Bob's Burgers Random Facts

I love this show, so here are some random facts about it that I've discovered and want to share. Some are fairly obvious/well-known, but I also wanted to add some more obscure things as well. I might make a part two, but not sure yet:

--Linda's maiden name is Genarro! This was revealed in Season 12, Episode 20 "Sauce Side Story", where it's also revealed that Linda's family has a crazy feud going on

--Gene's favorite keyboard was a Christmas gift from Bob and Linda (as seen in Season 5, Episode 17 "The Itty Bitty Ditty Committee"), which he immediately fell in love with, which is adorable. I like to believe this being a gift from them made it that much more special to him

--It's never outright stated, but heavily implied that Bob has Hemophilia, because in Season 3, Episode 20 "The Kids Run the Restaurant", Linda states that Bob bleeds a lot if he injures himself and his body has a lot of trouble clotting. This episode also reveals he gets light-headed at the sight of blood

--The Belchers live in the state of New Jersey! This is revealed in Season 3, Episode 18 "It Snakes a Village". A cute little map is shown, featuring the Belcher's car, which is clearly seen in New Jersey

--In Season 6, Episode 6 "The Cook, The Steve, The Gayle, & Her Lover", Tina sings a bunch of random Spanish phrases which Louise translates very inaccurately, in an effort to break up Gayle and Mr. Frond. And apparently, in the Spanish dub (yes, this exists), Tina sings these random phrases in English instead, and it's hilarious

--Bob and Gene are both allergic to shellfish (which is probably why Bob hates Lobster Fest), and apparently, on Bob and Linda's first date, Bob got an allergic reaction to some shellfish. However, Linda somehow remained unaware of it the entire time, and to this day, still doesn't know he has a shellfish allergy despite him telling her about it multiple times. I personally like to believe she still took care of him after it happened, she just didn't know what was going on

--According to Gene in Season 6, Episode 13 "Wag the Hog", Bob isn't a fan of cilantro

--One small, funny thing I noticed is that both Bob and Linda's previous lovers before they met each other were blonde (Barbara Bunkley and Hugo Habercore, respectively)

--In Season 6, Episode 1, "Sliding Bobs", in Tina's story about an alternate universe in which Linda and Hugo actually got married and Bob becomes the Health Inspector, Bob mentions offhandedly that he tried renting out the building where "Hugo's Hot Dogs" is twenty years ago, implying that Bob and Linda have owned "Bob's Burgers" for around twenty years

--Not only has Bob forgotten his own birthday on one occasion, as seen in Season 1, Episode 1 "Human Flesh", but Linda has accidentally forgotten his birthday as well, as seen in Season 8, Episode 16, "Are You There, Bob? It's Me, Birthday". It seems on occasion Linda isn't great with dates, either

--As seen in a framed photo in Bob and Linda's bedroom, they actually got married at City Hall, and boy, do they look adorably happy in that wedding photo. I like to think that even though they canonically still had to work at the restaurant that day for money reasons, they still had a really nice wedding with cake and wholesome/tear-jerking vows

--According to Season 10, Episode 1 "The Ring (But Not Scary)", Bob, unfortunately, couldn't afford to get Linda a ring when he proposed to her, and instead gave her a nice high-five to make up for that. Also, in the episode, it's shown he's come a long way from "Human Flesh" by actually remembering their wedding anniversary and getting her a ring (I know she doesn't mind not having one, but it's too bad she still was never able to get it, thanks to it getting lost)

--In Season 8, Episode 13 "Cheer Up Sleepy Gene", it's revealed Bob and Linda both snore quite loud, and it's actually comforting to them both in a weird way and helps them sleep. Not only that, but they find other quirks of theirs comforting, as seen in Season 12, Episode 15, "Ancient Misbehavin'" when Bob admits he misses hearing Linda talking "emphatically" in her sleep. Even better, actual studies have shown that if you sleep in the same bed as your partner, it improves your sleep, even if they snore

--In Season 11, Episode 21, "Die Card, or Card Trying", it's revealed that Louise has been making the same "serial killer" smiling face in their family photos since she was really young, and it's really a sight to behold

--In the "Bob's Burgers Movie", it's revealed that Felix Fischoeder has a framed photo of his brother, Calvin, in his bedroom, which is surprisingly wholesome

--In Season 12, Episode 1 "Manic Pixie Crap Show", it's unfortunately revealed that Linda, when she was young, got incredibly attached to a neighborhood stray dog named Bottlecap (who got the name because he could balance bottlecaps on his nose) only to witness him getting run over by a hot dog truck. Apparently, she also witnessed her eighth-grade teacher get run over by a truck. Jesus, poor Linda ): It's implied this is a reason why the Belchers have never had a family pet before, besides being poor

--When Linda was young, she wore a pair of braces, though it's never stated how she felt about them

--According to Season 3, Episode 12 "Broadcast Wagstaff School News", Bob looked almost identical to Gene when he was young, which Gene is originally not happy about, but grows to accept. I like to think he'll look like Bob when he's older, even though that's one of the things he was worried about in the episode

--According to Season 3, Episode 14 "Lindapendent Woman", Linda actually has a really complex monetary system for the restaurant's finances, which keeps the family from being in too much debt. It's so complicated that Bob can't figure out how to do it himself once she temporarily leaves her job at the restaurant for another job, proving why she needs him around, besides the fact that he loves her and loves seeing her every day

--In Season 5, Episode 17, "The Itty Bitty Ditty Committee", it's revealed that Gene actually only knows how to play one chord, and isn't experienced musically in the slightest, struggling to get through doing scales a bunch of times when he briefly takes piano lessons. He even calls scales "gross". However, as seen in Season 3, Episode 16 "Topsy", he is still able to create amazing, Broadway-worthy musical numbers when he wants to despite this.

--As of Season 13, Bob and Linda officially have actual smartphones, because they had to upgrade after Grover Fischoeder threw their old phones in the ocean in the "Bob's Burgers Movie". Kind of ironic, considering in the two-part Season 4 finale, Calvin laments about how Bob hadn't purchased "a better cellphone". It's shown in Episode 11, "Cheaty Cheaty Bang Bang", that Bob is still struggling quite a bit with using his.

--According to Season 11, Episode 2 "Worms of In-Rear-Ment", Linda has always wanted to be a mother, ever since she was young. Despite her worries about how she's doing as a parent, I think she's doing pretty great

--Apparently, (as seen in Part One of the Season 4 Finale, "Wharf Horse") Linda told Bob she was pregnant with Louise on top of the Ferris Wheel in Wonder Wharf, and he "just kept screaming". They also share a sweet kiss in the same spot in Season 1, Episode 1 "Human Flesh", so that place is pretty significant for them. It makes me wonder how she told Bob she was pregnant with Tina and Gene

--According to Tina in the "Bob's Burgers Movie", she doesn't actually own her own phone despite being a teenager, and it gets "harder to explain every year". Hopefully one day she can get one

--According to Louise in Season 3, Episode 22 "Carpe Museum", not only is Louise secretly a huge daddy's girl, but she also truly believes Tina and Gene will stick Bob in a nursing home one day, and "not one of the nice ones"

That's all for now but hopefully, I'll make a part two if I can think of enough fun facts that I missed!

[fluffypotatey]

Bob would get really excited at the wedding at realizing it means Hugo will move countries. Pigsy would be upset at Hugo being his permanent health inspector (these last few months truly has felt like years), but he wouldn't stop the wedding. He wouldn't quiet his complaints though

Bob unintentionally driving the knife in more and then Teddy doing the same being like "Bob, didn't you say he was [insert insult/frustrated bob comment here] and [some more bad/negative reviews of Hugo here]?"

Bob, completely mortified and exhausted like "no. no Teddy, you know what, how about we change the subject"

[luxlightly]

Seriously though can we talk about how well that episode of Bob's Burgers handled the issue of Teddy's hording?

It's never portrayed as dirty, disgusting, or shameful. While pushy and somewhat judgemental, we never see Linda, Bob, or even the kids looking down on Teddy because of his hording. The kids rib him but they do that about everything. His house isn't dirty. He keeps it in good shape. He's not shown as being a slob or out of control. Teddy is gross but the show clearly goes out of its way to make sure his hording is not seen as being one of his gross traits or habits. As Linda says later, he's not hurting anyone with his hording. He has it mostly under control in terms of the amount of space it takes up in his house. He doesn't have a dining room, but he never hosts so he's never needed it for something other than storage. It's okay that, for him, that's what that room is for. It also clearly goes out of its way to show that, while the Belchers clearly really do want to help, what they are doing is not helping. It's causing Teddy undue distress and discomfort. It's portrayed pretty clearly that they are going about this the wrong way. We're never supposed to feel as though Teddy is the one in the wrong or being unreasonable. His distress is not trivialized nor is Linda's attempts to force him to get rid of his things all at once glorified. Linda truly does want to help him, she just misunderstands what his issue is. She thinks he hordes things because he thinks they could later be useful so she tries to help by forcing him to get rid of things that are clearly broken beyond the point of reasonable repair. She realizes later that he keeps them because they are broken. Because he wants to feel he can fix them. Because he believes broken things, such as himself, deserve to have a chance to be fixed. To be cared for and loved and not discarded just because they're damaged. I appreciate so much that the moral of the episode wasn't Teddy realizing he just needed to throw away his things. It was Linda realizing she'd handled the situation entirely wrong. That this would not help and would in fact hurt Teddy. These issues need to be worked through slowly and carefully and with support, not a feeling of judgement. The growth of the episode is not in tossing away his things, but in bringing them back in and how they do that. Teddy panics, when his "storage room" of a dining room is discovered and all the things inside taken out because it was all "put away and now it's out and it's everywhere". Clearly this reflects his feelings about his own issues. He was ashamed and hid them away, then had someone he trusted violate his privacy and his trust to reveal them all at once and try to force him to discard all of his emotional coping methods. He wants to put his issues away so that people don't see him as a broken thing they want to be rid of and trying to force him to deal with all of his deep seated issues at once like that caused him, quite understandably, to panic. The end of the episode shows Teddy's growth not in the discarding of his horded items, but instead in the fact that he keeps some of them outside of the storage rooms, in clear view of his friends who understand and don't judge him for it. If hiding his horded items represents his desire to hide away his own issues and never deal with them, then we can see at the end of the episode how he feels safe to have those issues seen by his friends. He trusts them with his emotional baggage and he's accepting it in himself. It shows him moving forward in his journey of dealing with the issues that cause the hording. Someday he may be able to let go of the horded items but for right now they're not hurting him or anyone else and we are shown that he is making progress. Not through shame or sacrifice. But through acceptance. And that's...a surprisingly wholesome and respectful depiction of a compulsive disorder in mainstream media.

