#riverdale rants

I didn’t even bother watching tonight’s episode of riverdale, but from what I’m reading from the tags people are saying Betty isnt REALLY over Archie, and that Cherl was wrong for telling Betty that she was “in love with the idea of Archie” and that her and Jug are “endgame”

Well heres my thoughts on it. Cheryl was 100% CORRECT.

Betty never will be 100% over Archie. He was her first “love”, even if she was just in love with the idea of him. Which she was. In season one when she was trying to confess at the dance, she admitted that now she was a cheerleader she saw them as being a sort of power couple. Maybe she really loved him at first, but then it just became the idea of him. And then she fell for Jughead.

You can never really get over someone that you loved, especially if you’ve been in love with them since you were young. But eventually after so long, after waiting and waiting for them to notice you, that love becomes a fantasy. Nothing more than a dream of what you want to happen. Then after awhile you move on.

And that’s what Betty did. She moved on.

What happened with the past few episodes was Betty getting a taste of that dream again, and missing it. She saw that Archie wanted her to, so she went for it thinking that maybe they could be a reality. The problem is that’s all in the past, and she just needed to be snapped out of it.

Cheryl was 100% right for telling Betty what she did, and she is 100% correct. Betty was just in love with the idea of Archie for the longest time. Now she has Jughead, and their relationship is real. Sure, theres probably gonna be a big blowup when he finds out what happened but that’s not the point here.

The point is that Cheryl is correct, and I stand by what she said.
