Hii! It's me again , here for another set of hcs :D

Ok, so first of all I hope you're doing alright and feeling good <3 , second - here's the request - can I get what you think Zoro, Mihawk, Sabo and a character of your choice biggest pet peeve/s are? (￣ε￣＠) Also would you like to do some more modern au in the future , cuz I'm thinking of requesting smth like that next?

*sends virtual hugs*

a/n - hi error!! Aw thank you, I’m doing alright and I hope you’re having a great day :D ohhhh my god I love this (mihawk has so many peeves lmao) and yes ofc! I love modern au stuff, I always love your requests, here’s a hug <3

Warnings ⚠️ - mihawk is literally so triggered lmao, none

Mihawk

- this man is that type of guy who gets all grossed out by the word “moist”

- pls he literally cringes when he hears that word lmao

- you better say thank you if he says bless you

- If someone sneezes, and he says bless you, and then they doesn’t say thank you?

- they’ve ended up making themselves an enemy they probably don’t want to cross 💀

- He gets so disgusted when people chew with their mouth open

- “How barbaric..” is what he thinks 🗿

- He also gets all worked up when something isn’t exactly perpendicular or straight together, so he randomly fixes stuff over and over again until he likes the way it looks

- Man’s a perfectionist

- and that’s ok because somehow I’m a perfectionist too

- Mihawk has a personal space bubble that’s a 6ft radius around him, and when people that he doesn’t like invade it, uh oh

- “What an idiotic mistake.” Is what that person has made

- He has many peeves, and many more that I have refrained from listing lmao

Zoro

- Ok I’m not saying Zoro’s a clean freak

- But when someone leaves dirty laundry laying around? That crosses his line

- Idk what it is, he just hates seeing other people’s dirty clothes all over the ground, so you’ll see him muttering angry curses as he’s doing laundry lmao

- he’s like a dad, he gets mad when people leave their shoes laying about because he’ll trip over them 100% of the time

- “LUFFY I TOLD YOU TO PUT YOUR DAMN SHOES AWAY!”

- “HEHE- sorry!”

- and then Zoro leaves a bunch of fucking sake bottles laying around that Nami has to throw away later

- Nami’s pet peeve is when people leave trash lying around

Sabo

- This boy isn’t really triggered by much

- But when people disrespect books or just don’t treat books right, he gets upset

- He really loves books, so seeing them being mistreated doesn’t make him very happy

- he also hates rude children lmao 💀

- Idk he wants to kick a child’s ass if he catches them bullying another kid or being rude to someone

- Sabo’s a pretty respectable guy so he won’t kick the kid’s ass lol

- When people step on art of any kind, whatever that may be (writing, artwork, ceramics, food, etc.) he gets angry about that

- He never wants to see someone’s hard work get destroyed

a/n - I feel like my headcanons are getting so much worse 💀 I’m so sorry guys lmao

#one piece #one piece hcs #anime hcs #hawkeye mihawk #one piece mihawk #dracule mihawk #sabo the revolutionary #sabo one piece #sabo headcanons #zoro one piece #roronoa zoro #zoro headcanons #mihawk headcanons

Which headmates are the unlikely couple - Vol & PT tbh. quote from the night they became official:

Which headmates were enemies at first and now best friends and/or a couple - Inland and Auth. they fuckin hated each other for SO LONG AJSKDJCJCJZ no idea what changed between em but I'm glad it changed goddamn

Which headmate is the most different from the body? - i meannnn. All of us tbh DBDJSJFJCJXKD

Which headmates are city folk - Shivers 1000% tbh

Which headmates are country folk - idk actually!

Which headmates have the most unique music taste? - idk actually!! our music tastes r either v similar to each other or not very unique to begin with hmmmm

Which headmate has the most specific role? - either Auth [their role is to Be Cared For And Doted On when up front] or Suggestion [Its role is To Be A Sapient Stim Toy. Its role is to Literally be thrown around and hit. do not worry this doesn't hurt him at all and he enjoys it JAKAAKSJDJFJDJD]

Are there any headmates from a specific state/country/etc different from the body? - I mean technically all us Skills are fantasy French i guess. does that count

Which headmates are emo/punk/goth etc? - Aesthetic-wise? I don't think any of us actually!

