Is it just me or has Kyle become annoying with the preaching he’s been doing.
Before it was “I learnt something today...” and honestly, I watched South Park because not only was it a show my dead brother watched, but it was also inappropriately funny, but now Kyle is trying to ruin it by lecturing the characters and therefore us about our behaviour when we already hear it in our everyday lives. Why hear it in an adult cartoon?
Kyle also seems like a hypercrite. He laughs at Cartman for getting AIDS, which isn’t cool even if Cartman is an a-hole, getting a disease isn’t funny. It’s a serious issue and shouldn’t be laughed at.
He also resorts to violence in some cases, (mainly Cartman even by of he does deserve it) violence isn’t always the answer, KYLE.
Even insulting Cartman (even if he does deserve it) is that mature of Kyle to do? Wouldn’t the more mature thing to do is walk away and leave Cartman to embarrass himself? That would work a whole lot better.
I began to like Stan, Kenny and Kyle, but as the show progressed, I seem to be liking Stan and Kenny a lot more. Cartman is an a-hole, we all know, and Kyle, in my opinion, has become preachy.
I like Shelia and Gerald, despite their issues themselves, they’re parents wanting their kids to have a safe and healthy environment, like when Shelia nearly started a war because of the Terrance and Phillip movie and tried to get the Terrance and Phillip show taken off the air for its potty mouth.
Gerald, well, beside telling Kyle that Kenny’s family are poor due to the “gods and clods” in the Chickenpox episode, he trolled people, even a Danish celebrity and the country itself to create that Trolltrace program, and he put the blame on Ike, which is bad, but Gerald was also conflicted as he was feeling bad about it, while also admitting that it was just riling people up, like we all do IRL and as kids, but freaked out as well when the threat of his identity as Skankhunt42 would be released to the world, his wife included, and we all know Shelia Broflovski is a force to be reckoned with.
I am not anti Semitic. I haven’t met a Jewish person, but I am 100x♾% sure they are wonderful people.
If u disagree with my opinion on Kyle, comment as to why.
This picture of Gerald is labeled as a picture of Jesus
I'm not really sure if anyone here has followed this fanfic since I first posted about it (which is totally fine!) But just in case anyone was curious, I thought I'd post a little update.
Chapter two is coming... eventually. I have been working on it. In fact, it's about 2/3 done. So why haven't I finished it? Well, for starters, I kind of just... stopped writing for a good chunk of time? I had a rule that even if I wasn't feeling super inspired, I'd write at least something every single day. Then I skipped "just one" day, and another... and well, you get the point.
I do have a problem with starting projects and abandoning them soon after, and I really don't want that to be this series. Even if nobody reads it, I at least want the satisfaction of knowing I finished a story for once. Anyways, I suppose that's my point in making this update. I've heard that if you tell someone your goals, you're more likely to see them through, so I guess this is my way of sharing.
It's not that I have writer's block exactly, because I know exactly what's going to happen in each chapter. I already have the whole story planned out in my head, I just have trouble putting it to paper in a way I'm happy with. I could spend an eternity editing and editing to try and get the "perfect" result... but anyways, I digress.
Why don't I sit down and just write that last third or fourth of the chapter really quick? Well, it's not quite that simple. I always go over my writing at least once to fix certain things, like if I used the same adjective twice in a short amount of time, or if one of the sentences could be worded better... those sort of edits. It also lets me make sure the story flows well and nothing feels particularly out of place or choppy. As I said, I could torture myself with an eternity of making these edits. I don't want to just post whatever I have as soon as I'm done with it in order to get something out; I want to finish it, but I also want it to be something I'm proud of, you know?
But anyways, if you did like the first chapter and were hoping for more, it is coming. I haven't just abandoned the story, I've just been lazy. I'm hoping to get it out by the end of my winter break, or at the very least before the end of January. And if you don't care... well, sorry for clogging your feed with this obnoxiously long post!
15 more days until Christmas, and it’s the first day of Hanukkah! In honor of the day, today’s art is of my favorite fictional Jewish family celebrating.
