17. detailed research about the perfect gift + also Zekina please because I'm greedy when it comes to this ship! LOL XD

zekina + detailed research about the perfect gift 🎄

“Hey, Mrs. B?” Zeke asks, swinging off his backpack and letting it drop it to the floor. “Can I ask ya something?”

Linda smiles, still scrubbing the restaurant counter with an old dishrag.

“Aww! Of course, sweetie! Is this about my teeny Tina?”

Her smile falls briefly, eyes nearly bulging out of her head.

“Wait, this isn’t proposal talk is it? You know I love you two together, but seventeen is just too young! I always thought you’d propose after college. On a boat, maybe, or—ooh! On horseback? That would be nice!”

Zeke chuckles. Though a proposal isn’t on his agenda just yet, it’s nice to know that he’ll have Linda’s blessing when that time comes. He thinks about marriage a lot, actually. More than most teenage boyfriends do. When he has a bad day, he envisions the way Tina will smile when he finally pops the question. Sometimes, when he kisses her, he’s secretly imagining that they’re at the alter.

“Nah, it’s nothing that serious.” He assures his girlfriend’s mom. “Not yet, anyway. I’m actually in the market for…well. Do you think Tina’d like a promise ring?”

Zeke’s eyes fall to the counter, as he finishes his sentence. He doesn’t want to see Linda’s face if it turns sour. Luckily, excitement in her voice prompts him to raise his head again.

“A promise ring?” She asks, one hand flying over her heart. “How romantic! What a little gentleman you are.”

Zeke feels a brief flash of heat in his face. Something about earning approval from adults always makes him bashful, and knowing that Linda likes him feels like a gigantic win.

“Oh, I dunno about that. Just…with Christmas comin’ up and all. I thought you might like to see the one I picked out, if that’s alright with you.”

Restaurant chores forgotten, Linda props her chin in her hands as she leans forward.

“It’s more than alright!” She says. “Let’s see what you’ve got, hon.”

Zeke’s a little nervous, as he pulls up his camera roll. He’s put a lot of thought into Tina’s Christmas gift, but it’s not like he has the kind of money to get her a really nice ring. Even all the saving he’s been doing has left him with a slightly underwhelming ring selection.

“Here’s the one I found.” Zeke says, zooming in on the picture to give Linda a better look. “I thought the blue might make her eyes pop.”

He has to actively refrain from gushing. Something about the color blue makes Tina’s dark eyes shine, and that girl’s eyes are enough to make a man go weak in the knees. He’s probably biased, though. To him, everything about Tina is uniquely beautiful.

“Wow!” Linda says, examining the small blue stone in the center of the ring. “What a beaut! You picked that out yourself, huh?”

Zeke’s eyebrows knit together, a little confused by the question. Did I pick it out myself? He’s been pouring over ring catalogues for weeks, searching for the perfect fit for his girlfriend. He’s already consulted with Gene, a self proclaimed expert on bling, and he’s learned more about ring sizes in the last month than he ever planned on learning in a lifetime.

“Course I did!” He says, taken aback. “I knew I wanted this to be perfect. Tina’s…well hell, you raised her! You know how special she is.”

Any shyness from before is gone, as Linda looks between he and the ring. He thinks the world of her daughter, and that’s not something that embarrasses him. It feels natural. He watches as a small, touched smile appears on Linda’s face.

“Tina’s gonna love it, sweetie.” She says softly. “She’ll think it’s absolutely perfect.”

Pulling the phone back with a grin on his face, Zeke admires the photo for himself. There’s still two weeks left until Christmas, and he’s going to spend each of those days daydreaming about seeing his ring on Tina’s finger.

“Thanks, Mrs. B.” He says, his girl’s pretty smile on his mind. “I sure hope you’re right.”

Guess whose birthday it is!!!!!!!!! Happy birthday, my darling @theangrypomeranian !!!!!!! I made this (really) rough, short but sweet animation of the night he sang their song...

Sally, I've not known you for very long but i can just see from your writings and the times we've talked that you're an incredible, talented, sweet person. I know this isn't much, but I really wanted to do something special for you, since you yourself are a special person. I'm glad to have you in my life and be friends with you 💜🫂 never stop doing what you love, my dear.

Another Delusional Zekina Thought

I love that the first episode ("Bob Actually") Flips White Fudge appears in is the episode Bob tries to learn to dance to give Linda a good Valentine's day gift. In the second episode ("So You Stink You Can Dance") he appears in is him basically giving commentary on Jimmy Jr's experience with Tina and Zeke.

Flips White Fudge assumed that he bonded with Zeke and Tina so much that he tried to insert himself into Tina and Zeke's hypothetical brunch (which Flips, buddy I know you mean well but you're an under 30-year-old guy trying to hang out with 2 teenagers. It raises some red flags my dude. Though part of me wishes the brunch really happened because that would have been the closest thing Zeke and Tina would have had to a date in canon. That's just me grasping though. XD).

