‘The Rescue’ A Short Comic

Hey Arnold Episode Ideas

Whether the ratings of TJM failed or not is still debatable. That’s not the point of the post though. I decided to give out episodes I would like to see if there ever will be a season 6. They are in no specific order. I just type down whatever comes to mind.

1.     Stinky Goes Viral

Somebody found a box of cassette tapes that has all of Stinky’s Yahoo commercials in them. Thinking that these will make them famous on MyFace, they post a compilation of them. Things get out of hand when Stinky finds out and demands the video to be deleted. The damage was already done because someone had it saved and reposted on a different account and now there are multiple remixes of the original video.

Moral of the Episode: Be careful what you post on the internet and learn to roll with your internet fame, no matter how embarrassing it is at first.

2.     Little Miss Broken

Helga is forced to work on a project with P.S. 118’s “ever so” perfect girl, Lila. Too embarrassed to work at her new “home” with Lila she asks to work at Lila’s place. When she gets there she finds some interesting, yet depressing box of song lyrics in Lila’s room. She starts to consider maybe they have more in common than she originally thought.

Moral of the Episode: You don’t have to be happy all the time, nobody’s perfect, and everybody has a bad day.

3.     Permit to Learn

Harold is finally old enough to get a learner’s permit. After some miracle, he passes the written test. However, his mother is too scared for him to go out on the big, scary road while his father just doesn’t trust Harold not to ruin his car and sky rocket his insurance. Will Harold rebel and do it on his own or will Arnold come to the rescue before it happens? Will Harold actually develop a fear of driving because of his parents?

Moral of the Episode: I don’t know… driving is boring and dangerous? (or is that just my irrational fear of driving talking)

That’s all I have for now. I’m open to see more episode ideas. Just don’t make it about shipping for every episode idea. I have my specific pairs just like everybody else but I try to keep my episode ideas centered on possible problems they would have in their semi-modern age.

I pretty much agree with this. I definitely have other ships I have preferences over others in the show but this is the one ship in the show I have no compromising with. Louise and Rudy are adorable but I can live with it if they stay platonic friends. Gene, I don't care who he ends up even if I love his dynamic with Courtney and Alex. I love Bob and Linda's relationship, but I have nothing to worry about since they are already married and canon. Teddy and Kathleen, I want this pair to work out so bad for Teddy's sake. I'll be sad if he self-sabotages this relationship, but I'll manage if it comes to it. Zekina is the only ship I will ride or die on! Even if it sinks I will make like a captain and go down with this ship! I'll shoot every long shot to make them get together in my headcanons if the show goes in the opposite direction. The show set up way too many reasons why they should be end game whether directly or indirectly and I'm in too deep to quit ever man. XD

Zeke and Tina need to be endgame I will literally throw up everywhere if they do a future episode and Tina ends up with J-Ju. I know people really like Josh and Tina together but idk he just gives me this vibe, you know? Like I know he likes her for her but frankly he’s just not weird enough for her! Zeke likes her for her and is just as weird as she is. They’re literally perfect for each other. No I do not accept criticism.

Bob's Burgers Zeke x Tina Head Canons and Story Scene Ideas.

I'm separating headcanons and ideas because the headcanons are more solid in their stance while the ideas are just shaky story scenes that I think would be cool to do but I'm not sure if I would be into it being my main line headcanon.

Headcanons:

1. While Tina is still dating Jimmy Jr. She tries to apologize to Zeke for being so hostile towards him at the beginning. She admits that she was jealous of how close he was with Jimmy Jr even though she knew him longer, how he seemed to thrive at everything that she hoped to be good at, and how despite being obnoxious, loud, rough, and gross he still was able to get nearly everyone to like him. Meanwhile, she struggled with being tolerated by her Wagstaff peers that weren't her siblings.

Zeke thinks it’s insane that Tina could be jealous of him when he’s jealous of her. Zeke wish he had Tina’s life with parents that aren’t divorced and siblings he could he could hang out with all the time. Not to mention Tina had years to develop the relationships she has with people. Zeke’s family moved around a lot so he had no choice but to make a quick impression on people because he never knows when he’s going to move away again. Even if Tina thinks she has no friends, she always had her Gene and Louise to turn to; Zeke had no one in his family because they were either too old/busy to bother with him, too young to even walk, or only visits for a little while because they live in another state.

Tina grows to appreciate Zeke more after this conversation and officially sees him as a friend rather than Jimmy Jr’s friend that she just has to learn to live with and has mixed feelings over the fact that he has a crush on her.

