explaining my favourite bughead quotes of all time

a thread:
starting this thread with,, “hey there juliet. nurse off duty?” — i can’t explain why i love it... i just do. the pet name, also the first of many references to romeo and juliet for them... very immaculate
“we’re not our parents, betty. we’re not our families.” — this one remains very true to both of them. it’s easy feel disorientated because of your upbringing. jughead helped her realise that she’s not who her parents are, after she compared herself to them.
“jughead, if we’re gonna be together... i wanna know who you are. all of it.” — it’s special because it’s her way of accepting who he is, and loving every single part of him that he’s ashamed of. it’s a great turning point for their development as a couple.
“you’re so much stronger than all of the white noise. you’re stronger than your mother, you’re stronger than your father.“ — this one is beautiful because he thinks she’s strong. he told her she’s stronger than her family, when she felt “weak”. HE made her feel strong.
“i LOVE jughead. he’s as much my family as you are, more so right now.” — in that very moment, betty chose jughead. she defended him against her mother, and not only that. she said she loves him out loud, for the very first time.
“you belong here just as much as everyone else. this is your home, you know that. right?” — she made him feel like he belonged in riverdale, when everyone else had turned his back on him. she’s the only one who made him feel truly loved.
“that is why i love you, betty.” — this was the moment he was truly vulnerable with her. it was very real and raw; not only did he say he loved her, he elaborated on one of the many reasons, and it highlighted the fact that he fell in love with her for who she is.
“whatever you need to do, or explore... i support you.” — she told him that no matter what, she will always support his decisions, because she is with him, she loves & supports him. it sealed a great amount of trust and acceptance in their relationship.
“like... romeo and juliet, but we live happily ever after instead.” — they were so tired of everything going on in the town, that they just wanted to run away together. they love each other so much, they longed to drop their lives in riverdale to be together, and start a new life
“betty, you did the one thing that could actually hurt me.” — jughead has been hurt a lot through his life, yet the thing that hurt him the most is the thought of betty not wanting to be with him. this just shows how much jughead realy does love betty. she’s his anchor.
“i never stopped loving you, jug. i’m not sure i can” — betty is so sure of her feelings for jughead, she doesn’t think she’ll ever stop loving him. that’s beautiful. she’ll never stop loving him. let that sink in.
“jughead is important to me.” — betty prioritising jughead over anyone else is very beautiful to me. it shows that she has a clear admiration for him, and would do pretty much anything to make sure he’s okay and happy. he’s important to her.
“it’s like... every decision i’ve made, since we broke up, including our breakup, just makes things worse and worse.” — this one speaks for itself. she’s his anchor; he needs her.
“we. it’s just nice to hear that again.” — this is SO soft and very very confrontational. she missed him so much, and she had to tell him. he’s her anchor just as much as she’s his. they physically cannot stay away from each other<3
“look, i’ll be apologising for it for the rest of my life but i’m sorry, i am.” — he regretted ever breaking up with her, because they need each other. again; he missed her as much as she missed him. also, ‘for the rest of my life’. foreshadowing.
“i just wanna let you know that i love you. i’ll never stop loving you.” — do you hear that folks? he’ll never stop loving her. he’s always loved her. connotations on, ‘never’, there is one again, foreshadowing. his feelings for her will never go, love is strong.
“from now on, we’re partners. in serpents, in life, in all of it. okay?” — him reassuring her, telling her that they’d get through everything together is very beautiful. they’re in it together.
“i’m surviving, because you’re here with me.” — this one is pretty obvious so it doesn’t need to be explained. she’s his anchor.
“thinking about you was the only thing that kept me from losing hope. and my sanity” — all he needs to do is think about her to make himself feel safe. she’s his home, his anchor. his love. his everything.
“i was facing the tyranny of a blank page, and i needed my anchor” — there it is! jughead finally admitting she’s his anchor. beautiful.
“i love you, and i really hate when we fight.” — this boy loves her SO much, he got a train to their house in the middle of the night just so he could apologise and see if she was okay... if that’s not love, i honestly dont know what is.
“the worst 36 hours of my life.” — PERIOD. the worst 36 hours of betty cooper’s life was being away from jughead and not knowing if he would make it.
“i’m sorry, in what future are we not together?” — he sees a future with her. that’s how whipped this boy is.
i’ll probably update this thread if i remember something
