Hi! Looking for a fic where Betty gets pregnant. Her and Jellybean get kidnapped by the ghoulies and the serpents go save them. I remember Betty and Jughead both going to NYU and them living in an old van. I think their kid was named Elizabeth. Sorry this is so little to go on.
Hrm. There are a few fics that sound a little like your ask - but then the van threw me off. I'm going to turn this one over to the group. I'm sure someone knows which fic you've lost. Anyone?
---
Thank you @dayenurose @buggheadie @flomago and @lilireinhart-bughead who found this story for you and let me know! Enjoy!! 
Tapes of Us by @crazymisscarly (24/25 - T)
Summary: Betty and Jughead are hiding a secret, but the rest of Riverdale is talking about them for a very different reason...
Jughead is accused of creating child pornography after his sex tape with Betty is released. Meanwhile, Betty is trying to cover up her teen pregnancy, and the Jones-Cooper-Smith family are trying to hold themselves together.
And still the Voyeur of Riverdale is lurking in the shadows... waiting to make their next move...
But while the fallout of news of their upcoming parenthood may be a lot to process, Betty and Jughead are fast discovering that dealing with it is going to have to wait.
Because, it seems, someone is watching them around every corner... and the whole town of Riverdale is about to be challenged in ways that may leave it in ruins.

Do you think Aziraphale is the literal origin of the damsel in distress trope or did he get the idea from reading books

I just remembered the It's me that shows up at one point on a mirror and while it could be a ghost... I genuinely think the implication is supposed to be that William was in the pizzeria the entire time and knew that Mike was sleeping on the job and knew he took his brother and was taunting him

The usual story:
Magic companion: Let's go on an adventure kid!
Kid protagonist: Heck yeah!
The magic world: *whimsy and fun*
The Boy and the Heron:
demonic stinky Grey Heron: I'm here to take you on an adventure, and possibly tear out and eat your heart if I feel like it
Mahito, home-making his own bow and arrow: Leave me the fuck alone I'll kill you monster
The world in the tower: *whimsically mysterious and also fucked up and lowkey Cosmic Horror*

nothing hits quite like "I despised the very air you breathed until I was confronted with your humanity, complete vulnerability & it somehow touched my own, & oh, fuck- there's a permanent you-shaped crack in my heart now & the hands that wanted to throttle you are moving to protect you, all on their own."

How to see the gun was unloaded
Tumblr media
Since I love him a ridiculous amount already and want to emphasize he is an idiot asshole but not totally off the rails — if you start watching at 1:45, Kang puts the magazine in. You can see in the screenshot above how the ‘barrel’ (I don’t know what any of these things are called and do not want to learn so putting all my terms that are definitely not real in quotes) is more exposed — the ‘gun slider thing’ is pulled back and it is ready to fire.
Then, after an audible click, this is what the gun looks like - Kang has done a test fire to confirm that there are no bullets. See how the ‘barrel’ is now covered.
Tumblr media
And he repeats this a SECOND time just to be absolutely certain.
This is really important to me because it means this boy:
Tumblr media
he KNOWS he can’t shoot them — he is bluffing his ass off here. If those two men do “try him” he is just as screwed as Sailom.
And he stays anyway.

ok absolutely going insane about Saria so I'm going to ramble about how I imagine how she'd be in bed because you see. sex is character development.
I joke a lot on "Saria is a bottom" but in all honesty, I don't like forced roles and I think she can handle both very well. HOWEVER
at the start of the relationship, she would be topping. not just because she wants to, but because she feels like she needs to. a huge part of Saria's character is that she's pushing expectations on herself, constantly. and those expectations are that she must be the one to protect what is dear to her, that she must be strong, that she must show responsibility, that she must not let her emotions be a bias... basically who she was when she started at Rhine Lab. Rhine's Shield. a woman of diamond. being a top means that you're having power on the person you're topping. you're in control. Saria feels like she needs to do this role, because she has to please her partner and meet expectations. basically? she's being a service top.
and this is conflicted with her fear to disappoint. she's forcing a role upon herself, but she's constantly scared that she will fail. that she might hurt the other person, or not be good enough, or just not meet what they want. it's a constant obsession and because of this, she can't enjoy this position.
BUT, she loves bottoming. it may be a bit humiliating at first, but then she realizes she just loves to lay down, let herself be entirely in the hands of her partner, and enjoy herself. she doesn't have to be scared, there's no fear to have, and she perfect trusts that the other person would not hurt her, and whatever they may do, she loves it, she loves to receive, she loves her partner so so much and doesn't hold expectations for them.
and by god, she loves being pegged down, she loves feeling it, because she can just let everything out. she can scream, claw the sheets, let herself go as much as she can. all these emotions inside her can be unpacked at this moment and she doesn't have to be worried about consequences.
but I think that it doesn't mean she would never top, or that she could never. it's a whole learning, she will have to trust herself, to trust her partner, and most of all, she will have to learn to do it not because she needs to, but because she wants to. Saria loves to give, she loves her partner so much, she wants to give it to them, have them relax as she please them, and that's purely because she loves them. so when she's ready, when she managed to get rid of her own expectations, when she trusts herself and her strength, she would be ready.
I don't think it's a good thing to tell Saria "it's ok if you hurt me", because that means you're telling her that she can hurt you, and likely would, and that you would just not say it to not hurt her. that's bad, that'd feed her obsession. rather, it would be better to tell her "it's fine if you're not ready, we can wait until you are". she doesn't have the only option to be topping, it can always come later. be easy on her, and she'll be easy on herself

