Has Anybody Tried Doing This For The Beach City Teens Yet? I’m Tried For Ronaldo A Few Times But I

I think the biggest evidence for Tina and Zeke eventually getting together is the fact Zeke's name starts with Z. Zeke Zombie They both start with Z! Wake up sheeple, the facts are staring right at us in our faces!/j XD LOL

I don't know if you still are doing requests. Would you be willing to do sketches of Wolfgang and Edmund? I just kind of want to see them either being jerks to kids off screen, jerks to each other, or maybe just make have Wolfgang find Edmund in his King Rules costume and Edmund being all like, "I can explain!" To Wolfgang. Thank you for your time and just have fun with it with whatever you choose if you do choose. XD

Made in 2015-2016

Sketch referenced from an Oriental Lily I found on the internet. 

I love the parallels here! Like Teddy, I could also see Tina nearly self-sabotaging a perfectly good relationship with Zeke because she has been so used to being in unhealthy relationships, like with Jimmy Jr for example. She's not used to being in a healthy, stable relationship without fear of future drama that she would begin to overthink ways she could screw it up with Zeke.

Though, as long as Tina doesn't cower away from talking about her fears with Zeke, I believe Zeke is able to work it out with her. She learns that love, like cooking, doesn't need to have it always on full-blast heat. Sometimes you need to have it on low heat for it to be done right. Sure, it may be boring sometimes having to wait for it, but in the end, the results turn out more beautiful than they would have if you tried to always cook at a passionately high temperature. Zeke would definitely be full of surprises, but he won't always be the most romantic or artistic as Tina would hope for. However, what Zeke would provide is worth more than any romantic gesture, the security to be fully herself without the fear of abandonment. So she realizes she loves the slow-cook romance she has with Zeke over the highly intense heat she hoped for in her fantasies. Zeke won't always be as romantic as Tina would hope for but he will always be her port in a storm and she'll realize that is something she wants more than a passionate, drama-filled romance. Also, I can see Tina calling Zeke and saying, "Hi Zeke, it's Tina from dating." That was my highlight quote from that episode XD

I’ve come to a strange realization:

The love triangle situation between Teddy, Helen and Kathleen is weirdly similar to… Tina, Jimmy Jr and Zeke?!

Firstly, let’s look at Tina and Teddy. The two have more in common than you’d think!

-Both believe in things like fate and cosmic forces -Have a tendency to daydream, concocting wild and at times bizarre fantasies about those they fancy -Have personality traits that can be A Little Much for some people -Forget about personal boundaries when worked up -Are socially awkward and bad at reading the room -Cling to things they treasure -Wear blue -Have names that start with T See, look at that mountain of intersecting attributes!!

And now, the contenders.

Like Jimmy Jr, Helen is tall, blonde, conventionally attractive, and comfortable financially. She is nice to Teddy in varying degrees, sometimes sweet and playful, sometimes awful. The deciding factor in her niceness seems to be how useful Teddy can be to her in the moment, much like JJr only approaching Tina when it suits him especially well. Teddy is endlessly smitten with the beautiful but two-faced Helen, much as Tina is with JJR’s perfect bottom.

Kathleen on the other hand is a bit more on the average side with her stout figure and brown hair. Sound familiar? She also has an accent, is a bit sloppy, less than wealthy, knows her way around a joke, enjoys a bit of sports… Although she’s far more subdued, the similarities to Zeke are definitely there! And like Zeke, she’s also quite a nice person person overall - tentatively offering to share her food with the Belcher kids and showing concern for Teddy’s well being despite not knowing him very well.

Ever the romantic (like Teddy!!) Tina picks up on their chemistry right away, and insists that Teddy doesn’t need a rich beautiful princess, but just a nice lady that fits him right. Now if only she could apply that to herself…

But wait, there’s more!

Along with the mirrored triangles themselves, there are some other fun things to note regarding the general episodes in which developments are made.

For instance, Season 5 is when we first meet Helen. Season 5 also contains some interesting episodes for Tina and Zeke’s dynamic, such as Midday Run and The Oeder Games. Then in Season 9 we meet Kathleen, and get great episodes such as UFO No You Didn’t and Yes Without My Zeke. While it’s less substantial, I just find it interesting that the episodes containing key moments in Teddy’s love life were released alongside episodes involving Tina’s love life. Come Season 10 Helen is out of the picture, and Teddy is revealed to be seeing Kathleen more frequently in All That Gene. And now in Season 13, the relationship has progressed to steady dating, where Kathleen is asking Teddy out on long day trips. Pretty intimate! I wish them nothing but happiness.

Now, I don’t think Teddy’s switch from a hopeless crush on Helen to a happy, healthy relationship with Kathleen is intended to be a hint towards Tina’s future… but if the writers were hinting at something then I would have nothing but respect for them!!

A little thought after a little science read 

Lookie here, more lovely art by @drawthething ! I really love how DT draws Willow based on the last commission with her in it, so I asked for more. :3 I'm responsible for all the dialogue. It's just so much fun making dialogue for these two. I don't know if any of this dialogue would be canon if I ever end up making a fanfic with them involved, but they were fun regardless. Even though WIllow will never be canon in Bob's Burgers, she's canon in heart! Just as long they never show Tina and Katie's art teacher, she's canon to me. XD If that happens, I don't know maybe I'll rework her as an oc for an original series. I really do love this character design concept. Anyway, enough rambling. Thank you so much DT and I hope you all enjoy the cuteness! X3

@flufftober Prompt: "you've told your parents?"

