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

This is why I made the poll for the pen name. https://www.tumblr.com/dreamboundedstar/714892108056674304/which-sounds-like-the-best-pen-name-for-tina?source=share I'm aware that I chose 2nd place but the poll was never about picking the winner but to help me realize what I really wanted. Shout out to the people that commented on the Reddit post I made that helped me figure out what I really wanted for Tina's pen name as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/BobsBurgers/comments/12p8xdk/imagine_this_tina_has_grown_to_be_a_successful/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Tori Ryder as Tina's pen name is my backup plan in case the show makes its own pen name for Tina or uses her real name. That way I can say it's a completely different person and Tina's just projecting onto the cover as usual. Now that I got credits out of the way onto the piece at hand. Anyway, I've been wanting to do this for a while because I love Greek mythology, Tina loves horses, immediately wanted to do Tina as a centaur. I thought it would be funny to have one of older Tina's published stories be centaur people and a minotaur. I was hesitant to do it for a while though because drawing horse and cow anatomy is intimidating as all get out. Any other option would be expensive though so I eventually put on my big girl pants and did this. I think this piece made me develop carpal tunnel but it was worth it. Serves me right for not remembering to use my whole arm when drawing anyway. XD Originally the idea had Tina as the alicorn centaur and Jimmy Jr. as the sea centaur because Tina would want to be the alpha horse person while it was easy to pun JJ's name as a sea centaur (Swimmy Jr. XD). I switched it when I realized that Tina also had a love for marine life and her being a sea centaur became more fitting. So now onto the name of the characters for this fake story Zeke - Iezekial the minotaur Tina - Princess Tritina the ichthyocentaur

Jimmy Jr. - Prince Iakobos II the Sky Kisser the alicorn centaur Anyway, this is a fake cover I wanted to do because I thought it would be funny to do a trashy romance novel parody. I'm not intending to make a story based on the cover ever. I already have other story ideas that are slowly dying so I don't need to add another one. XD Here's the cover I based my cover's color palette on. https://books.google.com/books/content?id=UHWJkQdCSSwC&pg=PP1&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&bul=1&sig=ACfU3U3w_r4ifjjKvLVPGpz285AX4gHYLw&w=1280 You're free to do a fanfic based on this cover if you want though. I encourage it so I don't have to do it! XD The basic idea is the story is a love triangle story and you're free to decide who wins (though it's Ancient Greece and it's Tina, you read the context clues XD). Anyway, hope you like it! I'm really proud of this piece. :3

I wanted to update you, thanks to "So You Stink You Can Dance", I now conclude that Zeke became a Wagstaff student in 6th grade over 5th grade. It's thanks to Leslie getting his spirit crushed by Spencer that I was able to figure it out. Given Leslie can drive, is not much taller than Jimmy Jr., and I assume around the same height as Logan, the youngest he can be is 16. He also could probably be 17 or 18 but I'm going with 16 for now. I believe he would be much taller if he was in his 20s. Leslie used to love dancing and Zeke has a video of him on his phone his cousin dancing at the age of 13. We find out that Leslie tried to take his dancing to the next level "a few years ago" so it is at least more than 2. Since this is the first time Jimmy Jr. is hearing about Leslie getting crushed by the same man that he is going to get criticism from, Leslie had to have been rejected before Zeke went to Wagstaff. If he was rejected when Zeke and Jimmy Jr were already friends, you know Zeke would have been talking about it with JJ for comfort so it wouldn't make sense for JJ not to already know the story before the episode.

So my timeline is Leslie got the brutal criticism at 13 (to be fair, he could have been older when he tried out, but I think the intention of the episode was to show he tried out at the same age JJ and the rest to parallel his situation) while Zeke was 10. Zeke's family moves again when Zeke turns 11 and the scar of Leslie getting his dancing spirit crushed has faded after a year. He goes to Wagstaff in the 6th grade and meets a new friend with a passion for dancing that reminds him of the passion his cousin used to have and they immediately click, much to Tina's dismay.

I prefer 6th grade to 5th grade for Zeke anyway because it shows Tina's original disdain for Zeke in his fist appearance was fresh but not too fresh when it comes to him taking JJ's attention from her.

