K2 appreciation post. I'm so emotional about them š
For me, their relationship is "Kyle supports Kenny, and Kenny supports Kyle".
Out of main four, Kyle is acknowledging and overall appreciating Kenny the most. He's also almost always the first one to consider Kenny's problems and help him with them, like it was in Major Boobage (S12E3), where Kenny was struggling with addiction. Other even more significant example is S14E3, where Mysterion tells others about his
immortality. Even tho it didn't really work after all, Kyles does something that no one did before: He sees Mysterion's reaction, how upset he is, and decides to consider Mysterion's words as true. We can't really tell if he actually did or he pretended to just so he can make Mysterion feel better (still sus), but the truth is: No one has ever tried before. Except for Kyle.
And it's not only Kyle supporting Kenny. Kenny does too. I'd say he doesn't directly participate it Kyle's problems, but I freak out every time when Kenny's trying to comfort Kyle with his words or touches.
I'm gonna leave this next one without commentary, because they are just so šš
The most honorable mention: Jewbilee (S3E9). I'm just. I'm not even gonna talk about how at the start of the episode Kenny was inviting Kyle to watch a meteor show with him, how Kyle was determined to take Kenny with him to Jewbilee ("Maybe you can go with me! Then it won't suck so hard!" KYLE BROFLOVSKI??). But THIS LINE is my absolute favorite. Yes Kyle, he is special. Please, if you love these two as much as I do, rewatch this episode. It's just them, spending time together and some shit happening
Lastly, if I talk about the ship specifically, I would like to add how I see their romantic relationships: They probably wouldn't have the "childhood crush" thingy. What I more prefer is, them growing up a bit afar from each other (not literally afar. just. emotionally yk yk), keeping their happy memories, but eventually coming back to each other, as they realize how similar they are to each other and how much comfort and healing they can give each other (I can make a post about this)
i dont talk about creekenny enough so hereās a headcanon iāve been thinking about !!
you might think about creek being softies to each other, but actually theyāre the ones having constant fights and arguments and getting kenny involved in this. and like, at the beginning he actually tried his best to help those two make peace, but at some point he got pretty sick of it so he prefers to just stay out of their silly little fights knowing they canāt possibly stay mad at each other for too long. so now he doesnāt usually intervene (unless the fight is really serious but that happened only once or twice) and mostly he hangs out with cartman until craig and tweek solve their problems. and donāt judge him ācause heās actually really willing to help but most of the time they just donāt need someone elseās help.
it usually goes like this:
kenny: (Hey guys, you wanna have a movie night?)
tweek: I am NOT watching movies with this two-faced heartless prick!
craig: Neither am I. Kenny, could you tell Tweek to go fuck himself?
kenny: (Oh god, not againā¦)
tweek: Actually ā GAH! ā I have a better idea. How about we watch movies together, Ken? Just you, me and the romantic night.
craig: Heās not gonna watch your gay-ass musicals.
tweek: Well!! Uh! Heās not gonna watch your stupid documentaries either!
kenny: (Why am I even trying?)
tweek: So what do you wanna do, Kenny? Do you choose spending time with your favourite boyfriend, or, huh, hanging out with that lame asshole.
kenny: (Actually, the āassholeā part sounds kind of entertaiā)
craig & tweek, shouting in sync: Kenny!
kenny: (Alright, alright! Actually, guys, Iād rather get drunk with Cartman watching superhero movies until you figure out your issues.)
tweek: Thatās ā gah! ā a backstabbing move, Kenny!
craig: Didnāt think Iād say that, but Tweek is right.
tweek: Thanks!
craig, looking away: ā¦
tweek, ashamed: ā¦Okay, Iām sorry, Craig.
craig: Iām- Iām sorry too, Tweek. I didnāt mean to upset you, honey.
kenny: (See? Told ya Iām the best throuple counsellor on Earth.)
A bunch of kymans before my brain gets fried up
SO imagine a soulmate au where people get a mark on their wrist that somehow implies who their soulmate is (basic). the mark usually appears somewhere about the age of 16-18.
not all people have soulmates, itās a rather rare occasion (like one person out of 700 people), but if there have been people with soulmates in the family before, it increases the chances of having a soulmate-destined baby.
and now. STENNY.
kennyās parents are soulmates (which is an INCREDIBLY rare situation because most of the time only one or nobody in a couple has a mark) so it was pretty natural to expect him having a mark.
other guys in the friendsā group didnāt worry about it much because they didnāt have any soulmates in their families, so they thought the chances of getting a soulmate mark were too low.
until one day stan wakes up and sees a death mark on his wrist. like. the grim reaper mark.
and he (naturally) gets scared as fuck. he tries to show this mark to anyone to reassure him that itās ok but everyone seems pretty scared of it just as much as he is.
after, like, one week wendy breaks up with him saying that sheās afraid itās some sort of a curse and she doesnāt really want to risk her life for a death-marked boy
and stan (once again naturally) gets depressed.
and uh. kenny is the only one who understands the meaning of the mark. but he canāt really tell the truth to stan because he simply wouldnāt believe if one of his best friends just casually told him āah yes weāre soulmates and the reason why your mark is so weird is because i die at least once a week. wanna go on a date now?ā
and while stan is out there hating his unknown soulmate, kenny has to listen to him complaining about his terrible luck and just. do nothing.
so kenny is just⦠waiting for his mark to appear so he can have a real proof of their soulmateship.
and now imagine the drama.
kyle in post covid who finally started dating cartman but every day he feels this bitter dissatisfaction because he canāt accept the fact that he and cartman lost forty years spent with wrong people when they could have been together since elementary school if only they were a bit more opened with their own emotions. and this feeling of wasted years, wasted life keeps haunting him and never lets go :(
both kyle and cartman joined the debate club in high school. kyle thought it would help him with his public speaking skills and improve his critical thinking, meanwhile cartman was just looking for an opportunity to release the anger and stress he had and fucking destroy someone in a verbal fight.
and ā uh-oh, such a coincidence ā they both joined it at the same time without knowing it.
kyle was obviously pissed off, and he was actually thinking of quitting, because the idea of spending school hours arguing with cartman didnāt really seem appealing to him, but eventually his pride wouldnāt let him simply give up.
