Random SP headcanons pt2
Pt 1
Tweek tried to, but ultimately will never, learn how to drive with heavy advice from his loved ones (Craig). It’s too stressful. It’s dangerous because of his anxiety and tics for others and himself. No driving for Tweek. Please.
Cartman doesn’t make fun of Craig for being “half ginger” because he’s a little scared of him… kind of.
Speaking of, Cartman showed Craig his own wiener (as per TxC) of his own volition.
Fat fucking crush on Kyle btw.
If Stan hates that he looks like his dad then he hates that Kyle looks like his mom btw. Because… alcoholic x radical canadaphobe?? Fuck knows.
Stan shakes on weed (no projection here). He can’t feel it though.
Speaking of, Tweek can’t feel his own shaking.
Cartman wishes that Kenny would act how he would / seeks Kenny’s validation, hence his criticism of Kenny of the most menial of things (ie. holding a candle in Put It Down).
If there was money for it, Karen would own a lot of stuffed animals.
Kevin and Karen do not carry the gene for red hair. Or blond/blonde hair.
Cartman loves his fucking grandma. (No projection I swear)
Jimbo holds some affection for Liane but is just a gay old fuck. Jimned 4eva
Did I mention in my last post I think, despite Mrs Valmer’s canon design, that Mrs Tweak has the biggest tits? I’m saying it again if so
SHE AND RICHARD SCREW SO BAD I KNOW I SAID BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND–
I know I said last post that I didn’t know how Tweek and Butters would be cousins but now I’ve decided… people can think differently because anything goes but for me it’s through both fathers. Tweak Bros. originates from Mrs. Tweak’s father and to earn the right to marry her he had to win him over and show his dedication to the profession
Richard and Stephen got grounded a LOT
Linda and Sheila’s hair always smells incredible (so much product)
Sheila is the type of grandma to give out stale sweeties
The Marsh name ends with Stanley. The bloodline ends with both him and Shelley
Heidi is the mother of Kyle’s kids (coping)
Cartman only became homeless after his mother died
He never worked ever (garageman future aside)
Clyde got vaccinated guys we can all rest now (the bad future self came back to tell him to never do it but once the good future is put into play he gets vaccinated because there was no bad future to come back to tell him)
Clyde is very girldad coded, soz
Bebe’s dad is a bit younger than her mom (he is the ultimate girldad… Mr. Stevens I wish I knew your name)
Clyde gets more insecure about his weight / appearance as he gets older. For now he is young however so let him live (his pudge is the pudge ever and he is sonboy if not a carnal dream and a half… latter only in pcov ofc)
Mr. Stevens helps Bebe with her homework a fuckton (particularly maths)
Butters bites his nails
Butters (after growing up) loves strong women. Look at his Pcov design and tell me he doesn’t want / have / respect a buff wife.
If Butters wasn’t grounded as much as a kid he wouldn’t have a fear of expectations as much as he does, meaning he would have probably gotten a better job than working in Dennybees or whatever it was called. Bro could have been a multi billionaire girlboss
I just want someone to hear this it’s not really a headcanon but BHLK Queen Thistle? LINDA STOTCH? Same character different nationalities istg
Kyle plays chaperone a fair bit to the guys
Kyle, Tolkien and Craig are the most sensible drivers out of All The Boys (Tolkien behind Craig and Kyle if I’m being honest)
Kenny and Bebe (Bebe isn’t a boy but YKWIM) are the fucking fastest / most reckless
Clyde and Stan are sort of not great but not bad drivers
Jimmy is rather close to Tolkien in terms of driving skill yk
Butters, Cartman, Tweek don’t drive – Cartman out of laziness / expectation of chaperones, and Butters and Tweek out of stress… Tweek tried to learn though
Craig in later years drives Tweek everywhere
Tweek and Cartman have experienced heart attacks (in later years) but for different reasons to the other. Clyde has come very close. So has Craig, though not as close.
Tweek dies before Craig.
Stan dies before Kyle.
Butters dies before Kenny (ironically).
Craig visits Tweek’s grave with flowers every week??
Craig, as an old man, wears a lot of fucking cardigans. Grandpa shirts too (the things without the collars).
Tweek and Craig have matching anythings. Typically slippers.
Bebe is very handsy and sometimes possessive. Clyde thinks it’s “sweet”. (The dudebro sweet not the romantic sweet through the possessiveness originates from romanticism).
In Pcov Clyde is a delivery man, actually
Out of all the couples, it would always be Clybe to cause the most hickeys
Bebe has a flatter ass than brilliant boobs (opposite for Wendy, though Wendy isn’t flat chested)
Nichole bleaches her skin in the future (it’s sad but look at her design. Out of everything else it’s the most unrecognisable and it’s awful) (ETA: when I say awful I’m talking about why most people bleach their skin and how it can affect one’s health – people can do as they please but ultimately skin bleaching isn’t a… great??? thing, socially and health-wise)
Nichole loves 60s/70s paraphernalia and fashion (the ultimate flower power child)
Wendy and Cartman fuck at least once in their lifetimes. They take it to the grave, but because of this Cartman doesn’t die a fucking virgin
That sounds so damn harsh wth but it’s true (I think Cartman doesn’t really have any labels moreso is just attached to certain people when it’s not just himself *cough cough* Kyle and Wendy *cough cough*)
Jimmy can see perfectly fine out of both eyes until he reaches teenhood
Jimmy has two brown haired alleles
Cartman doesn’t make fun of Kenny or Craig for having a ginger / red haired parent because he thinks they’re pretty cool. He lowkey ships them / wants to be them.
