this fic was my entry for creek freak bingo! (rated E | oneshot | 4.6k)

Thank you, phantom 🤗💕

Baby. Baby boy.

I love Tweek. They didn't need to make him that cute but they did. He's never done anything wrong in his life. His crimes are all justified and I support him unconditionally.

He definitely has more screen time now but I want him back in the classroom. I need to see those few spikes of hair to feel anything at all. Please, Matt and Trey. This is all I have 😭

Ok ok so fr Tweek is very important to me. I've been reading South Park fanfic since 2008 and he’s always been my main guy. I definitely think he was done dirty by fans back in the day but there are so many varied Tweeks nowadays, there’s really nothing to complain about imo. You can write your own Tweek and no one will think it’s weird if he’s tall or tops or would cut a bitch. That’s neat-o! It was really wonderful to return to after over a decade’s absence from the fandom.

6. Favorite title you used

I hate all my children equally 🤗

While I don't particularly like any of them as titles, I have a special fondness for "other people" just by virtue of having gotten the idea from the Maren Ade film Alle Anderen (Everyone Else auf Englisch), which is one of my faves, though the title more directly references Sartre's No Exit (the well-known line "hell is other people"). It was initially called "drei" in my docs. Because there are three of them :3

17. Your favorite character to write this year?

Craig. I was looking back at older writing I never posted and Tweek's voice has developed a lot but Craig is someone I've gotten a lot more comfortable writing. He really feels like a whole different person in my earlier writing. "dark entries" was kind of a fluke in that sense, a happy mistake. Craig was a little too earnest and overwrought in his internal monologues earlier on

18. The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

Uhhhh okay so fandom don’t kill me for this but uhhh cre/ek.

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?

Hmmmm i don’t think so? I mean i’m a bit quirky since i’m alterous. soooo. i’ll drop a fav alterous couple instead. hmmm. alterous stendy perhaps? i wish them well.

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

Nope!! in fact the opposite happened to Cartman. I used to avoid him like the plague. he’s become a rlly therapeutic character to love in fandom since then.

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

YES. GARY HARRISON MY BELOVED. And as to why. hmmmm. I love his charm, the way that all his responses make it hard not to love him even when people are hating on him. He’s smart to a boot and has such a good bond with his family. I love the crisis he gives Stan and more than that I love how he’s not afraid to call someone out when the time comes to it. Stan is so clearly in the wrong for being so upset but also it’s because his thought process is just twisted. I also just rlly love the message of that episode. Which is unrelated to why I love him technically but the whole “My religion might be flawed but it’s allowed me a structure that’s helped me and my family become better people and it’s important to me. We shouldn’t be damned for our religion when we aren’t the people acting damning” type stuff. it’s beloved.
