What Are the Serpent Laws

After graduation, the Snakes seemed to dissolve when Jughead went to the University of Iowa, though Sweet Pea stayed to get what was left. And when Toni returned from Highsmith, the two revived the snakes, under the leadership of Toni, who was crowned snake queen. The Snakes then pooled their money to buy The Good Night from Hiram Lodge to convert it into Whyte Wyrm. Through one of their connections, the Snakes have also organized a lucrative freight forwarding business, which is their main source of income. Since then, Toni has named Fangs as the Snake King and decided to use the snakes to help rebuild the community. Later, back at Sunnyside Trailer Park, Toni Jughead tested his memory of a snake`s period. A snake never shows cowardice, if a snake has been killed or imprisoned, then his family is taken care of, when he tried to give Toni his next answer, he could not remember the answer. What Toni told him was that he needed to take the situation more seriously. Jughead assured him that it was him, while vowing that he was doing his best, even though he was frustrated by the situation. As he commented, he first had to face “the beast” and now the laws of being a snake. Later, Toni asked Jughead why he suddenly changed his mind when he was a snake and asked him why he should go from conscientious objector to full member.

Jughead told her it was because of what she had told him before, when she told Toni that her father was the only person keeping people like Sweet Pea online and Toni said someone had to stand up to prevent an all-out war from breaking out. Toni was happy to hear these wise words from Jughead, while Jughead reassured her that he was taking the situation seriously. When she tried to review the rules again with Jughead to prepare him for his next exam.

As she told him if he had any concerns, it was now time to retire. Jughead tells him that the last clue was on a completely different level, as Jughead later tells him that he doesn`t mind because he sees it as anything. However, Toni told Jughead that it wasn`t “just anything” as she told him he had to be willing to die for her because they would do it for him. When she kept telling him that his friends from Northside and his girlfriend Betty would have to look up one day and that they would all be gone. To tell Jughead, that`s what happens when you join a gang, that snakes were no exception. Jughead later responded by telling her to take it as a warning, and later thanked her for informing him before he moved on to the snake`s final stage. Put on your black lingerie, throw a plaid flannel over it, maybe add suspenders, and then peel it off with your toughest leather motorcycle jacket, as we`ll dive into Riverdale`s second worst biker gang: the Southside Snakes. Vulture sat down with showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Cole Sprouse, and costume designer Rebekka Sorensen to answer all the pressing questions about the Snakes` lifestyle: where they`re from, what they`re wearing, what exactly they do (and don`t do), and how dangerous Jughead`s clique of choice really is.

To become a Southside snake, one must undergo an initiation ceremony. As tradition says, there are four phases; First, each new member must take care of the snake dog, Hot Dog, also known as “The Beast”. Second, they must memorize the laws of the serpent and recite them in the order provided; these are the rules by which Southern Snakes live. Third, they need to take a knife out of the snake`s cage. Finally, the final stage, known as the “gauntlet,” involves a physical display of loyalty and strength, especially jumped into the gang by its members, which essentially requires the initiate to endure several blows in all areas of the body just to stand up and hold on. At the end of the last task, the initiate is congratulated by shaking hands with the other members, a sign of “good sportsmanship”, and receiving the snake jacket. This last step shows a sign of respect in snakes, as they must be willing to die for each other. Female snakes have an alternative initiation ceremony. Byrdie claimed that if women wanted to join the “club,” they had to do the “snake dance,” an outdated and sexist snake tradition that Toni tried to ban even though misogyny prevailed. There is nothing about snakes that is directly based on real bikers, gangs, biker gangs or snakes. “I wish I could say [our inspiration] was like Sons of Anarchy, but it was more like the T-Birds of Grease or the Greasers from The Outsiders,” Aguirre-Sacasa said.

(It adds up: Betty is such a Soc.) “It was a kind of Crybaby from the 1950s, much more than iconography.” Do women also face the challenge? The Southside Serpents are feminist enough to include women in their ranks, but also sexist enough to still have a “snake dance” that we`ll talk about in a paragraph.
