Random thing but why doesn't the spongebob marketing team try to profit off the aesthetic of older spongebob? And I don't mean like that 2-3 bright colors look because they are milking it with the memes.

Before I explain, this thought came to me while browsing on instagram and looking through posts on the spongebob instagram blog because I have no life and I'm avoiding doing 3 assignments at 2am. Context is important.

Anyways they have a spongebob shop in their bio linked so I checked it out. It was the cheapest and most basic ass spongebob merchandise imaginable. Of course it should be obvious since ~Nickelodeon~ has been milking Spongebob well into I was born so.

Most of it is just Spongebobs face slapped onto stuff, meme figurines, or generic stuff that would have been popular in 2012 like "like a bawse" and a boring overused black and yellow aesthetic or trying to copy the popular summery pineapple aesthetic that has been popular in 2015.

I think the only thing interesting was the spongebob vintage horror movie parody tote bags (probably because I love vintage horror movies), but from my knowledge, the art were originally created for posters to sell at the spongebob shop at the universal studios theme park or whatever. The art was just repurposed so it wasn't super interesting.

The worst part is how overpriced they are. Tiny meme figurine costing close to $30. Why? Because its a collectors item or something?

Anyways I'm going off topic, I would buy generic spongebob stuff because I'm boo boo the fool but that's not the point, anyways, looking through this stuff did cause a thought to pop in my head. All this stuff is so generic, its so weird considering how unique spongebob actually is.

Especially looking at the generic black and yellow spongebob aesthetic merch, or just any sort of generic popular aesthetic they managed to shoehorn spongebob in that doesn't fit in. Why don't they use the aesthetic in the show?

I don't know if I can properly explain this but spongebob, particularly first season spongebob had such a unique look and feel with its colors and background art, it just created its own feeling and style. The darker and less saturated colors, plus the very striking reds, I'm not sure how to properly explain but I'll leave pictures.

As a kid I couldnt tell what was the difference between spongebob, season to season. I knew something was off and different especially with the early seasons vs the later ones, but one I could always identify was the first season.

They were slower paced, darker colors, the more greens and less vibrant blues, and the striking bright red that would occasionally come up (which have you ever noticed was a common thing in 90s cartoons, most colors are very desaturated but the red always looked so bold?) Even the show itself just had a calmer vibe. I always associated it with a Sunday afternoon, there's nothing to do, the sun is shining bright even though its evening. Its a weird feeling like time doesn't exist and spongebob is on. Its the only show you're really interested in watching and its just so slow and mellow?

Maybe its just me but it just felt like that. Even now when I look at it, it just reminds me of being a kid, the sun is shining so bright through the window but you can't go out, you try to use your imagination to make up and play games, time feels like its moving so slowly. Its peaceful. As a kid it probably bored you to death but as an adult it holds a nostalgia factor that can certainly be capitalized on (why? Because I'm an asshole with ideas xD)

They can take that calming mellow feel of the first season, the backgrounds, the colors, like a slow peaceful summers day with nothing to do and sell merch of that.

It can create its own new popular aesthetic to sell and stuff. Another thing about the first season is the use of unique backgrounds. The floral patterns and such just tie it together nicely. Though that can be slightly problematic since that was from (not the sky flowers but the title card art inspired by native Hawaiian art and tiki art) profiting off marginalized cultures and stuff. That's a topic for another day. That be nickelodeon tho.

Idk its just a loose thought. If anyone has something to share then I'm open to hearing it. This is just some late night thoughts hence why its a mess so I apologize for my writing.

i cant believe it hasnt been asked yet but,,, the li's getting jelaous hcs

Alexa, play Jealous by Nick Jonas 😌

Cipactli:

Cipactli is not a man to get jealous easily…sometimes…but when he does prepare for the clingiest boyfriend E V E R!

What is personal space? He doesn’t know her.

