    If Patchy suffocated while buried in the sand, and then his body was taken by sea dwellers to be used as a display, then the statements that "he was buried" and also that "he was never laid to rest" are actually both true...

      The thing about theories like this is that for every time there’s something that proves the theory, there’s something that disproves the theory.

    That bit about Patchy drowning in sand and the creepy representation was terrifying. That's what this theory series is for; you're practicing film-making techniques in exposition, immersion and fear, and you're succeeding at it. But you don't have to push yourself to make these theories, be it for popularity, your arg or your practicing of techniques. If you're tired of the theories, take a break if necessary.

    There’s also another part to Patchy time traveling. For the episode “Shanghaied”, it was actually an interactive episode where fans could choose the ending(The fruit ending had the most votes). And the person who told fans to vote was literally Patchy himself. So when Patchy time traveled, he probably remembered what fans chose.

    As crazy as the flying dutchman's backstory is, I have seen the flying dutchman wearing shoes, before. In Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost, SpongeBob and Patrick find an old magazine saying, when the flying dutchman died, his body was used as a window display, and if we look at his feet, we can see him clearly wearing shoes. Maybe this is what the flying dutchman was talking about when he said he hasn't worn shoes in 5000 years. He must've meant since he's dead, he has no use for shoes, anymore.

Ntm in Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost, there's a comic book about his backstory explaining that his body was used as a mannequin. (Sorry for the long comment but this has been BOTHERING me)

    I think the muses repopulate by infecting someone, just like one did to Alex. Alex went on a huge eating frenzy and even ate raw meat, just like the muses do, as if he was feeding one. I think that when infected, a person is under some sort of mild mind control that gives them the urge to feed the muse inside them and seek someone to give the new muse to. Another reason I think that the muse uses mind control is because it spoke through Alex to Wesley just before it left his body.

    Okay I think I get it now, Alex doesn't understand how the muse works, allowing it to manipulate him. But this only goes so far as he's clearly not happy killing animals for it. The Cynical Critic has a muse too, which forced him to destroy things he loves. An allegory for this would be his scathing review of the Dark Knight, a movie which its shown he previously loved. Something he loved that he was forced to destroy, just for the attention of others. There was something about his mother too, maybe he did something to his mother that was a plot point.
    Edit: Since finishing the video i've concluded that the muse is an alien creature intent on spreading itself to willing human hosts through mental inspiration. Maybe Happy Meat Farms is in there too I dunno

    One thing I've been wondering is, how exactly did Patchy/Dutchman become a real pirate in the afterlife? Like how did he get his own ship and gain such a terrifying reputation in the afterlife? Also what's up with the whole stealing souls and Davy Jones Locker thing? That got me thinking for a moment, and I think I have my own additional theory to this... After Patchy died on that tiny island above Bikini Bottom, it's possible that Patchy met Davy Jones himself, and Davy was about to either steal Patchy's soul or send him to Davy Jones' Locker (TBH I'm not sure if Davy Jones' Locker is a gateway to purgatory or just Hell for pirates in the Spongebob universe), but then Patchy begged Davy to spare him, and he did. In fact Davy Jones allowed Patchy to live on after death as a ghost under the sea so he could finally be with Spongebob, but in return Patchy has become a slave to Davy Jones, and must carry out his deeds. In other words, Patchy has essentially met the same fate as Bootstrap Bill Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. This would explain a lot about Patchy when he obtains his new identity as the Flying Dutchman. It would explain how he got his own pirate ship and was granted official pirate status by Davy Jones himself, as well as how he gained such a reputation and is feared by all of Bikini Bottom after all the souls he stole. But not many Bikini Bottom citizens know that stealing souls and sending sinners to Davy Jones' Locker is simply just the Dutchman's job, cause Davy Jones told him to. So it's not like the Dutchman wants to do those things, he has no choice. In fact if the Dutchman fails to carry out one of Davy Jones' deeds, Davy punishes him by temporarily trapping him inside his Locker, as shown in the episode "Spongebob Vs The Big One", where Davy Jones makes his first official appearance in Spongebob, and you can see Davy tormenting the Dutchman while enjoying/laughing at his suffering. (Just look it up on RUclips and you'll see what I mean)
    Now some people may be thinking, well if the Dutchman's job is a curse and he only steals souls and sends people to Davy Jones Locker because he has to, how come he seems to enjoy tormenting people while doing it? Well, he's been doing this for a very long time, so not only has he likely developed a sense of pride in his work overtime, but considering that he's been stuck in ghostly purgatory for literally thousands of years (while under Davy Jones' eternal enslavement), it'd be no surprise if Patchy had gradually forgotten who he once was, and was eventually fully consumed by his new identity. You can see how much his personality has changed, as he has become much more hostile and mentally unstable, he's developed an obsession with scaring people (as he wants everybody to fear him just like they fear Davy Jones) that's excessive enough to rival his obsession with Spongebob (you can even see these 2 obsessions clashing together in Ghost Host), and he seems to have forgotten just about everything from his past life. It also kinda makes sense why he ate Potty, who was once Patchy's best friend he knew and grew up with since childhood, as Patchy no longer remembers Potty, who is but a mere snack to him now. The only thing Patchy/Dutchman vaguely remembers is Spongebob obviously, and while Patchy is mostly gone and has become the Flying Dutchman, there's still at least a little bit of Spongebob's #1 Fan left in him (like Alex Bale said), buried deep down somewhere within his embodied soul... Well, at least Patchy technically did get to meet his lifelong idol, even if it wasn't in the way he expected to.

    "Scaredy Pants" has the Dutchman getting scared by Spongebobs's exposed brain. which seem kind of odd for him, since he himself has done a lot worse than expose his brain.
    However, in the episode "The Legend of Boo-kini Bottom" The Dutchman goes inside SpongeBob's Brain only to get scared by all the overly cute, happy stuff.
    Maybe the reason the Dutchman got scared of SpongeBob's brain in "scaredy Pants" was because he has already seen all the "horrors" that's inside.
