The Scene That Started It All. Baby Steps By @theangrypomeranian Is Incredible And Y'all Should Really

Just a fun cosplay idea I wanted to do. I made them adults in the image because it felt right. Edmund is basically a Viking, werewolf woodcutter and Debora is an Irish, little, red, riding hood leanan sidhe (for context, a leanan sidhe is an Irish fairy that feeds on the life force of artists in exchange for being a muse). I either wanted to make Debora's costume a leanan sidhe or vampire, I chose the former because I like that it was vampiric in nature but not a full on vampire. I liked the description fit Debora's character more than a vampire would. Anyway, Hope you like what you see. P.S. Edmund's muscles are fake and it's just stuffing. Adult Edmund would never be that buff in my book and would only have muffin tops. XD

Heh, maybe this time I'll actually put effort in this booping thing and get a second cat paw. I don't want to get too cocky though, I'm not as wild with the boops as some others are, although I still find it amusing. lol

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!

Something I made in 2015-2016

Sketch referenced from “How to Draw What You See”

I don't really have much to add here. I love Kathleen appeared again and she was able to handle Teddy perfectly. They are just so cute together and I would love to see more of them always!

Sometimes what’s important isn’t that you have the same interests as your partner, but that you take interest in your partner’s interests, and respect those interests - even if they’re the thing that kills them.

Really wonderful Teddleen content this episode!!

Kathleen’s pallet change will take some time getting used to, but I’ll personally be saying that she got her hair colored and started a new skincare regimen with the though of reeling Teddy in ^^;;

My Hero Academia Next Gen Fankids Concepts I Decided to Do for Fun:

While I don't know what I'm getting myself into, I just couldn't help myself. The concept of mixing quirks based on genetics is just so interesting and I can't help but want to give it a try for myself. I don't plan to draw any of the fankids though. They're more concepts and idea exercises than me actually putting the effort into actualizing them as characters. I just want to have fun with quirk mixing. Regardless, I hope you have fun reading them who ever cares enough to or at least get a good laugh at my terrible attempts to make good Japanese names out of kanji when I have no experience in knowing the language whatsoever. XD

Also if you don't like a ship I chose, please be civil or just ignore me. You ship your ship and I'll ship mine. Now to start off with the totally least controversial ship in the MHA fandom! Katsuki Bakugo x Ochako Uraraka: Zuyoboru Bakugo (爆豪 手伸):

First born son of Katsuki and Ochako. He has light brown hair, (this hex code #bb9064 I plan to be giving more hex codes to help paint a picture), brown eyes that are shaped like Bakugo's (#a05334) (though they normally look closed like Ochako's mom, only really opening when he's in serious mode), pink cheeks, and skin color that's fusion of both parent's skin tone (#f7d5bd). He by all means looks like normal kid, to the point he almost thought he was quirkless. That is until he accidentally bit his tongue and swallowed his own blood and in his vision multiple red threads that only he can see, varying in opacity.

Hero Name: Crimson Fate Quirk: Destiny's Thread. When taking a sip of someone's blood, Zuyoboru is able to see the invisible threads that connects people with each other. The more of a connection people have with one another, the more vibrant and visible the thread is. The drawbacks are it doesn't last long until the blood disappears from his system and he's out of luck if the blood he drank from didn't have a great connection with the person they are trying to find to begin with. Not to mention with how many connections people can have through out their lives, it's get a bit overwhelming trying to find the thread he's looking for. Lastly, blood really doesn't agree with his stomach so he barfs it up as soon as the threads leave his vision. (That's right, I fused Himiko Toga's and Edgeshot's quirk for this kid like a mad woman XD! I don't even know if it's biologically possible and it more than likely isn't. It's anime though and I need the drama! I didn't use the Shin kanji for nothing after all lol.) Ryochi Bakugo (爆豪 凌地): Second born son of Ochako and Katsuki. He has brown spiky hair (#894727), Katsuki's eyes (#c1423f), and Katsuki's skin (#f5d1b4). Hero Name: Blitzaster

Quirk: Natural Disasters. Ryochi has the ability to control the tides with gravitational pull to control the size of waves. He can also use the explosion aspect of his quirk to cause earthquakes, bomb, cyclones, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and avalanches. Though, he can only cause earthquakes or other natural disasters when he is able to touch close to the place the earth is weakest with his hand. Another aspect of his quirk is that he's an extremely fast runner, so fast he lifts off the ground and is basically a meteor (think of something similar to fire boost from the Sonic Rush games but more in the air). The only issue with that is, he doesn't really have anyway to stop without crashing into something. So if nobody is able to stop him before that happens, he's usually knocks himself out from the force of his landing. (I'm a little lost trying to figure how to make a natural disaster quirk work while it still fits the concept of mixing gravity and explosions. I'm mostly trying to avoid anything that involves wind. Though feel free to suggest what to do to make this quirk work.) Ayase Bakugo (爆豪 花星):

