#squidville

[josephthesnailshow]

Alright, listen, so I was watching a video by Seabass and they brought something up which confused me as well about the Spongebob episode, Squidville, and I have the same things to say- uh...

when it got to this specific part, uh.. can someone tell me what the hell this is???

The official spongebob wiki makes no mention of this-

AND NOT TO MENTION...THE TRANSCRIPT LABELS IT AS "OTHER THINGS" 💀

Apparently, my parents were paying for a cellular plan on an iPad their provider threw in when I bought a new phone. Since I removed it, they officially do not pay anything on my behalf.

i actually don't like friendiversary that much outside of conceptually but i want to because i think the premise was great. it could have been spongebob's Squidville

"Remember that time in highschool when--" no I don't hope this helps

I’m noticing that Squidward could care less about Patrick, but it’s a completely different story with SpongeBob 👀

In Idiot Box, Patrick is clearly screaming and “in pain”, yet Squidward is only worried about SpongeBob…? 👀

In Squidville, Squidward only misses SpongeBob

In SB-129, he yet again only misses SpongeBob

He shared an intimate handhold with SpongeBob vs a basic handhold with Patrick

In Jellyfishing he literally forgot Patrick’s name. Of course, he remembers SpongeBob’s

My absolute FAVORITE example of this theme is in Naughty Nautical Neighbors when Squidward was giving them pop, Patrick kept asking and asking for some yet Squidward ignored him and gave some to SpongeBob as if he’s his top priority

Soooo… it seems like Squidward cares more about SpongeBob. In fact, it seems like the ONLY person he cares about is SpongeBob… 👀

Every instance red guy gets to reintegrate with the other red guys is kinda like when squidward goes to squidville and then fucking hates it there

[maxbytes]

the spongebob episode "squidville" perfectly demonstrates the cosmic horror of the concept of heaven

Denji really entered his Squidward in Squidville era this chapter huh?

Part 3: Reigisa & SquidBob: The Similarities

Now that we know a bit more about our heroes in love, it's time to get to the fun part of this post: ✨their similarities as a couple ✨

If you've seen either show, you know they're both surrounded by water constantly - just in vastly different ways.

However, the similarities go deeper than the water's surface. 🕵️🌊

Their relationship dynamic

I've mentioned this throughout the masterpost thus far, but I believe this is the biggest thing each ship has in common. The trope they both fall under has a dynamic that plays out something like this:

Sunshine meets grump

Grump is annoyed by sunshine

Grump tries to get away from sunshine but the latter won't give up on them

Grump and sunshine are brought together - either by circumstance or resignation

Sunshine wins grump over

While we've seen this scenario play out somewhat differently between Reigisa and SquidBob (which I'll discuss in the next post), it all comes down to them growing closer over time and - eventually - working together, finding commonalities, and genuinely enjoying each other's company despite their personality differences.

Rei could barely stand Nagisa at first because of his obnoxious personality and habits, but is now completely besotted by Nagisa and has found himself wrapped around his finger (which I'll showcase in a bit).

Squidward has openly expressed on occasion how he "hates" Spongebob, only for his true, more positive feelings to come out when it really counts (see the post after this one). There's a reason he sticks around, even though he's frequently annoyed by Spongebob's antics.

There are times when both Nagisa and Spongebob take it a bit too far, resulting in them invading Rei and Squidward's personal space. Not being the most mature characters around, it's likely these two just don't know how to express their love in a normal fashion - at least, at first. Though, as I've said in the previous posts, they've definitely learned how to actually flirt with them rather than creep them out.

Before:

After:

Before:

After:

Nagisa, smirking: "Oh, Rei-chan! You're so popular!"

And you know Squidward and Rei love it. Which brings me to my next point...

They are lost without each other

No matter how much the grump in the relationship has tried to hide from the light, they always finding themselves coming right back.

I mean, take this extremely gay interview with Rei, for example. He essentially confesses that despite being put off by Nagisa's pushiness at first, Nagisa has "an aura that [he's] attracted to" and "he has [Rei] completely wrapped around his finger."

I mean, does that NOT sound like a certain octopus that we know?