Anyway, my point of this post is my headcanon is that history will repeat itself and in the distant future, Zeke will take some dancing lessons from Flips White Fudge like Bob did. XD

My Belcher Siblings Fankid Headcanons

In light of the latest episode of Bob's Burgers. I decided to share my headcanons for my fan children of the Belcher siblings. It's a work in progress, so keep that in mind.

Louise:

I personally don't see her having children of her own. Especially since the only time she said she would have children was to feed them to an albino polar bear. However, I do see as she grows, matures, and takes over her dad's restaurant, I see her becoming a foster parent. She will be inspired by the fact that Bob lost his mother 11 to 13 (his mom passed away 33 years ago and Bob is 44 to 46) and she wants to help troubled kids have a stable home life like she had as long as she's able to. I, unfortunately, don't have any foster children ocs in mind yet. Hopefully, I'll figure it out eventually. I do see Rudy being a foster parent with Louise though whether as platonic friend and roommate or officially married. Gene:

I also don't see them ever having kids either. They rather be the fun aunty uncle (this is the best I got for a gender-neutral term for aunt/uncle, feel free to make suggestions for something better. At the very least Gene might like it because it's funny) or a kid game show host than ever be responsible for their own children. (Also I'm going with the common headcanon that Gene is genderfluid. I don't see them being strict with pronouns but I'm still going by they/them just in case)

Tina:

She would be the only one of the siblings to have biological children. She would be married to Zeke and both would be for having children. Zeke would be all for having a big family, his only caveat would be to not wait too long for siblings because he wouldn't want his kids to go through the same lonely sibling age gap problem he went through (him having a half brother that's 31 years older than him and a stepbrother that 13 years younger than him. The only relative he has that's close to his age would be his cousin Leslie and even then he's at the lowest, 3 years older than him). Tina, however, would originally not want to go too fast in adding siblings because she knows how much of a handful it is from seeing her parents having a child every 2 years 3 times, counting herself.

Life had different plans though and she wouldn't change a thing about it.

Daniel “Dani” Bob Belcher:

He’s this little guy

First born son of Zeke and Tina. He has his dad’s extroversion and optimistic attitude. Meanwhile, He inherited his mom’s creativity and bad vision. As a teenager, he is cursed with being nuts for butts and a goob for boob. Though he’s demiromantic, so while he definitely finds many people attractive, he doesn’t pursue any of them romantically until he realizes he has formed a deep connection of friendship with them. He is extra with his love confessions though and has no shame which can lead to the downfall of many potential romantic relationships because he loves giving his all too fast and too hard. Sometimes his confessions could end friendships he thought he had a deep connection with too because they simply didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. Daniel doesn’t fret about it because he follows the “if you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve at my best” motto. He will always have his family and his true friends will always stick by him and that’s good enough for him.

He’s terrible at wrestling but that doesn’t stop him from trying to surprise pounce on his dad. He’s better at writing songs and coming up with crazy, fun ideas to try. He doesn’t intentionally try to do stuff that will get him in trouble, but his creativity just makes him a trouble magnet. He’s not the brightest but his heart is always in the right place.

His main colors are yellow and green.

( His personality type for reference - ENFP 7w6)

Jeffrey “Jeff” Griffin Belcher (Is he named after Tina’s ex-ghost box boyfriend or her body pillow? I’ll never tell! XD)

Second born son by around a 1 year and a half (though it’s rounded out to 2 anyway since he wasn’t born in the same year as his older brother). He has his mother’s monotone introversion as well as creativity and his dad’s love of chaos. He’s not the most sociable and much rather spend his time alone playing video games, making blueprints, and testing out his blueprints. He loves his family though and is a momma’s boy even if he would rather die than admit it. When he’s not doing his own thing, he’s helping his brother behind the scenes with any crazy idea Daniel comes up with. He doesn’t care if it’s a good idea or a bad idea, he’s just along for the ride and eager to see how it ends. He’s completely ace and aro, so he’s not interested in dating like Daniel when he is a teenager, period.

While he has plenty of ideas to cause chaos at the school, he’s also very lazy so he mostly goes along with Daniel and is never the leader of any scheme by choice.

He’s not a super genius but he is the brightest of his siblings, he just lacks motivation. When he’s old enough, he wears contacts because he hates how he looks in his glasses. He doesn’t like the idea of completely fitting into the stereotypical nerd mold especially since his personality already fits the mold.

His main colors are grayish-blue and brown.

