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.)
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
My first instinct, likely because I've just thought about her in relation to this more recently, is Veronica Lodge. Despite her insistence on breaking away from her family and her father, she frequently falls back on those expectations. She created a very rigid outline of what's allowed to make her happy and marriage to a man is one of them, doesn't think to explore outside of it because marriage is more of a business deal than two people in love. She followed that path until she wound up married and miserable to a guy named CHAD, and then found herself cooped up and miserable with Archie right after. When she found out Betty was interested in Drake sexually, she took it upon herself to tell that woman to back off like a jealous girlfriend because she refused to let some interloper live what she craved. CLASSIC COMPHET. With that being said, once she realizes her interest in having another woman's man is more about having the attention of that woman, she isn't afraid to act on that desire. Like undeniably she was getting sloppy with Betty Cooper!!!
Which then leads me to Archie, because really what I'm getting at with every "Archie has to rediscover bisexuality every day!!!" joke is that he experiences comphet to such a degree he has to be gently woken up every morning and reminded that his desire for other men isn't something he has to shove in a box in an effort to be the son he imagines his father wants. Archie wants to sing and write and run away to the city with a boy, but he's supposed to play football, marry his high school sweetheart, and raise their children in the same house he was raised. Archie struggled under these expectations while living with his father, but he chokes on them after his father's death because meeting those expectations are the only way he knows how to live a life in service to the father that he loved—firmly places them on his own shoulders like a dying wish. Archie has the worst case of comphet because he not only recognized his desires, but fooled himself into thinking he doesn't, believing he's singularly not allowed them.
