plankton’s guilty expression here has always struck me. he’s betrayed spongebob’s trust before and he knows he’ll likely do it again, and yet spongebob still cares enough about him to make a special valentine just for him. it conjures an image of him hunched over a desk with an x-acto knife and a magnifying glass, possibly with several failed attempts in the bin, all so plankton, a man who has and will continue to leverage his trust to his own selfish ends, can have something nice on a holiday that likely holds no special meaning to him. but spongebob will continue to love plankton because spongebob loves everybody, no matter how they have wronged him. in this way he is like jesus christ
