What I Love About South Park (And Its Fandom)

Okay, considering my first two essays were fairly negative and tackled more serious issues with the south park fandom, it's time to remind myself (and you, random tumblr user) just what's so great about it. I've spent more than enough time defining what to hate - now I'll talk about what to love!

First off, thanks for clicking "keep reading" :) it really means a lot to me <3

Secondly, I'd like to start this properly by saying no, Matt and Trey are not perfect. They are not angels, they are no more human or godly or demon-ly than I am myself (although sometimes I doubt Trey's humanity). They are capable of failure and mistakes. They are also capable of great things. And in favor of keeping this light, I'll be talking about the latter half :>

Like any other south parkie, I too, enjoy and cherish the earlier seasons of South Park. They're fun, adventurous, and truly do radiate those small-town vibes we all can't get enough of. It's cool if you disagree, but I personally love a lot of the newer seasons, too! It may not have that country hand-made charm it once had, but at least I can enjoy knowing Matt and Trey's hands finally got a break when they switched from stop motion to digital. Yay, no carpel tunnel!

Actually, one of my favorite episodes is "The Cissy", because I really enjoy that despite the fact Cartman and Wendy's perceptions of being trans are flawed and mostly offensive, we still know that behind the scenes, Matt and Trey themselves don't express this specific view. We know that Cartman is pretending to be transgender to get into the girls' bathroom, but most importantly, we see from the showteller's point of view that it is wrong. That's what separates it from some other modern media with less than pretty depictions of transgender identities (*cough cough Steven Universe*).

Another thing to love? The characters! Any south parkie has their special character they love especially more than the others. Some of them don't even get any lines in the show! But they're all special and unique in their own way, and that's what's so addicting. Stan's cynical. Kyle's morally challenged. Cartman's everything-challenged. Kenny's funny. Butters is Butters. (And Scott Malkinson's diabetic).

Speaking of uniqueness and its role in South Park, I'd like to take a moment and thank the genius who wrote Butters' speeches in both Raisins and Butterballs, because they've really made me look at the world in a different lens. And gain some respect for people who choose to be happy. That takes some real guts and emotional maturity I don't have.

What else, what else? Why, of course, I can't forget you, dear average south park enjoyer, reading these words on a screen. You and everyone else in the south park fandom (minus a few). You've changed everything for me! I've met some of my closest and dearest friends because of this little controversial show about morally questionable egg children. How wild is that?

What's more- the fandom even influenced a key component in what makes South Park, well, South Park. I'm speaking about Craig and Tweek, of course, another great example of wonderful LGBT+ representation [see paragraph 5]. We did that!! WE!! Creek was so popular among the fans, Matt and Trey made it real. Literally. Like how the fuck did we manage to do that.

Astonishment aside, it's a wonderful feeling to know this little show has changed my life so much. My little monke brain just can't handle the comprehension :')

But maybe it's all hogwash. Maybe what I said doesn't even make sense! Glad I'm just a person on the Internet that nobody should take too seriously. And I'm glad you've made it to the end! Thanks reader, you get a gold star.

I hope you'll enjoy your day a little bit more today :D keep rockin, rockstar!

Job Hopping

I feel like some people need to hear this. It’s OK to job hop. Job hopping is NOT bad. This past year I had a teacher who, on the first day, was telling us about himself and had us guess the amount of jobs he’s had before this one. Some people guessed small numbers like 1 or 2 Some people guessed a little larger numbers such as 10 or 15 But you know what? He’s had 40+ jobs throughout his life! He wasn’t fired from any of them, and some of them he had at the same time. It wasn’t necessarily because of any sort of financial issue, but because he wanted to try to find what fit him best and made him happy. So don’t worry, if you can help it, if you go from job to job. Even if it is from being fired or because you quit, you are being given the chance to find something that makes you HAPPY. Have fun and job hop, my dudes!

You've got a ribbon, a dastardly versatile thing. Cut it, tie it, stretch it, tear it. What is it still? A ribbon.

So why do we think we can do that to people? Why do we push and push and push against others until they break, thinking that if we do that, we can mold them into someone else and make them into whatever we want? Why change them when they are beautiful just the way they are? Why make them into something they're not? Why even try?

Because I'll tell you one thing about human nature. Humans are like diamonds. I know you've heard this before, but listen, listen closely. Humans are like diamonds, you put them under immense pressure, like debt, work, single parenting, and they harden to something unbreakable, something that nothing can conquer other than themselves.

You are a diamond. Only you can cut you down and when you are broken into pieces, you can build yourself up and back together into something even more beautiful than before.

Every time they turn the lights down. Just want to go that extra mile for you. You public display of affection. Feels like no one else in the room (but you). We can get down like there's no one around. We'll keep on rockin' . We'll keep on rockin'. Cameras are flashin' while we're dirty dancin'. They keep watching. Keep watching. Feels like the crowd is saying. Gimme, Gimme more, Gimme, More, Gimme, Gimme, More, Gimme, Gimme more, Gimme, More

*puts on sunglasses* ahem

i would like to thank my mother for all the support and ass whoppings shes given me, and i would also like to thank all my fans that keep me cool during summer despite raising my electricity bill🤧 /thank you all and goodnight/

Когда солдаты по ошибке убивали своих

http://civilization-history.ru/post/104072543611

Во время Отечественной войны 1812 года были нередки случаи убийства и ранения офицеров русской армии от своих же солдат, особенно вечером и ночью, из-за привычки офицеров говорить между собой по-французски.
