Doctor Kenneth McCormick & The Beautiful Concept of ‘Love To The Point of Invention’

Okay! So I could not stop thinking about the dynamic between Dr. McCormick and Victor Chaos, and more importantly— chapter 13 of my fic… I’m sorry y’all. It’s just,,, there was so much discussed in this chapter and I just wanted to talk about it MORE. I wanted to voice everything out, even revealing some behind the scenes stuff, implications, deleted paragraphs, investigative research, and my thought process throughout the chapter. It was a long one; it could’ve been longer, but I genuinely forced myself to stop. Anyway, feel free to read my very own ‘directors cut’! Just letting you know ahead of time that it WILL be containing spoilers for Chapter 13 of ‘I Will Make of You’ and my one-shot (Un)Forbidden Love.

The backstory starts off as newly graduated Kenny and Butters, with Butters asking him to run away together. The reason for his hesitation is explored on (Un)Forbidden Love, but actually a big scene I cut out [and was going to be featured in this chapter] was —

The one where Kevin gifts his truck to Kenny and Butters. I was planning on hinting that Butters had explained his plan to Kevin beforehand, and had asked for his help into getting a truck of his own. Kevin, being literally the coolest person ever, basically told him that they can take his truck, and he will be gifting it to them. Butters and Kevin go back and forth about it, Butters being “no, I can’t possibly take yours! That’s unfair and selfish”, until Kevin hits him with the “I’m not doing it for you, it’s for him. We both want Kenny to be happy.” Obviously, Kenny doesn’t know this conversation happened 🥹, but caring older brother Kevin tugs at my heartstrings. I also wanted to add a tidbit where Kevin is helping them pack their things in the truck, he whispers to Leo to “make him happy and give Ken the life he deserves.” KILL ME NOW, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

—

Moving on past their new established relationship, we get the first hints of Vic’s negotiating skills. It is already established in the canon universe of the Post Covid South Park specials that Kenny is a very talented scientist who’s done all these amazing things— but we also find out that Butters (Vic Chaos) is the one that actually funds all of Dr. McCormick’s projects! I tried to mess around with this concept in my own story, but the one thing I always wondered was: What made Kenny want to become a scientist in the first place?

Love to the Point of Invention

I think there is something so pure, and so genuinely beautiful about loving someone so much, you’re capable of inventing something revolutionary BECAUSE of them. There are many examples of this actually happening in real life:

Kenny seeing Butters come home— fatigued and stressed from all the workload— it motivated him into creating something to help Butters feel better. And it not just worked, but someone actually bought Kenny’s invention. Of course, if it wasn’t for Butters [Chaos’s] negotiating tactics, they wouldn’t have secured the millions of dollars that helped them get into an Ivy League Uni.

Personally, I feel like Kenny truly is talented when it comes to being an inventor, but both in canon and in IWMOY, his main motivators where always the people he loves. Butters is also canonically good at running a business, and his Vic Chaos persona proves that he’s capable of getting some good money off of investors. Scientist Kenny who invents all these crazy things and Vic Chaos who invests, sells, markets, funds his inventions— It’s literally a match made in heaven y’all 😞, they’re a power duo!

—

There are a lot of other things I want to get into but I’m going to skip ahead a bit to talk about the main event of this chapter: Cooper’s creation! I’ve always headcanon that Stan and Kyle are more family oriented and the more likely to have kids first, while Kenny isn’t as caring about the concept. So when Kenny witnessed their joy and Butters cuddling up with a baby, it sort of planted him with an image of a family in his head. What really sold the idea was that conversation he had with Butters. Kenny wasn’t aware that Butters was having daydreams of starting a family with him until that very night 🥲, it once again motivated him into creating something that will make Butters’ daydream a reality. LOVE! CREATION!!

Now, the concept of bringing a human to life in the ‘non-traditional’ sense is actually very complex AND controversial 💀. I was aware that there were some negative views towards the study of human cells and artificial wombs, but I didn’t know just how bad it’s perceived… Bro, even IVF and surrogacy are still somewhat frowned upon. I’m the type of person that even if it’s not mentioned or come up in my essays, I still do extensive research so I can get a general idea of what I’m writing about. For Cooper’s ‘birth,’ there were three main things that needed to be focused:

The study of cells and how to make gametes of two people of the same sex to successfully produce a zygote (fertilized cell/embryo)

Artificial Wombs, how they work, and how will they function for a developing human fetus

The weekly development of a baby and what they will need inside a womb to grow/develop healthy

All of these things have their own concerns that required different forms of investigation, and it brought up a lot of moral dilemmas that I REALLY (and I mean really) overthought during the entirety of my research and writing process.