What are some pet peeves headmates have about other headmates? - Scio & Cass are super annoyed by Mr. Soot's voice and demeanor tbh if that counts. Like the three do not get along well at all SJDJSJSKFJF

What headmate was the biggest surpise? - FUCKING CHILCHUCK??????????? BRO WE WERE EXPECTING SENSHI. WHERE DID YOU COME FROM AJAISJDJFDJ

What headmate has a skill that the body doesn't usually, but when they front the body gets it (or almost gets it)? - PT is hella skilled at friendship bracelet making meanwhile the rest of us suck at anything that isn't a chevron or smth really simple HSDJSJDJFJD so all the bracelets we make she's gotta be up front for

What headmate makes the most typos? - I DO AJAKAKSDJFJFJDJD i type FAST and unless I'm typoing my name I don't care to fix em because the typos add Flavour. They add Character. Also i dont feel like fixing em. Also Logic!! due to uhhhhhhhh psychosis shit he's really uncoordinated w the body now and has poor motor skills

What headmate has the weirdest (/pos) way of talking/typing? - idk!! rn we don't really have anyone w unusual typing quirks outside of Logic & his typos [lh] but talking-wise hmmmm. I guess Shivers! She kinda blasts her voice all through the headspace & into our minds when she talks and she is VERY loud but that's expected ig since she embodies the spirit of a city and all. and also Logic again actually, it's not Weird per se but he slurs his words a lot usually as a side effect of our last Big Psychosis Episode™. Also shoutout to Esprit who primarily speaks through barking and other animal sounds, love that 4 you but pleaze stop barking directly in my ear when u front AIAJSJSKD OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABT RHETORIC he sounds like he's choking when he speaks.

I loved your tags on that naley reblog about their natural chemistry and wanted to challenge you to name five pairings you think have UNnatural/forced chemistry! Chemistry is so subjective that there are no wrong answers :)

Girl I try not to hate on any ship ever but since it's a challenge imma take it :) you're right, there are no wrong answers but these are gonna be controversial so read at your own risk

1. Harry & Ginny (Harry Potter)

It's obvious. What the fuck was the shoelace? Why did they not give a shit about the main character's main love interest? I love them in the book but the movies failed to give the butterflies!

2. Tessa & Hardin (After)

Just... no. No amount of montages can fix the glaring lack of chemistry. The book made me mad so I already didn’t have a high opinion on them, but their movie scenes had me BORED.

3. JJ and Kiara (Outer Banks)

They do have chemistry, as they're very comfortable and combative with each other... I just don't see the romantic chemistry sorry 😭 they come off as just besties to me. And the way the entirety of S3 "realizing feelings" period was basically miscommunication as romantic tension kind of didn’t help changing my opinion. But I did love some of their romantic scenes in S3 so I guess they can win me over?

4. Frank & Julie (The OC)

Oh dear God. This is my biggest pet peeve about the entire show. They were supposed to be the "true love" choice while Bullit was the "safe choice" but it was like??? Like, sometimes I hate a character and am like "no but they're cute with x" but this time the closer he got to Julie the more I hated him lol, it was literally like negative chemistry. Just a mess.

5. Betty & Jughead (Riverdale)... after Season 1

It kinda hurts me to admit because I loved them in Season 1. That first love energy was immaculate. But then in the later seasons they got so stale and stiff 😭

#thank you for the ask omg #tagging anti even though im not an anti for any of these ships (so it doesn’t go to anyone who has it muted)#antibughead #antijiara #antihessa #antihinny #mutuals #and-suddenly-life-had-meaning

sunday meme

I was tagged by the always excellent @michellemisfit, and whoever sees this may consider themselves tagged!

Name: June

Age: Definitely so old that all the cool kids I agree, I should be home ironing my taxes and not in the thick of fandom. Joke's on them, I'm never leaving.

Favourite Colour: I have many! Strong, earthy/muted blues and reds are lovely. I'm more partial to color combinations, perhaps. Anything that makes a good contrast.

Beverage of Choice: Black tea, mineral water, hot chocolate, cloudy apple cider.