I have been rewatching some Bob's Burgers episodes and now I am going to show my headcanon of when Zeke first came to Wagstaff. TLDR version, I think Zeke became a student at Wagstaff between 4th and 7th grade. I think my safe bet is either 5th or 6th grade unless I find more evidence. Here's the evidence of how I came to the conclusion. So we know that Zeke wasn't there when Tina, Jocelyn, and Jimmy Jr. were in third grade because in the episode, "Can't Buy Me Math" Jocelyn immediately reveals that she remembers "the pee thing" while neither Zeke nor Tammy comment on it (Also wanted to bring up I know Darryl said 2nd grade but keep in mind he's a grade lower than Tina and the rest). Tammy doesn't because she wasn't there when it happened because she became a Wagstaff student in 8th grade. Jimmy Jr. left before we could ever find out if he remembered. Tammy and Zeke would have definitely commented on remembering it if they knew about it, one being more malicious about it than the other mind you.

So to me, I think it's safe to say that Zeke wasn't with them during third grade. I don't think Zeke was in Wagstaff in 4th grade either because in the episode, "A Fish Called Tina" We get a flashback of 9-year-old Tina with other students. Jimmy Jr. and Jocelyn are in the flashback, but not Zeke. Lastly, in the episode, "A Few Gurt Men" it is revealed by Mr. Branca that someone tried to flush down three spoons last year, which Zeke apologized for. So it's safe to say Zeke was with them during 7th grade and didn't just recently transfer to Wagstaff in the 8th grade like Tammy. So because of the evidence I gathered so far, I think between 4th and 7th grade is when Zeke moved and became a student at Wagstaff.

My guess is 5th or 6th grade until I see something that contradicts it.

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.

Disney Crossover Headcanon

Since the Hercules Animated series included Norse and Egyptian Mythology in the same universe. I accept Moana and Hercules to be in the same universe as my headcanon.

Now all I need a Disney movie about the Jade Emperor and I’m happy.

Just some indulgent "Shadows of the Old World", Olwint fanart

Long story short, I had an idea for a headcanon and then made a poem around that headcanon. The poem led to this comic. I just find their relationship so sweet and adorable. It has a very low chance of them being canon in the series, but I don't care. I love this ship too much to just not draw them being cute. The closest to canon it is so far is that Flint has a crush on Olwen, but Olwen has her eyes for another character but has too low of self-esteem to actively pursue it atm. Just a reminder. These characters are part of @joshscorcher's DND, Youtube series, "Shadows of the Old World". It's a sequel game session from his first series, "Welcome to the Show".

Zekina Headcanons Part 3 (or Maybe 4?)

1. I don't see this used enough in fanfiction but I think Linda, Louise, and Gene would absolutely be aware of Tina's complicated feelings about Zeke. Not because it would be obvious (even though it would be) but because they read her diary. Tina keeps a very detailed record in her diary so Linda and her siblings would absolutely be aware of all the big Zekina moments like "Midday Run" and "Oeder Games"

So my point I'm bringing up is Louise and Gene may not have been able to interpret Tina's dream in "Go Tina on the Mountain" but Linda as a grown woman would be able to (eventually because I mean she's not a genius, but we still love her). Of course, since Linda is a good mom she would never constantly push her to give Zeke a chance because in the end, it's Tina's choice what she wants to do and it should be respected. Though when Tina is older and is struggling to admit her feelings it would be the perfect opportunity for Linda to come to console her and give her two cents on the whole thing. She would tell Tina that maybe she should "Green Eggs and Ham" it. Linda reassures her no one is expecting her to marry Zeke, all they hope for is for her to try out new dishes and see what happens. If it doesn't work out they'll still love her and won't give her grief for it not working. Linda also is convinced that Tina wants to give Zeke a try more than she's willing to admit (thanks to her prior info on the old diary entries). Linda feels that Tina's just scared of letting go of her dreams and letting them evolve. Just because what she wanted didn't work out doesn't mean it was for nothing. All the time spent dreaming was important for her to develop into the person she is now. So Linda tells her to never stop dreaming her crazy fantasies but also don't let them blind her from what's in front of her. Let the fantasies grow and change as she lets herself change. It's not giving up, it's growing up. 2. I think one big struggle I could see happening for older Tina to admit that she actually like likes Zeke is because of how easily the universe seems to be driving them together. It would be so frustrating for her to have every one of her loved ones adoring Zeke and Zeke effortlessly meeting every one of Tina's "extremely high" standards. Like, what was the universe doing when she was with Jimmy Jr., come on?! Zeke is basically the gift Tina never asked for, trapped in an unappealing package, and yet still had everything she could ever need in it. She would claim to just see Zeke as a friend even when everything around her is unintentionally/intentionally pushing her toward him and it's very annoying. Part of her deep down would want to give in but if she does then it proves that everything she ever wanted was wrong and she wasted all this time pursuing it for nothing when there was a perfectly decent guy in front of her. She would refuse to admit that to herself because she wouldn't be able to handle the heavy truth. It couldn't be that hard for her to eventually find the perfect guy that has Zeke's character, Jimmy Jr.'s body, a sexy accent, and maybe even owns a horse farm in Paris, right? She wouldn't want to give up her fantasies so easily when she's been hoping for them for so long. Would choosing Zeke really be worth letting go of all the potential guys that could fulfill all that she ever dreamed of? Would Tina and Zeke be able to go back to being friends if it didn't work out? Once Tina would finally let Zeke try to "get her" it would only take one date for her questions to be answered.

