short angry cat bf kyle x big boy golden retriever bf stan is the realest
Lmaoooo thank you, like minded anonymous individual! I love that for them
I just feel like that’s the energy they emit to me, everyone has their opinions on what the boys look like, and 90% of the time I write them, Stan is tall and strong Kyle is shorter and slimmer. BUT to some degree it just depends on what version of them it is, like if a certain au kyle feels lanky to me, and elf Kyle is usually tall to me.
There’s a lot of variety out there on the physical descriptions of all the boys in fics, and I’m a firm believer that there’s no right or wrong answer because it’s literal South Park, we’re just havin fun out here!
Like, Kenny, for example. When I’m describing Kenny it depends on how his energy feels in that particular au. Is this Kenny short? Is he tall? How does he wear his hair? What color are his eyes?
And the topic of bleached hair Stan OH BOY that’s a popular headcanon for him especially in the last year, and I love reading it as long as it fits the version of him in the story if that makes sense (boxwinebaddie definitely made me enjoy it lmao ily queen) Personally I think most of my Stans feel more natural to me, that classic all american blue eyes dark hair lookin like prince eric mf (bunytime’s art of him influenced a lot of how I picture him when I’m writing, especially ojv)
Back on Kyle, I actually never considered him being short until I read some authors who write him short (jwinks Winter Butterfly converted me I’ve said it many times, some of their Kyles heavily influenced how I think of him in general) and since then I can’t unsee it (also uhhhh I just really like him getting picked up by the sbf lmao)
Oh yeah and Butters! For some reason I’ll usually write butters short but Marj tall it just feels right
One mf I don’t really sway on with physical traits is Cartman, like he’s always fat and he always has one blue eye, one brown
I also tend to picture Craig the same way when I write him and that is absoLUTELY bluebutbetter’s art of him. Just feels right lmao
Something I’ve been guilty of before is if there’s a fic I really love or an author I really admire who interprets the boys differently than I do, whether that be their personalities or how they look, I get insecure and feel like I’m Wrong lmao. But the thing is, their stories are their stories, and my stories are mine! At the end of the day we write for ourselves and our truth, and that’s kickass!
Sorry I kinda went off on a tangent there but BASICALLY one of the cool things about this fandom and fandom in general is how widespread everyone’s headcanons are! Like it’s a show about paper cutout foul mouthed children sky’s the limit! And SP canon is so bizarre and all over the place that AU’s are just BEGGING to happen and I think that’s beautiful! To each their own, write the guys however you want and never belittle someone for their interpretation!
In the words of the social worker guy: we like to have fun here!
