I Love This Series And Silver Finally Get Some Love, Maybe. Silver Is A Little Whiny Dork But I Love

( I Get Psy-chic Out of You. Season 4, Episode 16)

Louise: On a happier note, which name do you like more: Sea Bagel, Pride of Detroit, Mudbutt or Gelding the Lily? Linda: (groaning) Lily. Go with the Lily one. What is this for? Louise: Oh. We're renaming Tina. Linda: Oh! I'm glad I didn't choose Mudbutt. (Show Mama from the Grave. Season 13, Episode 9) We just found out Bob's mom's name was Lily! Mr. Bouchard you sly dog!

@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

Commissions are open! Here’s an example of what you can get from me:

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes Headcanon -

This is a headcanon that requires really long arms but here it goes. XD

I can't stop thinking about how Katsuki and Ochako's formal attire matches and how it was Momo and Eijiro that gave them them the attire. At first, I really wanted to have some bts matchmaking going on but then I realized it wouldn't work because Eijiro packed the attire before the events of the movie, so there's no way Momo and him formed the plan together before hand.

So here's the part that requires really long arms. Since Momo was there to witness Ochako's clear jealousy of Izuku interacting with Melissa given Kyoka and Momo were subtly shaming him for it (like girls chill, he's not even dating Ochako he's allowed to talk to other girls XD) she forms a plan after being reminded Katsuki and Izuku are "fated rivals". She calls (or Kyoka if she's in on the plan too and I don't see why not since she was there too. It also probably makes more sense she has Kirishima's number over Momo because of Denki. Then again they both know Mina and she'd probably be the better middle man to call Kirishima to get info) Kirishima to ask he and Katsuki are planning on going to the party and what they'll be wearing. Eijiro being good natured and not seeing any hidden intentions reveals what the outfits look like. She at the last minute lends Ochako an outfit that conveniently fits with the suit Katsuki wears. Her plan is to get Izuku's rival to match with Ochako to potential break some kind of ice between them. This in turn would get Izuku's attention and finally do something about his feelings for Ochako. Ochako has no idea about this plan because she would have never approved of it. Due to Momo's nature she internally feels guilty about this plan the whole way through but she convinces herself no harm is really being done because she's doing it to have Ochako's back against a love rival. She also can't imagine Katsuki ever really going for Ochako so there's really no harm in giving her friends a little push in the right direction. Kirishima is none the wiser to any of this because he just wants his buddy to let loose, eat food, and have a good time. If you haven't picked it up, the reason why this headcanon is a stretch is because I don't think it's in Momo's character to be that sneaky and conniving especially just for petty jealousy. She's too much of the nice, mom friend to form such a plan, even if it is to help a good friend. But who knows, maybe Kyoka Jiro convinced her to be that sneaky!? XD TLDR: I really want someone to make an AU fanfic of the Two Heroes movie where no bad guys come by and they actually go to a party. I want the origin of the matching attire to be discussed! Heck even throw in the comic where Bakugo gets pissed off with Deku looking too much into flower symbolism in the fanfic. XD

A few days ago, I decided to look through Hey Arnold background characters to see if I can find any adults that could be good candidates for parents for Edmund. I found one (the guy on the right) and I designed the other one myself. I decided to look through bg characters in the first place because I honestly had nothing to go with what I wanted Edmund’s folks to be. Now that I have at least one character from the background I chose, I’m able to build a backstory off from that whenever I need them.

Plus, I find it amusing Edmund’s pop being a big, buff, security guard. I know it’s basically a very common trope, but I still think it fits and amusing.

The guy on the right is the security guard in “Pre-Teen Scream”.

Just a fun cosplay idea I wanted to do. I made them adults in the image because it felt right. Edmund is basically a Viking, werewolf woodcutter and Debora is an Irish, little, red, riding hood leanan sidhe (for context, a leanan sidhe is an Irish fairy that feeds on the life force of artists in exchange for being a muse). I either wanted to make Debora's costume a leanan sidhe or vampire, I chose the former because I like that it was vampiric in nature but not a full on vampire. I liked the description fit Debora's character more than a vampire would. Anyway, Hope you like what you see. P.S. Edmund's muscles are fake and it's just stuffing. Adult Edmund would never be that buff in my book and would only have muffin tops. XD

Yay! Thank you so much I love it! It’s fine, I would of been happy with the one but I appreciate the extra! Poor Zeke, he’s great at the grappling part of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu but that’s about it.

Maybe Jimmy Jr. and/or Flips White Fudge can help train him to be more flexible. XD

Thank you again for doing my suggestion!

Oooh martial arts buddies

(He's trying to show her a cool training pose but poor boy's a little stiff)

OOOH BUDDIES

Thanks @qilin-crusader for suggesting these two precious kiddos. I would love to do your pun off idea but I'm not good at wordplay pffft. Have an extra though :D

I think after "Yes without my Zeke" Tina might loosen up on Zeke's troublemaking so he gets to stay at Wagstaff. Cuz ya know, maybe she doesn't mind too much having to "share" Jimmy Jr. Maybe she's grown to have a little soft spot for the smelly stocky boy

Forget Louise, I want to know what's under Flips Whitefudge's hat!

Bob's Burgers OC Outfits: Anna Zita Ling

I wanted to make a logo for Anna's parents' business and the rest just followed after. I also plan to give her a cute dress for formal events. Though for now, I'm taking a minor break from my BB OC fanart to work on some DnD fanart. I hope you enjoy this in the meantime