3. Zeke would be very into the times Tina threatened to punch someone again and again and again and again... you get the picture. XD Zeke would try to get Tina to settle down, but he gives it a minute before he does. lol

4. Zeke can surprisingly be very smooth and charming when he wants to be. It's to the point Tina is flabbergasted seeing this is the same guy that thought a good way to flirt with a girl was to spit a loogie up in the air and catch it in his mouth. 5. Tina volunteers every now and then to babysit Cheryl's kid when Zeke can't babysit his half-sibling for whatever reason. 6. Zeke is a bad dancer because he's too stiff but that doesn't stop him from dancing and dragging Tina along with him. His confidence and having no shame make up for his lack of good dancing moves.

7. Tina later on in life would try to learn capoeira again, for the right reasons this time. She practices with Zeke as he practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu. They like to see how each pan out with their different styles of Brazilian martial arts. The results vary greatly but they are trying at least. (I had to take this coincidence as fast as I could because it was so funny that they both mentioned doing some type of Brazilian martial arts at one point. Maybe I just want Tina and Zeke to pin each other? lol XD)

That's all I got for now. I stayed true to my word and gave new headcanons after the "So You Stink You Can Dance" came out. Hopefully one of these inspires one of you Zekina shippers to utilize it. The first two headcanons are basically me trying to picture how I see an older Tina would react to Zeke being more forward about wanting to date her. I wanted to balance her confidence and insecurity. I'm an INFP like Tina is so I'm trying super hard not to project my own low confidence onto Tina. She needs to be insecure but not too insecure that she loses what makes her a badass. She doesn't want to come off as easy to capture because Zeke made such a big deal of confidence in getting her eventually in "Midday Run". He'll have her heart when he pries it out of her cold, undead, zombie hands! XD

I’m just as confused as you are Shorty! The battle of the sexes angle always made me scratch my head figuratively. I mean technically it was three episodes with “Helga’s Makeover”, The Harold vs.Patty episode and “Ghost Bride”. Other than those three episodes, gender isn’t that big of an issue like it was on Jimmy Neutron for example.

This chapter of this wonderful fanfiction has Curly make a joke about it https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13297726/20/Hey-Arnold-Season-6-The-Mitigators , but I could have sworn the author mentioned something about why the intro is the way it is in one of the author’s notes. I’m positive that Craig mentioned it at one point in an interview what it was a reference to, but I can’t remember what the gosh darn reference is! All I can remember is something about Craig mentioning it was a reference to something and how he wanted to twist it around to have a more chill approach because that’s who Arnold is. I wish I could be more helpful.

Does anyone have any earthly idea why the HEY ARNOLD! opening sequence is… like That?

Human Silvikal by 0-Sahara-0

Alright so this ship might be a bit out there but I don’t even care, this art is too pretty too pass up.

Aww, thanks! I don't know if I would call a song that inserted the word, "diarrhea" in it beautiful but that's what I chose regardless because I thought it fit the Bob's Burgers humor. lol I made a sequel to it as well. This time it's a poem pretending to be a song from the perspective of Tina singing it to Zeke. Like the last one, it's basically a free song if you want to use it in a BB fanfic or something. I'm open to edits if you can find a better stanza than what I have been doing. All I ask is for a shout-out to me for the original poem. Basically, the song hypothetically would have taken a year after Zeke's song in my story. It just seems about the right amount of time for Tina to be fully committed to the Zekina relationship, ready to say the L word, and everything. Anyway, enough chitchat! Time for part two!