How do you think Bob and Linda’s first meeting with their respective in-laws went?

ACTUALLY i was writing a fanfic about linda's first time meeting big bob!! i do want to finish that at some point bcuz its like 75% done and I think it's pretty interesting and has some parallels between bob/linda and big bob/lily

but basically bob and linda are (finally) going to meet big bob after like a year of dating bcuz bob has been putting it off thinking that if linda meets his family he'll realize how screwed up they are, or that big bob will say something horrible to her and she'll get offended and break up with bob etc but linda is optimistic that big bob will love her bcuz everyone loves her

bob mostly feels like big bob isn't putting any effort into their relationship or getting to know linda (he didnt even take the day off work and they had to go to big bob's diner WHILE HE WAS WORKING) and linda thinks big bob will love her and that they'll all be a big happy family and big bob and al will watch sports on the weekends or whatever. without going too much into the plot of the fanfic i would say linda's perspective is more accurate and big bob really does adore linda even of he's a little standoff-ish and rude. and he sees a lot of himself and lily's early relationship in linda and bob, comparing them and realizing that linda makes bob a better person in the way that lily did w/ him in pushing him to be more outgoing and friendly etc

for bob and linda's parents/gayle I think it probably went..... badly??? they're just pretty terrible abusive people i cant imagine they ever got along w/ him but he definitely tried to be polite and get along with them bcuz he knows how much family means to linda. I dont think gloria ever liked bob but i do think gayle actually DOES like him and prefers him to linda's previous boyfriends. like her relationship with hugo was a nightmare. bob doesn't like her much but she does enjoy his presence in her life :)

I know @goldendoodlerlockerlove wrote a fanfic based on the premise of bob meeting his in-laws for the first time(??)

Things that make me cry because I have daddy issues:

Beautiful Boy by John Lennon. Yes, I'm aware John Lennon was actually a really shitty dad, but the song just makes me think of what I wish my father would have done for me.

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. This was my favorite book as a child and I'm rereading it, mostly for the nostalgia. I reached a college reading level at age 9, so this book was already below my level when I was 7-9 (the lexile level for the book is 770L, and I was already 1300+L at age 9), but I honestly believe that a truly good book, no matter what your reading level is, will still be readable and enjoyable. The reason it evokes such emotion in me, I'm now realizing, is that it shows a family dynamic I wish I had had, as well as the abandonment I experienced. I won't say anymore, just read it or look it up if you want to know the plot. I'm not here to describe the whole thing.

Bob's Burgers. It shows the family dynamic I wish I had so badly. Bob and Linda also remind me of my parents and I just see them being better parents and it makes me think "why couldn't they have been like that?" My father had a deprived childhood and issues with his father, just like Bob did, but Bob does better. I can't stop asking myself, "why can't my father do better like Bob does?"

[troglobite]

bc of circumstances we (mostly i) ended up watching like 4 hours of bob's burgers straight and the thing i realized we really love abt the show

is the sincerity

like each of them desperately love and desperately hate various things and have like ZERO shame about ANY of it. and the other members of the family love each other and support their passions.

and i love that

there's zero shame abt the fact that bob LOVES CAKE (the show based around patty/paddy cake, their spoof of STOMP)

or tina and horses, zombies, fanfic/friendfic, and boys and their butts. or louise and kuchi kopi & that universe, or booboo.

their shared interests, too. w that whole ep where louise & bob have a "burn unit" they do every night, mocking late night commercials. then gene & bob love those spaghetti westerns.

and linda with literally everything, including wine, singing to herself, chanting, finding her favorite stores to poop at, etc.

like it's just nice, bc then when they meet challenges or they hurt each other, the way they respond makes sense and also feels real and sweet. like it's not positive all the time (bob's manic hatred of jimmy pesto which is gone now that the character is lol) and it doesn't have to be. but the complete lack of "cringe" is great.

okay i'm done.

[dead-dog-dont-eat]

do you have headcanons for JUST Depressed Boyfriend (or Drew as you like to call him)?

mm-hmmm. Most of it is just gonna be repeat stuff from my previous post about guns 'n' sharks, but won't matter anyhow. Howeverrrrrr, there IS some new info ;) (btw, most of it is VERY self-indulgent cuz I love Depressed Boyfriend VERY much)

-As mentioned various times, my fanon given name for Depressed Boyfriend is Drew; I know the fanon gave him another name like Quint Corleone, but I didn't know of this up until later, but I'm keeping the name "Drew" because it fits him.

-He has two lesbians moms named Michelle and Dani--Michelle (she/her) is a cis woman while Dani (they/she) is a nonbinary trans woman, so Drew is their biological child. Michelle is a shortfin mako shark demon who grew up in Sloth while Dani is a blacktip reef shark demon who grew up in Envy. Michelle is bright and bubbly who owns her own flower shop while Dani is like Dorothy Zbornak from The Golden Girls and Dani is a CEO manager businesswoman. In fact, Drew's name is his trans mom's deadname to which she so happily let him have; joking mostly how giving her son her old name was the equivalent to "hand-me-downs".

-Has two sets of grandparents--Michelle's mom and dad that are QUITE similar to Al and Gloria from Bob's Burgers (aka Linda's parents), except Michelle's mom is twice more abrasive and unpleasant to be around with while Michelle's dad is half as absent-minded than Al. Michelle's mother will mainly complain and be harsh and overly-critical towards her own daughter and Drew himself (i.e., wish Michelle got married to a man instead of a woman, always talk about how he misses Drew being a girl, consistently nags, doesn't like Dani and Giancarlo and Stu much, etc). Because of this, Drew is more closely connected with his other grandparent, Dani's single father, who acts more like an ACTUAL grandparent than Michelle's mom.

-Cleo is his close/best friend--they met at the beginning of middle school when Drew was pre-transition and she always supported of her friend during it. She's also his wingwoman because she was the sole and main reason to how Drew, Stu and Giancarlo became a triad with her help.

-Grew up like a 90s/00s kid; additionally, he grew up like an e(mo)girl before realizing he was trans at 13

-Favorite shows/movies to watch are horror (like cannibalism, slasher, splatter, VERY gory and extreme), stuff from the 70s/80s/90s/00, cartoons, and crime-centric stuff like "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul"; favorite types of books to read are also horror and splatterpunk (including ones that are considered as "dead dove")

-Favorite music is mostly rock--like horrorcore, brutal metal, and goregrind/gorenoise, including "weird/creepy" music and electronic/EDM

-Scorpio, in Zodiac terms, birthday is October 30th

-trans and gay

-Is autistic and has AvPD

I'm introduction you, Bobs burger genderbender au "concept names" (nobody ask but I still do it and it only belcher family) (and I not really good at write)

Family picture:

The belcher family:

Robin "Bon" belcher jr: she is female version of bob and that it! Just like original an business woman who have some issues and a great mother. I still think about her name, my first concept her name is barbara "barba" but I want her name have different name for her, so I choose all names like Roberta, Rebecca,Bobbi, i think Rebecca is the fit name for her but the short nickname is Becky so...no i need to choose some names start ro and nicknames is b but I just realize that Linda away call bob is "bobby" so I think about bonny! And Robin is just a random names i choose it, because it have R,O,B.

Lind belcher: he male version of Linda just like Linda love kissing, sing, worry about kids doesn't care about him anymore and an alcoholic. He use to have a name is Lincoln because it have Lin and he is the one of characters i can't image the genderbender version, it kinda hard to choose between ugly regular or handsome and outfits, beard, name. His name just like (male) Louise is remove the last letter of name.

Taner belcher: is the male version of Tina, who obsession about erotic, boobs or butt and is a awkward teenager, oldest brother. He have kinda alot descriptions, taner name is tanner but I like call him like "tai-ner" so I fix his name into taner, he have the most different design in his family like the hair and outfit, he based from Daniel belcher that can explain the design of him, the name of him is the mix or inversion name of d(a)ni(e)l and (t)i(n)a, he doesn't look really same to Tina except the when he was a baby or young, i alway see all genderbender version of belcher Tina name alway Tony so i want to change it a little i wanna choose some different name for him and it's taner, taner sometime have eyelash and doesn't have, based from Tina have sometime have eyelash sometime(mostly) don't have. and have some descriptions about him but I forgot them anyway.

Eugenia "gena" belcher: female version of gene she just like gene a kid love music and make trouble with her little brother and make some annoying jokes to her mom(bon), middle sister. Gena have a name just her father(Lind) is the masculine/feminine names version, she and bon just similar to each other about appearance just it the only differen-... mostly different between them is personality and they interest about somethings, she is papa girl (get it?) She really love to close with her dad so I call her is Papa girl, just like original her relationship with her mom have a little stressful, gena is only characters doesn't have any changes in this au, in concept she use to call is "genia".

Louis belcher: is a male version of Louise still really same not change personality to tomboy into... tomgirl? A trouble maker in family, hate stickers, like scary things(except if it too realistic), little brother. He really easy to make an genderbender name Louise to Louis, he is mama boy he alway close with his mom they share each other somethings they have and play each other, he have changed the hair many time and I still find some hair in the hat fit to him, he doesn't hate Lind but they relationship just like gena and bon is kinda stressful, he sometime wear biggy pant or short (just like gena sometime wear dress sometime wear short), he always say he don't like girl, he and Lind and gena is members family have masculine/feminine names, his hat have a different with original version it have a hat strap.

[dreamboundedstar]

More Bob’s Burgers Headcanons For Tina and Zeke Because Why Not!

Tina: 1. Her full first name is Martina which makes her Martina Ruth Belcher. Linda thought the name Martina was a good idea at the time, until it wasn't. Now she is forever known as Tina except for her birth certificate and other legal documents.

