I never realized how much extra content PPG had until I looked at archive.org; the chapter books, the powerzine, picture books, flash games, console games, desktop themes, and other misc media; so I wanted to ask, what's your favorite piece of non-animated ppg content?
Man, what a tough question! There’re soooooo many good and weird supplementary things from the show out there. I really don’t know if I could choose a favorite!
I guess I’m kiiinda partial to the chapter books because many of them feel like scrapped ideas that could have made really fun episodes. I like the comics (I REALLY liked IDW’s Second Chances in particular… even though there’re some OOC moments near the end 😭), but the chapter books just feel like a better representation of the show to me. I like how they focus on the characters and their internal dialogue more, and speaking of dialogue, the girls are sasssssyyy. Here’s one example but there are many others like it:
Tumblr media
I feel like I end up paying the most attention to how Blossom is written in these (naturally, haha, she’s my fave!) and I feel like there’s a lot of things in them about her character especially that I would have loved to see as canon in the show (like, off the top of my head: Blossom trying to start her own detective agency, becoming mayor for a day, hating coffee, seeing more of her aptitude for creating gadgets and fixing electronics, etc.). There’s really cute stuff with Buttercup and Bubbles too, and I just love how the books really do feel closest to an extension of the show.

SpongeBob SquarePants Shipping Chart (FEEL FREE TO USE)
MAJOR UPDATE (10/14/2023): Added More Characters from the Musical
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For the record, I've decided to create my own official blank shipping chart of one of my Fandoms for the very first time (since there isn't much SB Shipping Charts all over online so I created my own).
I've created Two Versions in case for Half of the Fandom's POV on the Two King Neptune characters (rather if you believe they are the same Character or Not).
Here are the Two Links for Full Versions in case to use for the Better Quality.
In case if you are confused of what each of the Ship Terms for what each of the Color represents...
❀️ = OTP (A Ship that You Love so Much and it is your own Main Favorite One out of all of the Other Ships) 🧑 = Platonic (A Ship that you prefer to be more than just Personal Friends rather than a Couple) πŸ’– = Crack (A Kind of Ship that is meant to be either Bizarre or Funny as in a Joke) 🩷= Love (A Ship that you also Adore but not that much of a Main Favorite) πŸ’›= Like (A Ship that you do Enjoy but rather in a More "Causal" way to say the least) πŸ’š= Neutral (A Ship that you have Mixed Feelings or Indifferent with) 🩡= Ok (A Ship that you're completely Fine with, but don't have any strong feelings towards it) πŸ’œ= Meh (A Ship that you just don't completely care nor pay any attention to) πŸ’™= Dislike (A Ship that you just don't agree with or just not a personal fan of, if you don't have any too much Hate of it) πŸ’™= Hate (A Ship that you just CAN'TΒ STANDΒ no matter how much that you despise) πŸ–€= Crash and Burn (A NOTOP that you Hate so much and is your own Main DEPISE One out of all the Other Ships)
Bonus Option: πŸ’—= Ship with OC (A Character that you personally prefer to ship with Any of Your Own Persona/Mutuals' OC) πŸ’š= Ship in Crossover (An X-Over Ship that you prefer to ship with Any Canon Character in the Franchise with a Different Character from Another Media) 🟀= Stay Single (A Character that you don't have enough ships and would just leave the Character to be Single without being shipped with anyone)

I know you're more familiar with live action DC comics stuff, but has anything/anyone from The DC Animated Universe ever caught your eye? I'm currently on a binge of all those sweet sweet early 2000s cartoons and I'm picking up husbands left and right ❀️
There's certainly an array to choose from, especially among Batman/Superman/Justice League villains, but I feel like you would like a lot of the Teen Titans villains. Especially The Amazing Mumbo or Mad Mod.
oooh i'd love to know which cartoons from The DC Animated Universe you're bingeing!!! πŸ₯°πŸ’– the answer is yes, although they're less than obscure - i was quite the fan of The Riddler in Batman: The Animated Series, and The Joker in both B:TAS and The Batman (2004-2008). this really is no surprise though - i'm always down bad for these two no matter what adaptation they're in πŸ™ˆπŸ’– but i wanna know about the lesser-known baddies πŸ‘€
Tumblr media
why hello there Tom Kenny, it's always a pleasure to hear you!! πŸ₯° you're so right, The Amazing Mumbo is a great suggestion...i love how theatrical and fruity he is πŸ˜‚πŸ’– quite curious about the mechanics of his evil - is this an Ice King situation (ironic if so!), where he's corrupted by his headgear? πŸ‘€
Tumblr media
Mad Mod on the other hand-
oh no.
