i can see kyle trying to ‘save’ cartmans girlfriends becoming a pattern when they get older and kyle convincing himself he likes them but when he dates them when theyre rebounding from cartman he feels like they have nothing in common anymore
or the only thing they talk about is how much they hate cartman and eventually the girl is like ok can we talk about something else now and kyle is like wow the spark in this relationship is really fading
im obsessed w the idea of kyle being totally in cartmans orbit and not even noticing that everything he does is based on cartman until stan calls him out on it
of course cartman is obsessed w kyle as well but hes done some soul searching (therapy) and recognizes his feelings are romantic and is convinced kyle hates him and would never return them so he tries to put distance between him and kyle to protect himself uhh angst much? 🤷♀️
like i get that they made kyle/heidi canon but kyle seems so confused in that ep where all the girls tell him he has a crush on heidi and i get why, like he barely knew who heidi was before she started dating cartman? he def didnt actually like her and only fell for her cause he could ‘save’ her from cartman he has such a messiah complex
at least cartman knows he’s obsessed with kyle and wants him around even if he wont admit it to others (see: smug alert) but i feel like kyle is just as obsessed with cartman but doesnt know it. he likes how cartman will always do something evil so kyle can play the heroic opposing force. i love how kyle tells cartman that he should be upset over how the danish are leaking everyones internet historys in this clip:
hes like, ‘get with it, dude. youre supposed to be a self-serving asshole, stop doing all this cute shit with your girlfriend’. he is the epitome of jealous boyfriend esp in their exchange at the beginning with kyle being like ‘she wasnt funny’. i feel like they couldve made kyle/heidi so much better i wouldve been here for a kyle/heidi/cartman love triangle but they sunk them after one half assed ep…
(also in that clip did cartman legit just go to kyles house to tell him he shouldve called heidi funny… so desperate for some face time w him smh)
Kyle’s nose is the same shape as before, just has a different head on look because I never really knew how to draw that nose shape when looking at it head on.
But if you’re comparing this
to this
then yeah, that’s gonna happen. It’s been 4 years. If you’re overly obsessed with consistency you kind of force yourself to stagnate. It’s not so different that you don’t recognize the boys.
Aside from Kenny’s height and hair and Cartman’s jaw, they’re fundamentally the same. I just made their facial features more distinct.
