i disagree since normal!medic is based on normal spongebob
which i always found vaguely unsettling, so i amped it up. normal!medic is based around the idea of pretending to be normal for the sake of fitting in better with society. he doesn’t truly understand the standard of normal so what he presents himself as is a hyperbole of what is normal and is therefore warped. it’s also a sort of mask that hides his true nature. though his actions may not show he has ill intent, there is always something off and that makes it unsettling.
canon medic is candid and doesn’t hide who he is even if he does have a few screws loose. that’s part of his appeal. “this is me, take it or leave it. i don’t care”, essentially.
