Curate, connect, and discover
[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.”

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.
