BAs are the epitome of performative activism like – it’s hilarious. The countless of times I’ve seen them using Choni to hate on BH in disguise of them pretending to care about Choni getting screen time or not. BAs would trade Choni having scenes together if it means more boring BA sex scenes. The campaign and fake stanning of Jabitha as if they care about a woman of color being disrespected when they’ve been there already with Veronica, a woman they trash and downgrade 24/7 for BA – the most flavorless white couple in existence.

"The writers won’t spill up a couple with a POC for BH" - you mean like it has happened with Jughead/Toni, Archie/Josie, Jughead/Jessie (who was Asian). When I tell you some people view characters of color a performative statement and not as real characters…

Like I know BAs are crying their eyes out because BA so far has been a couple going through the motions of a relationship without passion or active commitment. Moving together isn’t even a natural progress in a relationship but a need because Alice is evil. It’s been like a checklist, nothing has been organic or a mutual decision. They’re still praying for that baby when the current story line is going to different directions now. The timeline they’ve created is ruined. Now they count on misleading BTS pics, the actors personal schedule and Evan (who’s been wrong 2652635 of the time). The boat will be their porch scene and flower shop scene – never happened or if it is, it won’t be what they expected it will.

It’s very obvious Betty sleeping with Drake is probably going to be a thing because Riverdale is not very subtle on the plots and remember what Lili said about wanting Betty to be confirmed bisexual before the series ends. I highly doubt it will be a permanent thing but a fling because I think there’s something suspicious about her (and again Riverdale isn’t exactly subtle) but regardless, I will enjoy it while it lasts and if it means crashing BA to the ground, we support! I know BAs are hiding that insecurity with performative speeches.

I see that, and I raise you ✨ J*bitha shippers ✨ .

They had a whole checklist didn't they? Porch scene, I love you, marriage, baby, etc. Has any of that happened? Nope. They've been actually shockingly clear about what they think of both BA and JT, and it's...not good. But still, these shippers live on making ever more desperate "theories" and trying to convince themselves that this time is different.

You can't say you're clowned if the show repeatedly tells you what it's about.

Also yeah, the performative activism of this fandom is a thing. I know, I have messages in my inbox confirming people are thinking the same thing, they're just too scared to say it.

But I'm not. The acting last night was....rough. Real rough. I would say, and have said, the literal exact same thing of a white character.

Oh last thing, I don't even think Agent Drake is in the next episode so much as I would like Betty to have a bi fling, I doubt it.

My Girl

pairing: Mj x Fem!Reader

a/n: sooo finally part 2 is here! I'm so happy that you guys liked part 1 so much, really motivated and made me happy 💞💞 also, never thought about it, but if you want to be added to my taglist, send me an ask and i'll add you!

part 1

summary: you finally get to tell her how you feel

words: 2.6k

warnings: none

my masterlist

→ → → → → → → →

Two weeks after telling Peter, he has tried everything to make you do the first move. Starting conversations with Mj out of nowhere and trying to include you in, asking her about her favorite things- which he actually already knew about, but you'd do anything for your friend, right? You seem to get pretty comfortable with your feelings towards her, since Peter made you spend a lot of time with her and the others after he noticed you not speaking that much again.

You didn’t want to admit it, but you had a whole crush on Mj. Even after talking to Peter, it was still difficult to admit yourself that you liked girls. You still haven’t told Steve, your dad, and don’t plan on doing so anytime soon. For now, your plan was to find out if Mj felt the same way towards you, or if she even liked girls in the first place. You had asked Peter if he ever talked with her about feelings, but apparently she tries to avoid that topic as much as possible and it doesn’t help your crisis either.

You’re sitting on your lunch table with Ned, Peter, Mj and Betty. Betty is sitting next to you and Ned on the other side, whilst Mj sits across from you. You try your best to keep your head down and not accidentally look up and make eye contact with her, even though she’s probably too focused on reading her book and holding her sandwich with the other hand.

Your mind wanders as you decide to risk it and look at her, until Ned wakes you up from your daydreaming.

��Guys! Look!” He shoves his phone into your face and smiles brightly. There is a website opened for a new movie coming out in three days, it’s called “Call me by your name” and the cover is of Timothee Chalamet.

“Wait- I’ve been waiting for that movie to come out for MONTHS,” Betty groans as she sits back after having to stand up, to see the screen better. You return your gaze to Mj and catch her staring at you. A shy smile is plastered on her face and she nods towards you. Your gaze instantly goes back to your meal and you mentally slap your face for being so awkward. At least she can’t see your blushing face, you think.

Two hours later, after maths class, you’re sitting with Ned in physics. Usually you’d sit with Betty, but she decided to sit alone for today. You were copying notes from the board, when Ned suddenly nudges your arm with his elbow. You look up and turn your head to him.

“Mh?” Continuing to write down what your teacher’s writing on the board, you wait for his answer. But he only smiles at you.