oh no please don't do this to me-
you really sat back and watched my simping for Austin Powers and thought, ah, you know who'd be a great candidate? πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ my God, this man has such style!!!! the look, the cane, the moves, the voice...not to mention how sick his gadgetry is, wow wow wow πŸ’–πŸ₯΄ i've only seen a little snippet of him from Teen Titans but holy shit i love him. he seems insane in a very specific way - i'm down so bad for reality-bending characters, and the fact that he's smart enough to do so purely with tech and no magical or superhuman abilities is incredible!!! not to mention he's got that sneering, pompous, self-aggrandising intellectualism i'm such a sucker for. god damn it Iriso you can't keep doing this πŸ˜‚πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– also, that voice!!! Mad Mod's VA, Malcom McDowell is Alex deLarge from A Clockwork Orange!!! genius casting right there πŸ™ˆπŸ’– i don't know how silly it is to be British myself and find such joy in these ultra-pigeonholed stereotypes of Britishness, but like. he's smart and styling and evil. i'd gladly be his duckie πŸ˜‰πŸ’–

hi hello hiiii πŸ₯° so... you wrote ze besstttt works on bouc/poirot stuff on ao3 and i remember we KINDA discussed with you in the comments upcoming movie SO hence the question:
your thoughts on A Haunting in Venice πŸ‘€πŸ‘€
also thanks once again for your amazing works!!! truly the blessing πŸ™
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEkabsmabamsbsn thank you for your kind wordsπŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–
I think the movie has been out long enough that I don’t need to worry about spoilers but just in case SPOILERS FOR A HAUNTING IN VENICE FOLLOWING
Short answer: eh. It was okay.
Long answer: (and I am sorry for the almost 1,000 words of an essay this is. I am sorry).
It’s been a few months since I’ve seen it which I think will be a good indicator as to what stuck with me and what didn’t. I immensely enjoy the way that Kenneth Branagh plays Poirot, so I loved that ofc. I knew nothing about Agatha Christie until Murder on the Orient Express came out so he was my first Poirot and I’ll always have a special place for him in my heart. I do think he plays some aspects of the character better than David Suchet, but David Suchet is a far superior Poirot. Anyways.
I was pleased with the tone of it because it was advertised more as purely horror but Kenny boy toed the line between extra creepy mystery and horror very well. I was also very relieved that there weren’t quite as many flashing lights as in the trailerπŸ˜‚ And of course since it’s Kenneth Branagh, the cinematography was AMAZING. Lots of Dutch angles tho which was strange. I thought it was interesting how Kenny touched more on Poirot’s PTSD, and as an angst/whump lover, it was delicious. The music was amazing. The story… not so much.Β 
I think I’d have to watch it again to fully gather my thoughts on the story, but I went away with the impression that it moved too fast and was lacking a lot in certain areas. I didn’t see the twist coming at the end, but again, it was disappointing. Even my sister (who hasn’t read much Poirot) said that it didn’t seem very complex. And I love Kenneth Branagh but first and foremost Agatha is my girl. I have been known to reference her as my best friend at times. One of the things I enjoy most about Agatha Christie is that she puts like a minimum of 4 twists with the reveal, because she understood that once you reveal the killer, the story is over and most people will lose interest. And it tends to be underwhelming when the entire story has been building to a point that is over in three seconds. There were a few twists scattered through the movie, but ultimately if Kenny wanted to use a Christie book as source material, I think he should have stuck with her formula of hitting people with a bunch of twists at the end.Β 
I did like how he kept the supernatural aspect ambiguous. I would have been foaming at the mouth in rage if he tried to make ghosts a canon part of the HPCU (Hercule Poirot Cinematic Universe). I didn’t like Oliver at all in this, which is a shame because I love her in all the Poirot books she’s in. I can tell what parts Christie is venting about writing through her which is really entertaining to me. But the actress who played her in A Haunting in Venice was… irritating. She had a lot of exposition to deliver, and while the script was tipping on the edge of having the exposition be clunky, I think a better actress would have been able to salvage it. She was so wooden. It was irritating.Β 
For example, in Death on the Nile there’s this awkward introduction where Bouc is rattling off the names and motives of the wedding guests (which I have a problem with in itself. That movie is SO LONG and they introduce everyone in under 1 minute and then spend an hour getting to the murder part. Literally this clip is 53 seconds. Tom Bateman barely had time to breathe. Surely they could have introduced the characters in a better way with the HOUR of screen time they had before the murder). The scene is inherently clunky, and the writing is… not great. It sort of makes sense for Bouc to be telling Poirot who is who, but to give motives as well… not great.Β 
youtube
But even with the awkward dialogue, Tome Bateman delivers the lines so smoothly that you can almost look past the weird writing.