Daughter and last child of Katsuki and Ochako. She has Katsuki's hair color (#ecdbba), Ochako's eyes (#a05334), Ochako's skin (f9d8c5), and pink freckles (similar to Ochako's pink circles but smaller and a cluster like little, pink stars but dot shaped). Like her mother, Ayase also has the little bumps on her fingers to activated and deactivate her quirk. Hero Name: Novalty Quirk: Shooting Star. Ayase can create stars at any size (as long as it's within her limit) that orbit around her head until she presses all her fingers together. Once she does that, the stars fly at rapid speeds at her target and explode on impact. The bigger the star, the more power the explosion. She has the potential to form two stars into a supernova, however it's risky because she either get a neutron star or a black hole after dealing a powerful blow with the supernova. However, the drawback of using such a power for her is that if she creates too many stars or ones that are too big for her to handle she becomes light headed and faints. (I'm debating whether if I should give her a power similar to the boost power I gave Ryochi or not. I don't want it to accidentally give the kids two quirks when I just want it to be part of just one quirk.) Wow... I didn't expect for this post to be as long as it was. So I guess this MHA kid thing is coming in multiple parts because I have more to share that I don't want to do here. It's probably for the best that Kacchako gets it's own separate post while I do the rest in another one or two. XD Either way, I hope you enjoy reading this whoever you are. I don't really expect this to get much traction. I'm glad I had fun quirk experimenting regardless. Here's the ships I plan to do the fankid quirk experiments in the next post (or at least the ones I have atm, I might do more later, who knows). Todo/Momo Kami/Jirou Kiri/Mina Hanta/Tsuyu Miru/Hawks (Definitely au for this one since he doesn't have his quirk anymore. Not unless even though the quirk was taken away the genes for the wings quirk is still there? I just want a skvader hero is that too much to ask!? XD) (I tried to put slashes in the ship names in hopes that I don't get people's hopes for nothing when they only see Kacchako in this post) Part 2

Zekina Week 2023: Day 6 Beach

I have been waiting two days to post this! This is my favorite of the bunch and hope to color it one of these days. I've been waiting for more Zeke playing a guitar content but fanfics usually have him as a drummer. So I decided to be the change I wanted to see in the world. XD

I'll leave it to your interpretation of what Zeke is singing to Tina. I definitely have some ideas for what the song could be, but I'm personally having trouble choosing myself. Anyway, I know I'm late with the other two prompts. I'm going to do my best to finish the rest though so I can complete the set. I really wanted to do the prompts I missed as drabbles so I can practice my writing.

Enough about future plans though. I hope you enjoy the sketch as much as I do. X3

Sure the real winners were the TinaxJimmy Jr. shippers for this episode but let me just say I'm satisfied with all the chatting Tina and Zeke did this episode. It's so nice to have them just talk as actual friends. Not just Tina tolerating Zeke for the sake of Jimmy Jr. but actually friendly chatting and mutual concern for their other friend. I don't see enough of that in the show. Also Tina and Zeke just casually considering tackling a guy for Jimmy Jr. is hilarious and that's the kind of chaotic energy I hope for in this pair. XD

I hope I'm not part of the problem because I like to consider myself somewhere in between. I see your point and I agree but that's not going to stop me from being annoyed seeing Jimmy Junior treat Tina not that great. Heck, in "Burger War", an episode after he kissed Tina on her birthday he didn't even remember her name. They have been restaurant neighbors for how many years before the kiss and he doesn't have her name in his memory?! Credit where credit is due, he has shown there is hope for him. In "Bad Tina" he wasn't completely turned off by the idea of being the main love interest in Tina's "Buttloose" story which is nice because she really needed a win after the embarrassment she subjected herself to. In "Every Which Way but Goose" he helped save Bruce the Goose when the bird was stuck by a friendship bracelet caught in a nail when he didn't have to and while he had a sore butt. I know I wouldn't go anywhere near a goose, those are vicious, f u birds.

He went out of his way to give Tina a rose when he had no idea how to purchase a carnation from Tina during the "Gene and Courtney Show" episode.

He sold his bike in "Gene it On" just so he could take Tina on a date "she" (Louise) wanted to go on.

I'm not counting the Sky Kiss from "Bob Actually" because it's hard to tell if it was selfless or not. It seems he wanted to do it more for the cool factor (especially since he implied he wanted Tina to wear a different outfit earlier in the episode in a passive way. Not the best look for him but it's not "spawn of satan" worthy obviously, just kind of mild jerky. To be fair, Tina is always wearing a skirt so maybe he wanted her in pants for the sky kiss for her sake but we'll never know what he meant by that.) In the Bob's Burgers movie he (allegedly! Like with death in fiction, if they didn't show it, it didn't happen./hj XD) found Tina's barretecklace not knowing what it was but knew it looked like something she usually wore and decided to give it to her. That was enough for Tina to see romance wasn't dead and she was okay with the romance real Jimmy Jr. could do even if it may not be like fantasy Jimmy Jr. That's all the selfless acts that I remember him doing for Tina and only for her that didn't benefit him in anyway (aside from more kisses from Tina). Feel free to add any other selfless acts Jimmy Jr has done in the past that didn't benefit him in some way (aside from Tina's affection) What his major issues that I feel people have a problem with stems from 4 factors. 1. He's self absorbed 2. He can't take constructive criticism at all. 3. He's quick to bail on Tina when things get too weird, intense, or hard. 4. He is hot and cold with Tina a lot.

