My mom said she

looks like her

And now I can't unsee it

[peaches2217]

Look what showed up in my FB Memories: one of my earlier attempts at subtly coming out as nonbinary on my main social media in the most roundabout way possible!

I was blessed with copious amounts of peach fuzz, and this was the result of half an hour in front of the mirror with a mascara wand. I’ve always wanted a goatee, and seeing myself like this felt so good.

Today, I looked in the mirror when I got home from work and saw the beginnings of a darkening mustache and the first sprouting of chin hair. What I thought was unattainable when I took this picture is slowly becoming my reality.

Phew. That feels indescribable.

[clementine-elegance]

I feel so bad for the kids today whose childhood internet experience doesn't include the stupid flash games random sites had

[i-hate-being-asked]

Ahoy! I'm EELATED to sea you here, buddy!

I was prawn-dering if you'd wanna watch SpongeBob later in my room, we can watch the good sea-sons! :D

"I-... yes BUT TALK QUIETER!"

[blastaway2004]

Bryke comparing Aang and Katara’s relationship to a younger brother/babysitter isn’t the “gotcha” ZKs think it is.

So Bryke the nickname of the A:TLA creators once talked about teen romance tropes, to paraphrase “younger boy likes older girl but said girl only sees boy as a younger brother or as themself as their babysitter”. This was coupled with an image of Aang and Katara. There was also an article saying that dynamic is Aang and Katara’s. ZKs seem to think this is a “gotcha”, that Katara canonically thinks of Aang as her younger brother whom she babysits.

HOWEVER!

This was specifically taken from A:TLA’s original pitch bible, which contains INTIAL ideas for a show, its characters and world. Many things in pitch bibles don’t make it into the final show, for example in the original pitch bible for SpongeBob SquarePants (originally SpongeBoy Ahoy!) Sandy Cheeks the squirrel was described as the apple of SpongeBoy’s eye and was suppose to be SpongeBoy’s love interest, but in the actual show the romance was dropped, there was some occasional ship-tease (especially in Sandy’s first two episodes), and tons of people ship the two, but SpongeBob and Sandy’s relationship is platonic.

With Aang and Katara, while Bryke may have originally intended for their relationship to be unrequited with Katara viewing Aang as a lil bro to babysit, this isn’t present at all in the show itself.

I’m gonna make a bold statement and say that Katara objectively DID have feelings for Aang. Even if they weren’t super obvious and spelled out like Aang’s feelings. The Cave of Two Lovers and The Headband are the most obvious examples but there are also other notable more subtler examples, for example, Katara is very physically affectionate towards Aang, something she doesn’t really display with anyone else. 

She has a lot of respect for Aang, she choses Aang over her tribe despite knowing him for one day, she defends him from that old fisherman, suggest he be the leader of the group, asks for his opinion on how she looks, she dismisses Sokka’s idea with finding the Earth King but quickly changes her tune when Aang suggests the same thing, she gets all embarrassed and flustered when Aang comments about her hair. Point being she clearly views Aang as an equal and her peer, not someone she begrudgingly has to babysit.

She herself even straight up says she loves Aang “for the people who love you, watching you be in that much rage and pain is really scary”. And she dismisses the notion that she views Aang as a brother in The Ember Island Players. If anything, actress Katara saying Aang is like a little brother was probably just a mythology gag based on the original pitch like Toph being a dude.

So, all-in-all, the babysitter Kataang comments really don’t mean anything, because they’re about an initial idea that was clearly scrapped in the show itself. Even if it is what inspired Kataang, who cares Aaron Ehasz agreed with a comment comparing Zuko and Katara to siblings and that she was foil to Azula (something I agree with). Bryke even made a joke saying “people who ship Zutara will have doomed relationships”. Given some of the weird takes from these people, I almost feel inclined to agree.

I'm gob smacked. bamboozled. bowled over. shocked. delighted. humbled.

10 months ago, I started this blog, assuming no one would give two onions about fat/chubby/rollie-pollie p-boys & the ravings of a lunatic who had things to say about them. I have never been so happy to be so wrong.

From the brand new lurkers who drop a like here & there to the moots who have liked, commented and reblogged since the start - & every single one of you in between - you all make this place what it is. I'm just the lucky beef who gets to watch it unfold.

I have made connections through this blog with moots I can proudly call my people. From the late night laughing fits over hats that say Ahoy!, the gif spamming, the watch parties, the asks that make even me clutch my pearls, the continual bastardization of SpongeBob memes, Din looking suspiciously like Bill Murray, the dm's just to say hi, meeting new friendos, swapping p-boy pics and everything else I have had the luxury of experiencing with you amazing folks...

