Tina: Jimmy Jr is too tall for me to kiss him on the lips. What should I do?

Louise: Punch him in the stomach. Then, when he doubles over in pain, kiss him.

Zeke: Tackle him!

Jocelyn: Dump him!

Gene: Kick him in the shin!

Jimmy Jr: No to all of those! Just ask me to lean down!!

SPOILERS AHEAD

Saw this in Wendy Molyneux instagram

WHAT- WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN HERE? WHY IS ZEKE HOLDING A ROSE AND SEEMING CONFLICTED? BOTH TINA AND J-JU BEHIND HIM?!

[dianadeadwing]

I forgot wip Wednesday! I always try to do it because I have literally hundreds of wips and will never be able to get to all of them. This was an attempt last week at drawing Tina with her boys. I did several sketches like this and Zeke never turned out right. I think I need to fix the shape of his jaw. This is my number one ship for Tina so I want to draw something for it!

In my defense, for forgetting what day it was, I bought Baldur’s Gate 3 and am neurodivergent so you can probably guess how that went.

when this is all over (tinimmy week) im going to write a fanfic where jimmy junior is jealous bcuz tina is having fun and generally being friendly with sasha (who is gay) and he thinks that she's into him when she is Extremely Not. i promise u someday soon it will happen

[eeclare]

YES he’s so in love with her i am waitingggg for it to slowly become reciprocated —

that can be seen slowly starting to happen already in some of Tina’s more recent-ish fantasies

examples - idk the episode names off the top of my head (sorry!) but Tina is seen to have a fantasy sequence where she’s famous (of course) and zeke and jimmy are fighting over who gets to propose to/marry her!! This is definitely the writers hinting that her feelings towards zeke (even platonically) are starting to change, and the sequence itself is reminiscent of The Oeder Games where they’re “fighting” over her!! so i def think ur right when you say that this was a pivotal turning point in how Tina sees/feels about Zeke

the other example that comes to mind is where Tina writes in her diary about Zeke and Jimmy-J switching heads in her dreams, and both she and Gene and Louise imply that it’s a recurring thing that’s been happening! (her feelings for Zeke are def changing at this point in the series)

— and slightly off topic but how cute is it that Tina wanted so desperately to be called “Teagle” and zeke calls her “T-bird” 😭 i know he called her that way before the cabin field trip episode but i just think it’s so sweet

and lastly to add on to what you were saying abt the example from The Oeder Games… not only does zeke tell Tina he’s up to his butt with how much he likes her but he also plans out such a good date for them and idkkk it didn’t entirely seem like he pulled it out of his ass like J-ju lool

LIKE he wants to take her to the aquarium, which we can see in the Aquaticism (is that how u spell it, idk) episode that the aquarium is one of Tina’s fav places to go and idk about you but i think Zeke was paying attention somehow 🙈🙈

I've been thinking a lot about Zekina lately (shocker, I know) and @theangrypomeranian has me noticing just how often Zeke and Tina really interact throughout the show, specifically in terms of physical proximity.

But beyond that, there are so many amazing examples and moments where Zeke is truly just DOWN BAD for Tina and willing to do anything for her.

While we have the classic examples of The Mad Pooper and Mid-Day Run, there are a lot of other moments where Zeke shows how much he likes Tina!

For example, in Teen-a Witch (S7 Ep 3), when Tina notes that she feels Jimmy Jr likely responded to her new attitude and chocker necklace, while J-Ju doesn't seem convinced (even stating "eh, idk") Zeke interjects that he liked her new look and confidence.

Similarly, in The Landship (S6 Ep 2), we see Zeke tell Tina that she has a spicy and a not spicy side and that he likes both sides of her. He also at the start of this episode is the one to encourage her to "get some spice in ya girl!" and to let loose a bit. I think this just shows that while he is supportive of whatever side Tina has to give, he is also willing to encourage her to have fun and be more in tune with herself.

Throughout the show, we also see multiple instances where Zeke is an enthusiastic participant in the Belcher Sibling Shenanigans, like in The Kids Run the Restaurant (S3 Ep 20), Stand By Gene (S6 Ep 12) and Stuck in the Kitchen With You (S12 Ep 8). There are plenty of other good examples of this, but they all demonstrate that not only is Zeke accepting and supportive of Tina, but he is willing to collaborate with her and her siblings and finds fun in their mischief.

