#kyman week 2021

[gaystan]

PRESENTING ME AND @11x13kyle's FIRESIDE CHATS WITH KYLE AND ERIC AKA NICHE INTERNET MICROCELEBRITY AU:

cartman and kyle host a podcast called fireside chats with kyle and eric that’s basically just red scare, cartman is dasha and kyle is anna

they're constantly beefing with each other on twitter and some people are convinced it's staged to promote the show but kyle just hates cartman That Much

a majority of their listeners are just there for the occasional mention of their batshit childhood experiences amongst all the terrible political takes

like "umm i don't wanna hear this insane opinion on al gore i want to know more about how you guys swear that he tried to get you to help him kill manbearpig when you were 8"

fans wonder if these events are true or if they're enabling each other's schizophrenia

cartman is always saying the worst reactionary things while kyle's takes are deceptively normal until he hits them with one that makes listeners go hey WHAT?

kyle resents being called a reactionary but cartman LOVES it, wears the label like a badge of pride

there is CONSTANT discourse about whether or not cartman's antisemitism is ironic or not, with the reasoning "why would kyle be friends with him if it was genuine," and kyle regularly takes to twitter to say "IT IS NOT IRONIC."

kyle peaks the mic multiple times an ep yelling at cartman, says they'll edit it out in post, never gets cut because neither of them can edit

reddit posts go up are after every episode giving timestamp warnings for when kyle gets super loud

cartman has a christian music era, gets tradcath allegations and does little to discourage them

there are people who rpf ship kyman. cartman knows about this and tweets at fans asking them to send him fic recs

secretly jacks off to them

has a bit where he gives a shout out to his favorite kyman fic of the week and kyle breaks the mic every single time screaming at him

he posts unbelievably cringy "ironic" thirst traps to his instagram story at night and "ironic" drag pictures but the outfits and makeup are too good to be a joke

he also posts pictures of butters in bed with like bites on his neck to brag about getting hot tail but it's also just as unsexy

this is how he accidentally comes out, he was so distracted by the need to flex that he forgot he's still trying to beat the gay allegations

the "ironic" kyman fic jokes stop being funny

butters is adam friedland and kenny is the girl he cheated with

the butters show is cohosted with dougie and part of the alt right pipeline

stan is kyle's offline boyfriend in a B list rock band and wears fireside merch on stage sometimes

this includes the isis shirts which he swears up and down he didn't know were isis shirts

deeply apolitical by choice so whenever kyle talks to him about podcast stuff he nods along like whatever you say honey

he still listens to it he just tunes out of the political talk

the day his fans find out he's gay is the biggest day for them since his 2021 single hit the hot 100

everyone analyzing his old lyrics like oh my god. this was about a MAN. it all makes sense.

kenny is a twitter microceleb and socialite, much like with cartman controversy is part of the brand

gained thousands of followers over the butters cheating discourse

thirst tweets about kyle and they're secretly unironic

comes on fireside and rates youtubers he's slept with, kyle is disgusted and cartman is delighted

chapo trap house is craig and those guys

the history of wendytestabrat (and some good news you’ll like)

so here’s the thing, i was trying to get logged back into my wendytestabrat page a couple weeks ago, but ig wouldn’t let me and i was like damn bc ALL MY OLD RANTS AND ANALYSES (MY ORIGINAL ONES) WERE GONE FOR GOOD. but then i just remembered that i actually saved all my old rants in a google doc a longass time ago right before i disabled the page. so get ready ima be posting some of my VINTAGE south park, kyman, wendy, & stendy rants on here that were from 2020 - early 2021. which i’m glad af abt bc i’m tired of writing new kyman shit rn so at least i can still keep feeding ya’ll with content. so from now on if the post says (from the vault) it’s the old vintage shit.

[mirrorshards]

Do you have any good stenny fic recommendations? I've really been getting into shipping them because of your art, but idk where to start 😅

Hi! first of all I'm flattered!! I'm happy you like my depiction of them 🥺💞

I actually don't read too many fics, and when I do I'm quite picky 🙈 however! I do have a few to rec!!