Speaking of my boy Bouc, I was very disappointed that he wasn’t mentioned at all in A Haunting in Venice. He was a vital part of the other two movies, and up until this point in the HPCU, he has been in every Poirot movie. It’s my opinion that if youΒ 
1. Have a character appear in more than one movieΒ 
2. Have established that character as a very good close friend of the main character, in fact, the only person the main character can trustΒ 
3. You kill that character and show that his death had an impact on the main characterΒ 
You should mention it in the next movie. And especially since it’s implied that Poirot gave up detective work completely after Bouc’s death (probably even because of Bouc’s death) and this is the first murder case he’s been involved with since… I just think it was a missed opportunity to not even reference him in passing. And especially since the movie was playing into Poirot’s PTSD; surely this is a scenario that would at least make him briefly think of his close friend who he lost the last time he was in this situation.
I am approaching the movie from the point of view of a diehard Agatha Christie fan and someone who enjoys critiquing any movie I watch, so I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as I make it out to be.
All in all, I would rank the movies as:Β 
1. Murder in the Orient ExpressΒ 
2. A Haunting in VeniceΒ 
3. Death on the NileΒ 
I have so many issues with Death on the Nile that pretty much anything is going to be better than that. I wrote a whole essay about it for my English class.Β 
Anyway if you made it this far congratulationsπŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ What were your thoughts about it?

My favourite Fairy Tail chara is Cana and I love Gildarts too. If you're familiar with them, you might understand what I love about them especially, so wouldn't you mind doing a little playlist for them? Thank you.
Awww, Anon! This request is so incredibly wholesome!! οΏ½οΏ½πŸ’– Thank you so much! I'd absolutely love to make a mini-playlist about Cana and Gildarts for you! πŸ₯°
(Warnings: Fairy Tail Spoilers Ahead)
Cana is a particular favorite of mine as well! She was a delight every time she appeared, but as much as I loved her, I hadn't been expecting her to have such a compelling character arc (it's honestly one of the best in the series in my opinion). The bond between her and Gildarts was so unexpected, but it is so sweet and so wholesome and really added a lot of extra dimensions to their characters especially Gildarts, I think, since he was kind of this untethered, somewhat-wild loner before he took on that parental role with Cana. I really loved them and their father-daughter relationship in the series, and I hope this mini-playlist is a reflection of that. I also hope that you will enjoy it. 😊
Spotify and YouTube links have been included below. Thank you so much for such a sweet ask! πŸ’•
Tumblr media
There Goes My Life by Kenny Chesney (YouTube Link) [A/N: This is the song that immediately came to mind when I saw your ask. It really reminds me of Gildarts in this context and how being a father helped him grow as a person and how Cana means the world to him]
Your Mother's Eyes -- The Head And The Heart (YouTube Link)
In Case You Don't Live Forever by Ben Platt (YouTube Link) [A/N: I tried to include at least one Cana POV song on the playlist for you, and I really think this song speaks to her struggle to tell Gildarts what he means to her and her wanting to build that familial relationship for him. Some of the later verses and lines like "I'm a man cause you taught me to be one" work from Gildarts perspective as well, and they remind me some of those scenes in their battle against August in the final arc too]
I Lived by OneRepublic (YouTube Link)
Daughter by Sleeping At Last (YouTube Link)
🎡Bonus: "Dinosaurs in Love" by Fenn Rosenthal (feat. Tom Rosenthal) (YouTube Link). [A/N: This is a bit of a random addition, but I've included this song as a bonus because of the story behind it. Tom Rosenthal is one of my favourite modern singer-songwriters, and this song was written by his 3-year-old daughter, Fenn, (with a little bit of help from him). According to this article by Classical FM, "Fenn Rosenthal’s song, β€˜Dinosaurs in Love’ wasΒ posted on Twitter by her dad, Tom Rosenthal (a songwriter in his own right, but not as well-known as his daughter) after Fenn had entered his studio at home and demanded songwriting time." The story of the little girl wanting to be like her father (and spiritedly "demand[ing]" the opportunity to follow in his footsteps), and, then, her dad encouraging and helping her achieve her dreams (by helping her compose part of the tune of the song), really reminded me of Cana and Gildarts so I threw this one in there as an added bonus. 😊 I can just imagine that in an AU where Gildarts was a singer-songwriter instead of a wizard, Cana would absolutely be spirited enough to barge into his studio and demand songwriting time with him. This is also, perhaps, a bit of wish-fulfillment for me because I wish Little Cana had had the opportunity to be supported by Gildarts like this when she was growing up πŸ’•].
Thanks for playing my Mini-Playlist Ask Game! 😊

What are your thoughts on the Birthday special?
I had to rewrite this because tumblr deleted my answer like 3 times. I hate this shit app but here we go aaaagain.