One

In real life, the use of animals for scientific purposes is controversial because, let’s be real— no one wants animals to be abused for humanity’s own desire to learn. Hell, I wouldn’t want that either! Yet, in my fic, Kenny does use lab mice and monkeys and it’s actually an integral component for this experiment. Personally, I do believe there is an ethical way we could use mice and monkeys for research; and that’s if the experiment doesn’t cause deadly risks and physical or psychological harm to the animals. You can let me know your thoughts! I feel like Kenny would actually be less empathetic about it than Stan, which is why I made him call Kenny out on it. Lol. Getting that out of the way, how would Kenny use those animals to reach his goal?

Lab mice are actually used to this day, and they’re a valuable species for the study of human biology, pathology, etc.. Mice have 20 chromosomes in their haploid genome, their gestation period takes on average 19-21 days, their genetic complexity is pretty low; there’s also low ethical concerns due to their rapid reproduction, small size, and short lifespan. Scientist already have a general understanding of their genetics so it makes the testing more straightforward. Kenny will definitely find more early success and failures during this section since the breakthrough can be proof that conception is possible with two species of the same sex.

I stated this in chapter 13, but the next animal they tested on was the Rhesus Macaque; they’re the primates most genetically and physiologically similar to humans. A single rhesus macaque contain 21 pairs of chromosomes, gestation period is roughly 166 days, and their maternal health has a big influence to a baby’s development much like a human. Kenny testing with these animals will help bridge the gap, enhance the technology, and address any issues that happen throughout the process. But since they’re pretty similar to humans, especially with their reproductive biology, it raises more ethical questions than with the lab mice. The failed attempts of gestation, fetal development, and the long-term health would be very hard to ignore. This step would take significantly more time and patience, lots of care will need to be taken place before ANYTHING becomes feasible. So once everything is overcome, then we could possibly move to humans.

The ultimate and final goal would be testing this technology with humans. Human genomes are extremely complex, they have 23 pairs of chromosomes (which is 46 in each cell), gestation is roughly 9 months, human embryos require precise conditions, and their long-term health need to be carefully monitored years after their birth. The testing of this would definitely be frowned upon by society. Realistically, we would need highly advanced technological breakthroughs to make this happen— it is very likely Kenny would’ve gruesomely fail this step many times. But I didn’t want to make him suffer the losses of his potential children :(, that’s too cruel. Besides, Cooper is a strong kid, and Kenny used his cursed blood to create him!

Overall, it truly isn’t scientifically possible for two species of the same sex to procreate because their biological mechanisms lack the components for fertilization (yet👀). They’ll probably need to reprogram or edit genes and cells to transform at least one male gamete into an egg-like cell. (I’ve sort of drawn inspiration from stuff like CRISPR-Cas9). Then, similar to that of IVF, mimic the fertilization of both of the cells, continue editing the genes to make them compatible, remove any harmful mutations that might occur, and ensure the embryo has the necessities for proper development. What I’m trying to get at is that either Kenny or Butter’s gametes had to be transformed into an egg so that Cooper could exist [and also Tweek and Craig for Emilio if you think about it] 🫢. Y’all can decide on whose cell it was.

Two

Artificial wombs are an actual thing being developed and tested— mice embryos have been used on clear rotating vials and they’ve actually attempted to use an artificial womb for a premature lamb who needed help with their lungs! When I first thought of using the concept of an artificial wombs back when I was drafting this story, the first images that came to my mind were something like the scenes from ‘I Am Mother.’

This technology was my main inspiration for Cooper’s creation because— really guys— how else would Kenny and Butters have a biological kid of their own if not with the use of advanced technology 😭??? Before I reached this scene, even as far back when I revealed the explanation back in chapters 2 and 8, I didn’t think much about this; truly, I wasn’t even thinking of making a big deal about it. But then it was time for me to finish drafting chapter 13, and I decided to make more research on the concept, then this video by Cleo Abram appeared on my recommended!

