Caracal Unit

sandy is just straight up one of the guys. there are no episodes about her being forced to be feminine, or having "girl problems" she gets mocked for, and the episodes she DOES have with the other female characters in the later seasons are also not focused solely on the concept of being female (the gal pals is one of my favorite things to come out of new spongebob actually)

she gets to be feminine and masculine and walks the tightrope beautifully. she actually gets jokes and good lines and funny moments. outside of the pitch bible and a couple of tie-in books, she's never been spongebob's Designated Girlfriend. the show has almost never tried to push that either! she is a main anchor of the cast and does not just exist to fill a quota or be someone's prop. she has realistic flaws and an incredibly defined personality

and like, i think sandy lowkey paved the way for shows to have more girl characters like this. i said in the beginning i want more, but i can also list some older and current ones that do the same thing; rottmnt, arthur, kids next door, billy & mandy, hey arnold, the loud house, and like tons more.

It took me three hours to make this and I am not disappointed🤭

Best friend tasked me with drawing these three like they were taking a family photo