The official South Park Studios YouTube channel posted this video today! I'm glad they decided to post this video, "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" is my favorite Christmas special and Kyle's Dreidel song is one of my favorites from that episode. Happy Hanukkah friends!
Context: There was a time when I enjoyed attempting to copy various cartoon characters on paper. I really enjoyed the activity and found it much easier than creating original art. However, I became concerned that doing so would degrade my original art as I don’t exactly have my own art style. But I wanted to indulge again so here are two shots from Season 20’s Fort Collins! Enjoy and tell me whether this was enjoyable or productive at all!

All requests from @Zaquarvious @HeidiTurnerStan , and @FrisktheRookie ! Everyone feel free to give more suggestions below!
(Sorry He looks strange, this is as close as I can get to his large, muscular body type)
I'm not sure if self-promoting is allowed, but I've seen other users post their fanfictions here, so I though I'd give it a shot.
Chapter 1 of Human Kite & Captain Canada is published! I saw a little bit of interest in this story when I made my "Random South Park Story Ideas" post, so I decided to go ahead and write it!
It's about Kyle teaming up with Ike and Wendy (Call Girl) to find Gerald after he goes missing. If you're interested, go ahead and check it out! All criticism is very much appreciated!
For these, I used some details from yesterday’s headcanon. Hope you enjoy!
Gerald and Shelia Broflovski
Stuart and Carol McCormick (ugh, Carol looks like Red)
Liane Cartman
Randy Marsh (didn’t make Sharon, @Fadingblizzardheart already did)
Thank you to @RR-1357 for the original idea, I decided to do my own take on it. I am using canon details and trying to make it somewhat realistic, so if you see inconsistencies with canon in my stories, let me know. Beware, it gets somewhat dark near the end so proceed with caution. Hope you all enjoy!
Randy Marsh: Born to Marvin and Susan Marsh. Unfortunately, Marvin has actually struggled with depression much of his life, and it started when Randy was about three; this affected Randy later on. From the young age of six, Randy has had a passion for music; any music. He always wanted to make his own. When he was eight, Randy was diagnosed with a severely short attention span which may (and did somewhat) slowly go away with age. When he was eleven, he finally started taking guitar lessons and it was rather intuitive for him, and so he is still quite skilled with the instrument. When Randy was 16, he met Sharon in high school, where they fell in love. They got married 7 years later, and even later had Shelly and Stan.
Sharon Marsh: Born to Charlotte and Jared Kimble. Sharon actually had a very good upbringing. As a kid, Sharon was a bookworm and especially liked fantasy stories. As mentioned in one episode, she has been a big fan of musicals since she was a teen.
Shelia Broflovski: Born to Cleo and Michael Hikisam in New Jersey. Cleo and Michael were somewhat overprotective, and somewhat influenced Shelia’s parenting style later on. She has been an activist since she was fourteen. Ironically, one of her early causes was maintaining good relationships with Canada and avoiding war with them. When she was 25, she met Gerald. They married a year later and (a few years after that) moved to South Park and had Kyle, and somewhat recently adopted Ike.
Gerald Broflovski: Born to Thomas and Lola Broflovski in New Jersey. As a kid, like Kyle, Gerald was very good at sports. However, as a young adult he decided that he we better suited to work as a lawyer. When he was 28, he met Shelia.
Liane Cartman: Born to Harold and Mabel Cartman. As a kid, she was actually kind of like Butters. She was naturally a more soft, introverted kid, and her state wasn’t helped by her very strict, short tempered parents. (Note: I headcanon that their more tame behavior that was seen in canon is due to mellowing with age and mild senility.) This made her like Butters in school: Very sweet and lacking a backbone, and bullied as a result. This later fatally influenced her later life and parenting style. She also had a “dorky” interest in art and baking. When she was seventeen, Liane was sick of her overly strict and stern household, and so she ran away from home. Unfortunately, she had very little money and was without even a high school degree, and so she became a prostitute and a porn star and never got any better career. As explained in “Cartman’s Mom is a Dirty Slut” and “201”, she a few years later attended the Drunken Barn Dance of that year, and slept with many people, including Jack Tenorman. She got pregnant with his accidental child and so Eric was born.