It completely changed my perspective on the concept and even made me want to tread with the idea more carefully. I really recommend watching it if you’re interested on what I’m going to be talking about. I didn’t realize how controversial or even the complexity of it. So, not only did I do research, but I also did a deep dive on motherhood and pregnancy 🤓….

Let me start with the negative conversations: The main issue people have with it is that this technology breaks the ‘idea of childbirth’ and the ‘beauty of pregnancy.’ Many mothers believe that it’s an amazing thing to grow a human inside of them, and they feel some type of bond between their child as they grow. It’s a sacred thing and ‘part of being a woman’, and they don’t want technology to take that away from them. *Though the concept of artificial wombs being an actual thing is purely fictional and theoretical, I’d like to point out that alternatives such as surrogacy and IVF are real options and even those are controversial till this day*

The positive side: some mothers believe that this technology could be a great alternative since child birth can be very dangerous to certain women whose biology doesn’t allow them to carry, or can’t conceive at all. Others simply don’t want to experience the labor. Pregnancy in general could be a very difficult thing for both the mother and a baby, this alternative could help alleviate those concerns.

In my heart of hearts, I couldn’t make Kenny be the one to invent this because honestly, he just wouldn’t understand; Heidi Turner was the best decision in my opinion. I always wanted to make her be a part of Kenny’s scientist team, and this experiment felt like the right opportunity. I don’t feel qualified to put my two cents on the topic, so I’m gonna end this segment by quoting what one of my friends said.

“For starters, I don’t want to have kids of my own, nor do I plan on ever becoming pregnant due to my own personal circumstances. But if I were to have a choice, I would like this to be one of my options. I have heard both the horrors and positives of what pregnancy does to a woman and it makes me not want to be pregnant even more. In the end, idk what the process would look like, let alone the aftermath of both my and the babies health. Of course not everyone would agree, and maybe there would pushback for this sort of advancement, but I feel like we should instead focus on the idea of giving women more alternatives to choose what they could do with their own bodies instead of being self righteous about what’s natural or not.” -Lyn

Three

Y’all 💀 a baby developing in a womb is really no easy task. We don’t know what happens inside a uterus when a baby is inside, it’s not like we can peek inside a womb, so we mostly just go by the current research of the weekly gestational period. But I tried my best to sum up how the process would be like. A fetus in an artificial womb would have to be in an environment that replicates the uterus. Nutrients and oxygen need to be exchanged, facilitate waste, hormonal changes that happen during pregnancy need to be mimicked, temperature and pH need to be regulated, amniotic fluid is important for allowing a fetus to move— well, pregnancy is complicated. Not to mention how foreign and disconnecting it could be for a baby to develop outside of their mother’s womb, that connection could be crucial too, no machine can mimic that warmth and feeling, and I made sure Heidi be the one to point that out.

Literally a single wrong move could be the end. It’s a very high level risk… This is a gamble with human life. Everything could go so wrong in many ways if they aren’t careful. Nothing about this could be considered natural.

No matter how you view it, what Kenny is doing is selfish. He is messing with natural order of life to have a son of his own with his husband. He knows this more than anyone else. That’s why when Craig also wanted to try to have a son of his own using this method, Kenny felt displeased. Craig CANNOT be having a spur-of-the moment baby fever, this isn’t something to FOMO about— this is a human they are attempting to create. Conscious human life. If they die in the middle of gestation, or they suffer long-term— it is entirely on their selfish fault. I wanted to add a scene where Kenny straight up tells Craig “NO” and that he wasn’t ready for it. It would lead to a big thing where even Tweek gets involved and explains his side and wheewww would it have turned out way longer.

Though this entire experiment was kinda Kenny’s sort of selfish desire of creating a family— it’s that LOVE he has for Leo that pushes him to invent this (love, invention…. *sighs*), and it was love for his son that pushed to save him in the end. It really is romantic and beautiful to deeply love someone 🙁..