( His personality type for reference - INTP 5w4)

Lily Cherylinda Belcher (Yes Tina and Zeke pulled a Renesmee for Lily’s middle name. Just be glad it’s just the middle name XD)

Last born child, firstborn daughter of Tina and Zeke. She’s 4 years younger than Jeff and 6 years younger than Daniel (Tina and Zeke were originally going to stop at 2 but life happened and they decided to see what fate had in store). She has the protective nature of both her parents, Tina’s goody-two-shoes nature, and Zeke’s knack for cooking (not his perfect palette though, that belongs to Jeff much to her disbelief since she knows what he wastes his tastebuds on)  Despite being the youngest, she is the most responsible out of her siblings and most of the time tags along simply to protect her brothers and try to stop things from getting too terrible.

She also tries to use her cuteness to try to help them get a lighter sentence after the metaphorical (sometimes literal) smoke clears. She loves reading about/watching romance but seldom partakes in it herself when she’s of age. She’s too timid and uses schoolwork and helping out her family as an excuse for why she’s too busy for crushes.

She’s unapologetically a daddy’s girl and is eager to help in the kitchen when she can. Since she doesn’t have a perfect palette, she treats recipes like religious texts and doesn’t dare try to add anything outside the recipe. Aside from cooking, she loves gardening as well, especially planting pretty flowers.

Out of all the siblings, she is the best candidate to take over Bob’s Burgers after Louise. However, if Lily decides to take over in the future is still up in the air.

Her main colors are pink and purple. She wears an adorable panda hat that her grandma Linda made for her, similar to Louise’s bunny ears. (Something like this https://akiseohats.com/products/spring-panda-bear-fleece-hat (( the pink and white one, though I might do light pink on darker pink instead)))

( Her personality type for reference - ISFJ 9w8)

Anyway, that’s all that I have so far. I definitely left some questions unanswered though. For example, I never said who loved horses and zombies among the siblings. XD

Maybe I’ll elaborate when I actually design them, for now, though this is all I got.

32. kiss prompt + Zekina please.

zeke/tina + a kiss by candlelight!

“I can’t believe my dad agreed to this.” Tina says, ducking her head with a sheepish smile. 

“It took some convincin’, girl! I won’t lie.” 

Zeke’s cheeky grin is charming enough that she doesn’t pry for details. Later, definitely, but not in the middle of their special night. 

“Well, he likes you.” She says, still smiling. “He likes the way you treat me. How you’d do anything to make me happy.” 

As Tina looks around her family’s restaurant again, still in awe of the surprise Zeke arranged, she has to agree with her dad’s assessment.

“I try my best, T. You know I’m crazy ‘bout ya!” 

Tina might think her smile reveals her giddiness, but it’s little more than a slightly turned up line. Zeke reads it anyhow, seeing the excitement underneath. 

“I know you are.” She nods, reaching a hand out to take one of his. “So am I.”

Having a boyfriend who’s close to her family is nice—very nice—but it still makes her squirm with the tiniest bit of embarrassment sometimes. Her entire family now knows that a boy likes her enough to cook her dinner, and that’ll be enough to make her mom ask nosy questions for weeks to come. 

Still, it’s comforting to see the people she cares about most getting along with each other. Her dad let Zeke use his kitchen. That’s no small gesture. Behind her back, Tina’s entire family collaborated to make this night perfect. 

Her mom had started it, sending her upstairs on a faulty errand, then Louise tricked her into heading back downstairs after closing. When she finally returned to the restaurant, Tina discovered Zeke waiting for her. He’d cooked them both a plate of her favorite pasta dish, complete with a homemade Alfredo sauce. 

Though it’s nothing too fancy, it doesn’t take much to enchant a hopeless romantic. Tina loves every moment. He brought her a bouquet of lilies-her favorite flower-and there’s a single candle lighting every booth.  It almost feels like a daydream. 

“I’d do this for ya every night if I could, Tina.” Zeke says, pressing a kiss to her wrist. “You make me wanna go all out all the time.” 

Tina likes that she doesn’t question his sincerity. Even setting candlelit dinners aside, Zeke’s been nothing but a gentleman since they started dating. It’s in the small things, really. He jumps to offer his jackets, when she makes the slightest suggestion that she might be cold. He seems to take joy in caring for her. 

“I’m gonna do something nice for you soon.” She tells him earnestly. “Something sweet and unexpected. I promise.” 

Zeke tilts his head, causing Tina to mirror the motion, before giving her hand a squeeze. His strong grip sends a jolt through her body. 

“Don’t be silly, girl! Look around.”

Tina does. He kisses her once, softly, the two of them surrounded by the glow of his candles.

“I’ve got everything I could possibly want.” 

This is super indulgent territory for my Zekina art. Yes, it's more indulgent than the wedding pic for some reason. XD I made this purely for the flowers. I had these flowers made since the wedding picture but decided to scrap it because what I ended up doing was cuter than Tina holding flowers.