āI can be in any club I want, and I wonāt let Cartman fucking ruin it for me! Youāll see, dude, heāll drop out in one or two meetings when I absolutely win him in a debate!ā as he then explained to stan.
kyle was preparing for the first debate harder than for any of his normal school activities. he would spend nights perfecting his reasoning and making a plan for his speech, until he was absolutely sure cartman had zero chances to win.
the theme was something controversial like, iām not sure, politics or something, and kyle was totally sure that cartman would come unprepared, because he hates anything homework-like, and he ususally prefers improvising.
he was wrong, though, as cartman has been preparing. he entered the classroom with a small stack of papers with his reasoning on them, he was smiling brightly and joking, and kyle for the first time felt insecure about his skills. he felt rather nervous as he knew that cartmanās charisma and the ability to tell lies in the blink of his eye made kyle look worse in a debate, but he still hoped the teacher had some common sense and wouldnāt let cartman blind them with his confident smiles and fake politeness.
but the nervous anxious feeling in kyleās chest wouldnāt go away, so when cartman started speaking, kyle couldnāt just stay quiet, sighing irritatedly when cartman said things like āviolence is badā. as kyle knew damn well thatās not what cartman actually thought.
so when the debate was coming to its end and cartman was giving another hypocritical speech, kyle just couldnāt be silent anymore, interrupting cartman with his new counter arguments (and adding some insults as well). cartman, of course, lost his temper too, and the constructive discussion instantly became a heated bickering. teachers tried to stop it but when kyle and cartman are fighting literally nothing can distract them.
cartman: Look, capitalism is just the natural way of things. It's the perfect system, without it everything would fall apart!
kyle: How can you be sooo blind and ignorant to everything?! Capitalism breeds inequality, it's the reason behind a lot of problems in our society, you just don't know it because you haven't experienced all the struggles, you fat privileged fuck!
cartman: Oh, Iām privileged?? Well, youāre just a whiny jew who can't handle the truth. You're just jealous your greedy ass can't make money yourself!
kyle: Shut up, Cartman, Iām warning you!
after a few antisemitic-fatphobic-homophobic slurs they were both kicked out and banned from entering the club again.
they both seemed disappointed and annoyed by it, but cartman had a smug smirk on his face, feeling proud of making kyle mad.
they wouldnāt stop their fight though, arguing all the way back home, without being pressured or watched, and kyle caught himself thinking that arguing with cartman is pretty, well, addicting and he might actually be enjoying it.
at the end they decided itās a tie, and for the goodbye cartman says something like āWell, youāre annoying as fuck, but I gotta hand it to you, youāre good at debating. Who even needs that stupid club, anyway?ā
and kyle smiles, nodding. āNext week, the same timeā he says already walking away from Cartman.
and they meet again, choosing a topic and preparing for the debate by themselves because they donāt need a club to argue with each other.
so iāve been thinking A LOT about kyman love languages recently and hereās what iāve come up with:
kyleās love language is definitely help.
heās pretty used to helping those in need and that is how he usually shows affection. he doesnāt say āi love youā or hugs cartman often, but when he has a chance to stay at cartmanās room he will subconsciously clean up everything here and there; he keeps an eye on whether cartman is taking his meds; he will casually tuck him in at a sleepover, help cartman with his homework (constantly grumbling about cartmanās laziness), buy his favourite chocolate bar at the store⦠but he will never admit he actually cares about cartman, neither will he accept the same help from eric. he will deny it and make excuses although everyone understands how much he really protects cartman.
in response he loves to get affection with quality time!
he wonāt admit it but he loves dates for just the two of them.
what about cartman, uh, he mostly expresses his love with physical touching.
and itās so. so. terrible. cartman knows how much kyle hates pda so he usually tries to embarrass kyle with unexpected kisses in public :D cartmanās the type to intervene kyleās conversation to demonstratively hug him from the back and kiss his neck and then just go away without any explanation leaving kyle all blushing and distracted. kyle is seriously pissed off every time so they have the same dialogue every goddamn week:
kyle: Did you really have to kiss me in front of everyone?
cartman: That Mexican dude was obviously hitting on you.
kyle: I donāt even know his name, asshole!
cartman: Whatās the problem, Kyle? Canāt I just kiss my boyfriend when I feel like it? Is it prohibited? Or are you just homophobic?
kyle: I canāt even tell how tired of your bullcrap I am.
cartman: Because, Kyle, last time I checked America was a free country! Where people like me could kiss people like you whenever they want!!
kyle: Do you even hear yourself?
cartman: Anyway, didnāt you like it though?
kyle, blushing: It was⦠fine, I guessā¦
and in response cartman loves to get attention with words of affirmation or praise.
heās so desperate to get praised by kyle :( i mean nobody really says nice things to him except for his own mother so every time kyle says something like āwow, cartman, you did a great job, huh⦠thatās surprisingā¦ā and cartman canāt hide these happy sparkles in his eyes. also itās the highest reward for him to be called āericā by kyle.