Cartman has the gene for ginger hair.

Hello ml!<3 i was wondering if you could do yandere team stan and craig x reader platonic please! Like they see reader as a little sister!^^
hi lovely! i do not take SP requests anymore buttttf this seems really easy, so i should be able to do this !
saying this rn i’m so sorry if this is short #_# <\3 i’m sorry if i missed a character or two aswell!
only team stan right now as i can’t really think of much to do for team craig, sorry once more! D:
Stan Marsh -
a little careful not to bring you around his friends too much.. especially cartman AND COVERS UR EARS EVERYTIME ONE OF THEM SAYS A DIRTY JOKE LOL (no matter how old you are!1!1!)
would 100% go off on anyone who tries to mess with you (and Kyle would probably join him too) , ya don’t F with family, folks!
trades his lunch or snacks at lunch to give them to you!! loves seeing the look on your face when you get a snack size pack of skittles. Even if it’s super small your face always lightens up and he just laughs and feels very proud of himself after
he makes sure shelly isn’t too mean to you, let’s her rip on him instead if she gets a little aggressive with you (she wouldn’t really go that far dw <3)
Eric Cartman -
GETS YOU IN TROUBLE ALL THE TIMMEEEE
(don’t worry he always does something in return after. begrudgingly and hesitantly.) (he just feels bad)
brings you on all of his little dangerous adventures but makes sure you stay safe all the time,, if you get hurt EVER he’s SOOO dramatic. begging for a hospital!
if any of his friends (aka rest of team stan) dare to say anything to you (they don’t cuz they don’t care) he will 100% be dramatic ALLO OVER AGAIN, threatens to beat up his friends (he can’t rlly) and is nice to you for the rest of the day!!
steals cute stuff from other classmates and brings them to you, steals snacks from people and brings them to you!! probably stole some snacks from stan that he planned to give to his own little sibling
Kenny McCormick -
tones down his dirty jokes when with you, and also does not let you around his friends LMAO
loves hanging out with you, karen, and kevin! at first he was really hesitant on stuart and carol having you (like with karen) but loved you so much after your born!!
protects u FOR LIFE. is basically also your guardian angel when he’s in his mysterion costume! when your in the foster home thing(?) he’s visiting you like crazy and bringing you treats aswell. makes sure you never get beaten up in the basement by the parents
loves whenever you show him something you like. Anime? cartoons? etc? your not cringe to him at all! he likes weird shit too, trust. Watches and plays everything you show him <3
a video game MASTER! having any trouble with a boss fight? he’s got it. Cant find an item? he already has it and is gonna trade it to you!!
Kyle Broflovski -
takes care of you and Ike RELIGIOUSLY. love you two both to death!
plays dolls/action digs with you even if your in middle school or whatever (in the event he’s in HS or whatever) , he doesn’t want his little siblings to ever grow up! brings a tear to his eye.
every Hanukkah he makes sure you get the best presents and NEVER lets your presents break, always has them in pristine condition ! hates seeing you sad , it affects him more than he’d like to admit.. he also gives you his hat to wear when your a little down!
bakes and cooks with you, he’s pretty okay at cooking but if your bad it’s no problem! he’s willing to teach you the 3 dishes he knows how to make LMAO. If your better than him at cooking? EVEN BETTER, teach him! but he’ll be a little embarassed to learn stuff from his little sibling
having trouble with homework? he’s on it! he won’t let you cheat on anything, but he’ll help you and guide you to the right answer.
Never let’s people talk shit about you or make fun of you, he will fr fight his friends if they dare to do that.
heya! thanks for requesting, i haven’t been really willing to write lately but this got me off my booty!!! i really should open my tf2 and scp foundation reqs.
sorry again i couldn’t do team craig! i hope these were good enough, feel free to request this again some time if i’m ever active again! <3

ᯓ★ INTRODUCTION + PINNED POST.
ᯓ★ ABOUT ME.
Hi! I'm Callie, I’m in love with fictional characters, and this is a yume blog. Shocker, right?
I’ve been a selfshipper and canon x OC fiend for as long as I can remember, but I’m only now working up the nerve to make a whole entire blog dedicated to the practice. Call it shyness, or call it not being able to figure out a good username for a long time, either works.
I’m hoping to use this blog as an outlet for all my big feelings about little animated guys and maybe make some friends in the process!
I have three primary fictional significant others, and I don’t like sharing them: Kenny McCormick (South Park), Leopold “Butters” Stotch (South Park), and Joey Wilson (DC Comics + related media). It’s nothing personal, but I ask that you please don’t engage with me if you also selfship with them. Thank you!
A quick note on boundaries: I don’t believe in DNI culture as a whole, so I’m not going to make a list of people I don’t want around. Instead, I’m going to offer you some information for you to curate your own experience. I deal in dark and suggestive themes, so I block minors in my notes, I don’t care for discourse, I consider myself pro-fiction and anti-harassment, and I really, really don’t like doubles. Do as you will with this knowledge.
That being said, I don’t bite! Reach out if you’d like, especially if you’re a fellow DC or SP selfshipper, or if we share general interests.
This is a sideblog, I follow and interact from here.
Because this is a sideblog, I can't send asks from here directly (as of the time of this writing, at least). I think signing anons is a bad idea in general, and I don't care for sending asks pertaining to sideblog stuff on main, but I do practice reblog karma nevertheless! I'm just on anon for it.