Do you have push notifications turned on for tumblr? God, no.

Opinion on Fireworks? They're beautiful when done professionally, but I don't think the general public should necessarily have access to them (due to risk to humans, pets, and the environment).

Favourite Childhood Toy? Oh, like a proper toy and not, say, a book. ^^; I had a big stuffed lynx that lived on my bed many years into adulthood, too. I don't remember what happened to her, though—my parents might still have her in storage.

The store you shop at the most: … My local supermarket?

Do you swear a lot? In my natural state I swear fairly often. I clean it up for work and other polite company but in casual settings I do.

Favourite Trope: Slow burn! Hurt/comfort! Mutual pining! Battle couple! Most of all, however, I adore crunchy emotional complexity and anything a fic does to surprise me. Not in the weird edgy prestige TV sense of "if the audience guessed a logical plot point WE MUST CHANGE IT", but in the sense of having an interesting take on literally any aspect of character or lore.

An album with no skips: CMX — Vainajala

If you could play any instrument, what would you choose? A lute.

Your biggest pet peeve: In fandom or otherwise? At work, when people won't stop talking but just bubble on while I'm trying to help them. I don't need your whole life story, I just need to know what you want to ask. In fandom, top/bottom discourse.

Favourite time of day: Late evening, but also early morning (if I happen to be awake). I like being up when the world is quiet.

And finally, did you drink water today? I did, and am about to do so again.

7 and 10 for the opinions meme!

from the Choose Violence Ask Game, thank you for the ask!! ^_^

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

Hate is such a strong word lmao, and usually canon has already gotten me to hate a character before I even witness fandom behavior (i.e. Satine - though I really only hate her in the Obitine lens; otherwise, I like her or am neutral). So I've been really racking my brain for this one lol.

If we change it to "which character began to annoy you" .... there are a few. Hunter from TBB is one. I don't get why ppl like him so much. Fandom be like "he's a hot dad!!!" and I'm just like.... Rex exists. In fact a lot of clones have started to annoy me lately bc fandom apparently thinks they're hotter than Rex, so I think this is a me problem (or maybe a Rex problem, he needs to mind his own hotness).

Another one is actually Luke. Like I am pretty neutral on almost all OT content (unless it's Vader being abused by Palpatine, that's hot). But even then, I'm super neutral on Luke. But there's constant Luke discourse on my dash. Like "Luke's character is like this, not this" or "Luke wouldn't do that, he'd do this" and I'm like who is even saying what these posts claim ppl are saying? Also, most recently, I was reading a fic where I guess Anakin forgot he had twins or something bc he acted like Luke was his only child. So idk, it's definitely been pushing me the wrong way lately.

(These are all spicy takes lmao, so everyone please understand these are my personal interests, not actual analysis or even opinions I will stand by. But also all of you are wrong if you disagree with me. ;D)

10. worst part of fanon

I have so many things to complain about that I decided to narrow this down by defining fanon... For this post, fanon will refer to any popularly held headcanon that I see in fanfic that is generally innocent/harmless and does not regularly get brought up in discourse (I have to eliminate sand ppl things, etc. or we'll be here all day and I'll make so many enemies lol.)

So with that definition, the worst fanon imo is the characterization of Obi-Wan as a master to Anakin. Things like "Obi-Wan never told Anakin he loved him" or "Obi-Wan didn't tell Anakin he loved him enough" or "Obi-Wan never helped Anakin recover from slavery bc he didn't know how to handle such complex topics" (.... yes... surely that trait is how he became a Jedi Master on the Jedi Council, mmhmm) or "Obi-Wan didn't hug Anakin" (one of my BIGGEST pet peeves oh my god, why would he not hug a child????) or literally any variation of these themes. Whether Obi-Wan hugged Anakin or told him he loved him or actually asked him about his needs/wants/past, etc. - none of those subjects have been raised in well-known canon to my knowledge? And based on how Obi-Wan talks to Anakin as an adult in canon and how Obi-Wan treats other children (i.e. Numa) in canon, I'm pretty sure he did every single one of those things while raising Anakin. I have no idea where this fanon comes from (actually I think I do but I'm too tired to whine about how Jedi aren't emotionally repressed right now, esp bc it breaks my discourse rule), but it infuriates me. Anakin had a very good life with Obi-Wan, -glares at everyone on his hellsite-, alright?

