on their way to go watch the barbie movie!!! ok but now i wanna ramble a bit about soudam movie dates teehee feel free to keep reading
aight ok so gundam has a less strong reaction towards movies (unless it’s animal related, he will then fall to his knees and start monologuing) (or he will start bawling his eyes out if it's sad). kazuichi my boy, on the other hand, is a major pussy. his reactions are always pure and utter raw emotion, if it's scary he will shit his pants, if it's sad he will be a destroyed sobbing mess, etc. etc. it's literally just souda being souda.
gundam's favorite genre is horror, cuz ooh spooky and nice film direction, while kazuichi obv likes action and comedy and what not. (i'd also like to think both of them like animated movies/shows/TV in general, since they probably grew up with it so they bond over that too) gundam's not as fond of comedy but will watch it because he likes seeing kazuichi giggle and laugh and just having fun :,,,,3
kazuichi tries to return the favor by watching horror films with gundam, but unfortunately he always gets scared shitless less than halfway through. but hey, free cuddles!!! i love them SO SO MUCH ARGHHHHHHHHHH i want to squeeze them until they pop /pos
anyways thanks for reading my ramblings here's a lil sonia doodle as a treat
I just saw two thirds of the Coon and Friends trilogy, and I feel like sharing my thoughts so far. I shall warn you, my thoughts may seem very haphazardly written down because I don't know how to format them.
I vastly preferred the first part to the second part, because I find myself irritated by Mysterion for reasons incompressible to me. I think it's something to do with his voice, although his incredibly dark and edgy backstory doesn't really excite me much either. I get what they were going for, but it isn't really something I enjoy.
So far, the only storylines/recurring jokes I've liked have been The Coon and Cthulhu, as well as the incredibly bizarre BP apologies. Everything else has been either mediocre or boring. Originally, I even hated seeing Cthulhu here, since HP Lovecraft is like the precursor to Stephen King, one of the many terrifying banes of my existence. Certainly doesn't help that I know he was incredibly racist, even for his time period.
Either way, I'm pleasantly surprised to find that this saga has actually been decently funny so far. I guess we'll have to see if my opinion changes after seeing the final part of the trilogy.
Kenny's social situation is part of why i love him haha. Realistically quiet people like him tend to be well liked but not loved; they're on good terms with most but you would never call them popular. But Kenny *is* popular sometimes. I think he has a tendency to express himself through actions more than words and is a great listener. I can't remember exactly jow much of that is canon, but yeah. I also like the fan headcanon that he always knows more than anyone expects and sometimes figures out what other people are feeling before they themselves do
Yeah. I think Kenny's quiet nature is what seems to gravitate people towards him or more so he's quiet enough on his own that he doesn't really bother anyone. And I think that's why him being a good listener is a popular of a headcannon as it is. He seems quiet enough that he would in fact listen to someone who needed to talk and not interrupt or talk over them? And maybe he'd try to offer some advice of his own if they asked for it. Ha like Mackey noted he'd make for a great counselour and maybe it's because he's great at just listening.
He's canonically tried to comfort his friends when needed. He's very good at offering shoulder pats. And I esp love the moment in "Cartman's Gift" when he attempts to console Kyle. So I imagine there are times when Kenny's done the same for some of his other peers. Ha maybe he's not always so good at knowing what to say or advice but he'll try or at the least try to sympathize? Maybe that's just my own personal hc.
And I've personally headcannoned Kenny being more oberservant and aware than what he's lead on to be as well. Mainly due to Mysterion's detective skills. Like when the heroes find their lair had been ransacked he was able to somehow quickly figure out it wasn't Cartman but someone who was looking for something. And just as quickly he was able to gather information about the Cthulhu cult in their neighborhood and where they were meeting and got pretty close to finding out how they linked up to his curse.
So I think at least as his alter ego Kenny had shown to be very obeservant and able to figure things/situations out rather quickly. And it'd fit perfectly with his quiet nature. I like to think he's able to just quietly gather information around him when it's needed...though he's probably spacing out just as much too. XD
I don't think azula x zuko are abuse victims is a good excuse to handwave the killing of aang and takeover of the earth kingdom . This is not about iroh I won't respond to but iroh.
the atla fandom doesn't know how to enjoy villians. I empathize with bad guys all the time so I really don't get the issue that characters can't be villians cause they're kids have yall watch kid shows. Most have kids playing bad guy vs good guy. There is nothing wrong with people viewing fictional kids as vilians. Zuko was sympathic a villian up tilll joining the gang . Azula became a sympathetic villian in the end of s3.
Enjoying a sympathic villian isn't a moral failing.
My personal favs are bojack horseman a very sympathic villianinish guy and eric cartman a bigotedserial killer.
Enjoying a sympathic villian or a non sympathic one isn't a moral failing
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.