When I tell you he will be all up in your space, he will be all up in your space. He won’t stop at nothing short of placing his hand in the small of your back, random kisses when he knows that the person desiring you is looking. “Come here love, look at me, you’re beautiful.” as he proceeds to grab your chin and give you the deepest kiss trailing down your neck as he stares at the person sending them a message “They are mine”. If looks could kill.

Mukondi:

If you look up the definition of petty in the dictionary you’ll find Mukondi’s face with a deadpan stare.

As petty as they come, her jealousy is a nightmare to endure. If you guys aren’t together you can bet that she’ll just talk smack about the person making goggly eyes at you and mocking them by imitating everything they say *insert Spongebob meme here*

If you are a couple then the jealousy takes on a different form. She shuts down and gives you the silent treatment. She will not talk to you until it’s just you and her and you’re basically at your wits end.

Ariki:

Ariki can go two ways in the jealousy department. Smart ass or sad ass.

When Ariki senses that the person eyeing you is making you feel uncomfortable he will become the cockiest, snarkiest, most passive aggressive person. You rarely see this side of him and his behavior is strictly directed at the person speaking to you; he carries this air of calmness as he begins his holier than thou behavior that sometimes may get him heated and you would need to calm and cool him down.

On the other hand, like every humanoid creature that walks this earth, he has some insecurities that bloom when you respond well to a person he knows is trying to make a move on you. He picks up lilts, tones, shift, and shuffles in your voices and movements that might make him feel less than and you have to pick up the tiny pieces of his heart and put them back together MY PRECIOUS BOI

Dior:

Much like Mukondi, they will be very petty. The differences between them is that Dior will find receipts and D E S T R O Y the person who dares look at you in any way that may be affectionate.

Dior has resources and they will use said resources to berate whoever tries to make a move on you. Their jealousy translates into a very possessive and almost unhealthy nature that may test the limits of the relationship. You might even need to take a break from each other in order to save it and through it all Dior would never admit that they were jealous.

Eventually, when things simmer down, and the object of Dior’s annoyance is gone you reconcile and talk in a civil manner. In the end Dior may or may not admit that jealousy had something to do with the transpired events.

Waauru:

*Kill Bill sirens play in the distance*

Get ready for heavy PDA and seeing Waauru act the nicest she’s acted towards anyone…..while giving them a backhanded compliment….or just a straight up insult.

It’s an all out, all bets are off and every filter that she has on to “deal” with people goes straight out the window. Waauru will look at the person flirting with you to their face and tell them they look like a burnt chicken nugget all while sporting the brightest smile. The good thing about her knew found “bluntness” is that she becomes very forward with you and very aware of what she’s feeling and experiencing and basically spills out every emotion she’s feeling unto you. Knowing how she feels will make you both work together as you get through this small bump in your relationship. Communication is key ya’ll .

Halle:

*halle.EXE has stopped working*

He genuinely does not know how to feel, all he knows is that he doesn’t like it. This is his first official relationship and from what little knowledge he has about them jealousy is high on his list of things that are not good to feel. Because of this, however, he is extremely good at communicating with you. Like Waauru, he confides every single detail to you even though he tries really hard to hide those feelings.

Even after you have both talked, when said person trying to get your attention appears within the vicinity Halle will automatically get behind you and stare that person down. The only thing that will break his concentration is feeling you physically touch him.

Taqtu:

Taqtu starts to automatically look around to see who it is that this person is trying to flirt with cause he know for DAMN sure that they are not about to even try to get with you knowing that you have a significant other.

Listen, he will get h e a t e d and everyone and their mother will know about it. Much like Dior, it will get messy really quickly if you cannot stop Taqtu from physically fighting whoever it is that is trying to flirt with you. He is an equal opportunity fighter and the only thing that may stop him from actually throwing the first punch is if you get in between him and the object of his current hate.

