I searched the page for the PW kanji or hiragana or whatever it is, but it wasn't there. So, no idea. I would be perfectly happy with adult Stan and Butters in an office-setting, though, because it's such an alternative pairing. Didn't that artist do those StanxKy pictures where one was an adult, the other was a kid, and vice versa?
Here you go: Stan is salaried workers (known as SUTANRIMAN) to expand the original axis of the magnificent drama of the day.
FIC IDEA???
Do you read Japanese or kanji or anything like that? 'Cause I sure as hell don't. And as for this person's other work, I just stumbled upon it like, right now, and I don't know what the hell is going on, except that there was a little Stan with an adult Stan and going by the shitty Babel Fish translation, maybe it was a Stan/Kyle ass baby or something? But I really didn't get it.
(I really like this person's work. You have this bookmarked? No kidding.)
Oh my god, I'm dying here. I love how translations make everything sound so fucking EPIC. "Expand the original axis of the magnificent drama," known in America as GOING TO WORK. I'm only tickled because I'm coming off a huge shift and I seriously doubt I expanded any original axes.
WRITE OFFICE!STAN, PLZ. I would kill to see the SP kids doing something mercilessly mundane.
No, I sure wish I read it. I just copy-pasted from Wikipedia. I scanned the blog and didn't see some of her old pics there. Here are the ones I'm talking about (sorry, too lazy to give you pretty links):
Epic translations really do it for everyone, right? The best is when you have no idea what they were originally getting at. Which, original axis, I was like, what about Nazis? (Is it too personal to ask where you work? And if it makes you feel better, I think you've expanded plenty of fan porn axes.)
Office!Stan? I could try. Is antiques dealing mundane enough for you? Eh, probably not.
Okay, those are pretty freaky. I've always been bad about saving art. For some reason little Stan kissing adult Kyle feels really wrong, but I have no qualms about the reverse. And no, I don't have the handjob one. Please tell me you have it. And that I can see it.
I really need to learn how to do small font.
Oh, hey, my dad just pronounced sofa "sofo." What a dude.
My best friend and I once had an online conversation by putting everything in Babel Fish French, and it took like four hours for that to get old. Oh, Nazis...I sure wish I had thought of writing WWII fic before it became a trend. Same with that KennyxKyle Titanic AU, to a lesser extent. DON'T JUDGE. (I work at fucking GameStop, which sucks because it was supposed to be a feministic thing, but ended up being a me-defending-my-obscure-video-game-knowledge-against-bigots thing and not making sales goals unless my shirt accidentally gets halfway unbuttoned. Fan porn is way more fun.)
Really, anything that gets Stan in a suit and tie would do me. I actually think antiquing is pretty damn interesting, though I will admit I've never been.
I'm better with young!Kyle and old!Stan, too, but neither of them really bother me. Too much time on the shota boards on 7chan, methinks. I don't know why I said "presumably" a handjob. It is definitely a handjob. But I lied; I actually don't know if this is the same artist, I just got thrown by the similar bright colors. Take a gander anyway:
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Kenny/Kyle Titanic AU? Link, please. (I like how at this point I'm basically begging you for links to things.) Also, yeah, there have been a lot of Nazi fics lately. Well, like three, but still. I really don't think Cartman would have made a good Nazi. He might be a bigot, but he's incredibly lazy and wouldn't take orders well.
Hey, I bought something at GameStop once. Two things, actually. One of these things definitely wasn't Madden 02 for N64 or anything like that. Wait, what? Forget I said that.
I will keep Stan in a suit in mind. The last thing I need is another reason to start writing a story about anything. Maybe I can work it into something? I swear to god, this antiquing story thing is going to be finished by the end of this month or I will seriously flip.
Okay, yeah, that's a handjob. I have a feeling it is by that same artist, but that's neither here nor there. I like how Stan is staring at his hand like, hey, what's this? And Kyle is holding onto him for dear life with his pants magically secured around his thighs like that posture would ever work in real life. Thank you for sharing. I'm only sorry I don't have any magic little boy handjob pictures to give you in return.
God, I can't find it now! It was a work in progress; maybe the author took it down. I liked it, it was just slightly formulaic, but what can you do with straight-from-movie AUs? You could try looking for it. I'm pretty sure it was called "Ship of Dreams." If you can't find it, I might have to be a scavenging bitch and write it or make you write it or something. I quietly admit to loving that movie. Oh, I never thought of Cartman making a poor Nazi, but you're right. On the other hand, Kyle would still make an excellent revolutionary. I need to reread those fics now.
Haha, fucking N64, I just bought the South Park game for mine!! Have you played it? I forced my guy friend to mess around on the menu for like fifteen minutes because it makes a farting sound every time you click something. That game is the absolute height of comedic maturity, I swear.
Do you tend to write slowly? I would hate that. I actually write extremely fast, but not often; I've written 20 something pages in the last three days. I’m thinking that maybe this is a quality versus quantity thing, and I should take my time like you do. Good luck finishing it! I would stop bothering you with comments and let you write in peace, but I'm too selfish.
I love that fanart because it looks so experimental! They were tired of studying, and that’s the activity that came to mind. I’m totally okay with the whole, “Well, pretend I’m a girl and I’ll master…vernate your weiner” scenario. Backstory be damned; I’m all about the spontaneous ghei. I should probably delete that pic from Photobucket before I get banned. Isn’t there a Pornbucket or something where I could host this stuff? There’s got to be.
I’ve decided that my dad is also cool, because he just quoted South Park at me. God bless him.
What's appealing about the Titanic AU to me is that I can totally see it now, like it writes itself. I can't find it, though, and I'm not going to write it. If I start writing one more thing I will just die. (I really do like Nazi fics, by the way, and I'm sure Cartman would want to be a Nazi, but if he actually were one he'd quickly discover that there were too many rules to follow, too much actual work, etc.)
Never played it. I've actually read that it's pretty bad. What do you think? Honestly.
Hahaha, oh, it's adorable when they can't pronounce big words. Big words like masturbate. You'd think Kenny would know how to do it, though. I wouldn't worry about Photobucket -- I have tons of porn from other fandoms on my account, and I'm not kicked off ... yet. I think there is a Porn site, actually, though -- I think I saw Emzy post something on it once...
Okay, okay, I shouldn't be starting anything either, but I'm writing it now. I swear I had the idea two days before that fic went up; I've still got my old planning pages. Do you think Stan would be better in first-class or steerage?? OH SHIT I am way too excited! (I think it would be cool if Cartman got an in by having a high-ranked relative or something like that. I'd want him to be a very spoiled Nazi, sort of misguided and lazy.)
Story mode gets way tedious, but versus is so fun! My guy used the cheats to unlock everything. I played a bunch of rounds with Pip (who goes, "God bless the Queen of England!" when you win) and then we bombed each other with Terrance and Phillip dolls for half an hour. I don't know if any of this is actually entertaining, though, because I'm easily amused. It was fairly cheap where I found it. Worth a couple of bucks, at least.
