No couple on Riverdale moved that fast. Not I Love you and having a Baby after saying they want to be together after not talking for weeks. I get that you ship barchie but acting like is just how the show is isn’t true. Other ships weren’t like that.
Right, other than Varchie, who talked about possibly having a family together some day, moved in together, and then broke up later that episode. This has nothing to do with barchie, or shipping, or anything, it's just the weird, wild pace of the series. Sometimes it moves at a logically consistent pace, but more often it does not. Also, for what it's worth, watch the episode and then get back to me.
I’m sorry I somehow missed the part where a ship that had already dated for years moving in together and talking about their future was the same as a ship that’s never dated having a baby together.
Those are clearly comparable situations!
I get it I do, BA have history together! But the idea that you can compare a ship that actually has gone through the steps of a relationship to one that hasn’t and imply it’s just the way the show works is… factually wrong.
It took Bughead/Varchie/Choni a season to say ILY. Varchie could have the future conversation because they had already taken steps leading up to it.
BA’s FWB did not have the same emotional lead up! It didn’t! They had exactly ONE real conversation with each other before then not talking for most the season. As they had… for the past two seasons.
I get it. People LOVE Betty with Archie. They love the idea of childhood friends becoming more. Cool I can respect that. I can.
But there is absolutely no situation where you have ships that didn’t date on this show just moving in together and having babies. Even Kangs had a lot more than that to get to that point and they have maybe 1/10th the screentime.
So I am begging journalists who want to talk about this show to at the very least have a little honesty here. And not say Varchie did the same thing. They didn’t. They literally canonly didn’t. It’s not just how the show works.
Now I know this is an au and all this is meaningless anyway, but the bias involved especially when comparing these ships? Time to check it.
I really don’t even care if I get hate for saying this. I’m done.
Varchie dated in HIGHSCHOOL! Dated on and off for 2 years then spent 7 years apart and she married someone else. So there moving in and baby talk was rushed after one episode. The whole show is badly written and rushed so miss me with you shoppers only wanting to be bias when it’s against ships you dislike.
