Great analysis of both uses of the boys as villains. The way she portrayed Jimmy Jr. in her story is so interesting. To try to further analyze Tina's story. I feel that making Jimmy Jr. the villain and his motivation also links to Tina's desire of wanting him to be more infatuated with her than he acts now. Tina wants Jimmy Jr. to want her as much as she wants him.

However, the majority of the moments that were close to the case for Tina was when Jimmy Jr. got jealous of Tina being interested in boys that weren't him. So what better way to express that desire of wanting Jimmy Jr. to be obsessed with her than by making him the villain of her story that is willing to exterminate the world? That way there's no doubt that they will be together forever. Though further into the story we see Dark JJ doesn't want to marry Tina out of love but possession. If it was for love, Jimmy Jr. would want to dance with her at their wedding, but no, he tells her outright that he wants to dance on his own. Probably not wanting Tina to cramp his style I assume. Maybe this is Tina subconsciously telling herself that JJ's jealousy is not linked with love but possession. I mean, Jimmy Jr. does like Tina, but he's not ready to handle all of her at the age of 13. I also feel Jimmy Jr's feelings for Tina are more linked to liking how much she likes him more than him actually liking her. This makes sense given his possessiveness when she explores other options but wishy-washy when she has her attention on him.

Jimmy Jr. doesn't have the best home life so it would make sense why he's possessive with Tina and Zeke. He doesn't want to lose the few good things he has in his life, even though he doesn't treat them that well when he does have them. He's in a constant push and pull of wanting to keep his loved ones close but not too close that they could hurt him because he already knows the feeling of being hurt by his parents (mostly his dad, his mom is probably fine). Jimmy Jr. doesn't want to lose the attention Tina provides, but he doesn't feel comfortable giving the same amount she gives him because that's simply not in his nature. Tina is also no angel either so it's understandable why JJ would want to keep his distance when Tina gets creepy. TLDR, Tina's story is linked to her desire for Jimmy Jr's feelings for her to be as intense as it is for her. She wants to be the woman that is so loved that one guy is willing to wipe out the entire population minus her, JJ, Zeke, and the Boyz For Now just to be with her. Though she also subconsciously tells herself a possessive love is super toxic and not something you should strive for. P.S. Also to add. Even as Zeke is helping JJ wipe out the population, Tina still portrays him as cordial and even taking the time to say hi to her and offering bean dip. Also, Tina and Zeke have a red-and-blue clothing dynamic in her story which I love. How can you say they aren't meant to be when they're wearing red and blue respectively in Tina's story!?/hj XD

Thinking so hard about Tina writing JJ as a villain Vs. Her writing Zeke as a villain

"I told you I was gonna ketchup. All I needed was thyme and the right words mustard up. I will relish every moment I have with you. There's no beef that will keep me away from you. I look forward to my future with someone as amazing as you. For now, mayo cheese have this dance?" I really wanted to write a stupid, punny speech/letter thing involving ingredients for burgers that Zeke could say/write down. I mean, ketchup kind of rhymes with "getcha" so I didn't want to waste that opportunity. lol

I hate drawing backgrounds! It was worth it to do this idea justice though. Now even if the show doesn't follow up on Zeke's declaration of marriage. We can at the very least look at this to satisfy our needs. Honestly, at this point, I'll take anything as a follow up for Zeke's "gonna getcha" quote, even if it's a nightmare from Tina. Like she has another switching heads dream but this time Tina is in the middle of marrying Jimmy Jr. but after she kisses him she sees Zeke's face instead. She immediately wakes up screaming from the rude head switching during her perfect wedding dream kiss. XD

Just felt like making Zeke and Tina 16-year-old designs. I have funny lore for Tina's heart/star symbol. At first, she thought the symbol was a good idea and represented her at the time. Louise and Gene immediately point out that the symbol looks like an abstract version of Gayle's butthole paintings. She denies it at first but then checks the bathroom mirror just in case. Cue Tina saying in the bathroom... Tina: No, no, no why!!!! Now she just prays no one else would notice until she eventually owns it like her beautiful, confident self should. I gave Tina sneaker boots because I thought they fit her. Now she can be big booty Tina but still have her sneakers, best of both worlds. XD

Zeke meanwhile doesn't have much added to him aside from that I gave his shirt more shades of gray and implied it had sleeves once, Boy just loves ripping sleeves. I gave him wristbands because I thought they fit him as the wrestling type. He also has a sweatband but he doesn't use it as often as his wristbands. I gave him boots instead of his usual sneakers because he just looked like a guy who would wear boots eventually.

Also, Zeke has a mohawk, it's just not as long as it is in his 22-year-old age.

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.

Bob's Burger's Incorrect Quotes 3

Zeke: [straightening himself out] So, I did write down a wish. [he brings out a card] I'd uh. I'd like to go on a date...with Tina.

Jimmy Jr.: [turns] You? You're terrible with girls.

Zeke: What? No. No. No. Jimmy Jr., look at this. And this. And this here. Jimmy Jr., look at all of this. [he gestures to different parts of his body and spins around] Heh. No. I'm great with girls.

[Scene flashes back to a cheap fast food joint. Zeke and a busty, blonde-haired woman are standing at a counter with buckets of chicken drumsticks.]

