heavy trigger warning for the post ahead: this post talks about sexual assault, please do not read if this is a trigger for you

if you are not a riverdale twitter stan, you probably wouldn’t have heard about the sexual assault accusation drama that happened over the past few days. in a summary, four members of the cast had sexual assault allegations against them, only for a user to admit they had made up at least three of the claims. 

but you also wouldn’t have heard about a very real accusation that occurred. in all the drama, an accusation against alex hooch which was posted on friday with a lot of evidence backing it up, was covered up. who is alex hooch? he is a bandmate of kj apa, formerly of their band ‘legend’ (which was when the incident occurred) which has since been disbanded, but now is in a band still with kj called ‘the rumble fish’. 

@comingforward11 posted the heartbreaking account of what happened, and has since posted several pictures, videos of dms with hooch himself, and texts with friends directly after the incident. she also had a rape kit done, and has notes confirming this. her story is absolutely heartbreaking and has now been made even worse by the fake accusations which has covered-up her story and allowed the perpetrator to call this another ‘fake riverdale allegation’ as his get-out-of-jail-free card.

although the victim has since said she does not want to press charges because she fears it will not stand up in a court of law, she wanted to share her story because it is very possible alex hooch will use other fans of kj’s, excited to be at his gig, and prey on them too.

please help spread the word. there is currently an attempt to trend #ALEXHOOCHISARAPIST on twitter, please tweet if you can (you must put some comment for twitter to count it, not just the hashtag!), there is also a petition you can sign to get information sent to the legal team to kick him out of the band; unfortunately the band legend has since been disbanded and it is now ‘rumble fish’ hooch is an active member of, but it is the hope that this petition will still draw attention to those that need to see it. please don’t let this story fall silent just because this allegation is against someone ‘not as famous’ as other celebrities.

fire meets gasoline • chapter one • to burn, to smoke, to smolder

He’s pouring a glass when he hears the echoing footfalls of someone wearing heels walk across the floor and then a body is sliding into the stool next to him.

“Do you mind sharing?”

It’s the woman from the church; his raven-haired mystery. She’s taken her coat and hat off, and now he can see her face. She has stunning eyes; wide and dark and mesmerizing and he feels like he could get sucked in. Her nails are painted a deep, purplish-red, and she’s wearing a string of pearls that only help to emphasize her creamy skin, exposed by the décolletage of her silky black dress.

“Not at all.”

Instead of asking Fangs for another glass, he simply takes a drink from his and pushes it towards her. He expects her to flinch or make a face, but she picks it up, downs it in one go and sets it back on the counter in one fluid movement.

There’s her lipstick print right there on the side of the glass and Archie looks at before offering her his hand to shake.

“Archie Andrews.”

“Veronica Lodge.”

baby mine • chapter one • unexpected

The whole thing starts innocently enough. Some tenderness in her breasts and a sudden distaste for the smell of coffee, the taste of almonds. Veronica chalks it up to fluctuating hormones and doesn’t think much of it.

Then comes the bloating and the exhaustion. She can barely keep her head up and her eyes open in class, and her teachers start to notice. When they ask her about it, Veronica tells them it’s because she hasn’t been sleeping well. They look at her with worry and pity, nodding along and telling her that they understand before eventually dropping the subject.

Betty is her rock; calling off Cheryl when she berates Veronica for being too tired to participate in Vixen practice and telling her redheaded cousin to give her a break after the past few months she’s had.

Kevin starts carrying her bag and textbooks for her between classes, because she’s too tired to do it herself. And even Moose helps her with her duffel and equipment after practice.

Reggie, Sweet Pea, and Fangs come downstairs to set up for the night to find their boss curled up on one of the velvet couches, sound asleep, still in her Pop’s uniform. And when she leaves at the end of the night, one of them tails her, just to make sure she gets home safe and sound.

Josie glances anxiously at Reggie when Veronica falls asleep behind the bar during her set one night. When he goes over to wake her up, she’s snoring.

Occasionally, her mother will look at her oddly and ask her if she’s alright. But her father just assumes it’s because of Archie and ignores it, going about his business just as he always has, although he takes every opportunity to throw digs her way.

She’s emotional beyond belief. One minute she’s laughing, the next she’s sobbing. Veronica blames stress, hormones, and lack of sleep. Then one morning in late November, about a week after Thanksgiving to be exact, she jolts awake and has to sprint to the bathroom, barely making it to the toilet before she throws up. She thinks perhaps she has a virus. It is that time of year, after all, and she’s been feeling nauseous for a while now.

Despite the early hour, her mind starts turning and she rushes back into her room, yanks open her vanity drawer and grabs her birth control. She quickly realizes two things: first, it’s not a virus, and second, she’s late. Very late.

hey fam!

i think i saw on @hellodinoflower‘s tumblr that Ao3 is with such heavy traffic that sometimes those who don’t have an account can’t see updates in the tags, can’t get answers to their comments, that non-logged in users are not always able to comment. also they told the authors that there’ll be a decreased in hits and kudos because of the heavy traffic. 

they’re advising everyone to make an Ao3 account to avoid that and to leave comments in people’s works not to discourage the authors that might get less views and comments because of those issues.

GUYS, i know i’m annoying with this, but keep writing comments to your varchie authors! you can ask them to invitations to make an ao3 account too (which is a fabulous thing to do).

also, maybe if you check the tag directly, you might not see the newest updates! so try to check @varchiefanfiction or your author’s tumblr to see if they haven’t updated and if you’ve missed. in case you’re not able to comment on Ao3, send them an inbox here on tumblr!

these are fret times and we’re working hard to get updates out there, but we need your support more than ever! 💕💖

wait for me

She had asked him if he would walk her home, hands clasped behind her back, face tilted up to look at him so she could bat those impossibly long, thick eyelashes at him, her large doe eyes shining under Pop’s neon sign.

And Archie had been awestruck.

“Ronnie, you sure?”

He has to ask. He was to be sure that she wants this just as much as he does.

She nods, and says under her breath, “We’ve had this day with each other from the very beginning, Archiekins.”

“Will you stay with me?”

And of course, the answer is yes, how could it be anything else? Because even when their time together has run out, Veronica is selfish. She wants Archie just as much as she always has; maybe even more. And she’ll take whatever he has left to give her and do the same in return.
