As someone very, very protective of this show's black and/or Jewish characters… Your Tolkien is great. That jacket with those shoes and the high top fade is A+++

HEY APRIL I LOVE YOUR WRITING! I know you have OCs but which ones are your favorite? (yours or someone elses)

omg thank you, I love this question!! 💚🧡💙💔

The credits are included in each write up, but this post includes OCs, artwork, scripts, fics and audio from me, @short-story-unhappy-ending, @angel-gone-dark, @kats-spblog, @musturdslt, @used-to-love-her-06, @fennecfiree and of course @south--of--nowhere

💖Charli Lafayette

Origin: South Park Bridgerton script, @short-story-unhappy-ending (comic adaptation) Artwork by: @short-story-unhappy-ending, @kats-spblog, @angel-gone-dark and @south--of--nowhere Audio by: @musturdslt Charli is such cutie! She's Haitian and Jewish! She has Queef Sisters PJs! I love all the romance tropes and romcom references in the script, which makes sense because it's a Bridgerton satire, but omg! The fake relationship!! The arguing!! the sleep-cute!! Shoving those tropes into a South Park script and keeping it authentically SP sounds impossible but it works.

Charli and Kyle have great chemistry because she has a really distinct personality, that makes her a really a fun foil for him. Another weird thing I like is that Charli Lafayette and Kyle Broflovski have the same amount of syllables in their names??

So much thought went into her character and it shows! I think that's why she's the most popular character on this list. There's even an audio clip of what Charli would sound like speaking Creole on the show and it's SO CUTE.

💖Riley

Origin: My New Kid!!!! Artwork from: FBW, Piccrew Riley was my very first South Park OC!! I love her so much, she is everything!! She's the moment! She has selective mutism, which can really complicate her life. Writing a fic with a character that doesn't speak but still communicates was challenging, but fun.

Riley is loyal to a fault. She will always go out of her way to help others - even to her own detriment. She's quite intelligent, but also incredibly naive. She's Ethiopian and Jewish.

Riley and Kyle will often meet up at the synagogue on Saturdays and talk shit about Cartman. She bonded with Kenny over having shitty parents. Sometimes they'll both sneak out of the house and patrol in their supersonas together.

Her superhero name is Joystick - because she breaks all the games they play (SOT, FBW, Snow Day) by being way too OP. 💔

💖 Martine Guede

Origin: Warm Blood (18+ content) by ME! Artwork by: me, @angel-gone-dark Martine is an average girl... She speaks French and plays piano. She got dumped by Kyle. She's a villain working for Professor Chaos. She practices Voodoo and Hoodoo! She is a psychopomp, Descended from Gede Nibo -- a Lwa, and the Patron of People Who Die From Unnatural Causes. Which means she can remember Kenny's deaths because she is a member of the Gede/Guede. I love the villain/hero romance between her and Mysterion. Kenny and Martine falling for each other and doing the enemies to lovers trope (While she thinks he's unaware of her secret identity!!) is EVERYTHING to me. I love them so much. She's half black and half French (I was inspired by Charli, let me LIVE) and her relationships with Kenny and Kyle such a tangled little web. The flashback chapter when Kyle and Stan meet Martine is one of my favorite things.

💖Leigh

Origin: He's Got His Mother's Hips (18+) by @angel-gone-dark Artwork by: @angel-gone-dark Leigh is just your average trans boy trying to survive in South Park... Oh, and he's a pretty powerful villain. He might be dating Professor Chaos. And might have a thing with Mysterion. Oh! By the way, did I happen to mention that he's besties with a girl named April? What a coincidence! 😉 Honestly, Leigh is super compelling as a protagonist and he's a fucking OP villain. I wonder what would happened if he faced off against Riley!? South Park probably wouldn't survive lol.

💖Aviv

Origin: @used-to-love-her-06 Artwork by: Piccrew Aviv is the only OC on this that's not from the South Park fandom! She's a Slipknot girlie. Aviv's story spans 27 years! Which is honestly so fucking cool! Like I'm not jealous someone came up with that idea before me. I am totally not inspired to make PC-aged OC or anything... Aviv is Jewish and a fucking rock star... How could I not love her?

💖Tiffany

Origin: South Park (Unnamed BG Character) Artwork by: @south--of--nowhere, @angel-gone-dark & @fennecfiree Tiffany is a background character that me and my friends kind of adopted. She's a total cutie and I love her design so much!! She was named after the Fall Out Boy song Tiffany Blews.

PREACH!! The way this fandom treats Kyle is so gross sometimes. They really wanna shove Kyle into this neurotic nerdy stereotype when he is probably the one of the main four with the strongest sense of self.

He's the best basketball player on the team, he's passionate about it - one of the reasons he was excited to go out with Nichole was because she also liked basketball!

We are going to ignore the part where he became a villain from Get Out because I don't have the bandwidth to unpack that right now lol - but I do think it's worth noting that I think one of the reasons Kyle latches on to Black culture (He's closest to Chef, "I watch UPN, I listen to hiphop, I like basketball" etc) is because he also feels a little disconnected from the white/catholic hegemony as the only Jewish kid. (This is also why I go nuts for Charli - she's Jewish!! thanks @short-story-unhappy-ending)

Don't get me started on the people who ship him with a white supremacist and draw him in nazi uniforms.

I understand when people don't like harmful stereotypes being potrayed in the fandom due fanfictions etc.

Like Kyle being a wimpy Jew or being bad in sports. Which in canon is both wrong. And if you are Jewish, I understand if that offends you even more. ( It would annoy me aswell)

Or Stan's mental health problems or addictions are being romanticised/ vilanized, he is potrayed as the victim. His struggles are there for some aesthetic. 🌠 Alcoholism🌌. Which in canon he handles his struggles better compared in most stories.

Or Kenny being potrayed as trash just because he is poor.

I don't get when people complain about Stan being a jock, he is. He isn't just a jock. But he IS a jock. Out of the 4 he shows the most interest in sports and in Canon is captain in two sport teams. Of course it's lazy and unoriginal to just potray Stan as a jock in highschool fanfictions, and ignore his other interests. But that isn't Worth whining about imo. Same as Stan being written as a Ladies man. I don't think he is. But even if, so what?? What is the problem? Because he was awkward around girls when he was 8 9 10? ( He isn't even that awkward around girls anymore either). That's like saying Kyle won't have a girlfriend in Highschool cause he never had one yet. And when some see these stories they like to go to the other extreme end which is, Stan stays a Virgin until his 20's.

And Kyle isn't more interested in sports or more of a jock than Stan is. It does make more sense that Stan would be in the football Team in Highschool than Kyle in the Basketball Team. Kyle is not in the school Basketball Team. Or where was he in Season 12 Episode 13? Stans room is full with football related stuff, where is the same with Kyle with Basketball? Kyle's interest in Basketball is brought up when it's Relevant for the story. Yes I would enjoy reading stories where Kyle is in a Team during highschool. But don't go around complaining when he is not and act like he is supposed to be more of a jock than Stan is just to counterargue.

i should be able to track the fact that i read this whole post on goodreads

Fandom Problem #7709:

An alarming amount of "fans" of a character make it clear that they only, at best, only like the character's general design or vibes by changing or rewriting that character's story, history, and personality beyond recognition and then demanding that the new tale or personality must be canon and true.
