Betty Boogie's Avatars

I don't see many people talking about it, but one of the more interesting and most definitely the cutest characteristic of recent South Park is Trey Parker's daughter voicing some specific characters. Most viewers might not even realize how much impact she has on the actual show. For instance, when she has favorite pop songs, Trey makes sure to include them in the episodes, such as Humble in S21E1 or when she got into horse dressage, Trey made an episode about it (S25E4), and he specifically stays up to date about current children's trends through her. I'm here to take you on a journey of the characters she played, so naturally first comes Ike.

Ike Broflovski Ike had a lot of voice actors, famously voiced by the children of crew members. Betty's been voicing Ike since season 20, and that might just be a reason why Ike had such a big role in that season, since Trey evidently loved making his daughter say the silly obscene things Ike said. She started doing the voice when she was 3 years old, just like Ike is. And while she gained other roles, she still does Ike at the age of 10 in S26.

Hannah Williams Interestingly this first grader, Hannah, has been a background character since S9, waaay before Betty was even born. But she was never named and she never said a word. That changed, when in S21E2 she is singing at a school talent show, voiced by Betty. In S22 she continues voicing Ike and also she provides sound for the priest call whiste. ("I love Jesus! I love Jesus!")

As of S23 she is also credited for voicing the PC Babies, most prominently Riley, and a vegan boy, who might be a first or second grader, she is also Menorah in S24, the daughter of future Eric.

However an interesting shift happens at the end of The Return of Covid, in which we meet an entirely new character, Heather Williams (also mistakenly addressed as Heather Thomson before her on-screen appearance) who is decidedly a new fourth grader created specifically for Betty to voice.

We first see her watching Terrance and Phillip and eating ice cream. Then the boys (as adults from the future) blackmail her with a photo of her farting, since she can get Denver Nuggets tickets from her dad. Then she becomes a recurring character in S25, keeping the idea that whenever Trey thinks a line would be funnier if it came from the mouth of an actual child, he invited Betty to say it.

In Pajama Day she calls PC Principal a fascist and appears to be friends with Wendy and Millie. And she dares to argue with Eric about the correct pajama terminology at a kids meeting. In The Big Fix, she is seen in the main fourth graders' classroom, arguing with Stan, and it's clear Trey enjoys Betty opposing with his characters specifically.

I wonder if there's some history behind her voicing two characters named Williams. We know she played a girl called Harper at the South Park 25th Anniversary Concert specifically named after one of her friends, so Williams might be the surname of one of her friends as well. Soon, Heather fades into the background without any explanation, after the show seemingly decided to make her a regular, she gets replaced. Why? It seems like when Betty got 9 years old, Trey decided she should get a permanent character. Perhaps for that idea, they had a better design to use...

Back in S24, before either Heather Williams or Menorah Cartman got introduced, there was a Lil' Qties member who has never appeared before. She was specifically designed by Betty, seemingly already created to serve as her avatar (and I applaud Trey's bravery to represent her daughter as an anti-vaccine character). Still, I forgot about her, kept waiting for Heather Williams to have a role in S26, and instead when Stan's family buys a japanese toilet, which girl voiced by Betty shows up?

The blonde girl with the black jacket and bow. And she's officially named Betsy now. The personality is the same as Heather Williams: an assertive, outspoken girl who lashes out at Trey's characters without ever being talked back to. Except she is a different character in-show, and therefore none of the development and experience Heather had in the episodes count anymore. While both of them had exactly one season at this point, I believe Betsy is here to stay, since she is designed by her, named after her, so unlike Heather, she is a more personal avatar.

Betsy already seems to be friends with Nelly, Nichole, Bebe, Red, and to a lesser extent, on friendly terms with Wendy (although I can imagine their strong personalities would clash at some point), I hope they decide to expand upon her character and make her a mainstay. And it seems like that's the intent. Especially after Trey's father's day cake had Betsy's face on it. My theory is that Heather was supposed to stay relevant, but they just chose the Betsy design after a trial year. So if nothing else would change in their real life, I think it's safe to assume we can count on Betsy returning.