Let's take the episode, "Squidville," for example. It's a running gag at this point that Squidward never seems to leave Conch Street, despite being evidently annoyed by Spongebob's (and Patrick's) antics. But in this episode, he actually does leave... at least for a little while. And at first, he enjoys being surrounded by other octopi. Octopi that are just. Like. Him.

But as you can tell, the monotony of it all gets old pretty quickly. He soon finds that he... misses Spongebob. (YT won't let me clip the vid, so just play at 3:00). He's... lost without him.

Squidward: *sulking* *Reef blower in the distance* Squidward, eagerly: "Spongebob?"

So, naturally, he comes crawling (or flying) right back to where he belongs. And never seems to attempt this again (at least not in a longer-term capacity).

What was Spongebob doing during this whole thing, you ask? Why looking for Squidward to convince him to come back, of course!

Speaking of Spongebob, he sees Squidward as his boyfriend one of his best friends, and is determined to stay by his side - no matter what. In "To SquarePants or Not to Squarepants," he literally pulls out a reel of photos he took with Squidward, which is just one of the many examples of his need to be close to him at all times. It's as if he would be lost without him.

I mean, look at how absolutely giddy he is just being in Squidward's very presence.

It's worth noting that, even with his friendliness and exuberance, Spongebob never acts like this with anyone else. (He really seems to like showering with Squidward, for some reason 🚿👀)

Flipping back to Reigisa for a moment. Remember how I mentioned that Rei is basically stuck on Nagisa like glue? And how Nagisa was the reason he joined the swim club in the first place? Well, in the episode, "A Resolution's Heads-Up!", Nagisa's parents urge him to quit the swim club due to his poor grades. This upsets Nagisa to the point where he runs away from home. Obviously, his friends are concerned, but no one is more concerned about him than Rei Ryugazaki.

Some angst and romantic tension later, it all cumulates into this very gay moment where Rei, Makoto, and Haru confront Nagisa at the pool. Nagisa is still very distraught about the situation but Rei assures him they'll talk to his parents. Rei is determined not to let Nagisa leave... the team.

Yeah. Super gay.

As for Nagisa, he is obviously very clingy of Rei and there are various instances of that. One in particular that comes to mind is the episode, "The Butterfly of Farewell!"

In this episode, it's kind of the opposite situation in which Nagisa & co. think Rei is going to leave the swim club because of him speaking with the track team captain and generally being sneaky. Again, obviously their friends are concerned about this, but no one is more concerned about it that Nagisa Hazuki.

Well, actually, Nagisa is even more concerned about Rei possibly having a girlfriend (it's literally you, dumbass).

Anyway, this all leads to another very gay scene in which Nagisa and the team end up confronting him about his behavior. Well, mostly Nagisa. Everyone else just kinda stands there and is like "Rei what were you doin'?"

THAT BLUSH. WE SEE YOU.

But, don't worry! It all ended being a misunderstanding. Rei was actually getting swim lessons from Rin, but didn't want to tell the rest of the team so he could surprise them with his new skills. 🥹🏊‍♂️

To sum it all up, Reigisa & SquidBob are both gay as fuck and can't live without each other. 🌈

Squidville au made by @anonyb0b

I made fan squip characters

(These designs take place after they join the rebellion)

I love these two so much

Knowing Cindy she probably was their friend once but after him taking over an entire town she doesn't see him as friends anymore

I imagine these two figuring things out they became a romantic couple and it made Jeremy and his friends happy for them but little uncomfortable, it's like seeing your parents flirt when you're seven

[violetrose-art]

Stranger: I've seen more alert people in a retirement home.

Squidward: Oh, which way to the Living Without a Brain seminar? Don't be late!

Stranger: I've heard better comebacks from a turkey sandwich. Get a life!

Squidward: This place is better than I expected!

[parme-san]

spent my whole morning thinking about all the ways sb-129 and squidville are my favorite episodes and how they both center around the absence of/squidwards search to escape spingleborb and how much squidward ultimately hates and fears living in a world without him and also how in a meta sense squidward cannot ever exist outside spongebob's life because the show is about spongebob. so what i'm saying is squidbob saturday is BACK ON baby