I hope you enjoy your stay!
ᯓ★ CONTENT NOTES.
As stated earlier, my writing and lore occasionally delve into dark and/or suggestive themes— mild smut, violence, and consent issues are the usual suspects, but I'll do my best to warn for anything that might need to be warned for. I sometimes opt not to use warnings, AO3 style, but this will be mentioned in a fic's opening notes, also AO3 style.
I tag warnings for visual media using the format of [x] warning, as in flash warning, blood warning, and gore warning. I don’t directly tag my writing with warnings, though— instead, I opt for an informational header and a catchall tag.
Block the tag #graveyard after dark if you'd rather not see smut, and the tag #graveyard after death if you don't want to see darker themes.
All works of this nature will be under a cut and given mature content warnings as necessary.
ᯓ★ LINKS + CREDIT.

Carrd (featuring character profiles for my significant others and my self-inserts): TBA
Archive of Our Own (featuring my selfship writing): TBA
Dividers are taken from this post by adornedwithlight. For once in my life, I made my own icon and header!

how would u rank the sp parents
this is such a complex question because i feel like the ways in which the parents are shitty is so varied from family to family that i can’t even begin to rank them. if you base it on the level of physical security and stability, the ranking would be the mccormicks last, then liane, then the marshes, then the broflovskis. but, if you base it on emotional care, it would be the mccormicks, the broflovskis (an argument can be made for sheila, as she clearly adores kyle, but he shows clear anxiety around her), the marshes, and then liane (however, this is complex, as her doting nature is also overly lenient, so even though he feels emotionally cared for, is he really?)
not to mention a lot of the parents have changed significantly over the course of the show. for instance, liane was a much worse parent in the beginning, with now her main issue being that she indulges cartman’s every whim (though this has been changing!) and that she doesn’t discipline at all, but at the start of the show we know that she regularly smokes crack with her kid in the home and has exposed cartman to her sexual exploits in person. and, on the flip side, randy started the show as a goofy and absent-minded yet fairly present parent, but has progressively descended into being an abusive, negligent parent with debilitating substance abuse issues. the mccormicks and sheila have been pretty consistent i feel, with the mccormicks all throughout being shown to be mostly just negligent, but with moments of emotional and physical abuse (in the case of kevin, at least). though, i would say they used to be more involved parents and care more for kenny’s wellbeing. as in, if they showed a scene with stuart going out of his way to play catch with kenny in a newer episode, i’d be surprised. sheila has consistently been shown to be a helicopter parent who is an imposing but loving figure, with her behaviors not being particularly flanderized considering she initiates war with canada over t+p pretty early on in the series. that said, i’d say that, much like the other parents, she’s become comparatively more distant from her kids than before, which can be seen in the way that kyle increasingly takes on this parent role in ike’s life. in terms of consistency and also quality i would say sharon takes this place. in fact, though i said i struggle with ranking, i think it’s safe to say that sharon is the best parent in the show.
this already got long, so i’m not going to write about my thoughts on gerald as a father and his development, as my feelings on that topic are so complex, so it will at least triple this post. anyways, this was absolutely NOT an answer to your question, but an essay, which is why i put off answering it because i knew this would happen lol. here is my attempt at a ranking though:
sharon
sheila, but only really by default
everyone else is too difficult to properly rank

i’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and i want to hear someone from SPHS’s thoughts.
i know you’ve noticed the “tiktok” fan base- the ones that only watch clips of the show and then say they’re fans. i read one of your posts talking about these types of fans and making blatantly incorrect headcanons. that’s something that bugs me, but another thing that bugs me is the fact i do not believe south park is tiktokable. i’ll use family guy as a comparison for my points.
first of all, compared to family guy, the humor is different, pretty much everything they explained in the cartoon wars two parter explains what i mean, m&t are not fans of interchangeable jokes and are able to give characters emotional progression throughout the episode. that’s one huge factor, i hope you get what i’m trying to imply with that. m&t are passionate about their story telling and it pays off in their episodes. i know not EVERY SINGLE joke follows this, but there are jokes made better by understanding the characters and the circumstance of the episode. the episodes work best in their entirety. (that was difficult to explain so i fear it can be misinterpreted easily)
the characters are another thing i want to mention. i watched the episode TSST with two friends awhile ago, one of which who had never seen an episode and didn’t understand cartmans character. she kept asking questions about him, or said how weird his hitler obsession was. the other friend hadn’t finished south park and said he hated cartmans character and it’s hes one of the bad pieces of the show. i believe even if you don’t like cartman as a personal preference thing, you should at least appreciate him as a character and his placement, it’s hard to understand him (despite us watching an episode that really dives into him, they still didn’t know much about him before). with family guy, one episode is enough to grasp the character, hell, even a single scene is i’d say, while m&t are very good at developing and fleshing out character personalities over time. it’s why they can pull off making sad episodes (like kenny dies and assburgers), heartwarming episodes (like tweek x craig and even bits of episodes like in raisins) all while still being a comedy show. they understand how to make the characters react in a way that can make you feel something while maintaining a good amount of jokes in the episode.
i dont know, theres more i could add but i’m just writing whatever comes to mind first so it might make no sense or it might be wrong. also, i’m by no means an old fan. i’ve rewatched the series quite a few times, watched commentaries, researched through wiki pages and am constantly trying to better my knowledge of the show, but i know i’m not quite there yet and could just be making a mistake GAHAH
No anon, I actually totally get this and agree 100%. SP as a show is not something that works well with out of context clips (and even then, the ones that do work are usually from very early in an episode before the plot fully gets established and stakes as drawn). Until pre s18 when they started soft continuity (and then s19-21s full continuity, after that is a whole other discussion entirely), the shows syndicated nature did make it easier to hop into any episode and watch it in its entirety and enjoy it without much prior knowledge of the show or it's characters. However, even then, you really needed to watch the *whole* episode to get the big picture of it's message.
