Someone needs to write the essay on Betty Cooper, the sins of the father, generational cycles, serial killer genes, and Calvinism
#Riverdale#Betty Cooper#not me obviously#because I don't know enough about Calvinism to go into depth on it#I just know enough to recognize that Betty's worries about whether or not she is evil#and how those worries are based on her father and her serial killer genes much more than on her actions#and how they are wrapped up in some idea of fundamental goodness and 'good' as something you either have always been or have never been#are very Calvinist concepts#scholars specializing in Calvinism and its influences on America and American society where are you#god I love Betty she is SO INTERESTING albeit sometimes in a frustrating way (it's all the Calvinism)#has she--like the rest of the core four--been flattened as a character? yes obviously#is the Calvinism getting old? again yes obviously#but is she still complex and interesting? yes OBVIOUSLY#I have Betty Cooper brainrot#she lives in my head rent-free because I do not quite understand her but I want to SO BAD#I thought I did before but apparently I was wrong and I especially don't post-time skip#and I just want to pick her apart and put her back together#in the end Riverdale's success as a show and as a commentary on Archir Comics and America and Americana#and the darkness under the societal ideal of normality#rests on where they go with Betty and how they handle her and what her arc ultimately is#and if they stick the landing on her relationship with societal pressures and norms and boxes#and the archetype of the perfect girl nextdoor#my thoughts on Riverdale let me show you them

2023 CHARACTER WRAPPED
I was tagged by the lovely @hellshee to share my top nine characters of this year.✨
This is so interesting, I've never done any tag game like this before. Thus I've been hit with the realisation that I really didn't have the time or patience for a lot of media this year. 😅 So here it goes:
Kendall Roy, Succession
Tumblr media
no 1 boy always & forever will never be over him!!! he's!!! so!!! 😍☠🤧
2. Alicent Hightower, House of the Dragon
Tumblr media
Mother, etc <3
3. Aegon Targaryen & 4. Aemond Targaryen, House of the Dragon
Tumblr media
I know three whole characters from HOTD is a bit much, but this kind of brainrot explains the present blog. :))
5. Barbie, Barbie
Tumblr media
I really think this movie is a lot more meta-textual than people give it credit for.
6 & 7. Betty Cooper & Cheryl Blossom, Riverdale
Tumblr media
Will miss them so!!!
8. Alice Warren, Don't Worry Darling
Tumblr media
Genuinely wasn't expecting this movie to go as hard as it did, but I really appreciated Florence Pugh's work here. There are a couple of hiccups and the reveal + denouement could have been handled better, but this really kind of lives in my head for the vibes.
9. Cassandra Bowden, The Flight Attendant
Tumblr media
Didn't enjoy season 2 as much as the first one, the plot got too Mickey Mouse for my taste, but Cassie has always been well-crafted with a strong personality and a hilarious internal monologue.
And, as a bonus, I'm gonna slide Charles Macauley from The Secret History at #10, as he's my favourite from the one book I've managed to become obsessed with this year.
Tumblr media
tagging @ichooseviolence @aifsaath @maliaraeken @melodymidway @asoiastarks @aegonette @starstrucksnowing @rabiosass @sugerapplefairy @merryhaze @jotterjots @esther-dot @julyzaa @ai-megurine @fearthhereaper @kenicat @alicuntisms @starlight95tonight @henriettadreaming in return! ✌