Zeke’s palms were sweaty. His heart was racing. Suddenly, he thought about calling in sick, or even quitting outright. Anything to spare himself the judgement of Mr. Belcher who had been nice enough to give him a job in the first place. He hadn’t been this anxious this morning. That had come after talking to Tina, who had told him about telling her parents about their date that weekend.

“You told your parents?” Zeke’s voice had come out more strained than he would have liked, but anxiety squeezed his chest at the thought of Mr. Belcher’s disapproving frown. Zeke knew how the man had felt about boys and Tina, having heard enough criticisms of the boys Tina was interested in as they worked.

“Of course,” Tina had said, oblivious to Zeke’s internal panic, “Gene and Louise too.”

They had chatted briefly at lunch, the other Belcher siblings joining them. Gene and Louise had subjected him to exaggerated questions about his intentions with Tina and teased them about only realizing how they felt after working together after school, which culminated in Louise demanding the five dollars from their bet.

“I had five dollars on you two getting together in under six months,” Louise explained, pocketing the five.

“I thought you’d wait a year before one of you had finally decided to go away for college, only for the other to suddenly realize how you felt and race to the airport to declare your love,” Gene had fake-swooned onto the table as Louise rolled her eyes.

“You and mom were watching some corny Hallmark crap again, weren’t you?”

“It’s Mommy-Son-Rom-Com-Time and you’re just jealous!”

“As if,” Louise said, just as Tina had asked “how do I get invited?”

Louise and Gene’s bickering had made him feel better. He hadn’t realized that he was so worried about the younger Belcher’s reactions until that moment. This only made his nerves about facing their father even worse. Mr. Belcher had hired him only two months ago, after Zeke had dropped his resume off and explained his plans for a gap year. He had figured working at Bob’s Burgers would allow him time to figure out if he wanted to pursue culinary college over trade school. In his short time at the restaurant, Mr. Belcher had never pressured him into deciding anything before he was ready, only asking what Zeke wanted and taking the time to show him some skills Mr. Belcher had called training but definitely had nothing to do with making burgers.

In short, Zeke had great respect for the man, and didn’t want to disappoint him. It was why he had waited so long to ask Tina out, not wanting to seem like he had only wanted to work there to get her attention.

Now he stood at the door of the restaurant, cold sweat chilling his skin despite the June sun. Zeke had reached a hand to the door before snatching it back a few times, feeling anxiety bubble up with every attempt. It was when he saw the familiar figure of Mrs. Belcher coming out to the front with a plate of food for a customer did Zeke finally have the courage to open the door.

“Oh hi, sweetie, come on in,” her familiar greeting for Zeke called over her shoulder, “Bobby’s at the grill if you want to handle assembly, we got a bunch of UberSkips orders to fill.”

 “It’s UberEATS, Lin,” Mr. Belcher’s voice corrected from the back, “and the help would be appreciated.”

After a brief greeting that told him nothing of Mr. Belcher’s feelings, Zeke fell happily into the rhythm of putting together various burgers and handling fries. He had been so busy, with the end of the to-go orders had come a dinner rush (courtesy of Gene’s flyer distribution strategy of busking at Wonder Wharf), that he had almost forgotten his nerves about facing Mr. Belcher.

“So, Zeke,” Mr. Belcher started, sounding almost too casual as he flipped a lone burger, “Tina tells me that you two are going on a date.”

His stomach flipped, and Zeke swallowed before answering to prevent anymore cracking. “Uh, yeah,” Zeke said to which Mr. Belcher only hummed in response. It was a neutral sound that could mean approval or frustration.

As the silence stretched, Zeke found himself growing restless, until finally he blurted, “but if that’s some kind of conflict of interest, or you disapprove, you can let me go and I’ll find some place else-”

Mr. Belcher’s laugh stopped him mid-sentence. “Zeke, I’m not going to fire you for dating my daughter. If anything, I’m happy she’s not pining after some random guy in tight pants this time.”

Mr. Belcher turned to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, “Zeke, I think you have a lot of potential, no matter what you decide to do after your gap year you’re always welcome here, either as a customer or cook.”

“Really mean that, Mr. B?” Relief flooded through him so fast he almost slipped up his tomato slices.

“Of course, he does, sweetie haven’t you seen the burger of the day yet?” Mrs. Belcher had popped her head through the serving window, “you just be nice to my Teeny-Tina.”

Zeke nodded and got back to work on the last few orders of the night. When it was time to close up, Zeke volunteered to clean and lock the place up, allowing the Belchers to head upstairs early. As he set to cleaning the front end of the restaurant after prepping the kitchen, Zeke finally noticed what the burger of the day was: the Zucchina Burger, comes with a zucchini and feta fritter.

@tapioca-puddin made the cover of the playlist. I miss doing stuff with my oc, so I decided to make a playlist for her and the Debmund ship. From "Dream Away" to "Dreamy Night" is songs just about Debora while the rest is about the Debmund relationship from both povs (though mostly from Debora). From "Ok" to "I Like U" is Debora trying out a different relationship but it not working out fast (though Ok is from Edmund's pov). XD I tried to put it in the most accurate story order possible, but it might change slightly over time. I also might add more songs too. Here are songs I like for the playlist as well but weren't on Spotify.

I would as these two somewhere before "Sunshine of Your Smile" in the just Debora section.

I would have put this song before "As Long as You Wait for Me". Anyway, that's all for now. Hope you enjoy the playlist even if you don't give a flying flip about my oc or Hey Arnold. I hope you'll be able to keep up when I inevitably add more songs to the list and this post. lol

Forget Louise, I want to know what's under Flips Whitefudge's hat!