Anyway, thank you again for the ask, I very much enjoy angrily spilling tea. lmao

ok soju we need a track by track breakdown ‼️what are ur thoughts on midnights

HEHEH OKEY (disclaimer: these are all subject to change, i do full 180s on songs. if i call a song ass today and great tomorrow mind ur business!

i’m actually gonna give my overall thoughts out the way first jekrkdk. WELL. ITS NOT HER BEST WORK THATS FOR SURE 😭😭 i wont say it’s BAD but. it’s definitely not a banger. so much of it sounds like a bad rehash of albums and songs she’s already done. so many songs have me thinking “oh yeah. i see what she’s trying to do, but she already has a song where she actually executed this concept successfully” lyrically… yeah after evermore and folklore this feels like a crime. taylor is known to have some goofy ass “a millennial definitely wrote this” lyrics but something about this album made her crank that up to a million like sister please 😭😭 as a whole the album feels like if a god tier album (1989) had a baby with her worst album (lover). which is so confusing bc how did she backslide like this??? WE KNOW U CAN DO SYNTHPOP WELL, WHAT HAPPENED. the timing is just Bad too. like we just had the two masterpieces that are folklore and evermore, she just released the re-recording of one of her best albums, and in comparison to all that this just feels mediocre. anyways here’s to the songs ejrkr

lavender haze - 8.5/10

it’s cute!! it’s catchy and one of the best from the album. all her songs about joe makes my eye twitch lowkey but i can put that aside for now. probably the best bridge on the album (which is not a good sign bc this bridge isn’t even all that- which is disappointing bc she’s known for her god tier bridges but i digress)

maroon - 5/10

this one has potential. i can see it growing on me, but for now it was kinda boring djdkk the verses are delicious but not really feeling the chorus. the bridge made me laugh, like sister please bffr

anti-hero - 8.5/10

not even talking about it sonically, but lyrical content. yeah. YEAH. by the first line i was screaming “ME TOO” it’s like if blank space didn’t have the cynical parody spin it had. introspective and delicious MWAHH (“it’s me, hi. i’m the problem” is a goofy ass lyric tho LIKE SJRKFKF) also love the bridge

snow on the beach - 9/10

YALL GONNA LEAVE THIS SONG ALONE, ITS GOOD MOVE. even tho lana doesn’t have an actual verse on it (she should’ve but-) it’s very Lana. like i can imagine this on chemtrails over the country club. which is why i think a lot of swifties don’t like it 😭😭 the chorus is literally scrumptious

you’re on your own, kid - 6.5/10

her voice sounds so cute on the verses which is probably why i’m being so generous UEKRKD yeah i can definitely see this one growing on me

midnight rain - 1/10

taylor don’t do that shit again. no but actually, idk one of my biggest pet peeves is when artists pitch shift their vocals (looking at you frank ocean), like i get it you’re being experimental but this sounds BAD. reminds me of a reputation reject, it’s like if dress was bad. only reason it’s not a 0 is bc the chorus sounds kinda good when it’s not pitch shifted at the end

question…? - 4/10

boring. next song

vigilante shit - 3.5/10

her femme fatale songs just don’t do it for me 🗿🗿 another reputation reject. but! it does start getting kinda good at the end but atp it’s too late and the song is nearly over-

bejeweled - 6/10

this has potential. the chorus is gonna be stuck in my head i can see it now. also the way she says “nice” at the end of chorus does something homoerotic to me

labyrinth - 9/10

finally, some good fucking food. i’ve seen a lot of ppl compare it to epiphany, but the difference is this song is actually good. i wish she went with this ethereal route for more of the album

karma - 5/10

boring. millennial ass chorus. but i can see myself streaming it and calling it camp by like next week so let me not do too much-

sweet nothing - 6/10

i can see this growing on me. very nursery rhyme tho shekrkfkfk i’m a sucker for slow songs so we will be streaming this one i fear

mastermind - 1/10

nope. not offensively bad like midnight rain but it’s boring as shit

i listened to the 3am songs but none of them provoke a strong reaction from me in either way so i’ll omit them 😭

so top 3 heheh

1. labyrinth

2. snow on the beach

3. anti-hero

#asks #anon #anyways! either way that’s mother imma stand beside her i fear

Dreamling

Whether I ship it or not: Definitely ship it (as is evident by the state of my blog haha)

