Description Kept on waiting for the Next Episodes of SpongeBob which are supposed to come out Next Year and now I have to wait a month until January (that is "The Tidal Zone") so I kept binge re-watching Greco-Roman stories and Other Foreign Myths, since I kept on writing my own headcanons about the Gods in the SpongeBob universe (including most of the Ancient Water Deities) since I headcanon that somewhere there supposed to be Seven Kings giving on how that the Sea has Seven Seas which makes a lot of sense.

Poseidon and Neptune are always one of my Favorite Characters from the Show (so Sue Me). As you may know, I love Mythology and Folklore a lot (especially Fairy Tales and even Love Stories), giving on how Poseidon and Neptune are potrayed in the Franchise, I'm always one of those people who believe that these characters are Actual Mythological Gods from Mythology (because hey, I'm one of those Nerds who have known on who they truly are and have read other different adaptations of each of the Myths and have watched some Greek-Mythology inspired stories in Media).

I also kept on watching the clips of Sponge On The Run, giving on how that Poseidon (Netpune's Greek Equivalent) is potrayed as an Antagonist (giving on how that he already was in the Mythology), there are at least a few scenes to where Poseidon acts all paranoid. And do you wanna know where his Paranoia and Immaturity came from? His Father of course. Yes, I do know, Parenting isn't all that important to most Greek Gods in Mythology when it comes to raising a Child but I always definitely grew up with the Myths and always thinking that Zeus and his Siblings have Daddy Issues (it was Cronus' Fault that he let his Last Son to get revenge on his Father and had to save his own Siblings).

Anyway, due to how Poseidon always acts Paranoid outside of his Vainity and Comedic potrayal in The Third Movie, I always headcanon that his Vanity is somehow meant to be a representation/relfection of his Lustful side towards his affairs in the Myths (much like how his Brother (Zeus) had his own affairs). But my most fair headcanon is how that whenever Poseidon acts all paranoid of others, my personal guess is that somewhere in this universe, he still had his own Childhood Days before he was devoured by his own Father...He was a Mama's Boy in his life, being very close with his Mother, Rhea. 

For those who don't know on who Poseidon's Actual Parents are (or his Actual Family). According to Greek Lore, Poseidon was the Son of The King and Queen of the Titans (which were known as the "Elder Gods"), Cronus and Rhea (Poseidon's Parents) were the Rulers of the Titans after when Cronus overthrown their Father (Uranus), he became the King of the Titans during the Golden Age where he took his Sister, Rhea, as a Wife. But when Cronus heard of the Prophecy from his Mother (Gaia) that one day, his Children will overthrow Him, the same way he did to his own Father. Cronus then started to devour and swallow his whole children that Rhea bore to him their Children (Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon), only then, did Poseidon's Mother saved his Baby Brother (Zeus) away from their Father in the Island of Crete as Zeus trained hard as he grew up to stop their Father.

It's a very disturbing history about The Real Poseidon but I have a feeling that somewhere they would at least change something from the Myths while still not being accurate towards them like how some folklore are potrayed like that in some media.

I've always wholeheartedly believe that He and his Roman Counterpart (Neptune) have Daddy Issues (which is not something that you can get through). Yet, for some reason, Poseidon seems the more Cowardly King than Neptune, which is why I belive that he is a "Mama's Boy". Throughout his Ancient Life, in the Old Days of his own Childhood, Poseidon was born a Water Deity from his Mother, Rhea (giving on how that his Brothers were different types of Deities). And before the Terrible Prophecy, I'm sure that Poseidon had his own closest moments with his Mother giving on how I think Rhea was the only one who deeply cared for her own Sons but still loved her Husband no matter how they took care of the World.

Being close with his Mother seemed very touching and I think that he still misses Her, even after the events of the Great War as I am pretty sure that the Crown that he wore on his Head (before he became his true self) is meant to resemble his Mother's own crown as I also headcanon that Poseidon made his own crown to resemble his Mother's as a remindment on who he really loved and missed her a lot. I'm sure that Poseidon did had his own Sad Days before the events of the Third Film that no one even cared because no one ever knew his true family or who the other Gods were. Maybe somewhere he missed his whole Family, his Brothers, his Nephews and Nieces, his Sisters-In-Laws, and of course, the Golden Days of his Childhood before the Horrible Prophecy changed his Whole Family.

And yes, this Woman right here that you see holding Young Poseidon is meant to be my very own interpretation of Rhea (Poseidon's Mother from the Original Greek Mythology) of how I think she would look like if she appeared in the Franchise.
