Personally, My favorite Bob's Burgers Comic for a "Zekina" moment is issue #2 of the 2015 Bob's Burgers Comic series. It's in the story, Jungle Tina, sure at first Zeke was hostile toward Tina, but then he quickly changed when she talked about how she could beat Jimmy Jr because of her experience wrestling animals. Then the rest of the story is basically just Zeke agreeing with Tina that Jimmy Jr was being a tool. https://bobs-burgers.fandom.com/wiki/Issue_2 More than that, I really love this issue for cover B
I really love the art style of the cover but more than that, I love how cute Zeke, Tina, and Jimmy Jr. are being. Sure, this is more of a win for Jimmy JrxTina shippers than it is for Zekina shippers, but just look at Zeke.
They could have drawn him looking at Jimmy Jr being happy for him that he's getting his girl, but he's looking at Tina instead. It can still be interpreted as Zeke being happy for Jimmy Junior but I also like to interpret it as him just being happy seeing Tina so happy to be with her crush, even if it's not with him. I mean This comic came out on August 5th, 2015 while Zeke's declaration of marriage to Tina was said on January 4th of the same year. The math adds up if you want to overthink a cover, which I do! XD
Hello Zeke and Tina nation how do we feel about the Bob’s Burgers comics and the not-so-subtle thing those two seem to have going on in a lot of Tina’s stories
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!
Here you go @unclefathersantateddy! It was easy for the most part. The hardest part was trying to compress it under 10mb for this site. I edited it in media encoder and shrunk the target bitrate when it was mp4. file. I had to use a specific site to make the MB even smaller as a gif because media encoder doesn't have the option to decrease the target bitrate when you want to make it into a gif file. Here's the site btw to anyone who has gifs over 10 mb. https://www.freeconvert.com/gif-compressor ETA Here's one with just Gene and Bob's hands now that I realized you probably didn't care about the extra stuff.
I really need a tech nerd to make a gift of the new Bob's Burgers episode where Bob is smushing Gene's face and Gene goes "simple?" PLEASE I will trade you with a drawing in return 🙏

Anything I've been doing lately: Aside from work, I have recently just been drawing and trying to catch up with a Youtube DND stream series I have been holding off for a long time. It's called "Shadows of the Old World", the sequel series to "Welcome to the Show". I also recently bought some items for a future cosplay I want to do. I don't do cosplays often so this will probably be the only time I'll do it, lol
Anything you intended to do later: Either more drawing or finally return back to writing the stuff I have been putting off.
Anything you recently watched or played: I already mentioned the DND stream series so I'll just say that I recently binge-played the entire remastered trilogy of Spyro. I got the Spryo/Crash bundle when it was on sell on Steam. Though I'm not binge-playing Crash like I did Spyro because I want to be productive in my free time.
Anything you've been meaning to watch or play: It's more of a read but I've been putting off reading the "Go the Distance: A Twisted Tale" book I got a while ago. I love Disney's Hades but reading a real book is a lot harder for me. lol I've been holding off on seeing finishing "Freakazoid" and "Dan Vs." I want to watch both in full, but I have so much other stuff I have in my downloaded video folders and I'm trying to keep up with the stuff I put in the watch later on Youtube so it doesn't go over 100. This isn't a "I've been meaning "to watch and more of a "I plan to watch" but I'm looking forward to Undead Unluck coming out in October. It's been confirmed that it's going to be on Hulu so I'm happy because I already use that service for Bob's Burgers and other anime. So September for Bob's Burgers and October for Undead Unluck, both months are going to be good for me!
Anything else you'd like to say: Uuuuuh, I guess that my birthday is coming up on the 8th. No need to say happy bday to me on that day since I keep my asks closed anyway. However, if you really feel like it, just comment here on my bday if you want to send me good bday vibes.
Okay, thank you for reading and I tag no one because I don't feel like it. Anyone who feels likes doing it, be my guest.
Tagged by the lovely @mouseberry! Thank you love for letting me overshare lol 💕
Current time: 2:46pm
Anything you’ve been doing lately: I’ve been getting into pins lately, but my collection is tiny and small. Baby collection of pins. The only kind of shopping I’m comfortable with is usually buying commissions, so I’ve been trying to do like… clothes shopping which blegh
Anything you intend to do later: Going to watch a musical with a friend, who fun fact is an ex girlfriend of sorts but shh (just kidding it’s not a secret. My partner is going to the beach today, and I like indoor activities lol)
Anything you recently watched or played: Season two of The Bear! I’m a giant baby though, so I can only take it one episode at a time like Bojack Horseman lol
Anything you’ve been meaning to watch or play: Why do I always forget every show ever- oh! I want to watch the new Dimension 20 show, Dungeons and Drag Queens 🥰
Anything else you'd like to say: Somebody teach me how to write tinimmy please the writers block is so real. Zekina I can do because I think “what would make my sister happy,” but I haven’t grown up with a tinimmy shipper so I’m floundering

I did a glimpse of a wedding headcanon for this ship in one of my other Zekina posts, but now I want to make it its own thing.
