Spongebag is the het ship between Spongy and Barf Bag from the Battle for Dream Island fandom.
Canon[]
After being teased by others, Barf Bag turns to Spongy and asks if he will take her seriously. When he says so, Barf Bag is relieved to have found someone. Later when Lollipop declines her offer to team up and insults her, Barf Bag is offended and teams up with Spongy instead since he likes her presence. During the challenge, Barf Bag and Bracelety use Spongy to bounce Naily up to the basket and then to launch the basket to X.
When Team Ice Cube! positions themselves on their swing set, Barf Bag gets in front of Spongy and uses her vomit to propel them up.
During the impostor challenge when Firey Jr. doubts Barf Bag, she turns to who she thinks is Spongy to back her up. Naily points out how Spongy has sat there the whole time, causing Barf Bag to defend him and getting Spongy to agree with her. After their team loses, Barf Bag is surprised when she sees Spongy turn into Tree who was controlling his mind throughout the challenge. The real Spongy scolds his team for not noticing that he was replaced and asks them if they know anything about him. Barf Bag tries to assure him but he does not believe her.
Barf Bag spends the entirety of the beginning of next episode tries to make it up to Spongy. After sailing a paper airplane in a pool with him, she wants to call it a day after almost drowning and pointing out how they didn't have permission to use Four's paper airplanes in the first place. Spongy takes it as her not believing in him to which she tries further showing her support. When Taco calls for her in the distance, she emphasizes how she's not going to forget about Spongy. While talking with her, she says she's busy with Spongy as she pulls the plane he's riding out of the pool. After Taco leaves, Barf Bag apologizes and offers to play table tennis with him.
While escaping the buried forest, Barf Bag tells Spongy to run up the hill and flop onto the grass. After Bomby runs up onto his back to make it to the exit, Barf Bag and Donut use him as a platform to escape. Afterwards, she and the rest of the team try to pull him up which proves harder than she thought. Later when Spongy denies access of his private jet to the rest of his team, he cites them not knowing he was replaced in the impostor challenge as one of the reasons. Barf Bag is saddened by this, hoping that they would've made up for that. After Gelatin and Bomby make it up to the surface, she sarcastically thanks Spongy for giving them a ride.
Fanon[]
The ship was a popular pairing for Barf Bag and Spongy during the run of the fourth season. Shippers enjoyed the friendship being sparked early in the season especially since Barf Bag seemed to be one of the first people to genuinely care about Spongy despite his long run in the show. Because of the initial support, much ship art of the two was made throughout the fandom mainly on DeviantArt. As their friendship weakened in the season and hasn't been developed afterwards, hype for the ship died down in the years following. A Tumblr analysis blog points out how they were only brought together since they were sharing an initial struggle yet the way they further handled it tore them apart. The ship is currently rivaled by Barfnut (Barf Bag x Donut) although it still remains a fairly popular ship for Spongy.
On AO3, there are two works for the tag. It is the most written ship for Spongy and the second most for Barf Bag, behind her ship with Donut.
