“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.
It’s not the full song but it’s still really cute and I wanted to leave it here so I know where it is. Also, I can show it to all of you as well. I wish it was on youtube though so I could put it in my likes. Oh well!
I'm separating headcanons and ideas because the headcanons are more solid in their stance while the ideas are just shaky story scenes that I think would be cool to do but I'm not sure if I would be into it being my main line headcanon.
Headcanons:
1. While Tina is still dating Jimmy Jr. She tries to apologize to Zeke for being so hostile towards him at the beginning. She admits that she was jealous of how close he was with Jimmy Jr even though she knew him longer, how he seemed to thrive at everything that she hoped to be good at, and how despite being obnoxious, loud, rough, and gross he still was able to get nearly everyone to like him. Meanwhile, she struggled with being tolerated by her Wagstaff peers that weren't her siblings.
Zeke thinks it’s insane that Tina could be jealous of him when he’s jealous of her. Zeke wish he had Tina’s life with parents that aren’t divorced and siblings he could he could hang out with all the time. Not to mention Tina had years to develop the relationships she has with people. Zeke’s family moved around a lot so he had no choice but to make a quick impression on people because he never knows when he’s going to move away again. Even if Tina thinks she has no friends, she always had her Gene and Louise to turn to; Zeke had no one in his family because they were either too old/busy to bother with him, too young to even walk, or only visits for a little while because they live in another state.
Tina grows to appreciate Zeke more after this conversation and officially sees him as a friend rather than Jimmy Jr’s friend that she just has to learn to live with and has mixed feelings over the fact that he has a crush on her.
2. Zeke becomes Louise and Gene’s plan B (or Z for the initial humor) whenever Tina is down in the dumps after Jimmy Jr cancels a date last minute (That is if Zeke isn’t the one Jay Ju canceled on Tina for already). Just a platonic get together so Tina can get her mind off of how much of a jerk Jay Ju is being again. (Kind of like Peppermint Patty forcing Charlie Brown to go to the fair with her so she can help him gets his mind off Snoopy leaving for his original owner in in “Snoopy, Come Home”)
3. Tina succeeds getting Zeke into The Equestranauts series and Zeke unironically talks about the show in the open with her whenever she brings up first.
4. Tina is the first to join Zeke and Peter’s Women Issues Group to help support her friend.
5. Let’s face it, probably one of the reasons Zeke has a crush on Tina is because she probably has some of the biggest boobs in their grade (not the biggest but one of the biggest anyway). It’s not the only reason, but we can’t deny it’s not part of the reason. Zeke being a boob guy is part of his character and we just have to deal with it like we have to deal with Tina being a butt gal. Darn hormonal teenagers! Lol (Heck I should have named my Zekina Beauty and the Beast idea, Booty and the Breast XD)
6. Tina basically becomes 50% of Zeke’s impulse control while everyone else holds the other half of his impulse control which is dangerous since one of the holders of the other 50 percent is Louise.
7. Tina learns to put her foot down more and not be as easily influenced by Louise thanks to Zeke’s help (which also helps in turn to help her be more solid in her being 50 percent of Zeke’s impulse control).
8. When Zeke and Tina get together, Zeke loves giving pda and Tina loves receiving it, but she tries to not overdo it so she isn’t responsible for her family losing business by being too obnoxious with their affection.
9. When they start dating, it’s easier for Tina to count the times Zeke doesn’t have one of his arms around her or hold her hand than it is when he does.
10. Zeke and Tina get married on the beach. Though, they joke about getting married at the aquarium due to it being a church once.
11. After their first time together Tina calls Zeke Zbee assuming that all this time Tbird was just the first letter of her name and a reference to the birds and the bees and had no idea Tbird was short for the name of a car. Zeke got a lot of mileage out of that one (no pun intended)
12. Wrasslin’ is Zeke and Tina’s euphemism for hanky panky, Louise and Gene teases them every now and then about it once they found out.
13. Zeke handles the money related problems in the relationship because he is better at math in comparison to Tina, not the best but still better than Tina.
14. Their first child will be named Daniel or Danielle (depending which gender on I choose) either way the kid will be nicknamed Dani
15. What Zeke loves most about Tina is how she’s always full of surprises. She can be a weird, sweet, insecure, do gooder nerd one moment and the next a fearless, troublemaking badass. A strange anomaly wrapped in a mystery that he wants to solve.
