ribs/stan (south park)

Song: Ribs - Lorde.
Hiii so this is a bit of an embarrassing confession but as I was rewatching this show cause of quarantine and I came across this episode again, I actually cried? Like...hard?? Like for a good hour??? I legit bawled my eyeballs out when I saw this episode again because it legit just hit too close to home lol.
If you’re unaware of what happened, this is legit one of the saddest but also one of the best sp episodes ever but it took me years to actually understand its message. It tackles the concept of childhood depression and I honestly have to give them credit because not many tv shows ever even think of tackling such a concept, but handling in its own sp way ofc. If I’m being honest with you, I never liked this episode as a kid because I didn’t get the underlying themes and just didn’t find all the shit jokes that funny, but holy shit, as an adult I’m just like :,((( lol
I know this isn’t for everyone but I just really appreciate Matt and Trey for tackling such a heavy topic and using comedy as a coping mechanism and metaphor for it. Even though it’s literally about a kid seeing everything as shit, but still! The message still holds true! Kinda makes me wish I appreciated the episode as a kid (especially since I was Stan’s age at the time I went through something similar too oof) but again, I really didn’t get it then and I only really watched the show cause of the edgy humor, not for its deeper themes.
Anyway, idk really what else to say except ik it’s kinda weird to use a Lorde song for an edit about Stan, since Lorde is literally his dad in the show (Ik it’s weird lmfao) I’m anticipating the “I am Lorde, ya ya ya” comments HAHAHA

It’s funny cause Stan was prolly my least fave out of the main 4 just because I really didn’t have a lot to say about his character...until I watched this episode again