For us as an audience, I think a real turning point for Tina going from hating Zeke to beginning to see him grow on her as a friend is seen in The Oeder Games (S5 Ep 21), where Zeke famously tells Tina that he's "up to his butt" in how much he likes her and the J-Ju takes her for granted.

This moment really pushes us as an audience into a new perspective where we begin to see this trio in new lights. As the series continues, we see Zeke and Tina continue to develop a growing friendship, albeit slowly, through moments like The Taking of Funtime One Two Three (S9 Ep 2) where we see Tina seek Zeke out for his skills and see J-Ju as an afterthought to the situation.

There seems to just be a slow and steady building of Zeke growing on Tina and their friendship slowly coming together, and I love to see how throughout it all, Zeke never wavers in his care and support for her. He's just patiently waiting in the wings, but also doesn't seem to feel that being her friend is settling in any way. He just likes her and likes spending time with her however she will let him.

There are a ton of other examples I could give, but I think it just goes to show there are those little strings and pieces of them throughout the show if you are really looking for them.

If you have time:

Zekina - timeless

A/n hope you like it!! This took me so long and it was so worth it!!

It was in 6th grade the Zeke fell in love with Tina. He was new, and scared out of his goddamn mind about a new school (again) and just wanted to fit in. Being a hall monitor (as she proudly told him) she gave him a tour around wagstaff, looking after him the whole day, she was very attentive the entire day. She introduced him to Jimmy Junior and both her siblings, and spent the whole day being sweet and kind in a way he didn’t experience before. Other schools never bothered showing him around with any kind of dedication, knowing that he could be moving again any time soon, but even when Zeke tried to insist it was necessary because of this, Tina just brushed him off, telling him how much she enjoyed her hall monitor duties and proceeded to what he still refers to as the best tour ever.

In 8th grade things got increasingly complicated and he squashed his feelings down deep. After her birthday party, he got an excited call from Jimmy Junior about his first ever kiss. With Tina Belcher. He could tell how happy J-Ju was about it, and he was never the type to go after his best mate’s girl, so he tried to forget it. Unfortunately it wasn’t that easy.

The mad pooper incident? He didn’t like to talk about it, but everyone remembers that. Then there was the day of his Grandmother’s surgery. He swears he’s never loved her more than that moment. So much so he practically confessed it, by telling her how determined he is for them to be married. Then the science fair incident. Not his first kiss (to his disappointment) but definitely the best kiss he had had so far in his life. He spent many years thinking about that kiss. Asking himself so many questions. Why had she kissed him? Him of all people? Yes she’d kissed J-Ju as well, but she hadn’t kissed anyone else. Did it mean something?

It wasn’t until a couple years into high school that Tina saw Zeke differently. She had decided she finally has enough of the on and off again relationship with Jimmy Junior and broke up with him for the last time, making that point very clear to him. After that she lost some friends, realising they only hung out with her because of Jimmy Junior. Some of them she was glad to be gone, the likes of Tammy and Jocelyn, but others she missed. And honestly? She missed being friends with Jimmy Junior. It was weird.

But one day her science teacher paired her up with Zeke, and she felt awful. Her mind was riddled with thoughts of regret and humiliation. Knowing he was friends with Jimmy Junior and hating that he was put into this position. But she played nice and invited him to her house to do the work.

They sat down on her bedroom floor with various pieces of paper and stationary surrounding them, an awkward silence filling the air.

“Okay look I’m just gonna say it now so it’s out there otherwise I’m not going to be able to think about anything else. I’m so sorry that you got paired with me, I know I’m the last person you want to work with. I-if we separate the work out to things we have to do then we don’t even really have to work together and I can just put it all together at the last minute and you’ll never have to speak to me again! And then you won’t have to deal with me.” She blurts out in one breath, desperately avoiding eye contact with him.

He’s just confused. “You- what? Why wouldn’t I want to be around you?!” He looks at her in shock, having spent the last few months missing her like hell.

“Because Jimmy Junior’s your best friend. And I broke up with him. And I’m… horrible?” She whispers the last part out, not entirely sure she’s getting her point across.

He sighs and brings a hand to his face, trying to rub the worry out of his features. “T-bird, you’re not horrible. And yeah J-Ju’s my best friend, but he wasn’t good to you. I don’t know why, he doesn’t like to talk about it, but the point is that’s not your fault. You deserve better, I don’t blame you for breaking up with him.” He admits, desperate to show her that he wants to be friends again.

