#linda (and even gayle) deserve so much better tbh

who is your favorite bob's burgers character? what's your favorite aspect about them?? what's your LEAST FAVORITE??

Thank you so much @br1ghtestlight for giving me this ask!! 😭❣️ Just for the future, though, if anyone wants to give me an ask, it’ll have to be through this account, because any ask given through my main account disappears because I’m still Shadowbanned and Tumblr is mean 😒

But onto the actual question!! Well, Light, you already know my absolute favorite is 1,000% our precious baby boy, Gene. I think my favorite aspect about him is that he has some of the best lines in the show humor-wise, but he has a great deal of depth hidden underneath the surface. He’s genuinely an incredibly talented musician (even though he and show claims he only knows a few chords, come on, he’s actually super talented) and he’s such a sweet person. He doesn’t enjoy pranking people simply because it makes them confused and uncomfortable. He just wants people to be happy!! 🥺

He also has a bigger body type which is rarely commented on and he has a love of food which is super relatable to me (I just love food, pffffft). And the headcanons of him being Genderfluid gives me an insane amount of Serotonin. It just makes me insanely happy. As a Genderfluid person, it makes me feel seen and represented, even though he’s not canonically Genderfluid. Just seeing him be unapologetically himself is incredibly lovely.

Now, because there are just so many characters I love, I must list a second favorite. And that would be Bob!! Previously, I’ve said Linda, and don’t get me wrong, I still love her. She’s hilarious and amazing and truly the best wife (🎶 Best of Wives and Best of Women 🎶) but there’s just something about Bob that’s so relatable to me. He’s always tired but always tries his best. Not to mention that his passion for cooking and feeding people is just so sweet 🥹 He loves making food for people and having food bring people together!! It’s so lovely.

Bob is also super Introverted which I relate to very hard. He has a hard time making connections with other people, and has a tight-knit circle (AKA his family) that he prefers spending his time with. And he sometimes has difficulty talking to people without coming across as weird, which I also relate to. Plus, his little quirks are so endearing, like talking to inanimate objects and pretending they’re alive. And getting so hilariously excited about Thanksgiving 🤣

And Bob and Gene together brings one of the most underrated and sweetest relationships in the Belcher family. Their Father/Son relationship is always so adorable to see. The Laser-Inth will forever be my favorite Bob and Gene episode, and probably solidified these two as my favorites.

As for my least favorite, at first I was going to say that’s difficult, because I love almost every character in the show for one reason or another. But then I realized what the obvious choices are: Gloria and Al. They are the absolute worst. Linda deserves good, doting parents, and these two are the complete opposite of that in every way. Sure, maybe they were slightly better when Linda and Gayle were younger, but definitely not now. The Terminilator II: Terminals of Endearment really solidified just how awful they truly are.

Linda dropped everything to help them at the airport, even forcing Bob to close the restaurant for the rest of the day. Then the entire family went on a wild goose chase trying to track down both Gloria and Al, who somehow kept escaping from their line of sight. Only to find out that these two could’ve bought Al’s cream at the airport themselves the whole time. Not to mention the fact that they found out that Gloria just stole Bob’s charger and refuses to admit it. They keep making excuses for their horrible parenting and Linda just has to deal with it, which is wildly unfair.

Plus, Gloria once told Linda that they aren’t the type of people who build things?? Who says that to their daughter?? These two frustrate me to no end. Definitely the worst characters in the show, no contest.

Tina gets an honorable mention simply because of how relatable she is and how sweet she is. She just has such a kind heart like Gene (except when it comes to Tammy ☠️). But that’s okay, because Jimmy Jr. loves it when she’s mean 😌

As a treat for asking me this, here’s an image I found of the Burger Babies in Disney dresses!! Credit goes to whoever on Pinterest made this lovely image:

Also, because I need to be a gremlin every time I mention Gene, I’m going to promote Geneuary again, which begins on January 8!! Hype hype hype hype hype—

So this might be weird, but uh... Bob's Burgers? For the TV show thing? :O

funfact i really love bob’s burger. i don’t follow it regularly but if i find it on tv i have a really good time,,,

show asks [ACCEPTING]

my all-time ultimate fave character: time to be a normie and say louise,,,, baby gremlin who i love a lot

a character I didn’t used to like but now do: linda tbh. i started finding her annoying, but now i see her potential and she KILLS me the deliveries of her lines are perfect

a character I used to like but now don’t: N/A even the worst characters have something good to add to the show,,,

a character I’m indifferent about: couldn’t care less for gayle tbh :0

a character who deserved better: BOB!!! give that man a break

a ship I’ve never been able to get into: tina and jimmy. She Deserves Better

a ship I’ve never been able to get over: bob and linda give me strong homer/marge energy, but like. the opposite? like bob is clearly the straightman to linda’s bullshittery, but it’s clear they love eachother so much and I Stan(tm)

a cute, low-key ship: mmmmmmeh, i don’t really have ships

an unpopular ship but I still enjoyed it: ^^^^

a ship that was totally wrong and never should have happened: once again, shrugs emoji

my favourite storyline/moment: there’s uhhh. one episode where bob and louise are stuck somewhere hiding from bullies? and they have a very cute father-daughter moment and I Felt That ok, that was cute..........

a storyline that never should have been written: "Art Crawl”: that’s all i have to say

my first thoughts on the show: "eh, nobody’s on”

my thoughts now: incredibly cute and down to earth despite all the nonsense, gives strong early simpsons vibes both when it comes to the plots and the characters. in a world where adult cartoon shows focusing on families seem to be all following the Family Guy route of “everyone be rude and disgusting” it’s nice to see a family that genuinely feels like they care and love eachother,,
