SpongeBob really out here giving Patrick the Dementor's Kiss 💀

My thirsty delulu ass still says even a soulsucking kiss is a Patbob kiss lmao.

Also this another reason why SpongeBob demolishes Goku

From S12E12b, "Biddy Sitting"

[spongeybubbles]

so hard being a patbob girl in a squidbob world..

[reallyhardy]

Hey Loren! I wanted to see your opinion on this. Normally I'm a big Patbob girlie, but I rewatched the proshot recently and I was really digging Spandy?? Like Ethan and Christina have amazing on stage chemistry that I guess I just didn't notice the last few times I've watched it 😅

omg :') truly i believe that christina looked at sandy and said 'oh yeah she loves her boys, she LOVES her boys.' i was lucky enough to go see the spongebob musical on broadway a second time when she'd taken over the role and i noticed that her portrayal was a lot more uh... generally touchy feely than lilli's was :') she truly takes any opportunity to give a casual touch to the boys, SB especially but i didn't escape my notice that she touched patrick more than lilli's sandy did too

figure one: "boys, i'm still gonna push on from this town of yours..."

figure two: "i think my calculations are right..."

obviously i'm comparing a bootleg to a proshot but this is how i remember the difference between both actresses when i saw each of them live too. ANYWAY this is the golden moment... (excuse the jumpy LQ gif i just used a quick screen recorder)

figure three: "very catchy." "yeah?" "yeah." "'cause i wasn't sure." "i think the rhyme is great."

THE CLOSENESS asfghfga she curls herself completely around his shoulder and then the way he puts his hand on her knee i know i've mostly been talking about christina's performance but you're right about her chemistry with ethan too! it's mutual contact in this bit, i like that the touch is reciprocated by him here

for comparison here's both actresses:

lilli & ethan's sandy & SB are like casual best buds in this scene but christina's sandy said i must squeeze him asfgh i think she thinks he's the cutest thing in the world tbh

anyway i love both actresses! this is just to show the difference lol - both sandys obviously love and care about their friends and she's a complete ride-or-die type of friend... christina plays her sandy as a way more physically affectionate character, especially around SB. [anyway here's a whole gifset of some of the proshot spandy moments] not including their hugs at the end because the camera was so zoomed out it wasn't good enough quality to gif haha but that was also a part that both lilli and christina gave their all to 💛

Patbob I should’ve been better :3 HOHO

@pawsomelybuggy here ye go :3 I hope you likeeeeee. Also realizing how long its been since i wrote for patbob

Bobby couldn’t move. He was so numb he was frozen to his spot. He wished he had never opened his mouth and said those words to Patrick, because he knew how sensitive his buddy was, and how Bobby was the only one in his life who had been there no matter what. And Bobby had an argument with arguably the one person he loves the most in his life, sending him away to a group of newfound friends as opposed to opening his arms and reassuring Patrick that Bobby would always be there for him.

He couldn’t open his mouth, it was like it was glued shut by the cosmos or something, but he desperately wanted to call Patrick back. Bobby wanted so badly to say “I’m sorry, I should never have said any of that, because I love you so much more than any argument we could ever have.”

But words left unsaid were soon wilted on his tongue, washed away with the wave of crushing sorrow roaring its way through his bloodstream. And so he wordlessly watched his best friend walk away without even a glance back at Bobby, who had fallen to his knees, legs unable to carry him anymore. Into the future, Patrick went, without Bobby. And that thought kept creeping its way around his brain, his awareness of his breathing being the only thing keeping the tears from flowing freely.

Sandy placed her hand on his shoulder, gently helping him stand again, sending him home to rest before their trek up the volcano. His home was dark, shadows from the moon casting their dancing shapes through his living room as the door swung open. Gary padded his way to Bobby, a seemingly chiding “meow” ringing throughout the house. Bobby offered his furry friend the best smile he could before heading up to his room. He couldn’t muster the energy to pretend he was just fine anymore. He was the opposite of fine.

And he didn’t know if it was Patrick’s betrayal of Bobby, or Bobby’s betrayal of Patrick. Was there any way it could be both, because if Bobby couldn’t answer that question, he’d just wind up blaming himself, and only himself. Maybe that was actually the case.

He crawled onto his bed, allowing his mind to roam free, reliving days in the sun with Pat, swimming in the ocean as children, ice cream cones melting and making small hands sticky. And the place he once was so proud to live in was now a projected hologram, stilted in its image as it tried to hold itself together. He saw people he once thought to be accepting now openly discriminate against Sandy for not being native. People interrupted Edward more than they normally did, and tore down any shred of confidence Bobby thought he had. And his boss lost himself to his unending hunger for money, even in a time when it might not even matter anymore. Not that Bobby ever thought it did, because he was always raised to believe that you could struggle to pay bills and put food on the table, but you could still be happier than people who were careless with their own earnings. All it took was surrounding yourself with the right people.

And so he was disappointed, any sparkling image of his town dulled with the reality of the world. Sure, it was sad, but there was ultimately nothing he could actually do about that. He had tried and people will only work on themselves if they want to get better.