If you're still taking requests, could I please get headcanons for the main 4 boys, Butters, and Wendy reacting to finding out reader is aro/ace? If that's too many characters then just Kenny, Butters, and Wendy would be fine.
— Kenny, Butters and Wendy finding out reader is AroAce! —
cws/tw’s: sex jokes/questions made by kenny
a/n: heyyy! thank you for the option of just the 3, i was kind of having trouble with writing cartman and kyle 😭 <3 i hope u enjoy this!! i loterally love writing for tyese 3 ty for requesting them ☹️☹️🫶🫶🫶
misc. notes: characters can be interpreted as any age, this is not supposed to be a sexual post at all!! gender is not specified, post will be platonic since not specified ^^ :3
— Kenny !!
doesn’t really care what you identify as as long as your not cartman (/j) but he’s still kinda clueless on what aro/ace is.
when you explain it to him he specifically listens to the asexual part of it, surprised when he finds out it means you have no sexual drive.
“YOU CANT HAVE SEX?? ☹️” “i mean your kind of on the right track?.. i just, dont want to”
definitely does not get it at all since he’s a big F-boy, but respects your nonchalant life. at least you won’t have to put up with annoying wives or nagging husbands forever.
gets more low-key with the dirty jokes, acts like it’s a deathly offense to you and says sorry when he says something dirty (or just whispers it to his friends), even if you don’t mind it he’s still cautious.
doesn’t know if he should talk about relationships that much with you, but you really don’t care since it doesn’t, and won’t involve you.
when someone flirts with you he sweeps in infront of you and acts all super man 😭 “VERY FINE CHOICE OF ATTRACTION BUT THEY ARE OFF LIMITS FOREVER 🙅♂️😙” it makes u giggle a little, then you tell the person your super not interested and kenny’s happy and pats himself on the back for his “hard work”
if you make a dirty joke around him he’ll laugh 100x more than before you came out to him, it’s just funny watching you make those jokes when he 100% knows you mean none of it (unlike him)
a little dumb on the subject but he’s got the spirit, hates when people flirt with you as much as you do!!! if your shy and get hit on he’ll drag you away and blow a muffled raspberry to the person
ACTS LIKE MYSTERION WHEN SOMEONE FLIRTS WITH YOU OR TRIES TO GET WITH U 😭 and if he is mysterion and he see’s someone doing that he’ll stand next to you and put his hands on his hips, motioning for the person to go away (even if you can perfectly do it by yourself)
kind of just goes on with his life after you tell him, he doesn’t really care but he does think your neat!! even tho he’s prone to crushing on everyone he probably loses his (romantic) love for you after a while.
— Butters !!
gets the hang of it super fast and is kind of protective of you when hanging around clyde and stuff, is okay with you “not being able to like someone”
kind of gets it mixed up with you not wanting to date FOREVER instead of just feeling very slow/little attraction, but the more you remind him he more he tries to screw it in his head.
he doesn’t focus much on sex and stuff like kenny does, so the asexual part is mostly just extra info from you. but he is a little bit of a lover boy (to other girls/boys) so he does get confused on that little to no romantic attraction part, (he’s still respectful <3 MY BELOVED)
if someone flirts with you he’s all like “woah fella !! they are off limits today!! move along please!!” and hates when people do dirty pick up lines on you, he just tugs on your sleeve and makes an angry face at the person
sympathizes with you more than anyone else, but he still has no idea what it is. he’s just happy his friend wanted to share a piece of sacred information with them, and just because of that he feels much better revealing his marjorine side to u. (are u lgb cuz ur gun pink… /ref)
accidentally outs you to a few people, thinking it’s a good thing but it kinda makes you upset since you don’t want it to be shared with EVERYONE. definitely apologizes 100000 times <\3 butters just wants to give the world to his bestie, but sometimes he does weigh you down
looks it up on his computer every once in a while, just to learn more about it. googles how to make a lgbt friend feel comfortable and he does some of the steps pretty wonky 😭
asks you about your identity a lot, like when you figured it out and what are the pro’s and con’s? this man is such a talker, he loves his friends and would do anything to make them feel okay (even tho nobody does it to him ☹️)
when his parent’s think you guys are dating he almost explains it to them without asking, but he encourages you to tell them you have no attraction to anyone at all. and if your uncomfortable saying it then he does it for you!!
educates himself on more things in the lgbtq community rather than aroace, it kind of bores him but anything to keep his little brain going!!
tries to not talk about it when your upset, or jus not to much in general since he doesn’t wanna look like he’s just getting gay bff points. he doesn’t care about your sexuality!! he just wants to have someone to play hello kitty adventure with, and being aroace doesn’t stop you from doing much 🫶
— Wendy !!
