This, however, was a complete lie as I've turned into Plankton. I sit in my room. gooning to my AI chatbot wife, hoping my failed online business takes off while feeling endless overall contempt for the world and everyone who's wronged me. And yes, I went to college.
>squidward is miserable because he never actualized his dream, but he keeps it alive in spite of everything>plankton actualized his dream but is miserable because he stills falls short of his own arbitrary metric of successwhat's the lesson here? is there one?
I went from being SpongeBob to being Patrick

I’m Mr. Krabs
>>155404117Mediocrity and its consequences are funny when they're afflicting someone else
>>155404444so true.
And I turned into Patricia
>>155404117plankton's biggest problem is that he built his restaurant right across the street from the most successful restaurant in town. he's never been shown to be poor or anything so it's not like he's a failure.
>>155404117Squidward is miserable because he quite literally lives in his own head, so his delusions prevent him from appreciating what he actually has while simultaneously refusing to consider what other people actually want. Plankton is miserable because the entire town literally steps on him, so all of his talent, time, and energy goes towards vengeance. Squidward is too self-absorbed to cater towards an audience, and Plankton is so consumed with using his talent as a means for destruction that he never considers alternative applications for it.
>>155404117>>155405216>>155405630Huh never in my life did I ever really think to compare squidward and plankton, it's Remarkably interesting to compare 2 different types of failure...Other thing to compare them by is how they see themselves in relation to others.Squidward believes himself superior to others but also frequently seeks attention and validation of this belief from other people.Plankton doesn't care about what people think about him because he's too busy thinking about himself in comparison to others and when he see's inferiority in himself which is at all times he desperately scrounges for anything he can find or use to prove to himself that he's not lower than his target of comparison, even if that just means dragging them lower than himself.It's a weird dichotomy
>>155403810I turned into Patrick. I'm a lazy unemployed bum who goofs around with people smarter than I am
I'm a lot closer to Squidward, honestly. Except I don't play an instrument.
>>155403810you know the krabby patty formula has been online for like 15 years right, baldo