Why I ship it: They're just so fucking cute. Hob (despite some of the things he's done in his past) seems like the biggest sweetheart ever -- and Ferdinand Kingsley has got baby cow eyes, so honestly how can you expect me to not fall in love with his character? And I feel like Dream is shippable with practically everyone so, it just works, in my opinion. But I also don't mind them as friends, either!

My opinion on their canon potential (chemistry, canon interactions, etc.): In the comics there is definitely less chemistry, but the show??? Oh my god. I don't think I've ever been so speechless at on-screen chemistry. The sexual tension was real, holy shit.

My opinion on fanon interpretations/fandom around it (favorite widespread hcs, pet-peeves, etc.): Overall I like the fanon interpretations. I love the hc (though it's been confirmed by Neil Gaiman so, not really a hc anymore?) that Hob is a history professor, and that he's really good at his job and the students love him. I also love that we've all agreed Hob would have rescued Dream from the fishbowl if he'd known about it. Also literally every single Hob x Cat Dream interaction I've ever seen written or drawn in absolute perfection.

The only pet-peeve I maybe have is that I feel like fanon always has Hob as this charming, flirtatious woo-er -- which he is, but like, he's also an insecure 600 year old weirdo who has a shit ton of trauma and probably even more self-loathing. As much as I love flirtatious, charming Hob, I also want to see that man miserable lol

STOP THAT WAS THE CUTEST THING EVER OH MY GOD. I love how soft and domestic nat is in your mini burden one shots, but she’s not too… like out of character if that makes sense. She’s not soft in the way that it’s too unrealistic it takes me out of the story. You capture her perfectly. And I love the image of nat, the literal leader of a MOB who has an arsenal of weapons, men, and power at her disposal, getting pelted with squishmallows and not being able to do anything about it. And her comment about not putting her lips on Amber was VILE and wonderful 💀 she’s outta pocket for that one. Anyways so sorry this is long but I literally loved it and I love mini burden and I’m so glad you’re back 🫶🫶

Thank you!! I’m glad you liked it! Honestly that’s one of my biggest pet peeves when my favorite characters are written too much out of character that it doesn’t feel like them. Like if something is too out of character I can’t finish reading the story at all.

I think this is why I take so long to post things, I have to make sure everything makes sense not just for dialogue but for the character as well. 😂 like mob Nat is a mother now in this Au but she’s not too soft where it become annoying.

Natasha had to catch herself quickly with that response about not kissing Amber, like ma’am you did something much worse than kissing just keep your mouth shut lol Natasha would’ve been sleeping in Anastasia’s room or a guest room by the end of the night. Also never apologize for sending me long responses it really nice to see in my inbox <3

I think its odd(& mildly amusing) that our opinions couldn't be more different yet you're my favorite blog

I really hate both dazai and fyodor (cuz i kin them[i drew dazai a while back and that fucking drawing was a kinnie moment{i even talk like if fyodor was a dork}]) so i was like "dazai in the most physical and mental pain he could possibly be in???? Fuck yeah this motherfucker deserves to rot eternally i wish he falls into a fucking black hole and chokes on a foot lego and dies on worldwide telly"

One of our few shared opinions is that nikolai is a good character and fyozai is great (i also kin nikolai, adding to the insanity of this ask/observation)

Just a thought, -a dazai kinnie

You know it's really a shame I can't take any of the compliments in this message, because you're a serial k-word user, one of my biggest pet peeves in fandom spaces. Would everyone please stop using that word (just kidding I believe in free speech but STILL). You do not kin a character, use the adult word and say you RELATE to them. Characters are made to be relatable in one way or another. You literally can "kin" like half the characters that exist. SHUT UP OH MY GODS!