2. Zeke becomes Louise and Gene’s plan B (or Z for the initial humor) whenever Tina is down in the dumps after Jimmy Jr cancels a date last minute (That is if Zeke isn’t the one Jay Ju canceled on Tina for already). Just a platonic get together so Tina can get her mind off of how much of a jerk Jay Ju is being again. (Kind of like Peppermint Patty forcing Charlie Brown to go to the fair with her so she can help him gets his mind off Snoopy leaving for his original owner in in “Snoopy, Come Home”)

3. Tina succeeds getting Zeke into The Equestranauts series and Zeke unironically talks about the show in the open with her whenever she brings up first.

4. Tina is the first to join Zeke and Peter’s Women Issues Group to help support her friend.

5. Let’s face it, probably one of the reasons Zeke has a crush on Tina is because she probably has some of the biggest boobs in their grade (not the biggest but one of the biggest anyway). It’s not the only reason, but we can’t deny it’s not part of the reason. Zeke being a boob guy is part of his character and we just have to deal with it like we have to deal with Tina being a butt gal. Darn hormonal teenagers! Lol (Heck I should have named my Zekina Beauty and the Beast idea, Booty and the Breast XD)

6. Tina basically becomes 50% of Zeke’s impulse control while everyone else holds the other half of his impulse control which is dangerous since one of the holders of the other 50 percent is Louise.

7. Tina learns to put her foot down more and not be as easily influenced by Louise thanks to Zeke’s help (which also helps in turn to help her be more solid in her being 50 percent of Zeke’s impulse control).

8. When Zeke and Tina get together, Zeke loves giving pda and Tina loves receiving it, but she tries to not overdo it so she isn’t responsible for her family losing business by being too obnoxious with their affection.

9. When they start dating, it’s easier for Tina to count the times Zeke doesn’t have one of his arms around her or hold her hand than it is when he does.

10. Zeke and Tina get married on the beach. Though, they joke about getting married at the aquarium due to it being a church once.

11.  After their first time together Tina calls Zeke Zbee assuming that all this time Tbird was just the first letter of her name and a reference to the birds and the bees and had no idea Tbird was short for the name of a car. Zeke got a lot of mileage out of that one (no pun intended)

12. Wrasslin’ is Zeke and Tina’s euphemism for hanky panky, Louise and Gene teases them every now and then about it once they found out.

13. Zeke handles the money related problems in the relationship because he is better at math in comparison to Tina, not the best but still better than Tina.

14. Their first child will be named Daniel or Danielle (depending which gender on I choose) either way the kid will be nicknamed Dani

15. What Zeke loves most about Tina is how she’s always full of surprises. She can be a weird, sweet, insecure, do gooder nerd one moment and the next a fearless, troublemaking badass. A strange anomaly wrapped in a mystery that he wants to solve.

16. What Tina loves most about Zeke is the fact that he really believes she’s this interesting, unsolvable mystery. The girl from her inner world she wishes she was is someone that Zeke already believes she is and she never wants to lose that.

17. Zeke and Tina tried to help set up Saucy up on hermit crab dates at one point, but it didn’t work out. You can’t force love in the wild.

18. Zeke probably hates robots because they keep taking the jobs his family applies to and forcing them to move. Either that or he saw the Terminator too young and now is scarred for life.

19. I can see Zeke reading an erotic friend fiction at one point and leaving the review, “Hot stuf Tbird! Cud use more boobies tho ;].” Tomatina (tomato faced tina) appears after that. (Yes Zeke also spells bad XD)

20. Because of his wrestling background, he probably has the potential to give good massages. Tina certainly would want to put that to the test as soon as possible when they are married.

21. Tina makes it her mission to get the best gift for Zeke every birthday and Christmas. Zeke likes to tease her about it and make it a challenge for her to figure it out. It’s frustrating but she knows he only does it to make the point he’ll love whatever she gets him no matter what, as long as it’s not a robot of any kind.

22. Back to when they were teenagers, Tina and Zeke probably used his hidey hole a lot to privately console each other and talk about their current issues troubling them once they became closer friends.

Shaky fanfiction scene ideas (but I’ll still format it as the headcanon list even though the majority of the numbers are part of one story narrative):

1. Everyone comments about how close Zeke and Tina’s friendship has gotten which both deny and Tina feels that Zeke’s that way too everyone because of his personality. Even Jimmy Jr. is a bit threatened by how close Zeke and Tina are now even though Zeke never and will never cross a line. Jimmy Jr. honestly preferred when Tina hated Zeke because he knows how easily she falls in love with guys that are nice to her (especially ones she knows has a crush on her). Tina would of course be insulted by how little Jimmy Jr trusts her loyalty to their relationship.

2. Tina breaks up with Jimmy Jr. after high school when she realizes he’s never going to fully commit to promising her to be faithful during a long distance relationship. Jimmy Jr. and Zeke’s friendship falls apart as well when Zeke chooses to go to comfort Tina first before JJ.

3. She takes a break from dating for a while after the Jimmy Jr. heart break. After her date break, despite the chemistry she feels with Zeke, she will still continue to date other guys before she’s ready to acknowledge her feelings. Zeke’s also has his fair share of dates with other girls as well. They like to laugh over their failed dates and help each other move on.