2. Her eyes are blue (I don't care that Tina's eyes were brown in the Archer episode, I'm going with her blue eye color that was revealed in the Bob's Burgers story, "The Makeup".

3. Tina has a hard time with romance at her age because she loves the longing. Even when drama happens in her romance she secretly is okay with the negative outcomes because it fuels her limerence. That's why she struggled with asking Jimmy Jr. to be official with her in the movie. She was so afraid of him saying yes because then things would become real and she wouldn't have her limerance to fall back on anymore once the real Jimmy Jr killed fantasy Jimmy Jr for good. She fears having trouble finding romance in the mundane and never being satisfied because of all the fantasy hours she built up over the years. With Jimmy Jr finding her barrettecklace though, she realizes she's willing to try and move past her limerence because she learns that she can still find romance even in the smallest gestures. It may not be the Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers drama she always wanted, but it was hers and she would be okay with that. 4. Another reason for her limerence is because she fears once things become real for her, they will be gone in an instant once the guy decides she wasn't enough. At least in her fantasy she can believe she will always be enough, the apple of her dream boy's eyes, and she will never have to worry about being tossed aside like trash.

5. After her break up with Jimmy Jr. around the end of high school, she vows to never put in as many fantasy hours for a boy as she did for him at least until she's sure she's safe to do so. She just can't handle that pain anymore. She still will be boy crazy, she just has a limit to how long she will fantasize about her crushes before she dates them now.

6. She has a box full of wedding plans/ideas for herself and her whole family, even Bob and Linda just in case they ever have the money to want to renew their vows with a fancier wedding. Gayle is also included as well. 7. As she gets older, she slowly starts dating more guys against her type of tall, skinny guys with long necks, perfectly shaped butts, and accents because she desperately doesn't want to end up like Gayle all because she had too high standards.

8. Tina's birthday is July 8th, 2008, I will accept nothing else. (Blame the Bob's Burger wiki for saying that it was her birthday! It's gone now but it was there! I refuse to let go that Tina, a character I kin has the same birthday as me! XD) 9. Tina is autistic but undiagnosed. That's not breaking new ground but that's my headcanon. 10. Tina grows up to be the smallest of the Belcher kids. She's slightly smaller than Linda while Gene is his mom's height while Louise is the tallest in between Bob's and Linda's height.

11. When Tina is 16 she will juggle working at her family restaurant, babysitting, and at a book store to afford college or whatever if she decides not to go to college. She has her hands full especially when she still has two more years of school.

Zeke: 1. Zeke's full name is Ezekiel Anthony Connor. 2. His birthday is March 11th, 2008 ( March 11th is the release date of "The Belchies", Zeke's first appearance. I couldn't use Bobby Tisdale's birthday because I couldn't find it so this was the next best thing). 3. Zeke's grandma's name is Daniella and his grandpa was named Anthony. 4. He was raised mostly by his grandparents until his grandpa died and his grandma couldn't take care of him anymore and had to be put in a home. 5. Curt from Bob's flashback in "Two for Tina" is Zeke's 44-year-old brother (assuming it's a half-brother) because I think it's funny and they share a voice actor. 6. Zeke's dad is a con artist that sells cheaply made crap of all kinds and that's why they moved around a lot. Zeke's dad would be good at what he does since it is revealed he owns a jacuzzi tub in "Tina and the Real Ghost". Though he could be bad at it and just squanders his money anyway instead of providing for his kid. 7. Zeke's mom was held back 4 times in school (if Harold from Hey Arnold can do it then so can she lol). She was 21 when she went to prom and was pregnant with Zeke. Still creepy as heck for a hypothetical 46-year-old to impregnate a 21 to 22-year-old, but not illegal. (I'm assuming Curt was born when Zeke's dad was 15 to be generous) 8. Zeke was an unwanted pregnancy. I can see Zeke's mom as a gold digger that was tricked into thinking Zeke's dad was more wealthy than he actually was. Zeke's mom wanted the easy way out because she was doing terribly in school and thought Zeke's dad could be her way in. She got pregnant by accident and neither of them was ready for it. Zeke's parents got married and tried to make it work but they just didn't work as a couple. Zeke's dad got more custody than Zeke's mom in the divorce because he seemed slightly more stable at the time.

9. Before Cheryl, not a day went by without Zeke's dad making Zeke feel like a screw-up. No matter how much he tries to help with his dad's business, it's never enough. 10. Zeke's relationship with his mom is not much better. She acts like she loves him but he can tell she's only doing what she thinks a mother is supposed to do and going through the motions. He can't help but feel that all she can see in him was her own mistakes. He still tries to see the best in both of his parents because he would go insane otherwise. 11. Zeke's grandparents were the few good role models in Zeke's home life. Cheryl, Zeke's stepmom later on would help get his dad's act together and Zeke will be forever grateful to her for that. She still has an issue with alcohol and is a shopaholic, but she is more present in Zeke's life than his bio mom is. 12. Zeke gets his love language from his grandparents. 13. Zeke has undiagnosed ADHD which explains his impulse control problem and why he gets bored very easily in "Tina and the Real Ghost".

14. Zeke grows up to be as tall as Bob but still shorter than Jimmy Jr. He's still stocky but his muscles balance out his stocky physique. He doesn't have a problem with being a big guy and is comfortable with himself. Just don't ask him why he's been putting more on his glutes lately because you won't get an answer. Definitely doing it for himself and not for anybody else yes siree bob. 15. At 16, Zeke would volunteers to help cover for Tina at Bob's Burgers during the times she's doing either at her book store job or babysitting job. 16. Zeke has green eyes.

Anyway, that's all. I tried to do more headcanons for them as characters rather shippy headcanons. Though a bit slipped through the cracks for both of them. Here's the height chart to compare the heights.

(Blue Bob is supposed to be Jimmy Sr Pesto's height but I guess like the show I'm trying to erase the character's existence on a subconscious level. XD)

Figures come from here. http://www.mrinitialman.com/OddsEnds/Sizes/compsizes.xhtml

When I think I'm done with the headcanons they just keep coming for some reason. Fingers crossed that I'm not too off base when it comes to Zeke's family. I'm basically placing my bets that his bio parents are terrible people and only his grandparents and Cheryl were good to him. I would hate to be eating crow later. XD

"Stuck in the Bathroom With You" Prompt Idea

Post Bob’s Burgers movie and everyone is aged up 3 years. Tina recently broke up with Jimmy Jr. after realizing she is outgrowing him (not literally outgrowing him mind you). Though the worst part of the break up to her was that they ended it amicably, Jimmy Jr didn’t even try to beg for her to stay in the relationship. Tina was heartbroken in that it confirmed that all this work to be in a relationship her next door Romeo was for nothing if Jimmy Jr acted this mature in their separation. Tina took the breakup hard and begun to distant herself from the kids she used to hang out with, knowing that Jimmy Jr would be part of that group. So she spends most of her off time in her room, work, and attempting to hang out with Susmita with mixed results (she felt awkward being a 3rd wheel whenever Henry Haber showed up). She’s relieved not being around the toxicity that is Tammy anymore, but she also missed being part of something even if that something was a boring, toxic mess. She can’t risk being part of any group Jimmy Jr. is in anymore because she can’t bare awkward tension she feels with him now. It’s not like there’s anybody in that would miss her anyway she thinks to herself. Her family are trying so hard to get Tina to not shut herself out from the world and get her out of her breakup funk. How can Tina even bare to look out the window if all she can see is the person she broke up with working, moving on with his life without her? Tina defends her actions by saying that she has way more time to actually help the family business and it’s not like there’s anybody else that would be willing to work here for free. Suddenly Zeke enters Bob’s Burgers and offers to work there for free because of community service (or some other reason that makes it seem like working here was the better option). Tina is annoyed by this because she was hoping to avoid anything that reminded her of Jimmy Jr. At first it was okay because Zeke was mostly outside doing mascot work while Tina could ignore him inside. Zeke exceled at being the mascot (runs in his blood after all) and bringing people in with his charismatic personality. Gene appreciated not having to be the mascot as much now. Though Tina’s hope for her to avoid Zeke quickly changes when Bob immediately trains him in the kitchen, even listening to suggestions for what to do for the next burger of the day. Everyone had something nice to say about Zeke, even Linda and Zeke were bonding over public pooping with him even jokingly giving her tips. Worst part of the day is when Zeke’s shift ends and he offers her to join him and the rest to do whatever they were going to do while Tina awkwardly has to make up excuses why she couldn’t go. Zeke was still friends with Jimmy Jr. so there was no way he was not going to be there. Oh the irony of Zeke trying to get Tina to join in on the Kid Krew after the breakup even though he was the one responsible for unintentionally keeping Jimmy Jr. and her apart before they were official. It’s driving her crazy how easily Zeke is able to get along with everyone in her family and making it better for the restaurant as a whole. The only hope she had was for Zeke’s community service to be over soon since she didn’t want to be selfish and make her dad fire Zeke just because she wants him to. Louise and Gene are reaping in the benefits of Zeke working at Bob’s Burgers and rejoicing that they get to slack off more than they usually do. Their only obstacle is that Tina is the only one that’s not happy with the arrangement. So even though the thought makes Louise sick, she and Gene decide to play matchmaker and kill two birds with one stone. Get Tina out of her funk and get Zeke to want to permanently work at Bob’s Burger’s. Louise and Gene’s plan is made a lot easier (or harder depending on your pov) when Zeke decides to change it up a bit to ask Tina to hang out just the two of them as friends. Tina still makes excuses why she can’t go and now realizes that all this time he wasn’t asking her to hang out for Jimmy Jr’s sake, it was for his sake. Tina knew that in the past Zeke implied a few times he had a crush on her, but she figured it was mostly teasing or to save his own butt. As an avid erotic fiction writer, she can see a mile away that Zeke is trying court her. She wasn’t ready to get back in the dating game though and it felt wrong to agree to date the best friend of her ex. There was also a childish part of her that wanted to prove Zeke and his overconfidence wrong. There was no way she was ever going to let him “get her” and prove him right. Besides it’s not like Zeke was her type anyway. Sure, he had perfect lips, he has gotten taller, more muscular, and she always had a thing for accents. So maybe he could also be very sweet, brave, and it’s charming how he is willing to be everybody’s hype man. So what if he had all of that going for him? He still is very gross, not very bright, and with no shame about it whatsoever. Nope, no way was she harboring feelings for him. Louise and Gene begin to “coincidentally” have things happen around Zeke and Tina that could be perceived as romantic but were “total accidents” such as Gene practicing a romantic tune on his keyboard or Louise “unintentionally” pushing Zeke closer to Tina. They get desperate an release the “big buns” which is just Louise and Gene just dropping stuff for Zeke to pick up which Tina makes eye contact with Zeke’s glorious gluteus maximus. This causes Tina’s face to go completely red with her nervously groaning and immediately noping her way out of the restaurant to get back to her senses later. Louise and Gene were about to give up until Louise thinks up a brilliant idea that’s so crazy it just might work. Gene and Louise both separately tell Zeke and Tina that the bathroom really needs a good cleaning. Once both Zeke and Tina are both in the same bathroom, Gene and Louise block the bathroom door with a table and vaguely say that they won’t release them until they work out their issues/truth comes out. Tina is pissed at her siblings because there is nothing to tell while Zeke is confused/a little nervous on what could possibly they know that needs to be told. Tina starts hyperventilating which Zeke tries to that shut down because they need all the air they can get while stuck together. Tina tries to play off like she has no idea what her siblings are trying to do and make small talk with Zeke while stuck in the bathroom. Zeke, thinking this was about his thing gets serious and admits to Tina there was never any community service he needed to do. Zeke reveals he was willingly working at Bob Burger’s for free because he was worried about Tina shutting herself off from her friends and wanted to make sure she was alright. Zeke admits that he missed her and just wanted to hang out with her again, even if it was through unpaid labor. Even if he wasn’t friends with Jimmy Jr. he still would want to be friends with Tina. After his attempt to get Tina to join with the Kid Krew again failed, he thought maybe without Jimmy Jr. they could still hang just the two of them as friends. However, he guesses that since he made it clear that he has a crush on her, it would of been too weird for her. He never wanted her to make her feel weird about him wanting to hang out with her. Even if he did like like her, he knew that what she needed was to know that there are people that still want to hang out with her even without Jimmy Jr’s influence or some other reason. Tina is touched, he isn’t trying to swoop in to make a move on her once Jimmy Jr. was done with her. He genuinely sees her as one of his closest friends and missed her. She never knew how much Zeke valued her and felt terrible for accusing him of only trying to prove he was right and that he would “get her” after all. Since Zeke is being honest about everything, it was only fair for her to be honest about what she was feeling lately. Tina admits at first she hated that he was working here because she wanted to move on from Jimmy Jr and dating in general. The more he spent time the more she realized how much better everything was with him in it, how much happier she was to have a friend there. She was warming up to him but at the same time hated that she was warming up to him because it made it harder to deny the feelings she been pushing away for awhile. Now that she let go of Jimmy Jr. she couldn’t deny the slowly growing feelings that she was feeling for Zeke. She was holding back for so long because she wanted to prove Zeke wrong for something he said 3 years ago. Why was she being this stubborn? Why would it be so bad if he did get her? It wouldn’t, she comes to realize. Maybe being caught by Zeke was something that she now wants more than anything else in the world now? After hearing Zeke being honest about his intentions she realized that she had no reason to hold back anymore and brings Zeke in to passionately kiss him in the bathroom. Not her most ideal kissing spot, but neither she or Zeke were complaining right now. Louise and Gene finally release Tina and Zeke after Linda and Bob find out. Mixed reactions galore when everyone finds Tina and Zeke making out in the bathroom. Man, I typed a lot more here than I expected. You can end it with the reactions or you can end it however you wish. I just want it to funny though. This is just a rough concept of an idea I wanted to do anyway so I’m open to however you feel will make it better/more in character if you to choose to write this story.