Keep being B.P.W.L.P.P.

Hide & Seek references compendium

I put so many little easter eggs and hidden things in my Hide and Seek fic, so here is my little ongoing list of references I purposefully put in the fic for those of you who like this kind of thing idk man

Chapter 1, Disney's Hercules: "Hey, Mack! Ya wanna buy a sundial?" Disney's Jungle Cruise: “Trader Sam’s! Come shop at Trader Sam’s! He’ll give you a great deal on shrunken heads! Two of his heads for one of yours!” the Holmes Hotel, Hugh's Pies is a reference to Nickelodeon's Jimmy Neutron series, Lilo's Stitches and Embroidery is a nod to Disney's Lilo and Stitch, "Crusty the Crab" is a nod to Spongebob Squarepants, Chell's Portal Stop is a reference to the game series Portal, and the final scene is from the ROTTMNT episode "Hidden City's Most Wanted".

Though this is not technically a reference or Easter egg, I wanted to add this note… I made a point of referring to Splinter as Lou Jitsu when he was mad or angry or selfish, and as Hamato Yoshi when he was scared or sad.

Chapter 2, Leo's determination to have Raph call him "the world's greatest ninja" is a reference to the film, Leo's quote "Land safely!" is taken from the episode "Mystic Mayhem" as well as the episode "The Evil League of Mutants", Leo's complaining to be leader is a nod to his future role, Raph referring to his father as a "sewer monster" is a reference to the episode "Man vs. Sewer", Splinter has a flashback from the episode "Goyles, Goyles, Goyles" and the line "OW! Why, you little--!" is also taken from that same episode.

Chapter 3, Mikey's dream is obviously a nod to all that he will do in the future.

Chapter 4, The origin of Lace Face from the episode "Man vs. Sewer".

Chapter 5, Phineas and Ferb "Escape from Phineas Tower": "That's some mole!" The line "Raph! Your enormous body is crushing me!!” is a reference to Disney's Lilo and Stitch, "sweater town" is a reference to the Gravity Falls episode "The Hand that Rocks the Mabel", the line "I didn't want to believe it, but... *sigh* science." is taken directly from the ROTTMNT film as well as a moment when Leo mentions that Donnie was wrong, Donnie uses two really's, a reference from the episode "Breaking Purple", Donnie gives Leo the comic seen in the episode "Jupiter Jim Ahoy!"

Chapter 6, Splinter's tv flips through several channels which include clips from media. These include a Thomas Sanders vine with "Weatherman Al", the quote "My leg!" from Spongebob Squarepants, part of the Fairly Odd Parents' theme song, Mrs. Cuddles' catchphrase "Let's be friends forever!", "I've got bad feeling about this" is a quote from Star Wars, the fake show about "Goosey" is an easter egg to @gooeseyleo and her Gooseyleo series. When Leo goes onstage, he does "a few improvised dance moves", which is a nod to Ben Schwartz and some dance moves he did in the Netflix improv comedy special "Middleditch and Schwartz”. The Lou Jitsu play the boys perform is a parody of the Godzilla franchise and the Pacific Rim films. Donnie's line "I strive for accuracy" is a reference to @sleepis4theweak 's comic (which I think about every gosh darn day), Horsebot-3000 and Splinter's line "I liked Horsebot-3000" are references to the show Community, season 3 episode 7: "Studies in Modern Movement".

Chapter 7, in the illustration Leo and Donnie are wearing Transformer and Decepticon t-shirts, respectively, and in the background you can see spray paint that spells out "Atomic Lass", as well as a drawing of the turtles' weapons.

Chapter 8, a young BEBOP AND ROCKSTEADY make an appearance, as does a very young Harvey Hokum from the ROTTMNT comics. When Bebop tries to sell Leo, he calls him “Shelly”, a reference to my pet turtle of the same name. In the illustration you can see a goldfish on the shelf, which is meant to be Piebald.

Chapter 9, How It's Made, APRIL O'NEIIIIILLLL, Harvey Hokum, Warren Stone and Kendra are referenced, "Operation Blue Suede Shoes" contains the title of a song, a reference to how in the show there are several similar code-names used for the characters ("Purple Rain" for Donnie, "Yellow Submarine" for April, etc.) Leo says that Mikey has empathy amplified, a reference to the fanfiction of the same name written by @filsa-mek on AO3.