And I get it, SP full length episodes are not as accessible as they once were. People these days don't know how or aren't willing to pirate things if they don't have the streaming service SP is hosted on, and beyond that, south park used to be free to watch on their website. Like, that's how I ended up catching up on the show when I finally decided to take it all in other than a handful of episodes and scenes I'd seen during my childhood back in 2013. It was all entirely available (save for Super Best Friends, 200 and 201, which I had to go track down on other websites) for free, with ads unless you used an ad blocker, right at your fingertips. And that's how M+T wanted SP to be consumed, because they explicitly noted that they didn't care about making money on streamed episodes, they cared about getting their show out there. (I will have to go find that interview, I know it's somewhere).
But still, regardless of that, you're right. SP is not something that you can consume short form as a brief tiktok video, and that's why I think we have newer fans with such big gaps in knowledge that seem like they would be easy to fill in. It's not that they're being willfully ignorant, they're just being fed a very piecemeal version of the show through social media, which is how we get people thinking Pip is a he//llpa//rk OC (augh!!! dont get me started) instead of realizing this dude was actually in the fucking show, or headcanons that are very easy to contradict with canon itself by watching like 3 episodes. That's not me knocking HCs btw, go wild and do whatever you want, but these people don't even know it's ooc, and that's a little troublesome. I've made some outlandish character decisions in the past but I at least KNEW they were not evidence based.
What that means for the fandom down the road I don't know, and its made a lot of discussion and analysis more shallow-- it's so hard outside of my SPHS friend group to find good breakdowns these days. I'm hoping maybe something will change, but who knows.
TLDR fuck tiktok and its watering down of media

Intro 🧡
guess I might as well do an intro
diagnosed adhd software engineer here (🩷💜💙 bruh why tf is there no bi emoji), coming to you from the Rocky Mountains (where rich people's empty ski homes are literally everywhere and driving up costs….. pls send help)
writing stuff + ao3 link
working on a canon-adjacent story about the main kids. it’s a short story so will be done soon :) and I hope to focus on more short stories in the future.
also doing a south park/good place crossover because why not
wrote this thing called "the cultish conundrum" which... exists... (planning to rewrite it someday when i git gud™️) (wrote this when I knew NOTHING of fandom so I did try to be canon-compliant but knew nothing of creative writing when I first started, so I hope to revisit to rewrite it to be actually… good one day lol)
Also if you’re an ao3 writer of your own and want me to kudos/comment just lmk!! I know this isn’t an excuse but my adhd makes it so bad for me to read others works but if I’m instructed to I genuinely love it and want to support y’all as from what I’ve seen, there’s SO many talented SP writers out there that I genuinely want to support so badly but am literally so bad at committing when there’s so many choices lmao
quick stats:
mid 20s and fresh out of college
chronic procrastinator turned aspiring hobbiest writer who still has a lot to learn (bear w me you guys; I studied computer science in college and just BS’d my my way thru the required English courses 😭)
ex-mormon who served a mission (emphasis on the ‘ex’- 🫡 🥲 god the stories I have lmfao) also I surprisingly still haven’t watched the BOM musical despite this?? tho I know the soundtrack by heart lol
works in tech and works from home
builds legos and is an incredibly nerdy gamer when not crying over learning how to write (most of my nights are spent either gaming w friends via discord or building legos or both)
I love all the main 5 equally and think they all have strengths and weaknesses that are often over generalized in fandom (tho view Eric specifically from a well written/complex antagonists lens and not as an apologist. I think he’s a racist and sexist sob with occasional good traits that don’t otherwise eliminate the overall bad he does. I think he’s literally meant to be the main antagonist, just as Matt and Trey intend him to be.
Though the other main four (butters, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny)- I will always be their lawyer and apologist lmao. I can’t stand when people view a couple isolated episodes for any of those four to demonize them (they literally all have an equal screen time of shitty behavior so it pisses me tf off when some focus on one over the other as evidence of being ‘worse’. I genuinely think they’re all equal from a moral lens; just in different strengths and ways. Feel free to ask for more details cuz I’ve got lots of opinions on this lmao) Butters, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny all try their best and I’ll accept no lasting slander on any of them 🥹 (tho of course will always accept nuanced views of them cuz none of them are close to perfect (this is what makes them realistic 😭- and love writing them w their flaws and all :)
so yeah!! south park has basically been my comfort show/emotional support media for as long as i can remember. like it's literally been keeping me sane through… everything
currently vibing in the fandom space (though still learning all the rules so pls be patient w me 🥺 I am NOT new to South Park, but am new to fandom, so… im genuinely open to any feedback. at the end of the day I don’t want any drama and just want to vibe w you all in the SP fandom). if i mess up tags or anything else or whatever just let me know!! I genuinely do want to be respectful but am brand fucking new to the fandom space/etiquette and it’s a little overwhelming tbh lmao. But I’m so down to learn.
absolutely down to chat about anything!! just use my ask box or dm if you're 18+ (minors welcome to interact via reblogs/public comments/ask section, just please no dm!). i promise i'm super chill and literally just here to vibe with other cool humans who don't tolerate any transphobic/racist/etc behavior.
