#south park unfulfilled

[rilu-artblog]

Legit one of my favorite things about Gerald is the fact that he tries to get away with the shit he started and it usually half works lol

Like whenever Randy or Cartman start shit, they usually either lose what they wanted or get punished for it, but when they don’t it just feels like “oh they got away with it I guess :/“

But with Gerald it’s like “you shouldn’t get away with this but the way you managed to do it is so pathetic and wet dog of you that it’s actually entertaining”

The man just goes oopsies 🥺 I guess I shouldn’t have tried to sue everyone 🥺🥺 sowwy I guess

South Park Filler Guide - Season 22

Link for Seasons  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

S22E1 Dead Kids is CANON

Sets up the main theme for the season, which is the fact that school shootings happen way too often. We get comfirmation that Nichole and Tolkien got back together since their breakup in S20E2. Stan gets shot at the end. S22E2 A Boy and a Priest is CANON

Stan has his arms in a cast, which is the only way they ever acknowledge his incident from the previous canon episode, which means this one is canon, even if most of its content is basically filler. Clyde has his birthday party for which is probably the same birthday he invited others in S21E8. Stan also seems to love board games now, which is a follow-up to S18E6. S22E3 The Problem with a Poo is CANON

This is the continuation of the Strong Woman arc from S21E10, in which she got pregnant, and now she is giving birth. Her children will return in later episodes and get their own arcs. Mr. Hankey also gets banished from the town. S22E4 Tegridy Farms is CANON

If there is one episode that you won't ever question the canonicity of is this one. If the season premiere set the tone for the season, this one sets the tone for the next season and basically serves a new pilot for the remainder of the series. They were not joking around with this one. S22E5 The Scoots is LORE

Kenny bonds with Mr. Mackey and while the scooters will appear later, other than their existence, the events of the episode don't matter much. S22E6 Time to Get Cereal is CANON

How could it not be, when ManBearPig not only appears, after being heavily foreshadowed back in S10. (Yes, I know real life context is different, but by storytelling logic that is what has happened), but Satan is also back for the ride and sets up a new development for his arc, but that is to come in the very connected next episode... S22E7 Nobody Got Cereal? is CANON

Satan v ManBearPig fight to the death. This is a big one for the series canon, which has had Satan go through a ton of development that helped him get to this very point. S22E8 Buddha Box is CANON

The Strong Woman arc continues! Seems like this season is really good at switching between a few multi-season storylines to focus on. Eric also gets diagnosed with anxiety. S22E9 Unfulfilled is CANON

Yeah, sure, why not? Tweek Bros. Coffee is no longer alive, due to Amazon, this might have helped Helen's independence in later seasons. The mall workers are now zombies from abandonment. But this is more obviously a set-up for the finale and that one IS canon, because... S22E10 Bike Parade is CANON

This is the culmination of the season as a whole. Although if I really want to find a reason for this one to count, we see Ned to be alive after the events of S22E6, which made it dubious if he survived his incident with ManBearPig.

SPOILER-FREE��RUNDOWN

S22E1 Dead Kids is CANON S22E2 A Boy and a Priest is CANON S22E3 The Problem with a Poo is CANON S22E4 Tegridy Farms is CANON S22E5 The Scoots is LORE* S22E6 Time to Get Cereal is CANON S22E7 Nobody Got Cereal? is CANON S22E8 Buddha Box is CANON S22E9 Unfulfilled is CANON S22E10 Bike Parade is CANON *We learn how the scoots in the finale first appeared

Overall: 146 out of 298 Personal notes: This season is heavily serialized, however unlike S20, not all 10 episodes follow the same storylines, mostly 2 episodes share a storyline and that's it. We have two two-parters and another two that are part of another storyline, a status quo changing episode and several cross-references between them all. South Park keeps finding new ways to handle continuity.

Legend Reborn

Technoblade is a legend on the QSMP. His deeds are ballads sung in the festive streets of the favela, chronicle of dedication inspiring the monumental stretch of potatoes growing on the wall and tales of hard-won battles uplifting the fight against the worst government known yet.

Sometimes, an unusually large Cucurucho can be found at the shrine dedicated to his memory, fingering a singular emerald earring.