4. Tina leaves to go to college to become a novelist. She’s delighted to see Dillon and Susmita to be going to the same college and thanks the heavens above that she may finally have a friend group to call her own that’s not terrible to her. Unfortunately, her personal hell comes true when finds out she’s roommates with Tammy Larsen.

5. To afford to go to college, Zeke tries to join the navy but they reject him because of his ADHD. His dad kicks him out at 18. So with nowhere to go he offers to work at Bob’s Burgers for a place to sleep until he can find a job and his own place to stay. Zeke is right at home with the Belcher family and is delighted that Bob is willing to teach other things besides burgers upstairs in the Belcher kitchen. This confirms to Zeke even more that he wants to go to culinary school.

6. Zeke and Tina would still text each other a lot when Tina is away in college (Tina would eventually get her own phone that’s not only for emergency before college, don’t ask me how XD). No way is Zeke going to let Tina and him become estranged, much to Tammy’s annoyance (a girl’s gotta sleep sometimes lol) and massive jealousy.

7.  On summer break of college, Tina would visit her family home. She as well as Zeke would be shocked by all the changes their bodies and attire went through while they were apart. Zeke would lift her up in a big, bear hug to greet his good friend and push down the funny feelings in his tummy while everybody else joins in on the hug.

8. The sexual tension in the air would be so thick that it would need a chainsaw to break it apart. Louise and Gene would have fun with making it worse while Tina is home.

9. Jimmy Jr. would also be back in town during Tina’s summer break. Tina would be lying if she said that Jimmy Jr didn’t take care of himself well as well. Jimmy Jr would happen to be single at the time and also found Tina she aged gracefully too. Jimmy Jr. would ask her to dinner with him to catch up. Knowing full well he is trying to do, Tina agrees to go. Zeke finds out about Tina seeing Jimmy Jr and tell her to have a nice time even though he’s dying inside. He can’t force her to love him, so why try to stop her from who she wants to be with more.

While Tina goes to meet up with Jay Ju, Zeke “borrows” some beer to ease the pain of letting go. Louise would find everything out and slap some sense into a drunken Zeke. Whether she admits it or not, she’s on team Zeke and there’s no way she would let Tina let Jimmy Jr hurt her again or see her practically adopted brother be sad over this easily fixable thing.

Louise would remind Zeke that him and JJ aren’t friends anymore so what is stopping him from barging in to the restaurant telling Tina that he wants her bad and killing JJ. Even in his drunken state Zeke wouldn’t want to kill JJ, but he would agree with Louise that he’s been playing it safe in the friendship for too long and it’s time to rock the boat.

When Louise and Zeke make it to the restaurant, Tina would already be leaving the place looking like she did something very cathartic. It would be revealed that Tina basically only agreed to meet up with JJ again just to make it clear to him that she outgrew him and that there’s no chance that they will ever get back together again after everything he put her through, that and get a free meal.

Louise would be proud of her sister to finally overcome the JJP drug while also pushing Zeke to say what he went there to say. Zeke nerves and drunken state would get the better of him and he would zoom to the nearest trash can to barf. After an awkward ride of silence home, Tina would help give Zeke water until he would be sober enough to talk things over.

Zeke would pour his heart out that he still holds a torch for Tina and never stopped even when they were doing great as just friends. He wanted to tell her so much sooner but it was never the right time. Then when Tina came back for summer, he thought fate finally gave him and Tina a chance to start something.  That is until Jimmy Jr popped in back to town at the worst possible time. He was so heartbroken that he thought he missed his shot again that he was going to drink the pain away until Louise stopped his pity party.

He would say screw it whether it was the right or wrong time to say it because he’s done staying silent just so the next long necked Casanova can come and steal her heart while he just learns to live with it. If Tina still didn’t want to give him a chance, he would be fine with that, but at least he got what he needed off of his chest. His only hope now would be that if Tina did reject his confession they would still be friends.

It would be Tina’s turn to get something out of her hand and give it to Zeke, it was an after dinner mint from the restaurant. Tina would tease him that she didn’t want to kiss someone with barf breath. Zeke never would have dreamed that he would be trying to suck through a mint so fast.

Their kiss would be soft and innocent at the start but get more and more intimate once Tina wordlessly gives Zeke permission to do so. Years of unreciprocated love pouring out and being shared by one another and it makes them both feel like the only people in the world that matter to each other for a moment.

10. After they become official, Jimmy Jr apologizes to both of them for real this time and hopes that one day maybe they could all be friends again. Not wanting to hold any grudges, Zeke and Tina want to bury the hatchet with Jimmy Jr. but make it clear they aren’t pals yet and they want to see that Jimmy Jr. earns their trust first.