16. What Tina loves most about Zeke is the fact that he really believes she’s this interesting, unsolvable mystery. The girl from her inner world she wishes she was is someone that Zeke already believes she is and she never wants to lose that.
17. Zeke and Tina tried to help set up Saucy up on hermit crab dates at one point, but it didn’t work out. You can’t force love in the wild.
18. Zeke probably hates robots because they keep taking the jobs his family applies to and forcing them to move. Either that or he saw the Terminator too young and now is scarred for life.
19. I can see Zeke reading an erotic friend fiction at one point and leaving the review, “Hot stuf Tbird! Cud use more boobies tho ;].” Tomatina (tomato faced tina) appears after that. (Yes Zeke also spells bad XD)
20. Because of his wrestling background, he probably has the potential to give good massages. Tina certainly would want to put that to the test as soon as possible when they are married.
21. Tina makes it her mission to get the best gift for Zeke every birthday and Christmas. Zeke likes to tease her about it and make it a challenge for her to figure it out. It’s frustrating but she knows he only does it to make the point he’ll love whatever she gets him no matter what, as long as it’s not a robot of any kind.
22. Back to when they were teenagers, Tina and Zeke probably used his hidey hole a lot to privately console each other and talk about their current issues troubling them once they became closer friends.
Shaky fanfiction scene ideas (but I’ll still format it as the headcanon list even though the majority of the numbers are part of one story narrative):
1. Everyone comments about how close Zeke and Tina’s friendship has gotten which both deny and Tina feels that Zeke’s that way too everyone because of his personality. Even Jimmy Jr. is a bit threatened by how close Zeke and Tina are now even though Zeke never and will never cross a line. Jimmy Jr. honestly preferred when Tina hated Zeke because he knows how easily she falls in love with guys that are nice to her (especially ones she knows has a crush on her). Tina would of course be insulted by how little Jimmy Jr trusts her loyalty to their relationship.
2. Tina breaks up with Jimmy Jr. after high school when she realizes he’s never going to fully commit to promising her to be faithful during a long distance relationship. Jimmy Jr. and Zeke’s friendship falls apart as well when Zeke chooses to go to comfort Tina first before JJ.
3. She takes a break from dating for a while after the Jimmy Jr. heart break. After her date break, despite the chemistry she feels with Zeke, she will still continue to date other guys before she’s ready to acknowledge her feelings. Zeke’s also has his fair share of dates with other girls as well. They like to laugh over their failed dates and help each other move on.
4. Tina leaves to go to college to become a novelist. She’s delighted to see Dillon and Susmita to be going to the same college and thanks the heavens above that she may finally have a friend group to call her own that’s not terrible to her. Unfortunately, her personal hell comes true when finds out she’s roommates with Tammy Larsen.
5. To afford to go to college, Zeke tries to join the navy but they reject him because of his ADHD. His dad kicks him out at 18. So with nowhere to go he offers to work at Bob’s Burgers for a place to sleep until he can find a job and his own place to stay. Zeke is right at home with the Belcher family and is delighted that Bob is willing to teach other things besides burgers upstairs in the Belcher kitchen. This confirms to Zeke even more that he wants to go to culinary school.
6. Zeke and Tina would still text each other a lot when Tina is away in college (Tina would eventually get her own phone that’s not only for emergency before college, don’t ask me how XD). No way is Zeke going to let Tina and him become estranged, much to Tammy’s annoyance (a girl’s gotta sleep sometimes lol) and massive jealousy.
7. On summer break of college, Tina would visit her family home. She as well as Zeke would be shocked by all the changes their bodies and attire went through while they were apart. Zeke would lift her up in a big, bear hug to greet his good friend and push down the funny feelings in his tummy while everybody else joins in on the hug.
8. The sexual tension in the air would be so thick that it would need a chainsaw to break it apart. Louise and Gene would have fun with making it worse while Tina is home.
9. Jimmy Jr. would also be back in town during Tina’s summer break. Tina would be lying if she said that Jimmy Jr didn’t take care of himself well as well. Jimmy Jr would happen to be single at the time and also found Tina she aged gracefully too. Jimmy Jr. would ask her to dinner with him to catch up. Knowing full well he is trying to do, Tina agrees to go. Zeke finds out about Tina seeing Jimmy Jr and tell her to have a nice time even though he’s dying inside. He can’t force her to love him, so why try to stop her from who she wants to be with more.
