Guys, I Think Zeke Has A Type:

Cute story that I think really captures the humor of the show well!

Summary:

And Zeke smelled so good, like cinnamon and sweat.

Tina stored that information for later.

was hoping to add more characters before posting this wallpaper, but I wanted to make it on time when it came to submitting fanart to the Hey Arnold 25th Anniversary Podcast hosted by the Old School Lane YouTube channel. Go to their channel to see what they are doing soon. Oh well, maybe next time when I comes to the characters. Here's to 25 years of Hey Arnold! (Credit to MELONOLSON for the head inspiration) P.S. I added my HA OC in the wallpaper because it's my fanart and I can do whatever I want with it! LOL XD Plus, I needed to make it symmetrical and she was the only one I had left that made sense. I'll remove her whenever I get around to updating the wallpaper and add more characters.

If They Ever Made a Moana Short:

I would like it to be about Maui and Moana saving the world from the vengeful goddess of death and we find out that she’s actually Maui’s ex-girlfriend, Rohe. Moana becomes angry with Maui for being the one who indirectly created death just because his ex-girlfriend called his original face ugly and didn’t tell her until the last minute.

So cute! Also... Yay! Now I have an excuse to update that prompt I made a while ago through reblog! I found a way to revamp the story to incorporate more of the og element into the story idea but I didn't want to message about it again. I'm just so interested in the original story because it's so needlessly complicated and I so see Tina go that route in her story just because she's Tina. Here's the link to the 2 part video of what I'm talking about.

Anyway, after watching the videos here's the updated cast of characters. I still want some Disney elements in the original idea, but now it has a bit more hilariously, needless plot elements as well. Tina - Tinelle (obviously that doesn't change) Tammy and Jocelyn - Selfish "sisters" Mr. Fischoeder - Calvrice (I couldn't resist the live-action Beauty and the Beast reference with the voice XD) Jimmy Jr. - Jimston

Zeke - Beast

Aunt Gayle - Faerie Queen's sister

Zeke's stepmom - The queen and the beast's mother that was in the war during the story.

Linda Belcher - The faerie queen

Bob Belcher - Tina's real father and also a king

Gene - The singing rose. (maybe, I'm open for other options for Gene and Louise in this revamp) That's it with the cast changes to my original prompt. The only things I would change from the og story is that I obviously don't want to imply Zeke and Tina are cousins or that the reason Zeke is a beast is because of some creepy, pedo fairy. I think I would change that creepy fairy plot to Zeke, having feelings for his nanny fairy, but the nanny fairy took the clear NO of the situation too far and he's a beast to teach him to not go after older women at such a very young age. (I think it fits better for Zeke because of that one moment in "Can't Buy Me Math" when he tried to come on to an older, married woman after Tina gave him that motivation which clearly wouldn't have worked out. XD)

@tacosandtouchtanks I have my first TinaxZeke fanart I want to submit for your blog. I’m gonna do them as as many Disney couples as I can manage.

Zekina Wedding Headcanons Because Why Not!

I did a glimpse of a wedding headcanon for this ship in one of my other Zekina posts, but now I want to make it its own thing.

Before I start though. There's a line of dialogue from the episode "So You Stink You Can Dance" that I have been stuck on for a while. I didn't want to make another post for that episode because I already have two. So I'm pairing it with this because it sort of fits the theme. Jimmy Jr.: I know what this is! Tina: Two friends who care about you, and their cousin Leslie. Tina what do you mean "their"?! Leslie isn't your cousin and last I checked, Zeke didn't use they/them pronouns (Not that I'm against him using they/them if the character decides to because that's mean, but I'm just making a point here). Tina could have said "and Zeke's cousin Leslie", "and cousin Leslie", or even just "and Leslie". Either Tina had a Freudian slip moment or Dan Mintz really needed to redo that take so it would stop crazy people like me from overthinking lines like that. XD You don't just involve two people in a sentence and then imply both people have a familial relationship with a third person when it's not the case like that! XD As a self-proclaimed crazy person, I'm taking this as Tina is eventually going to marry Zeke after all so that line can be true and Leslie becomes Tina's cousin-in-law. XD Okay now onto the wedding headcanons 1. Tina and Zeke get married on the beach. (I already said this before but now I'm clarifying it again)

