Two main ways fortnite keeps the game "fresh" is adding new "skins" (player character appearance) and "emotes" (actions). They licensed the adventure time and spongebob characters as "skins" which players can earn or purchase.
The adventure time characters appear to be doing a basic "hug emote", which is one of several interactive emotes that, if one player does it, another player can reciprocate by approaching and engaging the emote. It looks like they're making out because this emote was designed for basic skins, not specific to these skins.
~~I'm not sure if that's just spongebob's face or not, but I assume it's an emote exclusively designed for that skin~~ (see Carl's comment reply below)
Edit: The primary game mechanic is third person shooter, though they've got several popular roleplay style game modes/options where folks just fuck around. It's become kind of like roblox, in which it's now a platform for game makers to make their own game and publish it for others to play
Adding that there's also many cartoon skins that use cel shading, which I assume is part of why this looks so weird if you're not up to date at all. Peter Griffin might be the earliest I remember, but there's dozens now. They had a whole Simpsons season recently.
I played a bit when Fortnite first introduced their Battle Royale mode and now it seems to be a completely different game
I remember when fortnight was an over monitized survival game with middling reviews and a thiicc character you could choose from.
That is the new spongebob sidekick.
Forgot to mention, the @ is also a reference to this recent fortnite controversy. https://youtube.com/watch?v=XTpcrHb6NQM
That makes sense. There's some basic requirement for height and width to make you a standard shooting target for which SpongeBob would not work.
Yeah I didn't even consider how small he was 😅
Game’s a little different from the last time I played it I spose. Can’t keep up with the meta.

No, this is in fact a leaked scene from the upcoming Magic the Gathering expansion, Reality Fracture. One of the major plot points involves an omenpath opening up between Bikini Bottom and the Land of Ooo.
Live Spongebob reaction
yup, looks like fortnite to me
