Camp Campbell's Resident Furry

Pretty much my dumping grounds of fandom-related stuff. Mostly cartoons cause I haven't grown up yet.

The new episode has fueled my love for a Max and Harrison friendship/relationtion keep an eye out for me to draw my undying love for them

I'd argue Kenny is another character that's inaccurately portrayed in fanon. The only thing that remains consistent is his dedication to his sister and friends. Otherwise, he's this extroverted chatty being who's always in people's business/love lives and can't keep his hands to himself. Most of his dialect is always something sexual [or flirty] as opposed to just the occasionally joke or laughing at suggestiveness. (Kenny's friendly, but a quiet, selfless, down-to-earth, private person)

To be completely honest, what character from the South Park crew is NOT portrayed inaccurately in fanon? Most of them are grossly generalized or given traits they may have only been shown having in ONE episode (Kyle being the “sweet one,” Clyde being a crybaby, etc.) but are not main elements of their personality.Kenny is unfortunately one of the more sorry examples of this, his fanon self most often being the close opposite to his canon self; the only thing people get right about Kenny is, as you said, his loyalty and love for his sister as well as Mysterion and his bountiful angst, but even that’s sometime is taken too far and have it transition into a depression when Mysterion is literally all an over dramatic act, much like his facade as Princess Kenny (I’d argue Kenny secretly has a love for theater and acting).The no-hood, extrovert, foul-mouthed, and seriously depressed Kenny in fanon, in short, is not MY Kenny. Gimme more of the reserved, playful, wise-beyond-his-years Kenny that canon hides behind the hood and sex enthusiasm!

Reblog if you’re in support of Kenny McCormick actually being incredibly wise for his age and he hides his secrets behind his parka because he’s too good for this world

You know a surprising trope I keep seeing in the South Park fandom that is both really heartbreaking and intriguing? Clyde going into a psychotic break and/or the next likely to perform a wicked or immoral deed, only second to Cartman, in fanon. Heartbreaking cause, ah, my poor boy. It’s crazy to think someone as emotional and as much of a dunce as Clyde is would be able to pull off the schemes that I keep seeing him pull off or even have any thought to harm anyone, and yet, it’s a surprisingly common trope (Exhibit A, Yandere Clyde). Granted, I’ve seen almost every reoccurring character go into some immoral AUs, with the lone exceptions of Token, Stan, and Tweek (though I wouldn’t be surprised if I missed one of the last two), but Clyde seems to be the second most common only to Cartman. And weirder still, I haven’t found one where his mother’s death was a trigger; most of the time it was a relationship cause, which you wouldn’t expect from canon Clyde. At least in every psycho or immoral Clyde I found to date the personality is consistent; he’s usually clueless, naive, or completely driven by impulse. If anything else, it’d make sense if he ran by his heart before his mind and would be the type of person to let emotions take too much control. At the end of the day... South Park you scareh

You know what? Fuck it.

Can y’all like or reblog this post if:

1) You do not support adult/child ships in the Camp Camp fandom 2) You do not support those who do, and do not try and pull the ‘it’s only fiction, they can ship what they want’ bullshit excuse. 3) You would want to be told if you accidentally reblogged art or content from a shipper or shipper supporter because you do not want their content on your blog. 4) You do not support the idea of telling people to kill themselves over a ship because while hating people who support pedophilia is okay and understandable, that behavior is never acceptable.

I realize this seems like a ‘fishing for notes’ post but tbh, I get enough notes on other posts. This is more for curiosity’s sake.

[thatfurryinthefandom-blog]

I agree with this full-heartedly! Yes, the idea of shipping kidsxadults is a very uncomfortable one and certainly not my own cup of tea, but I would NEVER condone the art of wishing death on someone over liking a ship of the kind, even though it’s so morally dark. They find it fascinating, so be it; telling them they should die is not gonna sway their opinion. So long as they’re not causing any harm with their shipping, leave them be and keep your judgement to a general “eww, that’s disgusting.”

[thatfurryinthefandom-blog]

Oops I got an AU idea with a pointless ship that nobody needs except me and I may do a comic or a fic of it because it’s sO FREAKIN CUTE But I’ll leave it at that til I get to it and call it the Camp Camp Peter Pan Rehearsal AU. Interpret that as you will.

In defense to Eric Cartman...

Yes, I’m going to be defending the little hellspawn of the South Park fandom that’s even worse than the actual hellspawn, or that’s what I’m always hearing (Damien just murders people!). 