But that just confuses Tina more, “Then why did you stop talking to me?”

“I thought you didn’t want to talk to me! I mean come on girl I let it happen! I watched him treat you like garbage and I didn’t do anything!” He looks away from her. “I couldn’t blame you for not wanting to hang around me anymore.”

Tina blinks. And blinks again. And just for good measure, to make sure she had really processed what he’s just said to her, she blinks once more. “So we both blamed ourselves but wanted to keep hanging out?” She asks slowly, still wrapping her head around the new information herself. He looks up at her and she can’t read his face for a moment. But then he laughs. And it’s the most beautiful, kind, relieved laugh she has ever heard. She starts laughing too, just as relieved.

When they calm down they look at each other just smiling for a small moment before Zeke finally speaks again, “So… friends again? I’ve missed you T-bird. It’s not the same without you.” He says and she blushes, feeling incredibly embarrassed and confused as to why she does, but she nods, and sees as even more relief fills his eyes and watches how his entire body relaxes.

Eventually they manage to start some work, after a long overdue catch up on each other’s lives. It’s one of Tina’s favourite days to think back to.

Much to both of their strain, they don’t do anything about their obvious-to-everyone-but-themselves crushes on each other for another year. Tina’s affections for Zeke grow stronger and stronger every day and she finds herself quickly falling harder than she ever did for any of her other boy obsessions in the past. Certainly more than Jimmy Junior.

And Zeke, well he’s as whipped as day 1. He spends every moment he can with her, helping her with school work, taking her to the movies any time she mentions a film she wants to watch, taking her to the aquarium after school at least once a week, driving her to and from school.

Jimmy Junior can’t even find himself to be upset at the fact that Zeke spent so much time with her than him, not once he’d finally seen them interact in person, and watched how much genuine love and affection was in his best friends eyes when looking at her. And seeing how much more love was in Tina’s eyes than he had ever seen, it stung a little but he couldn’t help but smile and tell Tammy to shut up when she tried to make a comment.

Thanks to this Tina and Jimmy Junior even managed to find a way to feel comfortable around each other again, even feeling like friends for the first time in a long time.

They finally made it official when Zeke got offered a scholarship at one of the best culinary schools in the state. He had made it! He was able to go to his dream school and he finally had a chance to make his dreams come true.

To absolutely no-one’s surprise, the first thing he did when he found it was race to Tina’s house. She opened the door and tackled him into the tightest hug she could, the moment he told her the news. “I’m so proud of you Zeke. You did it!!” She breathed out, squeezing him impossibly tighter.

He pulls back slightly to look her in her eyes, his big grin fading into something softer when he could see how happy she was for him. “T, I-” He begins but she cuts him off, a surge of bravery coursing through her as she presses her lips against his in a searing kiss. She desperately tried to pour every emotion, every word she had tried to say so many times, into this one act of affection. Zeke felt it all and took everything she was giving him with no hesitation. They both felt as though they were drowning. Forgetting everything else in the world around them but each other.

When they finally come up for air they just look at each other, their breaths mixing with each other in an almost suffocating but enticing way. “I love you Zeke.” She whispers, watching his face grow into an even happier grin than when he first arrived, before he whispers back the same thing, softer and more heartfelt than anything she imagined in her dreams.

They kiss again, with even more passion and if Jimmy Junior feels himself tearing up a little from his position in his restaurant, he certainly won’t tell them that.

When they both go off to college they’re sad to not be as close, but they call every day, text basically 24/7 and they visit each other as often as they can. Neither of them have a moment of doubt through it all. They talk about the future a lot, their from their greatest ambitions to the small moments they’re looking forward to.

Tina starts looking at houses and dreaming of sharing it with him every day. Her writing improves tenfold thanks to how head over heels in love she is, and she takes inspiration from her devoted boyfriend to stream it into every piece of work she does.

The next big moment in their lives is when they both graduate. Zeke graduates with an offer to work at an extremely high end restaurant- thanks to many glowing reviews from professors, and Tina graduates with an offer to publish a book of hers, they couldn’t be more happy with their lives. Especially once they find an apartment for them to live in together. They truly make the place their own and they’re favourite parts of the day are waking up in each others arms, and when Zeke comes home from work and they can see each other again.