I wish they'd mispronounce words more often!! Always gives me a tweak on that rarely-played "cute" string. Oh shit, this is totally not relevant, but you know what my favorite exchange is? It's in Ike's Wee Wee, and Chef asks what is the most important thing to a man. Stan says eyes, Cartman says ham, Kyle says the heart, and Kenny says, "Ooh! Your penis!!" That right there says so much about their characters. How briliant is that??
Honestly? Stan would be in second class. Does that ruin your story? I can't believe you started writing a replacement Titanic AU! How exciting! You know I am totally envisioning it, right, with like car sex and stuff? Oh boy.
You can play with Pip? Oh my god! That is sort of awesome! But telling of how old the game is. (Then again, Pip is seen only slightly less often than Kenny these days, and he's supposedly a main character.) I should say N64 games are pretty cheap, considering they're way out-of-date and as far as I can tell, don't seem to have the lingering NES/SNES nostalgia thing going. (Although I really think Mario 64 for DS is an excellent reworking of a good game ... I'm not a particularly big gamer or anything, so feel free to disparage.) Whatever, I'm a huge Anglophile. Long live Pip!
Now I have to rewatch "Ike's Wee Wee." Obviously. (Okay, I watched the clip. First Stan says a bicycle, which actually is some kind of hot continuity right there.) I totally love when you can understand what Kenny is saying, too. It's kind of what makes me feel like Kenny has an actual characterization, and I feel less bad about writing porn about him.
PS: www.freeporndumpster.com -- but it looks pretty skeazy.
Actually, Stan has totally become second class since my last comment; it works perfectly!! I'm just not sure how much of the actual movie I should steal from. God, I want the car sex and nude drawings, but wouldn't that be reaaaally hard to live up to? The movie was so epic. I think I should scale down. (Man, I am cataclysmically premenstrual! I started to write this reply earlier today, but I had to stop and cry for an hour when I realized I'd missed the Titanic exhibit in the Denver Museum. I was seriously planning a road trip to Connecticut. What the fuck. ANYWAY.)
Yeah! You can also play with Starvin' Marvin and Mephisto, who were more like early-season peripherials too, yeah? I was heartily depressed when Pip wasn't in The List. I adore him, and quietly believe that he is slightly better than Butters. I'm still holding onto my 64, but it was the first game console I had, and I'm super sentimental. Mario 64 was the BEST GAME EVER, HOLY SHIT. I forgot to pick it up on DS today. BALLS.
Oh my god, Stan does say his bicycle! That's awesome!! Speaking of hot continuity, and I think you're the only person in the world who will appreciate this: have you noticed that Kyle's dead grandma is so conspiciously canon? First in the episode with Korn, then Ladder to Heaven when he calls out to her, and then in Quintuplets, Randy says, "Anyone who has a grandma, step forward" and Kyle just stands in the background and drops his eyes. How cool is that?? M&T care so much about that tiny detail. Never mind Jimmy and Clyde's fluctuating last names; Kyle's grandma is DEAD. Poor Kyle. I wonder what it all means.
Sorry, tangent. Kenny seriously has a personality! He does! I fucking loved him in Major Boobage during the intervention scene, especially when he said something like, "Oh, you guys don't care" (I'm too lazy to ref that right now). Kenny is some kind of wonderful. He really deserves his fanbase, and he has said so many amazing things that justify his porn.
Ooh, thanks, a server! Now I can host my nasties, and meet sexy local singles to have sex with!!
You seriously respond to comments so much faster than I can these days. (Maybe it's lethargy? Or maybe it's this stupidly gigantic story I have to get done for this contest?) I swear I will try harder.
Well, come on. There has to be some kind of illicit sex. (Now I am excited to see if my assumptions/predictions about this story are for true.) I actually spent like way too much time today reading Titanic-related articles on Wikipedia. Probably I should have been writing comment replies. Or like, actually doing something for real? I think Stan works real well in second-class. The boring class. The class no one cares about. Where people with a moderate amount of money who aren't millionaires go.
I have never been to Denver or Connecticut, by the way.
The weird thing is, it seems like all these different boys are in the class at different times. Like, I swear to god Pip is still in the background whenever there is some kind of wide shot, but for someone who is so legitimately in the class, he wasn't on the list. Which brings me to my next point, who the fuck is Leroy? And I really do like Butters a great deal, but he can really be overused. Perhaps by part 19 of this thread I can come up with some examples.
I tried to rewatch that scene from "Quintuplets" but I think the website is kind of effed up right now. Or maybe it's just that clip, or just my computer. I like that Kyle doesn't just not have a grandma (never mind that he probably had two at some point), he seems to handle it with childlike appropriateness. (Although I would kill to know what Clyde's last name is for real, please. Jimmy I don't so much care about. Also, Butters' father. And does Kenny have a sister? Sometimes I think about asking the FAQ these things, but I don't want them to laugh at me, even in anonymity, so...)
I really do like Kenny. He has the perfect personality for narration in fan fiction, or to act as the authorial voice. (I definitely credit you with the former, and I've seen it crop up a couple times now -- I tried to write a Kenny point-of-view story for your contest, but I had to scrap it when I realized I couldn't pull it off.) It is a very weird show, nevertheless, in terms of what they try to remain consistent on, and when they just don't care. Kenny seems very consistent, although I have to assume that they gave him "Major Boobage" because they were looking for something to do with him -- I have the feeling they could have pulled off drug addiction with anyone.
(You have to give Emzy credit for the server -- I only know about it because she posted a link to something on it once. And I really haven't looked at it at all. It kinda freaked me out with all the boobs.)
Oh, you've been traveling. I've been sitting around with nothing to do. Of course, I get busy and tired when there's a lot to reply to. Blegh. I think I'm getting sick.
There is definitely sex, but I'm not sure where. Here's what I've got: Kenny's a Parisian revolutionary, a la Moulin Rouge with the "beauty, freedom, truth, love" thing going on, and Cartman is the megalomaniac "fiance" who's manipulated Kyle into a (secret) relationship by threatening to out him and making him financially dependent on his family's wealth. I don't know much about Stan yet because, c'mon, he's only second-class. This story sounds fucking terrible, I know. I haven't been researching very diligently. I used to know so much about the Titanic when I was in sixth grade.
I tend to notice the background characters in the cafeteria scenes. Their cliques are scarily consistent. I'm positive Leroy has been barely there in exactly TWO episodes, The List and the one where he talks about his frog or toad or whatever, whereas Pip had a whole episode and didn't make the cut. I was so disappointed. I like Francis (?), Bradley, and Kevin, though. Jason from South Park is Gay just bothered the hell out of me. I sometimes watch whole episodes just for the prop kids because I am a freak. None of this matters, I am still starved for Pip, damn it.