Lmao non-serious criticism but I just can't get over that word, and your ask is CRIMINALLY LITTERED WITH IT. So what did you even say? I have no idea. All I saw was the k-word everywhere.

You're not a kinnie of anyone, you just have multiple traits that you relate to in certain characters. GET OUT! LEAVE! Just because you're depressed too doesn't mean you're a Dazai kinnie uwu

I can't muster the empathy to say sorry if that was too harsh, today. But I will say it's nice that I'm your favorite blog even if our opinions differ so much (I mean CLEARLY). :D

#sadist’s answered asks #sadist either hates or loves! no in between!#sadist's opinionated answers #I fucking hate the word kinnie #everyone grow up and stop using that baby word

I saw you in my inbox and must immediately go to yours 🥺 Gotta ask you who your favorite Belcher is AND your top 10 favourite side characters 🤌

Oh no, you gave me another hard one! I guess this is going to be another long one, hahaha, get ready.

As for who my favorite Belcher is, that is so tough, almost too tough for me to answer because that changes for me every day, and I love all of the Belchers for very different, specific reasons. Tbh, I relate to all of them on some level. However, if I HAVE to choose, I will choose two, because I am still that indecisive.

I have to go with Linda as one because of her endless optimism and her constant singing spouts, because who hasn't wanted to break out into song like her every once in a while? Honestly, her outros for the show are the best. The one for "Wharf Horse" Part One? COME ON. She is just THAT girl, and she knows it--she is hilarious, she's honestly quite pretty (gotta love her in that blue dress she wore in "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal") and when you have her affection, she's with you for life, and will go to the ends of the earth for you. She will literally help you hide the evidence of a murder and go on the run for you, she is THAT loyal. Like, seriously, she planned what she would do to help Bob if he ever murdered Teddy, oh my god. And even just her support for the smaller things, like helping Bob with his dream to run the restaurant (okay, maybe this doesn't count as SMALL, but still). She is ALWAYS there to help him have a little light in his life when he needs it. She's always down to have a little fun and spice things up--I mean, who else would come up with "sexy cooking" and a "strip tease" on Valentine's Day? She's so freaking giving, to the point where it's even a detriment to her, as seen in "Terminilator II: Terminals of Endearment", where she let her mom walk all over her because thought that's what she needs to do as their daughter, which is not the case (I'm really glad Bob got upset about this for her, but I really wish she'd actually seen how terrible her parents are). I love all of her little quirks, and she is totally someone I would want to marry or at the very least be friends with irl. I think my Bisexuality is showing with this one, haha.

My second Belcher whom I love will probably be a much less popular opinion. I almost chose Tina for this one, but honestly, I have to go with Gene. He's the Belcher kid who's the most similar to Linda, so I guess that makes sense. I do sorta get why he's not everyone's favorite, but I just can't help but have the biggest soft spot for this guy. His jokes/one-liners are consistently funny, and he always provides the best levity when a scene needs it ("Nature boner!"). Plus, I really relate to his adoration of music even though he's actually not even good at it. Also, just him questioning his love of music was just super interesting overall. But his being objectively not great at playing chords doesn't even matter, because of his sheer passion--and it's this passion that led him to create the BEST songs in the entire show. I mean, "Electric Love"? "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl?" "Turkey, I Need You Beside Me?" You love to see it. These all came from his unadulterated love for music, and I think that's kind of beautiful. I also relate a lot to his love of food, especially during the episode "Diarrhea of a Poopy Kid", where "Turkey, I Need You Beside Me" came from. I mean, I'm the kind of person who pays extra close attention to expiration dates and would never eat expired food (one of my pet peeves is actually when people say expiration dates are a myth), but the fact that all he wanted throughout the episode was to enjoy some of his dad's cooking with his family together on Thanksgiving is just... yeah, I feel that. It's also just so wholesome. Speaking of wholesomeness, I don't know, Gene just feels a little wholesome to me. Besides Tina, he's the nicest of the kids, and usually, despite his non-sequiturs and jokes, he just wants to do right by people, especially people like his dad, which he outright says in "Best Burger". Just him wanting Bob to be proud of him and not see him as a screw-up is so 🥺

Okay, this is already super long, oh god. Onto my ten favorite side characters!