dangerous romance is fun because its completely character driven and none of the characters know if they want to be in a romcom or a drama

I'm looking for a fic i remember reading- it was around season two, and in it betty run away after the black hood made her cut ties with veronica and jug. The fic started with them getting calls from her saying the black hood found her. Thanks!🥰
Hrm. I've done some rudimentary searches and I can't say I've found this one - so I'm going to turn it over to the group. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Please let me know and I'll edit the post!
@greigkat thinks it is this one - please let us know if they’re right, @blackrose3262-blog. Thanks! <3
As I Disappear (blink twice) by @screamingintosilence (2/?)
Summary: What if after "When a Stranger Calls" Betty disappeared? She thought she was saving everyone she left behind, including herself. But there was a secret she didn't even know she had when she left, and after a slip-up the Black Hood has found her. So she makes three final calls, three desperate attempts for her former best friends and boyfriend to help her. She doesn't have long to live...Everything after 2x05 never happened. Runaway/kidnap AU (I guess)

This Week in BL - New & Old Tropes Galore
Entirely subjective yadda yadda. Organized sorta by favs in each category.
Sept 2023 Wk 4
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
I Feel You Linger in the Air (Fri grey) ep 7 of 12 - occasionally I forget that Yai is like 20 and this is his first love affaire. That poem bit gave me very Goethe vibes. Lots of doomed lesbians in this ep. Doomed love in general. Frankly? I was hoping for more oil less sad. Also, these two are making some v stupid mistakes. Also: MORE boys dancing.
Finally... who was it wanted a rain kiss? You got your rain kissing here, okay? No umbrellas to be had, apparently.
Tumblr media
Dangerous Romance (Fri YT) ep 7 of 12 - I love them so much. They are so darn adorable. I like how forthright Kang is. Boy has no game and is such a dork but at least he's enthusiastic. I love the “my boyfriend smells good” trope that BL is into these days. I’m into it, too. The bff enemies drunken bathroom shenanigans was v funny. Also @heretherebedork your boys are couple dancing all over the damn place this week.
I guess we get the boyfriends ep next week?
Hidden Agenda (Sun YT) ep 12fin - The conflict really kind of wasn’t in this last ep. But I guess it was a fine, if not a particularly strong, ending. I wish we’d had the family conflict threaded throughout the series. It would have felt like a deeper more honest drama and the actors could have handled it. They’re ready. How pretty were Joong’s single picturesque crystal tears? Honestly, it's been lovely, boys. Not at all memorable, but lovely.
Quick pitch Hidden Agenda: 
A relatively simple and harmless old-fashioned style university Thai BL, that started out Cyrano de Bergerac style but then drifted away into forgetfulness. It felt like it could have fit into the En of Love universe, except that it was high quality GMMTV with very pretty makeup. I enjoyed it for what it was, it's just that wasn’t much. 8/10 RECOMMENDED
Naughty Babe (Sat YT) ep 5 of 8 - Am I mostly watching this for Est and annoyed he doesn’t have a pair? Yes. (Am I writing a whole revenge plot in my head: "seduced to the good side by my enemy's hot bodyguard" with him and the Tem character? Yes. Yes I am. But that’s way too KinnPorsche for this show.) That said, MaxNat really are a great pair. Nice that Dio is figuring out how evil his own family is. Weirdly, I kind of like this speculation that if gay marriage were legal rich families would use it for arranged-marriage power plays. Can you imagine what China would do with this concept if they had access to it? 
Love in Translation (Sat iQIYI) ep 7 of 8 - The morning after was sweet, I do like it when we get these scenes in BL. FYI no one misgendered Bojji except the caption writer. The screaming "discovery" scene was adorable. And I am very much falling in love with all of the side characters. I also love how aggressive Yang is, like he stepped out of a 2016 Chinese BL into Thailand. And I adore the main brother relationship.
I have to say, this is going to be a difficult BL for me to review. I didn’t like the first 4 episodes but it seems like I’m going to love the final 3. I’m actually really looking forward to the finale next week. Boy, do I feel strange about this. In other news, is it just me or is it weird to get a gay kiss from Ngern almost 10 years later? How late is too late for smooching a boy? 
Never too late...
