Dreamboundedstar - I Hope You All Find Your "something After All"

That’s fine it’s just a headcanon I had for a while for Edmund to give him more development as a character. This isn’t just some random diagnosis just because. I do have some reasoning for my headcanon. It mostly comes from “Mudbowl” and “Friday the 13th”. In both episodes he is shown to be easily distracted. Out of all the bullies they show in the football game, Edmund seems to be the one they show to be the most confused out of all them with Arnold’s, in Helga’s words “loopy plays” as they make it a point to show Wolfgang slamming Edmund to the ground (almost twice until Phoebe intervened). It’s not just in the game though, earlier on in the episode he’s distracted at copying Wolfgang by pointing at the fourth graders until Wolfgang has to literally drag out of the scene by the collar. In “Friday the 13th” he is shown to be distracted twice when chewing gum, not noticing Wolfgang’s annoyance of him supporting Gerald’s sly, dance moves or not immediately laughing at his “clever” joke.

ADD could possibly, maybe explain his apathy towards Wolfgang near the end of the episode, being easily bored of the situation since we found out earlier in the episode he’s not superstitious (still wasn’t cool of him to not take his friend’s ridiculous fear seriously though).

This part is more speculation than the rest, but I like to think that him playing Kings Rule shows he has some creativity in that mind of his. ADD people are usually known for their out of the box thinking. He was the one the planted the idea in Wolfgang’s mind that started the bet in “Chocolate Boy” in the first place

There’s also that “laugh and agree” moment in the “Grand Prix episode, but I can’t tell if that was him daydreaming/distracted or just not caring to kiss up to Wolfgang until he was told to? So, I don’t bother counting that.

In the end, I’m aware that most of this could just come down to he’s just an idiot and nothing more to it. I just wanted to add something that doesn’t just pin him to being dumb because that’s boring. Though it’s definitely reassuring to know that you actually know somebody in your life that could give you that realistic perspective on things. Thank you for your time, even your “none answer” still means something to me. 

Hey, I wanted to talk about Edmund again because why not. I've talked about this before with other people, but I wanted to ask you since you were open to more Edmund asks. Anyway, I headcanon that Edmund has ADD. Do you think that makes sense with the limited screen time he has had or do you think he has something else?

I haven’t seen any evidence to ADD. My mom has ADD and it was... an experience, growing up with someone who wanders off at random and has difficulty holding conversations or listening at all. I can’t remember any instances where Edmund seemed easily distractible, but maybe I’m wrong. I’d need some examples for why you hold that headcanon. 

Tbh, I don’t really think a lot about what kind of disorders characters have unless it’s glaringly apparent there’s something going on with them and/or it reminds me of something I’ve already seen. Like when my friend said Arnie is autistic, everything just kinda lined up in my head and suddenly made sense and it’s always cool when that happens with a character. Sid has anxiety and OCD, Miriam’s of course depressed, I’ve always headcanoned Arnold as having ADD actually. But it doesn’t happen often that I diagnose characters. I focus more on behaviors and the experiences that might have inspired those behaviors. That's just more enjoyable to me. Sorry that’s kind of a boring none-answer, lmao. 

This is very good for your first time drawing these two. Thank you for doing this suggestion! I think it’s adorable and I hope you had fun doing this.

Here’s a fun fact, the meaning of the name Suzie is “lily”. Lila is only one letter away from that. I know it’s just a coincidence, but I just found that interesting.

Never actually drew them before, this is a good way to start it.

I wanted to have a little fun and make a Zekina playlist. I didn't want to put in all the songs I have in other playlists that vaguely fit them though. So, I made a story out of this playlist. I even specifically used some songs that Steven Davis sang (a producer on Bob's Burgers) to hopefully make it have a better feel to the play list. So I'll just list the narrative of the songs that I'm intending to tell. 1. The song is basically my way to start off with vaguely similar vibes to the Zeke quote, "I'm gonna getcha". 2 - 6. Tina's pov for her relationship with Jimmy Jr. 7. Jimmy Jr.'s pov of the break up (get used to this one JJ because you're not getting anymore from your pov sorry lol) 8. Tina's pov of Jimmy Jr trying to get her back but it fails. 9-10. Tina dealing with the fallout of being single. 11. Tina's pov of her getting ready to move away to wherever she decides to go. 12. Tina and Zeke's pov of them both choosing to stay friends and go off to be free to see what life has for them. Though both secretly hope that they both will eventually come back to each other. 13. Tina and Zeke's pov of them reaffirming they are good friends. 14. Zeke's pov of feelings resurfacing again. 15. Zeke's pov of him taking action and getting it right this time. 16. Zeke's pov of him trying too hard. 17. Tina's pov of being worried if Zeke really is commitment trustworthy. 18. Zeke's pov of the same song that played for Tina about Jimmy Jr because callbacks are fun. 19 - 20. Tina's pov of her not being ready for diving deep into love again. 21 - 22. Zeke's pov of him being a stubborn, little gremlin. 23. Tina's pov of her finally giving in. 24. Still Tina's pov I just wanted a cute song to end the playlist. It's not the most smooth ending but the title is fitting for the whole "getcha" thing I mentioned earlier. It's also the intro song to a movie I used to like, "Letters to Juliet" in which someone made a Zekina connection to in a post (though I still honestly say some personalities don't completely fit but the concept is still good) https://www.tumblr.com/laterpaladudes/695583610873561089/ok-it-might-be-this-greeceitaly-vacation-that-im?source=share That's it but here are some bonus songs that didn't make the cut because they didn't quite fit the narrative I was going for. Your Stupid Face by Kaden MacKay