Zeke: We both got buckets of chicken. Wanna do it?

Blonde Woman: [shrugs] Eh, okay.

[Scene switches back to Jimmy Jr. and Zeke.]

Zeke: But you, Jimmy Junior. You are amazing with ladies. You know, classy ones. The kind that smell good, and can read. And that always have their glasses on just kind of crooked. You know? The ones that don't go for a guy like me.

[Jimmy Jr. looks at Zeke with a smug grin.]

Jimmy Jr.: Hmm, and why is that, do you think?

Zeke: C'mon, Jimmy Jr., I don't know.

Jimmy Jr.: Well, a mystery we will take to our graves then. Goodbye.

Zeke: Wait. Wait. Ah. [sigh] Okay. Look. Fine. Jimmy Junior. This never leaves this room [sigh]. You are better than me. All right? I need your help.

Jimmy Jr.: I'll do it. On one condition.

Jimmy Jr.: Say that [pushes his phone that’s recording towards Zeke] again.

I Just Really Want to Talk About This Scene From “Mazel Tina”

I don't know how fans feel about this episode in general (I mean, Tina wasn't her most selfless this episode and poor Louise had to be stuck with Tammy all because Tina decided to do nothing about it) The one highlight of the episode I wanted to talk about was this moment with Zeke. It was so cute! Zeke was such a ham, hyper, and I love it! I'm just going to copy and paste the frames that I saved and add commentary to them. Here we go!

Man, why do you look so nervous in this frame Zeke?! Also to add, in the establishing shot before this frame, Zeke was clearly closer to the table than Jimmy Jr was. Why in such a hurry Zeke, hmm X3!? Okay, enough shippy jokes. The reasonable explanation for this is Zeke is hyped up on sugar and is just antsy from that while probably wanting to eat a burger asap. I can still indulge in the thought of Zeke being nervous around Tina though and no one can stop me!

Zeke putting his arm first on the table just proves further that Zeke was closer to the table than Jimmy Jr. was. Zeke just really wants that burger. Still antsy from the 3 sugary drinks (Tammy-tinis) he had.

There goes Tina again, still hating having to fight for Jimmy Jr.'s attention again because Zeke's just chilling. My how far she has come. Okay, now that the next frames are just me highlighting Zeke's adorable hyper moments.

Look he be soaring from his sugar high! XD

Look at this boy! How can you hate such a happy, hyper kid?!

:]! That is all I have to say about this one.

I just really wanted to share my love for this one scene of Zeke. He had no reason to be that cute with his sugar rush explosion! Protect this tiny, gremlin child!

Since Zekina had taken over me now, might as well share what I thought fit for them. I mean, I could so see this being a Boyz 4 Now song that Tina would listen to. XD Man, this makes me nostalgic for simpler times. Hilary Duff and Jesse McCarthy were my jam back in my Disney Channel obsession days. XD Still, this band name is one letter away from being a reptilian, crime-fighting team, what's up with that?

Zekina Princess and the Frog AU Idea

I really wanted to write down this prompt idea because this is somehow the most perfect idea and also the most frustrating in how much I have to fix it up to make it work in this idea. XD Like you think, yay restaurant this is perfect, but no actually because Tiana and Tina are vastly different personalities and I have to completely redo the path she goes along to do the things she does. So anyway, here's the cast I have so far. It's not going to be a complete list because I'm going to leave it up to anyone else who wants to do this idea. Tina - Tiana (I don't even have to change anything for her name XD) Tiana was once an idealistic young girl full of dreams of love. She dreamed of getting married to her childhood sweetheart. However, after the death of her father and getting her heart broken by her childhood sweetheart she vowed to help make her father's dream come true. She stuffs down her idealistic, hopeless romantic self deep down in order to never be hurt by a cute dancing boy again. So instead of pursuing love like her younger self would have wanted, she chose what she felt was the easier option and work hard to make "Bob's Burgers" a real restaurant in honor of the dream her father never got to see through. She feels that it would be wrong to even consider trying to find love again when her dad never got to finish his dream. Still, when she's alone, and no one's looking she still writes about the fantasies of love she wishes would be real for her as a stress reliever from all that life throws at her. She is a decent cook but she often laments about how she'll never be as good as her father was. Even so, she refuses to let his legacy die.

Zeke - Prince Zaveen Zaveen is not really a prince but a con artist that's flat-out broke. He does have an immensely wealthy inheritance coming his way but only if he gets married. His parents consider him a screw-up for never finding a talent that he could profit from. He spends his days flirting, having fun, and living his best life but all of this is to hide much of a loser he feels like and to fill the void of how lonely he actually is.

