the irony is high society didn’t believe they could be a romantic match so they broke every rule possible for years which means they never learned to act proper after their engagement went public. No decorum, no nothing
someone pointed out colin twirling pen isn’t part of the choreography. He did it just cause it’s their thing now… so bad news is i won’t be able to think about anything else for the rest of the day 😭

This is the Mondrich Ball in ep 6. It’s when Cressida releases her own LW sheet and Penelope freaks out and Colin notices this. After, Pen has a scene with Eloise and then at the printshop Colin discovers she’s LW
while pen was being told by her potential future husband he had no room in his heart to love her, colin's love was so intense and consuming, he was willing to risk social ruin and public rejection if there was even a chance she felt the same... that's hot
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Colin walking in the background as he watches Pen dancing with Debling while he makes his way to interrupt them (to make it known that’s his girl obviously) will ALWAYS be hot to me
the minister asks the assembly if someone is against their marriage and colin reassures her instantly
the next time they’re inside that church, it’s their wedding. she’s anxious because she’s not sure HE truly wants this and he reassures her again with just a look and a nod
Their smile, how they communicate with just one look because they KNOW each other, they have that intimacy and complicity. THE WAY COLIN SMILES BECAUSE HE’S MADE PEN SMILE AND KNOW THEY ARE THINKING THE SAME THING I-

barchie got the shower scene first > fast and rough
then the car scene > slow and sensual
then the porch kiss and post sex cuddling >romantic
if the foreshadowing during Shallow wasn't enough, yes it's a classic fwb-turn-into-feelings trope
the shot stayed on Archie’s face the whole time V said they should pretend to protect bh. She was the one speaking but the director wanted you to look at Archie’s face and focus on HIS feelings about this charade. They wanted you to know how heartbreaking it is for him 😭
you know the ship is good when they can serve cute shit like this but also be the kind of people who f*ck against the shower wall for their first time. The duality of barchie!!!
they kept missing each other's gaze in the first scene but not one miss in 5x19 because the timing was finally right. Sorry but their parallels are unmatched.
remember when barchie dreamed about slow dancing with their foreheads touching, noses grazing and fingers interlocked because Archie made a choice he regrets and Betty can't let go of what they could've been if that night ended differently... just good old friends things yk
that whole speech was also a testament of how well he knows her. She didn’t have to tell him why she started LW. How society treated her. How her writing reflected the cruelty around her. He saw it with hiw own eyes and he understood. His biggest issue was reconciling Pen with LW
COLIN DEFENDING PENELOPE TO CRESSIDA WHILE ALSO HAVING HIS JEALOUSY OF HER WRITING SHOWING THROUGH A BIT I LOVE THIS CHARACTER WHO HAS COMPLEX MESSY FEELINGS SO SO DEEPLY
barchie aren't together yet but it was obvious their kiss changed the entire dynamic of the show. They'll never give up on the love quadrangle now. Riverdale will toy with it until they have a concrete plan for their series finale, and the new interviews just confirmed it.
will I ever get over the fact THIS part of the lyrics overlapped both Archie and Betty's shots? maybe the most obvious foreshadowing I've seen this show do
shooting my shot
1: she says she can't stay the night because it's against fwb rules
2: when barchie realize they need more
3: she comes over and says she'd like stay the night this time
in a world where anthony meets kate after colin and daphne get married, the archbishop sees him walk in, sighs then says "again?! who's the slutty sibling now??" to which anthony's only response would be ".....i'm afraid it is I"
there’s something so beautiful about barchie being completely vulnerable with each other these last 2 episodes, whether it’s about their fears, their traumas and what they want for their future because they always knew exactly what to say to reassure and comfort each other
Betty hearing from Archie that she's a survivor is one of my favourite scenes period. For years, people used her dArKnEss as a personality trait that binded their ship instead of untreated trauma. Now the writers made her abductor use it to draw similarities between Betty and him
love how betty tried and failed to be discreet about her stares but my guy was looking her up and down like there was no one else in the room... he couldn't help it.
@polintwinkles
it is SO funny because the moment Colin realized he loved her in 3x03, he went straight to her and was about to kiss her on the dance floor in front of the whole ton. The moment Pen realized it was reciprocated in the carriage, she went “hope nobody saw us! oh well 🤪”
veronica in s3: we're endgame archie
archie in s4: *cheats on her*
veronica in s5: all I want, all I need is archie
archie 1 ep later: *choses riverdale over her*
archie in season 6: I love you, Betty
veronica 1 ep later: but are we still endgame?
"the truth is shows evolve, people evolve, characters evolve. We are kinda following a little bit what we feel is true for the characters"
man basically said he used to plan a bh/va endgame and barchie made him stop planning lmaooo
why are we still having the fbw-becomes-feelings argument with bhs/vas when the writers themselves are telling you what's gonna happen? IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH BEING A SPOILER LMAOO
a people pleaser profesionally lmaooo.. so is the past tense supposed to be before or after he had the writers redo an entire storyline because he didn’t want to film in the cold like his co-stars?
daily reminder the only scene we saw post barchie kiss was them staring longingly at each other at every opportunity while paying dust to their bf/gf who were singing to them, legendary behavior
the "i know you better than anyone" energy from his stupid smile because he knew she was full of shit and she was gonna love his surprise nahhh can't do this
it’s hilarious how Albion Finch, a seasoned Featherington husband, holds back Harry Dankworth, the newbie, when he tries to catch up with Prudence. Mr. Finch is like, “Nah, you’ll want to just hang back with me. It’s safer here.” 😂
yk the moment where Archie told Betty to postpone their big talk until she catches TBK? then he grabbed her hand? He wasn’t scared or pushy when she said they might not want the same things. I feel like he knew getting rid of TBK first would help her clear her head. Loved that.
the point of that post shower discussion was for barchie to touch base and remind themselves - this time - they're not doing anything wrong. They're not cheating on J & V so they can be with each other without guilt, unlike last time.
there’s a 2 weeks break after 5x06 but it’s okay because I’ll need time to process all the barchie content we’re not used to getting... I mean the porch kiss alone will last me a whole week 😭
SHE chased after him to say goodbye when he’s the one who cheated on her. SHE went to his house for one last bang. God she even said ily first in that scene 😭. Yes he was over her. Embarassingly so. That man is not IN LOVE and I’m gonna need y’all to learn the difference.
