(This can be for any of the characters) What do you NOT miss about Bikini Bottom?
Wander’s kindness to children (and one he thought was a child) always touches my soul. It’s always refreshing to see a flamboyant male character be sensitive, emotional, and very good with kids. Especially considering Wander bears titles such as “hippie,” “cowboy,” “fugitive,” and “outlaw.” He lives such a tough and rugged lifestyle, but is nothing but a kind soul.
Every time i see Wander interact with kids, it makes me think about how he just wants to make those around him have what he didn’t growing up: care and compassion (at least according to my lore). I always find myself thinking about his childhood, how lonely he was and how desperately he needed love and help. So now, he relishes to give it to other children.
Just something that gives me good feels.

forgot to share a funny i did

Thinking about robots exchanging parts as intimacy.
Robot partners who are compatible enough they can swap out parts at will. It starts with just a few smaller spare internals, and theres just something... comfortable about having a piece of their lover inside them.
Then it's an optic, so they can see the world- and each other, through their partner's eyes. They look in the mirror and their new optic notes all of the things their partner finds wonderful about them.
Then they're exchanging plates, patches of false skin and sensors and even limbs, melding together, growing more and more familiar, until eventually they decide to take the final possible step.
Two machines sitting across from each other, outer plating shed around them in small piles, revealing their complex inner machinery, wires patched together in slightly different colors, lit by the gentle orange glow of a power core. Trey stare into their partner's mismatched eyes, mirroring theirs as they inch closer.
A familiar hand reaches into their chest, and they feel cool metal enclose around their power core.
Click.
They shake slightly as their senses begin to go dark, and warning lights flash inside their mind. Counting down the time until their reserve power runs out.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
they stare into their partner's dimming eyes as their other hand reaches back until their chest, feeling around to find the right place..
five, four, three, two...
Click.
Two machines sit in each other's arms, overwhelmed by what they've just done, kept alive by each other's humming artificial hearts.
i see some people liked my wander doodles
so here's a coloring test i did with some limited colors of markers, pencils and highlighters

"In bringing together Kurt Cobain's 'most poignant lyrics and journal fragments' to demonstrate the ways in which both writing and reading about melancholy can be life-affirming, Saint-Aubin has created a wonderful memorial not only to Cobain's troubled genius but especially to his profound humaneness."
Neil Nehring, author of Popular Music, Gender, and Postmodernism: Anger Is an Energy
The year 2019 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain, an artist whose music, words, and images continue to move millions of fans worldwide. As the first academic study that provides a literary analysis of Cobain's creative writings, Arthur Flannigan Saint-Aubin's The Pleasures of Death: Kurt Cobain's Masochistic and Melancholic Persona approaches the journals and songs crafted by Nirvana's iconic front man from the perspective of cultural theory and psychoanalytic aesthetics.
Saint-Aubin discusses Cobain's writings independently of the artist's biography, positioning these texts within the tradition of postmodern representations of masculinity in twentieth-century American fiction, while also suggesting connections to European Romantic traditions from the nineteenth century that postulate a relation between melancholy (or depression) and creativity. In turn, through Saint-Aubin's elegant analysis, Cobain's creative writings illuminate contradictions and inconsistencies within psychoanalytic theory itself concerning the intersection of masculin-ity, masochism, melancholy, and the death drive.
By foregrounding Cobain's ability to challenge coextensive links between gender, sexuality, and race, The Pleasures of Death reveals how the cultural politics and aesthetics of this tragic icon's works align with feminist strategies, invite queer readings, and perform antiracist critiques of American culture.
Arthur Flannigan Saint-Aubin is professor of French at Occidental College, where he teaches courses in Francophone literatures and seminars on the theory and practice of translation. His books include The Memoirs of Toussaint and Isaac Louverture:
Representing the Black Masculine Subject in Narratives of Mourning and Loss.
