Tabitharonnie

Tabitharonnie is the femslash ship between Tabitha and Veronica from the Riverdale fandom.

Canon
Tabitha and Veronica meet when Tabitha comes to Riverdale to take over her family business, Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, as her grandfather is retiring. Tabitha and Veronica appear to share similarities; both ferociously ambitious women, highly competent, and meticulously dive into independent business ventures, always aiming high in their quests to succeed. Veronica attends the retirement party at Pop's and they later both hang out at the Whyte Wyrm, albeit not together, where Tabitha watches Veronica perform at karaoke night, impressed.

They're both at the Whyte Wyrm when Cheryl invites everyone to a key party at Thornhill, which they later both attend. However, Tabitha doesn't stay long as she helps and drives home a wasted Jughead, and she and Veronica don't interact. In order to help Archie with his quest to reestablish the town of Riverdale, Veronica asks Tabitha if Pop's would host a pancake breakfast to gather the town around the football team. Tabitha agrees, prompting Veronica to surreptitiously ask if she would consider becoming the official sponsor for the Riverdale High Bulldogs. Tabitha agrees to try it out and they later attend the football game together, cheering in the stands.

When Tabitha and Betty come up with a plan to gather the truckers at the Whyte Wyrm, they ask Veronica to help by being one of the girls dancing on the bar while the guys check trucks for anything suspicious. Veronica agrees and hey meet at the Wyrm to go over the plan. Later in the evening Tabitha and Veronica perform alongside one another, where both sing a number and dance together.

Fanon
When the character of Tabitha was announced, the ship took off immediately on twitter, and has remained popular despite the characters only having two interactions on the series thus far. Tabitha owning Pop's, which Veronica used to run (and thought she owned) has fans liking the prospect of these two capable, ambitious women as a pairing. Some also prefer it to Tabitha being positioned as a possible 'roadblock' on the way to Bughead reconciliation, given the show's offensive history with characters of colour, and Veronica being shoved back together with a guy who cheated on her. Generally, viewers want to see Veronica form meaningful relationships with other women, as she's often relegated to dealing with her father in storylines separate from female characters. Despite minimal screentime, the pairing has only gotten more popular as the season has progressed.
