yeah yeah riverdale has witches and time travel now, but remember season three? here are some things that happened on it
betty sees her two baby nephews float over a bonfire and starts convulsing.
archie gets sent to prison, fights in a clandestine boxing ring for rich people to enjoy, escapes to canada and gets mauled by a bear, which starts his emo arc.
everyone gets into a dnd knock off called griffins and gargoyles, and when you get to the end of it, you "ascend" (die).
ethel muggs gets so brainwashed by the game she gets sent to a convent that also worships the gargoyle king and she ships herself with him (and jughead (in which she tells betty they're going to be a ship)).
all girls in town experience seizures when talking about the gargoyle king. this is later explained to be due to the city's water being contaminated.
penny peabody (actual name) who in last season betrayed the serpents and got her tattoo removed with a knife, comes back to try and kill archie, but jughead's 11 year old sister shoots her with a slingshot.
they do heathers the musical for some reason and veronica DOESN'T play veronica, she plays heather mcnamara. also jughead doesn't play anyone on the musical but he sings with everyone else in the last song.
kevin keller, this show's kurt glee, joins a cult because he wants to hook up with cute guys and gets his kidney stolen.
toni and cheryl get kicked out of the serpents so cheryl gives toni her own sapphic archer gang.
cheryl's cunty mom kills betty's serial killer dad in front of her and nothing comes out of it.
veronica, who hates her dad and wants her mom to leave his ass, gets extremely distraught when they're about to get a divorce.
also she manages a diner.
and a secret bar underneath it.
evelyn evernever, who introduced herself as edgar evernever's daughter, him being the leader of a cult; is actually a 30-something woman who has a condition that keeps her looking like a teenager and steals people's organs to keep herself healthy.
also edgar isn't his father, he's his husband
betty tries to prevent her mother to sell their house by burning it. the house ends up fine but still wtf
the cliffhanger of this season had archie, betty and veronica burning their clothes and jughead's beanie, and it's implied they killed him. this actually wasn't planned, as cole sprouse didn't want to film a scene half naked in the middle of a cold forest at 3 am so the writers improvised.
they had no plans for this cliffhanger btw, they intended to write it on the go for next season.

with riverdale wrapping today i just wanna say even though it was a dumpster fire near the end i appreciate the earlier seasons a lot, they really kept me sane during a time when i didn't feel like it. and im like genuinely feeling so sad that it's ending, i don't even watch it anymore and im still like 'noo im going to miss this show 🥺' as if i even know why betty and veronica are dancing around in bubbles or whatever.
im going to miss seeing the randomest bts on the cast's instagram and wondering what in the world was happening this time, I'll miss the characters and mourn what they used to be, I'll remember the frankly insane lines to come out of this show (in case you haven't noticed, im weird, im a weirdo, i dont fit in and i don't wanna fit it, have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on?) and will be quoting archie everytime i get a hate anon (they're only hating cuz they haven't experienced the high's and low's of high school football)
i met some of the loveliest ppl through this show and I'm so grateful for each and every person <33 and as the town of riverdale goes to sleep for the last time i hope we can all remember what we loved abt it in the first place ✌️

jabitha romantic psychological thriller. opens with the two of them on the road, driving from town to town chasing mysteries. she drives, he writes. she keeps hitting birds. they're making a map of diners in the area based on how good their milkshakes are. archie's pissed & won't call them. jughead keeps repeating himself. new greasy spoon but the waitress already knows them. blood on the tires. they call & no one picks up. he swears they've been here before. he's better at sign than he used to be. his hands know the movements. there's a star in the sky and they're back on the road. they've been here before. she says she'll handle the birds, just stay in the car, head in your hands. she drags rafael's newest body off the road. they've been here before because they can't leave: they can have a lifetime together in a timeloop, but if he remembers they'll have to go back home. so he can't figure it out. riverdale loses a second for their every hour. rafael's got wings of a bird & a deadline to meet & a comet looming closer, closer. no one notices they're gone so long as they keep on driving. a day infinitum. a lifetime together. so long as she keeps resetting & pressing her foot to the pedal. so long as he never remembers.

trying to figure out like who all in riverdale read homestuck. like besides jughead (obviously). ethel was peripherally involved in the tumblr fandom back in the day like she was not a big name fan but by god she was there. she shipped nepkat as a tween & personally i think calliope was a big moment for her ... cheryl deeply empathized with rose for gothic mansion strained parent-child relationship reasons and was on those forums defending vriska's honor like it was life or death. what do you think the spider brooch was meant to represent. toni. hiram. definitely donna but she will deny everything. i dont fucking know ... mr honey. send post

Love how as gen z we collectively made the silent decision to never talk about Riverdale again, I'll never forget/forgive the cringe that was "It's Sherriff Jones now, boy!" 😉
