i am slowly turning into a kyman shipper (Please help me)

Ok so I've been watching South Park for like a month now and I'm trying really hard to not ship Kyman but it's not working. Their trope is hilarious and so are their interactions. Their friendship is so odd too, because they care about each other but they also don't. They're the most interesting ship in South Park and the fanarts aren't helping me get over them. I know there are so many other ships to choose from like Kyle/Cartman x Heidi (which is also cute) and Style (which I can't bring myself to like), but Kyman's entire relationship is unmatched, dude. They have so many moments together:

When they were mistaken as lovers publically?? Cartman didn't even look bothered by the mistake. What about Kyle trying so hard to save Cartman when they were trapped in that one cave? And when Cartman told Nichole that he and Kyle were dating?? When Kyle held Cartman's hand to drag him around and encouraged him that he has a chance to no longer be morbidly obese?? And also when Cartman called Kyle his little monster?? And when he said he's snuck into Kyle's house too many times?? Cartman clearly has some sort of obsession with Kyle but is also shown to actually care for him like when he saved Kyle and his family from the Smugstorm (Which was so cute how he didnt want Kyle to know and made it seem like he wanted him gone??), and Kyle cares about him too-- like when he defended Cartman from being assaulted by that Snookie thing, and him being the only one in the friend group crying after forcing Cartman to quit Twitter. They have a few moments together, but the moments are enough to use as crumbs for the ship and make content out of it-- like the SP Future fancomic. Their dynamic is hilarious and I get super happy when I see them together in an episode. There are so many references to their relationship that theyre basically cannon, but are used only for comedic purposes. 

I mean, come on, just look at them:





(Sorry I had to add this iconic photo)


Like I said earlier, their relationship is very odd. Cartman is jealous of Kyle because he has a normal family with a father and he is also able to use empathy and care for other people. Deep inside Eric wants to be more like Kyle, that's why he needs him in his life. But his insecurities trigger his defense mechanism against someone who is superior and is therefore considered a threat. That's why he treats him like garbage. 

On the other hand Kyle sees Cartman as someone he has to save. He is the ultimate challenge for his hero complex. That's why eventhough he expresses his resentment, he never really abandons Eric, like how I said earlier, when he saved them in the cave. In the end these two really need each other. Eric would be a total ass without Kyle, and Kyle would be a super entitled geek without Eric.

Anyways, I don't even like South Park ships dude, but they're rotting my brain, so I had to let it out somewhere.