Bob’s Burgers Classpects

First of all, I mostly had specific episodes in mind when doing these, sometimes multiple episodes. Also I’ve watched every episode from season 3 onward so here we go

Bob-Maid of Life

He is an workholic and very involved with his work so he fits well in the Maid class.

Life is tied to food, through Betty Crocker and it’s nature themes.

I also see Maids/Sylphs as some who creates their aspects, and Bob has this recurring Joke where when he is alone of especially involved on his thing, he makes food talk. Just search  “ Bob Making Objects Talk, Seasons 1–4″ and what he is doing there is giving life to objects. 

He also said on the Saving the Warf 2-part episode that he loves his kids more than Linda, he is a Maid of Life, he is proud of the Life he helped create, and the food he creates.

Linda-Mage of Blood

Linda is a conciliator, she is active and loud, she is very attached to her family. When Louise got in trouble for something good she did, she breaks her out. When Teddy is having a fight with Bob, she is the one who’ll get them to work it out. She is the one anxious about Tina growing up to be more detached. Blood seems like a good pick

As a Mage, she has an inherit understanding of things, she ignites actions, while a Seer just beholds it and explains it. She ignites actions like Running away from detention, making Bob forgive Teddy, trying to get Tina to loosen up and stuff.

She is a Mage of Blood, she understands relationships and points to people ways to fix theirs.

Tina-Page of Heart 

Literally all of Tina’s episodes are about her identity, about staying true to herself. About not being a bad girl for popularity, about not being a bully, about not counting on other to make her feel like she wants and believing on herself. She also has many things in common with Dirk,  love for Horses and Boys for example.

She tends to look up to people who may not be the coolest, she is attached to her Pony toys, she likes to live on her own little head, and that’s why she has so many lessons about being herself, she needs to grow up and realize that her fantasies won’t always come true, but she has it on herself to change things.

She is a Page of Heart, she is in the slow paced journey to grow and understand herself.

Gene-Witch of Breath 

Gene embodies change and motion, when his favorite chocolate bar suddenly sucks, he’ll fight to change it, he’ll fight to protect an weird seaweed that glows, he’ll change a theater play into something better by himself. He is an innovator, much like the Heir/Witch, but his struggles with for example, being overly attached to his guardians are a Witchy thing.

His music on his keyboard also carries a Breath symbol, of using the power on his words, on his songs. His creativity lies on Changing Breath, on creating music.

He is a Witch of Breath, he takes control of music and speech, and he bends it to his will.

Louise-Rogue of Time 

Louise doesn’t fit the traditional image of an rogue exactly, she certainly breaks rules, but she also stands up for people. When Pocket Sized Rudy is being bullied she will pull his bullies’ pants down, when Gene is in trouble she’ll stand up for him, when Tina lost her chance to go to a show Louise hates, she’ll find a way to go there anyways. She is on her best when she works with people.

Time is an aspect related to being restlessly active, of doing what you want as soon as you can, Louise really fits it, but her biggest anxieties come from Growing up. She doesn’t want to grow distant from her dad, she doesn’t want to loose her imagination and her love for her toys. But she also has plans on taking the restaurant, time is this double edged sword for her.

She is a Rogue of Time, she breaks rules for others, she schemes, and she tries to buy herself time because she doesn’t want to grow up.

ten - ot7 x reader fluff

A/N: the final part to our numbers trilogy! Read the first part here - Seven, and the second part here - Eight. 1.9k. (i’m boo boo the fool and wrote this whole thing before realizing that i couldn’t call it ‘nine’ anymore oops) Life changes now that you and your seven boyfriends are parents.

---

“Isn’t she beautiful?”

Beaming down at the sleeping new-born in your arms, you can’t help but agree with Hoseok. After an excruciatingly long labor and a couple of days in hospital, you had returned home and spent the next week and a half in new-parent bliss with the boys.

The past nine months had been full of trials and tribulations. Seeing the boys anywhere outside the dorm became impossible as countless emergency meetings were scheduled on whether BigHit should let the public know you were pregnant. The thought even came up that you should get a paternity test for your baby so that only the ‘real’ father would be publicly known as the dad.

You cringe thinking back to that meeting. Hoseok had gotten all quiet and scared at the thought that he might not be able to be seen with you in public if he wasn’t the father. Namjoon, Jin and Yoongi had gotten heated to the point of yelling about how that would affect the group morale, Jimin and Taehyung left, telling Sejin that they would go on strike from the group if Sejin wanted to split them apart like that. Worst of all, your gentle Koo had started crying, hand clasped over his mouth and nose as his shoulders shook, letting out upset whimpers with every sob.

The pregnancy wasn’t all emotionally strenuous meetings though. There was an abundance of joy that kept you going in seeing your boyfriends prepare to be fathers. Still, to this day, the eight of you had a parenting-specific group-chat called ‘Operation Baby’, which had started out as a way for the members to give their opinions on baby clothes and nursery furniture since they weren’t allowed to be seen shopping for items like that. Now it was mostly used to designate whose turn it was to get up when the cries started at all hours of the morning.

There were some slight disagreements over time; Jimin, who desperately wanted to buy little color-coded booties and binkies, wanted to find out the gender but Namjoon was insistent that gender wasn’t something to designate a color, and that the sex of the baby didn’t matter, that you would love it equally no matter what. Jimin reluctantly settled for buying booties in every pastel shade there was (he teared up opening the massive cardboard box that arrived in your mail one Wednesday morning). One night, while he was a bit too drunk, Jin suggested that he should be the name for the father on the birth certificate since he was the oldest. Hoseok rebutted that it should be him since he had been dating you the longest, and a scuffle had broken out on your patio. In the end, Jin had won the battle, but with the caveat that he would get no extra rights over the others. That decision was one of the hardest you had to make.

Luckily for you and the boys, it wasn’t touring season. They had just finished the final leg of their world tour when you were reaching the end of your second trimester, and then they were allowed to have a one-month complete break before returning to work. Still, Sejin and Bang PD had decided it was wise to have them working on a new album for a while, at least over the later months of the pregnancy and after giving birth. They had been gradually increasing public appearances on a smaller scale to keep the fans entertained; a new season of Run! was airing, their mobile game had been a hit as expected, and they were taking the time to feature as guests on several Korean variety shows and be interviewed over Skype for some international news outlets. Put simply, everything had gone much more smoothly than you think anyone was expecting.