This is such a heavy and interesting concept that I feel could bring on a lot of conversation to the table, I want this to be an open discussion so feel free to comment your thoughts and opinions. I also want to iterate that I AM NOT A SCIENTIST NOR AM I AN EXPERT IN ANY OF THESE CONCEPTS OR TOPICS THAT I’VE DISCUSSED. IM JUST SOME SILLY AND STUPID GUY WHO WRITES SOUTH PARK FANFICTION ☠️

—

Small little things I like to add from this chapter:

Craig living in Houston because he worked for NASA is so funny to me. Idk much about how they work over there but I do know that those roads and highways are no joke. Bro was fighting for his life in those 14 lane roads 😭. They always have construction and accidents too, shit is stressing me just thinking about it </3

Stan and Kyle being family oriented feels so right to me, and Stan getting cold feet because he doesn’t want to end up like Randy 💔 my shaylaaa. Idk what’s it like to be a parent so I hope Stan’s dialogue felt realistic 🙁. I didn’t want to include too much of how they adopted Robin, but I also wanted to give a bit of a recapped explanation that was somewhat realistic. Cartman’s death and the adoption happening around the same time would obviously stress them even more so I feel like anxiety is normal in the situation. It worked out in the end tho hehe 🫶, and it was thanks to this scene that motivated Kenny into starting his family.

Butters saying Cooper was “cooped up in there” and didn’t “want him to feel lonely” down there ☹️

I also wanted to add a bit of background Tweek being an engineer and more of Doctor Heidi Turner, but,,,,,,, chapter too long. We did decent amount of Heidi content tho, but no Tweek. He will appear in chapter 14 y’all 🙏Trust.

Anywho— I feel like I went overboard with this deep dive but if you have any input with the topics discussed or the dynamics between Kenny and Butters as Doctor McCormick and Vic Chaos, or literally anything else, please feel free to share 🥹

[purplepeptobismol]

In IWMOY it's said that Emilio had a lot of girlfriends so I'm kinda curious on their reactions to just being his beard cuz it's not everyday you go out with the school heartthrob only for him to be gay and inlove with his childhood friend

This is where I hit you with the—

Actually 🤓☝️, you’re wrong.

Emilio didn’t have a lot of girlfriends. Max he had throughout 6th-8th grade is like four gfs in total 😭. I know I don’t go into too much detail in the fic, but here are some snippets that help point that out.

From Cooper’s POV, we learn that he gets asked out by a lot of girls in and out of school because duh he’s a very attractive guy. This only started around the time they entered middle school because beforehand, he was more open about his anxiety.

Emilio is actually very mindful about who he chooses as a partner. I talked about Stacy in this post explaining how I think Emilio viewed their relationship. Clearly, he has a type, and he don’t even know it ☠️… that’s why he doesn’t pursue anything with Agatha (if, we go through the path of her actually asking him out seriously).

Emilio actually hates being referred to as a playboy.

It’s why he gets pissed off when Cooper refers him as one. Emilio isn’t a playboy, and he doesn’t want to be seen as one— he’s said this to Cooper multiple times too.

“I told you to stop calling me that, I’m not going out with every girl that asks me out.”

This line holds true, Emilio really doesn’t go out with every girl that asks him out, nor does he play around with them. He just gets asked out a lot 🙁 which is an inconvenience because my boy has bottled up anxiety and he pretends to be all cool to keep up appearances.

I’d just like to re-establish, Emilio isn’t a calm, collected character (like you’d expect fanon Craig to be). That’s just a personality he’s adopted; bro is pretending. And you see him crack out of it when he’s grieving with Cooper. No offense, but Emilio’s kinda a loser 💀— it’s only because he’s hot, (pretending to be) nonchalant, and rich that’s what making him stand out.

I’ve accidentally made Emilio an extremely complex and dynamic character and it won’t get explored in IWMOY because that’s not the main focus of the fic 🙁 sorry y’all. Hope yall don’t mind…

[purplepeptobismol]

OK so I was listening to August by Taylor Swift and I was thinking of Stacy, like does she already know Emilio was never hers and still wished they could have worked knowing that he loves Cooper before Mr. Internalized Homophobia realized it to?

Honestly, I feel like Stacy did not give a fuck about Emilio ☠️. When I imagine their relationship, I always though it was exactly what it was: Middle School Relationship. Pretty girl and pretty boy went out just cuz, they last a couple months, fizzle out, break up, move on. I always saw Stacy as a more “I’m not even gonna stress about it, I don’t have time for all that 💅” (which kind of reminds me of a co worker of mines lol). I always saw her with someone like Adrien Black or along that social/popular spectrum. She’s the type of person that will actually fall in love with someone who is on her preppy league, and Emilio was definitely NOT it💀 he’s literally just cute and played a bit of basketball…. He don’t even fuck with basketball like that, he just joined it to look cool ig. Bro likes race cars 😭….

