So Not a Pity Kiss! Couldn't think of a better title for the image, so here it is anyway. For context, Tina claimed the "Apoca-lips" was a pity kiss because she was flattered Zeke liked her, decided to throw him a bone before they all died, and nothing more.
Zeke doesn't buy it because no one gives a kiss like that out of pity. To prove him wrong, Tina tells him to reenact the kiss on her. She's so sure that it won't affect her and that she'd be able to tell the level of passion and say once and for all it was definitely pity and nothing else. Since Zeke would take any excuse to kiss Tina, he agrees to the challenge. With Tina's consent, Zeke tries to reenact the "Apoca-lips" from memory as best as he can. Tina is in trouble when she realizes that Zeke is a better kisser than she thought. So she has a very long, painful 2 seconds as she tries to not give in to the moment, remain perfectly still, and not even close her eyes. She can't let Zeke be right. It was just a pity kiss, just pity.
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
I have been waiting two days to post this! This is my favorite of the bunch and hope to color it one of these days. I've been waiting for more Zeke playing a guitar content but fanfics usually have him as a drummer. So I decided to be the change I wanted to see in the world. XD
I'll leave it to your interpretation of what Zeke is singing to Tina. I definitely have some ideas for what the song could be, but I'm personally having trouble choosing myself. Anyway, I know I'm late with the other two prompts. I'm going to do my best to finish the rest though so I can complete the set. I really wanted to do the prompts I missed as drabbles so I can practice my writing.
Enough about future plans though. I hope you enjoy the sketch as much as I do. X3
Yay! Willow gets more cute outfits! I love her so much and want her to be in all the cute outfits I can think of. Though, this is all I had in mind for now. Below the "keep reading" barrier is Willow's lingerie look. I made it so I could show people as much of Willow's vitiligo as I could without making her completely nude. I show the front and back of her lingerie attire, so enter at your own risk of seeing Willow's heinie. Though like I said in my first post about Willow, her patterns aren't stationary. So there's no obligation to be 100% accurate with her marks. Heck, it could make designing clothes for her more fun if the vitiligo patterns are mixed up every now and then. Anyway, enjoy the cuteness and all that jazz. Edit 8/11/2023: I added another dress for Willow.
Finally! people can finally know who Debora has to live with on a daily basis!
I won't give them all intense descriptions like I did for Debora herself. In fact, given the fact I changed the gender of a sibling different from what I had planned, I might even consider changing some parts of her backstory. I don't think I would do anything too big, maybe just the age she moved to Hillwood be slightly older. That way she can have a taste of the first grade in her birth town or something. I don't know, I'm going to have to think about it. So this is a warning if you have read Debora's backstory a long time ago, it may be slightly different from when you last read it. I might not change it though because that's a lot of copying and pasting and I should just make a new image just for her backstory like everybody else.
Anyway, onto the brief descriptions.
Zachary (Zack) Marcus Blaney:
MBTI Type: INTP
Height: 5'2 (when is a full-grown adult)
Zack is 7 years younger than Debora, but think he's ten years smarter than her. He loves getting under Debora's skin to get a rise out of here just to prove how childish her outbursts are compared to his calm demeanor in their arguments. He does not like affection and rejects any notion that Debora has anything in common in him because that would only make her clingy because she desperately craves conversations over shared interests. Zack hates bonding with his sister because she always goes overboard and is too obsessive with her own interests that he wants no part in. Zack also feels that if he does hang out with her it would just enable her and reaffirm her belief she doesn't need friends when she has her family. Even though as he grows older he becomes more cold, deadpan, and aloof deep down he cares for his sister and doesn't want her a sniveling crybaby anytime somebody calls her a mean name.
