It’s the weekend, which of course means I am caught up with Riverdale and this week on Riverdale we learned that Betty’s parents are the greatest monsters in human history.  Seriously, it’s the Coopers, Hitler, Pol Pot, and those people who are in line and somehow don’t even think to look at the menu board until it’s their turn to order and then seem to think that everyone is there to wait on them instead of doing the polite thing and stepping aside to let others order until they have decided.  Betty’s parents are horrible and I hope the show doesn’t soften them much not because I want poor Betty to be miserable but because I think the show did some solid subtle work on the abusive nature of the Archie-Grundy thing and it’s important to point out sometimes parents are bad parents.  And they aren’t doing it because they love you so much or because they’d do anything for you, they’re doing it because they are shitty people who should not be allowed to raise children.  You know, it would be good if media meant for younger people (and people with severe cases of arrested development like me) had that message once in a while.  Anyway, that was probably the biggest reveal of the week but the second biggest for me was Veronica wearing cat ears.  This was a thing.  It turns out that as good as Camila Mendes looks in pearls and pencil skirts it turns out she looks even better in cat ears.  And I’ll be honest, deep down I’ve  secretly holding out for the classic Josie and the Pussy Cats costumes from the reruns of my youth (also, I can’t be the only one who would love to hear a rendition of the old theme song by the current incarnation of the band, right).  I can’t be the only one who thought Melody was hot in the cartoon when I was 5.  Right?  Anyone? I mean, long tails and ears for hats? Whatever. Look, what I didn’t ever imagine was Veronica Lodge in one of the Pussycats’ outfits.  Turns out it was what I wanted all along.  So thumbs up, CW, as long as you are fulfilling wishes maybe more publicity shots of your stars so I have more to choose some (or anything for your stars of color, they are like not on the Internet at all). Anyway, Camila Mendes looked great.  She is just stupid hot.  Today I want to fuck Camila Mendes.