SP style is honestly my OTP and what even compelled me to look into the fandom space in general tbh (and is kinda funny because most of my life I’ve just viewed them as canonically super best friends lmao). Even with style being my OTP, I love their deep friendship first and foremost even before any romantic ship. Don’t hesitate to reach out with one-shot requests in the ask-box tho! I’m happy to help to work on anything, really- even if style is platonic. I really vibe w Craig, for example.

South Park Music Headcanons
I am trying to figure out what kind of music everyone in SP would listen to for something so I wanted to get everyone’s opinions on it.
These are mine:
Stan- I’m going to be basic here and say he likes indie/alternative music and probably rock. I know that’s what a lot of people say but I feel like it’s true because it fits his personality. I think he listens to stuff like My Chemical Romance, Weathers (it’s a less common band but I swear they don’t have a SINGLE bad song and all their songs really fit Stan), Two Feet, Green Day, Sub Urban, Palaye Royale (definitely their earlier albums, I FREAKING LOVE THIS BAND), Arctic Monkeys, Mitski, Waterparks, FIDLAR, Younger Hunger (also a great lesser known band), BoyWithUke, Weezer, The Neighborhood, The Strokes. I have a lot of songs for Stan but I want to know if people agree.
Kyle- All I really have for him is Green Day and even then I'm not sure. I don’t know if he would like the songs Stan listens to or if he would hate them.
Kenny- He listens to pop songs like from The Weekend, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles and Maroon 5. Probably also bands like Panic! At The Disco, Imagine Dragons and Fall Out Boy. Maybe The Wrecks?? Maybe Queen?? OOH ADAM LAMBERT!! Also Maneskin.
Cartman- He also listens to pop songs like Britney Spears and Lady Gaga (CANON!) but he also listens to rap songs (ALSO CANON!). I don’t like rap music that much but when I think of Cartman, I think of XXXTENTACION and Juice WRLD. Also Post Malone.
Craig - I have no idea. He probably also likes indie/alternative music but maybe not the same ones that Stan likes.
Tweek - Same thing, I have no idea. I like to think of him as a headbanger but then I think that loud rock music would make him anxious. But soft music doesn’t really fit him in my opinion. I have songs that I think match his personality but I’m not sure if he would actually like them or not.
Clyde - Clyde is the same as Kenny. He likes Ariana Grande, The Weekend, Harry Styles, Lil Nas X, … Also probably Olivia Rodrigo. He probably really likes boy bands like One Direction and The Backstreet Boys, also probably Justin Bieber. He probably wanted to be in a boyband with Craig, Token and Jimmy but they all said no lol
Token - I have no idea.
Jimmy - No idea. He probably likes Bo Burnham.
Butters - He likes soft music. He probably likes Cavetown.
Wendy - I don’t know if she would like her but Penelope Scott??
Bebe - She’s the same as Kenny and Clyde. She likes pop music and boy bands. Maybe also country music. I don’t know much about country music but maybe Taylor Swift??
Other Bands/Artists That I Like
-Grandson
-Melanie Martinez
-AJR
-5SOS
-Set It Off
-Nothing But Thieves
-MARINA
-Sir Chloe
-Cage The Elephant
Please reblog or send in asks with your opinions on what you think of this and then maybe some of your own :)

fuck it. it’s pride month, and i feel like being self-indulgent, so have...
MY SP KIDS LGBTQ HCS (well some of em anyway)
Stan: pansexual, polyamorous and genderqueer (ik him being bi is more popular but as far as I’m concerned Stan the man is pan and polyam. And also not a man bc like, have you seen The Cissy?)
Kyle: bisexual, polyamorous and agender (I actually think Kyle’s more likely to be bi and Stan pan, bc Kyle is definitely the kind of person to give a lot of thought to what genders he’s attracted to while Stan’s like ‘hot people *barfs*’. The agender thing is because Human Kite is a gender-neutral kite alien, which honestly is kinda goals)
Kenny: pansexual and nonbinary (sometimes we’ve all just gotta be a kawaii princessu)
Butters/Marjorine: pansexual and genderfluid (he’s/she’s a bit more assertive about his/her gender than Kenny but will still totally smooch anyone given half a chance)
Tweek and Craig: gay (do not separate them)
Wendy/Wendyl: polysexual, polyamorous and genderfluid (2/3rds of this is already canon if you believe FBW, bless you devs)
Tolkien: bisexual (was tempted to say something not-cis bc of the bra bit from Professor Chaos but I’ll hold myself back)
Clyde: pansexual (he assumes he’s straight for the longest time but then gets bored of not being as popular with girls as he thought he was and realises he’s down with anything)
Jimmy: pansexual (basically the reverse of Clyde, he Always knew he’s into everything. This mf’s superhero character sheet says his sexuality is ‘yes please’ ffs)
Cartman: straight (I know he’s not but I sleep at night better denying it bc he’s one of the most cishet white men in all of media)

part two to that ^^
story still doesn’t have a title lol. also pls send asks about sp i love writing </3 and i had to go to a concert so that’s why it took awhile
read part 1 first or else this prolly isn’t gonna make sense
Stan flushed and pressed himself deeper into the back of the couch.
“You…” He said, his voice soft. Kyle furrowed his brows, oblivious to the absolute fear Stan was feeling. “You’re just… really tall from this angle, that’s it.” He muttered. He knew that his lie was as transparent as a really clean window, but he couldn’t say what he was feeling. Kyle frowned, kneeling down next to the armrest.
