4, 10, 11, 27!! (took you this long to reblog the thing >:/ but hell yessss ♥️)

Yesss!! Thank you so much for invading my ask box, DT!!❣️

4.) How many different styles/mediums (e.g., digital art, traditional art, comics, sculptures, paper craft, etc.) did you try this year?

Actually, quite a bit!! At least, more than I initially thought I did. I, of course, did mostly digital art near the end of this year, and ended up producing a lot more pieces than I've done before!! It was honestly kind of crazy how much art I began producing at the end of this year. It was like I was a driver in a race, pffffffft. But, at the beginning of this year, I dabbled a lot in traditional art, because I enjoy the feeling of putting a pencil to paper, and whilst it takes more time, sometimes it can give you more freedom to experiment with designs or expressions. I also began making a long-form Bob's Burgers comic for the first time, which was inspired by @bluebirbbs and their long-form Bob's Burgers comic, which everyone should read if they haven't already. When I was younger and in art class, I actually used even more mediums for creating art, like sewing an actual Christmas ornament, and sketching stuff using a lightbox, which is super fun. But I haven't done those two things in years. I kind of want to try doing them again someday.

10.) What inspired/motivated you this year?

DT, you know I'm going to say you as my first (and biggest :3) inspiration. I mean, come on, you're the reason I have this blog in the first place. I know I've said it before, but seeing your amazing, lovely BB art inspired me to begin making my own and get back into drawing, and it caused me to create my blog and expand it into territories I didn't even think were possible. And now I'm running Geneuary, an event celebrating my favorite baby boy, and that would never have happened if it hadn't been for you, and that initial Boblin ask I somehow worked up the courage to give you (and am so glad I did)! It doesn't show it anymore, but do you remember how I didn't even have an image for my account?? 😆

Yes, I'm getting super sappy, but all of this is true!! Now, of course, you weren't my only inspiration. There are too many blogs to name, but @br1ghtestlight has been super sweet and my Gene Belcher buddy!! He's the one person who loves the baby boy as much as I do. We may or may not do a collab for Geneuary based on an idea she had about Gene and Tina working on a lil' puzzle together, which is just too adorable 😭

I also must shout out @babsvibes too. She was also, in a way, the reason I even have this blog. I used to be content enjoying this silly Burger show on my own, watching the episodes and having fun, and reading the occasional fanfic (@thisaliennerd and their Boblin fanfic Falling For You is Easy [Like Sunday Morning]) was one of my first forays into the BB fanfic community, and it wonderful) when I suddenly stumbled upon this Tinimmy fic by Babs one fateful day called Honeycombed Hair, I believe: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44413795

This fic led me to you, DT, and your amazing art!! And I joined this incredible Muppet community, and nothing's been the same for me ever since. Now I don't have to enjoy this show alone!! Of course, I have my BF @cryptidchrome now, who watches the show, but I digress. Babs also invited me to the Louigan server, which has been an absolute blast. And she's just an excellent writer in general, which is very inspiring as someone who also writes.

I must also shoutout @theangrypomeranian for being so sweet and Commissioning me, and also being an excellent writer (she called me the #1 Gene person in this fandom and that made me so 🥺). And @devilh0rnsinc for having such lovely art that it makes me squee every time. And @jimmypesto for making the best Boblin fics and just being the ultimate Boblin connoisseur. Shoutout to her new nephew for being the most adorable bambino on the entire planet. Welcome to the world, lil' bean!! @jimmyjrsmusoems is another fantastic writer and is hilarious, and is the other Tinimmy connoisseur in this fandom, besides you, DT, of course. Also, @koko-raccoon has some of the cutest art ever and listened to me ramble about my OCs, which I definitely want to thank them for. Their art is very inspiring to me. But the person whose art is the most inspiring to me, besides yours, DT, is probably @dianadeadwing. Her art is wonderful, and I'll never get enough of it. I also get so excited whenever I see it.

