south park ships i enjoy (part one; there will be more im just too lazy rn)

CREEK: if you don't like them i don't like you idc. they're so boyfriends. they are boyfriends. they canonically stay together for 40+ years. they hold hand. canonized crack ship turned best pairing in whole show. they are so wholesome <33 fuck you if you hate creek.

STYLE: my babies!!!! i love them very much! they love each other very much :) they beat up cartman together. they love each other so much it's painful. style breakups make me cry.

KENMAN: prob my favorite cartman ship. listen, cartman's an asshole, but he and kenny have matching necklaces and kenny puts up with his shit better than anyone else in the main four and cartman gives kenny troll headphones to watch movies with to make sure he doesn't get sad. they always laugh at stupid shit together while style stares at them in exasperation you can't change my mind.

STENNY: i love. i need no reason to love. i love them. super fucking problematic depression inducing family buddies later to become rehab buddies. trauma bonding of the finest flavor. mutual understanding is off the charts. both can appreciate quiet and watch cartman and kyle constantly fuckin scream at each other like 😐😐 they tell each other secrets at 3am change my mind

CUTTERS: actually so underappreciated. cartman is a dickwad but butters actually likes him. definitely more than other characters like him. they hold hand and cuddle and butters kiss cartman. i love them quite a lot <3

BUNNY: I don't know anyone who hates bunny. bunny is fluffy and wholesome. if you hate bunny we can't b friends. two most shippable characters in the series. n they're so t4t, whether genderfluid kenny x genderfluid butters, genderfluid kenny x transfem marjorine, or transmasc kenny x transmasc butters, they're so t4t idc idc.

Blades in the Dark Character Concept: Coalridge Cutter

I love that Coalridge is currently a hotbed of industrial unrest and union agitation. The industrial core of the city, the oldest core of the city, and the site of massive Victorian-esque labour oppression. Shipbuilders and coal miners and factory workers and indentured labourers, all gearing up for a workers revolution. One of the toughest neighbourhoods in the whole damn city. Of course I’m going to make a Cutter.

For heritage … Again, I think I’m going Skovlander. Oppressed industrial workers is Skovlan’s whole deal. This time, I think, we’ll make her second generation. She was born and grew up in Duskwall, in Coalridge itself, to parents who came from Lockport’s factories in the early stages of the Unity War to be forced to work Coalridge’s factories instead. Possibly they were indentured? Lets say yes. She wasn’t, she wasn’t directly forced into the factories, but it's just … what you do here? You’re born here, you work here, you die here.

Naturally, then, her background will be Labour. She worked the shipbuilding and machinist factories that build the leviathan hunters. Ironic, maybe, given her heritage, but she was damn good at it. Unfortunately, she’s a dirty Skovlander, born and bred in the Brickston slums or not, and she made her union sympathies a bit too apparent. She was blacklisted, violently, and if she can’t work an honest job around here anymore, well, guess she’ll have to work a dishonest one instead.

For her action dots, she gets two in Skirmish and one in Command from Cutter. For her heritage dot, I think we’ll give her Tinker. She comes from a family of machinists and factory workers. For her background, Wreck. She’s good at … disassembly, lets say. And then for the two free dots, we’ll give her one in Consort, for union contacts, and one in Hunt. Because she’s not just dumb muscle. She knows how to pick her fights, and how to hunt down people who need hunting down.

Her special ability will be Not To Be Trifled With. Because I think she’s fucking huge, and she can do things like break metal in her hands, and smash six heads together at once, if she’s pushed. She worked a job hauling massive sheets of metal around, and it shows. (I think I want her heavy and/or scary weapon to be a massive bloody hammer).

Friends and rivals. Well. Her enemy, and it is a vicious, bloody, I-want-you-fucking-dead enmity, is Chael. A vicious thug, and specifically an anti-union thug. A strikebreaker brought in by the factories, and the man who personally beat her half to death when she lost her job as an ‘example’. And her close friend … I think we’ll go Marlane, the pugilist. A woman who taught a lot of the Coalridge kids, the street kids and the immigrant kids, how to defend themselves growing up, our girl included. She owes Marlane a lot, and will do quite a lot to help her out.

For vice, and I know I’m fond of this one, but it will be Obligation again. They’re going to get the unions off the ground, damn it! She relieves stress by feeling like she’s done something, made a difference to the fight.

Name, Look, and Alias. Again, for the look, she’s just really goddamn huge. Sevika from Arcane, Rosie the Riveter, she’s big. Skovlander pale, with short-cropped dirty blonde hair, and a jawline you could break hammers on. Still wearing factory-chic, heavy work clothes, sturdy boots, heavy jacket. Her tools are more for disassembly than assembly these days, but hey. They work just as well.

Her name is Una Booker. AKA Una Breaker. And she’s a proud Coalridge Cutter.

You drink too much

Call me names

Tell me how worthless I am

Then like a child

Who can’t stand up

You have to beg for help

Because you soiled yourself.

And it’s me

Who is in the other room

Pretending to be asleep

So you can sit in it

In your own filth

So you can sleep in it

Propped up against the toilet

Deserving of your status.

Because it’s me

Who’s worthless

Right?

Scissors

The lightweight design of the scissors means only gentle pressure has to be applied to make an incision, and the polymer looped handle ensures the scissors automatically reopen once pressure has been released.

The fine pointed blade is guaranteed to give you precise accuracy for even the most intricate of cutting tasks.