UNDERSTNDS IT SM since she is super educated on a lot of things and is an expert at comforting her friends, she has no problems figuring out what it means and trying to help you in the best ways possible.
doesn’t know if she should talk about her relationship with stan/bebe (depending on if u like either ship LAWL) and isn’t afraid to ask if your comfy with her talking about her struggles and non struggles.
if your comfortable with it then she’ll talk about it but tries to not be so bold about it, just small problems and if you give her advice on how to deal with them she’s forever grateful.
if your uncomfortable with it she reassures you it’s no problem and she’ll try her best to sympathize with you and your identity as much as she can.
if someone flirts with you she politely tells them your off limits, and if they keep doing it she goes mama bear mode and tells them to stop. she won’t hesitate to kick someone’s ass to make you comfy!!
never dares to even think about outing you, makes sure your comfortable and feel welcome whenever your coming out to more people with her. doesn’t push you to do anything regarding coming out!!!!
she feels like she doesn’t know more about it and always takes time out of her day to research more on the topic, what’s offensive and what’s not so she won’t fuck up and make you upset one day.
makes sure all her friends know not to flirt with you, trying her best not to out you. let’s you come out to her friends yourself and always corrects someone if they try to make a move on you.
always takes care of people if their making you upset, nobody fucks with her besties >:(
supports u during pride month and buys you all this pride stuff, she’s the typa girl to see something rainbow and text it/ show it to you saying “it’s rainbow i thought of you :)”
buys you all pride flags you want, if you have homophobic parents that don’t like the fact your being accepted for your identity she offers to keep the pride stuff at her house and jus gives it to you when you want it.
THIS WAS SO FUN TO WRITE !!! I HAD LIKE LITTLE TO NO TROUBLE FOR THESE 3 <3 sorry this was like 8 hours late omfg ☹️ i try to get everything done within one day ^^
I don't care all that much for South Park, mostly because I think the show has done way more harm than good when it comes to political discourse. But watching Alt Right chuds unironically praise Cartman on social media is fucking hilarious.
Even as a teenager I understood that the audience wasn't meant to sympathize with Cartman.
You're meant to laugh at Cartman's fucked up antics and world views. Not root for him or aspire to be like him.
Also, when South Park, a show that spent decades "Both side"-ing every major political issue is making fun of reactionaries who get worked up over women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks in nerd properties, you start to realize just how pathetic a lot of these Alt Right losers actually are.
I don't know why people fixate on the fact we're shipping those "racist cardboard cutouts" acting as if most of the fandom even empathizes with that aspect of their characters. Yes a lot of us do sorta pick and choose what to enjoy about them. Its not that I pretend that Cartman's racism doesn't exist but I just think there's more to his character than literally just that, and I admittedly put a lot of focus on those other aspects. Like I would be so fucking bored of these characters if I only judged them based on their negative traits in a show where everyone sucks. When Cartman is being a dumbass bigot in the show I know I'm supposed to not like or sympathize with his actions and I don't. But that doesn't mean its bad for me to laugh at him being a piece of shit (in a show that really wants you to know how pathetic he is) and find him interesting as a character. I feel like I always have to defend that I like Cartman so I don't come off as a bigoted freak and it sucks because people are alllll over villain characters until its one created to be a genuinely unpalatable and shitty person. If the humor of this show makes you uncomfortable honestly that's 100000% valid because I used to be that way...just don't act like I vehemently agree with every single message or episode of this show because trust me, I don't.
Crack baby athletic association was a very unfunny episode, but It also made me think quite a bit. I had quite a few thoughts throughout this episode, from minuscule things to big things:
• One of the few things I enjoyed was the black-eyed peas music. It reminds me of my childhood, since I was 4 or 5 when their music started getting really big.
• I felt like the episode could be used to demonstrate the lengths people will go to in order to justify their unethical behavior. Kyle felt like someone in denial that they were doing anything wrong. they were able to constantly rationalise everything (which I assume you have to do to work in large corporations).
• The scene with Cartman as a slave owner was the funniest part of the whole episode, both because of the southern accent he put on and because of its message.
• The one thing that really annoyed me was all the slash jokes. I didn't even know who he was until today, but pretending he's Santa seems like a pretty stupid joke. But then again, I believe KISS were Super-Heroes in a Scooby Doo movie, so anything's possible with 80s singers in fiction.
I was thinking something along the lines of "I hope they do something to ruin Kyman forever so people stop shipping it" but then I thought about it more realized this should've never became a ship to begin with. Kyle could straight up call Cartman a nazi and people would still try to justify shipping it. they somehow still sympathized with Cartman after Post Covid and "Cupid Ye" and numerous episodes before then. no matter what Cartman does people are going to defend him as if hes an innocent helpless child (which is funnier knowing Matt and Trey made this show to make fun of people who thought all kids were innocent pure angels ) i have no words.
