Ohh man, do you guys have any HCs for Stan??? :)
Stanley “Stan” Marsh Headcanons:
When the boys are fully grown, Stan is 6’0” tall, tied with Token as second tallest of the guys.
Stan realizes he is bisexual in his freshman year of college.
Randy and Sharon get divorced—and stay divorced—after Shelley leaves for college. Stan has a difficult time picking which parent to spend holidays with, actually spending the first Thanksgiving with the Broflovskis in order to keep the peace.
The divorce is pretty hard on Stan, and he starts drinking with the guys on weekends to cope with the immediate aftermath. He is careful not to drink around Kyle, who disapproves of this habit, but always makes sure that he drinks with Kenny because he knows Kenny will watch out for him if he gets too drunk.
Randy pushes Stan to play football in high school, something that Stan proves to be pretty talented it. By the time the boys are sophomores, Stan is the regular quarterback. Due to his nerves, Stan is always queasy on game days and throws up before leaving the locker room.Â
Stan and Wendy are on-and-off again throughout both middle and high school, much to the gang’s collective chagrin. It isn’t until Stan is on his way to college at UCLA that the two permanently break-up.Â
Stan’s soft-spot for animals stays with him into adulthood; with Stan volunteering to walk shelter dogs every weekend (aside from football season). He also advocates for the adoption of rescue pets.Â
Stan is always clean-shaven, afraid that growing facial hair—especially a moustache— will make him look too much like his father.Â
Stan secretly loves that Kyle didn’t grow to be super tall like him, because he thinks that it’s cute. He will deny that, though.
Stan does averagely in high school, partially due to the emotional strain of his parents’ divorce. Applying for college left him queasy, because he knew that Kyle would get into amazing schools for his flawless academic record and Stan wouldn’t be accepted into those fancy schools. He gets into UCLA on a huge athletic scholarship and is extremely upset when Kyle decides to go to Penn State on the opposite side of the country. It takes him a stupidly long time to figure out why he was so upset about that.
Stan and Kyle continued to have sleepovers on Friday nights all through high school, with Stan frequently either ditching early or canceling dates with Wendy in favor of spending time with Kyle. This is the case of many arguments between Stan and Wendy.
Stan believes in the best of people even at the worst of times, having learned from his experience as a cynic after his 10th birthday. He is the reason that the gang (Kenny, Kyle, Cartman, and himself) stay “close” friends until 8th grade. He cuts ties with Cartman after he tries to intentionally and hatefully sabotage Kyle’s bar mitzvah. Stan and Kenny go to great lengths to ensure Cartman fails. Kyle’s bar mitzvah was great.
Stan is a little insecure in his relationships and gets jealous easily. For example, he gets super jealous if Kyle confides in anyone except him, taking it personally. When questioned why he is getting so bent out of shape—usually by Kenny, as he is the one Kyle confides in aside from Stan—Stan will say it’s because HE is Kyle’s best friend. If pressed further, he tells you to fuck off and promptly drops the subject.
Stan absolutely hates all forms of social media, because he doesn’t want to get sucked into it. Kyle and Kenny set up both his Instagram and Snapchat, but he hardly uses it.
When Stan and Kyle FINALLY get together, he discovers that he developed a fetish for Kyle’s hat.