This, however, can go one of two ways. First, depending on his level of anger, if you get in between them and you can get Taqtu to look at you in the eyes he may be able to cool off just enough for you to be able to pull him away. On the other hand, if Taqtu is already too far gone in the angery™ department he might wrongfully perceive you getting in the middle as a form of you defending the person trying to get your attention. That is when it really gets ugly and all you can do is walk away and let the chips fall where they may. Once everything is said and done and he sees that what he did was wrong he’ll go and find you, once he does he’s ego is so hurt that he can’t even face you in his human form so he strolls up to you after he’s shape shifted as a cat trying to make amends.

Seneca:

Let the fun begin!!!

Seneca loves playing mind tricks on people who think they could ever have a chance with you making them feel like the stupidest person in existence. Seneca is incredibly smart and he will use that to it’s fullest advantage.

The PDA is s p i c y. Be prepared for lots of booty grabbing, kisses on your temple, and deep passionate kisses. Seneca doesn’t know who you think you are but he’s all about sending this person a message, this one is mine and you CANNOT have them. At some point, Seneca will find himself alone with the individual who wanted you all to themselves and the conversation will be nothing short of anything a sociopath will do. He will stop talking to this person when he senses you walking into the room. All you see is Seneca with a smile on his face so happy to see you, and then there’s the other being trying to keep a straight face and not burst into tears.

If I may add:

- In summer, quickly walking the whole length of the train from the outside and looking inside the wagons to see if there’s one with closed windows and people wearing sweaters – it means that it’s that mythical place where the air conditioning is working. There can’t be more than one per train, or the apocalypse would happen.

- 40 degrees outside, 45 inside the train. You manage to be the first to sit in the four seats, and as such you claim the right to open the window. Ten minutes later, the woman in front of you, with a nauseatingly sweet smile “Could you close that window? It’s too windy…” ‘No, you fucking bitch, I was here first!’ is what you want to screech, but that wouldn’t be socially acceptable, so you have to muster your best fake smile and resign yourself to spending the next hour inside an oven.

- The trains come with only two temperatures: +50 °C or -20 °C, depending on the season and whether the air conditioning/heating is on. There’s no in between. You have started wondering whether Trenitalia is all an elaborate cover for an illegal traffic of tropical animals or penguins, depending on the day.

- People chimney smoking all over the platform, slowly intoxicating you. You can’t move away far enough, but if you ask them to stop you’re the rude one.

- The train is so late that it gets the following one late, too.

- There’s a person without the ticket. The ticket inspector is willing to not fine them, if they get off at the following station. They refuse to. The police has to be called, the train is delayed. You’re going to murder that person with your own bare hands.

- People listening to music without headphones at 7 am, while you’re desperately trying to review for your exam.

- That one train, at that particular time on that particular day, that is going to be twenty minutes late. There are no exceptions.

Also, one of the most memorable things that ever happened to me was two summers ago. I was going home after my last exam, and the train had been on time at first, then it started slowly accumulating delay… until at one point, it just stopped at a station. About twenty minutes later, the dreaded announcement came “Because of technical problems, this train will have to stop for twenty minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience.” It was about lunchtime, so, amidst the general grumblings, people started getting off to get something to eat at the snack machines on the platform. I had thought about doing that too, but first I had to write my mother, who would pick me up at the station. I had just sent the message, when the train started moving again. I remember raising my head and locking eyes with the boy in front of me, his features perfectly mirroring my own confusion. It hadn’t been more than two minutes since the announcement. A lot of people were still outside the train.

Italian trains are so paradoxical that my train was late but I got to university earlier

#feyna rambles #about feyna #italian things #trains #trenitalia #aka the 10th circle of hell #I'm almost at the end of university so I've had my fair share of experiences with this #but I have to admit that it has gotten a bit better in the last 2 years..#I mean the trains themselves are worse #the AC is a mythological creature #but they're a bit less late than they used to be #also I'm not usually this whiny #trains just bring out the worst of me
