Well, it’s finally time to answer the question as to who my S.pongeB.ob S/I is dating. I did also mention this was going to be a gush post, and that might run long. So, without further ado, here they are:
“Yep, that’s him!” I say, with my face equally as red. Mr. Eugene H. Krabs. This is a crush spanning multiple decades at this point. I wanna kiss this man so bad it makes me look stupid.
Disclaimer: This next part will be discussing the Early Era version of Mr. Krabs. A more concrete reference would be between S2 to around S4/S5. No flanderization, no real canon interference to be had.
Eugene is many things. Stingy. Red. A silver fox. A decorated and respected military man. But the best thing about him by far is how strong a characterization he has in the early seasons. Gruff, stubborn, clever, dedicated father and father figure to P.earl and S.pongeB.ob respectively. There are moments where he can be less than ideal, but nothing egregious. Plus, he’s voiced by C.lancy B.rown, a well-seasoned actor both on screen and behind the microphone.
As for physical traits? Again, his voice immediately comes to mind. The range alone is impressive! Eugene can go from a high-pitched panic to a low, deep rumble at the drop of a hat, and it’s so GOOD.💕💕💕 I know the ‘MOAR’ scene is a meme now, but there’s one shot where he’s lying on a table like a pinup model and I just-mmmmmm 🫣👀 And he seems like such a huggable shape too! Nice and round, perfect for Selene to wrap her arms around. 🥰🥰🥰 Not to mention strong! He did kick major tail at the Fry Cook Games and can manage to flip the entire Krusty Krab around in one swift move.
The impact Eugene has had on my life is very significant. His quotes are the ones I parrot the most out of any other SB character! I was over the moon when Cosmic Shake came out and heard him speak, which more than made up for BFBB: Rehydrated. AND they gave him funny lines?! A++, 10/10, 5 stars out of 5!
In summary, Mr. K.rabs (within certain parameters) is a sweet, caring, persevering entrepreneur/father/mentor and very handsome to boot. Selene definitely thinks the world of him and loves him immensely. ❤️