Gary leapt onto the bed quietly, and laid himself ontop of Bobby, purring. Bobby thought maybe his furry faced friend was trying to heal him in his own way, and Bobby rubbed the top of Gary’s head, fighting back the strong urge to cry.

But the tears came anyway, sliding down the sides of his face, because he just missed his buddy so bad. And yeah, Patrick was only two houses away, but nothing said he was wanted there, and what if he wasn’t there anyway? Patrick had new friends, new bonds and better light in his life.

And for all his kindness and sociability with his fellow peers, Bobby really only had a few people he would actually consider his friends. And even fewer he’d consider his best friends. Gary gently hopped off Bobby and onto the bed, seemingly sensing that Bobby was thinking of getting up. His cat’s intuition scared him sometimes, but he scratched behind Gary’s ears, before walking to his closet.

Even in the heat of the summer, he was still inexplicably cold, so he dug out a hoodie— unsurprisingly, one of Pat’s— and slid it on. He left the hoodie sitting on his head, because if he didn’t think about it too much, it kinda felt like someone was holding him in an embrace.

Leaving his room, he climbed up the stairs and onto his roof. The wind blew, gently moving the small curls of hair off his forehead. And two houses down, the lights were on. Soft music was carried to Bobby, but it was also possible for that to have come from Edwards house, not Patrick’s.

Bobby turned, knowing if he continued to stare, he might see something that would hurt. He remembered a day he was here with Patrick. The whole town had been avoiding Bobby, and he couldn’t figure out why they were. Patrick had been the only one to not avoid him, and when he came to the conclusion that it was because Bobby was unattractive, he had encouraged the smaller boy to be proud.

Pat had dragged him up to the roof, and instructed him to yell he was ugly and proud for the whole world, so there would never be a person who could use that to demean him. With shaking hands and alone this time, Bobby tilted his head to the sky “I should have been better.” He shouted it for the whole world to hear, but more importantly, hoped that Patrick had heard it too, and that he would know that Bobby meant it for him.

He dropped to his knees again, and lied down on the top of his roof. All the anger and frustration was definitely gone by now, and he was left with the crushing feeling of numbing sorrow. Bobby was just barely able to register the music coming to a stop, crickets chirping their way to break the silence before it could get too quiet.

Unlike earlier, he had no encouragement to sit up anymore, no reason to. And in all honesty, he could very well just sleep here, under the stars. But after a while, he picked himself off the ground anyways, and to the shower, because if the world was to end tomorrow, the least he could do was start off his day right.

And when the sun shone the next morning, Bobby was severely underprepared. If he just closed his eyes, would time stop for him? He supposed it didn’t really matter, Sandy was probably already waiting, or fighting her way through racist people anyways, the least he could do is try to meet her.

Climbing a volcano was harder than he had originally thought. The higher they went, the hotter it got, and the more frequently they had to take a break. The air was thin, and he had to force himself to not look down, because if he did, he’d freak out, and that just was not something they could afford right now. Not with the day going from afternoon to late afternoon. They didn’t have time to waste.

So when his foot caught in between some rocks, Bobby considered telling Sandy to just keep pushing forwards without him. Tumbling rocks separated them, but thankfully they missed him. He could just barely hear Sandy calling his name, and hoped she could hear him shout for her.

Bobby was unfortunately aware of the large boulder running down the volcano, speeding towards him. Heart beating in his chest, he shut his eyes, wishing he could at least have apologized to Pat.

When he opened his eyes, it was only in confusion, because he didn’t feel a thing, so either it was a quick death, or…

He gasped. “Patrick!” Bobby made the mistake of looking down, and clung closer to Pat after realizing he was floating through the air. “And you have Sandy’s jetpack!”

Pat set him down next to Sandy and fidgeted, nervous for some reason unbeknownst to Bobby. “Can we talk, privately for just a minute?” Pat asked, and Sandy waved over in some other direction, quickly asking for this to be a genuinely small talk. “I heard what you said last night.” Bobby’s blood turned to ice, because he thought that maybe Pat was here to tell Bobby he was ready to just put everything behind them because it wasn’t worth it. He just wanted to move on.

“Oh, uhm, about that…” Bobby wasn’t really sure what to say, or how to say it. “I believe it. I should have been better and I shouldn’t have said anything to begin with.” He looked away, taking a small, heartbroken step back.

Patrick moved forward to match Bobby’s step back, and shook his head with a sad smile on his face. “No, you don’t get it,” He began, “I should have been better, too. We both said things that weren’t true just to hurt the other.”

“I never wanted to lose you,” Bobby whispered, tears in his eyes. “And when you started walking off, I guess I panicked. But that doesn’t excuse what I said. And I wish I had never even said any of it because none of it is true.”

“It’s alright. I got caught up in the idea of being a hero in my own right, and I let myself be distracted by false promises.” Patrick shrugged, and pulled Bobby into a hug.

