i'm so sorry! lol but i appreciate the compliment.

but you know, there are some (unfortunately inactive) great varchie writers out there... @tuesdayschildd, @monicaposh, @theeternalblue and @alwaysspeakshermind. if you guys read their stuff i'm sure it will be an amazing experience.

that's a hard one because varchie contains multitudes but the ones that always make me think of them in no particular order:

the night we met - lord huron (i can write a whole essay on that)

13 beaches - lana del rey (it hurts to love you!! but i still love you!! it's just the way i feel!!)

empires - niki and the dove (it's a very important song #tome)

say you won't let go - james arthur (then you smiled over your shoulderrr and the 1x05 moment)

your soul - rhodes (is it falling apart?? i just wanna hold your hand! i'm holding on and on and on and on)

i try - macy gray (that's a classic... i believe that fate has brought us here x a date with destiny)

fade into you - mazzy star (actually a canon choice)

make this go on forever - snow patrol (oh archie's pov...)

varchie's themes 'not a killer' and 'angry and vulnerable girls' - blake neely (because when they played you knew shit was serious)

cardigan - taylor swift (the obligatory tswift one BUT she actually did haunt all of his what ifs when she died for him and went to his sweet hereafter to rip him off the picket fence idealized life he projected wanting to be his father, there's layers)

it's even more pathetic my dear that you're here on your own account to tell me that after the show is over and it ended with the confirmation that despite what betty hallucinated/imagined archie saying, that ship never saw each other again after high school :| and that the emotional scene they got, which wasn't even real, was only there so y'all could learn that archie lived in the same state as veronica for the rest of his life, which leaves room for interpretation.

trust that i know very well from personal experience what alzheimers entails. and yes, like you said, he wanted to give people stuff to theorize and think about, and that's why their theory is as valid as ours, but it's not "more rooted on canon" like they say dhshd.

the entire finale was in betty's "imagination/hallucination" though, or her limbo, or whatever, and that day didn't happen irl the way it was presented to us. and it's interesting that talk between ba was there only to tell us that they didn't end up together actually, while simultaneously giving them an emotional moment (that b had with everyone). she could have dementia but she also says the memories are coming back to her more and more as jug walks through. that's how she remembered where v was buried and archie's life. trust that they don't show glimpses of archie because they didn't want anyone to know Who is the wife.

lmao idgaf. let them believe it.

but if you were to think about it, why wasn't archie the one guiding her through those memories, then? why didn't you get his pov so we knew? why would ras go out of his way to give them an imaginary goodbye and send BH and VA to live in the same state, giving them open ending hints, if...? why didn't jug say something? ppl with alzheimers forget stuff, they don't make new stuff up, so why would she make up an entire life instead? anywayyy many questions.

i mean, i don't mean to disprove their theory, it's as valid as anyone else's. they want to believe that? cool. but you do have to bend canon backwards for it.

like I said, let them be.

My point being well done on your thoughtful answers lol

lol to be fair, buffy was definitely a better written show.

everyone in their bubbles as it should be 😌

i do understand the urge of looking what the other side might be saying to get a good laugh, but ultimately, i say let them reach to the moon to bend canon backwards now and try to find a way to be a secret endgame or whatever. everyone can think whatever they want now. the show is over.

i hope the very creative bh fandom goes back to writing (miss some of my faves writing for rvd)
