The different eras of South Park: this is a short essay I wrote about how different seasons of south park can feel like a completely different show it's not super detailed but I had fun writing it. WC:940 CW: transphobia

I've always felt like different seasons of south park have there own distinctive different vibes so because why not here's in my opinion on the different eras of South Park

Classic south park seasons one

through three. If there's one way to describe these seasons it's tame at least in comparison to what the show would later become. Things that stick out about these seasons would be chef being a prominent character as well as being the boy's mentor in so many episodes. Kenny dying in every episode and so many iconic lines including but not limited to,

“Oh my god they killed Kenny!”

“You bastards!’

“Screw you guys, I'm going home.”

“Sweet”

And many many more, another thing that I feel is such classic south park is the boys behavior in these seasons despite going on wacky misadventures the boys still act their age and that makes the show so much more funny.

I know calling the movie the ending of this era and also saying season three is the ending of this era is contradictory because season 3 still had 12 episodes air after the movie released however they have the same vibe as episode that aired before the movie for the most part so I'm counting them, I will say the episode S3E10 Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery has a noticeably darker sense of humor then the rest of the season however most Halloween episodes do tend to do that so it still counts as classic south park in my opinion even though it along with episodes 6 through 17 of season three are in this weird Gray area.

The golden era seasons

four through eight this is when south park was at its peak in my opinion, while classic south park has its charm and has so many episodes I love I believe the golden era took what was so good about classic south park and made it better they added so many classic characters during this time that are so weird to think about being added in so late into the series such as Timmy,Jimmy and even the goth kids. Another huge change happened to Cartman. I'm of course talking about the fact he went from a stupid spoiled kid to someone that would murder your parents and feed them to you over sixteen dollars and twelve cents.

And now into the reason for my major bias for these seasons Timmy I think Timmy was one of the best additions to south park he is such a fun character and he adds so much to the series that I love so much, make an episode focusing on Timmy and it will instantly becomes one of my favorite and this era had so many great Timmy episodes (S4E3 Timmy 2000,S4E13 Helen Keller! The Musical and so many more), another reason Timmy is such a great character is the fact if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have Jimmy.

The show also wasn't afraid to take risk during this time killing off Kenny for real (or it least for almost 2 seasons),

This led to the show introducing butters or rather taking him from a one note background character to everyone's favorite silly little guy. It's so weird to think about South park without butters in it since he would become such a prominent character after season 5.

As we reach the end of this era there starts to be a decline in quality resulting in episode that I personally can't stand such as (S8E2 ∙ Up the Down Steroid, and S8E4 You Got F'd in the A).

And now we reach the era defined by one “joke” that I can't express enough how much I hate I am of course talking about the transphobia era season 9 episode one to season 12 episode 5 if you are somehow reading this and don't know what I'm talking about in the season 9 premiere

Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina, exactly what you think happens Garrison gets gender reassignment surgery and how do Matt and Trey tray portray this (not that I would expect them to do it in a respectful way in the first place). But these episodes focusing on Garrison can be summed up in one way: trans fem character is trans fem isn't that just hilarious (Matt and trey seem to think so at least).

that isn't to say all episodes in these seasons are bad there are actually some really good episodes that came out at in this era that I love S9E9

Marjorine,S9E12 Trapped in the Closet are just two examples.

Next we have what I would personally consider a south park Renaissance era of sorts while I 100% can understand why someone wouldn't like these seasons I however I love them if it isn't completely obvious from my blog I love the goth kid episode and this era includes the introduction of one of the most underrated minor characters in the series Vampir but that's besides the point. Episodes like

S12E14 The Ungroundable or S13E1

The Ring are hilarious.

As much I love these seasons unfortunately all good things must come to an end in this case the end came with something I don't think anyone would have expected south park to do have continuity between episode and that big change marked the most recent south park era seasons eighteen to season twenty-six (as of writing this). Modern South Park And confession time I haven't watched all of these episodes. I find a lot of episodes in this era boring so I tend to just stick to pre continuity episodes.

AN: I had a lot of fun writing this!

[misguidedasgardian]

I'm so disappointed with this show, I hated what they've been doing since atrocious b&c portrayal in e1, but this last episode (the leak) made me sick. Seriously, I don't understand how they managed to fumble this story so badly. And Aemond. He was one of the most popular characters after s1 with a good backstory and they should have just continued with it. The fact that even many TB fans liked him or found him interesting confirms this. But apparently Condal hated him so much and wanted to ruin him. He had so little screentime, they abandoned his character development and just decided to make him a one dimensional villain. However, I still understand him and won't bash him because I really dislike when the authors (and the narrative itself) are forcing me to hate a certain character. Also, I feel the same like with Daenerys after s8e4, he is basically all alone now, his mother betrayed him and revealed his war plans to the enemy, his sister tells him he'll die... It's just horrible. I hate those writers and what they did to the characters I loved.

