You Ain’t The Only One On The “Stinky Is Cute” Bandwagon Chief! I Love That Big Nosed, Freak Of

Well narratively speaking it was to make the easy innuendo. In terms of character, Tina was probably instructed by Louise to get Zeke because they needed a "hammer" for the whack-a-toe while Louise and Gene gathered the others during recess to speed the process. Tina kept it brief with JJ because she would take any skill he could bring to the team just so she could be with him, even though she wasn't asked to add him. It's the Belchies all over again! She also probably kept it vague for JJ so he would be curious enough to follow her and see what the heck is going on. Still, it is adorable to see Zeke getting so enthusiastic about the prospect of winning a dune buggy.

By rewatching S9e2 I noticed (along with before) that Tina only informed Zeke about the plan and he automatically agreed to help. Though Zeke is always a helper to others but bit more so with Tina. And what really gets me is that she explained it to Zeke but not Jjr. I don't know how to take it but it's definitely a different level. Because she would always try to include Jjr first on things and doing the opposite with others by trying to ignore mostly. Probably just looking into this too much but I'm really intrigued by this.

I don't know if the fact that Bob thinks Zeke is going to captain a loud, overpriced booze cruise ship at the Wonder Wharf when he is older is funny, sad, or both?! LOL

Spoilers for Episode 106, "Getting SOME Answers" of "Shadows of the Old World"

I wanted to make fanart for "Shadows of the Old World" ever since I binged all the episodes I had been holding off on for months (so, so many episodes). More specifically, I wanted to draw fanart involving Flint and Olwen because I love their friendship. It's also a sort of love triangle with another player and his character, Adrian. It's one-sided atm for Flint's side while Olwen gives "sees him as her little buddy" energy. Meanwhile, Olwen has eyes for Adrian, but she's way too insecure and full of past trauma to see herself as deserving of love period. Even if the AdrianxOlwen ship is more popular than FlintxOlwen and is more likely to be endgame because of it, I'm still rooting for Flint because he's a short king! I like what I like, sue me! XD Anyway, beyond the" keeping reading" is just a comic of my interpretation of what happened in between during the end of an encounter but before the start of an interrogation. I know the majority of my followers don't follow me for DnD fanart. So to those that don't give a flying fig about spoilers for a series you are never going to watch, I hope you like the art. Also for credits, "Shadows of the Old World" is a @joshscorcher DnD campaign series he posts on Youtube. It's the sequel series for his OG series, "Welcome to the Show". Flint is Finn_the_Pony's character while Olwen is FieryAramau's character. You can find both on Twitter, though Finn also has a youtube channel.

@konfuse It’s fine. She technically does but it’s Pearl’s voice actress and not her own separate voice actress. I’m not mad, it’s cool. I was just doing some wishful thinking. It’s more likely a fusion or a different character entirely. Although I’ve heard theories that it’s most likely a peridot fusion due to the range the voice actress can go with her voice. It’s similar to Peridot’s range of tone. I’m not saying it’s Lapidot, though. Sure Lapis is more friendly to Peridot now but that doens’t mean she’s ready for fusion again. I don’t see her ever doing it again anytime soon unless Steven is in danger. Just look at one of Roundtable videos about the subject. I don’t remember the title but he has some examples of Ashley Bursch voice work.

Not that’ I’m against a Lapidot fusion. Although, if I want to speak honestly I would prefer to see an Amedot fusion before Lapidot. I don’t care which one goes first, though I’m flexible. As long as it’s believeable. I trust the story is in good hands.

SU - Gem Harvest

Okay so I’m gonna go ahead and call it now

> half-hour special

> new voice actor recently announced 

> Peridot and Lapis are in it

Aquamarine. Peridot and Lapis are gonna fuse. 

That’s my prediction. I know it’s a long shot, since it’s most likely just a Halloween special of sorts, BUT the possibilities are not mutually disclusive. I will choose to hope!

Tumblr, Native Hawaiians need your help!

So the gist of it is the construction of the 30 meter telescope on top of Mauna Kea is starting. Its peak is 4,207.3 m above sea level, making it the highest point in the state of Hawaii. Which is why it is deemed the perfect place for the telescope. The only thing is, Mauna Kea is sacred land, our ancestors never built on top of Mauna Kea and for good reason. Sacred land is to never be messed with. It's a burial ground for native Hawaiians' most revered ancestors, and believed to be a peak created by the gods as a place from which humans can ascend to heaven. A lot has been taken away from native Hawaiians and there is already telescopes built on Mauna Kea we do not need anymore desecration of our land. Please help me and my people by signing this petition. Sharing it will help our cause a lot. Follow @protectmaunakea

A little thought after a little science read 

So exciting!

@mambocat I think that is bloodstone also known as heliotrope

If you can guess the gem, you can guess who you’re going to meet tomorrow night on a brand new Steven Universe!

These sketches made think about exactly one of the many reasons I ship these two dorks. Aside from their quirks having so much potential synergy for combo moves (https://archiveofourown.org/works/13234497 This fic explores this fact and I wish more Kacchako stories did too. I want to see Kacchako do a supernova move darn it! XD), I also feel their quirks also just work together metaphorically. Feeling of sparks and floating are both synonymous with the feelings people say happen when you're holding someone's hand, kissing, or just in love in general. Like, it hurts just how much potential symbolism this ship has! XD Also, Bakugo proudly saying their kiss was so powerful it caused a power outage is just really cute and I love it! X3

"We don't need the lights to continue-"

"Katsuki, that's my nose."

(Had a power outage randomly in my building. This is what I drew while the lights were out lol.)

@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
