Or the pieces of media where the “darkness” involves characters of color being subjected to horrible racism. Other people, meanwhile, deliver criticism in bad faith, layeringtheir At school, the rumors are circulating: Kevin asks Betty if Jughead is really alive. Meanwhile, Cheryl is taking her role as Betty’s watcher seriously which leads to her spying on Archie and Betty kissing. Yes, Archie and Betty. Kissing. Cheryl immediately takes pics and blasts it to the whole school, though she tells V in person. Veronica yells at Archie in the student lounge, but doesn’t blame B—though B takes the blame unto herself. So Veronica leaves the room after telling them both to “burn in hell” (Toni cheers her on). We cannot measure behavior with the most extreme vile horrible behavior as the measuring stick. I think what's really been missing in this conversation is the fact that so many people are accusing me of “handing can be considered dark fic by some people, because it often serves up gender/bio essentialist worldbuilding wrapped around some werewolf-y characters getting intimate.
