Veronica is apparently obsessed with Truman Capote as a high school sophomore

Intertextuality is the cornerstone of art and civilization

"Mom I'm not Polly" maybe you should be poly

b

because you're

in an eternal love triangle

"Did you tap some cougar ass" absolutely hellish phrase thank you for drawing attention to the fact that it's just a bad set of words @Paradox

Ok Veronica is Carlos With The Perfect Teeth to Riverdale's Night Vale

oh my god Josie and the Pussycats are here????

The absurdity of this show is so clearly intentional and I'm really upset that people have been framing it as if the show runners dont' know what they're doing in that regard

Ok you cannot tell me that the Blossom twins were not fucking. in the first 45 seconds they gave each other bedroom eyes and just now she called him her soulmate. I assume she didn't murder him because that's too obvious but like

I see, Archie and the hot teacher with heart shaped sunglasses fucked and we're just firing that bullet before the title card

ok eternal recurrence or something Archie's dad and Veronica's Mom were also involved in a love triangle where Veronica's Mom chose the rich kid over the hardworking kid --------

Ok so

You know how Riverdale is explicitly the kind of prime time soap opera where the premise is "We're a normal town but then a murder exposes all our dark secrets"?

Riverdale, the show, is that town.

The show Riverdale is spending season 1 establishing that this is a Normal Show. But there is so much signaling that "no you're wrong this is not a Normal Show"

unlike my other readings this one is insincere and only funny:

Cheryl is Homura to Riverdale's Madoka Rebellion

ok sure at minute 20 Betty and Veronica have a very good kiss and textually it's a like. Performance. But 20 minutes in.

this show is blowing sooooo fucking many of its loads in the very first episode.

Yes please give me every main character's entire character arc in episode one so that we can get to the good shit

ARCHIEKINS??????

Luke Perry please stop whispering

Ok so like seriously in episode 1 every character is either standing up to their oppressor or refusing the destiny that has been given to them and like.

@SophiaSurname god i like. you're reacting like this to season 1

you have no idea what's to come

season 1 is so intensely normal

@junebug oh i am aware of what's to come, The War of season 5 is why i'm watching

@junebug this show so transparently knows exactly what it's doing and i'm very surprised that people act like that's not the case
