theyre so real for this

This is the most sensible thing a non-fan has ever said about jughead riverdale

im fucking reveling in the glory of tumblr right now btw. everyone is posting like its 2013 to scare off twitter refugees and 1) its working and 2) its fucking FUN. no other platform could be this unified. this isnt commitment to the bit its thousands of superwholock sleeper agents being activated all at once

it’s body “horror” to YOU. to me it is delightful. romance

witches in old fairytales had the right idea. living alone, unmarried, in the middle of the woods, and if a hero stumbled across their cottage they’re like “maybe I’ll give you a magical token to help you out. maybe I’ll fuck up your entire life. depends :)”

you’ve probably seen the jokes about how archie andrews from riverdale went to war, but the producers refuse to say what war it was

but i’m here to tell you that the reliality is stranger than you could possibly imagine unless you watch the show

this is archie’s dress uniform

(the tepia overlay is present every time he wears it, i have not altered the shot at all)

this is archie and his buddy in the trenches, in their combat uniforms

yes I said trenches. that screenshot is from a flashback archie has to a member of his platoon loosing a leg to enemy shells in no-man’s land. (he specifically calls it no-man’s land)

Okay, so it’s WWI. That’s deeply weird, given Riverdale takes place in more or less the present day (there’s a weird amount of old-timey tech, but everyone also has iphones and laptops, so we can assume the old tech is people being retro), but it’s at least an answer

but it gets weirder.

because we know what country archie was fighting in. his deployment was in uzbekistan.

now despite it being called a world war, not every country was involved in the first world war. uzbekistan did not fight on either side.

because the country didn’t formally exist until 1991

so in whatever parrallel universe riverdale takes place in, new york and the town of riverdale exist essentially in the present day, the soviet union has fallen, but former soviet union countries are still fighting a war which should have ended more than 100 years ago.

so that’s bonkers, but i’m not done

in the episode in which archie decides to join the army, the school digs up a time-capsule from the 1940s and opens it. inside is a picture of four riverdale high students who were shipping out to the army the day after the time capsule was burried

the ghosts of these four WWII soldiers then appear to archie, convincing him that he should join up and fight

so to be clear, archie fought in the first world war, in a country which did not exist during the first world war, because he was told to by the ghosts of soldiers from the second world war, a war which could not have happened yet because the first world war is apparently still ongoing

and also it’s the present day and archie owns an iphone

#it’s because he’s fighting in war from the Movies and not a real war#riverdale characters are real people with real feelings trapped in media genres the way i’m trapped in heteronormativity#and his was sports inspirational and became war inspirational when he grew up (simplified)#people in the comments saying ‘riverdale bad ha ha’ will never get it but that’s ok. it’s not For You. it’s For Me. gay people who watch tv

@wallbeatjournal You. You get it. of the literally thousands of tags I have seen added to this post, these are my favourite because that’s it exactly!

I’ve been trying to find to words to explain to people that riverdale is written insanely, but it’s not written badly. the character work isn’t revolutionary but it’s mostly really solid! they’re as believable as any other cw shows characters, and arguably a lot more believable in many cases. it’s just that they exist in a universe that is made of genre patisches and a (possibly unintentional) dark shadows tribute, and that is deliberate!

people don’t seem to be able to realise that riverdale happens on purpose! it’s not an accident that it’s like it is, they’re not trying to write a normal show and failing, they’re trying to write riverdale and succeeding!

people need to realise that a poor little meow meow must be a character who has committed atrocities you cannot poor little meow meow a good guy that's not how this works

what this post has shown me is that so many of people on this hellsite cannot distinguish between a poor little meow meow and a blorbo from my shows smh

Hope this helps!
