Still insane about the fact that Jughead doesn't interact with the story until Archie finds him. Jughead the narrator only becomes a character participating in the narrative when Archie talks to him. And the way he shows up?
He juxtaposes himself with Betty. Betty. The love interest Betty. Positions himself as the other woman, the other option, usually where Veronica would be. Now we know that narrator Jughead does this as irony almost sarcastically. However in retrospect, he is the secret third option: the way to escape the narrative. The only one Archie actively imagines a future with.
Anyway I'm completely normal about this. No worries. I'm fine. FINE.
