Does it ever feel pressuring (no pun intended) to work on a show with such a legacy and history as SpongeBob?

VERY much so, but in a good way, if such a thing exists! one of our mantras on our little storyboard plussing team is “pressure makes diamonds” and it is a very applicable saying

when i first started, i was TEEEEERRRIFIED! i really felt like i had no idea what i was doing, and there have been so many times where i’ve turned in a section and genuinely thought “oh my god they’re gonna fire me for this it’s so bad.” working in animation is frazzling enough! but not only are we working on a cultural mecca, with not only the kids of today to entertain, impress and inspire, but to maintain the integrity of the series and entertain/impress/inspire the kids like us who grew up with the show, we are also working with literal animation legends and animation veterans!! it’s pretty surreal to be working on the same show as someone like Bob Camp, who’s been in the industry for 40+ years… and even more surreal when he says he’s a big fan of your work 😵‍💫‼️‼️‼️‼️

THANKFULLY, i’ve made a lot of strides in curbing some of my storyboarding stage fright. it used to be really bad when i started, like genuinely panic attack inducing! the constant patience and guidance and encouragement of my peers and consistent practice from these past three years have really allowed me to grow and blossom. now, when i feel a bit claustrophobic in remembering the pure scale of what we’re doing, i weaponize it for good!!

i think of how inspired and amazed and obsessed with SpongeBob i was as a kid. how it inspired me to draw, how i remember drawing along to episodes and commercial breaks. my brother and his wife are both elementary school teachers and routinely update me about how their kids are still crazy for SB (and they both brag about me to their kids heheh). i think of all the kids watching, all the kids realizing that getting to draw these characters and interact with them and live in their world is something you indeed can do, all the kids who religiously catch each new episode like i once did… it just fills me with so much confidence and hope and love, and that motivates me to deliver and do my best and try to do what i can to help make each episode be better and more fun than the last

SpongeBob is for everyone, obviously! that’s one of the great things i love about working on it: i get just as much enjoyment watching our finished episodes as our target audience. but i do bring up the kids particularly often because, at the end of the day, that is who we are doing it for and i also just can’t help but think back to how my SpongeBob obsessed self as a kid would have had her world rocked to know i’m doing what i’m doing. i want to give those kids, who i used to be and still essentially am, the same joy and spark and all consuming inspiration i felt and still do

there are definitely some days where the gravity of what we’re doing hits harder than others! some days are a lot more difficult than others. this is an absolute dream job, i’m not just saying that, i always fantasized about maybe one day being able to work my way up to working on SpongeBob and now it’s my first animation job—but it is very easy to get overwhelmed by just how big of a legacy we’re carrying on our shoulders! how many other mega talented people work on this show! there’s a lot to juggle. but we juggle it well. there is so much love and heart and care poured into this show. we do everything we can to maintain the integrity of the characters and the show’s core, and it just makes me love what i do all the more and makes me more determined to do it

TLDR: YES! but i’m much better off for it, because it reminds me of why we’re working so hard to begin with. we all want this show to be the best it can—to maintain its core 25 years later, but still have fun doing it. i mentioned this on Twitter, but when i met Bill Fagerbakke last month he was saying how cool it is that fans who grew up with the show are now able to work on it and i couldn’t agree more. it’s the greatest honor imaginable being able to carry such a monumental torch, and i hope i’m able to keep at it for a long, long time.

The Aftermath (1982)

"What happens when you die?"

"I don't know, son. No one does."

"It's sad to die."

"No. Death isn't sad. We all have to die. What's sad is having to go on without someone you love. Just as we have to go on now."

[satanfemme]

watched the movie knife + heart today and it was really good. if there's one thing u gotta know about me is I love love love it when sadist characters kill people in homoerotic manners. wait I don't think u understand. this guy had a dildo that turned into a knife. it was dildo... and he'd press a button(?) on it... and a blade would pop out of the tip. of the penis. dildo knife. and he killed cute men with it homoerotically. lots of hot gay porn in this movie btw. gay porn was actually incredibly central to the plot, I can't stress this enough. lots of sucking and fucking on screen and two (2) cum shots. or maybe four, depending on how you're counting them. and a gay sadist with a tortured past doing homoerotic murder!!!!!!! needless to say this film was unfortunately french.

Still blows my mind that Rolin and the CD and everyone got this kind of chemistry when they did chemistry reads with people thousands of miles apart. I guess the whole "let's see how they interact when they're not acting" thing really works. Or Rolin is a witch.

I would 1000000% Rolin is in communication with An Entity, tbh.

UMM I JUST SPENT AN HOUR ON TIK TOK CRYING OVER EDITS OF BRIMSLEY AND REYNOLDS I HAVENT EVEN SEEN THE SHOW YET AND IM ALREADY SO ATTACHED AND CRIED SEVERAL TIMES WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WATCH IT WHAT THEN

[transsexualcoriolanus]

i find it super interesting (read: i hate) how literally every production of coriolanus that i've seen looked at the line "i melt and am not of stronger earth than others", an extremely rare moment of vulnerability and emotion from marcius that shows his awareness of his humanity, contrasts the dehumanising language used by other characters for him throughout the play, and shows the change in him after act 4 as he begins to allow himself to show the damage done to him throughout his life and fighting career when he previously hid or downplayed it, and went "yeah this seems like a good line to cut, we don't need it"