Before I start though. There's a line of dialogue from the episode "So You Stink You Can Dance" that I have been stuck on for a while. I didn't want to make another post for that episode because I already have two. So I'm pairing it with this because it sort of fits the theme. Jimmy Jr.: I know what this is! Tina: Two friends who care about you, and their cousin Leslie. Tina what do you mean "their"?! Leslie isn't your cousin and last I checked, Zeke didn't use they/them pronouns (Not that I'm against him using they/them if the character decides to because that's mean, but I'm just making a point here). Tina could have said "and Zeke's cousin Leslie", "and cousin Leslie", or even just "and Leslie". Either Tina had a Freudian slip moment or Dan Mintz really needed to redo that take so it would stop crazy people like me from overthinking lines like that. XD You don't just involve two people in a sentence and then imply both people have a familial relationship with a third person when it's not the case like that! XD As a self-proclaimed crazy person, I'm taking this as Tina is eventually going to marry Zeke after all so that line can be true and Leslie becomes Tina's cousin-in-law. XD Okay now onto the wedding headcanons 1. Tina and Zeke get married on the beach. (I already said this before but now I'm clarifying it again)
2. They get married on July 28th (it was the day the first zombie movie, "White Zombie" was released. Also, a summer beach wedding seems more fitting than a fall one. The first "Night of the Living Dead" was released on October 1st while the remake was released on the 19th of the same month)
3. Their cake toppers are a tiny, bride mustard bottle and a tiny, groom ketchup bottle (originally wanted to do sea urchin and sea cucumber but condiment bottles fit better in my opinion). The cake is white and blue with yellowish-orange (like American cheese) stars lining the bottom of the layers. I wanted to combine an ocean theme and a burger theme combo for the cake. 4. Bob's Burger of the day for the wedding will be called the "Something Blue" cheeseburger (it was originally the longer version, but he shortened it down when he realized less was more for this one). It's a burger topped with blue cheese, fried zucchini (though Gene insisted to go with the Italian translation, zucchina. Bob didn't really get it at first because he didn't know what ship names were. A whole new world of burger ideas was opened once he got the concept of ship names), and ketchup (because it kind of rhymes "getcha" XD)
5. Since the "something blue" is the burger, here's the rest. Old - Tina's glasses. She inconveniently loses the yellow ones that I gave her in my adult design of her and has no choice but to use her old, thick, black ones. New - The fresh, blue daisies she has in her hair. Borrowed - The barrette Zeke keeps on his ear. He lets her borrow it for bangs to keep them in place. That's right, the yellow thing on my design for adult Zeke wasn't another earring. Instead of barrettecklace, Zeke just clips the thing onto his ear like a clip-on earring. Does it hurt? Maybe. Regardless now you all know that it wasn't another earring but Tina's barrette. 6. Cheryl's kid is the flower girl and Sidecar is the ring bearer. (Though if Cheryl's kid turns out to be a boy then Sidecar is the flower boy and Cheryl's kid is the ring bearer because I thought it be cute and funny.) 7. Louise and Gene share the status as the maids of honor while Dillon and Susmita are bridesmaids. Louise wears a suit, Gene wears a suit-dress combo, and the rest wear dresses. 8. Jimmy Jr., in spite of everything is Zeke's best man while the other groomsmen are Rudy and Leslie. They all wear suits. (Zeke needs another friend just so I can make it even between the bridesmaids and groomsmen lol. open to suggestions for the fourth member. I could do Andy and Ollie and just add Jocelyn to Tina's side but I'm not feeling it for multiple reasons) 9. Zeke, of course, tells the Wagstaff Whaler story like he said he would. Meanwhile, Tina surprises Zeke and everyone (except Louise and Gene) when she provides a stitched-together version of all the moments she wrote about Zeke in her diary in chronological order. It was a very sweet way of showing Zeke the progression of her feelings from when she first meant him to now. Louise and Gene helped her with the idea before the wedding to be sure that it didn't get too spicy and for another Buttloose incident to occur. 10. Gene provides the music for the wedding but I'm having trouble deciding who will sing. For me, it's between Linda, Gayle, Courtney, or Daryl. 11. Zeke takes Tina's last name which represents to Tina that when Zeke first said "he was going to get her" it wasn't to "win her" as if she was an easy trophy but that he was determined enough to do whatever it takes to earn her love no matter how unlikely. 12. Susmita did the best she could juggling being a bridesmaid and wedding photographer. Tina and Zeke appreciate her pictures regardless since they know that she's not an official wedding photographer, she's just really good at taking pictures. Get what you pay for and all that jazz. 13. Zeke and Tina spend their honeymoon sailing and then being marooned on Quippiquisset Island because of boat troubles (and for real this time, for the sake of comedic/dramatic irony. I got the idea from vaguely remembering season 6, episode 1 of the Nanny.). Don't worry the rest of the Belcher family gets the 2 off the island eventually. XD
14. They had lobster at the wedding as well as burgers. Couldn't not let Tina have her fantasy lobster wedding feast. XD Bob wasn't particularly pleased by it but he let it go because it was what Tina wanted in the end. As long as Bob, Gene, or anyone else allergic doesn't eat any of the lobster it should be fine. What the heck, Zeke gets his braised lamb shank too. lol 15. Tina's wedding bouquet would comprise of white gardenias, red roses, and lavenders.