Bobby’s heart pounded in his chest, partially from relief and happiness, and partly due to the overwhelming urge to just say the words rocketing their way through his head. “I love you so much.” It came out muffled against Patrick, but he wasn’t willing to let go of Patrick. His companion held him tighter, whispering the sentiment right back to Bobby.

All asks

Holy shit, this will be so much fun B-) *cracks knuckles*

Ask me: FANDOM EDITION

A - Your current OTP

Uhhh pff,,, skeleton dance I think?? I mean sure, skelley dance is always my current OTP, ngl. They're basically made for eachother, hell, even craig himself wore tshirts and stuff with wander hugging hater ifthisisn'tcannonthenidkwhatitis

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

To be honest,, wander x beza. I used to dislike every wander x girl ship bcs I see him as gae and nothing else. But I have a friend who does lots of art with them so I think it grew on me more and more with time?? Now I think they would look cute together, even if i'm still not super big on it.

C - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will

Wnder x domi. No comment, I despise it with all my heart 😂😂 Like I said earlier, I don't like most of wander x girl ships, and domi really hates wander. Sooo this ship simply doesn't make sense to me,, lmfao.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t

I think Twi x Flash from mlp. Yeah, I thought twi was cute when crushing on him in the 1st EG movie but they don't seem to have that chemistry I was hoping for. Plus I haven't seen any recent episodes of mlp in a long time, though I heard ppl say that he was mean to her once, if I remember well? Anyways, doesn't work so much for me.

E - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

Besides memes/ shitposts, not really. Check @gunxball if you want to see posts of mine back when I was into gumball 2 yrs ago (golly i miss those times)

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

Probably su (2016-2019) or kid vs kat (2011-2014)

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Why yes, of course I do. cosmo x wanda from fop. They were so adorbs together esp in the first 2 seasons. Don't like how they got so flanderized with time, their dynamic was absolutely destroyed, and my day was ruined when I found out.

H - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series

I don't watch either lolol

But I think anime.

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

Dislike the fandom, not the show itself? Probably hzbin hotel. The show has a pretty neat concept and animation and it had such a big impact on my artstyle when I first watched it. But the fandom? Absolute hell. (pun intended)

From shipping wars, to pestering vivz, anything is possible. Glad I haven't actually interacted with that part of the fandom.

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

Not a show but among us. Back in september/october last year, my tl was FILLED with among us, up and down. Made me a lil tired of it but once I tried playing that game, I couldn't stop. Also the owlhouse, fell in love with the artstyle and story.

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

I don't have a current fandom. Not feeling in the mood + school + inactivity bcs of school. So I'll say abt my latest fandom, which was animaney. Well, people were really nice, and they seemed to enjoy the reboot. Nothing more to say tbh,,

L - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for

Ummm I don't really like giving rqs to my fave artists, i don't wanna bother them haha

M - Your favorite fanart or fanartist

I don't know aaaa, prolly toonipi but she also draws ocs, not just fanart.

N - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor

Anything cute or sappy with skelleydance (NO nsfw)

O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

Lasers and feelings. Skellydance again. It matches sO well-

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

I used to have a skatepark AU ft. su chars but never put anything over here. I still have the sketches from 9th grade lmao.

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

To be completely honest, Amydot. Up until s3 they really gave me possible ship vibes. They interacted a lot, and peri discovered her metal powers thanks to amy. But after s3 they hardly ever interacted anymore (besides that one ep from s5 with the kindergarden). I was so dissapointed, but hey lapdot isn't so bad anyway, right?

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

Back in 2014 I would have said chred from angry birds, definitely. Not many really shipped them, and when I saw some fanart of them on dA everyone would say "ew, gae". Well, 2014 everyone. I was always like "so?? i like that ship, what's the problem??"

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon

Uhmm, i headcanon darwin from tawog that he likes to yodel lol

T - If you mostly have homoships, do you have any heteroships

I think my ships are 50-50, but here are some examples:

Larsdie

Stevnnie

Blckeye

Fluttrcord

Beeckard

Starc0

Tanyamao

Foxodile

Pennball

Carwin

U - If you mostly have heteroships, do you have any homoships

Same as T. Another examples:

Skelleydance

Wnderingeye

Sylava

Lumty

Rupphre

Pearlmthyst

Badgrmao

Bubbline

Flutterdsh

Patbob

V - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping

Lol no. Tbh, i'm not super big on shipping either. I only slighty like/dislike any ship i listed earlier (with the exception of skelleydance, i'm too in love with that ship)

W - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

wakko warner (animaney)

wander (woy)

fluttershy (mlp)

amethyst (su)

bubbles (ppg)

X - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

skelleydance (woy)

lumty (toh)

stevnnie (su)

Y - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from

kid cosmic (or maybe I do ship papa g w/ chuck), animaney, okko, gravity flls

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go

That one fan made episode from su called the smothering, it was so freaking amazing. It helped a lot in relieveing the pain of that big hiatus from 2017 (which was the biggest one, i literally turned into a skeleton waiting for new eps). Loved peri's needy personality, as well as lappy's playful one. It was so well written, like it could be perfectly fit as a role reversal episode in the main show.