“We’ll fix it. Its okay.” He said, keeping his voice soft to not scare him. Stan still flinched, and Kyle backed away slightly.
“What if we can’t fix it? That’s… I just, I don’t know. I’m worried. If my parents find this, they’ll actually kill me.” He whined. “This on top of all the other stuff we’ve done and I’ll be dead. And so will you! They’ll think we hijacked some super secret laboratory-“
“Hey.” Kyle placed his hands on either side of Stan, lowering himself to be even more level with him. “It’s okay. Nobody’s gonna find out about this. We’re gonna fix it before your parents get back. And I’m not gonna tell Cartman or Kenny, so unless you are, who’s gonna know?” He explained, sighing in relief when he noticed Stan relax.
“I didn’t do anything though.” He looked down at his socks. “I don’t know what made this happen.” He stuck out his arms, looking over them. His hands infront of the world reminded him of how small he really was in this moment. Kyle mumbled something incoherent, sitting on the ground instead of kneeling.
“What were you doing before it happened?” He asked. Stan glanced up at the ceiling, pressing his lips together. He dug his fingers into the couch to distract from the fact he was being stared at. How could something that happened so recently be lost in the back of his mind?
“I was just looking at you, and honestly my mind was blank. I kinda zoned out.” He said, resting his head on his hands. “I wish I knew. One second I was thinking about how I had the whole weekend to myself and the next my body was closing in on me.” He sighed, tilting his head back. Kyle looked away, not knowing what to do.
“If it happened for no reason, maybe we could wait it out. Maybe it’ll go away for no reason, and you’ll change back.” He said, a slight smile showing his hope. He looked back at Stan, who seemed to cower under his gaze. Kyle lowered his eyes and tilted his hand slightly. “Listen, I know it’s all weird and different and shit, but you kinda have to trust me. I’m not gonna let anything hurt you, let alone hurt you myself.” He said, cupping his fingers around the boy slightly, not actually touching him.
“I know. I’m just… You know.”
“Not really.” At that, Stan smiled, and Kyle echoed him, bringing his hand closer instinctively. Regret flooded through him as he saw the boy react, thinking full heatedly that he was gonna start freaking out. Instead, he just lightly wrapped his hands around Kyle’s thumb, lowering his head.
“It’s better than being stuck this size with Cartman.” Stan said softly, and they both giggled.
“Oh, dude, don’t make me think about him.”

Some of my random SP headcanons:
This is a long one.
Pt 2
Cartman just will never learn how to drive. Ever. He knows he has other people to ferry him around.
In a similar vein, when that time rolls around (teenhood), Kenny legally can’t drive but he can drive. He just doesn’t have a licence. This persists until much later in life when he can financially support himself.
Stan begged/bribed Cartman to not harass Red for being a daywalker to keep the peace in his and Wendy’s relationship.
Whenever Wendy and Cartman need to sit down to talk out some sort of dispute, they do it over a pack of Oreo’s. They call this Oreo Time.
Kenny and Cartman play GTA together a lot.
Heidi is part Jewish on her mother’s side.
Cartman’s natural eye colour is brown. He has blue eyes, now.
Cartman is short by the time he’s fully grown (probably because of his weight), and has naturally brown hair and blue eyes. Kenny is the opposite, with blond hair and blue eyes, and is naturally Cartman’s favourite.
Cartman’s coat is plain red flannel (it’s the closest thing to fuzzy felt we can get), Stan’s is canvas, Kyle’s is tarpoon cloth, and Kenny’s is synthetic material (it’s like that smooth thin material that makes a high pitched whirry noise when you scratch it?? Cannot find the specific name for the life of me).
Tweek and Butters are cousins. Either through both of their mothers or through Butters’ dad and Tweek’s mom. Let me know which one you prefer.
Craig and Cartman’s hats are from the same store / brand.
Cartman and Kyle wear opposite colours on opposite pieces of clothing (is this a headcanon or observation? Who knows, I just want to point it out). Kyle has a green hat, contrasting Cartman’s red coat. Cartman has a (primarily) blue hat, contrasting Kyle’s orange coat. Kyle’s original gold-yellow t-shirt also compliments Cartman’s blue t-shirt, and pairs with Cartman’s yellow puff, brim, and gloves.
Cartman sometimes hums the Dreidal song to himself. Rarely will he sing it.
Carol and Stuart put Kenny in a separate room to Kevin because they didn’t anticipate a third kid. When Karen came along, they didn’t bother to displace one of them, so just stuck her in with one of them (Kevin) at random.
Kenny carries the gene for red hair.
Either (or both) Laura and Thomas have brown eyes. This is why Craig has black hair. (Relying on a quick google search for this one).
If Stan looks a lot like Randy as he gets older, right down to the eyes, Shelley looks like Sharon, but with Randy’s eyes.
Stan sometimes feels like the outsider in the group because not only do the other three hold biological keepsakes of the others (Kenny’s eyes –> Cartman; Cartman’s kidney –> Kyle), Kyle and Kenny (K’s) both wear the same shade of orange, and all three are called by unvoiced guttural (“kuh”) vocatives. He’s just Stan. He and Kenny have the same last initial, though.
Out of all the moms, Mrs. Tweek has the biggest tits. I’m sorry I don’t make these rules.
She and Richard fuck like rabbits too I think
While there’s a massive gap between how Stan is viewed and how Cartman is viewed, but out of Stan’s Gang, Stan is held in the lowest esteem just after Cartman. Wendy and his looks boost his popularity a bit, but it’s still rather low.
