i will think of something clever for here later

I don't care for this meme, but I'm still here!

From:

So ... fail? God, I'm just so glad someone replied at all. I saw Bissli at the supermarket today and it reminded me of you.

From:

Been ages since I ate it - but it's really good! When are you coming for a visit?

From:

I dunno, that's a good question. After my proposal is passed (presumably in November...) I can make plans to go to Egypt/Israel/Turkey. When are you going to Japan?

From:

In October. It would be a shame if we'll miss each other! Are you sure going to Egypt now is a good idea? (Then again - same could be said about Japan).

From:

I'll definitely let you know what I'm planning on doing. I have to actually go to the places I'm studying regardless of whether it's a good idea, I suppose. I bet you understand this, too.

From:

Do I...

By the way, what does non-romantic OTP means? Like sex friends?

From:

I assumed, like, nonsexual BFF. Like, Stan and Kyle if you assume they're just friends. But I think sex friends also works...

Butterssss?

From:

Hi anon! Oh my god, you've made me so happy. I thought everyone hated me and hated this meme! Good morning! Oh my gosh. Sorry the comments keep screening. I tried to fix this but who the fuck knows.

* How I FEEEEEL about this character
I love Butters and don't understand why some people are so vehemently anti-Butters or vehemently defensive about Butters. He's a funny character. Now, obviously, sometimes he's funnier than other times. I don't think everything he does is hilarious automatically by virtue of the fact that he's doing it. Fandom-wise, man, people have no idea what to do with him. He often gets cursed with the characterization that he's a complete idiot. I try to write Butters with at least some kind of dignity, but I bet people hate it. Oh, well.

* All the people I ship romantically with this character
I'm way more interested in seeing Butters written well than in who he's paired with. I've written him in various ways with Bradley, Dougie, Kenny, Cartman, Clyde, male OCs, female OCs. I guess I think Cartman/Butters only works when Butters like Cartman and Cartman is actually straight but stringing Butters on for some plot point. Kenny/Butters is completely insane and I hate how people do that most of the time.

* My non-romantic OTP for this character
Cartman. Honestly, Butters probably is the only person who can even begin to attempt to relate to Cartman as a human being. They're probably BFFs, with Butters being overly accommodating and Cartman being totally codependent.

* My unpopular opinion about this character
I'm sure Butters is neither gay nor meant to be gay nor meant to grow up as gay in canon.

* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
I wish they'd not put that vampire episode on TV. That was pretty bad. There was a good scene or two, but seriously, Butters doesn't seem like the type to fall for trends. Also, it was pretty bad. Also, Butters works best when he's sort of out-of-focus, maybe.

Yay, this was fun! Ask me more stuff.

From: (Anonymous)

Yay! Hello, good morning! Okay, so I totally don't get all the Butters hate, either. And I also agree that no one fucking knows how to write him. Except you, apparently. I'm totally down with all of your Butters that I've read.

Cartman and Butters together might be my favorite thing on the show. Not sure how I feel about actually shipping them. I agree that it would have to be some weird unrequited thingamajig to work. (You've written Butters with Bradley? Where is this shit?)
I hate how ~~most people~~ everyone writes Kenny/Butters, but I think it's kind of a charming concept. I just wish someone would do it right.

The vampire episode was shit. I like the part where he gives Cartman a hickey, though.

Um, um, now do Clyde? In the spirit of that ferris wheel fic. Or Stan...? Or both! I don't know.

From:

(Butters/Bradley is a background pairing in this long boring 1980s AU I've been writing. No one reads it and it's not even currently happening, it's something that happened in the past. I've written, like, prequel materials for the story that have Bradley and Butters, though. Ugh, why, why is this what happens.)

Sweet, here's both:

* How I FEEEEEL about this character
Clyde is awesome. He's a crybaby with a colostomy and only one testicle. No one does him justice.