I like how all of the kids face loss, generally, Kenny being the obvious exception. Stan was good in the episode with his grandpa. Clyde is...Donovan or Harris? I think it's officially Donovan now. What the hell with Mr. Stotch, right? I only knew he was Stephen at one point, because Linda was "Elyse" very briefly, and those were the names of two of my dating friends who actually looked like Mr. and Mrs. Stotch. Sorry, random, but I thought it was cool. I swear to god Matt Stone interviewed recently and officially named Kenny's sister "Karen," but now I can't find that link. I'm going insane. Here is the South Park wikia, if you want it:
http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/South_Park_Wiki
Kenny is awesome, and I'm sure I snagged him as the first-person voice after some other fanfiction. (Seaouryou comes to mind. How I wish she were still active.) Are you just not a fan of first-person or what? I can't imagine you not doing it well. I agree that Major Boobage could've been anyone's episode, really, but I think it functioned especially well with Kenny being from the trashiest family, and his being willing to do anything with the right motivators...money, pleasure. Maybe they amount to the same thing with him being poor. I hope that doesn't sound insensitive; I'm just going off the show, of course.
(Emzy's computer appears to still be in working condition! I'll brave the breasts and find something worthy to post on it.)
Yeah, but I'm not traveling now, I'm just making a stupid picnic. I so wish I could bring my computer on the picnic and finish this story. I'm three days behind my own schedule. Screw your extension, man.
Oh good, sex. Oh good, I was so right that Cartman would be Kyle's horrible fiance. I WAS SO RIGHT. (Granted I said this story writes itself, so maybe that's not so impressive.) It's actually kind of sad how well this story sounds like it's going to work. The thing with Stan is, he's horribly boring and has no dreams, hopes, plans, talent, or money. His only function in this fandom is to over or under emote, and then seduce Kyle by virtue of sitting around for 18 chapters doing nothing and being the only one left at the end. Okay, not really. But kinda. Although I like that characterization a lot. Because it's a little true, but not at all. Wait, what? Oh yeah. I look forward to your Titanic AU.
I just saw the LOTR episode last night (another sad fact, my friends are all into LOTR too, it was like a thing), and Pip is totally in it. Well, that was like the latter half of season six, so I know he was hanging out at least that long. Jason actually seems to be pretty consistently in the background, and he was on the list, and he has a lot of lines, actually, relatively. And something I've noticed is, Craig wasn't really in the class at the very beginning, he used to just hang out outside the principal's office. I don't know about Bradley or Francis. But Kevin should get more play. He's Asian!
(I just found a fan art characterization of Craig where he's an adopted Japanese boy who wants to be a huge J pop star and dresses in drag. Which, I don't know if I adore that or not. It's kind of awesome ... but it's too ... you know what I mean?)
I actually don't remember any Seaouryou story with Kenny in it. OH WELL TIME TO REREAD. (I would, if I had time right now.) No, I am totally glad "Major Boobage" went to Kenny. His removal from consciousness works with the fact that he's not particularly communicative anyway. (Well, we know he is, but...)
I went on a picnic recently and got a mosquito bite that swelled up to the size of a medium-sized cookie. It's totally going to scar. Fuck nature.
Yes, yes! Does Cartman not function beautifully as the creepy fiance? I love it. My biggest problem is with the time and setting differences; for example, I really want to include Token, but a wealthy black man living in England simply does not work. But the rest of it is cake. I mean, point A Point B Sink Ship. The end. That is an incredibly appropriate summary of Stan's character, both in the show and in fanfiction, and it makes me so happy that even with all his air-time, he's achingly typical. I quietly admit that I barely noticed him at first, what with the others being so much more extreme. Now I adore him because of his normalcy. He is subtle. I looove subtle. He's such a joy to write because the nuances are so important.
Wasn't Pip an elf?? A beautiful, blonde elf?? I think I shat myself when I saw that. I just don't like Jason's hair. There, I said it, I'm that shallow. Francis is only conspicuous to me because it looked like he was in "Jewbilee," doing Jew Scouts with Kyle, though that was probably a coincidence or a continuity issue. One of the best parts of the movie was totally Craig sighing outside Mackey's office. And Kevin? Fuck, yes, he was an ASIAN STORMTROOPER. That automatically makes him my favorite background kid ever.
More about Craig...I've played with the idea of him being adopted, actually, or maybe just dying his hair. Do you have a link to that fanart? My initial reaction is like, "OMG, that is so...cool...?" Because it is. And it isn't, but in a pretty sweet way. I don't even know.
I'm thinking of the one she wrote as Kenny's journal. If that wasn't her, I'm going to look like a complete moron. (I hope no one on your friends list is bored enough to actually read this thread, though.) You mentioned this in a review that I haven't replied to, but yes, isn't it totally ironic that Kenny is so often the neutral storyteller amid all the StanxKyle drama? In my stupid Prom fanfic, Kenny will never speak without a megaphone, because the (widely supported!) idea of him being a narrator is too insanely charming.
Hey, look, more replies. (In other news I totally finished my story for your contest, and holy shit, it's insane.)
You probably already made this decision, but I'd just put Token on the ship. I mean, come on -- he's also the token wealthy character. He belongs. I think I'm starting to really like Stan -- ridiculous, I know, considering he's like the main character ... oh, and that he's been like half of the slash pairing I keep writing. Weird, right? Poor Stan. He is so overlooked.
Yes, Pip was a blond Elf. (Or arguably, Vulcan.) I like Jason's hair. It kind of rocks in its horribleness. (It's still nothing on an orange jacket with a green collar -- I mean, come on.) I hate to admit this, but I don't know what Francis looks like. And you know what? I bet if you asked M&T (and I write it like that because you somehow convinced me it was meant to be, and now it looks wrong any other way) to draw Francis, they'd just look at you and be like, who's Francis? And you'd be like, duh, he's on the list.
Here is Asian BBQ chef x-dressing Craig in all this glory: http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/269511/. You tell me what you think. I kind of think Craig's would be better depicted as having arisen for no particular reason, but I also like how that apron goes with that skirt.
(I am so the kind of person who, if this wasn't already a conversation I was participating in, would read the entire thing. So while I like to think no one is that sad, I mean ... probably.)
I actually think Kenny as the amplified narrator is a stroke of genius. Did I mention that in my review? It works on, like, so many levels. Screw other people -- I'm giving you credit. And actually, I find that he's not always just the narrator -- I keep using him as the authorial voice. So, um, spoiler or whatever? Any time Kenny talks in a story I write, there's like a 70 percent chance he's speaking for me.
Goddamn, I just want to read it already. This is killing me. (REALLY sorry about the late review for The Other Table. I'm working away at it, promise.)
