single, widely accepted star sign for him, so i’ve decided to make my archie a pisces ! seeing as i myself am one & a lot of the charas i draw inspo from are ( ie. ron weasley ), i only feel like it’s fitting. defense: arch is extremely sensitive / emotional. he has a huge heart, he’s the ~creative~ type, he’s idealistic, loyal, patient, genuine & hella romantic. & finally ?? the 1985 birthday issue for archie states that his birthday’s is in march ! as for moon & rising ?? definitely leo & saggitarius.
in his earlier high school days i think he focuses his relationships a lot on lust rather than love ( grundy, val & even ronnie to an extent ). he’s v quick to say i love you & a lot of his relationships are v sexually based. i think as he grows up tho he’s kinda realizing the importance of like ? love > lust. this does not in the slightest invalidate his relationships ( besides grundy bc that shit is fucked up. he was so manipulated & it was mentally awful for him. gross. ), i think it’s just the fine line of Who He Was vs Who He’s Becoming. maturity at it’s finest, my dudes.
archie andrews is an INCREDIBLY physical guy !! meaning he’s gonna hold your hand, put an arm around you, hug you, etc ... it’s just a show of him caring !
while post arrest has him scared & trying to back off everything ... it’s only a matter of time before arch starts plotting to take down hiram with the rest of the gang. he just ... needs some time. betty needs time. veronica needs time. & jug ? he’s kinda got his hands full w the serpents, so ... we’ll table that, for now ! ( aka: i’ll explore this more when we finally get a hiram !! )
