They're sophomores, I assume, because they want to write the series as they grow older and starting as young as possible, but with a bit more freedom that 16 provides is pretty good from a high school television writing standpoint,

All About Archie / Re: Jughead's nose

My favorite voice of Jughead has to be the one from the 1940s radio shows. I'm not sure which of the few voice actors (Harlan Stone, Cameron Andrews, or Arnold Stang) they used did the episode "Too Hot to Sleep" but that has to be one of the most hysterical ones. Jughead's "Relax, Archie, Relaaaax" always has me smiling.

Anyway, I love how Jughead is canonically asexual. And how it's perfectly possible for someone to know their sexuality even at 16. But acejughead thank you for being so reasonable and good in your responses.

Hey, I was curious if there have been any canonical confirmations or evidence about the birthdays for some of the Archie characters? This is kinda related to Zodiacs, but hmm.


If anyone doesn't have a headcanon for them? :0

I'm thinking Reggie would be a Leo.

I just wouldn't be into that same plot to be done beat for beat in Riverdale after Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa already employed in his Afterlife With Archie Comic. I know that they are basing some of the storylines on the Reboot series and for sure RAS would take inspiration from his previous stories... But Cheryl Blossom just being the straight old murderer and for them to the recycle the brother-sister are lovers/incest subplot would be kinda ? Boring?


I definitely like Apple's ideas about maybe Jason's murder being more complex than it seems.

Y'know I read this tumblr, but it'd be neat to add stuff here! I think one of the most interesting things they are doing is with Betty and her mother. They're bringing back Madchen Amick in from Twin Peaks in it. And I love her! And ::SPOILERS:: but so she seems to be overdosing Adderall to Betty, who does have ADHD. Which is just some neat representation :00 And the idea of Betty's mother being unhealthy and sometimes emotionally abusive to her kids is just really... like compelling to me?


And I hope they do it where Cheryl is the red herring for the murder of her brother, but instead - it is Betty's mother. Because we've seen her investigating the murder and it just seems... very likely due to the implied damaging relationship between Jason and Polly.


Anyway, the murdering parent trope is like p classic in CW TV stuff, but at least it's like different than Afterlife With Archie. So Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa isn't just recycling the awful incest subplot. And also that recent interview with RAS where he said "they'd never sexualized these characters before" is like completely false based on what I've seen... They did pinups of the girls in the 40s like!! It's not that original, bud.

Honestly, I really hope Riverdale can breath new life into the fan communities. Or at least spark people's old interest in Archie Comics. Kids I talk to always remember reading Archie Comics, but y'know it isn't a obsession like it has become for me by now  :buck2:


I really appreciate what Archie Comics has done recently in terms of representation. And I hope they do more going forward. Like perhaps Reggie Mantle being bi.

I was watching Grease a few moments ago. But now some friends and  I are tuning into our local hockey game. We're 2 points down. But there's still time.

Oh hey I'm glad to see you here!! It's honestly so cool that we all connected like we did. It's been a fun time already  :smitten:

We kinda have a joke going around that it is a "cursed video" based on how glitchy it is from the rip of the original. Some of the glitches make it so distorted that it becomes unsettling. But honestly, the poor quality makes it more amusing. For example, I made an edit of the most cursed parts. If you just google the "most cursed parts of archie variety hour" on YouTube you should find it. Since I can't post external links yet!

Hello, I go by the name Spatzi. I am in my first year of university. My long-time friend got me into Archie Comics about 6 months ago. And around the time, I started digging around old forums posts before the site went down but I'm glad its back up.


And the recent Riverdale stuff has reinvigorated me and I just wanted to see what the AC fandom was like in a sense.


There are so few active communities for it. I only now connected with a bunch of people my age who like it too! Yet I still I feel like I missed out a lot on it since I barely remember seeing any AC when I was kid. But I hope you'll see me well. Thanks for keeping such an active forum.  8)