I really adored it because it introduced us to Slappy my belovedπŸ’—πŸŒΈπŸ’—πŸŒΈπŸ’—πŸŒ·πŸ’—πŸŒ·πŸ’•πŸ’–πŸŒΈπŸ’—πŸŒ·πŸŒ·πŸŒΈπŸ’—πŸ’•πŸ’—πŸŒΈπŸŒ·πŸ’—πŸŒ·πŸ’•πŸ’—πŸ’•πŸŒ·πŸŒΈ
My heart beats for youuuuu✨
Tumblr media
Jk jk but I do remember my initial reaction to him was basically "tf is that thing" oh how times have changed.
Spongebob's Big Birthday Blowout is easily the superior anniversary special. Truth or square kinda sucked ass (no offense to the people who enjoyed it tho) When Patchy said he hoped to see us again for the 20th anniversary special, my 9 year old self was like "you better because WHAT WAS THAT"
anyways they well delivered with this special.
I really enjoyed this episode, it was amazing because you don't see SB and friends interact wirh the human world. Yeah they've been to the human world surface for the SB movies but often times just for a mission. They never had a chance to really interact and explore with the human world which is what makes this special so enticing. The bikini bottom is a reclusive world with no contact with the outside so its their first time encountering human culture and contact. Like aliens in a way.
Its also really amusing that they're getting wrong information from the tour guide since it shows how fish folk makes sense of things they don't quite understand about the surface world. It's just guesses, even though those guesses are very wrong.
Also I've really grown to like Rube. He's AMAZING✨
It was also very cute how the tour bus trip is just Sponge and Patrick. We need more episodes of their friendship!!
Tumblr media
I also think it takes place from the fishes's POV and the human world isn't that weird. There probably isn't a gorilla mask office meetingπŸ˜”
That's just how they make sense of the hustle and bustle of the human world. Which is a bit obvious enough. Either that or this is an alternate reality where the weirdness properties of random land leaked into the human world as well.
Anyways shout out to can-o beans. A true icon.
Tumblr media
Oh also this episode raises the morality question of if its ethical to own fish. Probably as a joke but it was unusual. I actually wanted to talk about it! In the episode Feral Friends, Neptune's moon turns the fish folk of the bikini bottom into less evolved versions of themselves which is pretty much the realistic versions of fish in the wild. In SB's Big Birthday Blowout, they end up at a place that sells pet fish, those fish also look really realistic. Which was basically like encountering a horror show for the fish in the tour bus. They recognize the fish in the tanks as their own people. Despite looking different. Patrick even has a crush on one of them. How does that work??? I have a lot of questions about that scene. I'll dig into it another time.
The Trusty Slab is the best part of the episode. They are exactly the SB characters. Tom Kenny really embodies Spongebob (which is obvious since he's been playing this character since before I was born) This is the most acceptable Humanbob out there. Nothing can top this. The energy is unmatched.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Same goes for all the characters. It's kinda funny how the voice actors all kinda look like their characters. Rodger Bumpass looks like Squidward. it's too funny to unsee.
Also Charlton (human Plankton) is adorable and the icing on the cake! Trying to rob the Trusty Slab but failing. This wouldn't be complete without Plankton. Though I wish Karen could have been there too :(
Though how would human Karen work? Why am I imagining one of those AI gf app thingies. That's a terrifying thought.
B plot for this episode is where a lot of the flaws come in. It falls pretty flat because it's just Sandy dealing with people fighting and causing a mess for the party which gets old fast. I liked seeing everyone's different ideas for the party and certainly they'd disagree but often times it feels like it's only Sandy holding this party together and dragging everyone around since they're so nonfunctional. Sandy deserved better.
Tumblr media
I did enjoy the fact that they brought back old characters whether nonverbal or whatever. The guy from rock bottom, the whale from ripped pamts. Even princess Mindy! I wish they brought back Stanley though. There was a lot of guest stars in this episode too! Though unlike Truth or Square, they don't take much of a huge focus of the story. If you notice them then its just a fun thing to see. If you don't then you didn't really miss anything.
Spongebob's parents also wondered about Spange's huge array of friends. They barely know their own son lol
Tumblr media
Regardless of the B plot, the episode was still really enjoyable. When spongebob came back from the trip and the end of the episode where they sing happy birthday to him was so so adorable!! They even redid the theme song just for his birthday! I love it!
Oh also! It was so satisfying to see Patchy meet spongebob. I've waited my whole life for this. But it does raise a question. Patchy is a spongebob (the tv show) super fan. Patchy actually got to visit spongebob (the character) so in universe there's both a show and the real character existing at the same time? I feel like this would fit into skin theory πŸ€”

This episode was such a joy to watch. They didn't reveal spongebob's age but we know it since his birthday was revealed on his drivers license. He's getting old. this episode actually aired the day before SB's actual birthday. Mainly to avoid it conflating with Bastille Day for international releases. But that also means this episode aired on Tom Kenny's birthday. Think of it as a birthday present to the irl spange. I think that's just a neat fact to share.