It’s a repeated trend in the SP fandom that people either LOVE Cartman or absolutely DESPISE him; it’s another one of those no in between scenarios. And to be fair, people have the right to not like him; he’s incredibly racist, mocks those with mental and physical illness, absolutely psychotic in every meaning of the word, and an overall messed-up little boy. I don’t know all the evil little things he’s done because I have yet to watch every single episodes, but I’ve seen enough to know just how much of a twisted character he is. But here’s the thing. He’s a LITTLE BOY. One in a cartoon where literally everything is exaggerated, no less, where everything is meant to be blown out of proportion for the shock and comedic value. You wouldn’t find a kid in real life who would ground up someone’s parents into chili merely for revenge reasons, now would you? There have been crazy kids, but they’re incredibly rare whereas in South Park they litter the community. My point being, you can easily pin Cartman’s extremes on the comedy of the show. 

But he’s still bigoted, right? THAT is actually possible in a 10 year old, certainly. There seems to be no real source either; his mother is a good woman, if neglectful in a way. That truly means Cartman is just evil, right? 

 Nobody seems to realize that every kid ever is different, but they tend to have a general personality; quiet and observant, skittish and easily guilty, curious and adventurous, loud and rambunctious, and analytical and manipulative. Each and every one needs to be figured out at a young age and raised differently to become the best individual they can be. When you don’t accommodate for a child’s needs, they’re going to turn out to be messed up in some regard because they don’t have the proper guidance to use their personalities for good. 

Cartman is easily categorized as an analytical and manipulative child. I know this easily because my little sister was and still is one; I see a lot of her behaviors in him, despite the fact that she herself is not racist or bigoted. He was probably the type of kid who would look at every person as a baby with a critical eye, figuring out what he could do to get what he wanted from them. Kids who are manipulative are incredibly smart and observant, able to judge what kind of person someone is and what makes them tick at a glance so that they’re able to work them to their own whims. They have incredible people-skills, but in the case of Cartman in particular, they’re also in need of attention, as most kids are. These types of kids you need to learn how to outsmart to keep one step ahead of them, and you have to do it fast. They can make incredible leaders if they’re controlled enough to learn how to respect; something they usually don’t know right away. 

Cartman is unfortunately a prime example of what happens if they’re NOT controlled; when he failed to learn respect, he instead learned what makes people tick and how to get them to a point easy enough to control. He learned that people who are upset are emotionally vulnerable and are easy to manipulate and to get their attention from, hence why he always calls people offensive names. He’ll do it repeatedly to people he knows he’ll get attention from every time, like poor Kahl. Add on the fact that his family life is quite a bit messed up and his mom isn’t often giving him attention— far less than a child like him needs... Well, that’s a recipe for disaster. 

 So, in conclusion, I wouldn’t totally pin the blame on his behavior on him, nor is he totally not redeemable. He is a very good example of a child born into the absolute worst environment for a child like him, especially since he is not the type of kid to just get over it and deal with it. Its not the worst family scenario in the world, granted, much less in South Park; from what I’ve seen, the general consensus is that Kenny holds that title. The difference between the two is their personalities; Kenny is more of the quiet and observant child, who tend to be much more flexible, appreciative, far less attention-hungry, and much lower maintainance, which is why he got out of his situation a much better child than Cartman did. If you think about it in that way, Cartman is an incredibly tragic character, don’t you think? I think he needs to be thought about more in that regard, beyond thinking he’s an “evil” character and more has an “attention-starved” nature. 

Cartman has the potential of being a good kid and a great leader, as mentioned before. He just needs to also be taught respect and humility, which is completely possible for a still-learning child like him.

I know a lot of people like the big ol’ popular ships— after all, they’re popular for a REASON— but for some reason I always find myself coming back to the rare/non-canon ships. It’s, like, a guilty pleasure. I’m thinking that’s because of the content in the fandom. Seriously, with popular ships, there’s A LOT of content for them, but admittedly, anything GOOD is like a needle in a heart-filled haystack. Some work— writing and art— just feel like they’re there as part of the trend, or to get attention because it’s a popular ship. It just doesn’t often have a lot of passion in it, and while really good works exist for the popular ships, for me, it’s a grueling process to wade through and I’m bound to miss the good stuff. Rare ships, on the other hand, well, RARELY have this problem. The fact that there is little works out there of the ship to look through helps, but to be honest, rare ship artwork scarcely ever disappoint. People who consider these ships usually have a serious love for them, no ulterior motive behind the passion, and do the work out of the goodness of their heart with nobody but a very small niche to impress. Sometimes they find themselves in the ship, or they adore the characters, or they see a hidden chemistry that they love— whatever the cause, people who do content of rare ships usually make the content with a dedicated passion. Sometimes they do it just as a joke to poke some fun, which is sometimes just as good. It’s almost always wonderful; almost makes the fact that there’s so little rare ship content worth the while.