I wish there were a way I could be more ambiguous about the date; I wish the whole sinking time period wasn't such common knowledge because of the movie. I really do want Token in. He's the only one who works without taking creative liberties, at least of the financial sort. Stan took a long time to grow on me, too. Honestly, you know what I like best about him? That whiny little verse he wrote as Raven. It almost sort of demonstrated some literary aptitude. If I ever write primarily as Stan, he's going to be a poet. It's one of the only ways I can make him super-interesting to myself.
OH MY GOD, PIP LIVES LONG AND PROSPERS. I AM SO OKAY WITH THAT. (Also the episode where they were playing Star Trek, and Kyle was totally the Vulcan. So excellent.) Here's my take on color-coordination: if something in nature contains it, it's okay. Like Kyle's jacket. Green and orange equals pumpkins, so I can totally swallow it. If it were orange and purple, however, I would have some serious problems. And M&T, in all their ampersanded glory, certainly care less about the background kids than we do, I'm sure. It amuses the shit out of me. Fangirls could school them at their own trivia, I swear.
Craaaaig! Oh, god, I am really very pleased with that picture! I have no idea how to justify it. It feels blasphemous and right. (Like writing gay sex.) I love his stripes, and, having been a sad part of that J-rock ilk, I would love him on stage working a mic and some disgustingly awesome Tokyo Street-Style.
(Uh. That's actually me, too. I read one of your threads where you were talking about The Sims 2. I really wanted to pop in and show you mine, because I downloaded all these custom skins to make the South Park guys and all their families.)
SPOILERS, SORRY, FEEL FREE TO SCREEN THIS COMMENT: Now I am going to reread all of The Other Table just for Kenny. Which is an exercise in futility, as I am incredibly dense and did not see ChristophexKen coming AT ALL. You have no idea how pissed off I am at myself! Does this mean that you, as Kenny, are attracted to Ze Mole? That dude is fiiiiine.
I have been reading the other stories for this contest, and there are so many that are better than this one. I really do wish it had just been due on June 30 and I could have stopped then. Oh well. (I'm always torn when you're like, "I'm writing you a review" because half of me is like, oh god, don't waste your time. But the other half is like, give it here. So, awesome.)
I like to justify everything I want to do that doesn't make sense as, "Pfft, it's South Park fan fiction, whatever." And then of course I feel terrible about it. But you shouldn't, so yeah, put Token on that damn boat. As for Raven, hilarious -- I liked his stupid cane. But I think goth!Stan gets played way too often and seriously in the fandom. I'm probably wrong, but that's how I feel.
You're right, orange and purple would be way worse. At least it's not turquoise and yellow.
Why is Craig my favorite character? He doesn't do anything. He barely says anything. He doesn't speak to or really even seem to get along with my pure-as-snow true-love OTP. But yet the idea of him as a Japanese half-chick in an apron is awesome.
(You really should have just joined in. Did you make them as adults, or kids, or what? I had no idea there were skins, but then, I don't download any Sims content.)
I really doubt anyone reading this journal hasn't also already read that story. How did you not see it coming? Probably because I'm a bad writer who can't do foreshadowing or whatever.
You know, I think I am a little into Ze Mole, sadly enough. (I'm not suicidal, though, repeatedly or otherwise, so don't, you know, take it too literally.)
I can't say too much about your fic here, obviously, but oh my god. I fucking love it!! Are you seriously not proud of it? Shit, if I could put my name on something so brilliant, I would be soooo happy.
It's ironic that most fanfiction authors are actually trying to come up with cohesive plots. You'd think more would just throw the accuracy to the wind; maybe we're too grounded in reality (I mean, as if). No, Raven is really all over the place. I like that more in art than I do in writing, for whatever reason. It's a little too intense? Something like that.
Turquoise and yellow had never occurred to me. That's so gross. I should totally wear those colors tomorrow.
Ah, Craig is your favorite? That was heavily implied, but I don't think you ever said it before. He is pretty fucking awesome. He's got an incredibly solid fanbase for how much he shows up, and that is super cool with me! I'd like him to be Asian, not gonna lie.
(I did them as adults a few times, then I made the kids, killed off their parents, and called the neighborhood Smiley Town and had them go nuts. I'm so sorry, when I find my discs, you're totally getting picspam.)
I said this in my review, but oh my god, do NOT blame yourself for my inability to read well. I try to be all literary and stuff, but I've really got very poor comprehension.
No, Ze Mole is fucking hot. I'm shipping GregoryxChris now, because for some reason, I really like the idea of Greg being dom. (I'm relieved, but I was hoping for the scoop on Satan. I wonder if his ass is as good as they say it is.)
No, I'm proud of it. But I'd like to remind the jury of a) the other good fics that were submitted, b) author insecurity in general, and c) the fact that it was a big, long, huge mess that required a lot of rewriting and in fact I was still mauling it up until the moment before it was basically due.
I think it goes along with the idea of goth being sexy, but as the show has so eloquently showed us, actual goth are kinda sucky. So the image of Stan as a dark, glistening, wastrel, appealing. Reading an entire story about him posturing? Maybe less so.
Do you own those colors? Ironically enough, I pretty much only own black.
The more I think about it, the more I realize, yeah, he's completely my favorite. Which is horribly bizarre considering how freaking devoted I am to Stan/Kyle in all its typical routine. Does that make sense? (I really like pretty much any SP pairing, though.) Who knows why people like him. He's ridiculously popular considering he's actually barely anyone. But yeah, I'd be okay with him being Asian. Maybe him and Stan and Kyle are all my favorites. Hard to know, I guess. Do you have a favorite, uh, anything? I have guesses, but it's hard to pin down.
(I wasn't going to ask for any Sim-spam, but I'm secretly delighted.)
Oh, you have fine comprehension. I just ... well, a lot is going on. That's not to say it's good, but you like it apparently, which actually matters a great deal.
I would be intrigued by Greg/Chris. (I've read the comic in the SPBP, but actually couldn't tell what was going on.) Thank you for mentioning that. Now I have all these theories running around in my head about your writing and pairings.
I would totally stay up to give you more real-time responses, but I have to go to bed. I've already fallen asleep on my computer one tonight.
(And I'll probably get to replying tomorrow, but let me tell you how happy your review made me: sooooo happy.)
If it was rushed, you can’t tell at all. Man, it is just going to be a bitch figuring all this stuff out…I’m grateful that Shadow and Spirit are going to help. I have got a lot of reading and reviewing to catch up on.
I’ve only been friends with one super-hardcore goth. She was fascinating and brilliant, but at the same time, she was completely exhausting, and so far-removed from reality. I slept over at her house once so she could show me this vampire man-thing who lived in her mirror. But that sums up my very limited exposure to the subculture, and it was pretty extreme, so I doubt I’m being very fair. Aesthetically, though, it’s got to be the best fashion ever. Hands down.