However, even with these flaws, he's hardly the spawn of satan because of them. In fact, in the words of Miss Labonz, I only really wanted to "punch that kid" for what he did in two episodes. 1. "Presto Tina-o" 2. "V for Valentine-detta"

The rest of the time I feel he's not that bad or was justified because Tina has her problems too. She can also be selfish, have misplaced confidence issues, can be creepy, near predatory, and not know when to tone it down with her intense emotions. However, I hate the first episode so much for how both JJ and Zeke treated Tina (though JJ is worse). Jimmy Junior wasn't taking his magic act seriously at all and it was clear he only wanted to do a magic-themed dance routine over an actual magic act. That's not bad in it of itself, but at least be upfront about just wanting to do a magician-themed dance and not an actual magic act. Tina tried to steer him to actually perform tricks in his magic show but Jimmy Junior could not even take the slightest bit of advice from her because he couldn't stand the thought of someone who had only been doing magic for a day trying to help/possibly know more than him when he was 8 days ahead. Then later he and Zeke laugh at her for being mad, low-key bullying her for showing angry emotions (at least that's how it felt for me anyway but I might be biased).

His inability to not take criticism persists even in season 13, but this was his worst showcase of it. Though, even with that, I understand why this is the case. He already feels at home that he's constantly criticized for who he is by his dad. So he refuses to listen to any criticism from his friends because it feels like a personal attack on him, even if it's with the best intentions. His friends are his safe space, so if even his friends have issues with him, no matter how minor, where else can he feel safe? The second episode, good gosh what was Jimmy Junior thinking with this one?! That's something more his dad would pull, not him! I know he's a dumb teenage boy but what he did in that episode was downright malicious (no wonder Linda later changed her mind about Jimmy Jr. from her opinion of him in season 1 and told Tina she wasn't sure about him in "One of the Boyz 4 Now" XD). Not only did he play with Tina, but he dragged Becky down with Tina as well. Good thing Tina helped a girl out in the end after JJ abruptly dumped her. Becky should be part of Tina's new friend group with Susmita and Dillon lol) Though to defend JJ, I feel the way he treated Tina was what he learned subconsciously from his dad. Even though he tells his dad he's his own person, he still falls into similar pitfalls because that's all he's been taught at home. So I feel once he realizes how much he's taking after his dad when he's older he's going to be disgusted with himself and try to be better. So in short, he's been a stinker a few times but there's still hope for him and I'm sure he'll turn out fine if we ever get a real flash-forward episode. While I can't speak for every Zekina shipper, I think part of the overabundance of hatred JJ gets stems from insecurity. While it's been confirmed on Anidom's Twitter poll Zekina is the more popular ship (at least on Twitter), there's still uncertainty to it all. Being the more popular ship doesn't do a darn thing to make it end game (just ask the Zutara shippers from the ATLA fandom). For example, LisaxNelson is the more popular ship in the Simpsons fandom but more often than not Milhouse is the one Lisa ends up with in flash-forward episodes. So even if Zekina is more popular we still very well could not be end game because the cast thinks JJxTina is funnier or is more in line with what Tina wants anyway. Why should Zeke get what he wants and not Tina after all? Why should Tina have to be the one to settle after all the work she's put in to make her fantasy a reality? So because of this possibility, some Zekina shippers might overcompensate by constantly pointing out every negative thing JJ has done and putting him down to make them feel better about their stance. Though, tearing down one ship just to build your own is never a good idea. It just shows your insecurity in your tastes when you bash a rival ship or a character in a rival ship. You don't need a ship to be canon to justify its existence. It's okay to like what you like whether it's endgame or not. If Zekina happens, great but don't pull a Ron the Death Eater on JJ to justify your ship. Jimmy Jr.'s worst crime is that he's a dumb teenage boy with a bad home life. He's not going to be the most well-adjusted, but at least he's not Tammy. He's just self-absorbed, criticism adverse, and an idiot kid that eats pistachios whole. He has a good heart deep down even if he has a lot to work on with himself like all teens do. He won't' be high in my top favorite Bob's Burgers characters but you can bet that he won't be the last either. Don't make JJ the bad guy and lose Zeke and Tina forever because he is clearly hopeless without them. XD

I love Zeke x Tina, but there's so much Jimmy Jr hate in the community. Like... guys, I get it, he can be a bit sour sometimes... but do you know why that is? He's a TEENAGE BOY, not only that, but his parents are divorced, his dad is very neglectful and puts him down, he looks down on his passion for dance and honesty just gives: "I am a toxic straight dad and when I see the slightest bit of creativity, it means pansy and you will be punished"; he's also said that he feels left out and lonely due to his little brothers being twins and being best friends. He's just a kid, a kid who likes to dance, leave him alone. In my head, in a world were Tina and Zeke end up together, Jimmy Jr would still be there, as the bff. The three of them can't be separated, are you kidding me????

So exciting!

@mambocat I think that is bloodstone also known as heliotrope

If you can guess the gem, you can guess who you’re going to meet tomorrow night on a brand new Steven Universe!
