Jughead Isn’t Aro

According to the Sexuality section on Jughead’s Wikipedia page…

Jughead got jealous when Ethel started dating other guys.

The Archie writers have said that they want Jughead and Betty to end up together.

He has showed a sincere romantic interest in Betty in a few stories.

In one comic, it’s revealed that being around girls actually makes Jughead nervous, and he deals with that by eating.

In another, it is revealed that he liked a girl called Joani when he was younger, but had to leave her behind when he moved to Riverdale. Joani ends up visiting Riverdale and she and Jughead kiss.

In the 90′s, Jughead three girlfriends, Debbie, Joani, and January McAndrews.

Take away: Jughead may be asexual, but he isn’t aromantic. So the show setting him up with Betty is not only not erasure, but actually in keeping with some of the comics and the writers’ own thoughts on the subject.

Relying on my tumblr fam to keep my fantasies alive because what even was that chicken shop date? These two better date irl because there is no other logical explanation to that much chemistry

Help I am deceased 😭♥️

Okay bye gonna watch the video on loop

P.S this is probably the first date where I’ve heard someone call her by her name multiple times *and* that she only managed to ask her a total of two questions, because clearly the man was on a TASK to determine whether they could make this work off camera 😫
