y’all really need to stop acting like everything archie does
is a reflection of his intellect and not, you know, a direct result of him
having fallen victim to the manipulation and grooming of adult figures in his
life more than once and not getting the proper treatment to heal from those
traumas

As much as I wanna facepalm the fact that Archie pleaded guilty just so he could get juvie instead of jail without realizing that he will have a murder record the rest of his life, this post is on point.