Stuart McCormick: Born to Jonathan and Mary McCormick. Depression runs in the family: Mary’s father, Mary, and Stuart have severe depression. This also created a bad environment for Stuart. Due to both these genetic and environmental factors, from ages 12 to 19 he woke up every morning disappointed that he had not died in his sleep. Then, he met Carol. In his eyes, Carol was the most beautiful, witty, passionate goddess he had ever met. They quite quickly met, became friends, became much more than friends, and got quietly married. Upon marriage proposal, Stuart promised that together they would build their own house and have beautiful children. Carol would drop out of school and let him handle money making. Stuart would get a loan, get an education and get a good job to provide for them. Or so he promised. Unfortunately, he tried and tried to apply for a loan, but he couldn’t. After many attempts to make good money, he again became hopeless, felt rejected, and became a drug addict and an alcoholic. Carol went down with him.
Carol McCormick: Born to Jeff and Margaret Borev. Carol had a good upbringing, and was pretty chill and fairly well-liked as a kid. She was evidently on a good path in life, and decided to pursue a career in law. One fateful night, Carol (20 at this time) stopped her studying for the day and took a walk in the park, where she saw Stuart. In Stuart, Carol saw a beautiful, deep, loving soul where all others saw a rat with trashy clothing and stupid hair. They quickly became friends, more than friends, and husband and wife. They had three beautiful children, but it gradually occurred to them that it all barely mattered. The world apparently hated them, on account of the fact that them and their children had nothing and could get nothing. To cope with this and their young son’s constant violent misfortune, they turned to heavy drugs and alcohol.
Did you like these headcanons? If I made any mistakes tell me below. Also, should I make more?
Okay, I know I've ranted before about how much I disliked the politics in South Park. So it probably seems odd, even hypocritical for me to say that I actually didn't mind this season. Trust me, even I was surprised.
But I really didn't think it was half bad.
I think the reason was that I kind of disconnected myself from South Park in order to watch it. Basically, I didn't look at it as a season of South Park, but rather prepared myself for a long, serialized story instead, and it kind of worked. I liked the Member Berries plot. I liked the Skanhunt plot. And, dare I say it, I even liked President Garrison. (At least in the first half. I'll get to that later.)
I genuinely found myself invested in the story. I found myself excited to see the next episode. It really didn't have that bad of a story, if I'm being honest; my biggest problem was that most of the plot points weren't really resolved, (again, I'll get to that later,) but it was still really entertaining. It was a shockingly serious season, more so than I ever expected it to be. It took the characters seriously, which was something I guess I'd been craving for a while. I didn't think I ever wanted a serious South Park, but it was really satisfying, if just for this one season.
Maybe it was because I was kind of tired while I watched it, or maybe I was just in the right headspace for a story like this, but it was a nice balance of goofy and outrageous situations while having a genuinely riveting plot, and I liked it.
Now, despite this season heavily featuring the series' equivalent to Trump, it wasn't exclusively political. Rather, it weaved the political plot points into the main story, making them relevant to the story but not its main feature. That made it feel less like I was wasting my time being told things I already knew, as I complained about in season 8. It was all there for a reason.
And I found Mr. Garrison's characterization throughout the first two thirds of the season... really good, actually. If you didn't already know, he realizes early on that he has no idea how to make good on all the things he promised his followers, and tries to sabotage his own campaign, and obviously his followers and sponsors aren't happy about this. It all culminates into a really tense climax where Garrison tries to escape the government and the angry mob of supporters, eventually finding himself with Randy's Member Berry support group. And as it turns out, the Member Berries had quite the role in the success of Garrison's campaign. It all ends with Garrison telling the people of America not to vote for him in order to stop depending so much on nostalgia and days of all. (It makes sense in context, I swear.)
Problem is, Trump won the election. And the writers couldn't just ignore that. You may have heard that the biggest problem with season 20 is that Matt Stone and Trey Parker had not been expecting Trump to win, so it really messed with the way the season turned out. This was very obvious to me when I watched Oh, Jeez. They clearly had plans to end this conflict right here, with Hillary winning and Garrison free to return to teaching, but in real life, things don't always go to plan.