“Ah, I think Jimin wants to come in,” Hobi says softly, pulling you out of your musings. You glance up to see a shadowed silhouette wiggling around behind the clouded-glass of Namjoon’s studio. The man himself, Namjoon, was fast asleep on the small couch and you didn’t think he’d be waking up anytime soon. He lay there with his legs sticking off the end, his mouth dangling open and a string of drool gathering on the fabric under his cheek. Namjoon looked totally exhausted.

You nod and Hobi and he gets up quickly to let Jimin in, shushing him the moment the door opens. Behind him, Jungkook enters silently, waving to the infant in your arms cheerily and immediately running up to start wiggling her little chubby legs and tickling her tummy as she lets out little coos. With a hushed voice, Jimin questions, “how is our little Hana doing?”

You beam down at the little girl, letting her latch onto your pinky with her tiny sausage fingers, complete with the smallest fingernails in the world. “She’s happy. We’re trying to get her used to the sounds of the equipment running.” There was always a slight buzz in the air because of how much producing equipment was in here and the other studios, and you had read once that if you got a puppy used to certain noises then it wouldn’t bother them when they grew up. Surely babies were the same, right?

Jimin sighs out dreamily, coming forward to rub your back and give the baby’s forehead a kiss. “Can I hold her?” Instinctively, Jungkook steps back to give you two room.

“Of course,” you whisper back, deftly navigating the delicate body out of your arms and into his. “Where’s Dul?”

So, there was another thing. Not that long after you started regularly going to the clinic for checkups, your nurse found two heartbeats. The boys were over the moon – all the more babies to love; you couldn’t stop thinking about how hard it would be when they eventually had to return to work. But for now, you tried not to think about that and just enjoy your sweet little twins. Taehyung, who had twins in his family’s history, thought this meant he was the biological father. But then again, the family resemblance had become a bit of an ongoing inside joke. Your little daughter had Yoongi’s gummy smile, Namjoon’s dimples, and your nose. Her brother, older by sixteen minutes, had Jungkook’s glittering eyes, Jimin’s pillowy lips, and had already started twitching his nose like Jin. Nobody could deny that the little infants looked nothing like Hobi, and while you’d all joke around about it, you could tell it hurt him.

Jimin laughs breathily, bouncing the baby until she lets out a sweet yawn, bunching her fist up by her mouth, and promptly goes to sleep in her daddy’s arms. “We really need to come up with names already. One and Two aren’t going to be cute much longer.”

You fix him with a glare. “Excuse me! I don’t see you posting any better suggestions on the Operation Baby chat.”

He tuts you with a grin. “That’s because the last few options have been Thing One and Thing Two, Bob and Linda, and pussydestroyer69 and pussydestroyer420.”

Having been quiet for a few minutes, Jungkook reflexively blurts, “pussydestroyer420 and 69 are gender neutral, okay? I thought Namjoon would appreciate it.” He turns and gives the sleeping leader a baleful look. “I can never win.”

You reach up and pat his cheeks teasingly, standing up and stretching out your sore arm joints. “Anyway, whereabouts is my little son?”

Jungkook leans into your touch, wrinkling his nose in protest to your pats. “The kitchen. Jin and Tae are telling him how to make spaghetti Bolognese.”

You laugh softly, leaving the three boys sitting and the one sleeping in Namjoon’s studio, heading down the hallway to the kitchen. As you approach, you can hear an angelic low melody hummed by Taehyung, and the animated yet matter-of-fact tone of Jin describing how to properly dice onion.

You smother a grin, rounding the corner and taking a seat at the breakfast bar. Jin had apparently heard somewhere that it was important to speak a lot around growing children to increase their exposure to language, and had taken it upon himself to narrate his entire life in the past week to the little oblivious babies. He gestured passionately with the knife and his elbows as Tae kept a safe distance, bouncing the baby softly as it lay against his chest, head tucked into Taehyung’s neck. The humming had clearly sent your son to sleep; truth be told, the slow version of Scenery had your eyelids feeling heavy too.

Once he notices your presence, Jin sighs heavily. “Finally, you’re here! Your son isn’t listening to me!”

You smile, eyes crinkling. “In his defense, that knife would be fair too heavy for him to hold.”

“Weakling,” Jin mutters.

The humming stops. “You look tired,” Taehyung notes, tipping his head at you. “You and Yoongi were on night shift last night, right?”

You make a noise of affirmation and nod once. “Hana just wouldn’t settle. I think she’s going to be the trouble one of the two.”

“That’s true. This guy seems pretty easygoing.” You let yourself get lost in the sight of Taehyung snuggling your baby boy, Tae’s hand bigger than the infant’s entire back, but then Taehyung calls your name again. “Y/n. Go to bed, baby. We’ve got this; haven’t we, Jin-hyung?”

Jin scrapes the diced onions into the pan and smiles up at you, cheeks puffing. “Dinner’s still a couple of hours away. Get some rest, jagiya.”

As much as you want to savor every moment with your family, you’re certainly relieved to finally have a good reason to lie down. You give them both a soft kiss on the lips, and your baby several smooches on his chubby cheeks and soft head, before padding down the hallway to the only other person who’s still in bed.

“Yoongi,” you whisper into the dark bedroom, curtains drawn. The lump under the blankets doesn’t move. “Are you awake?”

“Physically,” comes the gruff reply. You grin and shuck your clothes quickly, leaving just your underwear on before slipping under the covers. “Hey, baby. How are the terrible two?”

“Taehyung and Jungkook are fine,” you quip.

“Ha ha. C’mere, I wanna snuggle.” You huff a laugh at the demanding way he asks for affection, but nevertheless shuffle into his grasp, letting him wrap his arms around you, planting soft kisses on your bare shoulder.

You hum in contentment at the sensation. “Love you, Yoonie.”

“I love you more.”

You tilt your head up and scrunch your nose playfully. “I love you most.”

His eyes are narrowed at the edges as he smiles. “Fine then, you win. Now let me spoon my beautiful wife and the mother of my children.”

Your eyes fly open. “What.”

“Uh.” Yoongi stammers. “Just, uh, ignore that wife comment. Shit.” You chuckle a little and lie back against the pillows, feeling a lazy finger trace circles on your skin. Minutes later, when you’re almost asleep, you hear him murmur into the silent room, “just pretend to be surprised when Hoseok pulls out the ring, okay?”

4. Top 5 fics by kudos

zeke running away fic, genderfluid gene fic, louise hat fic, bob mom fic, tinimmy week fic (the problem with naming all my fanfics after really long complicated song lyrics is that i simply will not actually call the fanfictions by their Actual Name. also not linking them bcuz im lazy)

i always try to respond to comments but tbh people dont comment on my work very often?? i also dont reply to comments on my old account bcuz i dont have access to it anymore

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i dont know if ive ever written anything angsty tbh?? thats not really my favorite thing because it makes me too sad. out of my published fanfics probably the fic about bob's mom wins by default and out of my unpublished wips uhh maybe my louise and tina focused fanfic. it has a happy ending (maybe) but its a real downer at times. or maybe my tinimmy fic is bittersweet depending on how you read it

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

maybe my fanfic where bob gets a garden LMAO or my genderfluid gene fic

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no!!! actually a secret about me in that my almost 10 years posting art fanfics etc online i have never gotten a single negative comment on anything ive made. i feel very lucky :)

9. Do you write smut?

never have and never will (nothing wrong with it in most contexts but im asexual and smut is extremely Not My Thing. i actually tried writing a smut fic once to challenge myself a few years ago and spent like 1000 words describing the way the candles were lit in their bedroom before i realized its simply not for me and thats fine)

i dont remember but im gonna go with probably not

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

i have like over 30+ wips so thats probably a lot of them FJDMDMSJSKS something i would love to finish at some point but probably never will is a fanfic about how bob and linda overcame the cycle of abuse with their own childhood memories vs how they are with their kids. maybe i could write that with somebody else and we each do like a chapter at a time (they write linda's memories and i write bob's etc)

16. What are your writing strengths?

people always tell me that im really good at capturing character's voices and personalities and making them feel in character?? i always want my stories to feel like something that could actually happen in-universe and make it make sense with the characters etc. i think part of this comes from working w/ my own ocs and thinking so hard about how different people express and communicate things and then applying that to other characters is easy. and bcuz of how my autism works i can memorize how a person or character constructs sentences and create new sentences inside my head in their voice :D i really pay attention to peoples speaking patterns & how they phrase things

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

probably how perfectionist i am about grammar and using certain words phrases punctuation etc that it takes FOREVER to get anything done. i also think im too wordy. i can turn a fifteen word sentence into a fifty word sentence easily which is great for essays but kinda annoying when you're reading a silly bobs burgers fanfic

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

i dont mind doing it for my ocs but to my knowledge none of the bob's burgers characters speak another language as their native language?? so i cant see it coming up in anything i write

19. First fandom you wrote for?

i dont really wanna say bcuz its embarrassing and i was pretty young LMAO but it was like youtuber fanfic on wattpad (wayy before whatever youtubers you're thinking of they were never famous)

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

hmm either my tinimmy week fic or my genderfluid gene fic it changes depending on the day. right now its my tinimmy week fanfic <3

y’all i saw terminator: dark fate!!!!!!!!!

GOD i loved it. i think i’ve admitted before that the only way i really rank exciting plot points in movies is by how much i anticipated them/wanted them to happen, and terminator: dark fate did NOT disappoint. fuck every writer or director who makes weird shit happen in their stories just to give the audience a story they couldn’t possibly have anticipated. (cough avengers endgame cough.) sometimes the best ending is one you can see from ten miles away, because that means it’s been set up EFFICIENTLY. 

obviously, i think the new terminator did that. there were a few things i wanted to happen that didn’t (mostly regarding the life of one or two key characters), and a few things i legitimately didn’t see coming that i really liked, but ultimately the story was solid, awesome to watch, and very faithful to the original. i haven’t seen any of the sequels past judgement day, and i have no plans to change that anytime soon (lmao), but i’ve heard that it discounts all continuity past the second one, and that’s completely fine by me. the actors were great. LINDA HAMILTON was great. and i am sexually attracted to old soft arnold schwarzenneger. 😔

i was debating on whether or not i should make a separate post to talk about the time travel in the terminator franchise or if i should just go crazy go stupid and lump it in with my review and ultimately i think it can just go here, because i have some things to say re: the way it ties back to the originals. 

personally i think the neatest example of time shenanigans in the franchise comes from the very first movie. that one sets up time travel in their universe as very “you already changed the past,” insofar as, without the time travel elements, there is the very real sense that the future the terminator came from would never have existed. kyle reese, from the future, becomes the father of his superior officer john connor. without the time travel, there would be no human resistance for skynet to fear. not only that, when the terminator’s arm is left behind intact, even after sarah destroys the machine, they set out the idea that skynet itself was DEVELOPED FROM THE TERMINATOR’S TECHNOLOGY, so if there was no time travel, there was no skynet, and no apocalypse... etc. at the end of the movie, the picture of sarah that kyle comes back with is taken by a child at a gas station, and it seems like a clue that everything is happening on track. sarah will give birth to john connor, the machines will rise up, the resistance will rally, time travel will ensue. the events of the first movie are a closed time loop, and ultimately, i find that really satisfying. 

