We love you and all you do for the varchie fandom ❤️

aw this is the sweetest message, thank you nonnie 💖 I love you guys too.

You have ruined me for other fic writers 😩

i'm so sorry! lol but i appreciate the compliment.

but you know, there are some (unfortunately inactive) great varchie writers out there... @tuesdayschildd, @monicaposh, @theeternalblue and @alwaysspeakshermind. if you guys read their stuff i'm sure it will be an amazing experience.

and never forget the queens of writing good fic no matter the fandom or ship, @heartunsettledsoul, @sullypants, @imreallyloveleee and @stonerbughead... even if they're in a bit of a hiatus, if you like bughead you should definitely check them out!

[askandsmile]

Have you seen that Slowburns is back posting again 😅

seen some stuff about it but i myself never check that account for the sake of my own peace hdhshds

top 10 varchie songs

that's a hard one because varchie contains multitudes but the ones that always make me think of them in no particular order:

the night we met - lord huron (i can write a whole essay on that)

13 beaches - lana del rey (it hurts to love you!! but i still love you!! it's just the way i feel!!)

empires - niki and the dove (it's a very important song #tome)

say you won't let go - james arthur (then you smiled over your shoulderrr and the 1x05 moment)

your soul - rhodes (is it falling apart?? i just wanna hold your hand! i'm holding on and on and on and on)

i try - macy gray (that's a classic... i believe that fate has brought us here x a date with destiny)

fade into you - mazzy star (actually a canon choice)

make this go on forever - snow patrol (oh archie's pov...)

varchie's themes 'not a killer' and 'angry and vulnerable girls' - blake neely (because when they played you knew shit was serious)

cardigan - taylor swift (the obligatory tswift one BUT she actually did haunt all of his what ifs when she died for him and went to his sweet hereafter to rip him off the picket fence idealized life he projected wanting to be his father, there's layers)

i can tell you another 100 songs so just ask!

this "varchie ended up in california" agenda is pathetic because they didn't even get a 1x1 emotional scene in the finale... flop

it's even more pathetic my dear that you're here on your own account to tell me that after the show is over and it ended with the confirmation that despite what betty hallucinated/imagined archie saying, that ship never saw each other again after high school :| and that the emotional scene they got, which wasn't even real, was only there so y'all could learn that archie lived in the same state as veronica for the rest of his life, which leaves room for interpretation.

i'm sorry it happened like that for you. but hey, you can stay in your 'betty had dementia and forgot being married to archie and living in modesto even though she didn't forget adopting a child and raising her by herself and running a magazine in new york' bubble! and that's okay! more power for you! peace <3

Alzheimers has other symptoms as well - including hallucinations. So if Betty Sid have it, that would put the ENTIRE finale into question. I highly doubt RAS wanted us to question the whole thing, only a few bits and pieces.

trust that i know very well from personal experience what alzheimers entails. and yes, like you said, he wanted to give people stuff to theorize and think about, and that's why their theory is as valid as ours, but it's not "more rooted on canon" like they say dhshd.

the entire finale was in betty's "imagination/hallucination" though, or her limbo, or whatever, and that day didn't happen irl the way it was presented to us. and it's interesting that talk between ba was there only to tell us that they didn't end up together actually, while simultaneously giving them an emotional moment (that b had with everyone). she could have dementia but she also says the memories are coming back to her more and more as jug walks through. that's how she remembered where v was buried and archie's life. trust that they don't show glimpses of archie because they didn't want anyone to know Who is the wife.

but! that being said, idc about their theory. good for them. i have mine that i fully believe in (and it's varchie in california, bh "special friends") and that's fine by me lol.

[askandsmile]

what's your take on the betty has alzheimer theory that "proves" ba endgame?

lmao idgaf. let them believe it.

but if you were to think about it, why wasn't archie the one guiding her through those memories, then? why didn't you get his pov so we knew? why would ras go out of his way to give them an imaginary goodbye and send BH and VA to live in the same state, giving them open ending hints, if...? why didn't jug say something? ppl with alzheimers forget stuff, they don't make new stuff up, so why would she make up an entire life instead? anywayyy many questions.

i mean, i don't mean to disprove their theory, it's as valid as anyone else's. they want to believe that? cool. but you do have to bend canon backwards for it.

which fine by me?? the show is over, varchie were endgame in california TO ME, the hints are all there, and bas can think whatever the f they want 😭

[askandsmile]

do you really believe the varchie x California endgame agenda?

100%

[askandsmile]

I myself have seen how far that fandom is reaching to try to convince themselves ba was endgame - it’s scary out there friends 😬

like I said, let them be.

#lmao all credits to fyeahvarchie #im so sorry kj you did so good on this scene but the meme is stronger than us

[askandsmile]

I'm old enough (lol) to remember shipping wars dating back to Spuffy vs Bangel when there used to be proper detailed and thoughtful arguments....now it's all "WE WON BECAUSE I WROTE IN CAPS" hahahaha 🫠

My point being well done on your thoughtful answers lol

lol to be fair, buffy was definitely a better written show.

but thank you! lol @ this fandom though. the most recent one i've seen is that you can't theorize unless you get canon evidence to back it up lmaooo imagine telling someone what they can't or can do AFTER the show is over 😭

[askandsmile]

would you ever become a barchie? if you rewatch riverdale knowing how it ends etc?

[askandsmile]

Twitter is a mess hahaha. Half of the BA stans are claiming they got a secret endgame whilst the other ones are plotting death on the writers. The Cho*ni stans are gatekeeping endgames and anyone who claims they also got one..... and then the BHVA fans are either loving the BA downfall or posting edits 🤣

everyone in their bubbles as it should be 😌

i do understand the urge of looking what the other side might be saying to get a good laugh, but ultimately, i say let them reach to the moon to bend canon backwards now and try to find a way to be a secret endgame or whatever. everyone can think whatever they want now. the show is over.

i hope the very creative bh fandom goes back to writing (miss some of my faves writing for rvd)

and i hope anyone but me and cyn create content for varchie again lmao 😂

[askandsmile]

we can’t really say varchie will be endgame bc at the same time if this is an au they’re both endgames

🤔 this isn't an au? tabitha merged the timelines so there's only one version.

and ba was not endgame in it.

and with that information + ending up in california + i surely can say varchie was, if i want.

[askandsmile]

The fuck did I just read? 😂😂 these people need therapy. Oh boy

ras wanted people to talk about this ending and fight over who the core4 ended up with forever. and while that side of the fandom might stay making threads and arguing for the rest of their lives, they'll never convince me 😌

[askandsmile]

I'm sorry Ras did what now? LMAO

You didn't hear? They've got whole threads on how Barchie was actually endgame, with "evidence," but Roberto did it secretly cuz he was afraid of pissing off Varchies and Bugheads.

jsjsjsjsjsjsjdd no I didn't, because as soon as that show ended I promised myself I'd never care about those shippers again but shhshdsd

It must be very hard to be a ba in times like these.

[askandsmile]

LOL, I love how some Barchies are whining about how Roberto hates them, and other Barchies claim Roberto wrote a secret BA endgame just for them. 🤣

I'm sorry Ras did what now? LMAO