After a year of living together, Zeke proposes. He prepares Tina’s favourite meal, lights her favourite scented candles, wears a suit, buys her a new dress, and plays her favourite songs. Just them. In their first home. Years after Tina fell in love with him, and even longer after Zeke fell in love with him. He tries to do a whole speech, but he splutters as tears fill his eyes and his voice breaks. Tina cries too. At first she can’t get the words out, nodding furiously, until she’s finally able to squeak out a small, “yes”, and Zeke slides the ring onto her finger.

10 months later they both cry again as they desperately try to get their wedding vows out. There isn’t a single dry in the house then either. Even louise doesn’t bother hiding it.

2 years later, Tina gives birth to 2 beautiful girls. Zeke says she has never looked as beautiful as when she held those girls in her arms for the first time. There are tears in everyone’s eyes then as well.

Zeke is the best girl dad ever. His entire life is devoted to his girls, and he is not afraid for everyone to know it. He makes sure that all of his girls always feel how strongly and ferociously he loves them all, and how much he would sacrifice for them all if it would just make them smile.

At 89 years old Zeke goes to bed, lying next to his adoring wife, and passes away in his sleep. When Tina calls the ambulance, almost hysterically, they tell her that she died with no pain and in peace. She cries more then, than she ever has before. Their children cry when they hear the news, and so do their grandchildren. Their great-grandchildren don’t quite understand but they cry as well.

His funeral is filled with nothing but loving stories from everyone who ever knew him.

6 months later and it’s Tina’s turn. She swears she can feel it coming that day, and wonders if he knew too. Thinking back to that day. She’s convinced he hugged her just that little bit tighter, loved her that little bit louder. And maybe he didn’t but spending her last day thinking about every beautiful moment spent with her love is exactly what she wants to be doing.

Her death is peaceful and painless. There’s even a small smile on her face as she closes her eyes and lets sleep consume her one last time

One of my absolute favorite kinds of fanart is fanart of fanart. I used to be more active in the "Sailor Moon" fandom and it was always such a treat to see a friend recreate another friend's art style or characters or designs. I found such incredible joy in recreating my friends' ideas and I was over the moon when anyone recreate mine. This is a really beautiful way that fandom gives and gives. I'm so happy to see it in the "Bob's Burgers" fandom as the process is not only just really genuinely kind but it gives me nostalgia for when I drew more. It's like fandom telephone except the telephone is love giving love giving love.

fanart for @drawthething’s older belcher + cool kids designs!!

[yoshimickster]

I feel Tina's friend group is written VASTLY better than they were in early seasons, hell in the season finale Tammy gives Jocelyn AND Tina the lowdown on the current party, plus she tried to dance with Tina to, it seems like they're actually friends now.

Jimmy Junior has also steadily improved as the show went on, early on the writers played him off as a sort of pseudo-lothario type barely ever caring about Tina, nowadays he's written more as just a dumb teenager who doesn't know how to act and that works way better.

Zeke is perfect, and has been perfect pretty much since the beginning.

Jocelyn is...there though, she could use more development admittedly.

I'd also be down for Tina to hang out with Susmita more, they had good friendship chemistry.

[dianadeadwing]

The color version of Zeke and Tina dancing. I imagine neither of them are Jimmy Junior level interested in dancing. Tina just thinks it’s romantic and Zeke loves to express himself physically, so them as a couple would like to dance together just not necessarily well.

[ID:

Digital fan art of Tina and Zeke from Bob’s Burgers. Tina faces away with her head over Zeke’s shoulder. One of her hands is hidden and presumably on Zeke shoulder while the other is clasped in Zeke’s hand. Zeke has the hand not holding Tina’s wrapped around her waist. Zeke’s face is visible with a small contented smile. The background is a peach colored square.

And after everything is over they end up agreeing to part ways for the better

Zeke wants to go to culinary school, of course, and Tina still needs to find a not-mafia job

But they both keep thinking about each other

And of course Zeke ends up coming back and confessing

Maybe he just starts working in the restaurant and they meet again when Tina visits her parents

And they're both just staring at each other like yeah–that's my person

I'm not letting them get away a second time

Started reading a new webcomic last night and now I have Mafia au Zekina stuck in my head

[br1ghtestlight]

i like that in the one (1) season thirteen episode zeke is actually in tina seems a lot more mature abt him and isnt passive aggressive or mean, like they're actually friends and shes like "hey zeke :) isnt this exciting" instead of getting angry at him for stealing jimmy junior's attention. maybe that season finale where he almost got sent away to a behavioural school and jimmy junior was upset fixed her idk
