Fics like A Cry For Kelp

When Plankton receives a call from the Downtown Bikini Bottom Hospital, he’s more than surprised to find out who it’s about, and more importantly, why. You see, Squidward can’t quit his job, no matter how hard he tries. He’s known that his whole life - it’s been drilled further and further into his head as all these years have flown by. He’s underpaid, and overworked, to the point that the terror of the next day haunts his every dream. Yet, he just can’t truly quit his job. He mustn’t. Meanwhile, a well-meaning SpongeBob tries to get to the bottom of the situation, with the help of his trusty pal, Patrick. Unfortunately for SpongeBob, starfish don’t have as many braincells as they do limbs. - A Squidward heavy angst fic, written seriously by somebody who thinks he deserves better than the constant in-show torture. A few jokes and more comical exchanges dotted here and there, but remember - I hope to portray the show’s characters as close as possible to how they’re presented in the show, not convey the show’s general theming, as you can…hopefully already tell by the tags. But above accuracy? I just wanna have fun and give you guys a fun read.