The crown before him gleamed with familiar, unfulfilled purpose.

------------

Technoblade left the DSMP when he deemed Dream’s oppressive server free from the tyranny of governments, forever meant to be more than the sums of suppressive never meant to bes and unfinished symphonies. The tundra that once shielded armies of dogs and withers soon swarmed with the metaphorical winds of adventure, melting the cold heart he developed to survive on this server with its dangerous consequences, urging him onward to his next quest.

The piglin hybrid felt comfortable moving on, like his older brother had, towards an inexplicable future. He trusted his old man Philza to look after anyone who still stayed on the server, especially those who would no longer accept his help.

Philza stood with Steve at the gate to see him off, waving softly while his eyes burned with pride and unshed tears. The older warrior promised himself that he would make the old immortal never worry about one of his sons ever again, the only remaining to make it through the harrowing experience of DSMP mostly unscathed. His father surely trusted him, and only him, to survive despite all the world could throw at him. He would not let him down.

His fur prickled as he followed the warm breeze to warmer climates, ripping away government after government in his path onwards to an unknown ultimate prize. The governments there quickly realized he was coming, hastily setting up assassinations and armies to disway him. Yet Techno persisted, striding unceremoniously into rebellious camps who quickly accepted his tutelage to overthrow sure tyranny. It was a walk in the park after the annoyance it had been L’Manberg, that had been backed by an mask-cladded Admin until it miraculously switched to his side.And besides, even if Tubbo had been a weak president, the sting of Tommy betraying him stung like nothing else. 

The king of Antarctica wasn’t meant to get so close to the desert, but Technoblade would make the world realize otherwise. His quest lay south, and then someday he could retire to own a farm. 

In his uncomfortable state, he didn’t see it coming that he would be cowardly captured on an assuming night in a desert village near the sea. The anarchist had no time to react, huffing with outraged growls towards an unseeing assailant who didn’t react to a single hit from him as his humble lodgings wavered in his vision. Another Admin had taken interest in him, not even bothering to show its face as it continued to invisibly rain down potions of harming with impassioned precision. He continued to struggle for agonizing minutes with blood pouring out of his mouth and staining his tusks.

Technoblade’s face paled at the predicament he was in as he finally collapsed, lumbering form falling to his knees as his kidnapper removed the crown from his head like they were taking a toy from a toddler.

The piglin hybrid later woke to a cell of stark, lifeless quartz, with nothing but an orange jumpsuit to his name. Soon after, he lost himself to a haze of interrogations and treatments that turned him into something else, a creature with red eyes that eventually passed all the tests except-

He could never manage to speak, in support nor against the federation. It was the only rebellion he had left, as a duck creature handed him a clipboard and gave him his first task.

------------

Philza knew there were multiple Cucuruchos. The immortal had seen Chayanne slink back into the bunker from “night school” enough times, and glimpsed more than one of the white-furred creatures poking into the islanders’ business. Not the career path he would’ve encouraged for his adventurous egg, but the once-famed Angel of Death knew they had little choice in the matter.

Other than the times he saw Cucurucho-Chayanne, there was just one other that bothered him deep down.

One of the newer Cucuruchos was especially odd in comparison to the rest. The creature appeared when Luzu logged on with his binary code messages that oozed of sudden warnings, lumbering behind a pair of regular Cucuruchos with glinting red eyes. It towered over its cousins with muscle, wielding axes and crossbows rather than the classic gun. Tubbo, who was newer to the island but had managed to typically outmaneuver the creatures, had frozen inexplicably at the fireworks lining the crossbows it handled with ease.

Etoiles had gaped when the creature had joined the battle with an arsenal of old school vanilla weapons against three fake eggs, and carried.

“What the fuck?” Cellbit exclaimed as he examined the photo Pomme had taken of the newer creature. The detective looked like he wanted to drink vodka at its looming presence in PVP, only calming with Roier’s reassuring palm on his shoulder.

“No mames!” Roier shook his head in agreement. “This fucking sucks, man.”

“Why are there more of them?” Baghera questioned with a frown. “Why would they need one so big? Is it an intimidation tactic?”

