A Few Days Ago, I Decided To Look Through Hey Arnold Background Characters To See If I Can Find Any Adults

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

Flips Whitefudge Headcanons:

So um, since I decided it be really interesting to ship Flips with my BB oc, Willow I thought it would be fun to list some headcanons. The more I can develop his character, the better it is for hypothetical shipping art. So here we go! 1. Flips Whitefudge's is not his legal name, only his rapper name. His legal name is Philip J. (James) van Tripp

2. He's 29 going on 30 soon. Hip hop became his and his mother's whole thing when he was 11 1/2 years old. 3. His favorite snack is white chocolate covered pretzels (big shocker I know!)

4. Flips lives with his mother until his dancing and/or rapping career takes off. He's not a complete slacker though and does try to help around the house when he's not completely distracted with his hip hop aspirations (which is admittingly almost all the time).

5. He's desperate for dance battles during his mom's hip hop classes because any time he's tried to enter a dance battle on the streets, no one takes him seriously.

6. Whitefudge was originally an insult from his younger years that made fun of his cringy attempts at being street that Flips reworked to being part of his identity in a positive way.

7. Even though hip hop dancing is his main passion, he also dabbles in beatboxing, rap battles, and is a graffiti appreciator.

8. Shelly is a single parent and got her son and herself deeply invested in hip hop 18 1/2 years ago as a trauma response to Flips' father leaving them (can't decide if I want it to be abandonment or death though). That's right, I'm making the cringy humor of Shelly and Flips linked to angst. Why can't I let just things not be that deep?! 9. "Malibu's Most Wanted" is Flips' favorite so-bad-it's-good, guilty pleasure movie to watch every now and then. He will deny any resemblance to him and the main character though. (Any time I see Flips I think of that movie even though I haven't seen it in years. So I might as well connect it to him.) XD

10. Shelly and Flips love watching "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and "Living Single" together. (Full disclosure, I never seen "Living Single" I just picked 90s sitcoms that were centered around a hiphop/rap artists. I love Fresh Prince though.) In general, their tv majority of the time stays on the BET channel or MTV (though they still mourn the lack of music videos on the channel). 11. Shelly bans Flips from practicing any breakdancing moves that involves his head being upside down to avoid potential neck breaking. She will lift the ban when she sees her son be able to do other intense break dancing moves without literally breaking anything. 12. Flips often thinks about joining Jairo's capoeira classes to help improve his hip hop/break dancing skills but has yet to have fully commit and finally join.

13. Flips and Shelly are one of those people that unironically dab, unfortunately. 14. Flips tried to be a disc jockey a few times in his life but he never got passed doing more than small events like school dances. 15. Despite appearing confident and charming, Flips is not so great at the dating game. Most potential partners find him way too extroverted or too focused on hip hop that it's basically his only character trait, which makes him annoying. He tries not to let it get to him though because he likes himself and that's all that matters. Someday someone will be able to handle all of him, he hopes so anyway. Okay, that's all the headcanons I can think of for him so far. I hope you find them amusing or potentially useful. Maybe I'll edit this post later to add more headcanons. Only time will tell. Thank you to all who read my ramblings. lol

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!

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.”

First piece submitted for me this year! I wanted to do Debmund piece with the pair cosplaying as other pairs, whether canon or not that inspired them. I do feel while I most likely have some that are left out whether intentionally or not, these are the ones I feel had the most important impact on the process I had with these characters. My intent was to one, have fun with the cosplay aspect of it and two, to provide something to the people that like my character. I want to make a fanfiction with my character in it someday and finally provide closure for some people. Until then though, this is just something to show my thought process as I developed the ship in my headspace over the years. I also finally have closure on making Harold and Rhonda as Ares and Aphrodite! Woo, that was a clear connection that I wanted to do for so long.

Well, my college Adobe subscription is finally expired, Oh well, time to install the Adobe CS6 edition I have been holding on to for years for this exact reason! Adobe: Lol sorry, we decided to revoke your serial number. Guess you got to pay monthly if you want a program that Lazy Nezumi Pro works best in! Friendly Umbrella Carrying Koalas!

I love this series and Silver finally get some love, maybe. Silver is a little whiny dork but I love him anyway. At least Manic kind of likes him even if he can’t remember his name.

It begins!

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

@tacosandtouchtanks

It works too! tried it myself

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