I worked hard on the flowers and didn't want them to go to waste, so I reused them for this

I also wanted to put Tina in a cute dress that would contrast Zeke's suit. This is why I originally did the poll post. The post ended up being for nothing though because I ended up using a combination of Peggy Sis's and Chariot's colors from the Equestranauts, sorry. Cowards are the people who don't draw Zeke with his underbite!/j I like to think Zeke said "surprise" the way he did in the mad pooper episode because I think it's funny and cute. Hope you Zekina shippers like what I brought to the table. I'm just glad the flowers didn't go to waste.

Wanted to Make a Dress for Tina That Complements Zeke’s Outfit From “Mazel Tina”. I Need a Votes on Which Palette Is More Appealing. Does anybody Want to Help Please?

Also, if anybody wants to suggest links for dresses for inspiration would also be appreciated, though not expected. All I ask for is votes on which you think looks like a better contrast for Zeke's colors. Thank you to anybody who takes the time to read this.

Which Palette Do You Like Better for Tina Belcher’... - Online Poll - StrawPoll.com

Zeke and Tina dating headcanons

- Zeke takes literally every opportunity to pick Tina up and spin her around. This is his absolute favorite pass time.

- Tina writes long, extremely detailed diary entries about all of their dates.

- Tina makes Gene and Louise come with her to Zeke’s wrestling matches, and Louise is disappointed that it isn’t as violent as she expected.

- Zeke loooves nicknames and calls Tina every corny nickname in the book. Her favorites are ‘sunshine’ and ‘pretty girl”

- They go on date nights to all of Jimmy Jr’s dance performances. Supportive besties!

He was just like a puppy.

Finally!! The scene is here!!!! And they're in love!!!! And I'm basically just trying not to have a breakdown over how cute they are all day every day!!!!!

This scene is from Baby Steps, written by the absolutely incredible @theangrypomeranian !!! Please, go check this fic out, it has me feeling. I just. Ahhhhh

Also I've not done lineless art since my old MHA fanart so this was a weird throwback 🙈🙈

"He's gone."

Guys if y'all don't go read my buddy @theangrypomeranian 's fanfic Baby Steps, I'll come find you and read it aloud to you. It's soft and makes me feel safe. Hhhhhh

The scene that started it all. Baby Steps by @theangrypomeranian is incredible and y'all should really read it before I come to your house and personally read it aloud for you.

You can probably see I tweaked Mr. Zeke's design some. I actually like both of my designs a lot, but this one is more accurate the fic. I'm super happy with how these pieces came out~

23. (Things you said during the wedding) + Zekina please (it doesn't have to be their wedding if you don't want to)

zekina + things you said during the wedding!

“Tina girl?” 

Tina’s shoulders relax at the sound of her boyf-husband’s voice. When she whips around to face him, he grins. After four years together, Zeke still smiles the same goofy smile whenever he looks at her.  

“Zeke, hi!” 

She flies into his arms, suddenly aware of how badly she needs a hug from him. He returns her embrace automatically, no questions asked, his hands coming to sit on her waist. 

“Hey there, beautiful. Who’s the lucky guy who gets to marry you today?” 

Though Tina rolls her eyes, Zeke’s corny flirtations are always a comfort. It’s good to know they won’t stop now that they’re married. 

“You are.” She deadpans. “You already did, actually.” 

He rubs a circle on her lower back, like he knows she’s a little overwhelmed without her having to voice it herself. As much as Tina has dreamed about her special day, she isn’t used to being the center of attention. It’s surprisingly stressful. 

“I remember.” Zeke says. “I saw you sneakin’ off in the middle of the reception, and I was afraid I might have a runaway bride situation on my hands. Everything alright?”

Tina nods emphatically. In spite of all the chaos, her wedding day has exceeded her wildest expectations. It’s different—more imperfections and fewer zombies—but she loves it all the same. 

“Everything’s great. I just…” 

Zeke kisses her temple. 

“It’s a lotta eyes on you, ain’t it?” He says sagely. “I getcha. Well, why don’t we just take a little break from the party? When you feel better, then we’ll go get our dance on!” 

Tina sighs. Apparently, she’s been unknowingly waiting on permission to shirk her duties as the bride. After all, there's only so much chit-chat a girl can make with distant relatives, before she exhausts herself. 

All she needs are a few moments to recharge, and then she’ll be Wedding Day Tina again. The best, most radiant version of herself. When she kisses her new husband, she feels more in love than ever before. 

“That’s a great idea, Zeke.” She says. “Is it too soon to renew our vows?” 

"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.

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!

[s9e9] i can’t believe he wanted another alien invasion just so tina would kiss him again

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

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

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!!

Zekina Won the Poll!!!

@tacosandtouchtanks

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.
