Do you ship Beronica? I don't feel like Betty is into girls, Veronica on the other hand yes but even if Betty was into girls I personally don't think she's worthy of Veronica. I wanna heard your opinion.
First, I have to say that I read the comics first and then watched the show, so I’m super cynical about all of the things that are different in the show and I pretty much live in a fantasy land where the only canon I’ll accept is… really fucking gay.
That said, the comics aren’t super developed either, but at least in the comics the characters were genuinely likable. Sure, both Betty and Veronica spent a lot of time drooling over Archie, but there was definitely some subtext there (I have almost all of the gayest highlights if y’all want to see them).
However, if we’re just talking about the show, that’s a whole different thing. From the very first episode, when Betty and Veronica kissed, I was dragged in by the queerbaiting. Now, their characters have become so radically different that I don’t think they could ever be reconciled in the Riverdale universe. Riverdale’s storyline has gone out the window, and over time, I gradually became less and less enamored with their relationship. I still ship them, and I always enjoy a good fanfic, but I know that it’s never going to happen.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Beronica, though, no matter what happens, because it kind of helped me get my girlfriend (back in the days of season one, when I was still convinced that Beronica could happen, I was constantly ranting about Riverdale to my friends [some things never change]. Then, Homecoming Week came around and one of the days was ‘Dress Up As Your Favorite Character’ or something similar. I had pretty much no idea what to do, so you can imagine how relieved I was when my then-just-crush-and-best-friend texted me, asking if I wanted to go as Betty and Veronica with her. Of course, being the oblivious bisexual that I am, I wasn’t sure if she actually liked me or if she just wanted to go as friends [even though she 100% knew that I shipped Beronica and had already come out by then]. It was only about a month after that I finally gathered the courage to ask if she liked me [over text, mind you… because I’m a coward] and she was like ‘yeah…’).
