Bakugo Headcanon (My Hero Academia Season 7 and Beyond Spoilers)

This is probably more than a shower thought than anything, but since after the war, Katsuki has one of his arms injured to the point he was advised to not use that arm for his quirk unless he takes physical therapy seriously for a long time. Even then it was possible his quirk wouldn't work the same way as it used to with that arm. With that in mind, here's my headcanon. I headcanon that like Izuku, Bakugo finally uses his gosh darn legs to use his quirk to give himself a boost in the air. Uraraka and Bakugo canonically have the same designer, and she was able to get boots that give her a boost of speed in the air while her quirk is activated. So I see no reason why Bakugo can't find a way for his boots to be able to sneakily collect sweat into boot storage tanks without restricting his movements (especially after his quirk awakening). Before his quirk awakening, I understand why he didn't do that because his nitroglycerin sweat was only connected to his palms. So if he wanted such an improvement for his costume he would need to save up cannisters of his sweat to fill up hypothetical, boot, storage tanks. He would also need to think strategically about how he uses them because of it being a finite supply. It's also very gross and as a germaphobe, Katsuki would never want to do that when he could just use his freaking hands! XD After his quirk awakening though, he has no such limitations like finite, palm sweat supplies anymore, so I just feel it seems thematically fitting for him to use hypothetical, boot storage tanks now just like how earlier in the manga Izuku went from just using hands for One-For-All to using his legs to properly balance the damage he takes from the quirk. My thoughts are definitely not original since I'm sure bigger MHA fans who are smarter than me already thought this over years ago and incorporated it into fanfictions that I haven't read yet. Regardless, I'm still a person that has a right to blab to the ether, regardless of if it's an original thought or not. TLDR: Bakugo update your gosh darn boots so you don't need to use just your hands (hand) to fly and you aren't forced to use your teeth to carry people to safety! XD That's it, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong because of something in the MHA lore I wasn't privy too. Just be nice about it please, I'm just a casual fan that wanted to get a shower thought/headcanon off her chest. XD

That’s fine it’s just a headcanon I had for a while for Edmund to give him more development as a character. This isn’t just some random diagnosis just because. I do have some reasoning for my headcanon. It mostly comes from “Mudbowl” and “Friday the 13th”. In both episodes he is shown to be easily distracted. Out of all the bullies they show in the football game, Edmund seems to be the one they show to be the most confused out of all them with Arnold’s, in Helga’s words “loopy plays” as they make it a point to show Wolfgang slamming Edmund to the ground (almost twice until Phoebe intervened). It’s not just in the game though, earlier on in the episode he’s distracted at copying Wolfgang by pointing at the fourth graders until Wolfgang has to literally drag out of the scene by the collar. In “Friday the 13th” he is shown to be distracted twice when chewing gum, not noticing Wolfgang’s annoyance of him supporting Gerald’s sly, dance moves or not immediately laughing at his “clever” joke.

ADD could possibly, maybe explain his apathy towards Wolfgang near the end of the episode, being easily bored of the situation since we found out earlier in the episode he’s not superstitious (still wasn’t cool of him to not take his friend’s ridiculous fear seriously though).

This part is more speculation than the rest, but I like to think that him playing Kings Rule shows he has some creativity in that mind of his. ADD people are usually known for their out of the box thinking. He was the one the planted the idea in Wolfgang’s mind that started the bet in “Chocolate Boy” in the first place

There’s also that “laugh and agree” moment in the “Grand Prix episode, but I can’t tell if that was him daydreaming/distracted or just not caring to kiss up to Wolfgang until he was told to? So, I don’t bother counting that.

In the end, I’m aware that most of this could just come down to he’s just an idiot and nothing more to it. I just wanted to add something that doesn’t just pin him to being dumb because that’s boring. Though it’s definitely reassuring to know that you actually know somebody in your life that could give you that realistic perspective on things. Thank you for your time, even your “none answer” still means something to me. 

Hey, I wanted to talk about Edmund again because why not. I've talked about this before with other people, but I wanted to ask you since you were open to more Edmund asks. Anyway, I headcanon that Edmund has ADD. Do you think that makes sense with the limited screen time he has had or do you think he has something else?