However. 

from a narrative perspective, i think the changes in those time travel mechanics are super interesting. 

basically, in judgement day, there’s still some implications that the timeline is a closed loop--the terminator’s hand is actually shown to be the basis of what will become the skynet computer, which is being built right then and there. the apocalypse could indeed be on, and everything seems fixed. then, though, they find the creator of the computer, and miles bennett helps them to destroy his work in horror at what he will create. skynet never happens. they change the future. 

by dark fate, that ability to change what is “written” becomes not only a plot point, but a sort of rallying cry. the skynet apocalypse is officially off--now the dark future is controlled by a very similar breed of computer known as legion. sarah’s efforts changed the future, permanently. there’s the feeling perhaps that the future can only be changed to an extent (the skynet apocalypse being canceled, but replaced by a very similar robo-hell, for example--almost like the timeline is trying to set itself right), but that feeling is tested and challenged as the movie progresses. in that sense, dark fate is the full culmination of the trendline that their “trilogy” represents: sarah’s fate was sealed in dark fate, but with john’s influence in judgement day, things were officially set off course. dark fate represented dani’s turn, and she took everything into her own hands--she personally stood up and refused to run, refused to let the bad future win out, refused to take things lying down. sarah felt a kinship to her, based on the position that she found her in, but it’s like she realizes--dani is not sarah. sarah’s realization is that “she’s john,” which is closer--she’s the leader of the resistance, humanity’s only hope, but i think the message is pretty clearly telling us that she’s not john connor either--she’s dani ramos. 

and she fucking OWNS.

one thing that i was a little iffy about at the start of the movie was the “white savior” thing. i don’t think that was an unfounded reservation to have--based on the formula from the first movie, a terminator is sent back to kill, and a hero is sent back to protect. this time, the “hero” is a white girl cyborg named grace, while the character in danger, who the movie clearly wants you to think is in the same boat as sarah connor, ie the mother mary role, literally important not for her own self but for her womb, is a mexican woman. that could have reached unfortunate implication levels like hella fast, but honestly (and i will disclaim this by adding that i’m white, so if you felt differently about it i would appreciate hearing why), i think the rest of the movie subverted that pretty beautifully. for one thing, grace being fundamentally human underneath her augmentation meant that she wasn’t an unstoppable machine ready to continue on until her metal frame was torn to shreds. she was a BADASS, obviously, and in the first fight, grace did prove herself a worthy successor to the “uncle bob” terminator in t2 with her kickass skillz (sorry kyle reese you’re just not that cool), but soon after that we got to see grace’s limits. if it hadn’t been for sarah connor, grace’s plan on the bridge finally boiled down to “when the terminator starts to kill me, run.” soon after that, grace’s power is shown to be fallible even more thoroughly when she hits her limit and starts to convulse, a byproduct of her augmentation. grace can do more than what a human can do, but she can’t do it forever like a machine could. very quickly in the movie, the tables were flipped, and even though grace came back through time to protect dani, dani was the one who had to take over the driver’s seat (despite never having driven before), and the one responsible for getting grace to medicine so that she could be resuscitated. and all that was BEFORE the big reveal.

a note: there were two scenes in pretty quick succession in this sequence that made me sob. the first of these was the death of dani’s brother diego, because in his last act, he was reassuring his sister that he was okay, despite being impaled by a metal pole. that line gave his character some depths that i hadn’t expected, and it really made dani’s pain after the car went up feel palpable. diego didn’t get a lot of screentime, but we saw him flirt lamely with a neighbor, we saw him dream of internet fame, we saw him joke at the factory even as his job was being replaced. we saw how much dani cared about him when she told him to take her job while she sorted out his replacement by machine parts. their relationship was a solid brick in the movie’s foundation, and his loss felt a lot more real than many comparable losses in movies. you know that whole “show, don’t tell” adage? they didn’t have to tell me that losing diego (and her father) was like a knife in dani. i saw that for myself. the second scene was at the pharmacy, when the employees and the other customers reached out to help grace even after she and dani had both lashed out and threatened them with the gun in fear of what was happening. y’all ever get emotional over the way that people are essentially good and will help each other when they can? god i fucking love that.

anyway, the reveal. the reveal was awesome. 

i started suspecting that dani wasn’t the mother of humanity’s last hope, but rather, humanity’s last hope herself, during the conversation on the train telling us exactly the opposite. sarah makes some assumptions and projects her experience onto dani, telling her flat out that she’s pretty much a walking incubator for humanity’s last hope. there’s a sense that sarah might be bitter about having that role handed to her, and perhaps even more so because it was then taken away--she lost the son that she risked everything for, fought two terminators for, and for nothing: for some machines in a future that no longer existed. in that scene though, crucially, grace never says anything to confirm sarah’s assumptions. the one character with knowledge of the future doesn’t impart it, and it shows. sarah knows things that dani doesn’t simply because it’s not her first rodeo, but she’s also wrong sometimes, too. again in the kitchen later, the “carl” terminator asks about grace’s mission, but she doesn’t share it or give any information on who dani is going to turn out to be. the absence of information can often be an answer all in itself, and the reveal had some EXCELLENT groundwork throughout the movie--both in grace’s actions and in the brave and heroic actions of dani herself.

dani’s nature and grace’s past being revealed in the plane was one of the best scenes in perhaps the entire franchise. i said i sobbed at those scenes i outlines before, right? yeah, that was nothing to how hard i was crying and also cringey stimming during the reveal. we got to see a peek of dani ramos some twenty years in the future, and she’s incredible. she’s fearless, she’s tough, but crucially, she’s still kind. she takes no shit, but she not only saves a child’s life, but she offers a new one to the thugs who were chasing her. in just one scene, the way that dani bands a resistance together is obvious: she’s the best of us, and she uses that for good.

god, i love dani ramos. 

the way that ultimately, dani takes the “hero” role over for herself (much like sarah did, honestly) and the way that we get to see grace’s weaknesses make them a very balanced pair. they’re both badass women in their own right (hell, sarah is, too), and they counter each other excellently. grace is augmented, and has physical capabilities that dani can’t match. at the same time, though, dani is willing to make risks that grace isn’t, because while grace’s concern rests on the fate of one woman, dani wants to find the best outcome for everyone--including herself, but not ending there. grace is willing to drop dani at the bottom of a mineshaft, if that’s what it takes to keep her safe. dani is willing to sacrifice her safety to face the confrontation that’s looming, because that’s what it takes to move forward. 

i think one of the coolest things about the movie is that both grace and sarah come into the action with more experience in combat than dani, and more knowledge about the situation than dani, but ultimately the movie shows that they aren’t infallible, and there’s never a moment when dani is punished for naivety or made to feel stupid because she wasn’t as informed as them. both grace and sarah, in fact, are openly shown to be wrong about dani in different ways--grace knows who she’s going to become, intimately, but that closeness makes her too reluctant to put dani near the front lines, choosing to run indefinitely from the terminator rather than face it head on and use every advantage they can get to beat it. sarah, meanwhile, respects dani’s agency more, but in a way she sees past her at the start of the movie, dismissing her importance in a way that reads as sarah dismissing her own--she’s attacking herself and using dani as a proxy, but sarah’s wrong, because dani isn’t her. i love how both grace and sarah are good characters, and they’re both doing what they think is necessary and right, but they’re allowed to be wrong and misguided. ultimately, if it wasn’t for dani’s own agency and choices, the terminator would not have been defeated, and there would be no hope for subverting the bad future everyone is waiting for.

fate, believe it or not, is a very present theme in dark fate. obviously, i talked earlier about how this movie is the culmination of the “you can’t change the future” ->  “you can change the future?” -> “you can change the future.” chain of events represented in the good terminator movies that i will acknowledge, but it’s more than just that. through the character of the “carl” terminator, we also get to see the blatant subversion of one’s nature for the better, and that was just. really epic. ngl.

in terminator 2, i enjoyed how john connor was protected by the reprogrammed terminator “uncle bob,” but i was a little disappointed by the execution. having uncle bob be a protector to john was exactly what i wanted, but the explanation that he had been programmed to do so rubbed me a little the wrong way. what i didn’t realize until i watched dark fate was that this pinged as wrong because dark fate gave me what i wanted: a terminator that didn’t change sides because he was taken down and forced to change, but rather, a terminator that actually made a conscious decision to be better because of what he observed in humanity. carl saw a familial dynamic and realized that he had taken that from sarah, and reached out to her, giving her a purpose like his family had given him a purpose, because he chose to. and that was the sexiest thing he could have done.

can you tell i LOVE what they did with the terminator. his arc and sarah’s were such awesome continuations for sarah’s general history and the progression of terminators played by arnold schwarzenneger. part of me was hoping for an ending where we saw sarah and carl drive off together, waving to dani and preparing to live out the rest of their years saving the future. yeah, well, we didn’t get that, but there were several scenes that hinted at forgiveness from sarah (an almost impossible feat given how she felt and what she lost) and trust between the two of them, and i loved that too.

dark fate was a good movie, y’all. it was so good. 

there’s probably a million other things that i could talk about going down this vein, but this post is already a monster. i’ll just sign out by saying: one last thing i thought was epic and cool was how the protagonists cross the border from mexico into the us and at no point is such an action demonized; in fact, it’s necessary for them to reach essential aid in the form of carl, and the man who facilitates the action, dani’s uncle, is never treated amorally or like a criminal. i know, i know, the bar is on the fucking floor, but in the political climate we’ve got, for a blockbuster to take that stance felt like a pretty solid statement to me. 

also, i liked the terminator’s line about texas. watching that in a theater in texas, i must report that it got the biggest audience reaction out of any line in the whole movie. folks, there were wolf whistles. ciao.

