reasons why i think jughead has plans to propose to betty after graduation
a thread:

disclaimer: this thread is for FUN. i could be reaching, or i could be truly onto something. however, i know what some of yâall are like and you donât let other people have fun. please donât attack me for simply making a fun thread bc itâs not for your ship. this is a semi-joke.
okay so letâs start with the basics. if you remember in 1x07 â aka the ep after bugheads first kiss, jughead had dreamed that they were married. i donât think that scene was a coincidence. the way it was purposefully shown that she had a wedding ring was clear foreshadowing.
furthermore, they didnât even have to show bettyâs hand grabbing his at all, yet they did and highlighted the fact that she was wearing those rings very obviously. again, i personally think that this did mean something for them in the future.
moving on from that, we got a scene where betty told jughead while they were broken up, that she never stopped loving him and wasnât sure she ever could. all of this foreshadowing and buildup is leading onto the point that iâll make later, so keep these points in mind.
in parallel from that, jughead also told betty that he loves her and will never stop loving her â which i completely believe to be true
. the fact that theyâve both said that, means that their strong feelings for each other will never go, no matter who they end up with.

not to mention, they wanted to run away together in 2x05 so they could be with each other in another town where no one knows their name. thatâs how in love they are. can you really push the idea away that jughead wants to propose to her after graduation? i mean heâs so in love
in 2x22 we got a scene where betty and jughead were babysitting pollyâs twins and honestly, it looked like a future for them â but in the future theyâre looking after their own kids together. again, thereâs the foreshadowing again.
throughout season 4, weâve also had multiple scenes some would call very âdomesticâ and âmarriedâ. for example, this one. i love these cuddly, soft dorks.
in 4x03, we heard jughead tell betty that they were in it for the long haul, meaning they would be together for as long as possible. the kiss in that scene, honestly looked like they were kissing at a wedding chapel.
and now we get to the real point. as we all know from that... wonderful scene in 4x17 where bughead are fighting in the bunker, betty talks about how she was trying to make sure they have a future and jughead is quick to jump in and question her sudden lack of confidence.
he also goes on to say how he thought he would be her âdorm husbandâ. highlighting on the fact that he basically called himself her husband, he thinks that they would be married in college, which probably overhangs around the time after theyâve graduated.
what makes me think is the specific choice word. why would the writers highlight and heavily foreshadow on such a topic for them, multiple times? because itâs intentional. i feel like this is only the beginning of bugheadâs story, and thereâs much more to come from this.
itâs possible that maybe he mentions getting married in college, early s5 before they break up, as he always elaborates on their future with her. maybe the barchie kiss comes out then, and it all falls through and they break up.
it wouldnât be impossible for the writers to do this, it honestly sounds like something their dumbasses would follow through on for the extra drama, i honestly donât know.
moving on, letâs not forget what roberto teased in an interview for bh. notice how he repeats âveryâ 3 times, so how big can this talk be? is the big talk jughead saying how he wants to propose to her when theyâre out of riverdale? i know he mentioned thatâ
âitâs also about them going to different schools, but i feel like thatâs not all of it. i donât know. maybe he mentions how he wants to get engaged during college? who knows... but i feel like itâll be really dramatic and the ba kiss will surface then if it happens
letâs not forget this is a teen drama after all, itâs gotta be dramatic and i wouldnât be surprised if they had this idea in their head

anyway, iâm ending the thread here because again this is just for fun and itâs FUN to theorise so please donât attack me for this and if none of this even touches the tip of the iceberg in s5, please forget you ever read this