[coconut-edits]

submitting spongebob for the ask meme if thats okay

Hell yeah, best boy.

Favourite thing about them: Can everything be an answer?? I love how optimistic and childish he is, how he isn't afraid to express joy in the things he loves. Also I love when he sticks up for himself, he needs to do it more tbh. I just think he is very neat and lovely and I would die for him if need be.

Least favourite thing about them: How oblivious he can be at times, like in A Pal for Gary where he blames Gary over his new pet. I think that's mostly fault of the writers since unlikable character traits were rampant during 5-8.

Favourite line:

Squid: The world is a horrible place filled with fear, suffering and despair, and you didn't believe me!

Sponge: I still don't!

(Ik he only says a little bit in the quote but it makes me lose my mind everytime.)

brOTP: Patrick, Sandy, Squidward and Pearl.

OTP: Patbob....... Squidbob is second place tho. Or the alternative Patsquidbob polyam ship.

nOTP: Pearlbob. He's an adult and she's like 16 <//3 that's her uncle bro. Also him x Mr. Krabs since he's like a 2nd father to him.

Random headcanon: he's genderfluid no i don't take criticism /lh

Unpopular opinion: I don't think he's annoying at all tbh, he's just cute. Idk if that's an unpopular opinion though?? I do dislike when people treat him or call him a child. He's an adult, he just has childish interests.

Song i associate with them: I can't think of one so just listen to his musical song [Not a] Simple Sponge it goes hard.

Favourite picture of them:

I just think it's funny.

[armorabs]

hhhHHHHH spongeboy ahoy (spongebob) for the list thing

favorite thing about them - his kindness and optimism while being perfectly aware of the reality around him (in some episodes at least) and snarky tendencies that result from that. he often puts on a brave face and cheers on everyone around him even when things aren’t always looking the best and he’s aware it isn’t always appreciated. and he does his best to not let it get the better of him and always tries to look on the bright side. he has goofy, “childish” interests and mannerisms and he tends to take pride in them and not let others take his happiness from him.

least favorite thing about them - maybe his repetitiveness. i get it and i’m fine with it most of the time, but there are some eps where it’s a bit much. and sometimes he’s a little too overbearing but i think as long as a narrative doesnt go out of its way to justify and reward him for being overbearing, i don’t have any problem with it at all.

favorite line - i don’t even know how he shaves

brOTP - the team of tres, and spongebob’s familial bonds with mr. krabs and pearl!!! i know he’s got biological parents who are still around but i love the fact that he sees krabs as a secondary father and krabs sees him as the son he never had... and pearl as his little sister... so good

OTP - i love patbob and kennybob and spongetuna so much its unreal. i know those last two are obscure, the last one definitely has almost no basis, but i CARE THEM 

nOTP - plnkb/b and sq/dbob like theyre fine but i just dont... care for them in a romantic capacity at all

random headcanon - spongebob went to CULINARY SCHOOL!!!!!!! burgers and sandwiches are just his favorite foods to prepare and tends to default to those

unpopular opinion - i do not ... like... the way fandom spaces tend to treat spongebob as a result of the combination of his perceived childishness, or his confirmed asexuality... da ableism and homophobia :v:

song i associate with them - its hard not to associate him with ocean man and its harder to think of anything else

favorite picture of them -

[yzy-starpants]

The inner machinations of Patrick’s mind are indeed an enigma XD

From S9E18a, “The Fishbowl”, when Patrick imagines what it’s like to be IN CHARGE

[goofy-goober-groupie]

Hi, could you please do Spongebob and maybe Squiddy for the "send me a character and I'll list" thing? :) I would be so happy if you did!

Of course I’ve gotta do both because I love them so much! I’ve put it under a read more because I take these way to seriously and write a lot lol <3 Enjoy!

Spongebob Squarepants

-Favorite thing about them:

His overwhelming kindness and sense of optimism on life is something I highly admire. It’s so endearing to see a character that holds so much empathy for the people around him and how he is able to offer forgiveness to anyone in need of it. He tries to see the best in everyone and even if someone is being mean to him, he continues to treat them with sincere kindness

-Least favorite thing about them:

Although I appreciate his efforts, Spongebob can definitely be a bit overbearing at times and can lose track of certain personal boundaries. It is not out of any malice though, it is more so just innocent mistakes

-Favorite line:

“I’m so lucky, got nothing to do! I could spend two hours just tying my shoe.”

-brOTP:

Patbob for life! If you were to look up the term “best friends” in the dictionary, a picture of them would show up as the example. I feel as if they’re basically brothers at this point. I love that the show focuses on both the ups and downs of their relationship, and really demonstrates that a perfect friendship can still have its bad days. I love them so much!