They actually had a pretty good set up to continue this story, with Garrison being drugged by the Member Berries and convinced that he wanted to be a good president, but it just... didn't go anywhere. It seemed like they tried to bring it up when Garrison had a moment where he was like, "I don't know what I'm doing here," but that too went nowhere. No mention of the Member Berries or Caitlyn Jenner who they seemed to be setting up to be a new villain, nothing. Which is sad because this whole Member Berries had a good amount of potential and could've allowed the writers to recover pretty seamlessly, but I guess it was just too little too late.
That's the big problem with season 20. There are like 5 main plot points, and really only two of them got resolved. They all just kind of fizzled out, put on the back burner in order to focus entirely on Heidi and Cartman and the Skankhunt plot.
Now, I didn't absolutely hate this because we got to focus a lot on the Broflovskis in the last few episodes, which I'm always down for. And really, these guys all got some amazing moments. Kyle was absolutely awesome, which was so refreshing to see after how much he got royally screwed in the last few seasons. (And now I'm terrified for season 21, because I've heard some not so great things.) Ike was also great, though he usually is. I won't lie, it felt like Gerald was acting pretty out of character, but I can forgive that since we haven't seen enough of him to form a solid idea of what he's like anyway. Regardless, he made a surprisingly good antihero-esque character to follow. I hated him for throwing Ike under the bus and insulting Kyle, and he clearly hadn't learned his lesson in the end, but a flawed character isn't necessarily a bad one. I already talked about Sheila in another discussion post, but basically, this season made me love her more as a person and dislike her more as a parent.
Randy was also not bad. He wasn't acting quite so goofy and dumb, actually figuring out the bad influence of the Member Berries before anyone else. If I remember correctly, there were no Randy moments this season that made me groan or roll my eyes, so... yeah, that's pretty good, I'd say.
Now, as for Heidi and Cartman... it's funny, I actually started the season just to see how their relationship fleshed out, but it ended up being one of my least favorite storylines. It just didn't really connect to the rest of the story, aside from the beginning when Skankhunt makes Heidi quit Twitter and leads the boys to destroy all of Cartman's electronics. I get that that's kind of the point, that being without the internet has caused them to become disconnected from everything that's going on, but that doesn't mean I liked it. And the relationship just felt so... artificial. Cartman is forcing himself to believe that Heidi is super smart and funny, and that bit just kind of got old if I'm being honest. Despite Heidi actually being genuinely really smart, he ends up doubting their relationship because she's not actually funny. He is unable to accept her because she isn't perfect. This is very in character for Cartman, but it also made me sad for Heidi, like she was just being egged on this whole time for nothing.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Heidi enough in this season, but I had a lot higher expectations. She felt a bit generic and not as single-minded as I thought she would be. It felt like she was just kind of being dragged around by Cartman the whole time, barely protesting when he wants to go to Mars and leave both of their families behind. I really hope that season 21 does her more justice, because she seemed so likeable in White People Renovating Houses!
On a bit of a bummer note, though, this season really felt like one big episode. Much as I enjoyed it, it still felt like nothing really had an impact on anything in the big picture. Like Kyle and Ike's relationship with Gerald won't change, Garrison has just kind of accepted his place as President for no reason, and everything will return to status quo shortly. Sure, Heidi and Cartman are still together, but the writers have already set up their downfall by the end of season 20 (though honestly, in my opinion the relationship was doomed to fail from the beginning.) I haven't actually seen season 21 yet, so maybe I'll be proven wrong, but that's just what it felt like, like the writers are trying to convince me that everything's back to normal. Which kind of goes against the big moral point of the season.
Maybe I should be glad that South Park can return to normal, but it kind of makes me feel like all that investment I put into the season was for nothing. That's what I mean by the whole season was one big episode. A story that begins and is resolved within itself, and everything starts over for next time. But it's not as easy to just discard everything that happened in this season when it took itself so seriously.
It was fun while it lasted, though, and at the very least I enjoyed this dive into what South Park would be like if it were a serious, serialized show.