* All the people I ship romantically with this character
Realistically, he would probably grow up pathetically boring, marry some dim decent-looking girl and live in South Park until he died. I guess I like him with Kenny, a pairing that makes no sense, but I did so much legwork trying to make it happen that I can't undo it in my mind, I suppose. Someone could convince me easily if they wrote an amazing Clyde/Token story, but no one will.

* My non-romantic OTP for this character
Token.

* My unpopular opinion about this character
Clyde/Kevin isn't that interesting.

* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
"Lice Capades" was the most boring examination of Clyde's character. So I wish they'd give him an episode that wasn't half-devoted to, like, insects. Then again, I'm not sure South Park does a good job putting the focus on any character other than SKKE. I guess what I really want to see is an episode that has more Clyde/SKKE interaction. He and Cartman are pretty funny.

* How I FEEEEEL about this character
Stan is my favorite character on South Park and my favorite character to write about in fanfic. I get frustrated when I see him reduced to any kind of emo wuss or meathead jock kind because he deserves so much more than that.

* All the people I ship romantically with this character
Kyle. Period. OTP. I've written about Stan fucking all sorts of characters who aren't Kyle, but it totally doesn't mean anything.

* My non-romantic OTP for this character
Kyle. Canon. It's kind of the basis of the entire show.

* My unpopular opinion about this character
That he's not boring. At all. That it's other people's frustration with the ubiquity of Stan in fanfic that makes people assume he's not worth dealing with.

* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
Oh, god. Well, clearly I hope Stan gains some perspective in the next episode. Also, I hope Kyle comes around and realizes that being a dismissive little shithead isn't the right way to handle a friend who's depressed. Because South Park is a soap opera and Matt and Trey always take the path of emotional healing over LOLOLOLOL farting.

From: (Anonymous)

(Ohhh, that one. That looks fucking awesome. No, I haven't read it either. But 1980s AU fuck yeah.)

Yay, I get both. Thanks dawg, this is fun.

Yeah, I don't get that whole Kevin/Clyde thing. Kevin who?

Now that I think about it, Clyde's episode being half-devoted to insects is actually pretty lulz in itself.

Hold on. I have an idea. You should write that Token/Clyde fic! YEAH.

Stan's the best. He deserves more love. More than Kyle gets, I daresay. I don't even like Kyle that much, but S/K is my OTP too. Can't deny it. I'm so excited for the next episode! Character development makes me so happy. Kyle being a shithead makes me sad.

From:

(No obligation. People resoundingly dislike it. And people are always right.)

I'm having fun, too. But you keep asking me about characters I actually like. I'm not writing Token/Clyde fic. I have too much to do. And Stan is awesome, and Kyle's a bit overrated; not because he's bad, he just gets so much, both on the show and in the fandom.

But, seriously. No one ever talks to me. Who are you.

From:

you know who is wrong? you. for thinking people who are wrong are right.

yeah. you think about that. yeeaah.

From:

I'm thinking about it.

Also staring at rabbit GIFs, awwwwww. And writing rabbit posts.

Wait, no, is this you?

From:

i'm me. i'm not that chump over there, using nir shift key like some kind of elitist socialist chumpist.

chump chumpy chump.

From:

also i'm already busy enough as is being courtanie, okay.

From:

Hi, you. Do you have a character request?

From:

I know, girl, it's hard, working at Michael's and like reading Mein Kampf, it's hard to do that stuff.

From:

Cartman's mom.

From:

* How I FEEEEEL about this character
Pretty good, actually. She's quite funny and has been graced with character development ... that is also funny, because it prompts hilarious interaction with Cartman.

* All the people I ship romantically with this character
Kenny? Oh, what the fuck, every single person. She's a fucking crack whore.

* My non-romantic OTP for this character
Well, there's no platonic love like a mother for her pookiekins.

* My unpopular opinion about this character
I never, ever thought Cartman and Kyle were related. Ever. Does that count?

* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
As long as they write her funny, I don't care. Getting exasperated with Eric's bullshit seems to be a new thing, so it's not old yet.

there's some kind of Hitler watercolor joke in here, I know it.