“A bird told me you liked our best friend,” he whispers and lowers his gaze again. You stop taking notes and slowly look up, turning your whole body around to come face to face with Peter, who’s sitting behind you.

“Hey,” he smiles and waves before taking a pen and starting to write down the notes, too.

“Dumbass,” you mutter under your breath and turn around to Ned with a forced smile.

“Who told you that? I don’t like anyone.” Your eyes are back on the board, trying to seem as unbothered as possible. Ned chuckled as he returned his gaze back to the paper, not before he let out a useless comment.

"Y'know, I thought you and Mj would confess faster. Guess I was wrong," he shrugged. Your head instantly snaps up and your eyes widen.

“Bro, shut the fuck up! She could’ve heard you!” Turning around in your seat to look at her, you find her head buried in her physics book and your eyes soften at the sight. You feel your heartbeat against your chest rapidly and hope no one catches you staring. But before you could even realize, Mj looks up and waves at you with an unsure smile. Your hand shots up to wave back softly, smiling and letting out a sigh as you turn back.

Finding out if she likes you or not will be harder than you thought.

An hour later, you are sitting with Ned and Peter in your room, explaining to them your feelings.

“Yeah, and when she waved at me I just...completely blocked everything out? I don’t know, man, she’s so freaking pretty,” you whine and throw yourself back on your bed. Both boys sitting in front of you give each other a look before turning back to you.

“Look, I’ve never really been in lo-”

“Peter, not only two days ago you were crying ov-”

“As I said,” he gives Ned a pointed look and clenches his jaw,” I’ve never really been in love, but I’m entirely sure that you definitely are. I mean, just by the way you admire her from afar and when you two talk?” You sigh and smile at him, silently thanking him for being there for you when you need him.

“I don’t know, ‘s just she’s a girl and I’ve never had a crush on a g-”

“You have a crush on a girl?” You jump back from your place and stare at your open door, Natasha and Steve standing there. Steve looks at you with a shocked look and Nat looks rather unsurprised.

“I- I’m no- Why did you two came in without knocking? I could’ve been changing or something?” You try and change the topic, silently praying that your dad will drop the topic. You were not going to explain to your dad how you found out you had a crush and on top of that- on a girl. He already seemed shocked…

“The door was already open and we could hear you talk with Peter and Ne- No! You will not change the topic, young lady! I asked you a question.” he demands from you. You exhale and take a look at your two friends, who are already looking at you and nodding to your dad.

“Uhm, you see...I,” you squint your eyes, “like girls...too” You let out a breath and let your eyes closed, not wanting to see your dad’s reaction. You would’ve told him when you were ready. And now, now was not really the time, because you were still trying to figure everything out. But since he walked in anyways, maybe now was a good timing.

A silence fills the room and you dare to open your eyes, but cast them on the wall behind your dad and hope he won’t be disappointed or mad. To your surprise, he’s neither of those things.

“Really? How did you find out?” Nat takes a seat on your bean bag and smiles at you. You frown and smile when you realize she is trying to not make this situation uncomfortable.

“Uhm, well...there’s this girl I thought I only found pretty, turns out she’s...more?” You explain and let out a squeak as she hugs you.

“Is it Mj? I heard you talking to her the other day and went past your room, you were looking really...dreamy at her.” She wiggles her eyebrows and you feel your face getting warm. Deciding to ignore her comment, your gaze is cast back to your dad still standing in shock.

You are about to say something, when he breaks the silence.

“You’re…,” He looks at Nat for help and she just shrugs, not knowing what label you’re comfortable with.

“Bi? I mean, I think that’s what I am.” You smile and shrug. Until now, he’s very chill. The bad gut feeling you had slowly disappearing as you see his face softening and he sighs. Peter and Ned slowly get up as they try not to ruin the moment, but instantly fail.

“We- we just wanted to wait outside because this feels like an intimate moment between you two,” Ned shows to the door and nods. When you smile at him, he’s sure you’re thankful and mouths “good luck”.

“So, girls?” Steve plants himself on your other side. You nod and lower your head. He didn’t say anything wrong and you’re sure he won’t do something, Steve isn’t like that. But it still feels weird to have to talk to him about this, you didn’t even prepare yourself and this was also so new to him.

“Look, I know you love me and I know you care. But if this changes how you view me, then I’ll not take it as something good. I’m still trying to figure this all out and don’t even know what I want to label myself and if I even want to. But you're my dad, so I think you should have to know about this. So, now the question that’s been on my mind; you don’t hate me, right?”

Finally taking a deep breath and feeling your eyes fill with tears, you dare to look up and take a look at your dad. He sits there, completely in shock and awe. By the shaking of your hands and shuddered breaths he knows this is taking a toll on you and you’re not 100% comfortable in the situation. You tried your best to stop yourself from shaking, but failed as Steve took your hands in his and smiled at you. 7

“Ok, that was a lot to unpack at once. And I’m really glad and proud of you for talking to me about this and telling me,” he says. Nat’s still sitting on your bean bag and nods at Steve, signaling he’s doing everything right.