About half of my wardrobe is black, another third is red or pink, and the rest varies. I actually have two turquoise shirts and a yellow one.
Oh, it makes total sense! Craig is just amazing; he’s in my top five, too. I wonder if M&T realize how popular he is. I sometimes wish they’d give him a proper episode, but at the same time, I desperately don’t want them to ruin anything that he has become in fanon. Like his dreams of being a J-rocker. As for Stan and Kyle…it is so confusing; a few months ago, I would’ve said Kyle was my favorite. Now it’s probably…Tweek. No, it’s Pip. At this very second, it is Pip. I tend to fall in love with whoever I’m writing, but honestly, the only character I don’t have a strong opinion about is Stan. I mean, what the hell? I’m a huge shipper, but to me, Stan is the weirdest phenomenon ever. I’m starting to adore him because of that.
(I CAN’T FIND MY DISCS. I want to show you SO bad, but all I have are these tiny, disenchanting thumbnails. I might show you anyway, unless I find them soon.)
I just wish I knew what I was missing in your fic. I don’t want to disappoint you by being so unobservant, but I always fail to see the big picture until it’s right in front of my face.
I have an assload of GregxChris in my SP porn folder. This picture (http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll280/seepiechi/gregchris.jpg) is actually what inspired that sentiment; I love these guys. (I adored their chapter in the SPBP! Shit, and I just realized I forgot to send out thanks to all the contributors…I had all these compliments written out and everything. Damn it! Oops!) Oh god, careful with those theories. I’ll only disappoint you.
I’m staying up late because I want to get on top of all these responses again. I’m doing this, gosh dern it.
Oh. I wrote this comment about two hours ago, but I didn't mean "another third," I meant "another fourth." That mistake was just...lame. It's the kind of math that makes something half man, half bear, and half pig.

Do you read Japanese or kanji or anything like that? 'Cause I sure as hell don't. And as for this person's other work, I just stumbled upon it like, right now, and I don't know what the hell is going on, except that there was a little Stan with an adult Stan and going by the shitty Babel Fish translation, maybe it was a Stan/Kyle ass baby or something? But I really didn't get it.
(I really like this person's work. You have this bookmarked? No kidding.)

No, I sure wish I read it. I just copy-pasted from Wikipedia. I scanned the blog and didn't see some of her old pics there. Here are the ones I'm talking about (sorry, too lazy to give you pretty links):

Do you at least have the one where Kyle's clinging to Stan after he (presumably) gave him a handjob??
no subject
Date: 2008-06-16 15:38 (UTC)Office!Stan? I could try. Is antiques dealing mundane enough for you? Eh, probably not.
Okay, those are pretty freaky. I've always been bad about saving art. For some reason little Stan kissing adult Kyle feels really wrong, but I have no qualms about the reverse. And no, I don't have the handjob one. Please tell me you have it. And that I can see it.
I really need to learn how to do small font.
Oh, hey, my dad just pronounced sofa "sofo." What a dude.

Date: 2008-06-16 19:01 (UTC)Really, anything that gets Stan in a suit and tie would do me. I actually think antiquing is pretty damn interesting, though I will admit I've never been.
I'm better with young!Kyle and old!Stan, too, but neither of them really bother me. Too much time on the shota boards on 7chan, methinks. I don't know why I said "presumably" a handjob. It is definitely a handjob. But I lied; I actually don't know if this is the same artist, I just got thrown by the similar bright colors. Take a gander anyway:

Date: 2008-06-17 18:04 (UTC)Hey, I bought something at GameStop once. Two things, actually. One of these things definitely wasn't Madden 02 for N64 or anything like that. Wait, what? Forget I said that.
I will keep Stan in a suit in mind. The last thing I need is another reason to start writing a story about anything. Maybe I can work it into something? I swear to god, this antiquing story thing is going to be finished by the end of this month or I will seriously flip.
Okay, yeah, that's a handjob. I have a feeling it is by that same artist, but that's neither here nor there. I like how Stan is staring at his hand like, hey, what's this? And Kyle is holding onto him for dear life with his pants magically secured around his thighs like that posture would ever work in real life. Thank you for sharing. I'm only sorry I don't have any magic little boy handjob pictures to give you in return.
My dad is too cool for me.

Date: 2008-06-19 04:09 (UTC)If you can't find it, I might have to be a scavenging bitch and write it or make you write it or something. I quietly admit to loving that movie.Oh, I never thought of Cartman making a poor Nazi, but you're right. On the other hand, Kyle would still make an excellent revolutionary. I need to reread those fics now.Haha, fucking N64, I just bought the South Park game for mine!! Have you played it? I forced my guy friend to mess around on the menu for like fifteen minutes because it makes a farting sound every time you click something. That game is the absolute height of comedic maturity, I swear.
Do you tend to write slowly? I would hate that. I actually write extremely fast, but not often; I've written 20 something pages in the last three days. I’m thinking that maybe this is a quality versus quantity thing, and I should take my time like you do. Good luck finishing it! I would stop bothering you with comments and let you write in peace, but I'm too selfish.
I love that fanart because it looks so experimental! They were tired of studying, and that’s the activity that came to mind. I’m totally okay with the whole, “Well, pretend I’m a girl and I’ll master…vernate your weiner” scenario. Backstory be damned; I’m all about the spontaneous ghei. I should probably delete that pic from Photobucket before I get banned. Isn’t there a Pornbucket or something where I could host this stuff? There’s got to be.
I’ve decided that my dad is also cool, because he just quoted South Park at me. God bless him.

Date: 2008-06-21 17:22 (UTC)Never played it. I've actually read that it's pretty bad. What do you think? Honestly.
Hahaha, oh, it's adorable when they can't pronounce big words. Big words like masturbate. You'd think Kenny would know how to do it, though. I wouldn't worry about Photobucket -- I have tons of porn from other fandoms on my account, and I'm not kicked off ... yet. I think there is a Porn site, actually, though -- I think I saw Emzy post something on it once...

Date: 2008-06-24 09:41 (UTC)Story mode gets way tedious, but versus is so fun! My guy used the cheats to unlock everything. I played a bunch of rounds with Pip (who goes, "God bless the Queen of England!" when you win) and then we bombed each other with Terrance and Phillip dolls for half an hour. I don't know if any of this is actually entertaining, though, because I'm easily amused. It was fairly cheap where I found it. Worth a couple of bucks, at least.
I wish they'd mispronounce words more often!! Always gives me a tweak on that rarely-played "cute" string. Oh shit, this is totally not relevant, but you know what my favorite exchange is? It's in Ike's Wee Wee, and Chef asks what is the most important thing to a man. Stan says eyes, Cartman says ham, Kyle says the heart, and Kenny says, "Ooh! Your penis!!" That right there says so much about their characters. How briliant is that??