Philza let the conversations wash over him as the order deliberated over what the new creature’s presence meant. The crow hybrid held a photograph in his hand, fingering the emerald earring it wore on its ear. It was the same exact style to his, a piece of jewelry that had been a mystery to him since his arrival to the island.

The old immortal remembered much of his past in comparison to the rest of the islanders. He was the only one to willingly volunteer, able to bargain with the foreboding federation to retain most of his memories.

Philza didn’t remember what he gave up, but he had his suspicions when his memories tried to tell him he never had any family. His heart pulsed with a heart thrumming with power his soul knew had been gifted, making him never age as long as he didn't die in combat. When he first joined the island, the man found a bag of blue dye tied together with a fancy ribbon and a note saying “calm yourself, have some blue”. None of these items had an explanation, especially the emerald earring that swung on his ear-

Until now. 

“Does he want to die?” Etoiles inserted as the group gravitated around the corpse of one of the codes, pulling Philza out of his thoughts. “I can give it the gift death if Cucurucho doesn’t want to live anymore?” 

His throat hissed automatically, eyes flashing as his mind keys in on the emerald the large creature wore somehow just right.

Multiple pairs of eyes whip over to him. “Woah there, what was that Philza?” Badboyhalo asked.

Philza blinked when he realized he had reacted instinctively to a threat against flock. He swallowed uselessly to calm himself down, angry clicks echoing up into the air instead. Unable to speak, he jerked his head towards the photograph and pointed a sharped clawed hand towards the creature.

“Oh shit guys.” Jaiden spoke up, a fellow bird hybrid. “Philza’s bird instincts think that the new Cucurucho is a part of his flock. Better not hurt the guy until we actually know he’s bad, if we don’t want the case of an angry crow hybrid on our hands.”

“If that’s the case, Maybe we shouldn’t attempt to attack or harm this Cucurucho until we know more about him.” Maximus concluded, looking at Cellbit who looked very tense but gave a reluctant nod.

The group eventually decided to only observe the new federation creature. The crow hybrid’s hackles raised when he noticed Cellbit, Etoiles, and Baghera didn’t explicitly agree to not harm it, but life soon went back to normal for a few weeks when nothing unusual happened. 

They noticed the creature had an weirdly normal and routine schedule, easily trackable in how it simply sparred in the middle of the battle dome every morning and built for the Federation in the afternoons following a checklist it regularly squinted at. Philza had to shove down the urge to hand it a pair of glasses when he occasionally approached on Cellbit's behalf to see its tasklist. It never tried to spy or speak to them, content to swing its archaic sword at practice dummies and occasionally amuse the eager Etoiles. 

“It's the best monster I’ve ever fought, Philza!” Etolies praised highly one day as they ran into each other at the front of what used to be Las Sacapuntas. “Battling with him is more interesting than anything else on the island except spending time with Pomme because she is my daughter and therefore automatically makes her the best thing to ever happen to anyone and I will kill anyone who says otherwise.” The French player grinned with teeth.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” Philza laughed genuinely at his friend's strange humor, watching the warrior leave as quickly as he came with a fond shake to his head before he teleported to his own base on top of the wall.

That evening, Philza blinked when he spotted the creature outside of schedule by Techno’s shrine, wiping the dirt from his eyes as he stood up from his potato farm.

The hulking Cucurucho looked up from his vigil, turning away from where a crown sat in display on an armor stand. The creature's eyes glinted with a dark red color that strangely made him feel calm and collected.

“Hey mate.” Philza greeted him, wiping the dirt from his hands with spider silk. “Do you know who that is?”

The creature nodded curtly, not speaking nor turning to write in a book.

“He was one of my best friends.” The crow hybrid stipulated as he approached. “A great warrior, much like yourself.” He stood next to the creature. “Mostly I just know him as Techno, and as one of the most compassionate people I ever knew." He craned his head up, gauging the creature's interest in their conversation. "You know why?”

The hulking mass cocked his head, grunting. Philza took that as encouragement to continue.

“Hypixel skyblock was terribly going through a famine before Techno made the potato war happen. You see Cucurucho, even though they're the top server and could've simply asked for help, not many people knew Hypixel actually had food shortages because the number one server doesn’t like people knowing they fucked up." He snorts. "So naturally, my friend took it upon himself to solve the food problem for them. Techno never liked people starving, my so-” He choked, panicking at the unconscious wording. “...Friend.”