I found @themonotonysyndrome‘s story Consort of Chaos today and I think I have found my favorite New Kid concept to date, like they nail him

So I did a warm-up doodle of my interpertation of him. Probs gonna draw him again later ‘cause I’m not happy with this ah

[thatfurryinthefandom-blog]

See, I hate the shipping community sometimes...

And no, this isn’t geared towards one particular fandom, so tag what fandom you will. This is a problem in literally every fandom, so long as there’s more than two characters in it.

But my god, I don’t think there is and will ever be a part of any fandom that is more judgmental, more spiteful, more freakin violent than a fandom’s shipping community, which is ironic ‘cause it’s supposed to be the most love-filled and supportive side, don’t you think? Like holy hell, someone hears about their friend shipping a couple they don’t like and they’ll want to have nothing to do with them. Someone hears someone shipping a relationship they dub “abusive” and they find it every reason to rip their throat out. Someone hears an innocent shipper shipping a ship that could never be canon and oop! The poor kid is suddenly shunned from the community!

People seem to forget that these characters they are shipping are figments of fiction. 

They may have emotions and their own individual thoughts, and some may hold significant meaning to the creators or their audience, but it’s not like you’ll ever be able to go face to face with them in any other way than cosplay, nor will they ever be effected by what their fans do directly. The shippings you guys get so defensive over are merely concepts of love-based relationships, first written into words then performed by directed characters. They may seem real, but that’s to get you to feel the emotions the authors are trying to get you to feel. At the end of the day, they just aren’t real.

But the people you guys bully over this stuff? They are real. 

They actually feel the words you say to them; they respond to your protests and your vicious bullyings. They’re not just a little emoji you see writing words or drawing artwork online; there’s a real human being behind the screen feeling every word you say. And it’s horrible. People are threatening the death of real people over a concept of love that’s not even of this world and in every other context other than the world of fiction, doesn’t even exist.

Isn’t that sad?

I see the common argument that if someone supports a supposedly abusive or unlawful relationship then the person that ships it supports that sort of relationship in real life as well. “They’re a pedophile” or “They’re an abuser/victim.” While this may be true for some-- after all, why some people certain ships because they see themselves in a relationship that they think is their ideal through this ship-- that can’t be the case for everyone. 

Think about it in this way: a lot of people have a favorite character a villain-- Daniel from Camp Camp, Loki from Thor, Zuko from Avatar, and don’t get me started with shows starring villains like Invader Zim, Villainous, and a lot of supervillain flicks-- but if they met people with similar traits of the villains in real life? Odds are they’d run or kick em in their secret weapon into next week, right? They just find the villain and all their devious deeds put into writing so fascinating, and they love this guy or gal for it; that does not mean they want these people in real life and would support their endeavors in the real world.

Same goes for fictional relationships. Even though they like an abusive relationship in a story does not mean they would want one themselves nor would cheer on a very real abuser in a very real relationship. Nor would a rationally-thinking adult actively seek out a child to kiss even though they like two characters together despite age differences; from what I’ve seen, most shippers like this are very aware of the moral wrongs and actively emphasis how wrong the situations they put their characters in are. At the end of the day, it’s still in good fun directed towards a particular niche in the community; it may not strike your fancy, but you should not attack something you shouldn’t understand. Unless these people do this sort of stuff in real life, you cannot blame for finding something so morally black fascinating, much like you do not and should not attack someone for loving a villain.

And don’t get me started with shipping actors. Just because two characters in a show are in a relationship does not mean the actors should be together as well.

Poor Millie Brown from Stranger Things having to deal with people judging her relationship choices because they ship her with someone else when she’s freakin 13. People who ship just feel so entitled to say who belongs with who and who deserves to die alone (poor Jacob.) No, that is not okay because, again, the characters they act as are fictional; a series of words that make up emotions and individual thoughts, they just take the form of a real person rather than a drawing. And this time, all the words you direct towards these characters go to the actors instead; entirely different people with entirely different thoughts and their own individualism. They’re the ones that feel your harsh words and respond to them, and you know what? They don’t deserve it, and you have no right to tell them who to date, much like I have no right to tell you you should date a porcupine because it would be better for you than Antonio. No, that’s just not how it works.

All I have to say is, what happened? Wasn’t the shipping community supposed to be a fun activity? Something to make you happy because of the cuteness? Steamy because of the hotness? Cry because of the heartbreak? Just a fascinating look into two or more character’s dynamics together in a lovey-dovey setting? It’s not meant as a battlefield of judgement and hate, as much as songs like to define love as. Let people ship what they want and mind your own goddamn business.