While Tina goes to meet up with Jay Ju, Zeke “borrows” some beer to ease the pain of letting go. Louise would find everything out and slap some sense into a drunken Zeke. Whether she admits it or not, she’s on team Zeke and there’s no way she would let Tina let Jimmy Jr hurt her again or see her practically adopted brother be sad over this easily fixable thing.
Louise would remind Zeke that him and JJ aren’t friends anymore so what is stopping him from barging in to the restaurant telling Tina that he wants her bad and killing JJ. Even in his drunken state Zeke wouldn’t want to kill JJ, but he would agree with Louise that he’s been playing it safe in the friendship for too long and it’s time to rock the boat.
When Louise and Zeke make it to the restaurant, Tina would already be leaving the place looking like she did something very cathartic. It would be revealed that Tina basically only agreed to meet up with JJ again just to make it clear to him that she outgrew him and that there’s no chance that they will ever get back together again after everything he put her through, that and get a free meal.
Louise would be proud of her sister to finally overcome the JJP drug while also pushing Zeke to say what he went there to say. Zeke nerves and drunken state would get the better of him and he would zoom to the nearest trash can to barf. After an awkward ride of silence home, Tina would help give Zeke water until he would be sober enough to talk things over.
Zeke would pour his heart out that he still holds a torch for Tina and never stopped even when they were doing great as just friends. He wanted to tell her so much sooner but it was never the right time. Then when Tina came back for summer, he thought fate finally gave him and Tina a chance to start something. That is until Jimmy Jr popped in back to town at the worst possible time. He was so heartbroken that he thought he missed his shot again that he was going to drink the pain away until Louise stopped his pity party.
He would say screw it whether it was the right or wrong time to say it because he’s done staying silent just so the next long necked Casanova can come and steal her heart while he just learns to live with it. If Tina still didn’t want to give him a chance, he would be fine with that, but at least he got what he needed off of his chest. His only hope now would be that if Tina did reject his confession they would still be friends.
It would be Tina’s turn to get something out of her hand and give it to Zeke, it was an after dinner mint from the restaurant. Tina would tease him that she didn’t want to kiss someone with barf breath. Zeke never would have dreamed that he would be trying to suck through a mint so fast.
Their kiss would be soft and innocent at the start but get more and more intimate once Tina wordlessly gives Zeke permission to do so. Years of unreciprocated love pouring out and being shared by one another and it makes them both feel like the only people in the world that matter to each other for a moment.
10. After they become official, Jimmy Jr apologizes to both of them for real this time and hopes that one day maybe they could all be friends again. Not wanting to hold any grudges, Zeke and Tina want to bury the hatchet with Jimmy Jr. but make it clear they aren’t pals yet and they want to see that Jimmy Jr. earns their trust first.
Okay, that’s all that I have stored up in my brain for ZekexTina headcanons and fanfiction ideas (which is basically just a bunch of scenes that form into one big story honestly, I’m not very good at making my ideas small XD)
Okay here’s a bonus headcanon for Gene. His favorite song from Veggietales is Barbara Manatee and thus formed his attraction to the manatee puppet in that ship kidnapped episode.
I decided to change my qilin-crusader username to my Instagram username. It was rare for people to pronounce the first part of it correctly so I ended up hating the name. Not much of an update, but having an easy-to-pronounce name is just nice.
I'm very intrigued by this title and the synopsis. It sounds like it's going to be another Belcher kids tell stories episode. I really hope that we get to see aged-up versions of the kids, even if it's only hypothetical. I so want to know if I was struck by Apollo's prophecy dodgeball or was way off in their designs! XD Either way, I never expected to get an aged-up Belcher kids episode this fast! Then again, I only just recently got into the show while older fans have been waiting way longer. Though I don't want to hold my breath because I still could be wrong about where the episode will be going. Heck I could be right and still not get the kids aged up and they'll still have their child bodies but with their dream jobs in their hypotheticals because it's funny. XD I really want to see them aged up in the maybe stories, so they better not take that away from me if I'm right. lol
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.
Finally googled if anybody discussed the meaning of "Just What I needed"
So here's the link to what people think the song is about. https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/5845/ Basically, if you gender-flip the song, I think it fits Tina's relationship with Jimmy Jr. She has no idea why she likes him and he's not that healthy to be around but he's just "what she needed" anyway. It's a cynical, dark song about a toxic partner that the singer shouldn't be with but they are drawn to the partner anyway in short. So yeah, not the most positive song for Tina the poor girl. Though not sure if that was the intention on the part of the showrunners to signal that Jimmy Jr. is toxic or they just thought it was a good song for spin the bottle?
