I wanted to update you, thanks to "So You Stink You Can Dance", I now conclude that Zeke became a Wagstaff student in 6th grade over 5th grade. It's thanks to Leslie getting his spirit crushed by Spencer that I was able to figure it out. Given Leslie can drive, is not much taller than Jimmy Jr., and I assume around the same height as Logan, the youngest he can be is 16. He also could probably be 17 or 18 but I'm going with 16 for now. I believe he would be much taller if he was in his 20s. Leslie used to love dancing and Zeke has a video of him on his phone his cousin dancing at the age of 13. We find out that Leslie tried to take his dancing to the next level "a few years ago" so it is at least more than 2. Since this is the first time Jimmy Jr. is hearing about Leslie getting crushed by the same man that he is going to get criticism from, Leslie had to have been rejected before Zeke went to Wagstaff. If he was rejected when Zeke and Jimmy Jr were already friends, you know Zeke would have been talking about it with JJ for comfort so it wouldn't make sense for JJ not to already know the story before the episode.
So my timeline is Leslie got the brutal criticism at 13 (to be fair, he could have been older when he tried out, but I think the intention of the episode was to show he tried out at the same age JJ and the rest to parallel his situation) while Zeke was 10. Zeke's family moves again when Zeke turns 11 and the scar of Leslie getting his dancing spirit crushed has faded after a year. He goes to Wagstaff in the 6th grade and meets a new friend with a passion for dancing that reminds him of the passion his cousin used to have and they immediately click, much to Tina's dismay.
I prefer 6th grade to 5th grade for Zeke anyway because it shows Tina's original disdain for Zeke in his fist appearance was fresh but not too fresh when it comes to him taking JJ's attention from her.
I have been rewatching some Bob's Burgers episodes and now I am going to show my headcanon of when Zeke first came to Wagstaff. TLDR version, I think Zeke became a student at Wagstaff between 4th and 7th grade. I think my safe bet is either 5th or 6th grade unless I find more evidence. Here's the evidence of how I came to the conclusion. So we know that Zeke wasn't there when Tina, Jocelyn, and Jimmy Jr. were in third grade because in the episode, "Can't Buy Me Math" Jocelyn immediately reveals that she remembers "the pee thing" while neither Zeke nor Tammy comment on it (Also wanted to bring up I know Darryl said 2nd grade but keep in mind he's a grade lower than Tina and the rest). Tammy doesn't because she wasn't there when it happened because she became a Wagstaff student in 8th grade. Jimmy Jr. left before we could ever find out if he remembered. Tammy and Zeke would have definitely commented on remembering it if they knew about it, one being more malicious about it than the other mind you.
So to me, I think it's safe to say that Zeke wasn't with them during third grade. I don't think Zeke was in Wagstaff in 4th grade either because in the episode, "A Fish Called Tina" We get a flashback of 9-year-old Tina with other students. Jimmy Jr. and Jocelyn are in the flashback, but not Zeke. Lastly, in the episode, "A Few Gurt Men" it is revealed by Mr. Branca that someone tried to flush down three spoons last year, which Zeke apologized for. So it's safe to say Zeke was with them during 7th grade and didn't just recently transfer to Wagstaff in the 8th grade like Tammy. So because of the evidence I gathered so far, I think between 4th and 7th grade is when Zeke moved and became a student at Wagstaff.
My guess is 5th or 6th grade until I see something that contradicts it.

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!

Deadline is the 26th September.
Around the time Arnold is 11-12 Miles and Stella decides to adopt a parentless infant from the Green Eyed people. They name the child Phillipe Arnaldo Shortman. This would make a nice setup to parallel Helga and Olga’s relationship. Arnold would enjoy being an older brother, but because of the big age gap as Phillipe grows older, they start to drift apart. Arnold would come to Helga (and Gerald but Helga would better understand the specific situation better because of the age) for advice on how to be a better older brother to Phillipe and Helga and Phillipe would bond about their annoyance of their “perfect older siblings”. Helga and Phillipe’s will eventually have a sibling-like bond that she could really use while Arnold is away for college in a different state.