I'm going to google "porn server." Wish me luck.
no subject
Date: 2008-06-28 20:30 (UTC)You can play with Pip? Oh my god! That is sort of awesome! But telling of how old the game is. (Then again, Pip is seen only slightly less often than Kenny these days, and he's supposedly a main character.) I should say N64 games are pretty cheap, considering they're way out-of-date and as far as I can tell, don't seem to have the lingering NES/SNES nostalgia thing going. (Although I really think Mario 64 for DS is an excellent reworking of a good game ... I'm not a particularly big gamer or anything, so feel free to disparage.) Whatever, I'm a huge Anglophile. Long live Pip!
Now I have to rewatch "Ike's Wee Wee." Obviously. (Okay, I watched the clip. First Stan says a bicycle, which actually is some kind of hot continuity right there.) I totally love when you can understand what Kenny is saying, too. It's kind of what makes me feel like Kenny has an actual characterization, and I feel less bad about writing porn about him.
PS: www.freeporndumpster.com -- but it looks pretty skeazy.
no subject
Date: 2008-06-29 06:07 (UTC)Yeah! You can also play with Starvin' Marvin and Mephisto, who were more like early-season peripherials too, yeah? I was heartily depressed when Pip wasn't in The List. I adore him, and quietly believe that he is slightly better than Butters. I'm still holding onto my 64, but it was the first game console I had, and I'm super sentimental. Mario 64 was the BEST GAME EVER, HOLY SHIT. I forgot to pick it up on DS today. BALLS.
Oh my god, Stan does say his bicycle! That's awesome!! Speaking of hot continuity, and I think you're the only person in the world who will appreciate this: have you noticed that Kyle's dead grandma is so conspiciously canon? First in the episode with Korn, then Ladder to Heaven when he calls out to her, and then in Quintuplets, Randy says, "Anyone who has a grandma, step forward" and Kyle just stands in the background and drops his eyes. How cool is that?? M&T care so much about that tiny detail. Never mind Jimmy and Clyde's fluctuating last names; Kyle's grandma is DEAD. Poor Kyle. I wonder what it all means.
Sorry, tangent. Kenny seriously has a personality! He does! I fucking loved him in Major Boobage during the intervention scene, especially when he said something like, "Oh, you guys don't care" (I'm too lazy to ref that right now). Kenny is some kind of wonderful. He really deserves his fanbase, and he has said so many amazing things that justify his porn.
Ooh, thanks, a server! Now I can host my nasties, and meet sexy local singles to have sex with!!

Date: 2008-06-29 16:47 (UTC)This comment brought to you by Order of the Phoenix on HBO
Date: 2008-06-29 16:46 (UTC)Well, come on. There has to be some kind of illicit sex. (Now I am excited to see if my assumptions/predictions about this story are for true.) I actually spent like way too much time today reading Titanic-related articles on Wikipedia. Probably I should have been writing comment replies. Or like, actually doing something for real? I think Stan works real well in second-class. The boring class. The class no one cares about. Where people with a moderate amount of money who aren't millionaires go.
I have never been to Denver or Connecticut, by the way.
The weird thing is, it seems like all these different boys are in the class at different times. Like, I swear to god Pip is still in the background whenever there is some kind of wide shot, but for someone who is so legitimately in the class, he wasn't on the list. Which brings me to my next point, who the fuck is Leroy? And I really do like Butters a great deal, but he can really be overused. Perhaps by part 19 of this thread I can come up with some examples.
I tried to rewatch that scene from "Quintuplets" but I think the website is kind of effed up right now. Or maybe it's just that clip, or just my computer. I like that Kyle doesn't just not have a grandma (never mind that he probably had two at some point), he seems to handle it with childlike appropriateness. (Although I would kill to know what Clyde's last name is for real, please. Jimmy I don't so much care about. Also, Butters' father. And does Kenny have a sister? Sometimes I think about asking the FAQ these things, but I don't want them to laugh at me, even in anonymity, so...)
I really do like Kenny. He has the perfect personality for narration in fan fiction, or to act as the authorial voice. (I definitely credit you with the former, and I've seen it crop up a couple times now -- I tried to write a Kenny point-of-view story for your contest, but I had to scrap it when I realized I couldn't pull it off.) It is a very weird show, nevertheless, in terms of what they try to remain consistent on, and when they just don't care. Kenny seems very consistent, although I have to assume that they gave him "Major Boobage" because they were looking for something to do with him -- I have the feeling they could have pulled off drug addiction with anyone.
(You have to give Emzy credit for the server -- I only know about it because she posted a link to something on it once. And I really haven't looked at it at all. It kinda freaked me out with all the boobs.)
This comment I bet is way longer than intended.
Hey, last night I totally caught Goblet of Fire on the Tee Vee.
Date: 2008-07-02 07:01 (UTC)There is definitely sex, but I'm not sure where. Here's what I've got: Kenny's a Parisian revolutionary, a la Moulin Rouge with the "beauty, freedom, truth, love" thing going on, and Cartman is the megalomaniac "fiance" who's manipulated Kyle into a (secret) relationship by threatening to out him and making him financially dependent on his family's wealth. I don't know much about Stan yet because, c'mon, he's only second-class. This story sounds fucking terrible, I know. I haven't been researching very diligently. I used to know so much about the Titanic when I was in sixth grade.
I tend to notice the background characters in the cafeteria scenes. Their cliques are scarily consistent. I'm positive Leroy has been barely there in exactly TWO episodes, The List and the one where he talks about his frog or toad or whatever, whereas Pip had a whole episode and didn't make the cut. I was so disappointed. I like Francis (?), Bradley, and Kevin, though. Jason from South Park is Gay just bothered the hell out of me. I sometimes watch whole episodes just for the prop kids because I am a freak. None of this matters, I am still starved for Pip, damn it.
I like how all of the kids face loss, generally, Kenny being the obvious exception. Stan was good in the episode with his grandpa. Clyde is...Donovan or Harris? I think it's officially Donovan now. What the hell with Mr. Stotch, right? I only knew he was Stephen at one point, because Linda was "Elyse" very briefly, and those were the names of two of my dating friends who actually looked like Mr. and Mrs. Stotch. Sorry, random, but I thought it was cool. I swear to god Matt Stone interviewed recently and officially named Kenny's sister "Karen," but now I can't find that link. I'm going insane. Here is the South Park wikia, if you want it:
http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/South_Park_Wiki
Kenny is awesome, and I'm sure I snagged him as the first-person voice after some other fanfiction. (Seaouryou comes to mind. How I wish she were still active.) Are you just not a fan of first-person or what? I can't imagine you not doing it well. I agree that Major Boobage could've been anyone's episode, really, but I think it functioned especially well with Kenny being from the trashiest family, and his being willing to do anything with the right motivators...money, pleasure. Maybe they amount to the same thing with him being poor. I hope that doesn't sound insensitive; I'm just going off the show, of course.
