So.
- Archie Comics has been adapted into a gritty teen drama. Which I am not actually watching, but…
- “Betty and Veronica” is what tvtropes calls the thing where a character has one safe, wholesome love interest and one interesting, dangerous love interest.
- On the show, there is apparently a nonzero amount of gay between the actual Betty and actual Veronica.
Taken together, this all leads to the following entry on the Riverdale tvtropes page:
For Betty, Archie should be her Betty and Veronica her Veronica, but Archie’s secrets make him less safe than Betty expected, while Veronica is unfailingly kind and supportive, which would mean that Archie is the Veronica and Veronica is the Betty.
…which is amazing, and I am elated that thirteen billion years of universe and millennia of human history have culminated in somebody writing that paragraph.
That is all.
everyone’s kind of the veronica and that’s okay by me.
