TIL that theres aphobes on Tumblr trying to claim that Jughead Jones has actually been gay coded the whole time and that saying he's ace is homophobic I fucking hate it here

[readysetjo]

The reason that tumblr hasn’t had a “sexy man” in so long is that if we took all the traits of the average tumblr user and pooled them into one person and made them male we would end up with Jughead Jones and you guys aren’t ready for that conversation

Could you elaborate on jughead and his bad Moby Dick takes?

he's basically representing the most boring and smug "what you see is what you get, authorial intent is the only way to interpret a story, and also the author is ALWAYS upfront about their intent with the public" angle on literary analysis when he argues that it's pointless to try to read subtext into the book. famously a crummy way to read moby dick and a crummy way to read riverdale and all the context around it as an archie comics adaptation. no metaphorical readings allowed unless the original creator says it's OK??! OK!!

it's a viewpoint he explicitly grows out of in season seven. the jughead of the more character-optimistic s7 reboot becomes very invested in metaphor and subtext and the idea that someone could write about a milkman murderer but make him something else to skirt censorship and then deny the connection publicly. (and also veronica critiques the unintentional incel undertones of his writing and he needed that ❤️)

riverdale 1x01 - 6x22 was jughead (+ his trauma, abandonment issues and refusal to deal with his problems (or feelings)) being in complete control while writing and narrating the story.

riverdale 7x01 onwards is tabitha taking the reigns of the story in order to fix what jughead did while he is fighting to get back control.

In 80-ish years of comics, I’m 100% sure that a body-swap plot has happened before. Probably several times. Here’s my take on it.

(It does occur to me that Sabrina could also be responsible for this sort of thing. Magic or science, take your pick. Science is unexplained and limitless enough in their world that it may as well be magic. Don’t tell Dilton I said that.)

[gristlegrinder]

i am once again lying in bed thinking about rewatching riverdale. i say this without a hint of irony in my heart but i love that show. the television drama of all time

[amandarayyy]

Still looking for a job that fits with my schedule. Still hoping to find something remote (if anyone has any options let me know please). Or ideas on how to up book sales. I'm going to try to put them out at barnes and noble too so hopefully that might help. Fingers crossed. I've finished romancing mr bridgerton (yay!) and started reading a book by lucy score (a corpse in the closet). And just got to season 2 episode 5 of riverdale....still waiting for the day that I start to like veronica haha There's a lot of people who annoy me on this show but I was hoping to at least like the main characters haha

“Is this costume too revealing?” jabitha

Halloween has come to Riverdale. Houses down the streets lined with decorations, carved pumpkins and paper ghosts were everywhere. No one could escape the holiday.

Not even Jughead, who tried so desperately to every year but was always dragged into it by Tabitha.

This year, she had brought up couple costumes a few weeks before and Jughead, unable to say no to her, obliged. Now he’s stuck with an obscene amount of gel in his hair, dressed in a white shirt and leather jacket over top.

“Who am I supposed to be again?” he asks his wife, who’s applying some last minute makeup touches.

“Danny Zuko, and I’m Sandy Olsson,” Tabitha answers him from the bathroom. “Have you seriously never watched Grease?”

He tries to run a hand through his hair but a glob of gel stops him. “I was never into romantic movies.”

“That’s a shame. Romantic comedies are my favourite.” She steps out of the bathroom, her lips bright red, blonde wig curled and black shirt sealed tight to her skin. “Is this costume too revealing?”

Jughead stares for a second. She’d shown him pictures of what they were getting themselves into but he didn’t imagine that Sandy’s outfit from the final scene would look so good on Tabitha.

Clearing his throat, he responds, “It looks fine, Tabs. And don’t worry too much about revealing, Cheryl’s probably wearing something with much less coverage.”

She laughs loudly. “I wouldn’t even be surprised.”

Jughead moves closer to her and kisses her on her cheek so as not to ruin her lipstick, and he starts to kiss the sides of her lips, slowly reaching her full lip-

“Mommy, Daddy, stop kissing already!”

He hears his daughters footsteps running around the apartment first before he spots her. She’s jumping on the couch, blankets wrinkling under her feet. “We have trick-or-treating to do, all the houses will be out of candy before we even leave, come on!”

“We’ll be there in a minute, Terri,” Tabitha calls to her, then faces Jughead again. “She’s not my child, you know? With that melodrama and eagerness for food?”

The remark is teasing, but it doesn’t bother Jughead. “You’re right,” he replies, taking his wife’s hand and locking eyes with her. “She’s ours.”
