Let's not drown to death this #AniMonday

I wanted to get the body mechanics right for when Linda snatches up Louise to get her to safety. My fellow animator friend Scott and his daughter were kind enough to do some #videoref for me. Always thankful to have such talented actors to help when I need it.

THIS POST WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE NEWEST BOB'S BURGERS EPISODE JADE IN THE SHADE‼️‼️ DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT OR DON'T WANT SPOILERS

I normally don't post thoughts on here about specific episodes but this episode was genuinely so good that I need to talk about it.

First: some smaller details that I really like that aren't super big to the story

- this episode proves my theory that there are ways to give Louise an outfit that fits the triangle shape language without it being a dress. She is so cute in that outfit and I absolutely love her little boots

- the facial expressions and body language are so good, I absolutely love how they are adding more simple body language things to episodes recently to add more character. Examples:

- just louise's little bounces are so cute and Linda desperately trying to grab Louise cause she's scared about her kid idk it's just so good to me 😭

- also per usual the side plot was sweet, I absolutely love that moment where the tube guy has a light behind him like he was Jesus it was so funny to me 😭😭

- this is like the first time an episode has heavily referenced past happenings before. Like they constantly Talk about the movie AND they're in the hotel they were at for that Halloween episode in I think season 10. I absolutely love that they talked about the movie

Now for more character driven moments that make me explode:

- smaller character moment but MR. FISCHOEDER ACTUALLY GIVING LOUISE MONEY IS SO SWEET LIKE HE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THIS FAMILY AND IS WILLING TO GIVE LOUISE SOME MONEY 😭😭😭😭😭 genuinely so good I absolutely love them 😭😭

- Logan's mom being really clingy actually explains a lot with Logan, and I know that they have done things like this in the past but I don't think it was as blatantly obvious. It's really good characterization for Logan and actually made me feel for Logan. LOGAN.

- Louise finally said the quiet part out loud where she doesn't think she's a kid. Like I'm pretty positive she's never said she doesn't think she's a child out loud before which is probably one of the best cases of show don't tell I've seen in a while, and now her saying she's not a kid feels natural.

- I love how Linda was taking care of one of her kids without being completely overbearing like she is with Gene and sometimes Tina. She's showing growth as a mother and starting to undo the trauma she went through as a kid

- this is my favorite part of the episode and the most blatant sign of character growth, BUT THE FACT THAT LOUISE ACTUALLY KEPT THE MONEY INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATELY SPENDING IT ALMOST BROKE ME. I was not expecting her to keep it and my immediate thought when it cuts to her hanging something up on her was like she bought the newspaper clip from the hotel or a copy of it to hang on her wall, but it cutting to the money was one of the best ways of subverting character expectations I have seen. This is probably my favorite character arc I've seen Louise go through and it's not even the biggest one 😭 AND LOOK AT HER FACE WHEN SHE HANGS IT UP TOO IM ILL 😭😭

Anyways, I hope y'all like my ramblings about the new episode, I'm thinking about doing something like his for every new episode this season cause I will most definitely need to rant and this is the best way I can think of without bombarding my friends with my thoughts. 😭

[ltwharfy]

I'm really amused by the fact that both of the past two seasons of "Bob's Burgers" have had an end credits sequence featuring Louise dancing the Charleston. I mean, it's adorable and I love old jazz music, so I'm not complaining, but it's just funny that they went a dozen years without having Louise dance the Charleston in the end credits (as far as I can recall) and now it's an annual thing.

Characters: all second years!

TWS: none!

a/n: you know i accidentally formatted them pretty similarly, but i think theres some gems in here lol

Kalim Al-Asim

-kalim has not a single bone in his body capable of being rude to someone, or to think of someone as less than because theyre a bit grumpy

-he treats you with the same excitement as anyone else!

-kalim has the biggest heart and would constantly ask if he can do anything to make you smile, he would buy a million balloons and throw you the biggest party known to man on your command

-it would honestly be a pretty big deal for him

-his partner in (love) crime cant smile? he thinks you cant hes unaware some people just dont smile

-sevens help you when he finds out you're ticklish

-you're a bonafide goner

-it probably happened when he was one day asking you about what makes your heart soar

-kalim being his extraself and using big hand gestures and that heart melting smile, whipping around a stuffed animal to demonstrate how he would have plenty of performers for you to watch should it make you smile

-the arm of the stuffed animal grazes your side, and you crack the most miniscule smile

-with the eyes of a hawk kalim zeros in, and he like pauses

-bye hes diving onto you and absolutely attacking you with his fingers faster than you can think

-byebye grumpy, hello painful ribs!