Kenny is held in the highest esteem by the way, because people know he just joins the guys and doesn’t really instigate.
Craig has alexithymia.
Clyde picked up some mannerisms, like speaking with little affect, from Craig.
Clyde was a mommy’s boy, but Betsy was always rather eccentric and pedantic.
I’m not sold on this but I have thought about Betsy having PCOS.
Maybe I’m biased but I like to think that if Clyde outright said the words “I don’t like Janice and I don’t want her in this house” / “I’m not ready for a stepmom”, I think Roger would adhere. Probably just me being biased.
Sharon hates being filmed, and if she sees either a video or photo of her she will immediately pat her hair and say “oh look at my hair there” or touch her face and go “oh my, I look godawful in that”.
Cartman flexes his ability to eat bacon on Kyle a lot.
Craig has a fear of dressing Stripe up in costumes. Tweek has suggested it, but Craig shot it down immediately.
Wonder Tweek’s costume is from Craig’s closet, and the reason his is shit is because he was too busy helping Tweek’s with his because Tweek found organising his own costume too stressful.
Randy taught Kenny how to swim in Kyle’s backyard blow up paddling pool.
Cartman is a weak ass swimmer.

Please Please Please
SP Apocalypse AU
Pt. 4 Big Break
Here we are at the news drop, this is what takes us into the actual plot line!! Woooooooo! Yall i love jimmy valmer, hes hilarious, there is use of y/n in here in kennys part gotta love having a weakness
Today you’re off work so you made a point to relax laying sprawled on the sofa in you and Jimmy’s shared home. Jimmy was out at a meeting with some venue owners to try and get a decent paying show so you weren’t expecting a call until a couple hours. You were proved wrong just as you were dozing off when your phone began buzzing from underneath you. You sat up and answered the call from Jimmy.
“Hello hello~” You softly said into the phone.
“Y/N!! GUESS WHOS OPENING FOR A SH-SHOW IN DENVER THIS W-WEEKEND!” You didn’t know it but he pulled the phone away from his face in preparation for your response. You screamed loud into the mic from pure joy and excitement for your best friend.
“NO FUCKING WAY JIM!!” He laughed knowing you’re just as psyched as he was, maybe more so.
“Yes-a-r-r-rooni!” You could easily hear the big smile he had on his face. “And Im i-inviting everyone from high school.” You could barely contain all your excitement about this show, let alone the new fact that you’ll see all your old friends from school.
“That’s good! Plenty of familiar faces to tease.” You let out an evil sounding laugh before it went back to normal at the sound of Jimmy’s. He filled you in on the rest of the details as you made quick work clearing your weekend. “Do you think everyone will show up?” You asked thinking of all the old friends you had, everyone you could think of had solid jobs now so you worried they wouldn’t make it.
“Everyone that matters will be there for sure!” Jimmy said now also thinking about who will show. In honesty he’s not sure who will actually join, but to him, even if there’s 10 folks he invited it would be just fine.
Stan was just arriving home when he got a text from an unsaved number.
‘Hey, this is Jimmy Valmer! I have a big show in Denver this Saturday and I’m inviting everyone from high school! I would love if you all can make it, hope to see you there!’
This message was attached to a link to buy tickets to the show. Stan smiled to himself before checking his schedule for this week. His weekend was clear so he went ahead and bought a ticket before heading inside. Kyle was watching the news on the couch scrolling through his phone.
“Dude he did it! Jimmy is makin it big time now!” Stan said putting his keys down and joining Kyle on the couch. “Did you get the text?”
“Huh? Oh about the show? Yeah.” Kyle said staring at the tv with the controller in hand.
“You gonna come? This is huge dude!” Stan said way more excited than Kyle is. Stan sees this show as an opportunity to reconnect with all his old friends, so he is jumping at this opportunity to see everyone. Of course he sees them on the rare occasions they pop in the coffee shop but this is different, he’s not on the clock and they wont be in a rush for work.
“No, I’ve got that family trip to jersey, I’m leaving Wednesday remember?” Stan deflated immediately at his friends words. Kyle and Ike are gonna be gone a whole week meaning there’s no chance of them making the show. “We wont be back until next Thursday.”
“Damn dude, guess I’m goin alone.” Stan sighed pulling out his phone to scroll idly.
“No, he sent that text to everyone, isn’t Tweek and Craig gonna go?” Kyle asked as he changed the channel on the tv. Stan shook his head.
“Nah, they work the weekends and they have their movie nights with Red and Scott on saturdays remember?” Stan corrected continuing on his phone. “You think Cartman’s going?” Stan asked looking over to Kyle who cringed at the name.
“Dude of course he is, his peak was when he could make fun of everyone.” Stan laughed at Kyles statement.
“That’s true, He’s gonna heckle the fuck out of Jimmy.” Stan scoffed. Kyle laughed this time.
“I wouldn’t doubt he’s coming up with a plan to get back at everyone who shows up right now.” Kyle rolled his eyes and then they were both laughing.
Kenny was jolted awake by pounding on his bedroom door. “Yea! Come in!” He shouted face down in his pillow. His roommate Butters barges into the room in a rush with his phone outstretched towards Kenny. He kneels next to him on the floor while shaking Kenny with his free hand.
“GET UP AND LOOK AT THIS!” Butters shouted full of disbelief and excitement. Kenny groaned and turned over onto his back turning to look at his friend. “HE MADE IT KEN!” Kenny squinted whipping the sleep from his eyes trying to decipher what Butters was showing him.