Chapter 10, the boys watch "Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit". Leo promises to never leave Raphael alone and to always find him. Raph offers several scenarios that actually happen in the future where Leo searches for Raph - sewer monsters (a reference to the episode Man Vs. Sewer), getting captured by bad guys (the episode Bug Busters), and aliens attacking (the events of the film). The chapter as a whole is also based off of a few sketches I made - one of which shows the boys watching the film with Splinter, and one where Raph has a bad dream and wakes up to seeing he hurt Leo, who offers to help and gets the bros together for a turtle pile.

Chapter 11, the episode is heavily inspired by an episode of the audio drama series Adventures in Odyssey, specifically the episode "Mandy's Debut". The line "Wow, the shortcake of death" is a reference taken from said same episode! During Leo's flashback, a reference to the meme "She knocked that smug look off my face, but fourtunately I had a smaller smug look underneath" when Leo takes off his sunglasses to reveal a cooler pair of sunglasses underneath. Leo and Raph make a note to the fact that Leo is not the eldest in this universe.

Chapter 12, Raph, Leo, and Mikey teach April a game they play in the episode "Late Fee". When using sign language, Donnie tells Leo to "Stop yelling at me", which is inspired by a moment in Spy Kids 4. April introduces Raph to Ghostbear's starting career. Mikey repeats a line from the episode "Bug Busters", which is "Remind me not to ask questions anymore." Mikey uses the phrase "hydrate or die-drate", which is taken from a meme but is also something I say constantly as well. When in the Hidden City, Splinter hears people calling out to customers, one uses the lyrics to the Fairly Odd Parents' theme song, another is selling Mary Poppins' umbrella, a third is selling the three mystery journals from Gravity Falls, the fourth is selling Cinderella's glass slippers, and the last one is selling the Stanley Parable bucket of reassurance. Ochimizu is a Japanese mythical elixir of eternal life. The introduction and origins of Loathsome Leonard and the Mud Dogs. Malicious Mickey uses the "creepy doctor" line from "Stuck on You".

Chapter 13, Donnie delirium is directly based off of my own experiences with delirium, as well as his and Leo's conversation about whether or not Leo would miss him when he dies (which was an actual conversation I had with my mother when I was sick with croup as a little girl). The second half of that conversation was adapted from a scrapped fic called "The Kids Are All Dying". Donnie references the song "Big Yellow Taxi". The seven-tailed fox comes from Japanese folklore, but specifically this one was a reference to Naruto! Mikey sings the first line of the "Wonderfilled" song by Owl City. The secret ingredient being a discontinued soda was inspired by the ending of the musical "Be More Chill". The toad yokai becomes Heinous Green.

Short story, in the illustration you can see several signatures and sketches on Leo's cast, such as Raph signing "Mad Dawgs" and Mikey drawing his stickers. On the wall behind Leo is an eye exam that has the words "RISE" and "PHOEBE" on it. There's also a computer monitor in the back with Leo's vitals on it, as well as a notification about the trackers, and a list of all Hamatos Donnie tagged.

I will update more when I post new chapters... ;)

The Suitcase Gang Watches: The (First) SpongeBob Squrepants Movie

Feeling Cute, Might Continue This At A Later Date lol

Also, yes, this could be seen as post-canon. As seen below for obvious reasons lmao

The movie starts with the 2002 Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies logos. The titles read "Paramount Pictures Presents," "A Nickelodeon Movies Production," and "in association with United Plankton Pictures." Seagulls fly across the sky while the screen pans and the open credits start. We then see a pirate on a look-out post. He moves upwards to get a better look at something with his telescope. The screen then shows the view in the telescope of a pirate on a dinghy.

"Oh, live-action!" Regulus remarked, eyes shining with interest behind her goggles. "And pirates, to boot!"

Vertin nodded. "It's not often that live-action happens in this series."

"Perhaps it is. A new, approach?" Balloon Party asked.

A man on the dinghy, with a large trunk, yelled out, "I got it! I got it! I got it!"

"Got... what?" Sonetto muttered. Sotheby heard her, and motioned towards the screen.

"Something rare, I do believe!"

The look-out pirate squinted. "Dinghy ahoy." He then proceeded to look downwards. "Dinghy off the port bow!" after a moment, he yelled again, "DINGHY OFF THE PORT BOW!"

Below, another pirate yelled, "DINGHY OFF THE PORT BOW!"

Off screen, many other pirates yelled it too as they ran around the ship, before focusing on a door and a pirate going up to it.

"Captain! Dinghy off the--!" he was cut off, however, as the door slammed open and into his face, knocking him downwards.