He later finds out he has a talent for cooking as a frog to the point Tiana brought is to tears because it reminds her so much of her dad's cooking. Zaveen also gets Tiana to dance again after giving it up years ago when her heart got broken. Tammy - Tottie La Bouf Tottie's a horrible, rich girl that has never heard the word "no" in her life. The only reason Tiana even associates with the girl is that Tottie's parents pay Tiana's mother to make so many of Totties dresses. Tottie tricked Tiana to kiss so many frogs in their youth because at first she couldn't be bothered to do the work of finding a frog prince herself but then she just kept tricking her into doing it just to find out how long it will take her to figure out she was being duped. Tottie causes kids to know Tiana as "frog lips" and the poor girl was never able to live it down even in her adult years. Tottie in the end would do only one unselfish thing for Tiana after years of being terrible to her. Linda - Lindora Lindora is Tiana's mother who makes all of Tottie's dresses. All she wants for Tiana is for her to be happy and live for herself. As long as Tiana is set on making her late father's dream come true the best she can do is hope that Tiana will finally let herself live for her own dreams (and maybe finally get some grandkids XD). Bob - Bob (you try to come up with a good name combination of Bob and James! LOL)

Bob is Tiana's late father. All he ever wanted was to be able to own a restaurant that sold creative burgers that made people happy. He died before he could ever see that dream come to be. He loved his family so much though that as long as he still had them he didn't care that he didn't live to see his restaurant dream come to pass.

The Fishoeder brothers - The Fishfenner brothers It just made perfect sense. I mean Calvin is a landlord so that's close enough to a real estate agent I suppose. lol Teddy - Leddy the alligator Seems like a decent enough pick. That's all the cast I can think of for this idea. I have no idea how to even include Gene and Louise in the story? I don't even know who to pick for Dr. Facilier either which is a shame. This idea all started because I thought "Never Knew I Needed" fit Zekina really well. So I thought, hey why not put the prompt idea out in the world to see if anybody digs it too. Though I did leave the story with a funny plot hole that could get called out by Tina herself that since Zaveen was never a real prince so she has no way of turning them both human again. So she has to shoehorn in an abrupt reason for it to work, oops! XD @tacosandtouchtanks

So fingers crossed someone gets inspired by this!

Sneak Peek Sunday: she really is a funny girl

[I know I missed the last two weeks, sorry! Life be happening.]

I’m trying a thing this month where I plan to share a little bit of a fic I’m working on every Sunday, and we’re swerving back to Bob’s Burgers this week! @qilin-crusader sent a prompt for a Tina/Zeke Beauty and the Beast AU to @tacosandtouchtanks (found here) and expressed interest when I said I had an idea for how I wanted to parody the opening song from the Disney movie. (This is part of the opening scene, so there’s no Tina/Zeke yet, just setup.)

Word count is roughtly 1500, Tina’s POV, set the summer after The Bob’s Burgers Movie, no major warnings

“It’s just until Linda gets back,” Bob explains. “She’s in Florida helping her parents with something, so I’m manning the counter… and the grill … and bussing the tables when I can, but… it’s fine. Here. It’s – we’ve got it… fine.”

“Hmm,” says Mr. Fischoeder. “Have you considered child labor in the meantime?”

Tina leans over so she can see out the cook’s window. She waves her spatula at the two men. “Hi.”

“She’s fourteen,” Dad tells Mr. Fischoeder. “It’s not that illegal.”

“I’m not here to judge, Bob,” says Mr. Fischoeder.

“Really?” says Dad. “Because it kind of seemed like you were a minute ago.”

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 think the biggest win for the Zekina shippers in this episode was Zeke telling Tina that the speech she gave to Jimmy Jr. was amazing. Can't wait until that gets clipped in a Zeke and Tina interaction compilation on Youtube. XD It definitely fuels my headcanon that the reason Zeke likes Tina so much is that she's always surprising him and also how inspirational she is. Also, another moment I thought was funny was Zeke and Tina were really considering kidnapping Jimmy Jr. and feeding him soup (Jay Ju likes soup as it turns out) just so Jimmy Jr.'s dreams don't get crushed. It didn't work because Leslie was busy. XD This is what I'm talking about! XD

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

Fantastic art

Is It the Next Last Day on Earth Already?

Hooray, I finished this before the next episode came out! This is pretty self-explanatory. I just wanted to make a cute pic of Tina kissing Zeke. Make whatever backstory you want for this moment. XD

Random Bob's Burgers Shipping(?) Thought

Okay, I haven't seen every Bob's Burgers episode yet but I just have a thought I hope they address eventually in the show. Since Hugo was engaged to Linda at one point, he must have met her sister Gayle at least once during the engagement. I really want so badly to know how Hugo would react to a mess like Gayle. I don't really ship them per se because I know it would never, ever work out for multiple reasons but I want to see them too at least have a "history" together before Linda called off the engagement. Gayle being Gayle would think it was more than it actually was while Hugo would just want to bury it deep down that awful memory and they both agree to never speak of it again for completely different reasons. Gayle already tried to make moves on Bob before, so you're straight trippin' if you think Gayle wouldn't try to come on to Hugo before Linda's marriage with him. Maybe in her own messed up way she somehow knew Linda wouldn't be happy with Hugo and was doing her a favor in her mind. I don't know, I just really crave a Hugo and Gayle dynamic now because I know it would be chaos, doa, and I want to be present for that explosion. XD

Ok ok ok

So

I know I'm a huntlow blog at heart, but, Zeke and Tina from bobs burgers have begun to rot my brain to the point where I wrote a fic for them faster than I ever have for literally any other pairing.

I'm actually kinda proud of this too, it was so much fun to work on!

