I like to think that post-cheryl and the gang graduating, cheerleading ended up becoming like riverdale's stereotypical euphemism for lesbianism ya know like softball so by the time the river vixens get revived it's like
'i'm trying out for the cheerleading squad' 'oh huh didn't know you flipped that way' kinda stuff
and whilst it is important to me that it's not Because of cheryl in a Super Intentional way, more like part consequence of cheryl's HBIC energy magnifying her Big Gay Energy, coupled with a preexisting higher percentage of on the DL queerleaders already on the squad (I'm looking at you early seasons backwards snapback vixen and 1950's closeted couple who came out the second 50's cheryl did, betty and veronnica also count retroactively fite me) with just a dash of influence from choni's Epic Romance
it is equally important to me that toni and cheryl have been all but like Mythologized at riverdale high particularly to the queer students that follow
like c'mon A Blossom and A Southside Serpent ensured the rumor mill would always pay attention but then they went ahead and had their first kiss during a rescue from an illegal conversion therapy operation for the love of gaia, Absolute Legend behaviour
and its like even without the high stakes backdrop of gangs and cults and serial killers and lethal rpgs and atrcious parenting coloring their narrative
they are undeniably The riverdale high Power Couple, president blossom and first Lady topaz? never met a seat they couldn't share? officially the first sapphic prom queens in riverdale history?
Like the impact of all that and more doesn't get erased in 7-8 years and it's not at all outside the realm of possibilities that there are vixens on the team who have older siblings who were even in school at the same time as choni
which brings me to the main dumb reason this post exists which is i just desperately need a bunch of the vixens 2.0 to be queer and fucking here for the frenemy ex's Drama cheryl and toni are serving in 5.07
like it would be a travesty if there weren't a single Gay^TM to witness this absolute masterpiece of an interaction
from the record scratch music stop at cheryl's entrance (that ive just now decided was absolutely real and done by one of the cheerleader's gf's (who helps out with the tech side of stuff and is sitting on the bleachers recording practice for later analysis) armed with a radio remote control and the impeccable dramatic timing of a queer theatre kid) to toni's self-satisfied greeting from successfully pushing cheryl's buttons
'well,well,well'
'miss winchester herself'
'Another Surprise Visit'
Elton fucking John
'the bitch is back in town' self-referential 😘
'ThIs SqUaD iS mY BiRtHrIgHt'
'wrong' the divorced parents are fighting over the kiddddd
HUN
'so what are you going to do about That?'
the dual HBIC shirts (like Of Course cheryl has a red HBIC shirt in the practice uniform style but toni ALSO got a fucking maternity dress custom made like c'mon mfeo)
The intense eyefucking and insane crackling energy of 2 people who can be anything but indifferent to each other no matter how hard they try
Just All of The That above between them being seen through the eyes of gossipy little high school shits who find themselves actually kind of ridiculously invested in their front row seats for a new installment of the choni saga

while i loved the idea of choni being prom queens, am i the only one upset about the tantrum that cheryl had when kevin went to sign up?? like, it would’ve been so much better if she had to work for it and everybody agreed in the end to vote for her because they thought that she deserved it? it would’ve showed how far she has come and how she has people to support her now, except that apparently she doesn’t because this is riverdale and i’m expecting way too much from this show

UNPOPULAR OPINION:
I liked s5a besides the B*rchie thing.
-We got to know Tabitha (👑)
-Chad is an asshole but is part of Veronica’s storyline that is one of the most interesting things that happened yet.
-THAT VARCHIE PINNING C’MON
- B and A realized something all of us have known from the very beginning (sorry not sorry)
-JUGHEAD AS A TEACHER
-Toni being an actual QUEEN
-Choni angst
-The prom and graduation episodes were nice.
-Jabitha friendship