[comickergirl]

I’ve got a pretty big soft spot for Kara’s Daring New Adventures costume, with the shorts and choker. What do you think about that one? And what are your ranking of Supergirl costumes?

I am a HUGE FAN of Kara’s look in Daring New Adventures. Definitely one of my favorite costumes.

I’ve got a few posts about various Supergirl costumes, but I don’t think I’ve ever actually ranked them! So I’ll give it a shot. XD

Okay, so here it is: Supergirl Costumes, RANKED, from the Least Favorite to HECK YEAH!*

*DISCLAIMERS BEFORE WE BEGIN: Obviously this stuff is subjective, so my list is probably going to be different that other folks’ lists, and so on and so forth. Personally, I value simple, effective designs that are both functional and…oh, what’s a good word. They’re superhero costumes. Like, sure, you could probably get the same stuff done in a Kevlar vest and cargo pants, but there isn’t really a ton of flair to be had when you go the practical route

 And bonus points if the costume reflects the character’s personality/disposition, and has a story reason for existing.

Also I don’t think I’ve got EVERY DESIGN, EVER, for any and all Karas in the multiverse, because this post is ALREADY crazy long; we need not make it longer. XD

OKAY, so now that that’s done, LET’S GO:

25. Brainwashed Apokolips Supergirl 

Proof that ‘adding pants’ won’t always solve your costume problems. 

24. Dark Supergirl

So, here’s the thing: I love the black and silver Superman costume. LOVE. IT. So it should follow that I love the Supergirl variation, right? …Well. Sometimes, a design that would otherwise be ‘just fine’ is pushed into ‘oh God, please no,’ by 1.) a terrible story surrounding said design and 2.) really weird, sexualized artwork. Such is the case with our dear friend Dark Supergirl. Which is why it sits so low on the list. (And for those curious, yes, the blue equivalent also sits down here as well, because there’s just. A lot about this era that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.) 

23. Flamebird

Another design brought low by being wrapped up with a terrible story. (I think I dislike the Kandor plot more than the Dark Supergirl plot, actually.) This feels over-designed and like it’s trying way too hard to be edgy. Less ‘edgy’ than Apokolips Girl up there, but. Close. 

22. New 52

This isn’t awful in theory but that red…er…plate? kinda ruins the whole thing. Some artists did their best to make the plate look more like the equivalent of Clark’s trunks, but at it’s worst it’s just an awkward patch that looks even more awkward from a variety of angles. (And it’s BRIGHT RED so it distracts you from the other, more effective areas of the design. NOT GREAT, BOB. NOT GREAT.)

21. Bombshells

Look this one is absolutely a personal taste thing, I’ve just never been into the pin-up aesthetic. 

20. Superman: The Animated Series

I dunno, this design just never really worked for me. It’s not bad–in fact, it’s really simple and clean, but. *shrugs* Maybe it’s just too much a departure from what I generally associate with the Superman ‘family’ of costumes. Also, the gloves always make me think of like. Loony Tunes and Mickey Mouse. (But I love the boots, guys. Those are great.) (I didn’t include her later JLU costume on this list, but know that I like it a lot.)

19. Justice League 3001

Not a huge fan of the color blocking for this look. The crest is cool, but. The shapes don’t really mesh well, IMO. 

18. 70s Hot pants

I like 50% of this costume! As we will see shortly! But that remaining 50% really kills it, man. The way the shorts/hot pants are drawn, they just end up looking like really uncomfortable underwear.

17. Cyborg Supergirl

I’m just not a mech/tech armor person. Lot of plating and circuitry…kinda starts to look too busy and you lose the cooler design elements. (But there’s a story reason for it! So it does get some points in that regard!)

16. Red Lantern

Weird color blocking/shape language strikes again! Not a fan of the knees and torso. (But! It ranks way higher than the new 52 because it makes the plate into an actual full piece of clothing. Improvement!) Mask is really cool. And the sleeves.

15. Elseworld’s Finest

Honestly it’s not a bad design. Pretty simple and slick. Mostly, it’s just kinda plain. I like the way the cape attaches to the main portion, and the boots! 

14. Crucible Academy 

A bit more streamlined that the Cyborg look. Not at all a bad design. But again. Just not into the mech armor take. 

13. DC Superhero Girls

I actually really like this? I mean, she’s adorable? But I don’t quite understand the shirt. Is it a polo? Sweater vest? A sweater vest on TOP of a polo? IDK, it’s a mystery.

12. Gotham City Garage

Belly shirt feels a little dated, but otherwise, I dig it.

11. 1984 Movie Costume

HONESTLY, FRIENDS. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED…IT’S A SMALL MIRACLE THAT THIS COSTUME LOOKS AS GOOD AS IT DOES. We’re starting to move towards my personal favorite look for Supergirl–it’s got all the right elements! But the belt’s not great, and the material–I mean it works but it’s a costume from a movie that’s three decades old. So it’s a touch dated.

10. Headband

So we’re at the point where a lot of these designs are gonna start to look similar so really I can only rank them based on nitpicky things. XD Like, I don’t love when the skirt comes to a point like that, and the way the pleating is drawn makes the skirt sort of…hang weird. (Yes I realize it’s ridiculous to talk about gravity affecting fabric in a DRAWING where neither of those things actually exist but here we are.) Overall though? The crest is nice and bold, the shape is cool, it works well with the rest of the outfit, and they are just LEANING INTO THAT HEADBAND. YOU GO, KARA. (Also heeeeeey STORY REASON FOR HEADBAND so you know what that means. BONUS POINTS.)

9. Matrix

Improves on the areas that I don’t personally dig on the Headband costume–belts and boots are GREAT. Skirt still comes to a point though. :/

8. Linda Danvers

This is why I can’t really take that Flamebird design seriously. You want your Supergirl to look edgy? DOESN’T GET EDGIER THAN FIRE WINGS, BRO.

7. Injustice 2

It’s a video game, so you’ve got SEAMS and WEIRD RANDOM DETAILS and SUPERFLUOUS DESIGN NONSENSE (see: the costume options for the metal thigh bands) but GIVEN that it’s a video game, this coulda gone so bad, bro. So credit where credit is due. XD Don’t like the gloves and bare arms, though.

6. Jamal Igle Update

They took a costume that was…causing problems, and they made it work. Really, really well. 

5. Smallville Season 11

Okay, when they advertised this comic, and Kara’s costume, I was not into it. And then I read it, and LO AND BEHOLD, IT’S G8. The color blocking is KINDA CRAZY but remarkably, when you start drawing it in action? It just. It looks good.

4. Rebirth

IT’S JUST SO CLASSIC. (So why is it not in the top three? Because of that infernal skirt point, I tell ya.)

3. Silver Age

I mean they basically NAILED IT right out the GATE man. NOICE. 

2. Daring New Adventures

The 80s fix the 50% I didn’t like in 70s look–there’s just something about adding those boots…I dunno man, it just MAKES IT WORK MUCH BETTER. I love this look. I love this era in the comics. I love Carmine Infantino’s art. LOTTA LOVE, IN THIS NUMBER 2 SPOT. 

SO WHAT’S NUMBER ONE? 

Oh come on, like you guys didn’t know. XD

1. TV Show Costume

Listen. Listen. A real human being puts this suit on–a human being subject to gravity and weather and REAL WORLD** SCENARIOS–and it’s not a train wreck. The silhouette is nice! The material is convincingly durable! There are little design elements that don’t overwhelm the overall look! The CAPE HANGS WELL AND LOOKS SO GOOD, GUYS. SO GOOD. The skirt does not come to that awkward point and the minimal pleating is well hidden by that front portion. The tights and boots help with the whole ‘flying around in a skirt’ thing by covering her legs completely, and the shirt is actually a leotard, so it’s comparable to stuff that dancers wear. 

LOOKS GOOD.

WORKS WELL.

ALIGNS NICELY WITH KARA’S CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY.

SCREAMS: SUPER! AT THE TOP OF ITS PRIMARY COLORED LUNGS.

LETS FOLKS KNOW THAT YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY KICK BUTT AND TAKE NAMES IN A SKIRT.

So yes. It wins. Forever and always. 

Honorable Mentions: Every single one of Kevin Wada and Cory J. Walker’s Supergirl designs.

Previous Chapter

First chapter

Camille couldn't breathe and she was afraid she was going to piss herself. It wasn't healthy to laugh this hard while wearing Spanx. She had to give him credit. Tom had really come through on the costumes. Cher's idea to go as Bob's burgers was fucking brilliant. She and Cody were Linda and Bob with Nick as Gene. Lucy was oddly sexy as Louise, but Tom dressed up as Tina was what had her in stitches.

“I am a smart, strong, sensual woman” Tom even had the voice down.

“Stop, seriously I can't do this right now. The knee socks. I can't” Camille couldn't stop laughing.

“Camille, we need to get your hair put on” Lucy, bunny ears and all, pulled her up the stairs with Tom following behind. Camille wasn't a part of the Bob's Burgers bunch. Instead she and her boss teamed up as characters from Steven Universe. Stephen was going as Steven, and Camille as Rose Quartz. Lucy helped her get into her big fluffy pink and white strapless dress. The three of them then went to work on her hair. Two separate clip in pieces attached to give her volume and long flowing pink ringlets. Between the dress and the hair she looked a bit like a drag queen coming out of a wedding cake all tits and pink curls. Camille even had to admit she looked cute.

It was a little after 9 PM. They were determined not to be the first group there so they hung out for a bit catching a pre party buzz. A round of shots and a blunt. Camille was elated she was finally feeling healthy again. She was absolutely mortified she'd gotten sick in front of Harry. He'd been an angel. Not only did he get her home and to bed, for the second time, he'd taken her notes and handled the party details until Ashton came home. Tonight was the first time she'd see Harry since that day.