I'm gonna list all of basu's stenny btw cuz basu's stenny is so GOOD. her stan makes my bones hurt in how much he just needs someone to understand him. and her kenny is so handsome and sensitive... 🥺anyway

Happy Birthday - "Stan turns 18 and nothing feels different." (basu's words, the best description tbh) (chapter 2 is NSFW)

basu's stenny week fics for 2021!! they're all adorable so you should just go for the whole thing tbh. that being said my faves out of those are:

Right in Front of You - stan feeling misplace at a halloween party since he's no longer dating wendy

Some Things Have Changed - the boys form a band and things are a little messy

and also, The Weight - this one's Kyman/Stenny multichapter and the stenny front starts a little slow but it's so good.. I've returned to this one like 3875345 times cuz I also read it almost a year before basu ever posted. it's so.. heartfelt and painful at times and aagh. seriously my fav stenny of hers and she knows! meanwhile kyman are being insufferable the entire time and it's the ONLY kyman depiction tbh. I seriously built so many of my headcanons over this (this one's rated M!!)

and a couple of others I also liked and are sadder:

See You Later, Kenny - LexisGrey - really touching and sad but also bitterweet! I won't say too much so I won't ruin it

You Can't Have Us Both - DayDreamingIsMyHobby - this one's just painful but it's the good kind. you can sorta guess from the title-- (also rated M)

I had a few more to rec but I just found out they're gone so u_u not anymore

[shortkingkenny]

Why do you think k2 isn't popular anymore?

hi anon! I love to talk so I'll answer this but I'll preface it by saying that although I'm not new to South Park, I'm newer to its fandom. I joined in like 2021 and by that point k2 had already fallen out of favor! before that I just observed it peripherally.

I think it's probably for a few reasons.

of the three main 4 ships for Kyle, it's obvious why k2 is the least popular of the lot. the other two have popular shipping tropes built in (best friends and rivals). there's also not a lot of canon moments to point to, you know, k2 doesn't have a "Guitar Queer-O" or a "Crack Baby Athletic Association" or whatever, really, whereas style and kyman have several such episodes. like I guess you have "Jewbilee" but a lot of people write off those early seasons. (and you have the Mysterion trilogy... to ME. pivotal k2 moments)

and I could end it there because that explains it for the most part but you're right. I think there was a time k2 was more popular than kyman at least (style was always reigning champ until creek took the crown!!!).

I personally believe that fandom (in general, not specifically SP) in recent* years has developed this sort of obsession with Ships Becoming Canon and that some ships are More Canon and therefore More Correct than others which has throttled both crackshipping and multishipping.

like idk there were obviously ship wars (nasty ones!) and OTPs in the 00s and 2010s, but it felt like people were more open to imagining the possibilities and potential between characters who may not have had much (or any) interaction, based solely on their personalities. there's a lot to say about the evolution of fandom as a whole but that's not your question.

so people have kind of settled on their one ship per character and that's it. most Kenny ships have been snuffed out by something or other (fitting) except for one. and that's bunny. and because it's got that one episode, it's now the Most Correct choice for him.

sorry you asked about k2 and I turned this into another complaint about the loss of Kenny biking :''( anyway, I think the appeal of k2 is the potential. you also can't approach it the same way you do style or kyman which I do think has stifled its popularity. this post, despite the broken links, is one of my favorite explanations of their fandom potential that also keeps in mind that we're working within the confines of what we're given. that is to say, South Park doesn't exactly lend itself to this sort of overwrought thinking but we all do it anyway.

it's not dead tho. plenty of people do still ship it and love it!! and I hope you support the @k2-fanzine when it comes out. but yeah you're right, it's lost steam and there's more reasons than what I've listed but I talk too fucking much.

*and by recent, I mean recent! I reblogged this list of character and ship weeks from the far off year of 2019 that @6ftkyle found while deep diving his old SP blog. look at all that!

anyway you should ask my bestie @6ftkyle these questions. he's the k2 guy. I'm actually a kyman truther but I think Kenny's gonna catch his mans Kyle in his fall from grace from their inevitable divorce.

and shout out to @deny-the-bird who asked for a shout out.

Here are the unfinished pieces of the rest of Kyman Week 2021

Day 5 - Confession/Assburgers

Day 6 - First Date/Kyley-B and Bad Irene

Day 7 - Free Day (Arrows)

[kymanweek]

Dear Kyman Week followers.

If you've been observant, you might have noticed that Kyman Week hasnt been happening like usual this year. The reasons to this are many - mainly that the admins has been busy with irl stuff, as well as other circumstances. But in the end, this has lead to little to no planning happening at all, hence Kyman Week not happening at the same time as it usually falls.

At any other circumstances, this would mean giving up on this year. However, both admins are still interested in making Kyman Week happen, just at a later date.

However, we dont know if you guys feel the same.

Is there interest in Kyman Week potentially being arranged at a later date? (a hypothetical date at the moment is August 1-7th, seeing as people would need time to draw for the prompts)

This is mainly a interest check to see if Kyman fans are still interested in making this week happen.