I love the parallels here! Like Teddy, I could also see Tina nearly self-sabotaging a perfectly good relationship with Zeke because she has been so used to being in unhealthy relationships, like with Jimmy Jr for example. She's not used to being in a healthy, stable relationship without fear of future drama that she would begin to overthink ways she could screw it up with Zeke.

Though, as long as Tina doesn't cower away from talking about her fears with Zeke, I believe Zeke is able to work it out with her. She learns that love, like cooking, doesn't need to have it always on full-blast heat. Sometimes you need to have it on low heat for it to be done right. Sure, it may be boring sometimes having to wait for it, but in the end, the results turn out more beautiful than they would have if you tried to always cook at a passionately high temperature. Zeke would definitely be full of surprises, but he won't always be the most romantic or artistic as Tina would hope for. However, what Zeke would provide is worth more than any romantic gesture, the security to be fully herself without the fear of abandonment. So she realizes she loves the slow-cook romance she has with Zeke over the highly intense heat she hoped for in her fantasies. Zeke won't always be as romantic as Tina would hope for but he will always be her port in a storm and she'll realize that is something she wants more than a passionate, drama-filled romance. Also, I can see Tina calling Zeke and saying, "Hi Zeke, it's Tina from dating." That was my highlight quote from that episode XD

I’ve come to a strange realization:

The love triangle situation between Teddy, Helen and Kathleen is weirdly similar to… Tina, Jimmy Jr and Zeke?!

Firstly, let’s look at Tina and Teddy. The two have more in common than you’d think!

-Both believe in things like fate and cosmic forces -Have a tendency to daydream, concocting wild and at times bizarre fantasies about those they fancy -Have personality traits that can be A Little Much for some people -Forget about personal boundaries when worked up -Are socially awkward and bad at reading the room -Cling to things they treasure -Wear blue -Have names that start with T See, look at that mountain of intersecting attributes!!

And now, the contenders.

Like Jimmy Jr, Helen is tall, blonde, conventionally attractive, and comfortable financially. She is nice to Teddy in varying degrees, sometimes sweet and playful, sometimes awful. The deciding factor in her niceness seems to be how useful Teddy can be to her in the moment, much like JJr only approaching Tina when it suits him especially well. Teddy is endlessly smitten with the beautiful but two-faced Helen, much as Tina is with JJR’s perfect bottom.

Kathleen on the other hand is a bit more on the average side with her stout figure and brown hair. Sound familiar? She also has an accent, is a bit sloppy, less than wealthy, knows her way around a joke, enjoys a bit of sports… Although she’s far more subdued, the similarities to Zeke are definitely there! And like Zeke, she’s also quite a nice person person overall - tentatively offering to share her food with the Belcher kids and showing concern for Teddy’s well being despite not knowing him very well.

Ever the romantic (like Teddy!!) Tina picks up on their chemistry right away, and insists that Teddy doesn’t need a rich beautiful princess, but just a nice lady that fits him right. Now if only she could apply that to herself…

But wait, there’s more!

Along with the mirrored triangles themselves, there are some other fun things to note regarding the general episodes in which developments are made.

For instance, Season 5 is when we first meet Helen. Season 5 also contains some interesting episodes for Tina and Zeke’s dynamic, such as Midday Run and The Oeder Games. Then in Season 9 we meet Kathleen, and get great episodes such as UFO No You Didn’t and Yes Without My Zeke. While it’s less substantial, I just find it interesting that the episodes containing key moments in Teddy’s love life were released alongside episodes involving Tina’s love life. Come Season 10 Helen is out of the picture, and Teddy is revealed to be seeing Kathleen more frequently in All That Gene. And now in Season 13, the relationship has progressed to steady dating, where Kathleen is asking Teddy out on long day trips. Pretty intimate! I wish them nothing but happiness.

Now, I don’t think Teddy’s switch from a hopeless crush on Helen to a happy, healthy relationship with Kathleen is intended to be a hint towards Tina’s future… but if the writers were hinting at something then I would have nothing but respect for them!!

Since we were denied aged-up designs of the Belcher kids in "What About Job". I decided to use my models & put them in the clothes they had in Bob's story. I didn't feel like doing Jimmy Jr. since he was the only one with reused attire

I tried to give Zeke a different hairstyle for his captain attire but I didn't want to part with it. I can't see adult Zeke in anything but a mohawk now. I'll still keep my fingers crossed for the day we get official aged-up designs for all the Belcher kids and friends though.

Zekina Won the Poll!!!

More Zekina Headcanons (Mostly Romantic, Some Are Just Headcanons for Them as Characters)

1. Zeke eats a lot of food with garlic in it to prepare himself for a vampire strike. (side note, the fact that vampires are one of the things Zeke dreads at night ((revealed in "Y Tu Ga-Ga Tambien")) is interesting when you think about "Vampire Disco Death Dance". That boy dreads vampires, but he's still the first to finally get himself and the others to finally watch the movie with Tina. That's just really sweet to do despite his fear. Though I suppose he would probably still watch vampire movies because of the thrill of being scared, he just doesn't want them to be real.)

2. Tina loves vampires but mourns that she probably could never have a vampire boyfriend if they were actually real because she doesn't want to give up garlic bread. So she'll just stick to zombies and other monster boyfriend options.

