Parallels from 2007 11x07’s ‘Night of the Living Homeless’ and 2024’s Special ‘The End of Obesity’

Stan and Kenny often question Kyle’s idealism but are usually cool to go along for the ride lmao (even though they were confused about why Kyle wanted to jump all the homeless people?)

Bonus: one of the times they got sick of Cartman and Kyle’s arguing and just left them (I imagine they do this a lot lol. Cartman looks so sad):

i have never asked for anything before so please tell me what im doing wrong and if im doing anything wrong please correct and tell me. so basically like may i have like main four (separately) x british reader ? like they are getting used to a british schooling system or something and the reader helps them? and they like help introduce and teach them what to do and stuff. i honestly dont know how this works so im sorry if i do anything wrong 😭

Team Stan getting used to a British school system💖💖🌈🌈

Note: I really don't know much about how this works either so I hope this still satisfies you.

Warnings: None

Gender: Neutral

💙💚 The Main Four 🧡❤️

They would probably be annoyed that they have to get use to a schooling system that they aren't interested in.

You came out of nowhere and decided to help them adjust to the schooling system since they are new to it.

They automatically knew you were British after you were rambling about the schooling system.

You explained to them how students study English, maths, sciences, humanity, and a modern language. (IDK I literally looked this up 😭😭)

Aside from the fact that they are making British jokes about you, they actually appreciate that you are helping them get used to this schooling system.

You might as well be their tutor to help them with certain homeworks that they have a hard time understanding. (Cartman is lazy to figure out his homework).

If you get Phillip to also help tutor them, they're definitely gonna be annoyed but they will suck it up until Pip goes away.

They have to admit that you are less annoying then Pip even though you are British. ❤️🧡💚💙

I ACCIDENTALLY WROTE THEM TOGETHER INSTEAD OF SEPARATELY! IM SO SORRY!

Kenny McCormick from south park is a Traumagenic DID system

Kenny McCormick from South Park is a Traumagenic DID System!

Traumagenic refers to a system whose creation / origin is the result of one or more traumatic events. Often, these systems have lingering trauma, and may fall under a diagnosis like DID or OSDD-1

The most famous form of disordered plurality, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a condition listed in the DSM-V and ICD-11. It's the most severe dissociative disorder, wherein a diagnosis of DID makes any other diagnosis in that category null. DID is most known for its alters (or headmates), but it is much more complex than just having multiple individuals in one mind

I swear I'm so ready to smack him in the head with the pool noodle he keeps turning my daggers into. I'm coming back for ya, Sir Broflovski. XD
