#sometimes I wonder if this is something thats just way funnier when you're the one writing it

[vic-chaos]

Where do I even start- this might sound weird coming from some stranger but thank you- for rambling about south park so much lol. I felt like I needed to say this, I have some intense feelings about the Post Covid special and just hearing and relating to your thoughts is kinda comforting as I´m trying not to put too much thought into the ending scene because it´s upsetting me what they did to Cartman. To be honest, I´m not a fan of Rabbi Cartman either (I try not to be vocal about it as it seems a lot of people liked him… oh well), but how he ended up was just… too cruel. I dunno, I just love seeing people rant about this, I feel less alone with my unreasonably strong opinions about things that weren’t meant to be taken this seriously. And I keep finding myself chuckling about “why did they have to ruin everything right in the last few seconds what´s their obsession with doing that” at the most random times throughout the day, lmao. I´m saying, please never stop typing your thoughts bc I love reading them,,

Oh it's not weird at all!!! And thank you for this actually 🥺💕 I feel like I ramble a lot for someone whose not even intending to be like a commentary/analysis blog or anything, I just have a lot of strong feelings lmao. But I totally know what you mean about it being kind of cathartic to hear someone else rant about something you yourself are angry about, its like second hand getting it off your chest haha. And yeah! I mean, this show is intentionally ridiculous and not intended to be taken too seriously (also a comedy above all else - even though as fandom we're more interested in the character drama aspects of it), but it's also really hard not to get in too deep when you're emotionally attached... even if that level of attachment is against your will dfjsd. But at least you're not the only one for sure, like we are all here in this together lmao 😭

Also that about their obsession with ruining everything in the last few seconds:

I keep just kind of hoping everyone knows what I mean by this because I assume it pisses everyone else off as much as it does me jsdgbsdfjsf. But if anyone doesn't know what I’m talking about or has been wondering, it's something like..... hmm... I think the most glaring examples I can think of are episodes like the underpants gnomes one where they spend the whole ep explaining why big corporate businesses overtaking small local ones is harmful, and then right at the last second they're like "nevermind lol!! 🤪 we love big corporations actually! its the fault of the small local ones for their product not being good enough". And in the goobacks episode we spend the entire time learning that the solution to preventing the future from becoming uninhabitable is to look after the earth in the present, and then in the last few seconds they're like "actually this is stupid, fuck the environment!!". Like....... !?!?

These are just two examples but they do it SO often, sometimes in slightly different or more subtle ways (like Stan's parents getting divorced - this one happened twice actually - which they desperately need to, and everyone was happy and better off... then they get back together at the last minute for like, no reason? Just to make Stan miserable again?) Speaking of Stan's parents another clear example of this is dead kids, where we spend the whole time sympathizing with Sharon being the only person who is as worried about the situation as everyone else should be. And then when her son gets shot you expect Randy at least to understand her now? But instead SHE'S the one whose like "actually you're right, who cares lol!!"

I think the reason they find it funny is because it's a last minute reversal of expectations, because you're expecting the kind of happy or logical ending any other show would give you and its like - oh wait!!! actually, *long fart noise* instead.

But like.... I wish they would fucking stop doing this 😭 LMAO..... or at least don't do it in a way that fucks up character development, that's already a mess on this show.....

I hope you're still doing the fic/song prompts!! My songs are Green & Gold by Lianne La Havas and Wait for the Moment by Vulfpeck! I would love a fluffy headcannon for Criminal Minds and the Avengers (male pref). My HP house is Ravenclaw, and I've been called creative, stubborn, and passionate. I really admire intelligence and humor in others (and their baby, sarcasm). I love spending time binging comedy shows on Netflix and writing. Thank you!!

Thanks for the songs rec! I really liked Green & Gold and its trumpets + Vibe!

I shipped you with Spencer and Tony, and I’ve put the HCs under the cut

Spencer is…a bit of a loose cannon when it comes to binging your favorite shows together

Like, on the one hand, he gets super invested in them, especially if they’re more serious

And then he’s super cute bc he’ll lean forward to the screen and excitedly look over his shoulder to explain something to you

But on the other hand, he’s really good at either pointing out the inconsistencies in logic OR just straight-up predicting what’s going to happen because he remembers every single tiny little detail, especially if the show’s more of a drama

Which can get more than a little annoying, to the point of you forcing him to write his predictions down instead of saying them out loud

And it becomes something of a competition to see who can predict the most number of things correctly when he ropes you into doing it too

The loser pays for takeout that night

For comedies, he does this with punchlines

Sometimes he complains that his punchline is way funnier than the comedian’s

“And the pirate’s name was Theseus! Get it? After the Ship of Theseus paradox?”

“Spence, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about”

His arm around your shoulder so you can curl up against him

He always comes prepared with some kind of food

Late night dates (since his sleep schedule is a WRECK) complete w/popcorn, fluffy blankets, and sleep-deprived laughing fits over cheesy rom-coms, horrors, or comedy shows

Spencer’s sense of humor doesn’t always align with yours, so some comedies are hit or miss for him

 But he still watches these and laughs anyway because they make you happy and that’s good enough for him

Spencer just really loves these nights and will block off time from hanging out with the crew if you say you want to have a night watching Netflix, and he’ll usually try to find some shows to recommend so youtwo aren’t spending hours scrolling through to find something

Absolutely Does Not understand the quiet that writing requires

Will pester you during your writing time without even realizing it

Asks lots and lots of questions à About his inventions and your writing

“Who’s that character” “What are they doing?” “Wow, people sigh a lot, huh?”

“Tony, please, shut up”

Insists that you should be published

Even if you’re just writing for fun, not with any intent to publish, he keeps saying you should be

LOVES when you show him your writing because you’re sharing such an important part of your life with him

Praises almost everything about your writing

After a few sarcastic comments and questions, of course

“So which character am I? The dashing hero?”

“No, you’re the annoying one”

When you come to him with something you’re especially proud of, he holds onto it

“You should seriously look at getting this published”

“Tony, it’s not good enough for that”

“Are you kidding me? This is better than half of the books I read. You should get it published”

You forget about the conversation, but then, on Christmas, after opening plenty of gifts (Since he totally buys everything you could want), he comes to you with a final, small bag. It’s the smallest one you’ve been given

“What’s in here?”

“I wonder. Maybe you should open it”

Turns out, it’s a printed copy of the work you’d give him, complete with a minimalist cover, your name, a fake copyright page…it looks just like a real book

When you look up at him, wordless, he’s nervously fidgeting with some pen he’d found

“I told you it deserves to be published. I, uh, have a copy. Do you think you could sign it?”

He doesn’t get a chance to pull his copy from its hiding place before he’s wrapped up in a hug

Overall, he’s super supportive of your writing, whether it’s for work or just a hobby

He’s your biggest fan and will tell everyone about what you’re writing (if you give him the OK to do that, of course)

If you don’t give him the okay, he just talks about how amazing you are and how the world’s next bestseller is in progress

He just really loves you and your writing