3. Zeke calls Tina, Sweet T every now and then along with his usual TBird and Tina Girl when they start dating.

4. Tina is not really good at pet names. The last time she did one she was teased for not knowing what a thunderbird was ( My first Zekina headcanon posts for context). So she usually leaves the pet names to Zeke. Though she can take pleasure in knowing she's one of the few people that Zeke is okay with saying his full first name, Ezekiel. Though, every now and then she will call me Kiel when she's feeling spicy (look up the definition of "keel" and you'll know why it's spicy especially if you know my headcanon of Zeke getting a captain's license XD)

5. Zeke reads poetry and classic literature every now and then when he's lonely at home. Tina is impressed by his interest in poetry and classic literature because it contrasts so much with his personality. His interest in poetry helped build his creativity so he later could write songs with Jimmy Jr or Gene.

6. Zeke graduates from air guitar to actual, acoustic guitar because I say so. LOL

7. Before dating (but after she's officially over Jimmy Junior), sometimes Zeke would purposefully try to start competitions with Tina because he loves butting heads with her when she gets very competitive and trash-talky in a game setting.

If he's not ready to get serious with Tina then he might as well have some fun and goad her into a competition of who can create the best puns, that being one example at least.

Tina doesn't realize this is another one of Zeke's ways of flirting with her until much, much later. She just assumes he's being an annoying butthead that wants to get a rise out of her. (I just want more of their competitiveness from "Friends with Burger-Fits", it's so cute and funny!)

8. It takes a while for Tina and Zeke to go anywhere with their relationship because both are so comfortable being friends. Zeke isn't subtle about wanting to date her but never seems like he takes it seriously as a defense mechanism, so Tina always assumes he's joking. Tina takes a while to be ready to admit to herself she's attracted to Zeke because he looks nothing like what she usually goes for in a guy aside from growing taller in his later years and his accent.

9. Tina is the first to confess she like likes Zeke but Zeke is the one who asks her out. (Technically Zeke was the first one to confess he like liked Tina, but he never really made a serious move so Tina is the true confession that helped Zeke get serious and make his move seriously)

10.  Zeke gave Tina wildflowers (a step up from just weeds XD) on their first date to make up for the fact he couldn't afford a store-bought bouquet on top of all the other stuff he planned to do with her. He continues to give her wildflowers every now and then until their first-year anniversary. For their anniversary he surprises her with a bouquet of white gardenias, red roses, and lavenders. (Gardenia because it's Tina's favorite flower, lavender because it's the smell of the candle Zeke was holding in "Tina and the Real Ghost", and the red rose because that's what Tina received from Jimmy Jr. in "The Gene & Courtney Show". Just Zeke casually making up for never giving Tina a carnation in that episode XD)

11. Once Zeke made a love song for Tina about bumper cars just so he could say the phrase "bumper to bumper" after finding out Tina liked it when the traffic updates said it. Tina was really into the song. He couldn't do a song specifically about the traffic updates because it was too boring for him. lol

12. Tina tries to be as supportive of Zeke as he is of her and become his hype woman. She's not great at it, but she's trying her best and Zeke will always appreciate her for that.

13. Tina often fears she isn't giving enough in the relationship because Zeke gives so much by comparison. Part of it is to make up for the years of never giving him a chance as well as being hostile to him at the beginning. Zeke tells her she doesn't need to run herself ragged to prove to herself the relationship is equal. She's already enough on her own for him. He doesn't hold it against her for how she acted when she was 13 and neither should she for herself. Heck, they probably wouldn't even have a relationship if she still held onto all the gross or naughty stuff he did at 13. She'll never understand how he can be so darn understanding.

14. When they watch scary movies, Zeke holds onto Tina acting like he's comforting her when in reality he's just hiding he's the one that needs to be held and just holds onto Tina to remedy it. Tina is very much aware of this and simply lets Zeke be the tough guy protecting his girl for his sake. It's not like Tina is completely unaffected by scary films anyway, so she does appreciate the embrace. She tries to remember to return the favor and embrace him back when he embraces her. However. sometimes she enjoys the embrace and immerses in the moment too much that she forgets accidentally.

15. Zeke is the first to say I love you to Tina. (I have no idea how it's going to happen. It's either going to be super casual by accident or the most obnoxious thing in the world on purpose. I will settle for no inbetweens! XD)

16. Zeke proposes to Tina on Halloween with his late grandma's wedding ring. He originally wanted to reenact what Tina did in "Tina and the Real Ghost" (because that was the day he realized he had a crush on her in my headcanon) and surprise her. Things get out of hand when Louise decides Zeke needs help to make the proposal more memorable and add some more zombie spice. Louise gets Calvin and his carnies involved to make it seem like Mr. Fishoeder started a zombie apocalypse for free labor and now is going to pull a Frankenstein on Tina and Zeke by killing them and using both their parts for a new body. That way his brain can live on in a new, immortal, stitched-up body that could always be in control of his zombie carnies.

Zeke was able to catch on none of it was real once Mr. Fishoeder said the words that copied what Zeke wrote in ketchup in the mausoleum,

Tonight you will depart from this mortal state.

To be reborn as one, this is your fate.