Honestly, I just want to see the Hormon-iums end credits be analyzed. More specifically how each boy of the 4 reacted to Tina kissing them. I mostly only care about Zeke and J Ju obviously. Jimmy Jr. and Tina are obviously more confident and have no hesitation because they kissed before. However, I just find it cute that before Zeke kissed Tina he tilted his head and raised his eyebrows as if to say "Are you sure you want to do this" or "you ready for this" (at least that's how I interpreted it). The point is, there was some hesitation before the moment. After it happened, Zeke was shocked and his eyes opened faster than Tina's did. Even though the end credits aren't canon, it's still interesting to see all the different ways the kissing was animated and it wasn't just a copy/paste kissing animation.
Hey there! Thank you very much for your patience! And thank you so much for this very interesting request and I agree with your analysis but let's take one step after the other.
As always this is very much just my opinion! My interpretation! My headcanons! (sorry for any mistakes).
First I want to take a look at the kiss with Darryl.
Because I think there is something interesting to take into account. I want to think Tina chose Darryl over Peter in this moment because they kissed before in "Can't buy me math".
I like to think they are still friends. We all know Tina loves kissing but many scenes make me wonder if to her it does not always has to be romantic. She just likes to kiss without the prospect of finding her one true love through it. Maybe it's all practice?
The first kiss is very quick, just a peck and means nothing. Darryl even wipes his lips while Tina is monologing.
And now let us look at the other kisses. I gif-ed them.
Nameless Boy #1: I feel like this boy knows what he is doing. They near each other without any hestiance, both having their eyes open at first. He realises that he is not closes enough, peeks and closes the distance. It's simple and short and there is no romantic intent or passion. Tina doesn't smile and it's just a short soft peck. Her eyebrows rise after the kiss but I guess it's suprise because he closes in rather fast and she is pushed back a bit. Let's get over with it XD
Nameless Boy #2: I wonder if that was his first kiss. He goes in with closed eyes. Makes me also wonder if Tina realised her mistake from before. She has her eyes open until she knows she is close enough and only at the end she closes her eyes. Again the kiss is a very soft short peck. What I really find remarkable is how he his eyes fly open. He looks so suprised. Not sure because it is over already or if it was better or worse than he thought? Also it does not feel romantic. Again it's short and Tina does not smile!
But I headcanon that since Louise coached her Tina is a really good kisser. She also had a lot of practice xD. Either way, if it was his first kiss... good for him :)
Zeke: As you said, there is this questioning look on Zekes face - tilt of his head down wards, raising of his eyebrows - before he moves in. Interesting is, that Tina moves at the exactly same time so the communication of her agreeing must has been somewhere we aren't able to see.
This is after the episode "The Oeder Games" in which Zeke told Tina the second time that he likes her. And this is also after the episode "Stand by Gene" in which Tina considers Zeke as a potential Love interest - even if only for a second.
I'm not sure if it just me but Tina seems to smile a bit more than with the others? I'm not 100% sure though. But what is happening is that this kiss takes a bit longer. Still quick but longer. It's also not one of them moving while the other waits, no the both move at the same time. They reach the middle at the same time and both have their eyes closed. They know where they have to move! And what I really love (like you mentioned!) is after they move away from each other Zeke looks so suprised like "first kiss with Tina!!!" and his eyes actually snap open because (I imagine) he wants to see her reaction. And Tinas reaction is amazing. Because her eyes OPEN SO SLOWLY?! She moves back, her mouth returns to it's normal position - maybe a slight smile - and then her eyes slowly open. Like she thinks that was better than she thought.
This is so different to the other two. It's also soft but different soft... holy shit.
Jimmy Jr.: Last one. Jimmy Jr. is the boy she had kissed most of the times at that point. They had been on-and-off in the last five seasons. Here too, both move in at the same time. They know what they do, they have done this before BUT the last gap is closed by Jimmy Jr. This kiss seems to be like the least soft. We also don't see the after-kiss. Right after this it cuts to black.
What is interesting is that there is also not going on much on Jimmy Jr.s face. His eyes drop at the beginning and I wonder if it's because he has to figure out how much he has to lean down so he can reach Tinas lips. Tinas eyebrows lower while she is leaning in but immediately raise up right before the kiss. She also seems to smile a bit? Compared to that JJs expression is sill very neutral and that is so in-character. He always seems so distant and there is never shown any reason why he likes Tina.