TOLKIEN ASK THING. also stan. mayhaps a kyle or wendy if ur feeling daring
There was another ask for Kyle too so I'll do em at once
Tolkien
Sexuality headcanon - Cisgender Bisexual (Female-leaning but a strong bond or strange attraction will do it)
OTP - Stolkien, ofc
Brotp - Crolkien (Craig/Tolkien) or Tolkyle
Notp - Cartkien (?? Cartman x Tolkien)
First headcanon that pops into my head - Tolkien has a light sway when he's standing or hugging or anything and it's super calming for people, especially anxious ones
Favorite line from this character - "I'm out"
One way in which I relate to this character - Underrepresented token black friend who people tend to chalk up to stereotypes and presumptions
Thing that gives me secondhand embarrassment about this character - As a black guy, Tolkien embarrasses me for finding Tyler Perry hilarious. Shame on him.
Cinnamon roll or problematic fave - Cinnamon roll but I think those labels only go so far in South Park lol
Stan
Sexuality headcanon - Nonbinary Bisexual (Definitely not cis but he's afraid to question it)
OTP - Stolkien
Brotp - Style/Stenny
Notp - Canon Stendy (Bi4Bi/Nb4Nb Stendy is cool)
First headcanon that pops into my head - Stan wants everyone to care so hard when he comes out and nobody fucking does
Favorite line from this character - "Hey Tol-KEEN"
One way in which I relate to this character - Facing lots of expectations to lean more toward trying to live like some alpha male when in reality there's a lot of underlying emotionality and queerness. Also messy behaviors I've since moved past and sympathize with
Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - He's literally the worst boyfriend ever
cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - problematic, NEXT
OTP - Style I guess? I'm just really flexible with Kyle, and I enjoy K2 and Tolkyle a lot
Brotp - K2 and Tolkyle
Notp - Kyman, but I actually don't rly care that much, I'd say "NOTP" is a bit strong
First headcanon that pops into my head - He and Stan are better for each other when they're older, I tend to think of him pretty separately from Stan as they're growing up bc they're both really messy and have shit to work on
Favorite line from this character - "I'm poopies, Ma!"
One way in which I relate to this character - I spent a lot of time being passionate about being right but not enough about *doing* right, which led to some hypocrisies. I never resent Kyle, really, for being a mess intellectually
Thing that gives me secondhand embarrassment about this character - The way he won't get over Cartman even into his middle age, like I *get* it to a certain degree but buddy it gets embarassing
cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - he's just a guy to me. just. just a little guy.
Wendy
Sexuality headcanon - Genderfluid Polysexual (Bc of Call Girl, and I enjoy Wendyl a lot)
OTP - Tolkiendy/Bi4Bi Stendy
Brotp - Kendy/Stendy
Notp - Canon Stendy
First headcanon that pops into my head - Wendy's gonna spend time after breaking up with Stan experimenting with who she is, it'd be a little resentful but it's also natural to that really emotionally tumultuous teenage stage in life
Favorite line from this character - "Don't do that, Tweek"
One way in which I relate to this character - A strong emphasis on visibility and social equity, as well as sympathy to a fault at times. I'd want her to learn as I did that it's okay to not take care of some people who won't take care of themselves.
Thing that gives me secondhand embarrassment about this character - She keeps trying to fix Stan without understanding that he's naturally codependent and NEEDS to be taken care of, there's nothing she can do to change that herself and she's dragging herself down.
cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - problematic cinnamon roll. She's sweet and I love her but she's also lowkey sadistic and fucked up. I love it too.
It would be nice if folks could understand that people can like a character’s story, personality and even sympathize with their backstory but still hate their actions and acknowledge that they should receive karmic punishment for their deeds, or heck, that they’re a horrible person. And vice versa.
Like, I like Cartman. He’s funny and I enjoy watching him. Doesn’t the fact he is the biggest jerk in the universe (something even the show acknowledges.)
I finally finished watching The episode about The Coon after stopping it halfway through, and I honestly found it rather underwhelming.
I think my big reason for disliking it was that I sympathized too much with Cartman/The Coon. I felt the first few minutes were funny, but I stopped laughing when Mysterion showed up and stole the spotlight from Cartman. I felt bad for Cartman throughout the rest of the episode, and was upset that no one ever noticed him. Subsequently, this caused me to dislike Mysterion, almost irrationaly. The fun anecdote to accompany this is the fact that Mysterion is one of the characters I use least in tfbw, because I find his voice annoying and his personality equally so (the gruff, stoic type).
I am a little worried this opinion will anger some, because I have good reason to believe he's a popular character. Hopefully I don't, because I really don't want to feel guilty about an opinion. This is probably irrational, but I am a very high strung, neurotic and fearful person so...