Each pair of Mini Easi-Grip scissors comes with a blade guard for safe storage, and can be used in either the left or right hand.

Scroll down to see a video of the scissors in action.

Clippers

The nail clippers are mounted upon a non-slip plastic base to provide stability and ensure the clippers remain still and steady whilst in use.

The nail clipper lever features an extra-wide moulded pad, which provides enhanced leverage, and spreads the pressure applied when closing to provide comfort to weak hands and wrists.

The tabletop design makes these nail clippers ideal for those with limited long-range visibility, and includes a built-in nail file that can be used with ease.

Cutters

The long loop, ergonomic handle of the long reach nail cutters ensures they remain steady and comfortable-in-hand, and the serrated stainless steel blade helps to grip the nail when cutting.

The angled blade head provides the perfect angle for trimming - helping to avoid unnecessary twisting or straining of the wrists.

Designed with an extra-long blade shank, these long reach toenail clippers can be used when seated without having to stretch or bend uncomfortably, making them ideal for those with joint issues, back pain and limited dexterity.

Blades in the Dark Character Concept: Terrifying Fishmonger Cutter

Inspired by a couple of things, but initially the fact that one of the suggested options for ‘a blade or two’ among the standard equipment is a heavy butcher’s cleaver. And butcher wasn’t quite doing it for me, but what about a fishmonger? What about a terrifying fishmonger cutter?

Especially when the fish in Doskvol are described thusly: “Fishing ships ply the coastal waters daily, bringing back full nets of fish. Popular superstition figures the fish to be stray thoughts of the leviathans given form, and many are ugly enough to justify that whimsy. However, once they’ve been sorted and the poisonous ones ground up for soil treatment or disposal, the rest grace the plates or bowls of those who can afford them.”

The stray thoughts of the leviathans given form, and many are ugly enough to justify that whimsy, huh? You know what vibes that’s giving me? Dredge. The aberrant fish of Dredge. And the fishmonger (and poor dockhand) who so wanted to try them, and what resulted from those attempts. Weird fish. And a weird fishmonger to go with them.

So. The playbook will be Cutter. Cleavers and boat hooks and filleting knives. This is going to be a terrifying physical combatant.

And again, because this is me, and this is a haunted coastal setting over here, they’re going to be spooky. So let’s go Tycherosi for heritage. Not recently, mind you, they’re not a fresh transplant, their family has been terrifying the Docks in Doskvol for, oh, let’s say a century or so? They’re old blood, demon blood, but they’ve been around the city for a while. And … speaking of old blood. The devil mark? They don’t bleed blood. Or cry tears, or sweat sweat. It’s all ichor. A strange, black, shiny substance, dark stains of squid ink from their pores and down their cheeks and from their wounds. If you cut them, do they not bleed? Ha! Well. Not quite.

Background will be Trade, of course. A dockside fishmonger. One who takes the catches off the fishing boats, and not the fancy ones heading for the rich houses, but the weird or simply ugly ones destined for the merely well-off. It’s an old trade in the family, preparing the sea’s bounty. Perhaps they’re no longer a fishmonger because of rumours of contamination in their wares?

Actions dots. They get two in Skirmish and one in Command from Cutter. For their heritage … let’s give them a dot of Hunt. There’s an unsettling sense about them that they’re watching you, following you, that they know who you are. For their trade, we’ll give them Wreck. They are a butcher, after all, if usually of fish. And then for our free dots, lets go with one more in Command, as I feel like they’re good at intimidating people, and maybe one of Prowl. They’re surprisingly decent at lurking.

For their special ability, while something like Savage would definitely work, make them extra terrifying, I’m actually going to take Vigorous instead. They are full of a strange, rude health, a fearful salty effervescence that gets them back on their feet faster. Is it in their blood, something from the same strange source as that ichor? Or is it something they ate? Some further gift of the deeps? Heh.

That will be the vice, I think. We’ll call it Weird, although there’s an argument for Pleasure. But strange things, strange fish, show up in those nets sometimes, and our fishmonger is something of a connoisseur. Are they safe to eat? Almost certainly not. But the taste, and the experience, is just exquisite. Their purveyor, of course, is an old friend, a certain hooded proprietor of a half-flooded grotto tavern near the docks, where strange passageways lead to stranger chambers. All the oddities that come up in the nets wind up in their care sooner or later.

For friends and enemies … Our friend will be Sawtooth, a physicker, and a fellow experimenter on the effects of strange delicacies upon the flesh. He’s carved us quite prettily in our time, in mutual search of answers. And our enemy … Mercy. A cold killer. She’s carved us quite prettily too, in a different sense, and at some point we should quite like to return the favour. We weren’t supposed to get up, of course, but she hadn’t quite planned for our rude health. Next time, both of us shall be better prepared.

I keep saying ‘they’ and ‘us’, instead of ‘she’ or ‘he’, and I think that’s because they’re quite ambiguous. A strange androgynous thing, compact and dense with muscle, with a snarl of ink-dark hair and an unsettling look in their faintly protruding eyes. Almost always encountered in shirtsleeves and trousers, with a stained, heavy apron of eelskin over top. Their favoured blade is a cleaver, with a boat hook acquired from the docks when they need a heavier weapon. And for their scary weapon, a stranger blade still, that shines slick with a dark ichor, but beneath the surface of the blade. Slick and faintly phosphorescent within the metal of the blade.

Their name is Arlyn Grine, alias Oilslick, and they are a deeply unsettling dockside Cutter.
