He's trolling you, dammit. And you are giving him the pleasure of falling and causing him to continue doing because it works

They're not jerks, and they know what finally works is Bughead. They will never break they're strong. Basically it's their audience, and even though I don't trust them because I hate them, if I trust us and the audience we can tear it apart, and they know it. We are more than 70% of the fandom.

i mean, there’s an obvious similarity to dan and blair, a couple that i was, at one point, as passionately into as one could be while simultaneously not really investing in that show. 

as their characterization stands now, though—beyond the fact that they’re both very wry and clever (i love writing banter between them, as it’s always a fight to pepper out the most ridiculous references)—i don’t see much about them that would offer the kind of balance their personalities need. they both lose their ability to see the forest for the trees, and together, i think that’d be a fair bit destructive. 

and i don’t see anything in their relationship going forward that doesn’t spell outright antagonism between them, tbh, with veronica kind of actively seeking to oust jughead, his family, and his southside friends. 

i think a multi-shipper is a fun place to be! i generally start out as one and then the more invested i get, the more singular my preferences get. which is kind of the answer to your question---i’m so deep into bughead that no, i can’t really see that changing. 

i think.....honestly......if the show had gone a different direction from the beginning, if they hadn’t set up bughead (but also varchie, though i care less about this ship. with veronica i still ship her with almost everyone) the way they had, i could see more of the appeal. 

and superficially i still do, but i just don’t think the characters are compatible at all. jughead is so about truth seeking and veronica is about secret keeping. can’t really work, even if they do fundamentally remind me of blair and dan, a couple i did like. 

like i said earlier today, i really don’t care what other people from other ships think as long as it’s not outright awful. everyone can do them, yanno