“And I’m also happy that you got friends that understand and respect you. Back to when I was a kid, it would’ve been completely different. I remember this guy who got caught kissing another guy and his dad freaked out and asked me where he was. II, of course, decided to lie but almost got an asthma attack when I saw the g-”

“Ok, ok. I don’t think I want to know about that, it’s not really helping me.” You quickly interrupted him as you thought about what he could’ve said next.

“Right, right, sorry. So uh, what I actually wanted to say is that I’m happy you have friends and a family that respects and accepts you, and I’m happy you got the courage to tell me,” he pauses and nods to Nat, “us, about this.” You quietly thank him with a smile and hug.

“Aww, that’s so cute. Now that you finally confirmed you like girls. Was I right? It 's Mj, right?” Nat encourages and starts a new conversation. You giggle and shrug.

“I don’t know who you’re talking about, Nat,” you trail off and look around the room. Both adults chuckle.

A week later, you’re sitting with Mj, Peter and Ned on the rooftop of Peter’s apartment. He invited you three to come and hang out. Peter excuses himself before leaving to get food.

Ned is silently looking up at the stars as you shift closer to the edge of the building, leaning your head down to look at the small cars and people.

“Woah, don’t do that. You’ll fall.” Mj shifts closer to you, your knees touching. You smile at her.

“To be honest, it kinda does look peaceful to just lay back and fall,” you acknowledge. You’ve seen it a million times in movies, shows. It looks peaceful. If only death wasn’t the result of it.

“Well, just...try not to. I don’t want you gone, forever,” the girl next to you whispers.

Your cheeks heat up, your eyes avoiding hers and looking anywhere but left to you. You feel her gaze on you, which doesn’t make it any better and you silently pray for Peter to come back, so you could have an excuse to busy yourself with something.

“Uhm...how was your maths test? The one we had last week.” Mj tries to sparkle a conversation between you two. A huff leaves your lips as you turn to her.

“I still didn't look at my grade. Thought it’d be better if I did it when I’m not stressed, y’know?”

She nods and averts her gaze from you. You can feel the awkward tension between you guys, but decide to not do anything. That is, until she speaks up again.

“Are you- are you mad at me? You spent so little time with us every time I was the-”

“No! No, I’m not mad. I just...have a lot on my mind lately,” you explain and fiddle with your fingers. Never did you plan actually talking to her tonight. The boys told you it’d be a normal movie night and when you found out she’d be there too, you thought you could get away before she even came up to you.

“What is it?” Her brown eyes stare back at you and you have the feeling she could look into your soul, as if she already knew the answer.

Thinking about how you would tell your best friend you like her made you even more nervous for tonight. And the worst part; you didn’t know if she liked girls in that way. This made your nerves go through the roof, but also in a good way. Knowing that maybe she had the same feelings towards you made your heart flutter and cheeks heat up.

“I...like this view” You change the subject and point to the busy city below you, tensing when you feel her move even closer to you and leaning back.

“Are you sure nothing’s wrong? Because you don’t really look...relaxed.” By now you know you’ve made a mistake changing the subject so fast. You could’ve lied, told her you had a rough week. Told her it was exams, anything.

“I actually wanted to tell you something today. I need you to promise you wo-”

“I like girls. That 's it. I wanted to tell you for days now but never got to do it. And I know this is really rushed and I never planned it on saying it like this. I actually wanted to tell you later but now you noticed I’m nervous and-” Your rant gets cut off when you feel a pair of soft lips pressing on yours.

The second it drawns down on you that Mj just kissed you, you pull away instantly. Looking at her through wide eyes, you ask. “Wait, you like girls, too?”

“I- yes? You don’t?” A panic sets through her as she moves back and you try to understand what happened.

“What? No! I mean, yes! I like girls, too.” You sit closer to her and take her face into your hands, one hand on either side of her face. She looks at you through shining eyes and a wide smile.

“Can we kiss again? I swear I’ve never felt this euphoric-” This time, you’re the one who cuts her off by kissing her and letting your lips move against hers, pulling her closer by her neck. You pull back after seconds of kissing to get some air to breath.

“Woah, that was-” “Perfect.” You smile at her and watch her smile grow wide, if that was even possible.

Mj scoots closer to you and lets out a sigh.

“I was really scared to tell you. Saw you spent a lot of time with Peter and thought you liked him,” she explains, her smiles falling.

“I could never. I mean, he’s a great friend. But now I’m just happy I kissed you. But there’s one thing left.”

“And that is?”

“Will you be my girl?” You ask, intervening your fingers with hers and playing your hands on your lap. She just smirks as an answer and pulls you in for a kiss.