As for Agatha, that’s a different story. When she asked to talk with Emilio, three possibilities came into my mind. She is the type of person to NOT fall in love with someone like Emilio; feels out of character in my opinion. So when she asked Emilio out, I like to think she was either: dared to ask him out, she said something completely different and Emilio lied, or (my absolute favorite) she actually asked about Cooper. YUP!!! Though, I do believe Emi and Aggie do get along pretty well, realistically for me, her personality/character is the type to find Cooper the more attractive. She’s goth, fascinated with the aspects of life and death, and has certain political and moral stances that I think align with Cooper’s. And that.. will most definitely charm her. Yeah, Cooper and Agatha would actually get along— if only Cooper didn’t have eyes for only Emilio 😟 homo.

Lmao, but imagine a scenario where Agatha asks Emilio to talk in private, and he thinks he’s gonna get asked out again, only for her to ask about Cooper because she likes him. Ouhh— *ifhy instrumental starts playing* Like I said, Emilio is the VERY jealous type.

Emilio might be attractive, and gets asked by girls a lot. But Cooper’s got unspoken swag that can make people crush on him 😮‍💨

[purplepeptobismol]

SHSHS I KNOW THEYRE BACKGROUND CHARACTERS but- do you have HCS for Robin and Isa ???? I loved the little snippets of Robin and baby her in chapter 13 ??? TOO CUTE AA 💕💕

I’ve been waiting for someone to say this because I absolutely DO have fun little facts about these two 😫🙏‼️

—

Robin Marsh-Broflovski

Very laid back and chill and has a small circle of friends

When she was a little kid, the only way Kyle got her to eat her vegetables was when he will eat them in front of her and say something like “you can’t eat it because it’s grown up food.” She will then beg to eat them because she was “grown enough” to eat vegetables. Grew up to really love cooked broccoli

studious queen 🗣️

very artistically talented, she’s always doing insane sketches, but doesn’t pursue art— she only does it as a form of expression more than anything

into psychology and human anatomy

has really thick curly hair and Kyle helped maintain it and keep it healthy (Grandma Sheila also helped!)

Stan loved styling her hair when getting ready for school when she was a kid (and little Robin liked it too. She always looked forward to this little morning routine)

wore the ushanka hat a bit around elementary, but stopped wearing after a year or so. When she left for out of state college, she brought it with her and wears it on occasion

got her first tattoo on her 18th birthday. She designed it, and Stan accompanied her when she got it.

When she’s in college, though she doesn’t admit it out loud, she tends to get really home sick and misses her family a whole lot. Kyle calls/texts her as much as he can (literally misses her so much and bawled his eyes out when he helped her move to her dorm). But, she does face time her family around the weekends 🥲

Isabella Marsh-Broflovski

plays the electric guitar!! Stan taught her everything she knows <3

got into skateboarding at the age of 5

The best way to describe her personality is canon South Park boys 💀 (or; early season Stan and Kyle). Girl is unhinged

has an undercut because her hair felt to heavy (and yes, she attempted to do it herself. Kyle and Stan had to take her to a hair salon to get it fixed)

sends brain rot content to Emi and Coop in their group chat LMAOO (knows chronically online stuff before it gets to them)

gets along with Grandpa Randy 😭 and it sends Stan into cardiac arrest every time he drags her to one of his adventures

likes to get into deep talks and debates with Kyle. When they disagree on something, they get louder and louder to prove their point. It never gets too serious tho cuz most of the time, Isa is just trying to rile her dad up by hitting him with some shit like “well if you don’t agree, then you hate women 🥱. You don’t hate women, right dad? 🫢 unless….” and Kyle would just go “WHERE DID THAT EVEN COME FROM?!? WHAT?!?! HELLO?!!”

Has the same laugh Stan has, they even snort the same way

Loves hanging out with Uncle Kenny because she thinks he’s cool, and considers Cooper as her cousin. “That’s my cuzz fr💯”

will not hesitate to throw hands at anyone. Do NOT get on her bad side !!!