Tina was a mix of trying to rationalize everything because she knew zombies weren't real and also thinking this was something she wouldn't put past Mr. Fishoeder doing. While Zeke was going to have a few words with Louise later, he just went along with it and kept his fingers crossed that Tina would be into it. He intended to shock her a bit before proposing to her, not full-out scare her into thinking a real zombie apocalypse was happening.

When he finally asked her to marry him, the zombie carnies stopped moving toward them, music started playing (you pick what song it is. I assume it's from Gene because I think the Belcher family is hiding in the background of the cemetery somewhere lol), and the zombie carnies dance. They also moan to the instrumental of the song as if they were trying to sing it.

Tina says yes but also has so many questions about all that just happened. Zeke credits everything aside from the ketchup writing in the mausoleum to Louise. He told her not to do it because he didn't want Tina mad at him for making her think her life was in danger just for a proposal. Zeke assumes that Louise took it as a "wink-wink-nudge-nudge" no and did it anyway, thinking he meant he just didn't want to be blamed for it.

Calvin also confirms that even if he wanted to go to Frankenstein on someone he would of went after way sexier people for his new body and the couple was so not on his sexy list. Calvin and the carnies, now acting normal leave the pair alone in the cemetery so they can go home.

Zeke tries to apologize to Tina for the chaos but is cut off by the intense passion of her lips.  After the deep kiss, Tina tells him it was the best Halloween, zombie-themed proposal ever and she couldn't imagine a better way to be proposed to. Zeke got over his anger with Louise pretty quickly after that.

The Belcher family hops from their hiding spots and runs to go hug and congratulate the couple on their engagement.

(On that Halloween, Zeke went as Frankenstein's Mobster and Tina went as Frankenstein's Mobster's Lich or Frankenstein's Lich for shortening's sake. Just don't make an acronym of the longer version XD. The idea is that Frankenstein's monster found a lich, got together, and they formed a zombie mafia where they're both the bosses)

Anyway, that's it for my Zekina headcanons for now. I have no doubt I will probably make more in the future. Especially if I get some good character interaction between Tina and Zeke in "So You Stink You Can Dance" on the 23rd. I really hope they work together to support Jimmy Jr. in that episode!

Zekina is winning so far but let’s keep that going please! X3

My Updated Belcher Kids, Zeke, and Jimmy Jr. Job Headcanons

After "What About Job" I became inspired to update the job headcanons. I know Bob is one of the most unreliable narrators in the show, but it's still the closest thing to canon I'm going to get for now so I'm going to tweak my headcanon a bit to slightly fit what Bob hypothetically thinks might happen. Tina: She went to get a degree in literature at community college. I still think she'll be an author of trashy romance novels, but now I like to think she'll also own a small, (sometimes) peaceful farm by the beach. It just has plants to start out with but it will have horses eventually too (sorry Tina, no going big XD). Bob comes by to help Tina with her plants every now and then. They both enjoy the bonding experience. I also didn't say who she married in the original job headcanon post because I thought it would be better if I left it up to interpretation. Screw ambiguity though, Tina is married to Zeke. He helps out when he can and he got some of his family to work at Tina's farm as well. Part of the plants she grows is for Bob's Burgers while the rest is for selling at the farmers' market. Gene: I'm going with he will become a traveling musician, but I still say he got his start by doing miscellaneous things on Bob's Burgers equivalent to YouTube like in the original post. He travels with Courtney and Alex I'm leaving their relationship up to interpretation because I'm fine either way I just think they are cute all together.

Louise: Has trouble finding herself at 18 but eventually decides to go to community college for chemistry. She started out just wanting to do a field that would help her make explosives. However, she later realized that cooking was just chemistry and she started specifically learning food chemistry. She knew in her heart she wanted to keep her family's business alive and used the knowledge she learned to help experiment on alternative burgers and other food they could sell. She's platonic friends and roommates with Rudy. Rudy works at Bob's Burgers as well, he provides the smoothies and suggestions for allergy-free options for the place. Zeke: He didn't have the means to afford college so he decided to join the navy for action, adventure, and money. They rejected him due to his ADHD though. To make matters worse his dad kicked him out at 18. So he offers to work at Bob's Burgers for a place to sleep as payment until he figures out what to do with himself. Zeke becomes part of the family really fast and Bob is happy to have him as his pupil in the upstairs kitchen. Zeke was still sad that he wouldn't be able to see the world like he hoped if he joined the navy. While he still couldn't join the navy, Teddy did offer to help Zeke at least get a captain's license through his connections. Zeke accepted the offer because it sounded cool to be an official captain if he ever actually had a chance at owning a boat. So during that time he balanced getting his captain's license, working at the restaurant, and earning whatever he could so he could go to culinary school. After he earned his captain's license, he is approached by Mr. Fishoeder (who was probably one of Teddy's connections in the first place) and he offers him a job to captain his booze cruise (which is also totally not used for smuggling anything illegal under the captain's nose, no sir!) at the sexy, adult, night hours on the Wonder Wharf. Not what Zeke had in mind when he got his license but he loved to party and thought it could be fun mixing drinks. Thinking of the chaotic memories that could be made sounded appealing as well. Zeke still works at Bob's Burgers when Louise takes over the restaurant. Louise, Rudy, and Zeke all workshop burgers and food ideas but Zeke is the final decision on if the food is worthy to be sold or not (Louise can never be trusted after the bubblegum burger incident even after studying food chemistry XD) So in the day, he works at Bob's Burgers and Tina's farm while at night he is the party animal captain of the Wonder Wharf booze cruise. Jimmy Jr.: Nothing has changed for him. I still say he's a dance teacher. I don't really have anybody I ship him specifically because none really stand out much. Douglas obviously has a thing for Josh so that's out, I don't want Becky Krespe to give JJ another chance, and while I think the concept of JocelynxJimmy Jr is hilarious, I don't think they would work out. So I'm flexible with whatever as long as it's legal.