With regards, the Kyman Week staff.

But if you never try, you'll never know

By:  grossalien

Stan wants to try being gay and Kenny is willing to help him out.

“ “I hope that’s oka-'' Stan's sentence was cut short by Kenny kissing him impromptu. It didn’t take long for the surprise to turn into reciprocation as he held tightly onto the orange parka. He felt his own hat fall off as they rolled on the mud, clothes getting dirty. Stan had always liked deers but, right now, he felt particularly grateful for them. “

WELCOME BACK TO OUR FOURTH ANNUAL EDITION OF KYMAN WEEK!

Kyman Week is an appreciation event for every kyman shipper out there that will take place between 1st to 7th of August.

Just like last year, this edition will be very special because we’re having 13 prompts for the entire week! That means 2 prompts to choose between per day! Those two prompts are based in two running themes alongside the other: Canon Alternative Universes and Touch & Love. They aren’t obligatory to use together as they are independent prompts, but if you want to combine them please feel free to do so!

The shippers can create any form of fanwork based on their interpretation of the prompts, it can be edits, fanfic, cosplay, fanart… anything! Creativity is the key!

The intent is to share your love for the ship and to have fun of course, even the fans who don’t participate will be able to enjoy the new content, everybody wins (˘⌣˘ ) ♡

The works will be reblogged on this blog for each one of the days and at the end everyone that did something will be on a thank you post linking to their blogs with special attention to the ones that did something for all of the days! We also have a special gift for those who complete all the days.

To participate you just have to post your work with the theme of the corresponding day and mention this blog or use the #kymanweek or #kymanweek2021 tag so it’s easy to find it.

Here are the descriptions of the prompts, under the read more cut.

Day 1: Hand Holding / The Fractured But Whole

Kyle and Cartman have been at each other’s necks since the beginning of time yet somehow the idea of holding hands seems the most insane of them all. Will they manage to intertwine their fingers together or will they get too embarrassed for that?

OR

How do the Coon and the Human Kite feel about each other? They’re on the same side, after all.

Day 2: Forehead Touching / Stick of Truth

Touching foreheads is a pretty intimate gesture where both sides touch each other’s forehead with their own. How would it happen with Kyle and Cartman?

OR

Cartman is the Grand Wizard King and Kyle is the High Jew Elf King Kyle. They lead different factions and have been rivals for as long as they can remember…or are they?

Day 3: Headpats / Crack Babies Athletic Association

Head patting can be done playfully or just to tease the other person. However, it is indubitable that it denotes fondness. Between Kyle and Cartman, who would pat the other’s head?

OR

Our favorite rivals form an unlikely alliance in the quest to get easy money. Turns out, despite being formidable enemies, Kyle and Cartman are even better when they work together. Is that all there is to it, though?

Day 4: Cheek Smooch / Baseball

How would Kyle or Cartman take it if the other kissed him in the cheek? Would it be a practical joke or something more?

OR

Kyle has observed Cartman has good coordination and sharp reflexes, which makes him fitting to be a catcher. What else is happening between these two when they play baseball?

Day 5: Confession / Ass Burgers

Feelings that have been held back for so long, words that they’d never thought they would be uttering to each other. How would Kyle and Cartman confess their love for the other?

OR

After Kyle dumps Stan for being depressed, Cartman and him start a business, born out of the admiration Kyle has for the burgers Cartman makes. Is this the beginning of a new chapter for the boys?

Day 6: First Date / Kyley-B & Bad Irene

Kyle and Cartman have already acknowledged they have feelings for each other, they even know the other feels the same way. Now it’s time to do something about it, to have their first date. Will it be fantastic or a disaster?

OR

Kyley-B is the rudest, trashiest version of Kyle and Bad Irene is Cartman’s slutty persona that he made for their wrestling show. What would happen if these alternative selves of the boys met?

Day 7: Free Day

It’s the final day of the week! Was there something you felt like you couldn’t include in the prompts you wanted to do? Now is the time to show it.

ARE YOU READY FOR KYMANWEEK? WE ARE STARTING NOW! ❤️💚_____________________________________

¿ESTÁN LISTOS PARA LA KYMAN WEEK? ¡COMENZAMOS AHORA! ❤️💚

[kymanweek]

¡SEAN BIENVENIDOS UNA VEZ MÁS A NUESTRA CUARTA EDICIÓN ANUAL DE LA SEMANA KYMAN!

La Semana Kyman es un evento apreciativo para cada shipper de la pareja y tendrá fecha entre el 1ro y el 7mo día de Agosto.