They’re absolutely my favorites 🫶 I sooooo wanted to include them more in the story. Ahhhhhhhh, I love these two dumbasses and their silly little daughters <3

[purplepeptobismol]

This is literally Kenny and baby Coop:

[purplepeptobismol]

Dios amo tu fic :)))))))

Una pregunta (En español porque me da pereza)

En tu au existe Jimmy (El es genial y me encantaría saber que le pasó a mi bro, además de ser comediante porque mi bro se merece toda la felicidad del mundo)

Y, quienes son los compañeros de Kate (la gente necesita más contenido de Kate, incluso yo ya la estoy dibujando por necesidad con traje de graduación porque, porque no???)

Bueno en resumen, me encanta tu fic asique creo que me lo tatuare

-🍵

Bienvenido anon 🍵!!! :3c que felicidad que te gusto mi fic 😫🫶

Honestamente, no ahí mucho información que te puedo dar de Jimmy en my au;;; 🤔Supongo que siguió el mismo camino que escogió en el especial de Post Covid— la de comediante. Sí te puede decir, que terminó apareció en el funeral de Kate y Butters en el capítulo 11 🥲🥲

Hice un post de Kate y unos dibujos si quieres más contenido 😌✨!! No e pensado muchos en sus compañeros de clase, pero definitivamente— ella tiene un poco de popularidad en la esquela 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️!!! La chica es muy amigable que los estudiantes y personal de la escuela la ADORAN jajajajaa

Pero cuando termines, porfavor enséñame el dibujo 🥹👉👈 ¡porfis porfis!

[purplepeptobismol]

gimme more Kate headcanons I love her so much

Of course anon 🤎🩵

I love Kate so much, and it sucks that she’s only a background character 💔 ughhhh. More information about her will be revealed in chapter 14, so I’m sorry— I’ll be leaving stuff out for that reason 😮‍💨… I hope you appreciate these though cuz I’ve been letting them sit in the oven for a while.

Katherine “Kate” McCormick

Just like Cooper, she wasn’t very fussy or social when she was a toddler. She was shy the first two years living with the McCormicks.

Kate was very clingy to Butters at first because she knew him a bit beforehand. She was very intimidated by Kenny, but she warmed up to him after like 4-6 months. Also—

Because Kate is disabled, Kenny decided to be the one in charge of creating her prosthetic!!!

Since she needed many adjustments throughout her growth, she was allowed to help design different aesthetics!!

She even changes different ones depending on holidays or special events 🥹

The prosthetic actually works so well, it made her naturally ambidextrous

Learned ASL with Kenny !! She knows how to communicate through asl at a young age!!!

She’s more in the artistic side. Loves music, art, films, reading, dance.

Likes to doodle around her notebooks and you’ll probably find sticky notes with random pen drawings

Likes collecting plushes animals and has space for them in her room

Favorite colors are pink and turquoise

Butters and Kate love watching movies and hyper analyzing it. They literally go on non stop about every film they see.

Pretty advanced reading level for her grade

Gets along with pretty much everyone in her school, so she’s pretty popular

Eventually becomes a social butterfly

Loves it when Kenny sneaks the two of them for midnight-snack runs. It’s her favorite part of him returning because they just end up talking till she passes out

Gets along with Robin because when the Marsh-Broflovski’s are over, Isa, Coop, and Emi run away to get into messes together, and Robin (being the responsible older sister of the group) watches over her (since she’s the youngest).

Robin also has a soft side for Kate too <333

Kate thinks Coop and Emi should go out

Lmk if you want more, or submit your own headacanons and thoughts!!! I’d love to hear them 😖

[purplepeptobismol]

Should I keep working on my Emicoop animatic to Good Luck Babe by Chappel Roan 😗👉👈

YOU TOTALLY SHOULD AND SHOULD ABSOLUTELY SEND IT TO ME AS SOON AS YOU FINISH!!($!&,&:

[purplepeptobismol]

I NEEED MORE EMICOOP IDC IF ITS ART OR HEADCANNONS I NEED MORE

Im sorry it took a while anon! But here are just a couple I can think of from the top of my head! 😋🫶

—

Cooper

Starts piercing his ears at age 15 and even attempted to do one himself at 16 ☠️

This one is obvious but he thumps his knuckles the way Butters does whenever he’s overwhelmed/nervous. Maybe he picked up on it, but I like to think it’s a hereditary habit