"Dinghy." the Captain said, being a man with an eyepatch and a parrot on his shoulder.

"Ouch!" Regulus winced. That's gotta leave a mark!"

"A concussion." Balloon Party remarked. "No matter. He will be. Alright."

Vertin hummed. Maybe. They hurt, she'd know.

The screen went outwards, and showed then the dinghy being pulled on board, the pirate still deliriously repeating that "He's got it".

The Captain pushed on past. "Where is it?!" he asked.

"It's right here, Captain!" replied the pirate.

Everyone leaned closely.

The Captain looked as the chest opened, bathing his face in golden light. "I never thought I'd see it, with me own eye..." he whispered in barely-controlled excitement.

Everyone leaned in closer...

He turned around to show golden tickets. "TICKETS TO THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE!" he yelled, as the pirates start cheer.

Regulus let out a wheeze. "TICKETS?!"

"See? Rare!" Sotheby said. "Tickets to movies are quite expensive, you know!"

It was true, yes. But maybe in different times.

The pirates started to sail towards the movie theater as the main theme to SpongeBob Squrepants started to play.

Needless to say, everyone joined in. Even Sonetto and Vertin, Sonetto blushing while singing, but felt better with everyone else singing with her.

At long last, the pirates were sat... and the movie in the movie begun at last.

i am an adult.

if a post is more on the nsfw-ish side i will tag it as such being under "nsfw" or “nsfw text” if it’s only in text posts. however i will not post really explicit posts (aka no spongebob smut drawings)/posts i am personally not comfortable with.

you can submit a post through my ask box. if you want to, feel free to include the date if you can find it, but if you can’t that’s fine i can find out.

you can also ask me to find a certain post.

or just feel free to say hi in my asks.

in general this is just a way to look back and see these fun and iconic posts from the past of the spongebob squarepants fandom and make sure they get documented and not lost to time.

the posts themselves don’t have to be anything bad just simply put if it has a lot of notes it can make it on this blog.

i am still in school so please be patient.

the blog most of the time will run on a queue. usually two posts per day, but once again some exceptions to that rule and right now it has been currently very inconsistent so apologies!

Ahoy, horror-lovers and maritime mystery maniacs! 🌊💀 This week we’re diving deep into one of the most infamous ghost ships of all time: the Flying Dutchman. A ship doomed to sail the seas forever, cursed to never make port, and eternally haunting the minds of sailors from the 17th century to the modern day. The Flying Dutchman isn’t just a spooky tale—it’s a ghostly legend with sightings that still pop up around the world.

🌌 The Legend of the Flying Dutchman 🌌

Imagine it’s the 1600s. The seas are rough, treacherous, and full of mystery. According to lore, the Flying Dutchman was captained by a man named Hendrik van der Decken, who (for reasons debated by legend) blasphemously vowed to make it around the perilous Cape of Good Hope no matter what, even if it took him till Doomsday. Some say he struck a deal with the Devil; others say he defied God in a storm, claiming, “I will round this Cape even if I have to sail until the end of time!” He wasn’t wrong… but not in the way he hoped. 👀

Van der Decken and his crew are now cursed to wander the seas forever. The ghost ship has been sighted for centuries, often glowing an eerie, spectral blue. Sailors say that seeing the Flying Dutchman is a terrible omen, meaning doom or shipwreck is close behind.

🎬 Pop Culture: From Pirates to SpongeBob 🎬

The Flying Dutchman might sound familiar to you from pop culture! Pirates of the Caribbean’s version of the ship, captained by Davy Jones (and later Will Turner), is a terrifying wreck of coral and cursed souls, a fitting homage to the legend. Disney’s portrayal ties the ship to Jones’s Locker, another eerie spin on the afterlife and oceanic hell.

But let’s be real—who doesn’t remember The Flying Dutchman from SpongeBob SquarePants? The show takes a playful approach, casting him as a ghostly pirate who haunts Bikini Bottom and who, despite his haunting, is more laughable than terrifying. He’s still a powerful spirit, though, making sure we never forget the legend (or his ghostly green beard).

🌌 Is the Dutchman Real or Just a Mirage? 🌌

But… this legend isn’t just any mirage. It’s too enduring, too widely reported, and too mysterious. Maybe the Dutchman is just a mirage of a ship from a past time. Or maybe it’s more—an echo from another world, forever replaying the moment it challenged the seas and lost.

So, the next time you’re at sea and a ghostly ship appears on the horizon, remember Captain van der Decken and his curse. Maybe you’ve just spotted the Flying Dutchman. Or maybe it’s a mirage—right?