I haven’t seen any evidence to ADD. My mom has ADD and it was... an experience, growing up with someone who wanders off at random and has difficulty holding conversations or listening at all. I can’t remember any instances where Edmund seemed easily distractible, but maybe I’m wrong. I’d need some examples for why you hold that headcanon. 

Tbh, I don’t really think a lot about what kind of disorders characters have unless it’s glaringly apparent there’s something going on with them and/or it reminds me of something I’ve already seen. Like when my friend said Arnie is autistic, everything just kinda lined up in my head and suddenly made sense and it’s always cool when that happens with a character. Sid has anxiety and OCD, Miriam’s of course depressed, I’ve always headcanoned Arnold as having ADD actually. But it doesn’t happen often that I diagnose characters. I focus more on behaviors and the experiences that might have inspired those behaviors. That's just more enjoyable to me. Sorry that’s kind of a boring none-answer, lmao. 

You know Tina, Zeke technically shared his gum with you. Just saying! XD Another negative point for Jimmy Jr.! Hopefully, you act better in "So You Stink You Can Dance" or "Comet-y of Errors" if you're in that episode.

For transparency's sake, I'm the anon. Thank you so much! I didn't expect you to do so many. I was basically expecting just Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, and Akito if you chose to do it period. You went way above my expectations good job! This is all so awesome and the artifact choices are hilarious. (at least most of them anyway while some make me sad like Kisa's and Momji's) Part of me thinks Tom and Jerry or The Princess Bride (for the ROUS) would have been a good choice for Yuki's artifact as well but Ratatouille is just as good of a choice. While all of the chosen negations are fitting I do have one suggestion for Hatori. Since remember is already an artifact in the UU universe, I have a different suggestion. Since Hatori's partially blind I feel his negation should be unseen. You know the saying, "What is seen can't be unseen"?

Unseen negates people's ability to see things (or in Sean's case originally, just himself). Hatori's interpretation of the negation is him taking away people's ability to see the memories they choose to forget. Therefore, making it an external negation instead of a self-targeting one like Sean's was. After all his power is more like hypnotism, the memories are still there, they just can't see them anymore. This is why characters that chose to forget can't associate with the forgotten much anymore because there's still a chance for unseen to wear off based on people's opinions of the forgotten and their mind subconsciously choosing to see the memories again. Unremember it's still good, I just think unseen fits well with Hatori's partial blindness. Irony and all the jazz.

I’ve said a few times in the past that Undead Unluck was basically if Fruits Basket was a action shonen instead of a slice of life shoujo. Whether if that comparison still holds weight or not, do you think you could give some of the Fruits Basket cast some negation abilities if it’s possible please?

Not all of them of course, just the ones that you feel you can have the easiest time figuring out with. Thank you for taking the time to read this regardless.

Only a small portion of characters actually have something that resembles a power aside from the transformation abilities, so where there isn't a power, I'm going to take inspiration from their personalities, actions or character arcs

Tohru, Unaffected- negates the effects of other Negator abilities that target her

Kyo, Unhuman- negates his own humanity, turning him into a monster; because of his own interpretation of the monster as his true self, he is able to seal it away with his prayer beads, believing them to work as a sort of glamour; though he won't turn into his monster form with the seal, he can still turn into a cat when not in control of his emotions

Yuki, Unaffiliated - negates emotional connections with others; while others may want to form a connection with him, the act of trying to do so will be met with a feeling of emotional distance, as if there is some kind of mental wall preventing the connection from being made; turns into a rat with Artifact Ratatouille

Hatsuharu, Unrestrained - negates his own self-restraint, causing him to act without inhibition; because of his interpretation, this manifests as a split personality rather than a constant state of wonton violence and debauchery; turns into a cow with Artifact Raging Bull [Note: I considered Cowboy Bebop]

Kisa, Untell - negates her ability to communicate with others, resulting in her inability to speak; turns into a tiger with Artifact Life of Pi

Momiji, Unfamiliar- negates Momiji's "family;" the closer a family member is to Momiji, the more distant they will feel, manifesting in his own parents being completely unaware of his existence; the Sohma family is widespread enough that Momiji identifies them more as his community than his family, allowing them to be aware of him; turns into a rabbit with Artifact Watership Down