(Emzy's computer appears to still be in working condition! I'll brave the breasts and find something worthy to post on it.)
Re: Hey, last night I totally caught Goblet of Fire on the Tee Vee.
Date: 2008-07-03 15:30 (UTC)Oh good, sex. Oh good, I was so right that Cartman would be Kyle's horrible fiance. I WAS SO RIGHT. (Granted I said this story writes itself, so maybe that's not so impressive.) It's actually kind of sad how well this story sounds like it's going to work. The thing with Stan is, he's horribly boring and has no dreams, hopes, plans, talent, or money. His only function in this fandom is to over or under emote, and then seduce Kyle by virtue of sitting around for 18 chapters doing nothing and being the only one left at the end. Okay, not really. But kinda. Although I like that characterization a lot. Because it's a little true, but not at all. Wait, what? Oh yeah. I look forward to your Titanic AU.
I just saw the LOTR episode last night (another sad fact, my friends are all into LOTR too, it was like a thing), and Pip is totally in it. Well, that was like the latter half of season six, so I know he was hanging out at least that long. Jason actually seems to be pretty consistently in the background, and he was on the list, and he has a lot of lines, actually, relatively. And something I've noticed is, Craig wasn't really in the class at the very beginning, he used to just hang out outside the principal's office. I don't know about Bradley or Francis. But Kevin should get more play. He's Asian!
(I just found a fan art characterization of Craig where he's an adopted Japanese boy who wants to be a huge J pop star and dresses in drag. Which, I don't know if I adore that or not. It's kind of awesome ... but it's too ... you know what I mean?)
I actually don't remember any Seaouryou story with Kenny in it. OH WELL TIME TO REREAD. (I would, if I had time right now.) No, I am totally glad "Major Boobage" went to Kenny. His removal from consciousness works with the fact that he's not particularly communicative anyway. (Well, we know he is, but...)
Re: Hey, last night I totally caught Goblet of Fire on the Tee Vee.
Date: 2008-07-06 06:25 (UTC)Yes, yes! Does Cartman not function beautifully as the creepy fiance? I love it. My biggest problem is with the time and setting differences; for example, I really want to include Token, but a wealthy black man living in England simply does not work. But the rest of it is cake. I mean, point A Point B Sink Ship. The end. That is an incredibly appropriate summary of Stan's character, both in the show and in fanfiction, and it makes me so happy that even with all his air-time, he's achingly typical. I quietly admit that I barely noticed him at first, what with the others being so much more extreme. Now I adore him because of his normalcy. He is subtle. I looove subtle. He's such a joy to write because the nuances are so important.
Wasn't Pip an elf?? A beautiful, blonde elf?? I think I shat myself when I saw that. I just don't like Jason's hair. There, I said it, I'm that shallow. Francis is only conspicuous to me because it looked like he was in "Jewbilee," doing Jew Scouts with Kyle, though that was probably a coincidence or a continuity issue. One of the best parts of the movie was totally Craig sighing outside Mackey's office. And Kevin? Fuck, yes, he was an ASIAN STORMTROOPER. That automatically makes him my favorite background kid ever.
More about Craig...I've played with the idea of him being adopted, actually, or maybe just dying his hair. Do you have a link to that fanart? My initial reaction is like, "OMG, that is so...cool...?" Because it is. And it isn't, but in a pretty sweet way. I don't even know.
I'm thinking of the one she wrote as Kenny's journal. If that wasn't her, I'm going to look like a complete moron. (I hope no one on your friends list is bored enough to actually read this thread, though.) You mentioned this in a review that I haven't replied to, but yes, isn't it totally ironic that Kenny is so often the neutral storyteller amid all the StanxKyle drama? In my stupid Prom fanfic, Kenny will never speak without a megaphone, because the (widely supported!) idea of him being a narrator is too insanely charming.
Re: Hey, last night I totally caught Goblet of Fire on the Tee Vee.
Date: 2008-07-10 04:56 (UTC)You probably already made this decision, but I'd just put Token on the ship. I mean, come on -- he's also the token wealthy character. He belongs. I think I'm starting to really like Stan -- ridiculous, I know, considering he's like the main character ... oh, and that he's been like half of the slash pairing I keep writing. Weird, right? Poor Stan. He is so overlooked.
Yes, Pip was a blond Elf. (Or arguably, Vulcan.) I like Jason's hair. It kind of rocks in its horribleness. (It's still nothing on an orange jacket with a green collar -- I mean, come on.) I hate to admit this, but I don't know what Francis looks like. And you know what? I bet if you asked M&T (and I write it like that because you somehow convinced me it was meant to be, and now it looks wrong any other way) to draw Francis, they'd just look at you and be like, who's Francis? And you'd be like, duh, he's on the list.
Here is Asian BBQ chef x-dressing Craig in all this glory: http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/269511/. You tell me what you think. I kind of think Craig's would be better depicted as having arisen for no particular reason, but I also like how that apron goes with that skirt.
(I am so the kind of person who, if this wasn't already a conversation I was participating in, would read the entire thing. So while I like to think no one is that sad, I mean ... probably.)
I actually think Kenny as the amplified narrator is a stroke of genius. Did I mention that in my review? It works on, like, so many levels. Screw other people -- I'm giving you credit. And actually, I find that he's not always just the narrator -- I keep using him as the authorial voice. So, um, spoiler or whatever? Any time Kenny talks in a story I write, there's like a 70 percent chance he's speaking for me.
Re: Hey, last night I totally caught Goblet of Fire on the Tee Vee.
Date: 2008-07-12 05:12 (UTC)I wish there were a way I could be more ambiguous about the date; I wish the whole sinking time period wasn't such common knowledge because of the movie. I really do want Token in. He's the only one who works without taking creative liberties, at least of the financial sort. Stan took a long time to grow on me, too. Honestly, you know what I like best about him? That whiny little verse he wrote as Raven. It almost sort of demonstrated some literary aptitude. If I ever write primarily as Stan, he's going to be a poet. It's one of the only ways I can make him super-interesting to myself.
OH MY GOD, PIP LIVES LONG AND PROSPERS. I AM SO OKAY WITH THAT. (Also the episode where they were playing Star Trek, and Kyle was totally the Vulcan. So excellent.) Here's my take on color-coordination: if something in nature contains it, it's okay. Like Kyle's jacket. Green and orange equals pumpkins, so I can totally swallow it. If it were orange and purple, however, I would have some serious problems. And M&T, in all their ampersanded glory, certainly care less about the background kids than we do, I'm sure. It amuses the shit out of me. Fangirls could school them at their own trivia, I swear.