-this boy is absolutely over the moon when you literally can’t not smile

-hes the worlds happiest campe

Jamil Viper

-he appreciates your grumpy attitude not even gonna lie here

-you're less likely to do something reckless and get into trouble, saving him the trouble of having to constantly worry

-not that he doesn't worry about you, he doesn't particularly like that you sulk in the corner of rooms

-but hes glad he doesn't have to run around, lord knows he could use a rest

-hes kind of like you in that way

-jamil honestly isnt the type to initiate tickling so don't get your hopes up on that front

-someone else had to have introduced him to the fact ((((kalim))))

-jamil wasn't even in the room, you were simply hanging out with kalim and he happened to pass by, and he was absolutely entranced by the sound of your laughter

-idly stood watching like a freak in the doorway

-the smile across your face is a relief he didn't know he needed

-he wouldn't tell you he saw that, thats something he would like to keep in the most prestige condition in his memories

-souvenirs are better left inside

-but he definitely tries to sneakily run his hands up your sides when you cuddle, just to make you squirm and fight a grin

-his little plot to say he found out himself!

-hed never be a full on tickler, but he would definitely make you smile from those little touches <3

Ruggie Bucchi

-”you're a real stick in the mud”

-so he starts to lowkey harrass you

-always slipping things into your pocket, he breaks into your dorm to mess around and push things a bit too left or right

-anything to get you to lighten up at least a little

-tough luck, hyena, reader’s too busy scowling at the password change on their computer

-’hint: the hottest guy you know’ smooth ruggie

-you start slouching around him and giving him a crazy ass side eye when he tries to mess with you

-he takes it as a sign to kick it up a notch

-with his spare time, he lingers around you until you guys are alone, and when he certifies the coast is clear

-lol why r u tickling urself

-he used his signature on you good luck soldier he's absolutely dying when he sees you break out into a mix of laughter and completely confusion for a moment

-you're mad af but you literally can not do anything

-honestly he's probably laughing and smiling more than you, probably on the floor (so are you!!!)

-he absolutely makes a break for it when hes had enough

-this is your new life now, he will do it again

Riddle Rosehearts

-riddles a man of seriousness

-he's practically the fun police even after his overblot

-not in a mean way, hes just a strict guy

-and hes unappreciative of your grumbling about the rules, but enjoys that you go along with them

-honestly doesn't notice your lack of smiling until someone (trey) points it out to him

-riddle lowkey is terrible with reading people and their body language. very likely autistic im not gonna lie

-when hes told he has an epiphany and frets a little

-he begins to worry hes the reason you dont smile and are always grumbling and pouting

-so he tries to make it up to you

-studying with you, making sure you always have pink clothing for flamingo care, fixing your tea nightly

-hes a little off put when you dont even smile as you thank him

-you just naturally are inclined to being a bit of a grump, and you're stone faced cus. thats just how you are!

-lol riddle sees that little upturn of the corner of your lips

-have fun with them! theyre bothing tickling you

-when riddle comments on it, passingly teasing your smile, be sure to get him right back

-hes just as if not more ticklish

Azul Ashengrotto

-good luck dude

-youre life long friends with azul, hes KNOWN youre ticklish

-behind his working front, the sleaze, he knows how to have fun

-and if hes ever over your grumbles about the lounge and its customer base, when you get back to the dorms hes getting your ass

-everyone can use a laugh, he knows it, and that's exactly why he does it

-if youre too grumpy for too long? tickled.

-he wants to see you smile? tickled.

-HES having a bad day? lol tickled.

-uts been almost routine since you were kids

-chasing eachother under the water, messing around in fits of laughter and smiles

-you knew azul before the tweels, and when they joined in and first got introduced to the little game? bye they're ridiculous

-azul honestly could take a page out of his own book though. even if he tickles you to make his day brighter he doesn't always do this

-if your typical bringing him a snack, helping at the lounge, or other methods aren't working dont be scared to give him a taste of his own medicine back

-anytime you act like a grump around him hes got this look on his face like he's challenging you

-”yeah shrimpy?” ass

-azul doesnt find it as funny, driving away his business at what price??

i

-its a bit of a cycle

-cue lilia who has a big interest in silvers little situationship with you

-a beat passes before you're literally tackling the kid, and then he gets all mad and throws u back

-lol tickle fight

-who knew two grump stone face brickheads were so silly

[ltwharfy]

Last night's episode is the most I've ever empathized with Logan. Hanging out with your mom when you are a teenage boy can be the MOST embarrassing thing in the world. And it's probably even worse if your mom's Cynthia.

I love the way the "Bob's Burgers" writers can make me empathize with characters I thought I never would (see also Hugo in "Romancing the Beef" or Jimmy Pesto in "Prank You For Being A Friend").

“See? That’s why you don’t need a girlfriend, Logan.”

All of Cynthia’s finest moments embarrassing her son in Jade in the Shade