Hatori, Unremember - negates a target's memories; turns into a sea dragon with Artifact How to Train Your Dragon

Ayame, Unashamed - negates any sense of shame within Ayame, allowing him to act in any way that he pleases without guilt or fear of repercussions; similar to Hatsuharu's Unrestrained, but where Unrestrained forces one to act on impulse and without thought, Unashamed allows one to commit to their actions with absolute conviction; turns into a snake with Artifact Snake Eyes

Rin, Untrusting - negates her ability to trust others; this manifests as immediate disbelief in what others say or claim they will do; can be viewed as an internal-targeting version of Yuki's Unafilliated; turns into a horse with Artifact Secretariat

Hiro, Unkind - negates his own ability to be kind, causing him to be rude or mean to people; because of his youth and lack of understanding of what it means to be truly unkind, Hiro manages not to act explicitly cruel, though maturity runs the risk of corrupting his personality through his interpretation; turns into a sheep with Artifact Shaun the Sheep

Ritsu, Uncalm - negates feelings of calm in Ritsu, causing him to feel constant anxiety, fear and panic; turns into a monkey with Artifact Planet of the Apes

Kureno, Unbound - negates Kureno's bonds; because of his circumstances, this refers specifically to his loyalty to Akito, making him capable of disobeying Akito; turns into a bird with Artifact Chicken Run

Shigure, Undoubt - negates feelings of doubt towards Shigure in others, making them easier to manipulate; Rin's Untrusting makes her immune to this ability; turns into a dog with Artifact Shaggy Dog

Kagura, Unmatched - negates her ability to be matched in combat by increasing her physical strength beyond normal levels; turns into a boar with Artifact Pig in the Big City

Akito, Unquestion - negates any feelings of defiance or disloyalty that a target may have toward Akito under the condition that they are viewed as beneath Akito; in this case, as Akito is the head of the Sohma Family, this applies to all members of the Sohma Family

Hana, Unhidden - negates the ability of others to hide things from Hana, which by her interpretation manifests as the ability to read the waves emanating from a target

Sneak Peek Sunday: she really is a funny girl

[I know I missed the last two weeks, sorry! Life be happening.]

I’m trying a thing this month where I plan to share a little bit of a fic I’m working on every Sunday, and we’re swerving back to Bob’s Burgers this week! @qilin-crusader sent a prompt for a Tina/Zeke Beauty and the Beast AU to @tacosandtouchtanks (found here) and expressed interest when I said I had an idea for how I wanted to parody the opening song from the Disney movie. (This is part of the opening scene, so there’s no Tina/Zeke yet, just setup.)

Word count is roughtly 1500, Tina’s POV, set the summer after The Bob’s Burgers Movie, no major warnings

“It’s just until Linda gets back,” Bob explains. “She’s in Florida helping her parents with something, so I’m manning the counter… and the grill … and bussing the tables when I can, but… it’s fine. Here. It’s – we’ve got it… fine.”

“Hmm,” says Mr. Fischoeder. “Have you considered child labor in the meantime?”

Tina leans over so she can see out the cook’s window. She waves her spatula at the two men. “Hi.”

“She’s fourteen,” Dad tells Mr. Fischoeder. “It’s not that illegal.”

“I’m not here to judge, Bob,” says Mr. Fischoeder.

“Really?” says Dad. “Because it kind of seemed like you were a minute ago.”

In celebration of the new season coming out in a day or two, here's the Belcher kids, Zeke, and Jimmy Jr aged up. This is part two of the headcanon thing I made a while ago. https://www.tumblr.com/qilin-crusader/690246122471636992/bobs-burgers-question-and-adult-belcher-kids-and?source=share I slightly updated my headcanon though and now feel that Louise would have made the "Broken Glass Kids" a real gang and Zeke as well as Linda are a part of her gang. Louise's gang is still small but she's working on it, she just appreciates being part of a group that appreciates the thrill of smashing glass items and burning other items. To explain Zeke's tattoos. On the left arm is a gardenia on his upper arm while the rest of his arm is wrapped up in weeds. On the right side is a harpoon stabbing a bleeding heat and the blood drips to the bottom and forms an ocean. So he has a beach arm, I was going to give him a Saucy tattoo to add on to the beach arm, but I thought it was too silly and declined it.

