My Guardian Angel (Angel!Link x Religious!Reader Oneshots) PART 3

The Adult Life Of A Squid

"I was busy, trying to forget about this place 'til you woke me up. That's gotta violate a lot of health codes. It doesn't matter what you want me to do. That yeti story is a complete and total crock! You can believe in whatever garbage you want to. You will eat me if I am lazy. The sound of my own flesh is sizzling to a crisp?" (Episode: 'Yeti Krabs')

"Great...the idiot found me. If you want to help so badly, why don't you just go volunteer to be a candy striper? There's a plenty of other people in the hospital you could torture. You IDIOT! This isn't even close to what I wanted!" (Episode: 'Code Yellow')

"It wasn't an insult. It was a tribute. Haven't you ever heard of imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? That's it! Exactly...it's my homage and your love for money. I just can't stand the perfect impression of me anymore! I've never thought I'd say this, but I am tired of looking at myself. I QUIT!!" (Episode: 'Mimic Madness')

"Thank you for completely failing our future generations with your donation. I'd like to perform a few tests to verify its authenticity. I've allowed some seriously ridiculous items today, but this is where I draw the line. The future is the same as my old pathetic life! I'm waiting another 50 years! Forget this! Dig me out when my life doesn't stink." (Episode: 'Buried In Time') - Squidward Tentacles

Your POV

Why adulthood is totally boring and complicated to understand? I can't say 'no' to that much. There are millions and billions of grown-ups I can count, as if were fish species in the deep blue sea. The waters are shallow beneath the big tidal waves.

To me, adults are like big heads and have tentacles for arms and legs due to 24 hours of business. In which things don't go in our ways. First, we start from being jolly and happy as a child. No worries, excitement, optimism, joy and fun times. However, there is one problem to that topic.

As we become older, we missed our childish selves and that is why life isn't the same as our generation today. We all get busier, stressful from work, lots of problems and so on. The existence is just unbearable and full of suffering for about 11 minutes, 40 years to be exact.

That's what I felt adulthood is like. I hate going on a daily routine. Waking up early, eat healthy, movie marathon, grocery shopping...etc. The negative side is being a victim of abuse, beaten up by bullies, bad luck, sheer torture as karma for a punishment...etc.

Those things concerns me, I don't know why. But when I grew up to be an adult, my whole life just isn't as fascinating as this. Times are tough alright. Although, it doesn't even matter at all right now. The bane of my existence is nothing but a complete mess.

The world around me is like the vast ocean. I drowned all my sorrows and keep my emotions in bottles. Being stranded on an island where I can be all alone, just to prevent me from the outside. The place where I cannot stand any longer, cruel and miserable.

I don't feel like growing up. The only problem is I'm just too sad...about my existence. What if I never brought to this earth at all? Of course, I do have these slimy tentacles like a grumpy old man who works all day and night. Yes, I too am the 'Squidward' of the group.

However, there are two things wrong with that. First, I am a grown-up. And second, I do have a mind of a child. I realized why I turned into Squidward. If I were just like him, I used to hate everyone. Tell nonsensical bad jokes, give them mean messages, criticisms and sarcastic responses.

This place is totally idiotic, for the love of Neptune's sake! A relatable cartoon character who have influenced in the real world and life lessons. A miserable person with 'bold and brash' talent but everyone dislikes, especially when you are not popular enough. And lastly, the worst neighbor so full of hatred.