-OTP:

I’ve got two! My number one is definitely Squidbob, but I also have a soft spot for Spandy. Squidward and Spongebob’s dynamic is so interesting, and I’m such a sucker for the sort of ‘enemies to lovers’ trope (even though I know Spongebob definitely has never seen Squidward as an enemy lol). As for Spandy, I love the idea of Spongebob having a little crush on Sandy. I more so like the idea of them together in the musical version, but I also can definitely see it in the cartoon as well

-nOTP

I guess Plankbob? I love their interactions as friends but I can’t ever see them being together at all

-Random headcanon:

I have way too many random headcanons for Sponge but one of them is that he hosts book clubs in his huge library a few times a month that both Karen and Squidward attend. He sets up chairs in a circle by his fireplace and makes little snacks like cookies, mini sandwiches, and tea for people to have while they discuss the books they read!

-Unpopular opinion: 

I never really know what to write for an unpopular opinion but I guess maybe that he’s a lot smarter than he’s perceived? Of course he’s shown to be slightly smarter than Pat in the show, but I like to think that he’s definitely smarter than the show makes him out to be- another headcanon that I have ties into this- when it’s tax season, Squidward and Patrick have Spongebob do their taxes because he’s really good at it lol

-Song I associate with them:

Flutes of the Chi by Ween

-Favorite picture of them:

Squidward Tentacles

-Favorite thing about them:

I appreciate his dedication to his dreams. Despite the fact that he’s still stuck in a job that he doesn’t like, dealing with people always putting him down, and not getting any recognition for his art, Squidward continues to hold tight to his dreams and keeps making his art. Besides Spongebob, he’s his own biggest supporter and he believes in his art and music. 

-Least favorite thing about them:

Probably when he takes it a bit too far with being mean to Spongebob, I always feel so bad for Sponge and I hate that Squidward hurts him like that sometimes (but I know for the most part he’s not intentionally trying to physically hurt Sponge to that extent)

-Favorite line:

“You’re killing me, Spongebob, haha! You really are.”

-brOTP:

I love the relationship that Krabs and Squidward have. At this point they’re basically like family. Their interactions with each other are hilarious as well, and I love when Squidward acts as Mr. Krab’s petty bitch friend lol. Squidward always tries to act like he can’t stand Krabs’s antics, but deep down he sees him as family.

-OTP:

Squidbob all the way! 

-nOTP:

I don’t really have any for Squidward! He hasn’t interacted much with others for me to have a definite notp.

-Random headcanon:

I couldn’t decide between my favorite two that I have so I’m gonna share them both! My first headcanon is that Squidward was the one to teach Pearl how to do makeup when she first asked about it, and he was the one to show her how to draw her signature heart lip shape. My other favorite headcanon is that occasionally Squidward and Mr. Krabs will go on short weekend trips together to take a break from Spongebob lol

-Unpopular opinion: 

I’m not sure how unpopular this opinion is but I’m actually really into Squidward’s art! When I get my first apartment I’m definitely gonna be getting prints of some of his paintings to hang on the walls

-Song I associate with them:

Doctor Worm by They Might Be Giants funnily enough since they also wrote Squidward’s song in the musical :D

-Favorite picture of them:

Thank you so much for asking! <3

[reallyhardy]

SPONGEBOB & SANDY + touch.

[squiddytentacles]

if you’re still doing the domestic ship ask meme, could you do patbob?

OF COUSE, ANON, I LIVE FOR THIS STUFF

PATBOB

who reaches out to new neighbors

Spongebob does, but Patricks the first one to really get in their space and know them.

who remembers to buy healthy food

100% mr. squarepants. he can’t get enough of health foods - he likes a proper balance to his consistent diet of krabby patties... whereas....

who remembers to buy junk food

patrick accumulates junk food like it’s his purpose in life.

like, spongebob’s the dedicated shopper, but somehow patrick will end up with stuff spongebob definitely didn’t buy, and patrick hasn’t gone to the store that week - and it wasn’t there yesterday..........................

who fixes the oven when it breaks

spongebob has it handled, but patrick is excited to help!!

who waters the plants/feeds their pet(s)

Spongebob does most of the keeping things alive stuff around the house. 

who wakes up earlier

SPONGEBOB. patrick has the incredible ability to sleep through his alarm clock too.

who makes the bed

spongebob does, really pristinely, but only his side of the bed. patrick’s side is..................

who makes the coffee

They’re not really coffee people??? imo? 

who burns breakfast

mr. star - BUT ONLY WHEN HE’S BEING WATCHED

how do they let each other know they’re leaving the house

spongebob’s jovial and affectionate - a kiss to patrick’s forehead because he likes to see the guy smile. usually it’s because he’s heading to work so he’ll give patrick a suggestion on something to do so he doesn’t spend all day watchin tv or something.

and then for patrick, he likes to tell spongebob what he’s going to do, but he’ll get confused and end up taking awhile and spongebob’s smile and all soft, like like “don’t forget you have to go, pat” and patrick’s like “oh, heh-yeah, you’re right, bye, spongebob, i love you!” 

