Or Ancient Earth, he was reborn after the collision (essentially his core/outer layers repairing themselves anew) and has no memory of it ever happening in solarballs. HOWEVER, headcanon, i like to think he has certain visions(?) of his past self? Like he stares into a part of vast space wondering why its so familiar. A lot of things give him weird deja vu like that. Its mainly bc of the (supposed?) remnants of Theia but also because he probably still has some proto earth in him.
Theia:
Theia is the mother of Luna, right? (Or well trchnically selene but yk) and since Luna was made out of Theia's remnants i also think he has visions from when Theia existed. Like, seeing through Theia's eyes when he's sleeping. Anyways, enuf abt him, Theia! I like to think Theia preferred to stand out from the others, and thus she would try to show off in many ways possible (like crossing other planets orbits and playing the ancient version of asteroid dodgeball) but aside from her competitive nature she was the most friendliest face there. She also liked shiny things, a bit of a hoarder really lol
Do you think Kenny actually likes cartman? I’m not so sure since the reading of his will in s9e4 (https://youtu.be/QGx92r8NLIM)
I feel like nobody likes him but Kyle is the only one who thinks he can possibly get better at all.
I agree on some level with that last statement. Due to Kyle's morals and complicated attachment to Cartman, he would be the only one willing to nurture the potential Cartman has, though I'd say Cartman isn't universally hated as one would assume. I think Kenny and Cartman's friendship deepened off screen since s9. It shows itself strongly in the covid specials and post-covid (not post covid the special, I mean like.. after the actual irl covid and.. ARGH mattrey u make my life so difficult)
Kenny was the one to approach Cartman about the fragility of the broship and inspires Cartman to be the one to make sure the gang stays together. That's a level of openness and vulnerability that frankly, I haven't seen him share with Stan or Kyle. Quite the opposite in fact-- When Kenny finally admits he's immortal, Stan and Kyle dismiss him in their own way. Neither have made the move to sympathize with him since, especially at the level Cartman does in the covid episodes. Now, Cartman's "sympathetic" method of coddling Kenny wasn't the best thing to do I'd say, the show was clear Stan, Kyle and Cartman weren’t handling the broship fallout well, but Cartman definitely proved himself as the “best friend” the show has claimed he’s been in prioritizing Kenny during Covid. We even get a verbal reminder from Cartman and Kyle in Post-Covid that despite it being the literal worst future for everyone, Cartman and Kenny’s friendship thrived. With the opposite lives they lead, it's astounding they remained best friends for forty years.
That level of loyalty is kicking Stan and Kyle in the dirt and laughing rn. Look at Dikinbaus! Cartman and Kenny had a blast “planning the business” (ie living it up as owners and mutually taking advantage of Butters to just pal around) and Cartman once again concedes to Kenny when he lets him work from home. It’s a gag first and foremost, but still, I think it works as part of character analysis lolol. I’m analyzing this a lot from Cartman’s perspective, or at least his actions, but I don’t rlly have much to go by on Kenny’s end and I hope y’all can see why lol. excluding the Mysterion arc and the s22 Halloween episode, he’s a passive character. things rly just are happening to this dude.
Cartman's attachment to Kenny has grown exponentially since the early seasons ("I hate yew guys/ specially kinny/ ah hate em the most/") whereas we've heard directly from Kenny what he thought of Cartman at the time s9 was written but we don't really know what he thinks of Cartman presently. Now, mattrey have written Kenny's quietness and frequent disappearances as part of the charm of his character--the mysteriousness with a pinch of hidden sadness, maybe a dash of loneliness--and not like, a serious writing pitfall of not knowing what to do with one of your main characters, not giving them the chance to let the audience see their motivations. So the uncertainty surrounding Kenny's true opinions, in this case of his friendship with Cartman, isn't by accident. I'd say it's fair to assume Kenny now views Cartman as a best friend, given how much Cartman has done for him.
I’d also say it’s fair to assume the pity for Cartman hasn’t changed.
yeah sorry i'm both your doppleganger and yet also your inversion. yeah we're both really alike but also crucially opposite. we function the same but our paths branch in different unique ways. yeah we're stuck like this for the entire narrative my bad man

idk I feel so complicated about aligning myself with autistic ppl bc in a lot of ways I do relate and find the language and symptom description and treatments available useful and since approaching my experiences in that way I have improved my quality of life dramatically. But also idk I guess it just feels complicated but also doesn’t rly matter
