Proof That Jughead is Aromantic - Masterpost

*so we know he’s asexual in canon. but he could still feel romantic attraction!!1!1

what’s this? a screenshot from the writer’s twitter??? doesn’t prove anything. that’s just one comic. i’ll put an asterisk next to the comics by this guy to prove he’s the only one writing Juggie as aro.

i’m not convinced. that’s pretty open to interpretation; he’s probably interested

well… maybe that could mean he’s aro?

Let me take the lead this time, Sonic

Jughead using the aroace-flag colours

I have a tiktok, go follow!

I actually haven’t read Jughead: The Hunger yet but it looks great! Ever since I saw the werewolf ep I thought the idea of turning one of the gang into a werewolf would be really interesting. And since Jughead’s my favourite character, even better! I didn’t look at the cover art for reference so this is more of my own take? Plus, I wouldn’t be able to draw anything close to how great it looks on the cover. Tried to do kind of mid transformation, but I don’t think it’s very visible.

If anyone’s wondering, the markers are kind of like cheap copics from a brand called Adlibris (like 10$ for a 12 pack). I have my doubts that they have great colours, but I really do like their grayscale markers. And they’re the only ones I’ve tried so far

Pose inspired by this.

Hello, yes, I think this addition is extremely important.

There is almost twice as much written in the exclusionist tag, let that sink in.

So if y’all like writing fanfiction...

Say what you like about weird, cringy, or bad ao3 tags, I’ve found the absolute worst one ever, nothing can beat the horridness of this tag

Fuck you yes he fucking is. Stop erasing his identity you asshats

TW: IMPLIED DEATH, SCREAMING^

No art for today. But here, have some memes I made, I think that’s fine to post on my art account?

I actually love Reggie’s design and the artsyle, don’t take it the wrong way! But his squinting eyes impulsively reminds me of Trump...

Reminder that Jughead plays Zelda

I barely get any notes for Archie fanart, but goddamnit Jughead is my comfort character and I draw what I like

So here’s a screenshot redraw featuring aroace betrayal™. The shading looks a bit dirty but I don’t hate it. Idk which issue this is from btw, but I’d love to know!

I made some Reggie Mantle baked beans because why not?

Last pictures are from this episode (“Weather or Not”) of Sabrina the teenage witch and this episode

I know I made him too ripped

Recently got really into the Archie comics, realised Jughead definitely is aroace and now I’m pissed at Riverdale. He is very much neither emo nor straight, thank you. That is the basic context as for why I’m doing these sloppy sketches at 4 am. (On the right I drew Alastor from memory. I know it’s not accurate at all so let’s just call it ✨stylised✨)

Honey is very beautiful 💖💖😻

Quality drop cuz had to size down, but whatevez ;-;

I love multiverse stories, seen some pretty fun crossover Sonic blogs on here, so wanted to make a fake comic cover for the idea. Was very fun, happy with how it came out

A fun battle with the Archie gals + Sonic against blobs

I haven’t read Archie, just watched a bunch of video essays on it, but I did watch the cartoon as a kid so I do have attachment for both Bunny and Sally (her and Nicole seem cute)

Cole sprouse

Saw this trend in other fandoms not long ago and i thought it was cute! so i decided to do Howl's moving castle. (2004)

Yea. I've been in a weird riverdale fixation the past two days so heres this. I miss rvd

you’d have to strangle me before i’d read all the archie comics

his outfit is inspired by the canceled "Scourge the Speed Demon" comic (do not support it plz!! its said to have an SA scene and its lead artist is a white supremacist!!)

SOME THOUGHTS that drivin me nuts ...

You know I think Shards character could have need so much more character development. Like for all the trauma and insecurities he had/has to endure ... in a world, which hold (atleast a little) grudge against artifical life ... due to Eggman.

He was a famous killer robot. Mocking animals ... maybe killing them?? I know Sonic universe ... kid friendly and stuff, but these sharp fingers aren't there for nothing ... He might was causing a bad future, where every living thing is a robotic slave ... he saw how the Eggman Empire could have been. And now he tries everything to adjust to the "good side". Finding a place in the world. Seeking for forgiveness and a chance to prove himself.

Maybe he even can't move on from this. Alwayd playing the brave clown, while he's actually scared and frustrated. He probably stuck in his past. Always confronting himself, blaming himself ... Everytime he looks in the mirror he might not even see his current appearance ... just this menacing stare ...

Also, what I believe to recognize is that Eggman seems to got softer over the years. You know like in the beginning he hated nature, life itself and Sonic (of course) so much, that he just wanted to destroy everything. But nowadays it seems he has fun challenging the rodents. It's more of a game ... So I thought it would be interesting if his designs were gettin "softer" too.

And Shard might has the trauma of failing. Never won a battle alongside Eggman. Never enough for Eggman. Constant failure. Everytime reprogrammed. Everytime upgraded. Yeah of course does he want to constantly prove himself.

And yes then there is the fear of abandonment. One mistake and you're just scrap. Trash. You will be left to rot. Nobody will help you, repair you and give you a second chance ... and with Chuck exactly giving him this second chance, he might be really afraid that this hedgehog, this father figure, will also leave him, when he fails.