and spongebob’s like “YEAH! I LOVE YOU TOO!”

how do they greet each other when one of them gets home

secret best friend handshake, a lot of enthusiasm over what they did over the day - and excited plans for how they’re going to spend their night, or what they’ll have for dinner. and midway through whatever they’re doing patrick will be like “oh yeah *kiss* i’m/you’re home!” 

who brings home little gifts like flowers/chocolates more often

spongebob is more likely to surprise patrick with edible gifts - whereas patrick likes to get spongebob little trinkets that remind patrick of his bestie and life partner.

who picks the movie for movie night

spongebob usually ends up picking the movie, patrick’s a big indecisive - although half the time he’ll get grumpy like “aw!! i wanted to pick the movie!” so spongebob’s all goodnatured like “okay, patrick!” and waits patiently as patrick looks at the movie titles they have and has a mental dilemma on what to watch. then spongebob’ll cough and be like “that one” and patrick will choose that one.

their favorite kind of movie to watch

MERMAID MAN AND BARNACLE BOY!!! and general cartoons or superhero action color-overload movies.

who first suggests a pillow fort

they say it at THE EXACT SAME TIME!!

who builds the pillow fort

spongebob makes the functional parts of it, and patrick makes a few, like, stacks.

who tries to distract the other during the move

Patrick for sure, he’s very opinionated about what he watches, and likes to spark an intelligent debate. 

who falls asleep first

Patrick can fall sleep anytime, anywhere. spongebob’s not far after, though, but he has to do a whole routine before he feels good enough to go to bed on a regular night.

who is big spoon/little spoon

usually, spongebob starts the big spoon but wakes up the little spoon

THANK YOU ANON

[fanbun]

A very Patbob ep.

I also liked how Patrick became a celebrity and still cared about Spongebob and wanted to spend time with him.

Episode: Goodbye, Krabby Patty?

[colonel-insomniac]

So there’s not that much anywhere for Patbob Spongerick, and while it is not necessarily mentioned outright, I decided to take it upon myself to add to the community. Let me know what you think!!!

——————————————

“You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off of you…”

Bobby Porous danced to Frank Sinatra’s cover of the song I Love You Baby. In his mind, the music was all pinks and greens, flowers and their leaves, maybe a little hint of gold, too.

He’d been listening to the song on a loop for the past hour and a half, and so consequently, his hair was sticking slightly to his forhead. The strands pressed to his forehead had turned from their natural shade of burnt orange to a coppery kind of red-orange admist the sweat.

“At long last love has arrived, And I thank God I’m alive…”

Bobby supposed that it wasn’t really dancing; he mainly was jumping around his living room, spinning around the room, and weird arm gestures that weren’t really anything. He was having fun though, and really, that was all that mattered to him.

It’d been a couple days since the volcano incident, and Bobby tried his best not to remember those two days, and preferred to push them to the back of his mind. He had to deal with the nightmares at night, on his own. But he had Gary, so maybe he wasn’t really alone. The day the volcano was supposed to erupt, he told the citizens of his beach town that he wasn’t scared, that as long as they had each other, they’d be fine, but he was terrified. Sandy looked like a shell of her former self, Patrick looked scared and stayed as close to Bobby as he could, his hand seeking out some sort of contact from him. As for Bobby, he just knew his face was smudged with dirt and soot, streaked with tears and sweat.

He wasn’t sure where that left him with his friends, when they didn’t burn alive. Yeah, they’d held the concert in celebration of not…dying, and even Edward had praised Bobby, but he wasn’t sure what was happening in the world around him. After the concert ended, he managed to slip away while everyone was distracted, and hid himself away in his home. After those two days, he needed the alone time, and since then, he hasn’t left the house. He hasn’t turned on the TV, or checked any of his messages, or updates on social media, nothing.

And well, here he is, trying to heal from the horrors of facing his mortality. He’d downloaded the song to his phone as a result of the echoes of the song in his head, the earworm whispering the tune as he hummed along to what he could remember of the chorus.

“The sight of you leaves me weak, there are no words left to speak…”

And so he danced. Not good, but no one was watching him, so what did it matter?

Thoughts of his best friend just kept flooding his mind, and thinking of Pat with Sinatra’s singing made Bobby feel a desperation that just kept clawing at him. It made his heart beat faster, and made him feel like he needed to go to Patrick. He so badly wanted to let himself loose, running until he reached Pat’s house, just two houses down. But everytime he got to the door, he couldn’t bring himself to open the door just yet.

God, it left him so conflicted, and every single time, he had to take the music with him to the bathroom where he just sat under the spray of hot water. It killed the mood, leaving Bobby numb. It didn’t help that his phone screen lit up with a message from Pat at least once an hour. Bobby’s stomach churned with nerves mixed with the longing to respond and just invite Pat over, pretend that nothing happened. He felt guilty, though he shouldn’t, and it made it almost impossible not to cry.