Aemond was the only one I like of TG, I'm team black till the end so yeah I can confirm this! (don't get me wrong, I think all the ACTORS are incredible and are doing amazing, its the characters I don't like)

I said it recently, and I will say it again, I was team Mom's boy Aemond, I loved the relationship they had, specially when portrayed in S1E9, when he comforts her, and placed himself at her disposal... the way he held her... I was like damn Alicent, you might have showed disgusting favoritism, but at least, after everything and the horrible marriage with that walking corpse AT LEAST she has Aemond to show for it, despite all his flaws I thought he was going to be like a rabid dog in service of his family, because that is all he cares about... after the neglect from Viserys and his favoritism for Rhaenyra, he was going to be like... alright then... my FULL siblings and my mom, that's all I got... and that was burst into flames, for what?

He turned into a true villain, and not even a good one... like I get it, you want to be King, but at last, since Aegon didn't, they could have come to some sort of arrangement, right? do something better than what they did, I know they have a few minutes with each, but... dude..

he was such an interesting character... and they blew it up, i thought he at least was going to have... something... that was sacred to him, Helaena or his mother AT LEAST.... something! but he not even caring that his BABY NEPHEW lost his head because of him? it's insane, we all love a good villain with something... sacred to him, right??

And Aemond is only one of the many victims of this bananadnesss

And I don't like what they did with Rhaenyra either, I was so much more into that spoiled, darkish, tortured by her stepmother woman fromt he books, and she is too good, I think the writters got scared because of Dany, thought we wouldn't become Rhaenyra's apologists (they were wrong) hehehe

Anyways... LONG LIVE FANFICTION! we will keep them alive! as the show is assasinatings all of their characters! jejeje

JB Week 2023!!

i've been waiting for this!!! idk how much i'll participate but i'll start with today's question:

How did you discover JB?

so for YEARS my sister had been trying to get me to read the books and watch the show but it never really caught my attention, and then one of my friends started the show in like 2022 and she got obsessed so i started watching and i loved the show. i instantly latched onto jaime in particular, and i even liked him before s3 and his maiming although i have to admit it has to do with nikolaj coster walday being too perfect for this one human earth. anyways then i got to the later seasons (which i hated) and then to s8e4 where we finally get canon JB and it is ripped from our grubby little hands.

i was devastated w the show's ending and with both jaime and brienne's arcs, so i fell down the rabbit hole of video essays and then fanfic, where i started to read a lot of book!canon fanfic without realising it because i thought it would be similar to what happens in the show. and so i started to read the books in late 2022 and finished them around mid 2023, and here i am.

with the books i only seemed to grow more obsessed, i have all my editions tabbed with where the jaime and brienne chapters are and with separate colours for them while everyone else isnt as meticulously tabbed imo, and i constantly reread the jaime affc chapters because i genuinely think they're phenomenal and they help me process a lot of things. as of right now i would say im primarily a fan of the books (especially book JB) and i really want to reread them without having them as my focal point even though i do love and adore them sososo much.

anyways happy JB week to all!!!

South Park Filler Guide - Season 8

Link for Seasons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

PLS my analysis will have spoilers, if you’re a first time viewer, just scroll to the bottom and read the list and only read full text if you are familiar with the content of the show already! S8E1 Good Times with Weapons is FILLER

Yes! Everyone's favorite season premiere is a filler, baby! It was fun, we sang, we cried, in the end Butters never has a scar on his eye again. S8E2 Up the Down Steroid is LORE

We have a new tradition, which is that after last season's Krazy Kripples, we'll have a new Jimmy episode every year! And this is the first time we meet Nathan and the rest of the special education kids. S8E3 The Passion of the Jew is FILLER

I wanted to tell you this one was canon, because the season has constant mentions of Passion of the Christ so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter. S8E4 AWESOM-O is FILLER

Sooo if every anime filler was as good as these ones, the filler guides most likely wouldn't exist (or they would, because humans), but again, what we have is a self-contained story. S8E5 You Got F'd in the A is FILLER

At one point I might have convinced myself that what I'm doing with this recap makes some kind of sense, but alas, it doesn't. This became an episodic show and we miss out on all the best episodes. Why am I lamenting at You Got F'd instead of Good Times with Weapons? Because I'm a loose cannon with no regard for the law. That may be true, but I get the job done, God damn it. S8E6 The Jeffersons is CANON

No other Mr. Jefferson episode came out while Michael was still alive. As a hologram he later references his name being Jefferson again, but this one only ads a little more context to that. This one also pretty much introduced the new cops of South Park. S8E7 Goobacks is FILLER

Yes, Darryl and the Took our jobs meme are here, but it will return in enough episodes to still be understood. S8E8 Douche and Turd is CANON

What a great election episode! We get town lore (Stephen with the ram's horn again) and an allegory that will return in a big way later. S8E9 Something Walmart This Way Comes is FILLER

I regularly forget this one exists and doesn't make a difference at all. Sorry, got too subjective. Objectively this is an episode with a simple message and without a larger scope for the show. S8E10 Pre-School is FILLER

Trent Boyett never returned. But if you think about it, he is one of the boys' greatest foes. I wish one of the specials was a follow-up of the 15 year old versions of the characters meeting Trent again. If everything else fails, THAT would bring me back and change my classifications! S8E11 Quest for Ratings is FILLER

