Linda: But trying to make people think you're cool is exhausting. And when you stop trying, suddenly the next person you talk to thinks you're the best person ever.

Cue the time-passing montage of Tina learning to let go of that embarrassing moment and stop trying to be cool. Most of the time it's with her family, at the restaurant, or by herself just investing herself in her favorite music again. However, there's this one frame I'm convinced has subtle symbolism!

The only time Zeke appears in the episode and it's to be in front of Tina while she looks out the window still sad from the event. Due to how this scene was set up it really looks like it's implying that Zeke is one of those that would think Tina is "the best person ever". However, Tina is too busy being sad to notice what's already in front of her. I mean, the window perfectly frames Zeke in (and sweet Susmita gets her moment too, even if it's just her hair and some of her skin) when they literally could have done whatever they wanted and changed the character in the seat in front of Tina. Heck, Tina could have been in the last seat and further symbolize the loneliness/self-pity Tina is feeling. It's possible they just wanted to stick with accurate continuity and have Tina, Zeke, Susmita, and the rest be in the same seating arrangements as they were in "Cheaty Cheaty Bang Bang". For continuity reasons or not, I still take it as symbolism that Zeke already thinks Tina is the coolest person ever and Tina just needs to really look around her to realize it. The subtext I tell ya!

So-Here is some more art. I'm sorry for the bad coloring-thing, I just suck at it. I'm not used to coloring in my drawings. Also, about my drawings. The drawing with Grover and Tina is NOT a ship, that's yucky and I just wanted to tell ya'll it's NOT a ship. In the fourth picture, ZEKE IS WEARING PANTS-I just think it kinda looks like he's not wearing anything-AND BTW this is not nsfw related drawing. It's simply just Zeke x Tina stuff where he tells her he loves her beautiful body, and she shouldn't be ashamed of herself for being chubby. (I made her a lil' bit chubby in that drawing. <33) That last drawing is my polyamory relationship that Zeke, Tina and Jimmy Jr have. That explains the other two doodles that I made. I know, it's a bit weird that I explain everything but I just feel like I had too-

[dreamboundedstar]

So precious! Tina looks so comfy in that outfit! Love the soft, colored outlines too. I look forward to the context of this scene, whatever it is.

INTRODUCING:

BOBS BURGERS DR

2015 in Seymour’s Bay, NJ

Bob’s Burgers right on Ocean Ave

The children of Linda and Bob Belcher, the Belcher kids work in their dads restaurant. With Alfie and Gene wanting to follow in their dads footsteps, Bob let Alfie and Gene have “management” positions in the restaurant. The Belcher’s are a close family. They fight for each other, laugh at each other, and always help each other out.

The Belcher siblings below the cut!

Alfred “Alfie” Robert Belcher, 20

Alfie being one of the oldest, does actually get to let Bob and Linda have a break by watching over the restaurant. Alfie decided to head over to business school for college, close enough to home so that he could help his dad. He loves the restaurant and teaching his siblings everything he knows.

Lilith “Lily” Marie Belcher, 20

Lily, on the other hand, is the only one who is actually responsible enough to handle the restaurant alone. Lily has been pursuing art since she was a child, drawing on menus in the restaurant. Linda wants her to go to art school, but Bob doesn’t want to let his baby girl go. While she’s perfectly content working in the restaurant and drawing on the pier, she yearns for more. She would give anything to explore the world and leave Seymour’s Bay. To get away, Lily lifeguards on the boardwalk during the summer.

Tina Ruth Belcher, 18

Tina is a natural born writer. With years of fanfic writing experience, she’s in the process of writing Wild West inspired novel. In her senior year of highschool, she’s been applying to local schools and hoping for a scholarship. Last year she found her confidence, now she embraces her weirdness.

Eugene “Gene” James Belcher, 16

Gene in his newfound manager position, still found passion in music. He wants to go to college for music theory, but that’s still a few years away. For now, playing on the pier and in the restaurant will do. He also found a hobby in making coffee, since Bob and Linda decided to buy an espresso machine. His favorite is latte art.

Louise Anne Belcher, 14

Louise as smart and mischievous as ever, is just trying to get through her freshman year of highschool. She’s a fan favorite to our restaurants locals and causes issues left right and center.

I Decided to Analyze the Kisses From "UFO No You Didn’t" Just Because:

At first, I just wanted to see the time duration between the kisses Tina did with Jimmy Jr. and Zeke to see how long she did for both of them. I figured I might as well go further and analyze what was going on during the kisses. Since Tina kissed Jimmy Jr. first I'll start with him.