As for Gene, I thought it would fit him to give him a skort. All the fun of a skirt and the sex appeal of shorts. I also think it would just fit Gene's love of being a goofball that always surprises you. For Louise's hair, I combined Bob's mom's hair and the top of Bob's hair as well. I want to bring the feels of her looking a little like Bob's mom and taking after her dad with her hairstyle because she will always be a daddy's girl whether she admits it or not. Looks like Tina took Topsy's advice and pulled her hair back. I wanted to combine the vision of older Tina with longer hair as well as pulling her hair back because she looks good showing her whole face. I didn't even need Topsy to tell me that because I dug her no bangs look during the stage fright flashback when Tina didn't stop the hairdresser from cutting all of her bangs off. Tina's glasses were originally going to be blue until I saw that they were too many blue glasses-wearing characters. I changed it to yellow since her barrette would be hiding anyway. It worked out because I found out that Tina's eyes are blue so the yellow glasses will be a great contrast. I also thought a cowl neck sweater dress would fit her because I like to imagine her using the cowl neck to hide her face in shame or awkwardness. I also gave her the choker necklace because I like it too. For Jimmy Jr, I decided to give him dance shoes so he looks like he's always ready to dance. Also, I decided to give him a goatee because he would probably wear one to spite his dad and his butt chin. Anyway, hope you dig the designs. Tina's is probably my favorite. Edit 10/4/2022: I changed Zeke's facial expression and gave Tina, Gene, and Zeke some earrings. Edit 10/09/2022 I changed Zeke's designs because I started hating his pants. I gave him cargo shorts instead. I also gave Zeke's shirt very short sleeves that were inspired by @bluebirbbs design. They are very short though because I didn't want to cover his tattoos. I gave Zeke more facial hair compared to the three lines in his old design. I liked his soul patch in the season 12 finale and gave him some stubble because I thought it fit him. The biggest reason I wanted to give him shorts was because of the leg hair. I wanted to show him as a hairy guy but I couldn't do it with his arms because of the tattoos so I went with legs instead.

My Opinion On “Kung Fu Panda: Paws of Destiny”

I decided to make this because I don’t a lot of people really talk about this series and I personally would like more people to know about it so more people can express their opinions on it

I’m going to list my pros and cons and then I’m going to state my overall opinion. There is no specific order for these lists. I’m adding them as soon as they pop into my head

Pros.

1. Po is not the entitled, lazy brat he was in “Legends of Awesomeness”. That alone is something I can gladly say about the show.

2. Sassy grandma panda is a delight.

3. I adore the use of songs with Chinese lyrics when doing montage sequences and one beautiful love song. It’s those little details that make me appreciate a series. Now if only I spoke Mandarin Chinese.

4. I only find 1 out of four of the Panda kids grating (more on that in cons). Nu Hai is my favorite.

5. I think the show has great antagonists, both the comedic and serious ones.

6. Mei Mei is a fabulous drama queen. Even though, I’m a Tipo shipper I’m not as bother with her conversing with Po. I find their interactions hilarious with how uncomfortable she makes him feel.

7. I personally like the use of the Four Constellations because I love Chinese mythology and I don’t mind the show having fantasy elements to it. After all, the first movie’s conflict ended with a magical equivalent of “pull my finger”.

8. The character models are leagues above the previous spinoff show on Nick.

9. I enjoyed binge-watching the whole season. However, I recommend you don’t do it all in one day. I feel it is best to space out the time you watch the episodes. I kind of got tired of the show after watching it all in one day. Then again, I was watching it during a time when I had booked schedule, so I didn’t allow myself breathing time for the show when I should of.

Cons:

No Furious Five and Shifu. I accepted the fact before watching the show that the Furious Five were probably not going to appear. That still doesn’t change the fact that it sucks that the Furious 5 didn’t interact with the Panda kids. I get that Po has to be the main teacher. I’m not asking them to be in all the episodes. I just feel that it would have been nice if the Furious 5 dropped by in one episode, tell the panda kids about their experiences in kung fu lessons, and drop by in the grand finale to help in the final battle. Heck, it would have been so easy to pick which Furious to help which student. Each would have had at least two of the Furious Five that would help them with one thing or another.