I'm so sad this didn't make the cut. I felt the beginning really was good for her original resentment towards Zeke but later the lyrics didn't really fit Tina's character. So now it's better for RudyxLouise, Shortaki from Hey Arnold, or any ship with an enemies-to-lovers dynamic. I Like You More Than I Thought by Maggery

Another song that fits Louise more than Tina, unfortunately. Best Friend by Laufy It could have worked for ZekexTina but it works so much better as a BobxLinda song in Bob's pov. Make it by Cody Fry Speaking of Bob, this song just really speaks to me for Bob and I wanted to share it.

Finally, that's it. Hope you found some new songs you like in the playlist or in the bonus links.

Finally googled if anybody discussed the meaning of "Just What I needed"

So here's the link to what people think the song is about. https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/5845/ Basically, if you gender-flip the song, I think it fits Tina's relationship with Jimmy Jr. She has no idea why she likes him and he's not that healthy to be around but he's just "what she needed" anyway. It's a cynical, dark song about a toxic partner that the singer shouldn't be with but they are drawn to the partner anyway in short. So yeah, not the most positive song for Tina the poor girl. Though not sure if that was the intention on the part of the showrunners to signal that Jimmy Jr. is toxic or they just thought it was a good song for spin the bottle?

Honestly, I just want to see the Hormon-iums end credits be analyzed. More specifically how each boy of the 4 reacted to Tina kissing them. I mostly only care about Zeke and J Ju obviously. Jimmy Jr. and Tina are obviously more confident and have no hesitation because they kissed before. However, I just find it cute that before Zeke kissed Tina he tilted his head and raised his eyebrows as if to say "Are you sure you want to do this" or "you ready for this" (at least that's how I interpreted it). The point is, there was some hesitation before the moment. After it happened, Zeke was shocked and his eyes opened faster than Tina's did. Even though the end credits aren't canon, it's still interesting to see all the different ways the kissing was animated and it wasn't just a copy/paste kissing animation.

Hey there! Thank you very much for your patience! And thank you so much for this very interesting request and I agree with your analysis but let's take one step after the other.

As always this is very much just my opinion! My interpretation! My headcanons! (sorry for any mistakes).

First I want to take a look at the kiss with Darryl.

Because I think there is something interesting to take into account. I want to think Tina chose Darryl over Peter in this moment because they kissed before in "Can't buy me math".

I like to think they are still friends. We all know Tina loves kissing but many scenes make me wonder if to her it does not always has to be romantic. She just likes to kiss without the prospect of finding her one true love through it. Maybe it's all practice?

The first kiss is very quick, just a peck and means nothing. Darryl even wipes his lips while Tina is monologing.

And now let us look at the other kisses. I gif-ed them.

Nameless Boy #1: I feel like this boy knows what he is doing. They near each other without any hestiance, both having their eyes open at first. He realises that he is not closes enough, peeks and closes the distance. It's simple and short and there is no romantic intent or passion. Tina doesn't smile and it's just a short soft peck. Her eyebrows rise after the kiss but I guess it's suprise because he closes in rather fast and she is pushed back a bit. Let's get over with it XD

Nameless Boy #2: I wonder if that was his first kiss. He goes in with closed eyes. Makes me also wonder if Tina realised her mistake from before. She has her eyes open until she knows she is close enough and only at the end she closes her eyes. Again the kiss is a very soft short peck. What I really find remarkable is how he his eyes fly open. He looks so suprised. Not sure because it is over already or if it was better or worse than he thought? Also it does not feel romantic. Again it's short and Tina does not smile!

But I headcanon that since Louise coached her Tina is a really good kisser. She also had a lot of practice xD. Either way, if it was his first kiss... good for him :)

Zeke: As you said, there is this questioning look on Zekes face - tilt of his head down wards, raising of his eyebrows - before he moves in. Interesting is, that Tina moves at the exactly same time so the communication of her agreeing must has been somewhere we aren't able to see.

This is after the episode "The Oeder Games" in which Zeke told Tina the second time that he likes her. And this is also after the episode "Stand by Gene" in which Tina considers Zeke as a potential Love interest - even if only for a second.