Absolute Zero (Thai Weds iQIYI) - from 2021, Studio Wabi Sabi and New Siwaj finally brings us this “time loop to prevent tragedy” romance based on the novel of the same name. I think we can expect this to be sad (so it will likely slide down my list as I become more confident about this). Mix is a great actor, so I’m not worried about that aspect, but I am warning you this won’t be your classic fluffy Thai BL. It’s a bit slow moving for me so far. Meanwhile, a revelation:
Thai high school BL is all about the hands. I blame Love Sick.
Tumblr media
FYI the outdoor movie they watch is Love of Siam Thailand’s first real queer movie, also featured in My Only 12%.
I'm in trouble, Ongsa is such a sunshine cutie and Sansoon is so lost and sad. Pretty sure I won’t have the patience for 12 episodes of this, but I’ll stick with it for now because a pair like this is yaoi-induced catnip for me.
Only Friends (Sat YT) ep 8 of 10 - Ah, Ray, baby, you can’t get what you want if you want the wrong thing. Also, corruption charges much? Is Ray turning into Ton or is that just me? I still hold that Jenny’s is the only story I actually wanted. Although, I did enjoy the two bi boys bonding over Freddie. GMMTV sure is making good use of Title now that they got him away from Wabi Sabi and I’m NOT mad about it (4 shows & counting). Under ordinary circumstances, I probably would have dropped this show by now. But something keeps dragging me back.
Tumblr media
My Universe (Sun iQIYI) Right Time Right You ep 6 - This couplet ended up feeling like an amateurish short. It was interesting in that way shorts can sometimes push into unusual territory, but very slow. My favorite so far, but that’s not saying much since we've only had 3. Kinda amorphous ending. 5/10 watch it if you have nothing better to do. Next week's looks pretty but silly: You Are My Soulmate.
Venus in the Sky (Tues iQIYI) 5 of 10 eps - I don’t understand the bit with the girl, car & eyebrows. Was that all just ad copy? This show is so bad I’m mostly fast forwarding now. I mean the leads are cute and earnest but that’s it. NO SINGING! And... nothing happened this ep. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Kisseki: Dear to Me (Taiwan Tues Viki & iQIYI) ep 7-8 of 13(?) - Buckle up I got A LOT to say. Ep 7 was the boyfriends ep! Look there’s a a lot of problematic going on here by western standards: age gap (FYI age of consent in Taiwan is 16) + teacher+student, but if you’ve been reading this blog for a while you should know that Taiwan likes both high heat and taboo content (and so do I) plus (unlike Mame) they just lean lube into those kinks. And I, for one, am delighted. I talk about taboo in terms of age gap here and stepbrothers here. I’ve never done teacher/ student because we don’t get it often enough (insert sad face). These are not things that I’m going to complain about or rehash, so, moving on...
I found a lot to love about ep 7: tie grabs, smiley kisses, communication, being held down, younger aggressor, AND preliminary research= all good things. They even brought in morning aftercare, and shared trauma! I love a show that’s both unexpected yet entirely classic Taiwanese BL. I love that the family appeared as a plot device and then disappeared again. It’s all highly amusing.
Gaga dropped ep 8 a week early, I’m assuming this was a mistake since they skip next week. But hey! 
Ep 8: def uhaul lesbians. Also cute queer fam moment. Ring finger biting = v hawt. Then of course it all goes south. Tres romantic means of taking the rap, gotta say. No one does gay sappy quite like Taiwan. Also, now we know why he loses his memory and Ai Di has to go in after him. Honestly, I’m not pleased to see yet another amnesia trope raise its ugly… head (why so many this year?). But it seems to be this year's trend. 
And I know there is more trauma coming, but in classic Taiwan fashion it’s all gonna be fine in the end even if that HEA is chaotic and entirely unearned. Don't worry, all. We good.
You Are Mine (Taiwan Fri Gaga) eps 4 of 10 - Oh noes, sunshine has a cold. And not from the rain... just, like, a normal cold. Amazing. But then when baby gets kidnapped, daddy gets v mad. Honestly, I am charmed by the show. It is very old-fashioned "domineering CEO puts little lady up against the wall" and it’s Taiwan, and thus I am not mad about it. This is what we would be getting from Mainland China if China we’re still making pulp BL. I am disposed to simply enjoy the utter "80s bodice ripper but gay"-ness of it all.