Okay, to start off the kiss overall lasts around 4 seconds which fun fact, the average time duration of a kiss nowadays is 12 seconds according to my brief research on Google. In the 1980s the time duration was 5.5 seconds which Tina was closer to. Though nobody well-adjusted wants to see 13-year-olds kissing for 12 seconds, so glad Tina didn't go fully for either average for what she thought would be her last kiss with JJu. Anyway, as the kiss goes on JJu is basically in shell shock for the duration of the kiss. Not much eye movement to try to process what is happening. Though it's clear that JJu is so shocked that his arms go limp and he loses his backpack in the process. Tina kisses JJu with so much force that they still move slightly as Tina turns her head to make sure her kiss gets every part of his mouth. When Tina first turns her head I notice that JJu's eyebrow does lift up, assumingly because he didn't expect her to deepen the kiss on top of not being expected to be kissed in the first place. His raised eyebrow only lasts for a bit though and it goes back to the normal shell-shocked position when Tina turns her head again. Lastly, and the most interesting part of the kiss in my opinion is the last turn of the head Tina does. Once she turns her head to the last side of JJu's face, he lifts his arm up. Even in his shell-shock state, he still instinctively lifts his arm up. Though, we'll never know if it's because he wanted to push her off or if he wanted to embrace her. Tina ended it before he could do anything with his arms. Though given his reaction of "Whoa" as Tina ran away, it's more likely the latter was the case.

Though even if the kiss did last longer, knowing JJu he most likely would have left his arms like that and have no idea what to do with them because he's a dumb, teenage boy who can't handle that much intimacy.

That's all I can think of to talk about for that kiss. Now onto my favorite one, to no one's surprise.

For Zeke's kiss, it lasts about 2 seconds. That's not surprising seeing as Zeke was never going to get the longer kiss of the two at this point in time. However, what's special about this kiss at the start is that the animators went out of their way to zoom in on Tina kissing Zeke. That's interesting because they didn't put in the effort to turn the medium-long shot into a medium shot for Jimmy Jr. and Tina's kiss. The camera zoom clearly symbolizes the shock Zeke is feeling and emphasizes the shock the audience is supposed to feel at this moment. Though it's also possible they didn't zoom in for JJu because they wanted the audience to notice the arm lift more when it happened.

What's interesting about the start of Tina's kiss to Zeke is that she starts her kiss with her head tilted and then moves it back to it being straight, unlike Jimmy Jr's kiss where she started straight and tilted it both ways as the kiss went on. It's safe to assume it's because she wasn't running towards Zeke for a kiss and was prepared to be more calculated in her kiss. In short, she wasn't going to break her nose for Zeke. Since Zeke only has 2 seconds, he has even less time to react to anything that is happening. He's so shocked that his arms are stiff in place as Tina pulls his backpack straps. Even with his shorter time duration, Zeke's mental reaction time is still faster than JJu's in that his eyebrows raise even higher for a second time (the first was when Tina first pulled on his backpack straps) and his pupils dart up and back in place, not believing what is happening (the pupils darting up and down is my favorite part of this moment X3). After his pupils finish moving, Tina pushes Zeke's backpack straps back with so much force that his arms swing a bit, showing how shocked Zeke was by the whole ordeal. No matter how fast his mental reaction was, it was clearly never going to translate fast enough physically.

After that Tina leaves the poor boy stiff as a board, wondering what the heck just happened.

The episode goes on and even if JJu had the clearly more intimate kiss, he never brings up the kiss even when it's revealed why she did what she did. Meanwhile, despite having the less intimate kiss, Zeke makes it clear that he's open to another kiss in the next apocalypse. Then he immediately drops the playful teasing once Jimmy Jr. gets suspicious of Zeke's wording. Knowing how jealous JJu can get and not wanting to hurt him, Zeke distracts him with wrestling.

I think that's about all I can add to this analysis of the two kisses. Hope you enjoyed reading it. I'll end this by saying, Jimmy Jr. may have got the longer kiss, but Zeke would always have Tina's last kiss that episode and that's more important in my book. XD Also here are some funny screenshots of Zeke's smile turning into a frown once he realizes he screwed up. XD

[dreamboundedstar]

I pretty much agree with this. I definitely have other ships I have preferences over others in the show but this is the one ship in the show I have no compromising with. Louise and Rudy are adorable but I can live with it if they stay platonic friends. Gene, I don't care who he ends up even if I love his dynamic with Courtney and Alex. I love Bob and Linda's relationship, but I have nothing to worry about since they are already married and canon. Teddy and Kathleen, I want this pair to work out so bad for Teddy's sake. I'll be sad if he self-sabotages this relationship, but I'll manage if it comes to it. Zekina is the only ship I will ride or die on! Even if it sinks I will make like a captain and go down with this ship! I'll shoot every long shot to make them get together in my headcanons if the show goes in the opposite direction. The show set up way too many reasons why they should be end game whether directly or indirectly and I'm in too deep to quit ever man. XD