Nu Hai: Tigress (by default because she has an action figure of her) and Viper (she would help Nu Hai with flexibility and she is the closest thing to a dragon out of all the Furious Five).

Jing: Tigress (because she’s a tiger, I also feel this could cause a conflict with Nu Hai if Tigress started requiring to spend a little more time with Jing than her. Just something to challenge Nu Hai and Jing’s friendship. I just personally don’t like that in the show they’re best friends, but they don’t really show reasons why besides they’re both girls. Plus, the dragon and tiger are supposed to be rivals. so that would have been great for symbolism), Crane (He could have helped with her issues in confidence in her own abilities) and Mantis (Mantis is sort of the defacto healer of the group and could have helped her with patience about her powers).

Fan Tong: Crane (the closest thing to a phoenix in the group. Crane also could have help Fan Tong with his confidence issues), Viper (she could have helped him with his own bravery problems by talking about her own when she was younger), Tigress (She could have had a moment with Fan Tong that even the most hardcore of creatures can still be scared), and Monkey (I could see them practicing with staffs together to help him hone his skills with a sword).

Bao: Mantis (Given that he got the turtle, Mantis would be perfect in helping him with being patient and more precise. You know, because turtles are slow.), Monkey (He could talk to Bao about being more compassionate to other people and help Bao let go of his entitlement issues.)

Po would obviously still be their main teacher for all of the kids. It just would have been nice for them to drop by and give their own words of wisdom to the kids. Oh well, it didn’t happen so all we can do is just accept it and move on. Who knows, maybe we’ll be able to see them in season two (I won’t hold my breath on that though).

Lastly, Shifu was just as much of an influence on Po as Oogway was and I feel he deserves to be there to help the panda just as much as the dead tortoise. I would also love to see him banter with Mr. Ping and Li Shan as a sort of father ragtag group of friends or something. XD

2. I really could do without the use of modern quotes like “cuteness overload” or “I can’t even” in Ancient China. A character even mentioned pizza in one episode.

3. Bao is leaning towards to being basically LOA Po in child form and I hate it.

4. I can’t stand those cutesy rodents and their high pitched voices. How old are they supposed to be anyway?

5. Giant Spider, Nuff said. I can only suspend my disbelief so much for this show, but I can’t fathom this thing could ever exist in the official canon. At least this is just a noncanon spinoff like LOA.

6. Bunnidharma. I just found him really annoying and oddly designed because we already have a cuter design for rabbits. It doesn’t help that he is voiced by James Sie, Monkey’s VA in LOA.

7. A character mentioned a character called in Ke-Pa in the show. Please leave LOA out this, thank you. I don’t care if it turns out to be a different Ke-Pa, they knew what they were doing!

8. Some episode plots or arcs can be sort of predictable, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad it’s just something that could be improved upon.

Overall, “Kung Fu Panda: Paws of Destiny” is not perfect by any means. I found some things in this show grating when I binged the first season. I think it’s worth watching at least once to get a feel of the series. I personally liked the show and found some moments funny or interesting. My personal favorite scene is a scene with Mr. Ping, a cart, and a pink background.

Although, I won’t lie there will be moments in this show when you’ll probably be thinking how this is definitely something the Furious 5 and Shifu should have witnessed, especially the finale. I still like the show and the characters that already exist in it (except for Bao, Bunnidharma, and those annoying panda cub sized rodents). I only hope that more people will watch the series so we can get a season two. If anything, I just really want season two to happen in hope that maybe Shifu and the Furious 5 will finally make an appearance. If not, I will still in enjoy it for Po.

I hope this post made a difference for you in some way. Stay awesome!

@alittlefan Hi, I was the one that requested that for who knows how long. I did that before I convinced myself to get a tumblr account. it’s alright, I understand. Thanks for keeping it the inbox for so long. I just figured it was a silent no after awhile. Do whatever you want. I fine with or without the sketch. I appreciate you at least thought about doing it. Thank you! ^-^

Could you please draw a sketch of Jane in a dress looking the opposite direction of tux Ronaldo? P.S. It doesn't have to be colored unless you want to. Thank you for reading this post and possibly the request as well.