One time the boys played cops. They even played musicians. Now they play newsreaders. Only Jimmy is in for the long-run and he will get episodes that focus on that individually. S8E12 Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset is CANON

Not just because it's a follow-up to Death Camp of Tolerance, that in itself wouldn't be enough. But Paris also has an extended role in a specific later episode I mentioned a lot, but never dropped. It's 200 by the way. And 201. Now I am a bit picky of which ones to include if we got no other clue for an episode. The show never got to 200 celebrities at that point. Also, some of them were in that episode first. So only the most prominent ones get their debuts counted as canon ones by default. S8E13 Cartman's Incredible Gift is CANON

A character dies. Harrison Yates gets more role here as a detective, slowly drifting away from Barbrady. S8E14 Woodland Critter Christmas is FILLER

It's just in Eric's mind. Some of you are already mad at me for this. Some of you will only get it later and be mad at me in the season 11 post.

SPOILER-FREE RUNDOWN

Again, CANON means you should watch it, FILLER means you can skip it, LORE is somewhere in-between, any episode with the LORE label will have an explanation that helps you decide if you should include it or not. S8E1 Good Times with Weapons is FILLER S8E2 Up the Down Steroid is LORE* S8E3 The Passion of the Jew is FILLER S8E4 AWESOM-O is FILLER S8E5 You Got F'd in the A is FILLER S8E6 The Jeffersons is CANON S8E7 Goobacks is FILLER S8E8 Douche and Turd is CANON S8E9 Something Walmart This Way Comes is FILLER S8E10 Pre-School is FILLER S8E11 Quest for Ratings is FILLER S8E12 Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset is CANON S8E13 Cartman's Incredible Gift is CANON S8E14 Woodland Critter Christmas is FILLER

*Casually introduces the special ED kids

CANON counter:

S1: 9 out of 13  S2: 3 out of 18  S3: 6 out of 18  S4: 10 out of 17  S5: 8 out of 14  S6: 11 out of 17 S7: 6 out of 15 S8: 4 out of 14

Overall: 57 out of 126

[n1ghtwarden]

after giving up on s8e4 of my got rewatch i am once again saying the baenre are valyrian coded but they are the weird house who lives in a cave system they mine and despite there definitely BEING men they've only ever had a matron as the head of the house and all their fighters are women and they possibly have really fucking weird magic that keeps the matron alive

Cersei: If you have any last words now is the time

Missandei to Daenerys:

[snewtons-second-law]

“That one’s yours, Snow.”

[oakpear]

[ashtronomyyyy]

I was so scared for 8×03 that I didn't consider that 8×04 would be the real episode to mess me up

[cuntnymeria]

This is bullshit

This whole thing is bullshit

That’s a scam

Fuck d&d

Here’s 15 reasons why:

1. Arya is clearly in love with Gendry.

2. Gendry is clearly in love with Arya.

3. “I have a son you have a daughter we’ll join our houses”

4. “I can be your family”.

5. The smiles™️

6. Soft kisses.

7. Rough kisses.

8. He let Arya top him , even though we all know that he could have easily changed that.

9. The first thing he does after being legitimized is go and find Arya and tell her.

10. He called her beautiful?

11. She’s proud of him for being a lord?????

12. He said he loves her.

13. She showed him she loves him too.

14. “You will marry a high lord and rule his castle”

15. “You’d be m’lady”

[abhorsen-stark]

Just saying

1. Jaime and Arya are heading down to kill Cersei. Even odds on who manages it.

2. Rhaegal isn’t dead. I don’t get why, I don’t get how, but it feels like that’s what they’re implying??

3. Fuck how they treat Ghost and direwolves.

4. Fuck a lot of gender shit and race shit in this episode.

[ijennyathome]

Exactly.

[youhavelovelyeyes]

Theories about the Gendrya kiss in 8x04

I have seen the theories about Arya and Gendry kissing, but I really don’t believe it’s going to be a goodbye kiss (even though it could be). 

I don’t think Gendry, after this giant battle, will want to leave Arya’s side. After all, she’s the one who saved them all. 

I think Gendry’s always seen himself unworthy of Arya. He has underestimated her fighting the dead, until he saw just a little bit of what she was capable of. (You know, throwing blades around and everything...). But then I believe he just didn’t want her to fight not because he thought she wasn’t good enought, but because he only wanted her to be safe. 

Gendry has always tried to protect Arya, even when he knew he couldn’t do a lot. But after she defeated the Night King, he realized that she doesn’t need any protection, and in a way she doesn’t need him anymore. 

I feel like Gendry is going to be a bit unsure of himself because of that. He’ll think he’s not good enough for Arya. And that’s why I believe it’s not going to be a goodbye kiss, but more of a reassurance kiss.

Arya DOES need him. She needs him to stay connected to her humanity, to her old self, to the girl she once was, the girl who would have done anything to get back to her home when she lost it. Gendry is a reminder of those things. Arya will kiss him to reassure him that he wasn’t just a one-night-we’re-all-going-to-die-stand, rather than the choice she make. The choice she’ll make again, in different circumstances. Because she chose him. 

Plus : we still have to see them talking about her scars and I need that.
