So out of curiosity…what are your favorite nicknames that you write Cartman to call the main five?
Oh mannnnn I love Cartman’s nicknames he’s too unserious, my favorite abrasive fuckwad! OrangeJuiceVerse Cartman especially really just be out here saying whatever pops into his head and it cracks me up every time, naturally he has the most for Kyle, but here’s some of my favorites!
Highlights for Stan include: photosynthesizing dildo, hippie, buttplug, and of course Sadsack. Kenny gets called Fun Size and broke ass bitch, he’s called Marj “the girl” and Sweet Dee.
Now the Kyle nicknames are WAY too fun lmfao some of my favorites are: burning bush, Fiddler On The Roof, weakling, JewBot, languishing fleshlight, Thumbulimia, and the name of every ed movie he can think of 💀 he is very good a situational insults in general lmfao

I was invited to a video game music concert as a cosplayer and it was awesome!
First photo was my view during the concert! We were behind the orchestra so people could admire the cosplayers!
Highlight of my night was the music of course, but a young boy approched us during the break to get a picture with the Zelda cosplayers and after when her mom was showing him the pictures he had the BIGGEST SMILE! 😁he was so genuinely happy!
Also a young man came up to me and told me he was looking for me just to be able to tell me how amazing he thought my cosplay was. That is so sweet 😭❤
Also all the other cosplayers were so very nice I had a great time 😊

TODAY ON Me Never Shutting TF Up About OrangeJuiceVerse:
Let’s talk abt the Disaster Duo.
Aka Kenny McCormick and Stan Marsh. These two… smh they really are each other’s enablers (as Ky pointed out here) in all things. Naturally, I have headcanons that haven’t seen the light of day yet.
Aight so if u know the ojverse, you know that our sweet leading man Stanley Marsh absolutely thinks of Kenny as his Blood Brother In Desperation (someone get this man (me) away from FOB’s discography) and the platonic stenny bond is SO real. They’re always down to do stupid shit together and are 100% the reason Kyle has high blood pressure.
Kenny, on more than one occasion, has done some shit like gone up to Stan like “hey dude you wanna climb the water tower” and Stan didn’t even question it he was just “sure why not” when I say Marj and Kyle were sooo pissed bc Kenny fell off the ladder and knocked Stan off too on the way down lmfao these two idiots were in so much trouble for hurting themselves in a completely avoidable way.
Oh my GOD they set shit on fire all the time out here trying to start a grill because they’ve dubbed themselves the “grillmasters” and then suddenly Stan has no arm hairs. BOTH of them have threatened to drink lighter fluid at minor inconveniences.
As referenced here, Kenny, as a true weirdo artist boy (I’m projecting) once mixed acetone and resin INDOORS (he and Stan were drunk and not thinking) and the fumes were so strong that Stan deadass passed out and it was soooo stupid Kyle was so mad at them. With bigger projects throughout their ENTIRE lives if Ken is like building a big ass sculpture or sum he’s going to Stan and like Cartman will go out to the backyard of the Survivor House to see them dangling from the roof to get the top parts on and just sends a pic in the groupchat to get them in trouble smh
Oh my god I’ve mentioned that Stan had a parkour phase in middle school (referenced here) and who was with him trying to do backflips and vault over walls? Kenneth. This one time they were like “dude we should expand our gymnastics skills” “oh yeah for sure” and they started trying to do that two person cartwheel thing and they THOUGHT they got it down and went to show Kyle but they completely busted their asses like landing in a tangle of limbs and shit (Kenny died) bruh Kyle was SO fuckin mad like “THE FUCK ARE YALL DOIN THAT IN THE STREET FOR” and Stan was all “uhhh cuz it’s a flat stretch of ground? Duh” dumbasses
Canonically in the OrangeJuiceVerse these two are both school mascots (Stan only for the season Kenny played basketball, Kenny through the entirety of hs) and have stupid signature moves that they do in the “stank ass cow suit”. Like Kenny literally gets shot out of a cannon to kickoff football games and Stan does flips that are seriously not safe with the low visibility in a mascot head they actually have no sense of self preservation until someone gets hurt. Ohhh my god one time at a football game Stan was benched for whatever reason and he was BORED so he’s bothering Marj and Kenny and the other cheerleaders and he was full on “wait Ken stand on my shoulders and find Ky in the crowd” so they’re walking around the track like that (stunt buddies at their peak) and no one is watching the game they’re just distracted by whatever tf these two have going on and then the coach notices and is like “goddamnit MARSH! Get on the field!” Smh mans got unbenched for his own safety how ironic
As kids? No one went harder playing superheroes than these two. Cartman may have been the one leaning too hard into the “marketing” side of things (“fatass you can’t call yourself that! It’s a fucking slur!”) but Stan and Kenny were out here terrorizing construction sites bc there was so much cool shit to climb
Even as adults the shenanigans don’t stop dude Stan and Kyle drove over to the city to see Ken and Marj and Ky woke up in the middle of the night and Stan wasn’t there he went to get Marj “dude wake up the guys are gone” guess where the Disaster Duo was? Trying to get into a closed water park by digging under the fence. Yes they were in Trouble.