I’m so sorry for not having drawn this nor responding to you properly. I don’t know when or if I’ll do it. I kept this ask in storage in hopes that I’d finally motivate myself do draw this and now it’s been a good few months and you probably forgot all about it and- ugh. Sorry. Maybe one day. Idk.

@tacosandtouchtanks Okay, I just wanted to update you that I made a decision a day or two ago but haven't said anything till now. Here's the thing, I decided for my touch tank idea I would do the creatures that could actually appear in a touch tank. This is the best option so Tina can project onto the touch tank creatures in her moment of crisis. So sadly, shrimp is not an option anymore for the touch tank idea. In better news, I now have my cast. Zeke: Sea cucumber (obviously that's not going to change) Tina: Sea urchin (kina specifically) Jimmy Jr.: Starfish (Not required to read this part, I'm just explaining the reasons for my choice through the power of synopsis XD)

While perhaps when Tina was 13 she probably dreamt of herself as a starfish. As she gets older though her anxiety gets to her and now through her narrow perspective, she sees herself as a sea urchin. So say after her break up with Jimmy Jr. She leaves her childhood home to find herself. Along the way, she has given up on finding her soulmate and only goes on casual dates. There's still that idealism inside her but she keeps it hidden through her spines of denial and suppression of her feelings. So while she's not expecting to find her soul mate on the first date, she would still hope to at least find a guy that's worth more than 1 date. She goes to the touch tank to try to relax and reflect on all that led up to now. She starts to hate her own reflection because she hates how she fears intimacy now when that's all she ever wanted. She believes that all her attempts at relationships just ended up hurting someone one way or another. She believes all she ever does is make things worse and that even though she wants intimacy, she'll never be able to truly be accepted by someone. Even now, as she's back in her childhood home, Zeke has been determined to try to start a relationship with her. While she feels an emotional connection with him after years of friendship, even then she keeps him at a distance because she's comfortable with the relationship they have already. Deep down, she also doesn't want to admit the superficial reason why she hasn't given Zeke a chance. She simply wasn't attracted to him physically. She doesn't want what happened with Henry Haber and her to happen to him, Zeke doesn't deserve that. She's scared that emotional connection won't be strong enough to overcome her stupid type preference. After all, her own mother left her fiance for her dad simply because he had a sexy mustache. Who's to say that she wouldn't do the same to Zeke? Just the thought of that kills her. So to her, it's better for her to keep it as just friendship with Zeke even if maybe she might even want to give him a chance. She's just too superficial and it's better if he just realizes she's not worth it and moves to someone who deserves him more than she ever did. She drifts off into an aquatic-themed daydream as she immerses her hands in the water again. As a sea urchin, she tried so many ways to find love in the beautiful starfishes of the world. Unfortunately, even though both creatures have regeneration abilities, none of the starfishes wanted anything to do with her because of how unapproachable she looked and how awkward she acted. In turn, Sea Urchina (I'm just going to use this for sea urchin Tina and do puns for the rest) tries her hardest by consuming as many algae as she can to clean the ocean. Sadly, she would overdo it in the end and the algae she consumed killed a kelp forest. This made her relations with the entire ocean worse when all she wanted to do was help and show she was more than her appearance. So she closes herself off from others, thinking no one would miss her anyway. No one was willing to get close to her because of the spines and how the spines would affect them. She tried so hard to make it work with Starry Jr, but even she eventually grew tired of the two constantly regenerating from each other's attempts at a relationship. She had her sea urchin family to turn to at least. She had adjusted to their spines so she could handle their jabs because she knew it all came from love. Even so, she still longed to be accepted as she was from at least one outside her family. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life thinking all she did was make everything worse for the other fish.

