Realise I never actually posted my 3 Sally Face OCs, Ryan, Eric, and Jeremy

They're all apart of Trav's little mob from my aforementioned AU.

Ryan's a big nerd and an anxious crybaby with a lot of useless knowledge on a variety of things, so he's the group's pseudo-"fix it" guy. If you have an oddly specific problem, chances are he knows how to assist.

Erin is basically the would-be product of Professor Genki and Pinkie Pie on steroids. She's a lowkey annoying gremlin transgirl who loves murder and mayhem and she'll never hesitate to yeet a bitch. Lowkey Trav's righthand because of this mentality.

Jeremy is a very salty 42yo veteran and ex-cop who becomes Travis' unofficial "dad" of sorts. He lost his kid years ago due to an accident and Trav needs an actual loving parent, so they both fill a void in each other (even though Trav constantly denies the fact that he cares)

I plan to make some reference sheets of everybody at some point (Sal, Trav, and the rest of what I like to call the mcsaltn't gang as well, and even Kenneth's furry ass, so I'll lore dump more about them then for anyone that gives a shit 💀)

In like 2017-2018, I made a South Park Discord server named Even Souther Park, which has been defunct and deleted for years atp, but I and 2 of the og ESP members made a sort of "successor" server named Crab People. I figured I'd post the new link in case anyone cared to join 😭 Maybe I'll see some of the old ESP veterans again, there's a special role for you!

My finished piece for the gravity falls zine since we’re allowed to post now!

@theabsolutecactus FURRY DOODLES

What’s up late night folks? Here’s an eerie shot I took down a pitch black road in the middle of the night

[theabsolutecactus]

actually I've been thinking about it and kenny is so disability-coded???

like, even without my chronic pain headcanon, if we only take the canon material, he's incredibly disability-coded and im not sure why nobody's mentioned it before

Ok so, first thing first, south park isn't exactly known out of its community for having the best rep of... anything, actually, but anyone who's watched the show knows it has some of the best disability representation of any piece of media. Jimmy and Timmy, neither of their characters revolve around being disabled - they don't even make much fun of it! (It's south park, they have to make fun of everything). Their characters are complex, not because they're disabled, but because the writers didn't want to make them revolve around that. And if you don't believe me, please just watch the fucking show or at least their episodes (this is however not about them so I won't say much more about them, there's some pretty cool posts on this site that talk about this in more detail if you wanna read more though)

Now, onto Kenny: Kenny is a pretty cool guy. Fandom favorite, well-known even by people who don't watch south park. And besides how he's incredibly cute (like, c'mon, you heard his little "woohoo!"?), the reason why he's so famous is simple: He dies in every episode.

(well, not every ep in the latest seasons, but at the beginning he did and that's enough for me)

You might be thinking, "hey Loki, that's cool, but I have no fucking idea where this is going". And I'll tell you: his constant deaths actively avoid him doing stuff. Dying makes him spend less time with his friends, he can't take part in their shenanigans, he's generally unable to do things due to dying 24/7. Like, hell, he spent a whole season not hanging out with the guys because he was too dead for that! His friends substituted him, and he's still less-there since that happened.

This means: the impairment 'has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities'

(because he can't carry out normal day-to-day activities when he's, you know, fucking deceased)

Also, as Kenny himself says, "'Pretty cool'? Do you know how it feels like to be stabbed, to be shot, decapitated, torn apart, burned, run over? It's not 'pretty cool' Kyle! It fucking hurts!". His deaths cause him actual, physical pain. And guess what's a disability criteria?

You guessed: they have a 'physical or mental impairment'

(it "fucking hurts", I think that's physically impairing enough)

Also, his deaths have slowed down for the last few seasons, sure, but they still happen. And this is important, because they'll probably keep happening for the rest of his life - and if not, they've already lasted long enough anyway:

A 'substantial adverse effect' means more than just a minor impact on someone's life or how they can do certain things. This may fluctuate or change and may not happen all the time.'Long-term' means either:it will affect them or is likely to affect them for at least 12 months it's likely to last for the rest of their life It can still be considered long-term if the effects come and go. For example, a fluctuating condition might affect someone for a few months at a time with other times when they're not affected.

So, yeah. Kenny, canonical Kenneth McCormick, legally qualifies as disabled. But what makes him such good rep? He's still a well-loved character, not only in spite of his disability (yes, I'm calling his deaths a disability, sue me), but also because of it. Kenny is a pretty cool guy, he's cute, he's silly, he's a goddamn perv but really respectful about it too, and he dies in every episode which is actually hilarious. And about the perv part - fuck yeah, disabled character who not only isn't asexual, but is canonically the first in his friend group to do (consensual) sexual things! He's also canonically pretty desirable, he's the 7th in the List after all (and he's not just there for the girls' benefit like Clyde, Kenny is poor asf which means they genuinely find him desirable, and probably could've ended in the top 5 had it not been rigged). He's such a cool guy, and he's also disabled, and we love him for it.

Not to talk about Mysterion & PK, whose literal powers are the things that disable Typical Kenny - which, yeah, it's a bit of inspiration porn, but it's also a huge "fuck you" to god on Kenny's side. And it's not like "hey, I rose over my disability!", the moment in which Kenny talks (complains) most about it is actually when he's playing Mysterion - or it is in the show, at least. He was given bullshit, and yet he used it on his own benefit, but that didn't make the struggle disappear in his usual life - he's still disabled, no matter how much he uses it in his own favor. And we all love him for that.

I think he's actually awesome disability rep, mostly because he's accidental representation, and yet can (and in my opinion should) be read that way. Kenny McCormick is a beloved character everywhere, and he's also canonically disabled, and I love him for it.

Some doodles from my main au where Trav's just a feral, unhinged, and unkempt rebel bastard. There's a lot of lore I can't be bothered to explain right now. All you need to know is he's a pseudo mob boss infected by the red-eyed demon. Sal being blond is also part of the lore (it's dyed)

I also have a headcanon that Travis developed a workout routine to help manage his anger so naturally Sal likes sitting/laying on him whenever he does push-ups

Also also headcanon that Trav loves creepy crawlies so that's his son Tom the centipede

[theabsolutecactus]

I did this like a month ago and it's shit but have it anyway 💀

Enjoy my unhinged Kenneth design—why draw a man in a mask when I can draw a furry

Also I am aware that Steve said he's blond but that sign can't stop me bc i can't read. I was big brain making him look like the dog in Sal's nightmare and I've had this design since like 2020. I'm too stubborn to change it and I'll accept blond Kenny when I'm dead

[theabsolutecactus]

I like the idea of Kenneth forcing Travis to play a sport to "stop him from being gay" and he gets to play baseball bc funny The Front Bottoms jokes

He's the best player on the team and the only reason they win any games but he hates it with a burning passion, and he wins solely by his rage and disdain for it because the faster they win, the faster he gets to go home. He carries the entire team and he'd actually rather die than play, and they're doomd when he graduates

Naturally, Sal is a gremlin and steals all his gear

[theabsolutecactus]

Wow, I haven't been here since like 2017 I kinda wanna try to start uploading again so uhh........... have some salvis bc I've been trapped in Sally Face hell since like 2019 and they've consumed my every waking moment ever since