Anyway, that's all. This all started because I couldn't brush off what Bob thought Zeke would end up doing. I figured I might as well update all of them after that. Yeah, I know the writers needed at least one person with a boat for the "Children of Men" parody but it's still funny out of all the characters he could have chosen, he picked Zeke.

✨How it started Vs How it’s going✨🐴🍔

“Holy du-what in the huh??” One of my favorites scenes ever just cuz of Zeke’s reaction 😂 and I imagine he’d have the same reaction again

(What About Job Spoilers) Okay, Evil Jimmy Jr. Is Looking Way Too Much Like His Dad to Be a Coincidence!

Tina claimed that she made Jimmy Jr. the villain because she was mad at him for not sharing his gum with her. However, as the old saying goes, it's never about the gum. Tina take your own story as the cautionary tale that it is and run before cycles repeat girl! Jimmy Jr. stop the cycle from repeating in the first place! (Yeah, I know it's not exact but I couldn't just leave it alone because it was so close. Also, the right one was the best one I found on the Bob's Burgers wiki and I didn't want to look any further for the jerk that is Jimmy Sr.) The title is an exaggeration and it is probably a coincidence, but if it isn't giving evil Jimmy Jr. similar hair to his dad is a big brain move.

I don't know if the fact that Bob thinks Zeke is going to captain a loud, overpriced booze cruise ship at the Wonder Wharf when he is older is funny, sad, or both?! LOL

You know Tina, Zeke technically shared his gum with you. Just saying! XD Another negative point for Jimmy Jr.! Hopefully, you act better in "So You Stink You Can Dance" or "Comet-y of Errors" if you're in that episode.

@tacosandtouchtanks Okay, I just wanted to update you that I made a decision a day or two ago but haven't said anything till now. Here's the thing, I decided for my touch tank idea I would do the creatures that could actually appear in a touch tank. This is the best option so Tina can project onto the touch tank creatures in her moment of crisis. So sadly, shrimp is not an option anymore for the touch tank idea. In better news, I now have my cast. Zeke: Sea cucumber (obviously that's not going to change) Tina: Sea urchin (kina specifically) Jimmy Jr.: Starfish (Not required to read this part, I'm just explaining the reasons for my choice through the power of synopsis XD)

While perhaps when Tina was 13 she probably dreamt of herself as a starfish. As she gets older though her anxiety gets to her and now through her narrow perspective, she sees herself as a sea urchin. So say after her break up with Jimmy Jr. She leaves her childhood home to find herself. Along the way, she has given up on finding her soulmate and only goes on casual dates. There's still that idealism inside her but she keeps it hidden through her spines of denial and suppression of her feelings. So while she's not expecting to find her soul mate on the first date, she would still hope to at least find a guy that's worth more than 1 date. She goes to the touch tank to try to relax and reflect on all that led up to now. She starts to hate her own reflection because she hates how she fears intimacy now when that's all she ever wanted. She believes that all her attempts at relationships just ended up hurting someone one way or another. She believes all she ever does is make things worse and that even though she wants intimacy, she'll never be able to truly be accepted by someone. Even now, as she's back in her childhood home, Zeke has been determined to try to start a relationship with her. While she feels an emotional connection with him after years of friendship, even then she keeps him at a distance because she's comfortable with the relationship they have already. Deep down, she also doesn't want to admit the superficial reason why she hasn't given Zeke a chance. She simply wasn't attracted to him physically. She doesn't want what happened with Henry Haber and her to happen to him, Zeke doesn't deserve that. She's scared that emotional connection won't be strong enough to overcome her stupid type preference. After all, her own mother left her fiance for her dad simply because he had a sexy mustache. Who's to say that she wouldn't do the same to Zeke? Just the thought of that kills her. So to her, it's better for her to keep it as just friendship with Zeke even if maybe she might even want to give him a chance. She's just too superficial and it's better if he just realizes she's not worth it and moves to someone who deserves him more than she ever did. She drifts off into an aquatic-themed daydream as she immerses her hands in the water again. As a sea urchin, she tried so many ways to find love in the beautiful starfishes of the world. Unfortunately, even though both creatures have regeneration abilities, none of the starfishes wanted anything to do with her because of how unapproachable she looked and how awkward she acted. In turn, Sea Urchina (I'm just going to use this for sea urchin Tina and do puns for the rest) tries her hardest by consuming as many algae as she can to clean the ocean. Sadly, she would overdo it in the end and the algae she consumed killed a kelp forest. This made her relations with the entire ocean worse when all she wanted to do was help and show she was more than her appearance. So she closes herself off from others, thinking no one would miss her anyway. No one was willing to get close to her because of the spines and how the spines would affect them. She tried so hard to make it work with Starry Jr, but even she eventually grew tired of the two constantly regenerating from each other's attempts at a relationship. She had her sea urchin family to turn to at least. She had adjusted to their spines so she could handle their jabs because she knew it all came from love. Even so, she still longed to be accepted as she was from at least one outside her family. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life thinking all she did was make everything worse for the other fish.