Then along came Zeke U. Cumber. Despite her insecurities telling her, she's better off keeping her distance from other fish so no one gets hurt. Zeke U. Cumber reminds Sea Urchina that while she did destroy the kelp forest, things weren't as bad as they seemed. The aftermath of the kelp forest made it a great space for urchins, sea cucumbers, and even starfish, though none of the starfish will admit it. So even if didn't work out the way Sea Urchina planned, the ocean will still be a better place because she's in it. Sea Urchina will never be able to tell how Zeke U. Cumber is able to make the best out of the worst of situations. He was always making the world a better place, he even let shrimp ride him as well as crabs,  polychaete worms, and pearlfish live in his anus just so they can be safe. Zeke U. Cumber had nothing to gain from being so helpful but he did it anyway, he even helped her see that she's not the bane of the ocean's existence. Originally, she dreamed of being seen as someone as wonderful as a starfish despite being a sea urchin. She thought she could never bring anything other than pain to those she wanted to be close to, so she stopped trying. Then along came an optimistic sea cucumber to show her that she's already wonderful on her own and even if the whole ocean doesn't see it that way, she still did her part in helping and making a difference. Tina comes back from her daydream and realizes how much of a fool she's been. For years Zeke has been supporting all his friends, including her for years with nothing in return. He was always there to support his friends but who was there to support him? Even in her own daydream, she used Zeke as a way to pick herself up but never did it for him. She thinks of Zeke's warm smile, how he always makes the best of a situation even if it's crappy. She thinks of how Zeke at times has the energy of a hyper bulldog and how adorable it can be at times. She always had a thing for accents, it wasn't a foreign one but it was still an accent. She has her suspicions that Zeke has been working on his glutes, so maybe... Wait, holy crap! Was she actually attracted to Zeke? Maybe this could actually work and she was overthinking it? She's not 13 anymore so perhaps she can overcome her type preference and find the unique ways that make Zeke attractive after all. I mean she had an emotional connection with Zeke, something that she didn't have with Henry Haber. So maybe it was because of her emotional attraction to Zeke she was able to overcome what she usually liked in a guy. It was more than that though, she was done being selfish. Zeke has never given up on her even when she gave him every reason to do so. She wants to be the one to give back to him. She wants to support him after years of him supporting everyone. She wants to be there to comfort him when the mask came off and he's vulnerable. Even if the thought of messing things up and hurting him scares her. She believes without a doubt that they can overcome it because Zeke is stubborn as a mule and she's never getting rid of him. She runs back to the restaurant to find Zeke and starts giving back. It wasn't going to be easy for her to overcome her lingering anxiety. She knows in the end it will be worth it once she finally lets go and let Zeke into her inner world. It was time for this sea urchin to stop being spineless.

Zekina Touch Tank Idea I Could Use Help On:

Okay, it's so super clear to me that the sea cucumber is the perfect sea creature to represent Zeke. There's just so much about the sea cucumber that relates to Zeke in hilarious ways. The most important one is that the sea cucumber is that it's a creature that is always helping others but rarely gets anything back. The majority of their relationships are more commensal than symbiotic, they aren't being harmed but they aren't gaining anything either. You can also do the pun Zeke u cumber. It's not the best pun but it's something. XD

My problem is that I don't know which sea creature could represent Tina. I have some candidates but I would really like some input as well because I'm not sure which is the best to choose? Here's the list I have so far. 1. Tuna (for the pun for Tina and an opportunity for Zeke to say "you tuna me on". A redemption for his canned Tina joke and general attitude in "Presto Tina-O" lol) 2. Kina (a New Zealand sea urchin and another Tina pun opportunity and an "I'm kina you" joke ((like I'm keen on you if that wasn't obvious already)), Sea urchins do eat sea cucumbers, but they also are part of the same family as sea cucumbers and starfish so make of that what you will) 3. Hermit Crab (least favorite option. While Saucy the hermit carb is important to Zekina lore, hermit crabs eat sea cucumbers so not a good choice) 4. Shrimp (Nothing pun-worthy, but shrimp does technically have the most symbiotic relationship to sea cucumbers, the shrimp still benefits more though. There's also something poetic you can do with shrimp seeing more colors than other creatures) 5. Sea Cucumber (I mean, I guess Tina probably could see herself as a sea cucumber as well, but this is my second least favorite option because it's boring) So I would appreciate any feedback on which one you like best for Tina. I really want a sea creature that fits Tina for her and Zeke's dynamic. My favorite is between the shrimp and the kina. Let the aquatic themes prevail for these two! XD