Okay, that’s all that I have stored up in my brain for ZekexTina headcanons and fanfiction ideas (which is basically just a bunch of scenes that form into one big story honestly, I’m not very good at making my ideas small XD)

Okay here’s a bonus headcanon for Gene. His favorite song from Veggietales is Barbara Manatee and thus formed his attraction to the manatee puppet in that ship kidnapped episode.

So Not a Pity Kiss! Couldn't think of a better title for the image, so here it is anyway. For context, Tina claimed the "Apoca-lips" was a pity kiss because she was flattered Zeke liked her, decided to throw him a bone before they all died, and nothing more.

Zeke doesn't buy it because no one gives a kiss like that out of pity. To prove him wrong, Tina tells him to reenact the kiss on her. She's so sure that it won't affect her and that she'd be able to tell the level of passion and say once and for all it was definitely pity and nothing else. Since Zeke would take any excuse to kiss Tina, he agrees to the challenge. With Tina's consent, Zeke tries to reenact the "Apoca-lips" from memory as best as he can. Tina is in trouble when she realizes that Zeke is a better kisser than she thought. So she has a very long, painful 2 seconds as she tries to not give in to the moment, remain perfectly still, and not even close her eyes. She can't let Zeke be right. It was just a pity kiss, just pity.

Yay! Willow gets more cute outfits! I love her so much and want her to be in all the cute outfits I can think of. Though, this is all I had in mind for now. Below the "keep reading" barrier is Willow's lingerie look. I made it so I could show people as much of Willow's vitiligo as I could without making her completely nude. I show the front and back of her lingerie attire, so enter at your own risk of seeing Willow's heinie. Though like I said in my first post about Willow, her patterns aren't stationary. So there's no obligation to be 100% accurate with her marks. Heck, it could make designing clothes for her more fun if the vitiligo patterns are mixed up every now and then. Anyway, enjoy the cuteness and all that jazz. Edit 8/11/2023: I added another dress for Willow.

Congratulations! Your addition made me go over 200 notes. XD This is now my most popular post as far as I know, so thank you. Other than that, good luck if you end up watching every episode involving Zeke making a comment about Tina. I'm genuinely looking forward to the results if you update. Also I've glad you find the caption amusing. The original meme had a swear and that's not my style. So, I censored it with something that's still technically a swear nowadays but I still live in the 90s/early 2000s so it's okay. XD

Linda: But trying to make people think you're cool is exhausting. And when you stop trying, suddenly the next person you talk to thinks you're the best person ever.

Cue the time-passing montage of Tina learning to let go of that embarrassing moment and stop trying to be cool. Most of the time it's with her family, at the restaurant, or by herself just investing herself in her favorite music again. However, there's this one frame I'm convinced has subtle symbolism!

The only time Zeke appears in the episode and it's to be in front of Tina while she looks out the window still sad from the event. Due to how this scene was set up it really looks like it's implying that Zeke is one of those that would think Tina is "the best person ever". However, Tina is too busy being sad to notice what's already in front of her. I mean, the window perfectly frames Zeke in (and sweet Susmita gets her moment too, even if it's just her hair and some of her skin) when they literally could have done whatever they wanted and changed the character in the seat in front of Tina. Heck, Tina could have been in the last seat and further symbolize the loneliness/self-pity Tina is feeling. It's possible they just wanted to stick with accurate continuity and have Tina, Zeke, Susmita, and the rest be in the same seating arrangements as they were in "Cheaty Cheaty Bang Bang". For continuity reasons or not, I still take it as symbolism that Zeke already thinks Tina is the coolest person ever and Tina just needs to really look around her to realize it. The subtext I tell ya!

SPECIFY WHICH SPECIFIC TYPE OF CREATURE TO THE WIZARD IN THE TAGS BELOW, IF APPLICABLE, OR ELSE HE WILL DECIDE RANDOMLY. YOU GET ONE SHOT AT THIS.

Stinky Peterson is far from perfect. He’s not the smartest, he’s innocently insensitive, and looks like what a plague doctor would look like unmasked, but when he’s not around negative influences he is the sweetest country boy in Hillwood. Plus he maybe a vampire (people are still into those right?)! I don’t know, maybe I’m just a nut that’s into to lanky, big nosed freaks. He’s one of my favorite Hey Arnold characters though and he doesn’t deserve being called ugly.

Hey Craig I got one question for you

Explain

All good choices! Here are some of my favorites to add to the collection! "Bob and Deliver" has some great ones.

This moment in "Carpe Museum" had hilarious Zeke frames as well. Look at him staring at us with them big ol eyes!

Here are some from "Tina and the Real Ghost"

Lastly here are some of my favorite frames from "Two for Tina"

(Yes I had to end it on Zeke and Tina don't judge me XD!)

Beanmouth

Precious lil beanmouth 🥺