1.) Gonna start out with Sergeant Bosco. I recently watched a compilation of him and remembered how much I love this guy, he's just so freaking funny. I love how he's a cop who's super incompetent and still gets the job done somehow--he's terrible yet great at his job, which is amazing. Especially loved how he tried to give advice on how Linda should do speed-dating in "My Fuzzy Valentine", and then almost arrested Linda for stealing his gun. And just his entire role during "Bob Day Afternoon", trying to take the phone from a screaming Louise, pffffft.

2.) Gotta mention Nat the Limo Driver! Mainly because she's LGBTQ+ and that's wonderful, love that for her. She hasn't appeared that often at all, but the few appearances she's made have been pretty great. I loved seeing her try to win her ex-girlfriend back, and her being super nice and trying to help find that darn ring in the waterpark during "The Ring (But Not Scary)". Also just the fact that she casually was transporting a snake to the aforementioned ex-girlfriend is hilarious.

3.) Regular-Sized Rudy, my beloved! He's so precious all around, I love him and everything about him. I adore how he's such an antithesis of Louise, being pretty much everything one would expect a typical fourth-grader is like, with the added bonus of unfortunately having asthma. He probably only gets a point taken away from being obsessed with Chloe Barbash, but it's fineeeeeeeee. I find the fact that he's a child of divorce super interesting as well, I don't think it'll ever get super explored, but some more on that would be cool, specifically how it's affected him mentally. He's definitely the kind of friend that Louise needs. Also shoutout to his stuffed flounder, Pancake.

4.) I have to acknowledge Gayle Genarro, Linda's younger sister. We all know Gayle. We all love to hate Gayle. Okay, hate is probably too strong a word, but she is just such an enigma of a human being that I kind of love it. Every time she's used, she's so funny and completely freaking unhinged. Sometimes it's hard to believe she and Linda are sisters, and other times it makes perfect sense. I love her saying that Linda is her "best friend and mortal enemy" in "The Pumpkinening". Honestly, that might be my favorite episode she's in. Well, besides maybe "Topsy" or that episode where she helped get Louise a filling at the dentist (I think it's "The Kids Run Away"?). But I just really like her in "The Pumpkinening" because of how close she and Linda are shown to be, and how she admits to actually loving Linda at the end. It's surprisingly a super sweet moment for this otherwise crazy, but lovable character. Everything about her and Mr. Business is top tier.

5.) Zeke! I don't know, there's something about this boy that's really grown on me over time, I want to give him some appreciation. His way of talking and his voice are so recognizable, and I love it, and I can't really explain why? But yeah, if Tina can't get with Jimmy Jr., I might just vote for her and Zeke to be a thing. I think that ship is actually getting to me, but I don't know yet. Anyway, I think we should learn more about his family history because it actually sounds really complicated and sad, yet interesting? Gotta love how much he adores his grandma and step-mom, Cheryl, that's really sweet. And him eventually being the mad pooper for Tina in "Broadcast Wagstaff School News" was great. Ooh, and learning that he has a perfect palate in "Bob and Deliver" was also great.

6.) You gotta love Teddy. He's Teddy, everyone's favorite iconic handyman (side note, that commission you did of him and Teddiursa the Pokémon was so adorable and perfect)! I NEED to know the backstory of how he met Bob and Linda, and how he fell in love with Bob's burgers. And also how it's possible that he STILL thinks their last name is Burger. He and Kathleen are actually a very sweet couple, and he's just a very loving person in general. Like Linda, he's so loyal until the end and will do ANYTHING for Bob and his family and the restaurant, even if he does get on their nerves from time to time. However, it's all out of pure love and respect for the restaurant. He's just so genuinely invested in all their lives, it can get a little weird sometimes, but for the most part, it's wholesome as heck. Love how he also got invested in the whole storyline Linda made up for the raccoons in their alley. And how he stood up for Tina when he babysat them in that one episode.