Leslie Winifred Blaney
MBTI Type: ISFP
Height: 5'3
Leslie is the overprotective mother that loves her children way too much. She's the kind of person that keeps her children homeschooled to keep them safe, security cameras all over her house, and discreetly hides tape recorders in her children's backpacks because she watches way too many real crime shows. Despite her over-protectiveness of her children, she herself is actually pretty reckless and nobody can talk her out of something because she does whatever she wants without any regard for other people's concerns. She is a very optimist person and a strong person because she needs to be for the ones she loves. Debora tries to talk to her about her interests because she is the most supportive out of everybody else in the family, but even then Leslie doesn't understand her passion and rarely gives feedback. On the plus side, she still listens to Debora, even if her special interests will never be anything that she would be interested in.
Elias Nathaniel Blaney
MBTI Type: ISTP
Height: 5'81/2
Elias is a hardworking man that loves his family and likes to make rude jokes to get raises out of people. He's usually grumpy and it's hard to talk to him without hearing about the horrible day he's had. He hates his job and when he's not working on something he spends the rest of the day watching tv or fixing the house and then complaining about having to do it. Like Leslie, he is also reckless, but his type of reckless is more dangerous because he craves excitement in his life. For example, he may adopt a potentially dangerous hobby until it, sometimes literally, blows up in his face and then he stops. It's hard for Debora to talk about her problems with him because more often than not he'll compare her problems with his and point out how worse his problems are, making her regret opening up to him at all. What makes it worse is that there are days when it is easy to talk to him, but then Debora realizes it's because he was able to eat his candy today and it's only a matter of time until he runs out and gets in a bad mood again. He's not a bad guy or a physically abusive person. He does love his family, he just hates everything else about his life. Debora and the rest of her family need to constantly make sure that they aren't cracking any eggshells that will set him off and have a reason for him to complain... again.... today. Though if there's anything good you can say about him is that he is not and never was ashamed of the fact his daughter had a mental illness. He loves Debora and just wants her to be happy and people to see her for the sweet, empathetic person she really is.

So precious! I love it so much thank you, thank you! (I like to think Louise and Gene are doing the bare minimum and boiling the noodles offscreen XD. (Maybe I should give them more credit though, maybe Lousie would chop the vegetables because knife. Maybe Gene is helping Zeke make his 3 mother figures a song for mother's day as payment for the Bolognese help?) So if you have read the manga, "Kitchen Princess" this is basically that. Specifically, chapter 10 where the main character tries to remake the recipe of a dead person. The added difficulty for Zeke and the Belcher kids though is that the only people alive that know of the taste haven't had the dish for decades. No one can trust Gayle, Gloria is in Florida, Linda can't know because it's a mother's day surprise, and Lorraine is only semi-trustworthy. Taste buds change as you get older and what you assumed you remembered about a dish may not be the same as it used to be. So there's a lot that's stacked against them. That's not going to stop the kids from trying to get someone who has had the recipe and make them taste-test it until they get it right. I like to think as Zeke gets older, his knowledge of spices, seasonings, and even textures only gets better over time. So he's able to guess pretty well what a recipe needs based on a description. Though, that's a challenge all on its own because some of the descriptions are vague because again, they haven't had the dish in decades. The reason why they even decided to do this for mother's day in the first place is that it was originally Louise's idea. This mother's day Louise has become hyper-aware of how great her mom is and realizes she's the age Bob was when his mother died (which depending on if he's 44 or 46, it can range from 11 to 14. However, I choose 12 though because it feels right). So she decides to try again with the sauce since they have "Mr. Perfect Palette" Zeke here. Though they almost don't get him on board because Tina felt guilty asking for help on their mother's day thing when he has 3 mother figures (his bio mom, stepmom, and grandma if that wasn't obvious already) in his life he has to think about for mother's day. Zeke is literally their only hope of gettting anywhere close to correct on the sauce recipe in Louise's mind, so he still gets on board somehow.
I want this sort of "Sauce Side Story" sequel to exist so bad! Getting this awesome piece is a good alternative though. Thank you again!
Teenage Zeke & Tina commission I did for @qilin-crusader 💫
It's these two along with Louise & Gene trying to recreate that lost Bolognese recipe we saw in the "Sauce Side Story" episode. No worries, things are going jusssst fine (no they ain't)
Just a she/her that loves animation, creating characters, and shipping a lot. Commissions are closed, sorry.