“Oh pretty baby, don’t bring me down I pray…”

Three and a half knocks on a door echoed through Bobby’s house, a code between him and Pat, so they knew it was the other. For a split second, Bobby forgot that he gave Pat a spare key, and hoped that maybe Pat forgot, too. He wasn’t ready to face him yet.

But maybe Bobby’s luck was all used up when they defeated the volcano, when the heat licked Bobby’s face in waves as he dropped the Eruptor Interrupter into the bright orang-yellow lava. Bobby reaches out of his curled postition and reaches towards the faucet, and makes the water searingly cold. It soothes the phantom heat when he thinks about that day.

Footsteps grow louder outside, and Bobby knows from the gait that it has to be Patrick. The shower curtain jerks close, but only after his sweet Gary hops onto the ledge at the back of the tub, away from the water.

“Now that I’ve found you stay, and let me love you, baby, let me love you…”

“Bobby?” Pat’s voice rings in Bobby’s head, the first voice he’s heard in days, apart from his own and Sinatra’s.

Bobby’s breath catches in his throat, a dry sob. “Are you okay, buddy?” Pat asks, approaching the curtain but sitting on the ground and leaning his back against the tub.

“Yeah.” his voice is a whisper, probably inaudible to Pat over the sound of water hitting the floor of the tub. So he repeats the word a little louder.

“I haven’t…you haven’t talked to me in days and I was—scared. I don’t know what I thought but…I wouldn’t blame you if you’re still mad at me, you know?” Patrick’s thoughts stumble over each other in Bobby’s mind, tripping over one another as he tries to get to the one that’s most important to him.

“I’m not mad.” Bobby says, simply, knowing he won’t leave it at that. Bobby’s been told he has issues with being quiet. “I just….” He trails off, thinking.

“You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. Just thought maybe I oughta stop pitying myself when you didn’t reach out to me and check on you face to face.” Pat sounds unsure of himself, and it makes Bobby’s heart splinter.

“It’s just that it’s been hard, since…y’know, and I can’t stop thinking all the time.” Bobby lowers his head and rests it on a knee, watching the water lap at his toes before going down the drain.

“I wanna hold you so much, at long last love has arrived…”

A hand appears in the tub from the outside, and Bobby’s eyes focus on that, knowing that the hand belongs to Pat. Hesitantly, he reaches over and places his small hand inside his best friends bigger one. Bobby always thought their hands fit like pieces in a puzzle, they belong together, whether it be as best friends or more. Bobby thinks he’d be scared to take that leap, if it came to that.

“Jeez, Sponge,” Pat uses his nickname for Bobby. Sponge, because he takes everything from everyone— “your hand’s freezing. You have to get out of there before you die.”

That manages to tease a small laugh out of Bobby, because even he knows that isn’t possible. “It helps.” He replies when Pat turns the water off. He’d had to search for a bit before he found the faucet, probably because Pat didn’t wanna invade Bobby’s privacy like that. “I always feel like the heat from the volcano is still searing my skin.”

The curtain is flung open, and a towel chucked his way. Bobby notices Pat is looking straight up at the ceiling, away from Bobby. That scares Bobby, and makes his eyes brim with tears. Bobby tells himself he’s being irrational, but that doesn’t stop him from feeling. He buries his face in his towel and wraps it around his freckled body when he’s dry. Only then does Pat look at him for the first time in days.

“I love you baby, and if it’s quite alright, I need you baby…”

“Bobby, look in the mirror, your lips are blue.” Bobby glances at his reflection and immediately thinks of the Coral Blue Number 2 Semi-Gloss Lipstick, a joke from the time he, Squidward, and Mr Krabs went on a celebration vacation. He smiles slightly at the memory, a wisp of a good thought crossing his face in the mirror.

“Bobby?” He shifts his eyes towards Pat’s reflection, listening. “Go get dressed. You’re naked and in a towel.” Pat states, and Bobby smiles, the first one in days. Gary follows close behind as Bobby takes the brief walk to his room, and throws on the first pair of PJ shorts and shirts that his hand touches. For the first time in what seems to be forever, Bobby doesn’t even care if they match or not.

“Star?” Bobby calls out to Patrick, the nickname slipping out of habit.

“In the library.” Pat’s voice calls out. Spongebob honestly doesn’t know how he managed to get a library in his house, but it definitely was the most expensive part of his house. He wanted to create a space that felt safe, while also allowing him to keep up with his obsession with collecting books.

Bobby notes how filled the shelves are, a couple spaces left. It makes him wonder what will come next, after all this.

“Trust in me when I say…”

He doesn’t want this to be it for him and Pat. They came this far, and Pat was likely still beating himself up over leaving Bobby in the first place. There’s no reason he shouldn’t just forgive Pat right now.

It’s been days, he needs to make up his mind.

“So….” Bobby starts, unsure of what to say, but knowing he was only slightly uncomfortable.

Patrick doesn’t say anything, just opens his arms. An invitation.

Bobby feels as though time has frozen. He wonders what would happen if he walked away now. Was time actually frozen, or were things processing slowly, just like when Pat saved him on the volcano?

