Fan Fiction Story Time - October #1 - Can a Sponge and An Octopus Fall in Love?

time to hit play and start eating lunch! surely i will not question this decision!

About 6 minutes... The way IKE said "YUP" about SpongeBob's library, like "do you even know anything about the source material??"

This is the only one that I don’t relisten to, because it’s the only one that’s actually so gross that I don’t enjoy it. Way, way too much forced cuteness.

Fun fact, squidward is, in fact, an octopus. Steven hillenburg said "the name octoward just sounds awkward, and animating 8 limbs was harder than animating 6. So he's an octopus" yet they kept the name squidward since it rolls off the tongue better and fits well with the marine life asthetic

Legitimately towards the end I was anticipating Spongebob dying during child birth, dunno what that say about me

The thing is, the thing IS... it's a very well-crafted story lol The characters and their motivations are well established, with a nice, if tropish, arc for Squidward. The sex scenes are visceral and non-repetitive. There's an acceptable amount of typos-to-length, cause even wonderful betas can't catch everything. The whole story is explorative and believable, even the dialogue is in character (thank you Arin for helping set the scene). Not the best, not even in the realm of the worst if you've been on fanfic sites for 20+ years 🤣 So 👏👏👏 to the author.

This made me burst out laughing. Keep up the good work!

GUYS. Squidward definitely has 8 tentacles! Think about it! His nose and his penis are the other two tentacles! That's how he's an octopus!

I made it to 9:30. That's enough for me

You know how some people have that thing where they can’t form images in their mind? Aphantasia? I wish I had that right now.

Every sentence is a new hell

I really do not like the author knows octopus have mating arms. Please make this end. Help. I’m being held hostage by this story.

It’s been two seconds of the story and already this is for some reason the worst one yet. Nope. Please. Make it stop. I cannot.

Overhearing this story made my girlfriend run out of the room

Someone needs to take this story out back and shoot it

I CANT with this one om howling

These fanfics just get worse and worse the better written they are 😂

Of all the fics they’ve read, this one hurt my soul the most😭and the pictures used did NOT make it better😭😭😭

I’ve been sober for months but this made me want to drink.

420 likes, NO ONE ELSE HIT THE HEART BUTTON!

Y'know, this one is actually written decently well, it's just the subject matter that makes it awkward. I didn't grow up watching SpongeBob, so it probably also isn't as uncomfortable for me as others.

when arin said NOOOOO i felt that

Jeeeeeesus WEPT

Honestly though, Claire kind of adorable

I can physically feel each of my organs independently contracting as I watch this.

I REALLY wish I had not decided to eat dinner during this because I almost threw up XD

Bro... this had me laughing so hard... please... tell me that SpongeBob orgasm will be a reoccurring bit. Squidward Gooned! It's so sweet... and also like just wow XD

I want my ringtone to be arin auditioning the spongebob orgasm.

"Push, Mr. Squarepants!" Is probably the greatest three word opening of all time, good lord

I hope someone walks up to Arin at a Game Grumps event, dressed as SpongeBob going "Uhhhh~" as they approach him.

Watching this baked af

The sound effects that arin is doing are cooking me

Please read the rest of this story, RIP regretful reads

This would be a great way to get answers from cia spies

I think Dan's gonna need therapy before he can ever watch Spongebob again.

did they ever read any of supermega saves the troops

I had to turn this off and resume watching the next day because my SpongeBob loving husband was home and I could not possibly make him suffer through this

I audibly went “oh no…” after hearing this was about SpongeBob. Not my booooy 😭

I HATE how many pages are left and in only at 7 minutes Edit: Dear god they’re DOUBLE SIDED?!? 😭

i think we killed dan with this one

The fact that the editor was able to find that Scrabble stock vid is impressive (unless it's AI)

Jesus...... this. This was different

It might be my mental illness talking, but I said "aww" a lot more often than anything else listening to this

Not to flex, but I generally have a very strong constitution.. But spending the last 30+ minutes.... there's no other word aside from enduring, I endured that story! My... I'm a different man after that story... Not a better man for it, I'm just a different man. Now I miss the guy I was 30 minutes ago, and I hated that guy.

I remember Regretful Reads covering this story years ago, so it's already iconic in my mind. I cackled the whole way through this reading!

secondhand embarrasment has never been so painful and so comedic

my entire life has lead to this moment

I RAN to this video when I saw the preview on IG

This series is so degenerate 😂 its amazing "Im gonna pre, SpongeBob!"

Thanks, guys. I hate it

Dan’s “dude trust me” gestures at 20:41 killed me

As entertaining as this is, maybe the next one can be non-pornographic, just to shake things up

listening to fanfiction while writing fanfiction.... could life be any better than this?

This is the kind of content I joined Patreon for.

I am going to disintegrate

Peter what is this?

bonecrunchingly harrowing watch, thanks boys

I just took a shower and I feel like I need to take another one now

I'm different after hearing this one...

The ethereal music real drives this reading home lmao

As a writer, you have an endless sea of possibilities to explore. And yet the author chose to write this.

I need to stop watching these at work

aw man, i have a niece named Claire don’t do that to me 💀

"I don't understand. the story is called "can a sponge and an octopus fall in love"? ...His name is SQUIDward" According to the late Steven Hillenburg. the reason he is called squidward is "because Squidward sounds better than Octoward"

love that in chapter 2 the motivation for the sex scene is legitimately that squidward forgot to make dessert and needed to distract spongebob

...so does subscribing to the patreon void my right to sue for mental damages, or

i don’t think watching this after taking an edible was a good idea

You know, I somehow managed to dissasociate thru and just not connect the image of spongebob and squidward in this... but then they showed the fan art and it all came crashing in

Squidward is a pillow princess! I can’t buy into this world.