And when they’re older and Stan’s sober so you’d think he’d be slightly less inclined to do dumb shit? NOPE! He and Kenny are going WAY too hard at paintball and Stan falls off the top of an obstacle bc he was in “sniping mode” and “it’s like irl Fortnite!”
On their own? These two are fairly tame with some exceptions. Together? Someone needs an emergency room.
Alright I can’t sleep so it’s time for OJV headcanons that only myself will probably care about but who’s turn is it? Surprisingly not Kenny yet, but
Cartman.
• OrangeJuiceVerse Eric Cartman is an abrasive fuckwad, but he’s not actually Evil.
• He genuinely cares about his friends in his own fucked up way, but he will deny it every goddamn time. Like in hs he’ll give kenny a ride home when his shitty death trap car won’t start but he WILL insult him the whole way.
•this hasn’t been seen in the fics yet, but this mf starts a WEDDING PLANNING COMPANY called, you guessed it, CUPID ME. Marj actually got her degree in hospitality and helps him with it. Both the Style and Kenjorine weddings were GORGEOUS and so personal.
•he didn’t go to college himself but still lived with the group in their weird little house close to campus, and was the one to dubb the place “SP Survivors Safehouse” and named the EXTREMELY dangerous staircase the Widowmakers.
•was the drum major senior year but was incredibly lazy about it, just wanted a “position of power” (only got the position bc he’s an okay clarinet player and his mom slept with the assistant director)
•definitely fights with Kyle growing up ofc because as a child, he WAS truly evil. Like sociopathic. In 6th grade he FINALLY gets some mental help and is surprisingly good about keeping up with the cocktail of antipsychotics and various other shit, plus therapy and trying really hard to empathize with others.
^on that note he still ACTS LIKE A TOTAL DICK most of the time because he thinks it’s funny, but also because he is terrified of anything changing in their group and ya can’t teach an old mr kitty new tricks
• has the most OUT OF POCKET INSULTS ever and is SHOCKINGLY good at naming things. He coined the phrase “Sadsack” too.
• most of them are to mess with kyle of course. Some of his favorites are “pack it up, Fiddler On The Roof”, calling him a burning bush, prince of Egypt, things of that nature. HOWEVER!!!
•the rest of the gang accepted long ago that Cartman was always just gonna call them names and be a general jerk, but they SET UP RULES AS TO WHAT HE CANT DO/SAY!
• in high school, they implement the “Fuckwad Jar”.
• the rules of the jar are as follows: he can rip on his friends, but the SECOND something he does or says genuinely hurts someone, he has to put a dollar in. No exceptions.
• for example, he can roast Stan for being a “tree hugging hippie” and call him a buttplug, “photosynthesizing dildo”, but he CANT call him an alcoholic or try to bring home a taxidermied dog
• he’s not ACTUALLY for real transphobic, but if he tries to make a joke about Marj for shits and giggles, JAR!