The creature reaches towards Philza’s emerald earring with a strange chuff. The old man’s mind translates it reflexively to mean question, curiosity. 

“I don’t know what it is, mate.” Philza admitted. “Do you know where you got yours?” For a split second he wonders if the creature stole it, but the idea drains away as the creature shakes his head with an air of confusion.

Cucurucho took a few steps back. He looked at the shrine with an unreadable expression, but his red eyes were so expressive. 

“I know this is weird to ask, since you're a federation worker and all but… do I know you?” Philza couldn’t help himself. Why does his instincts see this Cucurucho, out of all of them wandering the server, as his son? 

Cucurucho huffed, turning away from him unceremoniously before hopping off the edge of the wall. 

Philza leaned back on his hoe in the potato farm for support, stopping himself from following with a panic similar to one of his eggs in danger. The old immortal wanted to talk to it again soon, chest winding up with longing to connect to this unknown creature. 

“Dinner’s ready!” Missa called in the distance from the house, likely serving something Chayanne cooked up for his family of four. Philza blinked back unexpected tears when he realized it was potato night, the memories of inexplicable pink fur and comforting chuffs raw against his chest, before collecting himself to have a quiet evening with his anticipating two eggs and husband.

Stan x reader S2 pt 1

Song: I'd have to think about it - Leith Ross

Warning: Swearing

Background: After Stan leaves, you move on with your life.

Status: Ongoing

Previous part

Next part

'Sarah'

After Stan left, you found yourself struggling. Bereft of support, you felt alone, except for Kyle, who was going through a similar ordeal. Kyle became your lifeline, aiding you in mending your shattered state of mind. However, true healing remained elusive. The initial week was horrible, but with Kyle faithfully by your side, the burden grew lighter.

That respite was short-lived, though. A month later, Stan stumbled upon a golden opportunity, his song was featured in a popular television show. Suddenly, his face seemed to haunt every corner, and it was utterly agonizing. Yet, Kyle did his utmost to divert your attention and alleviate your pain. However, as another month passed, you got sick and were confined to the bathroom each morning. When you confided in Kyle, he promptly arrived at your house, bearing medicine, sprite, and three pregnancy tests.

"Why? There's no way I'm…" you began, looking up at him while pulling out the tests.

"I mean, it wouldn't hurt to check, right?" he nervously replied, punctuating his statement with a hesitant laugh.

And so, there you stood, side by side with Kyle, staring down at three positive pregnancy tests. You were at a loss, uncertain about what to do. A desperate urge to call Stan and have him by your side overwhelmed you, but that wish would forever remain unfulfilled. Kyle became your unwavering support throughout this tumultuous journey.

Night after night, you wrestled with the desire to reach out to Stan, yet you couldn't muster the strength. Then, one day, while Kyle was at your house, he received a message from Kenny. As Kyle watched the video he had been sent, his face contorted with disbelief.

"Hey, what is it?" you asked, turning to him, curiosity tinged with humor.

"N-nothing," he stammered, attempting to hide his emotions.

"Come on, don't be weird. What is it?" you persisted, laughing and playfully punching his shoulder, seizing the phone from his trembling hand.

Though he tried to reclaim the device, you managed to play the video before he could intervene. It featured an interview with Stan, his bleached hair grown out, a lip piercing adorning his face, and a few tattoos etched onto his skin.

"So, you're still quite young, but can you see yourself settling down in the future?" the interviewer inquired, eliciting laughter from Stan.

"God, no. I don't think I'll ever reach a point where I'd want kids," he replied, chuckling, an answer that shattered your heart.

Tears streamed down your face, and Kyle did his best to console you. Taking his phone back from your hands, he held you close. From that moment onward, you tried to bury your feelings for Stan. As his career soared, propelling him to greater fame and journeys across the globe, you remained in South Park, completing your final year of high school.