Hunter temptation phantom

trust

fandom: blaseball

summary: parker and his double talk early in the morning.

a/n: another selfship piece, me/my s/i is other parker; this takes place somewhere before s24.

It's about 5am in the morning, there's Bailey's in his coffee (it doesn't even taste good), and Parker MacMillan IIIII can't help but wonder where exactly his entire life went wrong.

He takes another long drink out of the chipped mug, shuddering. At the sound of footsteps he looks up-- Other Parker stands there, appearing in the doorway to the kitchen like some kind of phantom or hunter, backlit by one of the nightlights plugged into the main hallway.

"Hello," he says.

Parker swallows, leans back a little from the bar as he answers somewhat hesitantly-- "Hello."

Other Parker eyes him as he flips on the kitchen's secondary light, bathing them both in artifical dusk. He trots over to Parker and picks up the coffee cup, takes a sip from it, makes a face.

"I guess it runs in the family, huh?" he says.

Parker stares. "What?"

Other Parker seems to consider his next words carefully. "Gods aren't special," he says. "They're about as human as the rest of us. Almost."

Parker cocks his head at his double. "So you know for sure we're human?" he asks, among the multitude of questions burning in his mind now.

"I know I'm not a god," Other Parker answers. "Neither are you. Jury's still out on the human bit, sorry."

Parker rubs at his face. "What do you know about gods?" he asks, and Other Parker grins.

"They like to pretend," he replies, and takes another swig from Parker's drink. "They lie."

"Wyatt doesn't lie," Parker says, half conscious of the words coming out of his mouth. His hands itch quite suddenly.

Other Parker arches an eyebrow. "Wyatt?"

It's at this moment Parker remembers that Other Parker doesn't know, wasn't there, isn't as much as he is in terms of history. Of course the name is unfamiliar. Is there a way he can save this...?

"Is there some new god?" Other Parker continues. "I know about the squid."

"Everyone knows about the Monitor," Parker says. He shifts uncomfortably in his seat.

"So who's Wyatt?"

"The-- I mean, you don't know about the Grand Unslam?" Parker asks in return; Other Parker puts his hands on his hips and pouts at him.

"Five," he whines. "Don't ask dumb questions."

"It was before me," Parker says. "Wyatt Mason." He shakes his head. "What if I just show you?"

And he knows this isn't a good idea-- Parker keeps the Microphone as secret as Other Parker, maybe even more, but there's alcohol in him and Other Parker's expression is doing something to him.

Other Parker's eyebrows shoot to his hairline, and he soundlessly follows Parker when the other stands up and leads the way into the small, clean office next to his bedroom.

Parker gently pulls the shoebox he's tucked away into the dark of the office's closet shelf down and cradles it in his arms. "Come here."

Other Parker approaches him, looking unsure.

"This," says Parker, "is the Microphone."

He nudges the lid of the box open. Inside, carefully tucked into a bedding of soft fabrics, is what looks like a fairly typical mass market microphone.

When Other Parker reaches for it, Parker shrinks back, drawing the box closer to his chest. "Hey, I didn't say you could touch it!"

"This is a god?" Other Parker asks, head tipped to the side. "It doesn't exert like one. Is it asleep?"

"I think so," says Parker. He gingerly brushes a finger against the body of the Mic; it doesn't react, but he smiles softly anyway. "I think...I think maybe it just wants to rest for a while."

"Well, it's safe here," Other Parker says.

Parker blinks. "What?"

"I mean, it's with you," his double elaborates, and smiles at him, and it's not some smarmy sarcastic thing. Parker feels his breath catch.

For a second, he loses himself there--

Other Parker's smile widens, and his voice breaks Parker out of the sudden spell.

"Are you going to keep looking at me like that or...?" Other Parker trails off, gives Parker a knowing look as the smile twists into a smirk.

"Or what?" Parker replies, feeling his face burn.

"I don't know," Other Parker says, in a tone that Parker knows means he knows exactly what.

"Don't you dare," he says, and his heart's racing. "Don't you fucking dare do that to me right now."

Other Parker's grin is from ear to ear. "Do what?"

And then the Microphone hums.

The two of them look at the box, at the inert god.