This is a decision that Bobby knows will either reinforce their feelings or have them walk away, on two separate paths. This is a leap, not a step, not a jump. It’s a leap of faith, and like Sandy said, “If you wait, it’s too late, you’re defeated.”

It’s like trying to jump over a chasm. Terrifying, heading into the unknown.

Bobby walks forward, towards Pat. As soon as he’s able, Pat’s arms wrap around Bobby, whose cheek rests on Patrick’s chest. Pat rests his chin on the top of Bobby’s head. Suddenly, it’s as though Bobby knows that it’s okay that not everything is fine.

“I’m so sorry.” He mutters to Pat.

“You don’t need to be, buddy, I was the one who made the mistake, not you, and I promise that I’ll never do it again.”

Bobby feels his face warm up, and finally, finally something else other than guilt and desperate sorrow fill him. He hugs Pat tighter.

When they separate, they find their hand is holding the others.

Bobby bites his bottom lip in thought, eyebrows scrunching together as Pat looks at him, curiosity laced in his eyes. Eventually, Bobby nods, a small smile gracing his face as he shares what he imagines Sinatra would agree with—sharing music means you need to project it from what you’re feeling.

Bobby sings the song this time, imagining the music surrounding him, finally bringing the color back to the world.

“And let me love you baby…”

“Pat, I love you.” Bobby says, when he finishes the final note.

“Love you too, Bobby.” Pat replies, smiling when Bobby stands on tiptoe and places a kiss on Pat’s cheek.

“Let me love you….”

Dance Practice on Thursday: a Spongebob One-Shot

I wrote this oneshot fic on a SBTM (spongebob the musical) Discord in December of 2018, and I really had fun writing it!

DISCLAIMER:

I’m not exactly a Squidbob shipper personally, I’m more of a Team or Tres, or Patbob kinda person myself, but I respect other folks’ ships, as long as they’re within moral standing. I did not write this to be Squidbob, but if you’d like to see it as Squidbob, that’s a-okay with me!

dance practice on thursday

words: 524

characters: 3124

Out of all the dance partners he could have been with, Squidward was stuck with Spongebob. This was supposed to be the role of a lifetime, but now he was trapped onstage with...

Him.

Sponge was currently laughing to himself in the large wall mirror of the dance studio, making faces and in Squid’s eyes- generally being stupid.

“Come on, Spongebob, the recital is in two weeks!” Squidward shouted, startling Sponge, who snapped to attention.

“Okay! I just want you to know, I’m super excited to be your partner!” He beamed that gap toothed smile of his. Squid rolled his eyes with a huff.

“Two weeks, Spongebob, two weeks.” He reiterated and cleared his throat. “Now, the first move we need to do is-”

Squidward glanced over. Spongebob was twirling around, humming his own little tune. Squid, the trained dancer, sighed. Sponge’s form was perfect, he just wasn’t doing what he was supposed to.

“Spongebob!” Squidward’s yelling caused Spongebob to come to a screeching halt.

“Sorry, was I not on full relevé?” He responded, rolling the r, and rising to his tippy-toes.

“No, Spongebob, you just aren’t doing the choreography.” Squidward responded, completely monotonous. “Now then, can we please move forward?”

Squidward pushed the button on the stereo, and began the combination. As soon as he was cast, he had watched the reference tapes so much, he could watch it when he closed his eyes. As for Spongebob, he watched them, but the music was so soft. Well, it seemed more like the reference tapes watched him.

“Um, Squidward? I was wondering if maybe you could slow down a little bit? you’re moving so fast, and I can’t see.” He tapped his fingertips together.

Squidward stopped, and sighed, arms akimbo. “Look. I’ll do it, but you have to keep quiet, and pay close attention. okay?”

“Got it!” Sponge pretended to zip his mouth shut, and gave a tight lipped smile.

Squidward took a deep breath, and started the choreography again, this time, giving Spongebob the side eye, making sure he was still focused. and he was, to some degree.

“Here comes the difficult part.” Squidward pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Oh, oh! Is it like a combination spin-jump-twirl-split?” Spongebob asked, excitedly, then slapped a hand over his mouth, remembering his deal.

“No, we’ve got to dance...” Squid shuddered. “together.”

“Together?!” Spongebob abandoned the zipper promise and exploded, his voice reverberating off the dance room walls. Squidward grabbed him firmly by the shoulders.

“Yes, together-” Squid hissed through his teeth. “and if you mess this up for me, there’s no telling what I’ll do.”

Sponge nodded quietly and gave him the okay sign. Squidward backed up from the mirror, and began to dance. The couple times that Spongebob was able to stay awake during the tape came in handy as he started to move to the music- and Squidward wasn’t yelling at him! Spongebob grinned, and put more power into his moves.

He ran over, and with a mighty spin-jump-twirl-split, Sponge ended up on Squidward’s side of the floor. He wasn’t completely sure, but Spongebob had a feeling that he saw a small smile crack on the usually frustrated artist’s face.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it!