Fortunately, you managed to graduate before any visible signs of pregnancy emerged. Upon entering college, you and Kyle ended up attending the same university. Sharing an apartment, you faced the daunting task of balancing school and parenthood. Kyle dedicated himself to supporting you, ensuring you could fulfill your educational aspirations while raising your child. It wasn't easy, and guilt gnawed at you for relying on him so heavily. Nevertheless, he staunchly refused to let you bear the burden alone.

"Kyle, you don't have to wake up with her. You have a class tomorrow," you groaned, reclaiming Sarah from his arms.

"I know, but you barely came back from your class. You know I'm better at soothing her," he responded gently, his fingers tenderly caressing Sarah's slumbering head.

"Am I making the right choices?" you questioned, placing Sarah back into her crib. "Should I have called Stan? I mean, the guy's rich now."

"Look, I won't tell you what to do. I can't tell you anything to make you feel better or worse, but I can tell you one thing… you're doing great," he assured you, his hand resting reassuringly on your shoulder, a heartfelt smile gracing his lips.

"I feel like I'm failing her," you whispered, your gaze fixed upon Sarah.

"My mom once told me that sometimes you never feel like you're doing enough, but I genuinely believe you're doing great," he said, planting a tender kiss atop your head.

In the span of a few years, you achieved your degree in liberal arts. Sarah blossomed into a four-year-old now a spinning image of Stan, and Kyle remained steadfast by your side throughout it all. He witnessed every milestone, not only in Sarah's life but also in yours. Now, adorned in your cap and gown, clutching Sarah tightly, you stood radiant beneath the sun's warm glow. Her vivid blue eyes sparkled, and her black hair was adorned with bows that Kyle had lovingly placed.

"Come on, let me take a picture!" Kyle exclaimed, seizing your phone and stepping back.

"Fine, but only one," you agreed, a smile gracing your face.

Kyle snapped the photo, capturing the triumphant moment of your greatest achievements shared with Kyle and Sarah. Later that day, as you sat down and gazed at the picture Kyle had taken, a sense of profound happiness overwhelmed you. Without a second thought, you shared the snapshot on your Instagram, before peacefully retiring for the night.

Stan however was in the studio listening to his new song. He spun in his chair completely uninterested. He pulled out his phone and scrolled through Instagram much to his manager's dismay.

"Come on Marsh you gotta focus." He said with a groan.

"It sounds fine what else do you want me to d...." Stan started before stumbling upon your post. You looked amazing like you did the day he had left but his eyes stayed on the little girl in your arms.

A/N: Hope you guys liked it. Yes, I did change the whole plot of season two so I'm so sorry if you preferred the other version over this. I just feel this is better for me creatively and I hope you stay to read. As always I love you all thanks for reading. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

South Park Song Tournament

Faith + 1 Album Medley - Christian Rock Hard (S7 E9)

Unfulfilled - Unfulfilled (S22 E9)

[southpark-trashfactory]

Something I think that is just really fun when interacting with South Park in a transformative way (like writing fanfic, fanart, character analysis, etc.) Is that there's a lot of consistent things to work with in Canon in terms of character personalities and the like, which leads to a lot of fanworks being very character driven.

But since the show itself is more centered on comedy and satire, it leads to a lot of conflicting Canon, that depending on the viewer will hold different degrees of weight when coming up with fanworks.

For instance, in the episodes "Unfulfilled" and "Bike Parade", the Stotches are shown to be struggling financially, and Stephen is working at Amazon.

Now, there are aspects about these episodes that I like, like I think how Stephen earnestly just wanting to help his son have a bike for the parade is very cute, but I can't personally bring myself to put a lot of weight on the other bits of Canon the episodes present because I find the idea that the Stotches would be financially struggling at all to conflict with other instances before and after these episodes.

Like, even ignoring Stephen and Linda being on/off shown to be office workers, they also have an active membership to a resort in Hawaii, and could afford to pay for Butters tap lessons, and dressage lessons (plus therapy related to the tap incident)

Given all this information I personally in my own works, usually think of the Stotches as being at the very least financially very stable.

But like, the point I'm trying to make is, I think it's cool that someone could possibly feel the opposite and play heavily into the idea of the stotches having financial trouble, and it wouldn't necessarily be wrong/going against Canon? It would just be a different interpretation based on the conflicting Canon, and I think that's really fun?