• since his favorite target is Kyle, he has the most shit. He DOES still make fun of him for being Jewish, but ANYTHING GENUINELY ANTISEMITIC and ESPECIALLY ww2 “jokes” get the Jar. He’s also not allowed to say SHIT about his body, eating habits, or make ED jokes (this was a rule Stan made on his bfs behalf). Once, he made a concentration camp /ed joke COMBO while only Kyle and Marj were in the room. Kyle completely froze, but Marj went over and FUCKING DECKED HIM. When the other two got home and Kyle got over the initial shock, they all forced him to cough up his entire wallet lmao
• he can call Kenny a perv and rip on him for being poor and “pocket sized with nothing in his pockets”, he’ll call him McWhoremick but the Kenny jar rule is that you DO NOT SUGGEST THAT HES DISLOYAL
•sry I just enjoy the concept of the jar lol
•has a lot of fun living with the gang during his gap year, holding on to that last little bit of childhood normalcy, but eventually he does have to move on. He winds up traveling for a while and eventually settles in Nevada and sets up his business
•has a cat and that thing is SPOILED AS HELL
•tries to send Stan one of those beef jerky club memberships every year for Christmas lmaooooo
Today on Me Not Shutting TF Up About OrangeJuiceVerse:
The only person in the world that Moose doesn’t like is Randy Jackass Marsh
(Also you can find more Moose lore and his origin story, his lore-igin story (sry the wife is rubbing off on me w the puns) in these posts here and here)
Help ok so like this cat takes after Stan in that he is a total sweetheart and wouldn’t intentionally harm anyone, but when he met Randy for the first time? It was ON SIGHT!!!
Ok so a while after the bestest lil cat in the world comes into our lives, Kyle and Stan go on down to South Park to Have Themselves A Time (aka see their families for the holidays or something) and Moose is being Very Good in his little carrier (bc kyles driving and Kyle’s notorious road rage stresses Moose out to the point where he’s running all around the car smh hence the carrier) and ofc they go see Sharon first and then kys family and that kitty is a HIT! (Gerald’s dumbass is a lil wary bc he starts having cheesing flashbacks lmfaoooo idiot) Moose is so nice to everyone and Sheila’s out here stoked about what is essentially her first grandchild! But then…..
Eventually our lead boys have to make their way over to Randy’s Fuckass Farm. “Kyyyyy I don’t want to go see my dad.” “Stanathan you know he’ll bitch about it if we don’t” “ughhhh” rip lmao neither of them are in the mood for Randy shenanigans
And ofc when they pull up his deranged ass is all “STAHHHHNNNN you look more and more like your old man every time I see you!” (Stan did not appreciate this in the slightest) “yeah, yeah, hi. Hi Towlie” “well hi Stanley, Kyle, you boys wanna get a lil highhhh?” “We’ll pass, dude.” (Human Towlie lmfao) and then oh my god Kyle and Randy are attempting to be civil it’s like “Randall.” “Kyle.” Smh the beef.
So then they’re inside hearing about the latest adventures of Randy wreaking havoc and shit and Randy’s all “so you’re working at a vet clinic now, really still a shame about the football thing, buddy” as if this man was even AT any of the games and Stan’s like “yeah anyway” and pulls out the carrier and produces Moose “figured you’d wanna meet this guy” and Moose, ohhhhh lord he’s IMMEDIATELY like BAD VIBE BAD VIBE
Randy goes to pick him up and Moose, who has never scratched anyone in his entire tiny life, just claws and bites the SHIT out of him and Kyle’s swooping in to save his son from the clutches of Randy and going “oh my GOD you can’t just SNATCH him he’s just a baby!!!” Like Kyle and Moose are both SEETHING
Randy’s holding his bleeding face all dramatic like “Stan you should keep that little bastard in a cage!” And Towlie goes “the cat or the boyfriend?” Lmfaoooo
Needless to say the visit is cut short smh and Kyle is grinning the whole way home.
I’d like to know more abt the main five v bbfa2 dynamic, and maybe more abt tweek & craigs background like how long had tweek had an alc addiction, and maybe like how it turned into an addiction
Ayyyy that’s wassup first up Main 5 vs Broken Bottle Quartet!
