This is a horror comic so if that's not your jam, you may wanna bounce and mute this thread. 👍🕺
I too would destroy the world for Hotdog. Comics Jughead continues to be a relatable king.
Sometimes dead is better ~
Bro this is so sad 😞
Oh hey, Swedlow Swamp is where they were looking for Polly in 5A!
You know, it's never great when your bestie with powers sneaks out in the middle of the night and tells you not to talk about it.
And lol at Roberto once again being LITERAL by having Sabrina's mouth sewn shut.
I'm happy S5 leveled up Reggie cause he's really just a plot device in all these stories.
First he hits Betty with his car, now Hot Dog...
Aw man...bye, Juggie.
Jarchie rises!
Not Waldo!!!
Jughead must smell so bad
Literally everyone in Riverdale epsiode 4x15 lol
Someone warned me there's a whole Cheryl and Jason incest subplot and we're just gonna blue skidoo the hell outta THAT.
So yeah if you think that's ever a line for Roberto...lemme tell you some harsh truths, kids. It sure isn't!
Funny that Roberto brings this up here, too!
Even in his darkest works, Roberto enjoys having Betty act as a moral compass for the other characters.
Veronica, I think you should reevaluate those priorities...
Veronica: Ugh, my BFF Betty is so annoying...
Also Veronica: GET AWAY FROM MY ANNOYING BFF BETTY
Betty will never leave Archie behind.
Also, Archie again isn't stupid - he's a bit of a himbo and is the first one to make the connection to Jughead and Hot Dog.
Not Fox Forrest!
*extreme KJ Apa voice* It was for Betty
I love how Archie announces this while holding Betty. I mean...if I were Veronica, I'd toss him out to the zombies but that's just me.
Also weird way to announce to your class you're a fucking creep, Archie.
This is the worst game of Guess Who ever
Dang, Fred and Mary are def donezo.
Betty, babe, priorities, please.
I guess Midge and/or Moose is infected cause Roberto killed Midge off in S2.
Called it!!!
NOT VEGAS!
ROBERTO, STOP KILLING ARCHIE'S DOG!!!
Me every time I ask my partner to watch Riverdale with me
FUCK YOU, ROBERTO 😭🖕
NOOOOOO BOTH OF ARCHIE'S BEST FRIENDS ARE DEAD, I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT
Does this dog....talk now?
Roberto, you're a weird dude, man.
JESUS CHRIST?!
Well, this was a lot...um...
So, Fred's dead.
Oh wow!
Did not think we'd be 2-for-2 on the Barchie train, but thanks Roberto?
Roberto even has the Barchie window in here and Betty keeping a diary where she writes about meeting Archie!
Roberto always writes Archie so tender with Betty. I've noticed this in Riverdale, too.
She's tough as nails, but RAS will have Archie treat Betty like fine china because he knows that under that tough exterior, Betty Cooper feels everything so deeply. He just loves her so much.
Archie being there for Betty after losing her parents and Polly - BASS BOOSTED!!
LACY'S IS A THING IN THE COMICS? SHUT UP!
Barcheating in every universe ✊
What the hell did Polly Cooper do to Roberto to make him hate her so much??
Lol Roberto is doing way too much rn
I just....yeah okay sure, Cheryl. I mean Blaze.
Whatever.
Roberto is like, "Jason will die in every reality!"
Fellas, is it gay to hallucinate your dead best friend who started a zombie apocalypse serving you drinks as you talk about your feelings alone together? 😔
Is it some sort of monkey paw curse that any story where Archie realizes his feelings for Betty we still need to deal with Hiram for an ungodly amount of time?
Yeah dude, this is all kinda your fault??
Wowwweee this is one loaded page!
I don't think I have enough tweets to dig into the allegory that is Archie hallucinating Jughead just as he's faced with the monumental task of finally telling Betty that he loves her.
CW Riverdale 2017 -
Archie proposes to Betty and she tells him to wait until they're 18 just like in the show...🥺
Archie is rapidly running out of friends! This is going to be the smallest wedding ever.
Wrapping this up, all I can say is I dunno how anyone can read Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's work and think he doesn't care about Betty and Archie.
P.S. - They found horses together 🥺

Hey so like I'm 1000000000% sure that Izuku and Katsuki triggered Third's power the night before the fight which is somehow connecting them and allowing them to talk during the fight. #bkdk
And Katsuki has OFA. My hunch is that Third's power is the ability to share/split quirks.
Hori does a bit of a bait and switch here, because we THINK Bakugo is talking to Jeanist when he says "Right," but he's actually talking to Izuku. We don't see his face, but when we do the OFA stars appear right afterwards. #bkdk
I also think its STUPID romantic that Katsuki starts up OFA after Shigaraki reminds him that he's the most important person to Izuku and beats the crap out of him. #bkdk
I want to root for them and I'm sure its happening because its manga, but dear LORD can they at least not be covid distance and could Izuku say something more than, "Your hair suits you"?
Het ships in Shonen, you gotta do better. It's literally the main romance.
"You are who I picture when I think Victory." / "I've always chased after you!
Vs.
"Your hair suits you."/ "Guess we're both oddballs."
I don't think they need to beat the snot out of each other, but god can their relationship have any stakes? Any movement? Anything other than, "I boy, you girl, we date now."
This isn't really a theory, per say, but more something I've been thinking about regarding Fangs as we go into the final episodes of Season Six.
Since they brought Moose back and linked him up with Kevin, I've been wondering what they're gonna do with Fangs.
His most important role, narratively speaking, is being Anthony's biological father. It's not REALLY about Toni or Kevin.
In Vale, he appeared in Kevin's ideal fantasy after his deal with the devil and then again as the warlock who killed Thomasina. He wasn't really framed as some type of Lost Love for Kevin, but more a stand in against Kevin's own loneliness.
Riverdale's Season 6 Thematic Question & The Three Act Structure (a thread)
Welcome to a new Riverdale season and a new thematic question!
For those who weren't here last year, here's a refresher. Television traditionally follows a Three Act structure for its storylines where characters are tested and overcome whatever they face throughout the season.
To break it down:
Act 1: Get your characters up a tree
Act 2: Throws rocks at them
Act 3: Get your characters out of the tree
Even with the structure broken out, there is no story without a hook.