She hadn't really gotten to see any of the boys since they got back from Europe. The exception being Calum who had come by the morning after he'd given her the gifts to make sure she didn't need anything else. She'd stayed wrapped in her blankets hiding her face. He'd lounged on the opposite side of her bed, at her strictly enforced distance, telling her about the tour and how he'd found each of her gifts. Camille winced remembering the torture of having Calum on her bed and not being able to touch him. They carefully avoided any serious discussion talking mostly about places they'd traveled. Camille kept asking him questions about places they'd both visited. Only while Calum toured in person Camille had only explored through books. He'd stayed for about an hour before Camille started to get sleepy again. Getting up to leave he'd turned and pounced on her. Scooping her into his arms he'd buried his face in her blankets under her chin. Camille couldn't resist reaching her fingers out to stroke his neck and his jawline. The many nights she'd fantasized were nothing compared to Calum being right here. She was glad she was swaddled up so he couldn't hear her heartbeat pounding or see how flushed she was getting. They lay there like that without a word before he'd kissed her between her eyes and left.

Cher almost lost it when she walked into the party and saw Harry dressed as Squidward. Tom REALLY came through on the costumes. Harry for his part openly whooped seeing the Belcher family.

“You guys look spectacular” Harry hugged her with four tentacles.

“No seriously that's something else” Cher stood back eyeing him. “Where's Spongebob?”

“He'll be here later. I'll have to introduce you.” He leaned in to whisper “ I heard a rumor you might be single.”

“I was always single” she whispered back.

Harry just nodded and winked at her “of course, I have to find someone but Calum and Luke are around here somewhere and I'm pretty sure I saw Ashton in the kitchen with the food”

Harry pulled Tom off with him somewhere into the crowd.

Cher caught sight of Luke and she elbowed Cody. “Check it out, it's Bat-Luke.”

Cody laughed and pointed out Calum dressed as Robin pacing back and forth “and his boy wonder.”

Cody watched as Nick and Lucy greeted Lucy's friends who'd shown up dressed as the Powerpuff Girls. He recognized one as the girl who'd hooked up with Ashton at the last party. He saw Cher's face and knew she'd recognized the girl as well. Cody made a note to keep track of this one.

Pulling Cher aside he nodded towards another party guest “Do you see who that is?”

Cher looked back and her jaw dropped “Cody is that really? Wait until Camille sees he's a person and not a salad.”

“Will you stop being stupid?” Cody hissed. “I found out he's got a new show and his costar just happens to be my ex.”

Just then Calum locked eyes with Cher and laughing hysterically he jogged over.

“Holy shit you look fucking incredible, all of you” Calum told them hugging Cher and Lucy nodding at Cody and Nick.“Although I'm never going to see Louise the same way again.” He glanced behind her. “Where's Camille?”

“I see how important we are to you Cal. Speaking of important where's the booze?” Cher teased him.

“In the kitchen. Hey do you know Luke invited uh, a guest?” Calum looked nervous

“I didn't, while I appreciate the heads up I'm fine with all of this, I promise” Cher told him. “Are you ok?”

“Yeah I'm just, fucking hell, ok so Ameena kept calling me earlier and when I finally answered” Calum suddenly stopped and Cher saw his eyes light up. She was positive she'd never seen anyone smile like that.

Camille had arrived. She'd had to wait for her boss and his girlfriend so she could bring them over, but also she liked to make an entrance.

“Camille you made it” Bat-Luke appeared at her side. “That costume is perfect. You look so pretty. Cal isn't ready for this.” His blue eyes twinkling behind his mask.

“Luke” she gasped and hugged him. “Oh I've missed you sweet boy. How is everything?”

“We'll talk later. There are other people who need to see you first” Luke gently grabbed her shoulders to turn her around where Calum was coming up. Camille caught sight of him in his costume and her butterflies were back in force.

Robin had never been a sexy character but hot damn Calum was making it work. The sleeves were super short allowing her to see every tattoo on his muscled arms. Her eyes dropped down sucking in her breath surprised at how sexy Calum's thighs looked in leggings. Realizing where her thoughts were headed she tried to focus back on his face only to blush at the intensity in his gaze. Between the bulge in his leggings and his expression Calum made no attempt to hide what he was thinking.

“Can you two please try to restrain yourselves a little” Michael and Crystal appeared breaking Camille out of her thoughts.

“Hi you guys” Camille hugged them both “oh my God y'all are the cutest ever. Wanda and Cosmo? That's too perfect.”

“I can't believe you came as Rose Quartz. It was made for you. You look great.” Michael told her.

“Who did your hair? I fucking love it.” Crystal reached out playing with the pink curls

“Tom and Lucy helped. They're clip ins. I'm lucky I got the hair first thing way before I got sick.” Camille told her glancing back towards Calum who was now talking to Cher and Cody but still looking at her.

“I hope you really like him” Camille turned back to her as Crystal spoke. “I'm not taking sides in this, but he's gone through a lot just to take a chance with you.”

“I didn't ask him to” Camille felt defensive but she couldn't pretend to be completely innocent in all of this.

“I don't think he had a choice” Crystal told her. “He fell for you pretty quickly.”

Camille shook her head. “I don't know about all that. He's still young. I'm not anything special.”

“To him you are.” Crystal replied. “So please be careful, he's been hurt enough lately.”

Camille felt her face get hot. She felt a little responsible for that. If she'd walked away from the start she could've saved Calum from some of this misery.

“Hey” Crystal nudged her “I'm not trying to make you feel bad Cam. Look how happy he is right now.” They both looked up and when Calum caught them looking he excused himself from Michael.

Calum shyly approached Camille. She had this effect on him sometimes where he got so nervous. He found himself intimidated by her, and she had no clue. Just like she'd never believe him if he told her how beautiful she was right now.

Taking her hand he raised it to his lips while bowing slightly “You look like a queen tonight, your grace.”

Camille could not breathe. How could this man be real? How could this possibly be happening?

“Thank you kind sir. Royal or drag?” Camille raised an eyebrow. She cursed herself for being sarcastic when he was being so sweet.

Until she saw his lips twitch up into that smart ass grin he'd perfected.

“A little of both really. The hair is really something else.” Calum replied.

Camille bit back her usual snark and instead planted a light kiss on his jaw just beneath his ear. “Thank you” she told him.

Cher watched them from across the room. They both looked completely smitten. She'd never seen Camille look happier.

“Yeah they're gorgeous but can we talk about how cute you are in those glasses Linda” Luke's voice startled Cher out of her reverie.

“Very funny Bat-Luke” Cher giggled.

“I brought you a drink” Bat-Luke held up a red solo cup that smelled of watermelon vodka and cranberry juice.

“Leave it to Ashton to steal Camille's recipe” Cher hated this awkwardness between them. Scanning the room she turned to him “I thought your new girlfriend was coming tonight.”

Bat-Luke took a sip of his drink “she's not my girlfriend just yet, but she's here already. Summer is Andy's assistant. She's taking photos tonight.”

“I'm sure she'll be thrilled you're talking to me” Cher quipped.

“She knows about you. I've been honest with everyone. Can I get credit for that at least?” Luke looked slightly irritated and a bit wounded.

“Luke, I don't want things to be weird between us.” Cher told him.

“Nothing has to be weird. Just two friends having a conversation dressed as two cartoon characters. Totally normal.” Luke winked at her.

“Check it out Spongebob and Patrick have arrived.” Cher pointed across the room where Harry was greeting his friends.

“Holy shit that's Liam and Niall” Luke choked out a laugh.

“Hey Foxy Mama, You smell kinda pretty. Wanna smell me? Hoohah!" Ashton abruptly joined them causing Cher to almost spill her drink laughing.

Ashton as Johnny Bravo was hilariously appropriate. He looked smoking hot in tight jeans and a tight black t shirt.

"I bet your name's Mickey, 'cause you're so fine. You're so fine you..."

“Ashton there you are” Camille came over to greet him with Calum in tow.

“Camille or should I say Rose” Ashton leaned in for a hug. “You look stunning sweetheart. Calum's a lucky guy”

Calum and Camille both blushed and looked at each other with adoration.

Ashton, Cher and Luke all exchanged little “awwww” glances.

The moment was interrupted by an alarm on Calum's phone suddenly going off drawing the attention of everyone around him.

“Is that your home alarm” Ashton peeked over his shoulder as he shut off the alarm.

“Yeah my back door is open.” Calum looked confused.

“You think someone broke in?” Cher asked him.

“Not so much as I'm worried Duke got out.” Calum shook his head still confused.

“What is it Calum?” Camille reached up to caress his face so he'd look at her.

“I have the weirdest feeling. I don't even remember setting the alarm” Calum kissed her hand before letting it drop. “I really do need to check on Duke.”

“Do you want me to come with you?” Camille asked.

“Yes, but if you do and I get you alone in my apartment we won't be coming back to this party.” Calum kissed her lips gently “I'll be right back I promise.”

Calum left and Ashton nudged Camille in the ribs “You two are so gross you know that. Too mushy for me.”

“Shut the fuck up Irwin” Camille shot him a smirk. “You should really show Cher where the booze is and bring me another drink.”

Ashton chuckled and bowed towards her “your grace”

He went to Cher and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"You look pretty...I look pretty...why don't we go into the kitchen get a drink and stare at each other? You can watch my chest hair move in slow motion.”

Cher was giggling as she followed Ashton. “don't get too drunk too early.” Camille called after her.

“Mommy doesn't get drunk, mommy has fun” Cher called back.

Camille made her way back to Luke. “Is that her?” She nodded towards a pretty dark haired girl holding a camera lingering on the edge of the crowd.

“Yes actually” Luke motioned her over. “This is Summer. She's Andy's assistant/apprentice.”

“You must be Camille” Summer extended her hand.

“What gave it away” Camille smiled at her.

“The pink hair and I saw you with Cal. He's mentioned you more than a few times.” Summer looked nervous until she glanced at Luke and Camille could see the spark. “I have to go find Andy. I'm so glad I got to finally meet you Camille.”  Summer disappeared back into the crowd.

“She's cute Luke and she seems very sweet” Camille nodded at him watching him relax.

“I wanted her to meet you first. She's more nervous about Cher.” Luke took another drink before cocking his head and laughing. “Check it out Camille it's your favorite rapper.”

Camille scrunched up her nose “You know I can't stand Drake. He's a total fuckboy and this is his fuckboy anthem.”