So in general OJV is more style/m5 centric, especially earlier in the timeline, and the Main 5 all grew up in South Park, attached at the hip frfr
All five of them are extremely attached to each other, which is why when they graduate they all find a house close to campus to hold onto that familiarity from childhood for just a little while longer. Cartman was actually the one to suggest that they live together that first year despite not going to college himself, because OJV Cartman is EXTREMELY opposed to change (I delved into his psyche on that matter before and had a lot of fun thinking abt it lmao you can find some hcs here) that’s why despite caring wholeheartedly for the other four, he’s still an abrasive asshole for the hell of it.
After the group starts getting their footing in the post sp world, they become less reliant on familiarity as a crutch and more of as a comfort. Aside from the couples in the group, their are other pairs that are especially close (Stan and Kenny, Cartman and Marj) Stan and Kenny especially have this extreme unspoken understanding with each other, my beloved Disaster Duo, and of course Cartman and Kyle still butt heads and shoot the shit out of the need to mentally challenge themselves (though not out of any real anger. Most of the time)
Stan and Kyle are ofc the lead players of the OJV, and for sure the most parental in nature of all seven of the main cast, which brings me to:
(I’m gonna put a cut here this post is gonna be long)
Their role in the Broken Bottle Quartet.
Broken Bottles From Apartment 2 was an idea that languished in my notes long before I came up with the ojverse, and I knew I wanted it to revolve around a mid 20s Craig and Tweek moving into the same complex as Stan and Kyle.
At this point in their lives, the Quartet is pretty well settled into their careers and their lives (I’ll get into the Tweek of it all in a sec) and Style especially has that Adult Thing going on. Don’t be fooled, they’re still massive losers, but since Stan is a little over two years sober when they meet Creek, they fall into the mentor role really easily, just happy to have new neighbors their age.
Stan and Tweek get really close as the quartet story progresses, and Tweek and Kyle soon after. Craig and Kyle are in the same boat and have things they can bond over and they find that their dissimilar personalities actually work well. The most difficult relationship to form, though?
Craig takes a longggg time to get used to Stan. I’ve said before that ojv Craig is autistic, diagnosed at a young age, and that definitely plays into his struggle getting comfortable with style (new people in general) despite the fact that he doesn’t initially hate them. The thing that first puts him off about Stan is that OJV STAN IS A HUGGER and Craig does nottttt like being touched without his consent. And Stan of course is an awkward sweetheart who just wants to be friends with everyone, so he struggles to find something to bridge that gap.
That bridge comes in the form of a little brown cat. YEP Moose breaks the awkwardness! He’s drawn to Craig because Craig is calm and quiet, and of course that cat is so charming and precious that Craig’s immediately curious to hear his Lore and Stan is THRILLED bc 1) he gets to talk animals 2) he’s having a real conversation with crog.
Boundaries and communication are the FOUNDATION of the Broken Bottles Quartet, as opposed to the Main 5 who have been practically fused together since birth. It’s very much more of an Adult friendship than the Main 5.
As for creek background, they didn’t grow up in sp, or even in the same town as each other, but met in college. They just clicked perfectly, balancing each other out, and their relationship moved really quickly. By the time they meet Stan and Kyle, they’ve been married for about five years. Which brings me to:
The Tweek Of It All.
So when Tweek and Stan have their heart to heart in chapter 5 of BBFA2, he mentions that he’s always been a really anxious person, and Craig was the only one who could get him to really calm down, but a few years after they got married, Tweek’s parents were arrested for being whole ass drug lords. Tweek had no idea about any of it (yeah poor guy did ingest some meth coffee growing up but his parents stopped drugging him at around 10) so when everything came to light, he felt like his entire life had been a lie, pulled out from under him. Suddenly it was all he could think about, and while he’d only been a casual drinker before, now he found that he couldn’t get his brain to shut up again, unless he had enough alcohol in him. It built up over time, and he started hiding it because he convinced himself that he was enough of a burden on Craig already just because of his general mental health issues, so he started to rely on alcohol more than his husband. He was drinking heavily for about two years.
That fic was really important to me in general, but especially the message of sobriety and a support system. I’m SUPER attached to Sober King Stan lmao he’s the CORNERSTONE of the Quartet and Tweek’s healing arc was gratifying to write.
