@where-fading-princesses-live said: You make a lot of good points. But I actually enjoyed this episode all things considered, I know it’s Squidward Torture Porn but he didn’t suffer AS much and always came back in one piece. I just thought it was overall funny, not as funny as the old ones, but better than most of the new ones. How Krabs keeps restraining SB but SB always finds a way to follow Squid and bring him back? Classic Looney Tunes style humor. 

And playing up to the fact that yes, most artist’s work only became valuable after their deaths. It’s dark humor, I found it pretty witty actually. My favorite part though: SQUID: Get off of me!/ SB: I’ll never get off of you, Squidward! Idk so funny. XD I never take these episodes too seriously tho so…

i take them very seriously. these are my lifeblood. it’s canon, so i’ll analyze the shit out of it 8) it’s fun to pick them apart and get into the nitty gritty~ but no no, don’t get me wrong, i definitely enjoyed it! and you’re right, there was considerably less suffering somehow than other eps?? even though the premise was grim? rofl, i’m just glad for that. i don’t have an “old vs new” thing, i consider everything on an even playing field, and i’ve been loving these new episodes for the most part. there are some misses for me, but overall i think they’re great and the animation is gorgeous. seriously, they’re doing such an incredible job with it?? gosh. anyway, i love that spongebob always finds a way to escape <3 but yeah i LOVE THAT PART SO MUCH O M G... i must watch it again...... i need to

@yestinyjellyfish said: I can see why it’d make make you mad cuz Krabs literally tries to kill Squidward in the “nicest ways possible” but I don’t think the premise is terrible. They’re just making fun of the art market: “Performance art can’t put a price on it, because it lives in the moment” obvious nod to Yoko Ono and Andy Warhol, etc. All the old masters and even the more modern artists of the cultural revolution were only able to sell paintings after they died: Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo…

If you ask me it’s the most intelligent episode they’ve done in a loooong time. I’m as much of a Squidward fan as the next person but I wasn’t put off by the humor in this one. “Squid Baby” and “Are You Happy Now” on the other hand…

no, i know; i’m fully aware of what it’s alluding to, and i understand that -- i just still don’t like it because y’know, attempted murder and all lmao. i get that "popularity after death” a thing that happens and stuff, but... yeah. i dunno. and idk, i feel they’ve done plenty of ‘intelligent’ episodes, but hey, i’m not a very good critic xD i agree though, i too feel it was done well -- SO much better than it could’ve gone. LIGHTYEARS better. a very solid improvement from the past--

now waiT A MINUTE WHO SAID YOU COULD MENTION SQUID BABY

ILLEGAL. WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THE DEVIL’S NAME. OH GOD I’M GETTING FLASHBACKS AGAIN WHY THIS

you’re right, you’re totally right and i realized that before but i realize it even more now -sobs- GOD those were both so fucked up. god. god. i’m so glad this one didn’t go that way, because it COULD’VE. there was such dangerous potential for it to. -sniffles- they’re learning...

@ourironpersoncollectionpost said: It could have been disturbing but I think they did a good job this time it was fun and surprising and it didn’t hurt to have hinted at SquidBob

----

yeah, you’re right. they really did. i’ll need to watch it again to reassess -- it’s hard when you don’t have time to pause >.> i really did like it a lot, even if it bugged me thematically. there was so much squidbob ughHHHH <3333 i’m proud of them for taking a light and fun route rather than the fuckin’ horrifying shit they could’ve pulled. GOOD JOB, WRITERS. GOOD JOB. NOW GIVE US MORE SQUIDBOB PLEASE

i love talking to you guys about it! :D thank you for entertaining my nonsense~
