They’re kind. Not kind in the sort of blanket way that actually meant polite, but truly kind. They brighten a room whenever they enter it, making things seem more cheerful with just their presence. There’s an endearing excitement shown in every misspelt word they type or every incoherent ask they send. They are, in every essence of the word, light.

Here’s the original post. OP, if you don’t have the guts to just delete the post instead of editing it, delete your fucking account.

@nonbinaryboyd
Constantly thinking about how some old episodes of Spongebob are so vividly remembered by the masses because of how strongly they would resonate. Like it was so fucking good at capturing extremely specific emotions.
The episode where Spongebob attempts to write his essay. You feel what he’s feelings so deep in your gut that it’s like you’re procrastinating alongside him. He’s anxious. You’re anxious. Oh god the clock that kept telling you and Spongebob what time it was…
The one where he’s stranded in rock bottom? It’s such a silly exaggeration of a creepy place but like. You’ve been there. You’ve been in a weird area at night that gives off the vibe that your surroundings hate you on a personal level. You feel the isolation he’s feeling, you’re as stressed out as he is. He’s not safe. You’re not safe. And then a huge relief that washes over you when he gets out of that situation because you are also out of that situation.
I have never seen a “lost pet” episode of a cartoon that captures the hopeless grief so well as the episode where Gary runs away and Spongebob is absolutely devastated. I remember being a kid and my dog got lost and scenes from that episode kept playing in my head because it was exactly how it felt.
Does anybody know what I’m trying to say here it’s very hard to articulate
That in its over-the-top presentation, Spongebob managed to touch on universal sensations that can resonate with people years later?
I would argue that it's half over-the-top presentation, and half a merit of the show's setting. Spongebob, like a lot of 90's Nick shows, largely showcased characters living regular city/suburb life and a lot of subject matter played into that.
Additionally, a particularly genius aspect of Spongebob is just how ambiguous his age is. He's old enough to have a job and drive a car, so he can have storylines older viewers can relate to, but in failing to actually learn how to drive, the show has excuses to do school-setting episodes and other free-time episodes that younger viewers can also latch onto easily (also worth noting that in the movie, he's also constantly referred to as a kid and overlooked for this)
Spongebob, as a show and as a character, was really well designed in capturing the widest possible audience. It's a case of fantastic concept, and, as mentioned above, fantastic execution.
me completely by myself in my room: alright everybody just calm down
u ever have on mutuals whos so deep in another fandom that u know absolutely zero about and they make posts that look like they speaking another language or some shit

Can white Hindus wear saris?
Yes.
no
YES. For the love of Jesus stop white knighting.
From a historical website about the history of Saris, from a person WHO MAKES THEM FOR A LIVING
“Visitors seduced by the vibrancy and mythology of saris can shop for one to take home. Unlike other traditional garments in some cultures, the sari isn’t reserved for people of one nationality or set of beliefs. “I don’t think it’s disrespectful for Westerners to wear a sari,” says Chishti. “It’s more of an honor.” There is nothing wrong with sewing a dazzling one into a skirt or displaying it like art on a wall, says Sethi.“
Website 2 - a website dedicated to asking “is wearing them disrepectful?”
Is it disrespectful to wear a sari? No, not at all. Based on any occasion, as a daily wear, when you are not Indian and irrespective of religion, it is never disrespectful to wear a sari. In fact, it enhances the situation particularly if you are attending an Indian wedding. In cases where a theme is already set and hosts do expect certain culture, check with hosts before wearing.
Website 3 - Google’s Arts and Culture website, dedicate to educating people about different things around the globe concerning art and culture
5. The sari is easy to wear – and can be worn by anyone Wearing a sari is more akin to making a sandwich or sending an email than making a soufflé or launching a rocket. It has the appearance and reputation of being difficult to wear, but ask any one of the millions of women who wear one every day – it’s not. The sari transcends socio-economic divisions and is seen as an egalitarian garment...It can’t speak on behalf of all India but 95% of our survey suggested that {people from India} are open to anyone wearing saris.
(sari vs saree for reference sake is just a matter of preference for spelling).
Literally the only people fake outraged by this (I call it fake outrage because people only get “mad” about it when they see people online but totally forget aobut it in everyday life otherwise) are white girls on twitter, tumblr, and other social medias believing they are “coming in and saving the day on behalf of people from India”. STOP THE WHITE KNIGHTING.
For starters, Saris have over 100 different ways to wear them. To buy them traditionally tends to be very rare and expensive because of how hard it is to make these garments. Second, they’re becoming more common in areas close to India, like Sri Lanka.
Also, also, according to Hinduism reincarnation beliefs, we have the ability to reincarnate into any person on this Earth, so any skin color. Some people wear them to show their pride in Hinduism. Some wear it to honor India ancestors. Some wear it just because it is a beautiful piece of fabric.
Like anything, wear it with respect. Wear it with pride.
Reminding people again that you cannot steal what is freely given. It's not appropriation if someone within the culture is like "here ya go, try this!". I get that wearing stuff like a sari feels like you're an impostor but the way to deal with that is to just do the thing that makes you uncomfortable.
I used to live in a city with a large Desi population, and loved going into the local shops to see the gorgeous clothing (and to buy silk fabric and ready-made trim!). I showed interest in a lehenga choli set and the ladies working there were. Thrilled. I ended up spending well over an hour trying on different ones because they were just bringing them over one after another, narrowing down the style and colors that would be flattering on me, showing me how to wear it properly.
I wore the one I chose to a convention, and encountered an Indian woman running a henna booth and selling some jewelry. At first I felt kind of embarrassed, like an imposter. (Should I (Latinx) be wearing this?) But she was also thrilled to see someone wearing clothing from her culture, and just... gave me a maang tikka, because it went so well with the outfit. (I ended up purchasing the necklace that went with it, so maybe it was a shrewd business move, ahaha)
It’s the same with kimono, people from Japan are so excited to see an American properly wearing one, even ‘just’ a yukata.
Appropriation is stealing cultural designs and motifs for your mass-produced fast fashion, taking money away from their artisans and devaluing their product. Appropriation is trying to divorce clothing from its cultural roots.
So long as it is common clothing (not sacred or having a special meaning), and as long as it is worn with respect (preferably sourced directly from the culture it comes from), we should be enjoying the beauty of other cultures by wearing it on our bodies. Sharing is not appropriation!
It’s important to recognize problematic appropriation but that does not mean we need to segregate every aspect of culture into neat racial categories