Zeke and Tina need to be endgame I will literally throw up everywhere if they do a future episode and Tina ends up with J-Ju. I know people really like Josh and Tina together but idk he just gives me this vibe, you know? Like I know he likes her for her but frankly he’s just not weird enough for her! Zeke likes her for her and is just as weird as she is. They’re literally perfect for each other. No I do not accept criticism.

Do You Know This (non-canon) Autistic Character?

Propaganda

This post from submitter:

The thing about Tina Belcher that I think gets lost on people is that she actually IS autistic. I feel like the show tries to deny it because they don't want to be associated with promoting negative stereotypes, but she is spot on. I see so much of myself in her character, it's not even funny.

She's incredibly awkward, she speaks in that monotone that we're known for and has flat-affect, she's sassy as hell (but her comebacks are never quite 100%), she doesn't quite get certain social cues and comes off as a "psycho" to other girls her age, she gets angry very easily, and she's a stern rule-follower with an innate desire for justice where none exists.

And she does that thing where she tries to tell a joke but then feels the need to explain it or elaborate. That is so real, I can't even begin to say. ("My middle name is danger, but it's spelled Ruth.")

She's not a Sheldon Cooper. She's not a genius, she doesn't prattle on about trains, or really do anything else to fill the mold of a "stereotype." But she is different from her peers and family members. Ultimately, Tina's a character first, defined by her creativity and pre-pubescent horny girl behavior.

She is my idol. I adore her.

After years of being told I sucked at drawing by my teachers and peers, I told my brother I wanted to teach myself how to draw in my own style so I can express my headcanons and hyperfixations instead of trying to write when my brain won’t let me. He bought me my very first sketch book and pencils for Christmas which I’ve already decorated, and Tina Ruth Belcher is presiding. Sounds lame, but I’m so proud of myself🥹🩵

[dreamboundedstar]

Cute story that I think really captures the humor of the show well!

Summary:

And Zeke smelled so good, like cinnamon and sweat.

Can we hear about the zekina sugar baby au!

(i just screamed "oh god" into my hands lmaoooo) so this one is inspired by a Fexi fic i read a while back. basically Tina is downing in student loan debt (so relatable lmao) and her bestie Jimmy Jr. is a sugar baby who has been trying to convince her to get into the business so that she can get some money to pay it off. she finally agrees and is matched up with Zeke, who comes from new money and needs a fake girlfriend to get his mom off his back about dating and not being alone. they end up falling in love and there's a lot of smut lol. there's not a whole lot to this one but here's a snippet:

He poked his head out and frowned at her. “This is a job, Tina. Don’t be judgemental.” “I’m not!” She held up her hands in surrender then lowered them back down to her lap. “I guess I just can’t see anyone wanting to pay for my company.” “Girl, shut up.” He rolled his eyes at her. “Anyone would be lucky to spend time with you, I keep telling you! You’d make bank, T. You’re hot!” He pulled himself back into his room, calling to her, “Some guy would be super excited to show off his hot girlfriend at a gala, deck you out in diamonds and designer!” Tina sighed and rolled her eyes fondly. “I just don’t think I’m sugar baby material. I’m not that hot–” “Tina Ruth Belcher, you shut your mouth before I slap you!” “Sorry, sorry.” Not wanting to risk him actually coming out and slapping her, she resigned herself to silence as she checked her bank account. And winced. Yikes. Looks like her phone bill and her loan payment had come out this week. Looks like she’d be eating ramen again for the next few weeks. Jimmy came out of his room and frowned when he saw the look on her face. “Uh oh. What is it?” “I’m broke. Again.” She leaned her head back and closed her eyes, one hand raising to rub her temples as she felt a headache coming on. “Getting really tired of fighting starvation.” “I’m sure if you talked to your dad, he would give you a raise–” “No,” she shook her head, opening her eyes and giving the boy a firm look. “I’m not going to bother him with this. I knew what I was in for when I took the loan out.” “You thought you’d have someone to help you pay it,” Jimmy Jr. argued, crossing his arms and frowning at her. “I could lend you some money–” “No.” Here they went again, he tried this argument every month. Didn’t he ever give up? “You need your money, I’m not going to take it.”