Al igual que el año pasado, esta edición será muy especial porque tendremos ¡13 prompts (o tramas) para la semana entera! Lo que significa que brindamos la posibilidad de elección entre dos tramas por día. Estas mismas tramas serán basadas en dos temas puestos en marcha de manera conjunta: Universos Alternativos Canónicos y Caricias & Afecto. Naturalmente no son obligatorios de usar de manera conjunta, puesto que son tramas independientes; si quieres combinarlas, no obstante, ¡siéntete libre de hacerlo!

Los shipper pueden crear cualquier forma de fanwork basado en la interpretación de las tramas, pueden ser edits, fanfic, cosplay, fanart… ¡Lo que sea! Tu creatividad es la clave.

La intención es compartir tu amor por la pareja y divertirte, por supuesto. Inclusive los fans que no participen podrán disfrutar del nuevo contenido. Todos ganan. (˘⌣˘ ) ♡

Los trabajos serán compartidos en la página para cada uno de los días y, al final, todos los que hayan hecho algo serán colocados en un post de agradecimiento, adjuntando un link para acceder a sus páginas, prestando más atención a los que hicieron algo para todos los días. También tenemos un regalo especial para quienes hayan completado todo.

Para participar solo tienes que publicar tu trabajo con el tema correspondiente al día y mencionar a la página o usar el tag: #kymanweek o #kymanweek2021 con tal de que sea fácil de encontrarlo y compartirlo.

Aquí están las descripciones de las tramas, debajo del leer más.

Day 1: Agarre de manos / Retaguardia en peligro

Kyle y Cartman han estado tras el cuello del otro desde el principio de los tiempos, pero de alguna manera la idea de tomarse de la mano parece la más loca de todas. ¿Conseguirán entrelazar los dedos o se sentirán demasiado avergonzados por eso?

Ó

¿Cómo se sienten el Mapache y el Cometa Humano acerca del otro? Están en el mismo bando, después de todo.

Day 2: Tocar la frente / La Vara de la verdad

Tocar la frente es un gesto bastante íntimo en el que ambas partes tocan la frente del otro con la suya. ¿Cómo pasaría con Kyle y Cartman?

Ó

Cartman es el Gran Rey Mago y Kyle es el Gran Rey Elfo Judío. Lideran diferentes facciones y han sido rivales desde que tienen uso de razón... ¿o no?

Day 3: Palmadas en la cabeza / Asociación Atlética de Bebés Crack

Las palmaditas en la cabeza se pueden hacer en broma o simplemente para burlarse de la otra persona. Sin embargo, es indudable que denota cariño. Entre Kyle y Cartman, ¿quién acariciaría la cabeza del otro?

Ó

Nuestros rivales favoritos forman una alianza única en la búsqueda de obtener dinero fácil. Resulta que, a pesar de ser enemigos formidables, Kyle y Cartman son incluso mejores cuando trabajan juntos. Sin embargo, ¿eso es todo lo que hay ahí?

Day 4: Beso en las mejillas / Béisbol

¿Cómo se lo tomarían Kyle o Cartman si el otro lo besara en la mejilla? ¿Sería una broma pesada o algo más?

Ó

Kyle ha observado que Cartman tiene buena coordinación y unos reflejos agudos, lo que lo hace apto para ser el receptor del equipo. ¿Qué más está sucediendo entre estos dos cuando juegan béisbol?

Day 5: Confesión / Ano Berger

Sentimientos que se han reprimido durante tanto tiempo, palabras que nunca pensaron que se estarían diciendo el uno al otro. ¿Cómo confesarían Kyle y Cartman su amor por el otro?

Ó

Después de que Kyle deja a Stan por estar deprimido, Cartman y él comienzan un negocio, nacido de la admiración que Kyle siente por las hamburguesas que hace Cartman. ¿Es este el comienzo de un nuevo capítulo para los chicos?

Day 6: Primera Cita / Kyley-B & Bad Irene

Kyle y Cartman ya han reconocido que tienen sentimientos el uno por el otro, incluso saben que el otro siente lo mismo. Ahora es el momento de hacer algo al respecto, de tener su primera cita. ¿Será fantástico o un desastre?

Ó

Kyley-B es la versión más grosera y basura de Kyle y Bad Irene es la personalidad cachonda de Cartman que creó para su programa de lucha libre. ¿Qué pasaría si estos yoes alternos de los chicos se encontraran?

Day 7: Día libre.

¡Es el final de la semana! ¿Hubo algo que sentiste que no podías incluir en las tramas que pasaron y quisiste elaborar en tu fanwork? Ahora es momento de mostrarlo.