Craaaaig! Oh, god, I am really very pleased with that picture! I have no idea how to justify it. It feels blasphemous and right. (Like writing gay sex.) I love his stripes, and, having been a sad part of that J-rock ilk, I would love him on stage working a mic and some disgustingly awesome Tokyo Street-Style.
(Uh. That's actually me, too. I read one of your threads where you were talking about The Sims 2. I really wanted to pop in and show you mine, because I downloaded all these custom skins to make the South Park guys and all their families.)
SPOILERS, SORRY, FEEL FREE TO SCREEN THIS COMMENT: Now I am going to reread all of The Other Table just for Kenny. Which is an exercise in futility, as I am incredibly dense and did not see ChristophexKen coming AT ALL. You have no idea how pissed off I am at myself! Does this mean that you, as Kenny, are attracted to Ze Mole? That dude is fiiiiine.
Re: Hey, last night I totally caught Goblet of Fire on the Tee Vee.
Date: 2008-07-14 17:22 (UTC)I like to justify everything I want to do that doesn't make sense as, "Pfft, it's South Park fan fiction, whatever." And then of course I feel terrible about it. But you shouldn't, so yeah, put Token on that damn boat. As for Raven, hilarious -- I liked his stupid cane. But I think goth!Stan gets played way too often and seriously in the fandom. I'm probably wrong, but that's how I feel.
You're right, orange and purple would be way worse. At least it's not turquoise and yellow.
Why is Craig my favorite character? He doesn't do anything. He barely says anything. He doesn't speak to or really even seem to get along with my pure-as-snow true-love OTP. But yet the idea of him as a Japanese half-chick in an apron is awesome.
(You really should have just joined in. Did you make them as adults, or kids, or what? I had no idea there were skins, but then, I don't download any Sims content.)
I really doubt anyone reading this journal hasn't also already read that story. How did you not see it coming? Probably because I'm a bad writer who can't do foreshadowing or whatever.
You know, I think I am a little into Ze Mole, sadly enough. (I'm not suicidal, though, repeatedly or otherwise, so don't, you know, take it too literally.)
I'm tired of reading that HP ref in the subject line
Date: 2008-07-16 08:29 (UTC)It's ironic that most fanfiction authors are actually trying to come up with cohesive plots. You'd think more would just throw the accuracy to the wind; maybe we're too grounded in reality (I mean, as if). No, Raven is really all over the place. I like that more in art than I do in writing, for whatever reason. It's a little too intense? Something like that.
Turquoise and yellow had never occurred to me. That's so gross. I should totally wear those colors tomorrow.
Ah, Craig is your favorite? That was heavily implied, but I don't think you ever said it before. He is pretty fucking awesome. He's got an incredibly solid fanbase for how much he shows up, and that is super cool with me! I'd like him to be Asian, not gonna lie.
(I did them as adults a few times, then I made the kids, killed off their parents, and called the neighborhood Smiley Town and had them go nuts. I'm so sorry, when I find my discs, you're totally getting picspam.)
I said this in my review, but oh my god, do NOT blame yourself for my inability to read well. I try to be all literary and stuff, but I've really got very poor comprehension.
No, Ze Mole is fucking hot. I'm shipping GregoryxChris now, because for some reason, I really like the idea of Greg being dom. (I'm relieved, but I was hoping for the scoop on Satan. I wonder if his ass is as good as they say it is.)
Re: Balls
Date: 2008-07-16 08:59 (UTC)I think it goes along with the idea of goth being sexy, but as the show has so eloquently showed us, actual goth are kinda sucky. So the image of Stan as a dark, glistening, wastrel, appealing. Reading an entire story about him posturing? Maybe less so.
Do you own those colors? Ironically enough, I pretty much only own black.
The more I think about it, the more I realize, yeah, he's completely my favorite. Which is horribly bizarre considering how freaking devoted I am to Stan/Kyle in all its typical routine. Does that make sense? (I really like pretty much any SP pairing, though.) Who knows why people like him. He's ridiculously popular considering he's actually barely anyone. But yeah, I'd be okay with him being Asian. Maybe him and Stan and Kyle are all my favorites. Hard to know, I guess. Do you have a favorite, uh, anything? I have guesses, but it's hard to pin down.
(I wasn't going to ask for any Sim-spam, but I'm secretly delighted.)
Oh, you have fine comprehension. I just ... well, a lot is going on. That's not to say it's good, but you like it apparently, which actually matters a great deal.
I would be intrigued by Greg/Chris. (I've read the comic in the SPBP, but actually couldn't tell what was going on.) Thank you for mentioning that. Now I have all these theories running around in my head about your writing and pairings.
I would totally stay up to give you more real-time responses, but I have to go to bed. I've already fallen asleep on my computer one tonight.
(And I'll probably get to replying tomorrow, but let me tell you how happy your review made me: sooooo happy.)
Re: Balls
Date: 2008-07-17 05:52 (UTC)I’ve only been friends with one super-hardcore goth. She was fascinating and brilliant, but at the same time, she was completely exhausting, and so far-removed from reality. I slept over at her house once so she could show me this vampire man-thing who lived in her mirror. But that sums up my very limited exposure to the subculture, and it was pretty extreme, so I doubt I’m being very fair. Aesthetically, though, it’s got to be the best fashion ever. Hands down.
About half of my wardrobe is black, another third is red or pink, and the rest varies. I actually have two turquoise shirts and a yellow one.
Oh, it makes total sense! Craig is just amazing; he’s in my top five, too. I wonder if M&T realize how popular he is. I sometimes wish they’d give him a proper episode, but at the same time, I desperately don’t want them to ruin anything that he has become in fanon. Like his dreams of being a J-rocker. As for Stan and Kyle…it is so confusing; a few months ago, I would’ve said Kyle was my favorite. Now it’s probably…Tweek. No, it’s Pip. At this very second, it is Pip. I tend to fall in love with whoever I’m writing, but honestly, the only character I don’t have a strong opinion about is Stan. I mean, what the hell? I’m a huge shipper, but to me, Stan is the weirdest phenomenon ever. I’m starting to adore him because of that.
(I CAN’T FIND MY DISCS. I want to show you SO bad, but all I have are these tiny, disenchanting thumbnails. I might show you anyway, unless I find them soon.)
I just wish I knew what I was missing in your fic. I don’t want to disappoint you by being so unobservant, but I always fail to see the big picture until it’s right in front of my face.
I have an assload of GregxChris in my SP porn folder. This picture (http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll280/seepiechi/gregchris.jpg) is actually what inspired that sentiment; I love these guys. (I adored their chapter in the SPBP! Shit, and I just realized I forgot to send out thanks to all the contributors…I had all these compliments written out and everything. Damn it! Oops!) Oh god, careful with those theories. I’ll only disappoint you.
I’m staying up late because I want to get on top of all these responses again. I’m doing this, gosh dern it.