Basically I think the way the show is, there's a lot of room for creativity and different interpretations, and it's really fun seeing how different people put emphasis on different aspects of the shows honestly very loose Canon.

Why Does Santa Claus Live At The North Pole? Blame A Crackpot Cincinnatian!

Have you ever wondered why Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, of all places? The answer might reside in a small urban park that was once a graveyard in Hamilton, Ohio. You will find there the Hollow Earth Monument, perhaps the most unusual tombstone ever raised in the United States. It is certainly among the very few memorials erected to celebrate an amazingly crackpot geographical theory.

Hamilton’s Hollow Earth Monument marks the gravesite of Captain John Cleves Symmes. He believed that the earth was hollow and that we could gain entrance to the interior of our planet through huge holes that pierced the North and South Pole. Symmes believed the climate at the poles was balmy and temperate, once travelers got beyond a protective ring of ice and snow – an ideal hiding place for Santa Claus.

Symmes announced his Hollow Earth theory in 1818 through a widely distributed circular. His theory inspired a generation of explorers to attempt (and uniformly fail) to find a route to the North Pole. All this expeditionary activity, plus Clement Moore’s decision to have Santa Claus’ flying sleigh drawn by reindeer, an Arctic animal, certainly inspired artist Thomas Nast to place Santa Claus at the North Pole in a cartoon published 29 December 1866 in Harper's Weekly magazine. Harper’s was a widely circulated and hugely influential publication at the time.

If Symmes’ name sounds familiar it’s because he is the nephew and namesake of the same John Cleves Symmes who helped create Cincinnati. The younger Symmes earned fame as a hero during the War of 1812, and spent the rest of his life, and his reputation, propounding his crackpot theory.

Symmes developed his Hollow Earth theory while living in Newport, Kentucky and sent pamphlets to every potential donor in the United States and Europe. He hoped to gather enough money to mount an expedition to the North Pole. United States President John Quincy Adams was reportedly on the verge of awarding federal funding to the Symmes expedition when he was voted out of office. Symmes died with his vision unfulfilled.

Symmes’ son, Americus Vespucci Symmes, took up the torch and published a book to popularize his late father’s Hollow Earth ideas. Americus claimed an 1871 expedition led by Cincinnatian Charles Francis Hall had verified his father’s theories, even though that voyage was turned back far short of the North Pole. Another Cincinnatian, John Uri Lloyd, was inspired to write an early fantasy novel titled Editorhpa (that’s “Aphrodite” spelled backwards) based in part on the Hollow Earth theory. Symmes’ theory also inspired Jules Verne to compose his novel, “A Journey To The Center Of The Earth.”

Alas, Americus, too, died before anyone travelled far enough north, or south, to prove or disprove John Cleves Symmes’ theory. Americus erected the Hollow Earth Monument over his father’s grave in 1840, and it has attracted curious visitors ever since.

Anyway, to more ACCURATELY respond to anon's question (I think?), yes, I was in the closet for a while specifically when I was in CT. I also thought I was bi for a while, but that was less "lying to other people" and more "making excuses to avoid dealing with the emotional weight of being completely unfulfilled by any relationship with a man". Just in case people are tired of canceling me for watching South Park and want to cancel me for being biphobic or something for a few years in my 20s lol.

Mountains for Adventure: The Ultimate Guide to Thrilling Escapes!

There’s something about the mountains that calls to every adventurer. As a traveler who loves both serenity and adrenaline, I often find myself drawn to the peaks. I’ve visited various mountains worldwide, and each trip has offered a unique experience. If you’re looking for a mix of adventure and natural beauty, let me share some of my favorite mountains for adventure and what makes them perfect for your next thrill-seeking journey.

Problem: Too Many Mountains, Too Little Time

The world is blessed with numerous mountain ranges, each with its distinct allure. From the snow-capped Himalayas to the rocky terrains of the Andes, choosing where to go can be overwhelming. I remember feeling paralyzed by the options when I first started planning my mountain adventures. I wanted a place that offered more than just stunning views. I wanted action—hiking, rock climbing, and maybe even a bit of skiing. But which mountains offer the best mix of adventure?