“Hi this is jimmy valmer. . . This Saturday. . . Hope to see you there.” Kenny whispered as he read the message. “That’s awesome! Are we going?” Kenny asked now giving a curious look to his friend. Butters pouted in response before putting his phone away.
“I work, but you HAVE to go. We gotta support our friend!” Butters said now gripping onto Kenny’s shirt dramatically. Kenny laughed at the display.
“How am I gonna get there? Kevin has my truck.” Kenny said with a laugh. Butters thought for all but 5 seconds before giving Kenny the answer.
“Easy, I drop you off before I work, I dont work until 2 so I can just drop you off early and pick you up right after I get off!” Butters said happily. Kenny sighed sitting back against the headboard.
“Why would I go alone, no one I know will be there?” Kenny said trying to avoid going without Butters. Butters gave him an exaggerated frown.
“He invited everyone from highschool, the whole gang will be there. Kyle, Stan, and Y/n too!” Butters said building his case. Kenny looked down at his hands before sighing again. “I hear Y/n is still single.” Butters says peering at him suggestively. Kenny glances up then back down to his hands.
“I thought they were dating Jimmy? They live together and all.” Kenny says crossing his arms now looking at Butters.
“Nope, just best friends living together.” Butters says resting his chin in his palm leaning onto Kenny’s bed.
“How do you know all this? What the hell sources did you have?” Kenny questions not trusting his friends words.
“They came into the shop last week like usual and we talked for a bit.” Butters says casually. “You’re going though.” Kenny looks at him in disbelief.
“What? I haven’t decided if I want to yet?” Kenny said and reached over for his phone.
“I decided for you, I bought your ticket already.” Butters said now gazing out the window. Kenny checked the message Jimmy sent before speaking again.
“Well return it, I don’t need to see all of them. I’m not going.” Kenny said putting his phone down crossing his arms again.
“Yea you are, the tickets are non-refundable and I know how your brain works. You wouldn’t let the money I spent go to waste.” Butters stood up going for the door. “Make sure you pick a nice outfit.”
“I hate that you know how my brain works. Fine I’ll go willingly.” Kenny says with an eye roll. Butters giggled closing the door behind him.
I last minute decided to add all 3 main characters pov instead of just yours, i think it came out very well, i didnt proofread much, but its gonna have to work! The next like 3 or 4 chapters are my favourites cause they really set the scene and tone well, i cant wait!!!!!

Fuck it uhhh. I’m watching Cock Magic (SP) for the millionth time and literally just flapped my hands while shouting “I’m normal!!!” so I’m gonna post my rambly MtG related thoughts to further prove how much of a liar I am (I’ll try to make this as accessible as possible to non-Magic players!!)
You fuckers (affectionate) literally asked for this!! it was one of the previously mentioned Kenny analysis posts :D
Okay first of all. The entire premise of the boys mainly SPECTATING Magic rather than playing is hilarious to me, especially because it’s evident that the remainder of the main five aren’t the most knowledgeable about the rules of the game (Kyle doesn’t know that tapped creatures can’t block for example). In my experience, non-magic players (especially non-TCG players in general) tend to be confused and disinterested, so the fact that the boys are seeing this as something cool to watch is honestly really cute. I like to think that Kenny had tried and failed to get his friends into Magic alongside him, so they knew the basics, but were too confused and frustrated from Kenny’s muffled explanations of the rules and were turned off by the perception of Magic being For Nerds to properly get into it. But Kenny hyped up the tournament SO much to make it sound cool, so the boys decide to go along with him to cheer him on. They find themselves genuinely interested, albeit a still a little confused, but seeing Kenny take people down with sheer strategy in a game that can heavily rely on how much money you’re willing to spend IS badass!
The setting. Ohhhh my god the setting can we talk about the setting.
This looks straight out of my own game store and I’m not exaggerating. The little war paints section especially, oh my god. The placement is EXACTLY the same. It’s a love letter to real game stores and I am here for it.
We see mana symbols throughout the episode, in banners around the store and on cards, but they don’t quite match up to the real MtG mana symbols and colors, shown below.
In the episode, black mana is represented with a triangle instead of a skull, and white (usually shown yellow in color, but that’s what it’s called!) is represented with a meteor instead of a sun.
Based on this, we can observe that Kenny is playing a blue and black deck in this first MtG scene!
This might have some significance if you wanna be overanalytical like me. Each combination of mana colors in magic has a set of character traits and strategies associated with it. (To name a few:) Blue is associated with a thirst for knowledge, being cold and calculating, counterspells, and trickery. Black is associated with self-indulgence, determination, death and reanimation, and destruction. Together, they represent secrecy, manipulation, counterintelligence, and trickery. Blue/black decks often make their opponents decks work against them. Black mana is an obvious choice for Kenny because of his association with death and revival from it, and I like to think this is him learning to grow more comfortable with his curse by bringing a symbol of it into a hobby. We've seen him embrace his curse by sacrificing himself multiple times (especially while as Mysterion) and this is another aspect of that! [Kenny, returning a card from his graveyard to the battlefield: wow just like me fr /j] Blue fits Kenny quite well emphasizing how much of a strategist he is, outwitting his opponents and using all resources he can to make a strong deck on a budget.
The above behind-the-scenes image of several card assets includes a basic land (staple cards that provide players with mana, resources used to cast spells), but in the episode, we see cards with just their respective mana symbol on them, referred to as "mana cards".
