do y'all think the companions can see the butler too? or...

I did chill me out on other fandom bullshit tho, i've seen it all and worse before.

seriously tho!

you can't survive the riverdale fandom and not come out like this at the end

i always saw my twitter bubble complaining about Rhea not getting award attention and never got it. silly me!

(sorry friend this response is going to get so much longer than u probably intended lol)

i can't get over how floored i am by both how incredible this show is, and how it is so so far from the expectations i had when i started watching it. (which was only like...5-6 weeks ago? lol i am nothing if not obsessive)

i enjoyed breaking bad but it probably wouldn't even make my top 10 tv shows so i just never had much interest in BCS. never really paid any attention to what i saw on tumblr etc, i don't think i even realized that like, mike was a main character on the show? i knew there was a blonde woman, that was about it.

and then my SO & i decided to finally watch it and BOOM i went from being like aw they're cute but it's def not gonna end well! around s2 to THEY WOULD DIE FOR EACH OTHER AND SO WOULD I by the end of s5.

and like, it's not just that this is a really great show that happens to have a really great ship. jimmy & kim's relationship is the point of BCS. it's what ruins him, and it's what redeems him. their relationship is the crux of the entire story being told across two tv series and a movie. without kim, there is no saul goodman, and without saul goodman, there is no heisenberg. and kim did not even exist when they made breaking bad!!! (and i am coming back to edit this and say: this kind of makes it sound like kim is just there in service of jimmy's story, which is not AT ALL the case, and it's even more impressive because her character could have so easily functioned that way in the hands of lesser writers.)

and then you read interviews and stuff with the writers/actors/directors, and see bits of the actual script, and instead of being like ok ok that's not what they were trying to do, i'm just a hopeless romantic, whatever death of the author etc etc, it's like - oh my god i'm right! THEY WERE! INTENTIONALLY! DOING THAT!

Since I have several in-progress projects I could choose from, I picked return to Eldervair, because it meant I could write cute parenting stuff:

Betty found Jughead passed out on the chair, Juliet curled up in his arms. Betty’s old bedroom had become a make-shift nursery, still with all of the furniture from her teenage years except for the bed, which had been dismantled and stored up into the attic. In the bed’s place was the only new piece of furniture in the room, a tall cradle for Juliet.

Delicately, Betty reached down and lifted Juliet out of Jughead’s arms. Juliet scrunched her nose into a disgruntled frown, but did not wake. Jughead, immediately missing the weight of their daughter, cracked an eye open. He watched her, without speaking, as Betty placed Juliet down in her crib. His eyes were closed again by the time she turned back around.

“Are you coming to bed?”

He made a face, not dissimilar to the expression his daughter had made only moments before.