Oh and then maybe sometimes ... old habits sneak through. I also think there is this fear to go back to his old ways. No control about his "darker side".

I just love these redeeming characters. They try their best 💖

Oh brother…

Okay, I know she got a ton more appearing time and (somewhat) development in the comics when she became an eggboss and all that but I wanted to make her even prettier

Apparently, she was a fan-favorite (and my gay ass honestly understands, she’s fabulous) but I feel like she could be made even better as well with a few simple changes. So uh

Bride of Conquering Storm ⛈

The Bride of Conquering Storm, one of the three remaining Brides of the Dragon Kingdom, head of the Raiju Clan, declared by most as the most aggressive and merciless of the Brides by far.

In the clan of Raiju, strength and power is everything. By far, the champion of this merciless clan was Storm and her blatant bloodlust is what earned her the title of Bride. However, this was not an immediate victory. She had to fight her equally as violent sister to the death, which resulted in the loss of her eye. Even so, she reigned victorious and adapted to continue fighting.

She is untrusting of outsiders due to her heavy training and conditioning in the clan, though values loyalty and strength over all. Her teachings are as harsh and militant, but are taken with pride as these methods trace back to the clan’s founder. Though a bit unrelated, it is rumored amongst Raiju trainees that their Bride is able to manipulate weather with her feelings; this myth has been used to explain why the Raiju clan tends to be shadowed in storm clouds most of the time.

In present day, she remains a hostile, antagonistic figure amongst the other Brides, who also tend to keep their distance from her and her foot soldiers. The only Bride that she had somewhat “okay” relations with was Rich Nights. Despite her hostility, Storm is emotionally driven and a cunning individual that will defend her honor to her very last breath.

Decided to do the other brides as well and this gal is probably my favorite design-wise out of the bunch.

Nothing really bothered me a whole bunch about her design but I didn’t immediately think spider when I saw her. I also thought she looked a little too plain, but maybe that’s just me?

Again, this is my attempt at adapting these characters to modern sonic (specifically the comics for the most part) from the Archie comics. I’m not caught up with everything in them though, though I guess this could be considered a rewrite or reboot. So, let’s get to the modernizing of…

The Bride of Endless Reach 🕷

The Bride of Endless Reach, one of the three remaining Brides of the Dragon Kingdom, The mysterious and prophetic matriarch of the Gossamer Clan.

She has an almost perfect accuracy with her prophecies, this and her other strengths and abilities earning her the title of Bride of Endless Reach. Her authoritative nature tends to hide her more gracious and caring one, the one that treats her people as her own children (despite actually having none of her own). However, she herself is still a ruler and her position demands respect, which she gets in return from her people.

Reach once fought alongside her people on the field, however, the Web of Fate’s prophetic power convinced her to go out less and less until she began to spend almost all of her time in it’s presence. She foresaw horrible things that made her wary of her fellow Brides and even with contempt at their actions, especially Conquering Storm.

In present day, Reach remains a figure shrouded in mystery to those outside of her clan. She is wise and a rather merciful woman, yet dangerous with a rather horrible temper buried deep under. Her prophetic gaze and connection to the Web of Fate has rather desensitized her to her unconsciously brutal methods of fulfilling what she foretells.

So I decided that, after seeing an old redesign attempt from February in my gallery, I was going to reattempt to give this wonderful woman from the Archie comics a new look!

While I haven’t exactly gotten caught up with everything from the Archie comics, I did hyper-fixate on everything Ninja related. So, let’s go ahead and attempt a modernized rendition of

The Bride of Constant Vigil 👁

The Bride of Constant Vigil, one of the three remaining brides of the Matriarchal Dragon Kingdom, Head of the Shinobi Clan, Mother and Master to Espio the Chameleon.

After having inherited her title from a young age, she hardened herself with training and the responsibility of keeping her clan safe. Due to the clan wars being endlessly brutal, Vigil made the decision to take her people and retreat into the shadows, using their honed techniques of invisibility and espionage to keep watch over threats. Even so, the clan still kept their distance from the actual battles, turning their eyes towards other zones in the mean time…just in case. Then came the peace treaty, though none of the Brides truly believed it would last very long…

She personally trained her child, making sure that he would be prepared for any enemy or trouble, should he have to face it. Despite this, Vigil forbid him from actually leaving to go on any missions, which led to him eventually vanishing, leaving only a vague note and a single Kunai. Furious and frantic, she sent a trusted and trained guard to find him. Leading up to present day, she has heard from neither her son nor the guard she sent.

Speaking of present day, the matriarch has become cold and closed off from others, spending most of her time meditating or training on her own. She has become brash and hard from time and will not hesitate to silence you for good if you step one foot out of line. While on the side of neutrality, Vigil remains as brutal as her fellow Brides.

Might end up doing this for the other brides and stuff too. I just really like ninjas

My favorite #cupheadoc is.totally #jugheadjones my only nitpick is that he looks like a boy