Cooper is actually fluent in Spanish because he grew up listening to a lot of Latin American artist. [thank you volta for helping me coin this <3]

speaking of ^, his favorite is Selena and owns a vinyl of hers because I say so

Has a bit of popularity with a specific demographic (nerds)

its very 50/50 when it comes to getting along with people. If he doesn’t have a good first impression of you, then he’s not gonna engage, but is overall pretty chill with everyone

favorite color is black (space black)

academically advanced in science related subjects. Of course he is, it’s his favorite

likes really sweet stuff and absolutely hates salted dark chocolate

tends to have strict/high morals and a strong sense of justice (gets along with Kyle because of it, and will have political yap sessions with him and Isa)

likes to binge watch shows with Kate while they eat

Emilio

likes race cars/racing!! His jacket is a race car jacket and gets along with Kenny cuz of it.

Emilio doesn’t know a lot of Spanish, but he knows a basic amount (a literal ‘no sabo’ kid ☠️) . He failed Spanish y’all </3

has a lot of beauty marks!!

very in tune with nature and likes plants

joined the basketball team in middle school

picked up cooking around freshman year of high school and is actually REALLY really good at it

ends up working on the coffee shop with his grandparents despite his parents protesting against it

chill with people but he tends to lean on the people-pleaser side

pretty slow when it comes to social cues and reading the room

was a very fussy baby and toddler and has some anxiety issues behind close doors. He tends to keep appearances so he will literally be screaming and crying in his head but in the outside it’s full on poker face. (Learned this skill in the 6th grade)

was very clingy to Tweek throughout his childhood but goes through a rebellious phase in middle school that makes him have the typical ‘I hate my parents’ attitude

EmiCoop

Cooper fell in love first but he didn’t realize his feelings until the 4th grade 

Emilio is actually so freaking— ⚰️ y’all… bro does not understand what he feels towards Cooper for a long while. Internalized homophobia got his ass

Cooper gets along with Craig and Tweek has a soft spot for him. When Cooper and Craig end up going on space related yap sessions, Emilio gets pretty pissy. Actually—

(pre dating) Emilio is the very jealous type, I’m talking ‘IFHY by Tyler’ type of jealous ☠️☠️. And since he’s not going out with Cooper, he use to get so angry whenever he felt jealous. He didn’t understand what it was or why, but that only pissed him off more.

Emilio tends to stare at Cooper when he isn’t looking

Cooper finds Emilio physically attractive 🫢

Around elementary, they use to spend more time in Cooper’s house. But in middle school and high school, they switched to Emi’s since it was closer to them.

They are active on social media, so they’re always sending each other stupid stuff in a groupchat with Isa

Emilio and Isa get along really well since they have similar niche interests, but they’re all scared of her when she blows up. Cooper is down to go through her schemes tho. Whenever the Marsh-Broflovskis are over, the trio become like the old school South Park kids. Do NOT leave them alone for more than 24 hours. They WILL set something on fire. (Robin and Kate would probably come along but won’t intervene cuz it’s ’not their problem’)

Cooper isn’t bad at cooking, but he’s decent. Since Coop beats Emi in a lot of stuff, Emilio gets competitive towards cooking, so he will often try to ‘beat’ him and make him eat his dishes just so he can hear Cooper say that they’re good.

These are a couple I had on my notes, but I’m open to answering more specific questions if you have any !!!

[purplepeptobismol]

SO HI!!! Everyone I painted one of my favourite scenes from @purplepeptobismol’s fic ‘I Will Make of You.’

It’s AMAZING. It made me cry and this scene I redrew is from Chapter 5 - it made me sob so hard it’s just AAAA 🥲💕💕💕

SHSH i’ve been listening to the book of life soundtrack and i’ve been obsessed with the spanish version of ‘i love you too much’ and now it’s become another iwmoy bunny song to me 💔💔

Volta proving once again she’s the best moot!!! This is so valid!! *adds to playlist*

I’m actually listening to my IWMOY playlist at this moment because I’m going through my fourth draft for chapter 13 right now. Girl, listen to ‘Viento’ by Caifanes and ‘Landscape With a Fairy’ by aspidistrafly. This is the vibe we’re bringing to the table for this chapter 🙏trust

I have the opposite problem writers face of being unable to write. In fact— I can’t stop writing….. I need to stop. Someone stop my hands!