"Oh," says Parker and laughs a bit. "Sorry, Wyatt-- did we wake you up? Go back to sleep."

The humming softens, the Mic stills. Parker carefully shuts the box and puts it back up onto the shelf.

Once he's closed the office closets door, he turns back to Other Parker, frowning. "Where were we?" he asks, and his double's eyes gleam.

"Good question, Five," he answers, almost purring as he speaks. "Where were we...?"

The temptation to slam Other Parker to the wall pushes against Parker's ribcage. He stifles it.

Other Parker is leaning lazily against the desk. He's looking at Parker with a new expression, something the commissioner can't really read.

"What?" he asks; Other Parker shrugs.

"You trust it?"

"Trust...trust it? The mic?"

"Mic, Wyatt, whatever," Other Parker says.

Parker is quiet for a minute, and all the tension between the two of them has drained out of the room, been replaced by something else.

"It can't do much asleep," he says finally. "I think."

"As long as it doesn't answer to anyone else it's probably fine," Other Parker says. "Is it like your friend? The tarot reader?"

"The Reader isn't a god," Parker says quickly.

"Are you sure?"

Parker hesitates. "The Fans aren't gods either."

Other Parker laughs. "Sure," he says, sarcastic.

Parker shakes his head. "The Monitor's nice," he says, and realizes he's grasping for straws here.

Other Parker shrugs again. "Are you sure?"

"What's with you and gods?" Parker asks.

"I don't trust them," Other Parker replies.

"No, you just don't trust Mom," Parker retorts.

Other Parker's face flickers darkly.

"No," he says. "I don't."

"You've never seen Her, though, not really," Parker says slowly and then trails off when he sees Other Parker shake his head. "When? When have--"

"I don't know for sure," his double admits, looking away. "It's...messed up. I can't tell if the memories are mine, or Prime's, or-- or even yours, but I've seen Her. I've known Her. I've--"

Other Parker takes a breath.

"I just don't trust gods," he says. "Not your Mic, and not your Mom."

Parker tries to meet his double's eyes, but Other Parker deliberately keeps looking away. "Do you want to get another drink?" he asks finally.

Other Parker, whose gaze rests on the office closest door, turns and looks back over his shoulder. "Yeah," he says after a second, and he sounds distracted, elsewhere. "Yeah, I would."

Parker reaches out, gingerly puts a hand on Other Parker's shoulder; his double flinches, and Parker quickly pulls his hand away. "Sorry."

He hears his double take a breath. "It's okay."

"...It's not, though?"

"Does it matter, Five?" Other Parker doesn't give him time to answer. "Let's just go get that drink."

The Voice now also has a broadcast channel on IG (like G) "Backstage pass" for those interested.

They also just posted a new promo pic for S24 and G looks 🔥

Thanks for finding that!

S25 only has one KO taping date because it has fewer contestants (10 person teams vs s24 has 14 person teams), so it has fewer knockouts.

The voice KO for Sunday are probably “sold out” bc they don’t want any more ticket requests (they always oversell). Weekend tapings tend to see a lot more ticket requests then weekday. I wouldn’t be totally surprised if it ends up being only 3 KO tapings though instead of 4

Thanks.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – The Upcoming Champion Of 2025

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be a standout in Samsung’s Galaxy S series, featuring high-end enhancements in design, display, performance, and camera quality, all customized to meet the needs of tech enthusiasts and premium users.

Design and Display

Samsung is rumored to be introducing a stylish, more functional design in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, giving it a polished feel. The device will incorporate a titanium frame—a feature already seen in the Galaxy S24 Ultra—which combines durability with a lighter weight. The expected dimensions of 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2 mm suggest a slightly taller and narrower phone than the Galaxy S24 Ultra, while a weight reduction to 219 grams makes it even easier to handle.

Samsung will likely equip the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, rumored to feature an LTPO 3.0 technology for variable refresh rates between 1Hz and 120Hz. This upgrade aims to optimize power consumption and offer smoother visuals. The display will likely retain a QHD+ resolution (1440×3080 pixels), providing sharp image quality and vibrant colors, which Samsung has been known for. The device might also include an anti-reflection coating, like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, to enhance outdoor visibility.