I think 15 is a good number to stop at. Hope you enjoy the headcanons and that it gives you inspiration for later.
Craig Bartlett will be having an Ask Me Anything on April 2nd at 3 e/t on reddit!!
I’m getting flashbacks of Sagwa the Chinese cat from this. It’s so cute!

In light of the latest episode of Bob's Burgers. I decided to share my headcanons for my fan children of the Belcher siblings. It's a work in progress, so keep that in mind.
Louise:
I personally don't see her having children of her own. Especially since the only time she said she would have children was to feed them to an albino polar bear. However, I do see as she grows, matures, and takes over her dad's restaurant, I see her becoming a foster parent. She will be inspired by the fact that Bob lost his mother 11 to 13 (his mom passed away 33 years ago and Bob is 44 to 46) and she wants to help troubled kids have a stable home life like she had as long as she's able to. I, unfortunately, don't have any foster children ocs in mind yet. Hopefully, I'll figure it out eventually. I do see Rudy being a foster parent with Louise though whether as platonic friend and roommate or officially married. Gene:
I also don't see them ever having kids either. They rather be the fun aunty uncle (this is the best I got for a gender-neutral term for aunt/uncle, feel free to make suggestions for something better. At the very least Gene might like it because it's funny) or a kid game show host than ever be responsible for their own children. (Also I'm going with the common headcanon that Gene is genderfluid. I don't see them being strict with pronouns but I'm still going by they/them just in case)
Tina:
She would be the only one of the siblings to have biological children. She would be married to Zeke and both would be for having children. Zeke would be all for having a big family, his only caveat would be to not wait too long for siblings because he wouldn't want his kids to go through the same lonely sibling age gap problem he went through (him having a half brother that's 31 years older than him and a stepbrother that 13 years younger than him. The only relative he has that's close to his age would be his cousin Leslie and even then he's at the lowest, 3 years older than him). Tina, however, would originally not want to go too fast in adding siblings because she knows how much of a handful it is from seeing her parents having a child every 2 years 3 times, counting herself.
Life had different plans though and she wouldn't change a thing about it.
Daniel “Dani” Bob Belcher:
He’s this little guy
First born son of Zeke and Tina. He has his dad’s extroversion and optimistic attitude. Meanwhile, He inherited his mom’s creativity and bad vision. As a teenager, he is cursed with being nuts for butts and a goob for boob. Though he’s demiromantic, so while he definitely finds many people attractive, he doesn’t pursue any of them romantically until he realizes he has formed a deep connection of friendship with them. He is extra with his love confessions though and has no shame which can lead to the downfall of many potential romantic relationships because he loves giving his all too fast and too hard. Sometimes his confessions could end friendships he thought he had a deep connection with too because they simply didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. Daniel doesn’t fret about it because he follows the “if you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve at my best” motto. He will always have his family and his true friends will always stick by him and that’s good enough for him.
He’s terrible at wrestling but that doesn’t stop him from trying to surprise pounce on his dad. He’s better at writing songs and coming up with crazy, fun ideas to try. He doesn’t intentionally try to do stuff that will get him in trouble, but his creativity just makes him a trouble magnet. He’s not the brightest but his heart is always in the right place.
His main colors are yellow and green.
( His personality type for reference - ENFP 7w6)
Jeffrey “Jeff” Griffin Belcher (Is he named after Tina’s ex-ghost box boyfriend or her body pillow? I’ll never tell! XD)
Second born son by around a 1 year and a half (though it’s rounded out to 2 anyway since he wasn’t born in the same year as his older brother). He has his mother’s monotone introversion as well as creativity and his dad’s love of chaos. He’s not the most sociable and much rather spend his time alone playing video games, making blueprints, and testing out his blueprints. He loves his family though and is a momma’s boy even if he would rather die than admit it. When he’s not doing his own thing, he’s helping his brother behind the scenes with any crazy idea Daniel comes up with. He doesn’t care if it’s a good idea or a bad idea, he’s just along for the ride and eager to see how it ends. He’s completely ace and aro, so he’s not interested in dating like Daniel when he is a teenager, period.