7.) Mr. Fischoeder is just... what a guy. I just saw the new April Fool's Day episode, and it made me love him even more. He's always hilarious and iconic all around, I mean, how can you not appreciate him? He doesn't seem like a great person to have as your Landlord, but just as a person, he's great. His rivalry with Felix will always be a great staple of the show, and the way he was so chill about almost dying at Felix's hands in the two-part Season 4 finale is so great. How many times has Felix attempted murder on him for him to be so calm about it? Just his random ideas in general, like in "The Oeder Games" and "To Bob, or Not to Bob" are great, as well as his overall presence. I will always love his singing in "Topsy". His Christmas song about Bourbon is top-tier, as is his outro song about being put into a volcano after he's gone so he can stay around in some sort of way.

8.) Okay, fine, I want to acknowledge Mr. Frond, too. Is he a terrible guidance counselor? Well, yes. But is he hilarious? Also yes. That brief time he dated Gayle was so strange yet so entertaining. That one scene where he made that poor kid, Nicholas, admit his deepest darkest secret because he wanted people to say if the hurricane was caused by "something bad they did"?? Oh my lord. His interactions with Louise will always be gold, especially when that one exchange where he says "You're in trouble" and Louise tells him to "Drink more cranberry juice" (Not "Urine Trouble!" >:( ). Also, his entire role in the "My Butt Has a Fever" short is perfection in terms of comedy. Him getting THAT upset over the song only to end up with it stuck in his head too and humming it later? Yup.

9.) Ms. Labonz doesn't have the right to be so funny. Why is she so funny? God. I love how she's just done with everyone 24/7, especially the aforementioned Mr. Frond, and her role in "Touch of Eval(uations)" is actually really nice. I love her telling Louise that she knows Louise is smart and capable, and just needs to apply herself more, and it ending with her getting that brand new parking spot is actually pretty well deserved. Also, she is definitely a heavy smoker. Might want to get your lungs checked out, Ms. Labonz, no offense.

10.) Consider this last space a tie between Hugo Habercore and Jimmy Jr. I couldn't go through this list without Hugo, because even though he is terrible (come on, man, chill for a second, let the Belchers live their lives in peace), man is he funny. His role in the pilot episode "Human Flesh" is iconic in and of itself, his lines are so quotable there. I'm honestly super curious about how he met Linda, and what their relationship was like while it was still going on. I'm also curious about how he became a health inspector and how he met Ron. Is it weird that I almost want him and Ron to have something going on? It sounds so random, and it is, but I don't know, he just needs someone to be with to get over Linda and be a happier/better person, and I like their dynamic. He did have that girl he went on a blind date with in "Romancing the Beef", but she's never seen or mentioned again. As for Jimmy Jr., this was a tough call. There were so many people I wanted to mention but couldn't (I mean, the Pesto twins, Courtney, Jocelyn, Mort, MARSHMALLOW--I'm so sorry I didn't put you on the list, Marshmallow) but I decided to go with Jimmy Jr. Your appreciation for him is rubbing off on me. The guy definitely needs to get better at actually committing (he IS at his worse in "V For Valentine-Detta") and I don't know if I want him to be the one for Tina, I don't think he should, but I don't know, whenever he has a genuine interaction with Tina, it just... ah. It kinda gets to me. It makes me wish he were better so they could actually just be a couple. Lord knows Tina has been wanting him long enough. Seriously girl. But yeah, I love his dancing and his general weird-but-doesn't-care-what-others-think-of-him vibe. Like in the movie when he tried to get a chicken nugget in his mouth just so he could say he did it. That's peak comedy. I love his role whenever he's in an episode, especially in "What About Job?" when Tina made him the villain just because he refused to share gum with her--he also is just a very entertaining villain. I feel like he's so close to being someone who Tina could be with, but is never right there. Oh well.

Side note: Him asking Tina on a genuine frozen yogurt date in the April Fool's Day episode is actually so sweet, what the heck.

This got way too long oh no. I hope you're able to read all of this and get some enjoyment out of it! I tried to condense it but found I had way too many thoughts on these characters. I love them all so much. I probably forgot to mention a few things and made a few mistakes, but here it is.

#bobs burgers #linda belcher #gene belcher #side characters #thank you so so so much #this was so fun #these questions were so hard tho #i love everyone honestly #i made this answer way too long again #oh well #linda belcher being the best #side character love
