the shot of Clark standing by the replica of his oversized throne in the backrooms, then crawling through the tiny door and coming out the other side

the shot of him at the dinner table with Mary on the other end and a mad hatter down the hall…

both parallels to Alice in wonderland

There is also mentions of going “through the window”, both in Mary’s speech and Clark claiming he had gone through it.

Similarly, Alice goes through the looking glass (a mirror in her case, but similar enough).

modern alien

it’s like if SpongeBob and spamton had a beautiful buck toothed baby (me)

I really want to go to a ufo convention but I have to remind myself it won’t be people dressed as aliens dancing and showing off their alien merch

some relatable SpongeBob traits that I find really endearing and sweet:

- He is very prone to dramatics and crying, he takes things to heart. On the flip side, he’s very joyful and celebrates mundane things often.

- He’s quick to take the blame and always does his best to apologize and confess, e.g. “losing” the rubber boots and running to krabs crying

- He has very simple routines and he finds a lot of joy and comfort in them.

- He thinks the world of people (e.g. squidward, krabs) and always gives people the benefit of the doubt (albeit maybe to his detriment)

- tends to show his excitement in ways that people might find annoying and childish

some squidward traits I love:

- old soul, he’s very weird and artsy and sticks out in the small town of bikini bottom but he’s nevertheless passionate about his esoteric interests

- flamboyant, I love that he wears a little flower nighty to bed. I could fully see him dressing in one of those ruffled nightgowns

- diva tendencies, the moment he gets a tiny bit of attention and praise he lets it get to his head. Just the sheer dramatics of it all

- he has trouble showing affection, and hides behind his dramatic, artsy persona. He is playing a character, and it’s hard to step out of it for moments of genuineness and vulnerability — a sharp contrast to SpongeBob, who is ALWAYS earnest and genuine. When he does let his walls down, it’s always very sweet.

MY CAR GOT TOTALED!!

Last month a semi-truck backed into my car and completely wrecked it. She's an old lady and isn't worth a whole lot, so even though insurance is handling it I'm going to have to eat most of the cost myself. To soften the blow a little bit I'm opening donations and commissions will be open down the line as well! If you guys could share this around (🦋 + 🐦), it would mean the world to me. I love you 🖤

slowly inching closer to being a functional human being

Turns out I most likely have Hashimoto’s and I’m very hopeful medicine will make me feel normal again. I think the hardest part may have been just putting a name to it, but I’m lucky I have a doctor who actually listened to me. I have been dealing with this for years now and it makes me sad I’ve lost so much time to sleeping and feeling sick. I hope I can draw and do things again soon. I’m also hopeful that it will help with the OCD, as it seems thyroid issues and OCD are closely related.

Truly, I don’t know how I functioned at all for this long. I actually lied and told my doctor the symptoms had come on in the past year or so and she seemed shocked I was dealing with it for that long. In truth, I’ve been dealing with it for about ~7 years now.

Anyway, just a random update into the void. I ought to buy a journal again soon, but feeling terribly tired all the time makes it hard for me to keep up with it. Writing a throwaway tumblr post is like yelling into a well and walking away — very cathartic. Granted, there might be a creature listening down at the bottom of the well and they might say something back, but at the end of the day it’s a creature that lives in a well.

coming out of the SpongeBob movie with such intense cuteness aggression that I ran to the concessions to buy the stupid little shoulder rider plush

you’re MY 30+ year old bubble blowing baby boy now

[peebleswiggins]

I’ll just drop my review + thoughts because this is my blog and I am unhealthily obsessed with SpongeBob:

The plot was nothing to write home about, it just feels like an extra long SpongeBob episode and doesn’t really offer much in terms of character development. Even so, it was a GOOD episode of SpongeBob, I was entertained the whole time.

Of course it also gave me such intense cuteness aggression every time SpongeBob came on screen so I might be a little biased — I love you little Bob… The animators did such a good job being playful with the expressions and really pushing the animation in terms of cartooniness.

Also love how mean gay they made Squidward in this one, love Barb as the antagonist sidekick, and the art direction in this movie is genuinely gorgeous. Some of the shots (especially in the krabs swashbuckling flashback) were absolutely beautiful in composition and color. The creature designs were also super creative, love the little nods to the Greek underworld.

I had a very good time, love that little bubble blowing 30+ year old baby boy.

My only gripe is them undoing the character growth SpongeBob has done in terms of feeling “adult” enough in service of the plot. He already had an entire movie dedicated to feeling adult enough, but this movie was silly enough that I gave it a pass. I guess you could consider it as retreading the same ground from a different angle, as it gave some insight into Mr. Krabs and his past, as well as his relationship with SpongeBob as a fatherly figure.

I’m glad that the lesson remained the same though. Part of what makes me like SpongeBob so much is that he’s unapologetically silly and childish and loving and emotional and sweet. I’m happy that they made it very clear that it was good that he was that way, and that people loved him for being himself.

I also just am consistently blown away by the animators’ work on these movies. I know SpongeBob has been going on for some time now, and it would be easy to phone it in, but even when the plots aren’t the strongest the animation is always so incredibly beautiful in every movie. This one was no exception, there’s some beautiful sequences and art that I almost wished I could pause/rewind and look at for longer.
