veronicalodge: ok so they were talking about the serpents I think and then it turned into Arguing about the serpents? and when I said ‘oh SHIIIIT’ it was because toni said something like ‘I feel like sometimes you see me as your charity project’ and cheryl just about screamed

jugheadjones: oh my god!!

bettycooper:  how can this happen on lesbian visibility day Honestly????

veronicalodge: cheryl just said like ‘honestly it’s pretty insulting that you thought that, I’ve only ever wanted to help you and the serpents’ and toni said ‘well that’s just how i feel, maybe you should think before you throw your money at things sometimes”
