Okay, Roberto.
Do your worst. Image
Me talking about any minor inconvenience ever Image
This is a horror comic so if that's not your jam, you may wanna bounce and mute this thread. πŸ‘πŸ•Ί
I too would destroy the world for Hotdog. Comics Jughead continues to be a relatable king. ImageImage
Sometimes dead is better ~ Image
Bro this is so sad 😞 Image
Oh hey, Swedlow Swamp is where they were looking for Polly in 5A! Image
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. ImageImage
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... Image
Aw man...bye, Juggie. ImageImage
Jarchie rises! Image
Not Waldo!!! Image
Jughead must smell so bad ImageImage
Literally everyone in Riverdale epsiode 4x15 lol Image
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! Image
Funny that Roberto brings this up here, too! Image
Even in his darkest works, Roberto enjoys having Betty act as a moral compass for the other characters. ImageImage
Veronica, I think you should reevaluate those priorities... ImageImage
Veronica: Ugh, my BFF Betty is so annoying...
Also Veronica: GET AWAY FROM MY ANNOYING BFF BETTY ImageImage
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. ImageImage
Not Fox Forrest! Image
*extreme KJ Apa voice* It was for Betty Image
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. Image
This is the worst game of Guess Who ever Image
Dang, Fred and Mary are def donezo. Image
Betty, babe, priorities, please. ImageImage
I guess Midge and/or Moose is infected cause Roberto killed Midge off in S2.
Called it!!! ImageImage
NOT VEGAS!

ROBERTO, STOP KILLING ARCHIE'S DOG!!! Image
Me every time I ask my partner to watch Riverdale with me Image
FUCK YOU, ROBERTO πŸ˜­πŸ–• Image
NOOOOOO BOTH OF ARCHIE'S BEST FRIENDS ARE DEAD, I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT Image
Does this dog....talk now?

Roberto, you're a weird dude, man. ImageImage
JESUS CHRIST?! Image
Well, this was a lot...um...

So, Fred's dead. Image
Oh wow!

Did not think we'd be 2-for-2 on the Barchie train, but thanks Roberto? ImageImage
Roberto even has the Barchie window in here and Betty keeping a diary where she writes about meeting Archie! ImageImage
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. ImageImageImage
Archie being there for Betty after losing her parents and Polly - BASS BOOSTED!! Image
LACY'S IS A THING IN THE COMICS? SHUT UP! Image
Barcheating in every universe ✊ ImageImage
What the hell did Polly Cooper do to Roberto to make him hate her so much?? ImageImageImage
Lol Roberto is doing way too much rn Image
I just....yeah okay sure, Cheryl. I mean Blaze.

Whatever. ImageImage
Roberto is like, "Jason will die in every reality!" Image
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? πŸ˜” Image
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? Image
Yeah dude, this is all kinda your fault?? Image
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. Image
CW Riverdale 2017 - Image
Archie proposes to Betty and she tells him to wait until they're 18 just like in the show...πŸ₯Ί ImageImageImage
Archie is rapidly running out of friends! This is going to be the smallest wedding ever. Image
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 πŸ₯Ί Image

Had a rough day at work, so I'm chilling with the Archie Marries Betty book. I've had this in my comxiology list for months!
These books are borderline incomprehensible, so everything just feels like a fever dream.
I love everything about this except Betty wearing her shoes on the sofa.

You live in New York City, get those disgusting shoes off, Mrs. Andrews!

Huh...yeah, I guess Cora (that blonde woman Jug slept with in New York) coming back to Riverdale to tell him she's pregnant would be a crazy cliffhanger. It would also throw a wrench in whatever relationship he has and she matches the 🀰🏼 emoji. I think the bhs may have a point!
If Jughead does deal with his writer's block and his article appears in the New Yorker (or wtv the Rivedale version) that Cora woman could see it since she's a writer too. And just when Jughead thinks his life is settled this one night stand comes into Pops and blows his life up.
While the Betty pregnant cliff hanger would be crazy and blow up the Archie/Betty/Veronica triangle in a soapy way, this also tracks since Jughead needs something next season to deal with and it would definitely be a struggle since he's broke and doesn't really know this woman.

Riverdale Season 5’s Thematic Question & The Three Act Structure (a thread)
Since Riverdale S5 started a bit differently due to COVID, including three episodes that were supposed to be in S4 and extra-long hiatus, I wanted to take a moment to talk about story structure, this season’s thematic question, and how it’s playing out so far.
For the first time since S1, Riverdale finds itself with a smaller story ("Riverdale is in trouble!") lasting for a shorter number of episodes (16 vs. 22).

Riverdale loves to do things big, but it's at its best when its seasons are short and focused.

Wow, this Reggie/Hiram/Mr. Mantle relationship is exactly what I was hoping they would explore and now they're doing it? Woah...
I'm shaking. Holy shit - Riverdale, baby, I didn't know you still had it in you!
Cami is so good when they let her speak sentences and not in baby talk. Hermione! <3

Going by the outfits in these stills and what the episode is about, 5x14 is going to be where we get Chainsaw Betty aka "The Darkest Thing She's Ever Had To Face"
Alice's outfit matches this scene from the 5B trailer
"The Night Gallery" lines up with the Jughead "Ratking" painting, Betty "Chainaw" painting, and something related to Archie during his time in the military. Cheryl and Minerva (her art dealer girlfriend) will probably hold a gallery to sell these as the Blossom Estate is broke af