2. They get married on July 28th (it was the day the first zombie movie, "White Zombie" was released. Also, a summer beach wedding seems more fitting than a fall one. The first "Night of the Living Dead" was released on October 1st while the remake was released on the 19th of the same month)

3. Their cake toppers are a tiny, bride mustard bottle and a tiny, groom ketchup bottle (originally wanted to do sea urchin and sea cucumber but condiment bottles fit better in my opinion). The cake is white and blue with yellowish-orange (like American cheese) stars lining the bottom of the layers. I wanted to combine an ocean theme and a burger theme combo for the cake. 4. Bob's Burger of the day for the wedding will be called the "Something Blue" cheeseburger (it was originally the longer version, but he shortened it down when he realized less was more for this one). It's a burger topped with blue cheese, fried zucchini (though Gene insisted to go with the Italian translation, zucchina. Bob didn't really get it at first because he didn't know what ship names were. A whole new world of burger ideas was opened once he got the concept of ship names), and ketchup (because it kind of rhymes "getcha" XD)

5. Since the "something blue" is the burger, here's the rest. Old - Tina's glasses. She inconveniently loses the yellow ones that I gave her in my adult design of her and has no choice but to use her old, thick, black ones. New - The fresh, blue daisies she has in her hair. Borrowed - The barrette Zeke keeps on his ear. He lets her borrow it for bangs to keep them in place. That's right, the yellow thing on my design for adult Zeke wasn't another earring. Instead of barrettecklace, Zeke just clips the thing onto his ear like a clip-on earring. Does it hurt? Maybe. Regardless now you all know that it wasn't another earring but Tina's barrette. 6. Cheryl's kid is the flower girl and Sidecar is the ring bearer. (Though if Cheryl's kid turns out to be a boy then Sidecar is the flower boy and Cheryl's kid is the ring bearer because I thought it be cute and funny.) 7. Louise and Gene share the status as the maids of honor while Dillon and Susmita are bridesmaids. Louise wears a suit, Gene wears a suit-dress combo, and the rest wear dresses. 8. Jimmy Jr., in spite of everything is Zeke's best man while the other groomsmen are Rudy and Leslie. They all wear suits. (Zeke needs another friend just so I can make it even between the bridesmaids and groomsmen lol. open to suggestions for the fourth member. I could do Andy and Ollie and just add Jocelyn to Tina's side but I'm not feeling it for multiple reasons) 9. Zeke, of course, tells the Wagstaff Whaler story like he said he would. Meanwhile, Tina surprises Zeke and everyone (except Louise and Gene) when she provides a stitched-together version of all the moments she wrote about Zeke in her diary in chronological order. It was a very sweet way of showing Zeke the progression of her feelings from when she first meant him to now. Louise and Gene helped her with the idea before the wedding to be sure that it didn't get too spicy and for another Buttloose incident to occur. 10. Gene provides the music for the wedding but I'm having trouble deciding who will sing. For me, it's between Linda, Gayle, Courtney, or Daryl. 11. Zeke takes Tina's last name which represents to Tina that when Zeke first said "he was going to get her" it wasn't to "win her" as if she was an easy trophy but that he was determined enough to do whatever it takes to earn her love no matter how unlikely. 12. Susmita did the best she could juggling being a bridesmaid and wedding photographer. Tina and Zeke appreciate her pictures regardless since they know that she's not an official wedding photographer, she's just really good at taking pictures. Get what you pay for and all that jazz. 13. Zeke and Tina spend their honeymoon sailing and then being marooned on Quippiquisset Island because of boat troubles (and for real this time, for the sake of comedic/dramatic irony. I got the idea from vaguely remembering season 6, episode 1 of the Nanny.). Don't worry the rest of the Belcher family gets the 2 off the island eventually. XD

14. They had lobster at the wedding as well as burgers. Couldn't not let Tina have her fantasy lobster wedding feast. XD Bob wasn't particularly pleased by it but he let it go because it was what Tina wanted in the end. As long as Bob, Gene, or anyone else allergic doesn't eat any of the lobster it should be fine. What the heck, Zeke gets his braised lamb shank too. lol 15. Tina's wedding bouquet would comprise of white gardenias, red roses, and lavenders.

I think 15 is a good number to stop at. Hope you enjoy the headcanons and that it gives you inspiration for later.

To My Fellow INFP Brethren

If you’re ever having trouble remembering your function order here’s a sentence to help you.

“INFPs are a FiNe SiTe to behold.”

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