I decided to take matters into my own hands and did a quick experimental trace of what I think Flips' hair looks like under his hat. I gave him a high top with blonde tips. His hair looks like a half-eaten, unsalted pretzel stick and I love it.
It was either that or dreadlocks and I picked the easier-to-draw option. lol Hopefully, I'll do a legit drawing of Flips soon.
Forget Louise, I want to know what's under Flips Whitefudge's hat!
At first, I just wanted to see the time duration between the kisses Tina did with Jimmy Jr. and Zeke to see how long she did for both of them. I figured I might as well go further and analyze what was going on during the kisses. Since Tina kissed Jimmy Jr. first I'll start with him.
Okay, to start off the kiss overall lasts around 4 seconds which fun fact, the average time duration of a kiss nowadays is 12 seconds according to my brief research on Google. In the 1980s the time duration was 5.5 seconds which Tina was closer to. Though nobody well-adjusted wants to see 13-year-olds kissing for 12 seconds, so glad Tina didn't go fully for either average for what she thought would be her last kiss with JJu. Anyway, as the kiss goes on JJu is basically in shell shock for the duration of the kiss. Not much eye movement to try to process what is happening. Though it's clear that JJu is so shocked that his arms go limp and he loses his backpack in the process. Tina kisses JJu with so much force that they still move slightly as Tina turns her head to make sure her kiss gets every part of his mouth. When Tina first turns her head I notice that JJu's eyebrow does lift up, assumingly because he didn't expect her to deepen the kiss on top of not being expected to be kissed in the first place. His raised eyebrow only lasts for a bit though and it goes back to the normal shell-shocked position when Tina turns her head again. Lastly, and the most interesting part of the kiss in my opinion is the last turn of the head Tina does. Once she turns her head to the last side of JJu's face, he lifts his arm up. Even in his shell-shock state, he still instinctively lifts his arm up. Though, we'll never know if it's because he wanted to push her off or if he wanted to embrace her. Tina ended it before he could do anything with his arms. Though given his reaction of "Whoa" as Tina ran away, it's more likely the latter was the case.
Though even if the kiss did last longer, knowing JJu he most likely would have left his arms like that and have no idea what to do with them because he's a dumb, teenage boy who can't handle that much intimacy.
That's all I can think of to talk about for that kiss. Now onto my favorite one, to no one's surprise.
For Zeke's kiss, it lasts about 2 seconds. That's not surprising seeing as Zeke was never going to get the longer kiss of the two at this point in time. However, what's special about this kiss at the start is that the animators went out of their way to zoom in on Tina kissing Zeke. That's interesting because they didn't put in the effort to turn the medium-long shot into a medium shot for Jimmy Jr. and Tina's kiss. The camera zoom clearly symbolizes the shock Zeke is feeling and emphasizes the shock the audience is supposed to feel at this moment. Though it's also possible they didn't zoom in for JJu because they wanted the audience to notice the arm lift more when it happened.
What's interesting about the start of Tina's kiss to Zeke is that she starts her kiss with her head tilted and then moves it back to it being straight, unlike Jimmy Jr's kiss where she started straight and tilted it both ways as the kiss went on. It's safe to assume it's because she wasn't running towards Zeke for a kiss and was prepared to be more calculated in her kiss. In short, she wasn't going to break her nose for Zeke. Since Zeke only has 2 seconds, he has even less time to react to anything that is happening. He's so shocked that his arms are stiff in place as Tina pulls his backpack straps. Even with his shorter time duration, Zeke's mental reaction time is still faster than JJu's in that his eyebrows raise even higher for a second time (the first was when Tina first pulled on his backpack straps) and his pupils dart up and back in place, not believing what is happening (the pupils darting up and down is my favorite part of this moment X3). After his pupils finish moving, Tina pushes Zeke's backpack straps back with so much force that his arms swing a bit, showing how shocked Zeke was by the whole ordeal. No matter how fast his mental reaction was, it was clearly never going to translate fast enough physically.
After that Tina leaves the poor boy stiff as a board, wondering what the heck just happened.
The episode goes on and even if JJu had the clearly more intimate kiss, he never brings up the kiss even when it's revealed why she did what she did. Meanwhile, despite having the less intimate kiss, Zeke makes it clear that he's open to another kiss in the next apocalypse. Then he immediately drops the playful teasing once Jimmy Jr. gets suspicious of Zeke's wording. Knowing how jealous JJu can get and not wanting to hurt him, Zeke distracts him with wrestling.
I think that's about all I can add to this analysis of the two kisses. Hope you enjoyed reading it. I'll end this by saying, Jimmy Jr. may have got the longer kiss, but Zeke would always have Tina's last kiss that episode and that's more important in my book. XD Also here are some funny screenshots of Zeke's smile turning into a frown once he realizes he screwed up. XD
Made a playlist for the WillowxFlips ship. It’s not as intricate, long, or connected as the Debmund one but hopefully I’ll get that figured out later.
All the context you need is that all songs before Ransom is Willow before she met Flips Whitefudge
Debora in a Fancy Getup:
For context, on the Hey Arnold Amino, I was in a private chat with some people and I wanted to show a rough sketch of what I wanted Debora to look like with formal hair. Then somebody asked what dress I would have her wear and then I did a quick sketch of what I had in mind before I even finished the hair. After I finished finalizing both rough sketches, I was satisfied with what I had, at least until I can color it in. However, Leskuh dropped by and decided to make her own aggie.io sketch of my rough design because she thought it was cute. As usual, I was okay with this because how can I say no to surprise free art of my fan characters? Leskuh lent me the .psd file afterward so I could decide on what colors I wanted. So yeah, lineart is definitely Leskuh’s, but I colored it. I wanted to show this as a preview to what I have planned for her formal look whenever I get around to doing my own outfit lineup for the character.

This is very good for your first time drawing these two. Thank you for doing this suggestion! I think it’s adorable and I hope you had fun doing this.
Here’s a fun fact, the meaning of the name Suzie is “lily”. Lila is only one letter away from that. I know it’s just a coincidence, but I just found that interesting.

Never actually drew them before, this is a good way to start it.
Just a she/her that loves animation, creating characters, and shipping a lot. Commissions are closed, sorry.
