So I finally got to You’re Getting Old and Ass Burgers

And oh boy talk about an emotional downer ride! I wish I could write an analysis about these eps, but I feel like I am not that obsessed or know well enough about Style to actually write one, and it always got to me how Kyle could not supoort Stan.

At the same time though, I can completley understand him because when you’re with a person who is negative all the time and just finds the negativity in everything. Well, it really is hard for one’s own emotional and mental well being. Kyle said it himself, being around Stan was like a black hole, and from personal experience, he’s not exactly wrong.

I don’t want to go into detail, but I had met someone who was negative about everything, they were also creepy in other ways, but that’s another story, and again, speaking with people like that is hard. Like I don’t want to downplay how they see and feel stuff, not at all, especially if the person is clinically suffering from depression or some other mental illness.

It’s hard to explain. Again, I can see why Kyle thought it was best to let Stan go. I don’t think it’s cause he didn’t care, or being selfish, he has to take care of himself too. He tried hanging out with Stan, idk if necessarily helping him, but there was just so much he could do. It’s also important for Stan to make an effort, though with depression and the like, it is super hard..

Ahhh, I don’t know. It’s just such a complex and difficult situation to be in.

I really wish Kyle could have tried helping Stan more, u know. Like Kyle, honey, are you seriously trading Stan for Cartman of all people.

Oh, and furthermore, it’s not like Kyle wasn’t upset about letting Stan go. He went to see him at the lake though he didn’t actually approach Stan. Maybe Kyle just threw himself into the whole hamburger business to not think about losing his super best friend and hoped Stan would eventually be okay. Again from personal experience, I think one does eventually realize that no matter how painful it is, sometimes, you really just have to let people go. Your bond with them might not be the same, but it could still be there, u know. Especially the memories of fun times. Things really do change. For better or worse, but I mean there’s always a chance for something better eventually. At least having hope for it.

And who knows, it’s not like they couldn’t one day rekindle their friendship. They’re so young and have much to learn and experience after all!

Well, it’s hard to organize my thoughts, cause these eps screwed with my emotions. I know people say, Stan and Kyle’s friendship is not the same after this, and while that scares and pains me to no end, I will wait to see for myself! Maybe, I will see things differently, I really am hoping to cause STYLE DAMMIT!! lol. And if I do, I’ll see if I write something to see how Stan and Kyle have drifted or not; just their overall dynamic now. Oh, and also just how much of an alcoholic Stan may or may not be!

Wish me luck as I dive more into South Park and especially Style!