I'm not sure if it just me but Tina seems to smile a bit more than with the others? I'm not 100% sure though. But what is happening is that this kiss takes a bit longer. Still quick but longer. It's also not one of them moving while the other waits, no the both move at the same time. They reach the middle at the same time and both have their eyes closed. They know where they have to move! And what I really love (like you mentioned!) is after they move away from each other Zeke looks so suprised like "first kiss with Tina!!!" and his eyes actually snap open because (I imagine) he wants to see her reaction. And Tinas reaction is amazing. Because her eyes OPEN SO SLOWLY?! She moves back, her mouth returns to it's normal position - maybe a slight smile - and then her eyes slowly open. Like she thinks that was better than she thought.

This is so different to the other two. It's also soft but different soft... holy shit.

Jimmy Jr.: Last one. Jimmy Jr. is the boy she had kissed most of the times at that point. They had been on-and-off in the last five seasons. Here too, both move in at the same time. They know what they do, they have done this before BUT the last gap is closed by Jimmy Jr. This kiss seems to be like the least soft. We also don't see the after-kiss. Right after this it cuts to black.

What is interesting is that there is also not going on much on Jimmy Jr.s face. His eyes drop at the beginning and I wonder if it's because he has to figure out how much he has to lean down so he can reach Tinas lips. Tinas eyebrows lower while she is leaning in but immediately raise up right before the kiss. She also seems to smile a bit? Compared to that JJs expression is sill very neutral and that is so in-character. He always seems so distant and there is never shown any reason why he likes Tina.

Maybe he likes to kiss Tina? She is probably is very good at it but in this case it's also just a game?

I'm honestly stumped about Jimmy Jr.

So, I hope you enjoyed that. As an (almost) last thought: I was very confused about you saying "the credits are not canon" and wondered where that came from? And then I realised that sometimes that might be true XD For example when they are just pixels. But stuff like this here I actually consider canon, as well as some of the the scenes when they are back in the restaurant. Maybe not the singing part but Tina kissing all the boys at the party? Yeah that seems like it can work. But in the end I guess it's up to us what we want to add to our (head-)canon.

Now to the very last thought. I looked up the song "Just what I needed" by The Cars

But the lyrics gave me nothing. So if anyone wants to do a deep dive into analysing the lyrics, be my guest!

My Kacchako Babies Have Forms!

MHA Character Sheet template by shadowmist0706 https://www.tumblr.com/shadowmist0706/641599201808138240/hey-could-you-post-a-blank-oc-character-sheet Font used - Futura Display Now that I got credits out of the way I can talk about my babies! For context I drew Shinkei at age 14 while the other two are both 6. First off I changed Zuyoboru's name to Shinkei because I grew to hate the way it flowed with the last name, Bakugo. Shinkei, it makes the reference to Izuku "extending a hand" to others more subtle but it still works. Also Shinkei could be a pun for another kanji that uses Shinkei that translates to "nerve" which fit his quirk so it all works out. Plus it uses kanji from both Best Jeanist's and Edgeshot's name as a way to honor them as thanks for keeping Bakugo alive during the final war. I also decided to make Ayase the only one with a quirk that's associated with Bakugo's and Ochako's quirk. I thought it would be more interesting for Ryochi to cause destruction while quirkless instead of a natural disaster's quirk based on the combination of Ochako's and Katsuki's quirk. Plus, it felt thematic in a "history repeating itself" way given that Inko and Hisashi Midoriya have essentially similar, less poweful version of Katsuki's and Ochako's quirk. Anyway, I don't normally draw anime so I hope you like my designs. I did my best. I had fun developing these concepts and finally giving them form. I doubt it if I'll do it for the rest of my MHA fankid concepts because I was only planning to give Kacchako special treatment. lol Edit 12/8/2024- Realized too late I somehow mistaken that "kei" kanji I used was actually the thing that Best Jeanist's name was making a homophone type pun of and not part of his actual name. Regardless, it's still works out in the end. I just thought I should be honest about that blunder after the fact. XD Edit 12/10/2024 - Changed Ayase's name to Misaka because I was bothered by the ending sounds of all the kid's name leaning to similarly and I wanted to break the mold. I also wanted to add more symbolism to her kanji. Edit 12/18/2024 - Changed Misaka's name to Tochiya because I can never make up my freaking mind! Also I saw potential for alternate kanji reading potential and wanted to pull an Izuku to Deku for Tochiya. Just something to continue my pattern of history repeating itself/karmic justice thing I'm going for with the Kacchako kids.

Edit 3/22/2025 - Changed their last names from Bakugo to Uraraka, Changed some character bio details, and Changed some features of Tochiya's face so it would make more sense.

I decided to change my qilin-crusader username to my Instagram username. It was rare for people to pronounce the first part of it correctly so I ended up hating the name. Not much of an update, but having an easy-to-pronounce name is just nice.

So I put it upon myself to make my tritype (wings included) out of the songs in a playlist. So feel free to have fun with this and make your own tritype playlist if you want.