When I was two or maybe three

I was always drawn to a certain physique

To my younger self, I now say I strongly disagree

Cause I found the one who makes my knees go weak

Some say his breath may reek

Or that he’s a messed up, twisted freak

They can all take back their lousy critiques

Because there isn’t anything that I would tweak

I don’t need a body built like the Ancient Greeks

I just need those four embraceable cheeks

An intelligent mind full of wit and mystique

It pales to one that supports me when I can’t speak

I once believed in someday my prince would come

How could I ever have been so dumb

Cause I thought if I ever earned a boy that chic

I’d be free from feeling I’m just a messed up, twisted freak

If they say that I reached my peak

That’s something I can easily eke

Even if the whole world calls me a geek

I know to you I’ll always be unique

I don’t need a body built like the Ancient Greeks

I just need those four embraceable cheeks

I’m done chasing boys with fancy dancing techniques

They will never light a candle to your smile when things get bleak

So if the zombie apocalypse comes in less than a week

Before my bones become earths humble antique

I need to tell you this now, no matter how meek

I love you…. (momentarily stops as she's being kissed by you know who) Zeke

Fanfiction Prompt Idea! Inspiration struck me like a bolt of lightning and I leaped at the chance before it went away. I was drawn to making song lyrics from the pov of Zeke singing to Tina (really just wanted to rhyme things a lot of things with TinaXD). It's just lyrics, no musical notes. So it's useless unless you want to use it for fanfiction. So that's why I'm submitting this. Here's a free song for you that Zeke could sing in your fanfiction to Tina. I'm extremely open to edits if you think you can find a way to make it better for your story. All I ask is credit be given to me for my original lyrics. I tried to make the lyrics fit the show's brand of humor. So I hope you like it. I also like to clarify you're free to edit it as you wish if you want to use it for a fanfiction idea.

Oh Tina For you my heart spins like a ballerina You’ve made me laugh more than a hyena When the world says you can’t ina You say yes you cantina

Smarter than Athena Stronger than diarrhea Pretty as a gardenia Spicier than paprika Eureka, oh Tina

And oh, though the future’s unknown I may never not give you a reason to groan But no matter what, this is set in stone I’m never gonna leave you alone

So even if your sister is up to some crazy schema That lands her in a giant prison arena I’ll help you flee the country to avoid the subpoena I recommend Argentina (Tina: Wait what?) How about it Bonita?

Oh, no matter where we roam (Tina: Are we just going to brush off that last one?!) From our crimes that we must atone (Tina: Ah screw it!) One thing’s for sure, deep down in my corazon (Tina: Really leaning in with the Spanish huh?) You’ll always be my home (Tina: Aww!)

T is for your true blue heart I is for how inspiring you were from the start N is my nerves for you I’ll never grasp A is for your oh so great taste in ass

Oh, though the future’s unknown I’m never gonna stop giving you a reason to groan But no matter what, this is set in stone You’re never gonna be alone

I wish I could go on and on everyday and spill all that I need to say I can’t claim forever, I only have today So in short, oh Tina you take my breath away

(I'm showing I'm a very petty person for showing up Jimmy Jr. with his own song lyrics from "Two for Tina" oops! XD)

Help Former Archie Artists!

Yesterday’s confirmation of the official Sonic comics being cancelled was a heavy blow to a lot of us.  Over 20 years’ worth of storytelling and mythology unique in the Sonic franchise has disappeared with little more than a quiet murmur.  Our project isn’t going anywhere, and despite our rocky release schedule I hope we can help somewhat fill the void left in many a fan’s hearts.  However, we fans are not the only victims here.  While we’ve been desperately waiting for some sort of news regarding the comic’s fate these last six months, the creative team in charge of the comic has been struggling to make ends meet without their main source of income.  The cancellation was as abrupt to them as it was to us, probably even more so because we at least had half a year to let the idea sink in.  For many years they’ve delivered us quality writing and artwork that made Archie Sonic as enjoyable as it was, and now it’s our time to return the favor.  Below you can see the links to several of the Archie team’s Patreon pages (the ones I could find at least, please let us know if we missed any).  Make a pledge if you can, or at least help spread the word.  No matter how little of an amount you can donate, every bit will help them.  The creation of Archie Sonic Online in the first place is proof of what fans are capable of when they band together under a common goal.  Now, we need to do the same thing for the sake of the Archie team and their families.  We implore you all to do the right thing, not as fellow Archie fans, but as fellow human beings who wish each other the best in life.