Why did I think it was a good idea to watch this while I ate lunch?

As I was listening to this, the realization hit me that I am paying money for this

Guess the author was unaware about what happens to male octopods after mating…

words cannot describe what it felt like to make it through this whole thing only to learn it shared my fucking name

get out of my head

This being posted directly after the pregnancy foods power hour is diabolical

30:00 Author studied the lore enough to know Squidward is an octopus but somehow forgot about the infamous cussing episode

I’ve never been more repulsed in my life

Well, that’s my childhood ruined

If this writer was a TRUE fan then instead of saying “fuck” SpongeBob would’ve started making dolphin sounds

Ugh. The thought of Spongebob and Squidward fking is absolutely repulsive to me 😂 "Squiddy" is just... Ughhh. I thought I HATED the piss one but this...

It’s days like this I really miss my immortal

They managed to do it, it took awhile, but they finally broke Arin.

To be clear I'm gay as hell and this still made me so uncomfortable. 😂 Though Arin's random, "I wonder what Patrick's up to?" fucking killed me.

Loved it

Despite everything else in this video, I think "muh'fucker loves readin'..." made me laugh the hardest.

I'm in so much pain, physically and most DEFINITELY mentally

Wow, I've seen all of your fanfiction storytime episodes and this was one of the hardest ones to get through LOL

Now, this.... This is what Daddy came for.

We just started and the first lines are explicit lmao

honestly this is incredibly tame. like there's actual victorian smut more wild than this

Anyone else feel personally victimised by this fic?

Arin giving the sound effects is way too funny 🤣 reminds me of the Sonic fanfic they read on Sonic Unleashed. When Arin made a splurge noise and Dan broke down 😂

Arin's "deep" spongebob moan has me fucking CRYING. Dan, I know you really suffered for this one but it is such a treasure. Thank you 😂

I remember regretfulreads reading this story, it’s a whole series please keep going I need it all

Tuning in to every episode like "Alright, what brand of freak am I gonna disover today?"

Started the fanfic cutting out collage pictures at my desk. Ended the fanfic sitting on the edge of the bed, head in my hands like a man who just lost everything in a card game.

that was rough but funny, love the grumps reactions

It's so well-researched... the guy knows about the library; he hasn't just seen one or two episodes, he actually knows the show... yowzers.

The impression Arin was doing of Spongebob's guttural moaning had me actually in tears omg 😭

I reacted so viscerally to this. Holy fucking shit…

i hate the way my brain tried to fill in spongebob type sound effects when they described certain things lol.

Wow. That opening line. No build up? Just straight to fuckin. Respect XD

I love that dan can't handle this fic, this is one of the TAMEST things ive heard in a hot minute

I can only wonder just how much time goes into making the intro for these videos unique for each one.

Funny some people can't stomach this one, when it's just a story about two people that love each other. To me, Sonic assaulting Amy last time was a harder sit.

I hate Mpreg, but strangely, I didn't think this fanfic was that bad. It's way less disgusting than the Kokichi piss fics or the E.T. x Elliot smut.

I can watch a lot while eating. I got through the 10MPH milk episode. I couldn't get through this one.

“A pity she does not exist A shame he’s not a f@g The only girl I’ve ever loved Was SpongeBob in Drag” -Squidward Tentacles, 2025

This one is fuckin digusting :/

Arin's intermittent SpongeBob moans really added to the experience in ways I can't fully articulate

*Ralph Wiggum voice" haha, I'm in danger!

I legitmately feel like I'm about to have a fucking panic attack or some shit from hearing everything that's in this video. I'm like hyperventilating without control, I got the cold sweats and my hands are trembling so much that it's proving extremely difficult to just write this comment. What the fuck is going on, I legitimately cannot decide if I love this or hate this, like should I even be paying money for this shit? I don't even know anymore

I just joined the patreon and spent the last few days watching all of FFST, and now I'm treated with this. Best $5 I ever spent

Seeing the thumbnail and reading the title the only thing I could think was "Ooooooooooh noooooooooo..."

Have they read the full life Chronicles?? The half life fan fic??? If not...

I have read many a fanfiction in my time on this planet but man this one did a number on me 🤣

I definitely cant un-hear this....

im so glad we paused the horrible, horrible sex to get a fun fact about squidward

I... can't with this one 😑

This was INSANE. I also am shocked the biological accuracy this author went into.

That was the worst on yet and I love it...more please

I feel emotionally manipulated by that one.

Wow... im a different person now.

35 mintues of this

Hey so that was the worst thing I have ever heard please keep doing it

whoever submitted this… why.

As soon as we got to the phone call I had to pause the video to post. Sponge Bob is pregnant. EDIT: I guessed right :(

What a horrible day to have ears.

Arin’s intermittent guttural SpongeBob moans have me DYING 🤣💀

He put his thingy in the you-know-what!

Holy shit I didn’t think y’all would actually pick this, thank you so much-I used to listen to regretful reads read this all the time, and now having you guys read it is so amazing <3 Also sincere apologies to everyone lol

I had my doubts listening to this on full blast at work, but now everyone passes me and yells HARDER SQUIDDY so that’s a win in my book

Fuck yes!

I'm so ready

Are you tasting my osculum Mr. Krabs?

I CAN EAT LUNCH NOW YIPPEE