Bon Appetit (Korea Weds iQIYI) 1-2 of 8 - from 2022. If you have premium icky VIP you can binge it all now. I don’t, so instead I’m watching it 2 new episodes every Weds. Struggling heartbroken loser-ish office worker who lives off junk food + sunshine neighbor who loves to cook (from his past with a long-held crush). Also there is a "love class" element. Why does Korea like this conceit so much? Do their universities really engage in socialization training? Gotta say I’m getting whiffs of stalker... but only whiffs. Basically, this show is going poster child “way to a man’s heart is through his stomach“. Bit too much flashback, but I like that our chef is open about liking a boy, and I like that they remember things differently and in alignment with their own egos. And I like that we got a confession already. Ah KBL, it is nice to watch something that MUST move plot quickly. 
My Personal Weatherman AKA Taikan Yoho (Japan Sat Gaga) ep 6 of 8 - Jealous weatherman is ridiculous. Japan = queen of “why don’t you guys just talk?” 
Mr Cinderella 2 (Vietnam Sat YT) ep 2 - Ba Vinh & Minh Thao reprising their roles as Dung & Khoa what do we think? 8 eps? 10? We got the stepbrothers (or whatever they are) backstory. Also My Prettiest Cat-boy does certifiable nutcake v well. Psychopath looks hot on him.  
Tumblr media
It's Airing But...
Crazy Handsome Rich (Sun Gaga) ep 3 of 10 - The sound. No. DNF 
I Cannot Reach You AKA I Can't Reach You AKA Kimi ni wa Todokanai (Japan Tues Netflix-Japan & ????) - Adapted from the manga, childhood best friends: The cool, smart one who’s good at everything, and his average, dorky friend who struggles. Always by the other’s side, but not together in the way they truly want to be.
Unfortunately I Cannot Reach You, in classic JBL fashion, could not be reached. 
Tumblr media
In case you missed it?
Viki dropped Our Dating Sim the movie. I didn’t notice any extra footage and they took out all the in game/high school flashback stingers. At first, I didn’t really miss them but by the end of the movie I really did. So this is going to be one of those rare KBL instances where I recommend sticking to the original series over the repackaged movie.
Next Week Looks Like This:
Tumblr media
Upcoming October BL
Tumblr media
10/1 Can I Buy Your Love From A Vending Machine? AKA Sono Koi, Jihanki de Kaemasu ka? (Japan cinema release in-country only) - This one is a movie from Japan so in customary fashion who tf knows when (or if) it will get international distribution. Salaryman Ayumu Koiwai just can't tear his eyes away from the strong, muscular man as he checks on the stocks of the vending machine in his office.
10/5 If It’s With You AKA Even If I Fall In Love With You AKA Kimi to nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo’ (Japan Gaga) - from MBS a live action adaptation of Kubota Maru’s manga ‘君となら恋をしてみても. Amane has stopped loving people due to trauma until he meets Ryuji. At first Amane just wants to play with Ryuji but… feelings. I am assuming 8 eps and rumored to be taking Weatherman's spot so that date is likely wrong.
10/6 What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) - 4th installment in this series (1st series, 1 special, 1 movie prior) about a lawyer who lives with his boyfriend, a hairdresser, and cooks for him. Season 2 will follow the couple as they enter their 50’s. Slice-of-life drama adapted from a beloved manga series of the same name.
10/6 My Beautiful Man: Eternal AKA Utsukushii Kare Eternal (Japan movie Viki & Gaga) - This is the 3rd and final installment the series. The 2nd season didn’t blow me away the way the 1st did, but I still liked it. I'm looking forward to the finale. I hope we get character growth for a change.
10/31 SHADOW (Thai VIU ????) - this is a horror BL featuring ghosts and other paranormal elements in a high school setting. I'm not wild about Thai horror (or horror at all, but if it must be done in BL let Japan do it). It features Singto (who did paranormal BL He's Coming to Me) opposite Fluke N (who's done a couple horror's before). Also Fiat. Dan suffers from sleep paralysis, and in his dreams he sees a shadow that suffocates him. It gets worse when he transfers schools.
October? Bump Up Project AKA Bump Up Business (Korea ????) - BL staring OnlyOneOf that released(??) as a movie in July but is now being recut and reissued as a series. Stars NineMill and from Idol Romance bulled as a love story between a trainee who is about to debut and a celebrity from the same agency (based on a webtoon). OnlyOneOf have been auditioning for this since Libido IMHO. You can watch me chronicle their BL MV work in this post. Idol Romance will do sad but can do good kisses (Wish You, Nobleman Ryu, Once Again, Kissable Lips, Poongduck 304, Tasty Florida, Tinted With You) but I don't think we will get any in this. After that OmegaX Shoulder bullshizz buisness I am very wary of this show.
2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED).