Agitation: The Fear of a Boring Adventure

I’ve had my fair share of disappointing trips. I once spent a week in a range that promised a lot but delivered little in terms of adventure. The trails were crowded, the activities were limited, and I left feeling unfulfilled. There’s nothing worse than wasting your time and money on a destination that doesn’t meet your expectations, especially when you’re an adventure seeker. I knew I had to find mountains that genuinely cater to thrill-seekers like me.

Solution: Three Must-Visit Mountains for Adventure

After years of exploring and learning from my mistakes, I’ve found three mountains that never disappoint when it comes to adventure. Whether you’re into hiking, climbing, or snow sports, these mountains have it all.

1. The Rockies, USA and Canada:

The Rockies are a dream for any adventurer. Spanning over 3,000 miles from Canada to the southwestern United States, this mountain range offers countless opportunities for outdoor activities. I’ve hiked the rugged trails in Banff National Park, Canada, and skied down the slopes in Colorado. What’s great about the Rockies is the variety. You can go from kayaking in glacial lakes to whitewater rafting in the rivers. If you’re looking for a well-rounded adventure, this range has everything. And with over 20 national parks, there’s always something new to explore.

2. The Alps, Europe:

The Alps might be famous for their winter sports, but there’s more to them than just skiing. I’ve trekked through the French Alps and climbed the Dolomites in Italy. The Via Ferrata routes in the Dolomites are some of the most exciting climbing experiences I’ve ever had. The trails are challenging, but the views are worth every step. Plus, the Alps offer excellent mountain biking trails if you prefer cycling. With so many activities packed into one range, the Alps are ideal for year-round adventure.

3. The Andes, South America:

Stretching along the western edge of South America, the Andes are the longest continental mountain range in the world. I’ve had the chance to hike to the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu and snowboard down the slopes in Chile. The Andes offer a unique blend of history and adventure. The altitudes can be challenging, with peaks like Aconcagua reaching nearly 7,000 meters, but that’s part of the appeal. For thrill-seekers, the Andes are a must-visit.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Mountains for Adventure

When it comes to adventure, not all mountains are created equal. If you’re like me and crave both natural beauty and adrenaline-pumping activities, then the Rockies, the Alps, and the Andes should be on your bucket list. Each range offers something unique, whether it’s hiking, climbing, or skiing. Next time you’re planning an adventure, consider these mountains for an unforgettable experience. From the Rockies to the Andes, these are the top mountains for adventure that every traveler should explore.

new south park special was kind of lameass. i enjoyed it for the most part but the ending was so unfulfilling. why would they wrap everything up in the LAST SEVEN MINUTES?? all of that buildup and then the shortest ending in the world. like genuinely i expected it to be a two-part thing because of how quick the ending was

[tensecondstomidnight]

welcome to Unfulfilled Dayyyy, everyone! i'm really excited to get into this- by virtue of the remade chapters, there was already gonna be a lot of new content for me to see on this reread, but now i've got even more!

and i've already got stuff to talk about!

for being an "obsolete chapter," unfulfilled day actually does something simple pleasures doesn't! look, they're already hinting at mike's secret and it's only panel 3! i see why they replaced this chapter though, this is a weird beginning to a comic. simple pleasures is definitely a better beginning!

they just said she's five years old before this panel btw. both of you gotta CHILL OUT!!! you cant hit little kids, mike! and cmon yashy you're too young for south park you gotta relax with that

anyways, mike is thirsting over lucy from afar, wishing they could be together and all that, and after introducing blur (also pretty effectively) someone new shows up!

it's katie! before daisy. paulo, or even david! what's she doing here!

we do get david afterwards, though. timely reference, mike. david goes on to try and gaslight mike into being into dogs, transparently so that he can "get with" lucy. he uses a lotta raunchy language! relax man!! lucy's supposed to be your friend!

even just these panels are pretty extensive. lay off, man! also, this is making me wish they did more weird cartoon nonsense in these early chapters. have we see the ayu beam already? i might've neglected to post it. oh well, we'll find out!

I will NEVER not laugh at the way South Park depicts Jeff Bezos

Creepy. Evil. Never actually speaks, just telepathically communicates with everyone.

Back of his head looking like the flat asscheeks of a white man.

It's just so good