Maybe he likes to kiss Tina? She is probably is very good at it but in this case it's also just a game?
I'm honestly stumped about Jimmy Jr.

So, I hope you enjoyed that. As an (almost) last thought: I was very confused about you saying "the credits are not canon" and wondered where that came from? And then I realised that sometimes that might be true XD For example when they are just pixels. But stuff like this here I actually consider canon, as well as some of the the scenes when they are back in the restaurant. Maybe not the singing part but Tina kissing all the boys at the party? Yeah that seems like it can work. But in the end I guess it's up to us what we want to add to our (head-)canon.
---
Now to the very last thought. I looked up the song "Just what I needed" by The Cars
But the lyrics gave me nothing. So if anyone wants to do a deep dive into analysing the lyrics, be my guest!
That’s fine it’s just a headcanon I had for a while for Edmund to give him more development as a character. This isn’t just some random diagnosis just because. I do have some reasoning for my headcanon. It mostly comes from “Mudbowl” and “Friday the 13th”. In both episodes he is shown to be easily distracted. Out of all the bullies they show in the football game, Edmund seems to be the one they show to be the most confused out of all them with Arnold’s, in Helga’s words “loopy plays” as they make it a point to show Wolfgang slamming Edmund to the ground (almost twice until Phoebe intervened). It’s not just in the game though, earlier on in the episode he’s distracted at copying Wolfgang by pointing at the fourth graders until Wolfgang has to literally drag out of the scene by the collar. In “Friday the 13th” he is shown to be distracted twice when chewing gum, not noticing Wolfgang’s annoyance of him supporting Gerald’s sly, dance moves or not immediately laughing at his “clever” joke.
ADD could possibly, maybe explain his apathy towards Wolfgang near the end of the episode, being easily bored of the situation since we found out earlier in the episode he’s not superstitious (still wasn’t cool of him to not take his friend’s ridiculous fear seriously though).
This part is more speculation than the rest, but I like to think that him playing Kings Rule shows he has some creativity in that mind of his. ADD people are usually known for their out of the box thinking. He was the one the planted the idea in Wolfgang’s mind that started the bet in “Chocolate Boy” in the first place
There’s also that “laugh and agree” moment in the “Grand Prix episode, but I can’t tell if that was him daydreaming/distracted or just not caring to kiss up to Wolfgang until he was told to? So, I don’t bother counting that.
In the end, I’m aware that most of this could just come down to he’s just an idiot and nothing more to it. I just wanted to add something that doesn’t just pin him to being dumb because that’s boring. Though it’s definitely reassuring to know that you actually know somebody in your life that could give you that realistic perspective on things. Thank you for your time, even your “none answer” still means something to me.
Hey, I wanted to talk about Edmund again because why not. I've talked about this before with other people, but I wanted to ask you since you were open to more Edmund asks. Anyway, I headcanon that Edmund has ADD. Do you think that makes sense with the limited screen time he has had or do you think he has something else?
I haven’t seen any evidence to ADD. My mom has ADD and it was... an experience, growing up with someone who wanders off at random and has difficulty holding conversations or listening at all. I can’t remember any instances where Edmund seemed easily distractible, but maybe I’m wrong. I’d need some examples for why you hold that headcanon.
Tbh, I don’t really think a lot about what kind of disorders characters have unless it’s glaringly apparent there’s something going on with them and/or it reminds me of something I’ve already seen. Like when my friend said Arnie is autistic, everything just kinda lined up in my head and suddenly made sense and it’s always cool when that happens with a character. Sid has anxiety and OCD, Miriam’s of course depressed, I’ve always headcanoned Arnold as having ADD actually. But it doesn’t happen often that I diagnose characters. I focus more on behaviors and the experiences that might have inspired those behaviors. That's just more enjoyable to me. Sorry that’s kind of a boring none-answer, lmao.
Lol! So funny! Thank you for this cute and amusing gift! I was happy to help and I'm glad you enjoyed the gif so much. The art was definitely worth the wait. Those two silly teenagers! XD
The owl in Zeke's mind is hilarious! XD
A lil experimental piece for @dreamboundedstar as a thank you for making me the most perfect gif 🙏I hope you like it!
Awesome! I love you for adding to the Janaldo community now! Great job!