While he has plenty of ideas to cause chaos at the school, he’s also very lazy so he mostly goes along with Daniel and is never the leader of any scheme by choice.
He’s not a super genius but he is the brightest of his siblings, he just lacks motivation. When he’s old enough, he wears contacts because he hates how he looks in his glasses. He doesn’t like the idea of completely fitting into the stereotypical nerd mold especially since his personality already fits the mold.
His main colors are grayish-blue and brown.
( His personality type for reference - INTP 5w4)
Lily Cherylinda Belcher (Yes Tina and Zeke pulled a Renesmee for Lily’s middle name. Just be glad it’s just the middle name XD)
Last born child, firstborn daughter of Tina and Zeke. She’s 4 years younger than Jeff and 6 years younger than Daniel (Tina and Zeke were originally going to stop at 2 but life happened and they decided to see what fate had in store). She has the protective nature of both her parents, Tina’s goody-two-shoes nature, and Zeke’s knack for cooking (not his perfect palette though, that belongs to Jeff much to her disbelief since she knows what he wastes his tastebuds on) Despite being the youngest, she is the most responsible out of her siblings and most of the time tags along simply to protect her brothers and try to stop things from getting too terrible.
She also tries to use her cuteness to try to help them get a lighter sentence after the metaphorical (sometimes literal) smoke clears. She loves reading about/watching romance but seldom partakes in it herself when she’s of age. She’s too timid and uses schoolwork and helping out her family as an excuse for why she’s too busy for crushes.
She’s unapologetically a daddy’s girl and is eager to help in the kitchen when she can. Since she doesn’t have a perfect palette, she treats recipes like religious texts and doesn’t dare try to add anything outside the recipe. Aside from cooking, she loves gardening as well, especially planting pretty flowers.
Out of all the siblings, she is the best candidate to take over Bob’s Burgers after Louise. However, if Lily decides to take over in the future is still up in the air.
Her main colors are pink and purple. She wears an adorable panda hat that her grandma Linda made for her, similar to Louise’s bunny ears. (Something like this https://akiseohats.com/products/spring-panda-bear-fleece-hat (( the pink and white one, though I might do light pink on darker pink instead)))
( Her personality type for reference - ISFJ 9w8)
Anyway, that’s all that I have so far. I definitely left some questions unanswered though. For example, I never said who loved horses and zombies among the siblings. XD
Maybe I’ll elaborate when I actually design them, for now, though this is all I got.
“Homely and the Dunce”
I'll let you decide which is which. I was originally going to start off with a canon HA! ship image, but I really wanted to draw Debora. So you get her and the rare character of Edmund made. I kind of like the hairstyle I've given 16-year-old Edmund, it almost makes him semi-decent looking. However, it could be just because I chose him to do him in a side profile and not do his less than appealing 3/4 angle. I'm being too mean to Edmund though. There are worse looking fifth graders than Edmund, at least in my opinion. Anyway, here's some context for this image. So basically it's a day or two after their first introduction to each other. In between that time Debby has convinced herself that Edmund didn't really mean it when he said he'll see her later or something along the lines of that. She assumed that he was saying the thing everybody says but doesn't really mean and Edmund won't ever pay her any mind ever again. On one hand, it saddened her, but on the other hand, she figured it was probably for the best because at least she didn't have the pressure of keeping a friendship that barely started. low and behold on Monday, Edmund doesn't waste his time on going up to casually say hi to his new friend. At that instant, Debora is a flurry of mixed emotions. Mostly it's internal screaming and contemplating whether to lock herself in the bathroom before she does or says something stupid. Unfortunately, it's too late for she already performed her world famous, super forced, obviously fake smile in her attempt to act "normal". The poor boy has no idea what he has gotten himself into.

This made my day! You did such a good job DT. I don't really have much more to add except thank you again and I hope you enjoy the rest of SMSW. I'm looking forward to what comes next.
I don't have an OC so I thought it might be neat to draw some gifts? Willow for @dreamboundedstar and Alexis for @goldendoodlerlockerlove ♥️♥️♥️
Thank y'all for sharing with me your 300 page essays of these dorks, I hope you like these!!
@seemoreseymoursbay
Ok ok ok
So
I know I'm a huntlow blog at heart, but, Zeke and Tina from bobs burgers have begun to rot my brain to the point where I wrote a fic for them faster than I ever have for literally any other pairing.
I'm actually kinda proud of this too, it was so much fun to work on!
Just a she/her that loves animation, creating characters, and shipping a lot. Commissions are closed, sorry.
