Something I Find Interesting About The Buddha Box Episode Is The Few Tweek And Craig Moments That Are

something i find interesting about the buddha box episode is the few tweek and craig moments that are shown in it. but ive seen so many tiktoks and fanfics that people made about these scenes where they really mischaracterize both of them and miss the point of the episode entirely.

in the scene where cartman is telling craig about the box, craig says this line:

“well, i have to admit, sometimes when me and tweek are together, it’s like he wants my atte-“

And then cartman cuts him off by putting the box back on. that was when craig got the idea to get a box for himself. now obviously craig shouldn’t be taking any kind of advice from cartman of all people, but he went along with it anyways so he could get away from his own issues.

now, this is where people mischaracterize craig by a lot. the point that the writers were trying to show is that craig also has anxiety. yes, he’s in a relationship with tweek, but he’s still his own person who has his own issues to deal with. his entire existence is does not revolve around dating tweek. but whenever i see people making creek angst with the buddha box episode, they characterize craig as someone who is being purposely malicious, and ignoring tweek because he hates him or something along those lines.

but as we can see in moments like the episode “put it down,” he does try his best. something that south park fans seem to forget is that a lot of the characters, including tweek and craig, are 4th graders. and little kids often times aren’t the best at communicating their feelings or what they need. in “put it down” the main plot is that tweek and craig are struggling with communication. tweek is having extreme anxiety from tweets that the president made, and instead of trying to just be there and comfort him, craigs approach is to be more logical. obviously, that wasn’t what tweek needed, but we can still see that craig does try his best to be there and help his boyfriend.

and in the fractured but whole game, we can also see that craigs kryptonite is communication.

he oftentimes is very blunt and logical, and isn’t good at communicating about his and other people’s feelings.

so, when cartman was telling him about the buddha box, craig didn’t see it as something malicious. he saw it was a way to try and forget about his own anxiety. was it a good idea? of course it wasn’t, but he’s often mischaracterized by a lot of fans for a mistake that he made in the relationship.

This is different than the posts I usually make, but this is important. I haven’t posted in a while, and I know, but this needs to be said.

I walked into school today not knowing if I was going to live. I walked into school, and there was a kid with a weapon, targeting me. They found a note in his bag with my name on it and the name of one of my classmates. The reason why? I didn’t let him into a classroom during break after he called me slurs. Apparently, he has a history of harming people.

I’m terrified of going to school. I have been since we came back from COVID. And you want to know the real kicker? When I told the counsellor, my parents, my grandparents, they all told me to ‘get over it’ and ‘bad things happen’ and ‘I’m fine’. I feel crazy for thinking this is a big deal. I have to go to school tomorrow. He’ll be there tomorrow.

Please boost this. There’s something wrong with this world.