Then along came Zeke U. Cumber. Despite her insecurities telling her, she's better off keeping her distance from other fish so no one gets hurt. Zeke U. Cumber reminds Sea Urchina that while she did destroy the kelp forest, things weren't as bad as they seemed. The aftermath of the kelp forest made it a great space for urchins, sea cucumbers, and even starfish, though none of the starfish will admit it. So even if didn't work out the way Sea Urchina planned, the ocean will still be a better place because she's in it. Sea Urchina will never be able to tell how Zeke U. Cumber is able to make the best out of the worst of situations. He was always making the world a better place, he even let shrimp ride him as well as crabs,  polychaete worms, and pearlfish live in his anus just so they can be safe. Zeke U. Cumber had nothing to gain from being so helpful but he did it anyway, he even helped her see that she's not the bane of the ocean's existence. Originally, she dreamed of being seen as someone as wonderful as a starfish despite being a sea urchin. She thought she could never bring anything other than pain to those she wanted to be close to, so she stopped trying. Then along came an optimistic sea cucumber to show her that she's already wonderful on her own and even if the whole ocean doesn't see it that way, she still did her part in helping and making a difference. Tina comes back from her daydream and realizes how much of a fool she's been. For years Zeke has been supporting all his friends, including her for years with nothing in return. He was always there to support his friends but who was there to support him? Even in her own daydream, she used Zeke as a way to pick herself up but never did it for him. She thinks of Zeke's warm smile, how he always makes the best of a situation even if it's crappy. She thinks of how Zeke at times has the energy of a hyper bulldog and how adorable it can be at times. She always had a thing for accents, it wasn't a foreign one but it was still an accent. She has her suspicions that Zeke has been working on his glutes, so maybe... Wait, holy crap! Was she actually attracted to Zeke? Maybe this could actually work and she was overthinking it? She's not 13 anymore so perhaps she can overcome her type preference and find the unique ways that make Zeke attractive after all. I mean she had an emotional connection with Zeke, something that she didn't have with Henry Haber. So maybe it was because of her emotional attraction to Zeke she was able to overcome what she usually liked in a guy. It was more than that though, she was done being selfish. Zeke has never given up on her even when she gave him every reason to do so. She wants to be the one to give back to him. She wants to support him after years of him supporting everyone. She wants to be there to comfort him when the mask came off and he's vulnerable. Even if the thought of messing things up and hurting him scares her. She believes without a doubt that they can overcome it because Zeke is stubborn as a mule and she's never getting rid of him. She runs back to the restaurant to find Zeke and starts giving back. It wasn't going to be easy for her to overcome her lingering anxiety. She knows in the end it will be worth it once she finally lets go and let Zeke into her inner world. It was time for this sea urchin to stop being spineless.

Zekina Touch Tank Idea I Could Use Help On:

Okay, it's so super clear to me that the sea cucumber is the perfect sea creature to represent Zeke. There's just so much about the sea cucumber that relates to Zeke in hilarious ways. The most important one is that the sea cucumber is that it's a creature that is always helping others but rarely gets anything back. The majority of their relationships are more commensal than symbiotic, they aren't being harmed but they aren't gaining anything either. You can also do the pun Zeke u cumber. It's not the best pun but it's something. XD

My problem is that I don't know which sea creature could represent Tina. I have some candidates but I would really like some input as well because I'm not sure which is the best to choose? Here's the list I have so far. 1. Tuna (for the pun for Tina and an opportunity for Zeke to say "you tuna me on". A redemption for his canned Tina joke and general attitude in "Presto Tina-O" lol) 2. Kina (a New Zealand sea urchin and another Tina pun opportunity and an "I'm kina you" joke ((like I'm keen on you if that wasn't obvious already)), Sea urchins do eat sea cucumbers, but they also are part of the same family as sea cucumbers and starfish so make of that what you will) 3. Hermit Crab (least favorite option. While Saucy the hermit carb is important to Zekina lore, hermit crabs eat sea cucumbers so not a good choice) 4. Shrimp (Nothing pun-worthy, but shrimp does technically have the most symbiotic relationship to sea cucumbers, the shrimp still benefits more though. There's also something poetic you can do with shrimp seeing more colors than other creatures) 5. Sea Cucumber (I mean, I guess Tina probably could see herself as a sea cucumber as well, but this is my second least favorite option because it's boring) So I would appreciate any feedback on which one you like best for Tina. I really want a sea creature that fits Tina for her and Zeke's dynamic. My favorite is between the shrimp and the kina. Let the aquatic themes prevail for these two! XD

TINA: He asked me out for Saturday night.

JIMMY JR.: Oh, ya' going?

[long pause]

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)