Okay, now for more of a speed round so I can mention more people!! @ratguy-nico has adorable art as well, and I love his style so much. It's wonderful. And @ltwharfy is such a good writer and I didn't even know until I read his Roudise Week fic about Bob and Rudy getting Louise a new hat when she outgrows her bunny ears. @keepyourhornson-spyro is another fantastic writer and is the certified Tedmort Monarch. There are just so many more people I want to name, but I'll just mention one more person: @carnivaldemon, who gave me the most adorable art of Gene and my OC, Alexis. His art is truly inspiring to me.

11.) What pairing/character/subject did you create the most for this year?

You probably already know the answer to this ☠️

It's definitely a tie between Boblin and Gene/Alexis, which is definitely my newest ship and obsession. But I have to give Boblin a special shoutout because I began work on an entire Pre-Canon Boblin series (which I'm still working on to this day) and a "Linda is Deaf" AU, both of which are super close to my heart now. Thank you for giving me the push I needed to work on my "Linda is Deaf" AU when I sent that ask about it to you, pfffffft.

Gene is definitely the character I've created the most for in terms of just singular characters. I could talk about him all day. I love this lil' guy so much. Hopefully, y'all don't get bored of hearing me ramble about him, because I'll certainly never get bored of rambling about him.

27.) Biggest surprise while creating art this year?

Honestly, the biggest surprise was just how sweet, supportive, and welcoming the Bob's Burgers community ended up being. Y'all welcomed me with open arms and supported all of my creative endeavors (and long analyses about Gene) and for that, I'll always be grateful. This community really does feel like one big family, and it's so lovely to see. Everyone is just so nice to each other, it warms my heart 🥹 And one of my biggest surprises was learning about the Ship Weeks/Character Events, and how fun they are. They're truly a testament to how sweet and talented this community is. I'm definitely looking forward to them all next year if they happen again.

#asks #doodler’s daydreams #bobs burgers #thank you so much for asking this dt❣️ #i know i got super sappy but everything i said was true #joining this community was the best decision i ever made #i'm not planning on leaving anytime soon. not willingly anyway #who knew them burger muppets could create one of the sweetest and most supportive online communities ever?? i certainly didn't #and i've never been the same since (in the best way possible)

bob’s burgers fic recs :)

zeka/tina:

Snowed In by eightlightminutes-- I’m a sucker for a snowed in/power outage story, and this one is full of tension, tenderness, and a touch of drama. Tina gets stuck inside with Zeke, who she’s harboring a grudge with.

summer slipped us underneath her tongue by TullyBlue-- A very fun AU telling the story of a meet cute between bartender!zeke and journalist!tina. I love the flirtatious banter between the two of them!

Once More, With Peeling by Babs0987-- Zeke helps Tina out during a hectic restaurant shift. There’s a familiarity between them in this one that feels very cozy, and I love how clear it is that Zeke is absolutely crazy about her.

light me up, burn me through by barelyprolific-- Zeke teaches Tina to shotgun underneath the pier. So cute and feels so true to teenage experiences like love, attraction, and a smidge of angst.

In Another Life by theangrypomeranian- A really unique story about reincarnation and finding your true love in every life. Such a fun, romantic read!

more fics under the cut!

bob/linda:

clair de lune by weatheredlaw-- Five alternate universes where Bob and Linda never got together for various reasons. So, so heartbreaking and has made me cry every time I’ve read it. Each universe is so well crafted and feels authentic.

Through A Child’s Eyes by YAJJ-- A look at how a very young Tina views her parents’ relationship. I love stories where you get to see a ship from an outsider’s perspective, and this one is adorable!!

falling for you is easy (like sunday morning) by thisaliennerd- a wip about the early days of Bob and Linda’s relationship chronicling how they met and fell in love. Very in character and super, super cute.

Empty Zest Syndrome by Babs0987-- Bob and Linda commiserating after becoming empty nesters. Funny and heartwarming with absolutely excellent dialogue!

I belong with you, you belong with me (you’re my sweetheart) by CourtneyCourtney- a soulmate au!! Five different versions of Bob and Linda falling love through different soul ties. So creative and speaks to their personalities so well!

also! If you like the idea of a bob/linda/teddy ot3, puff2002_2001 writes this sweet, funny, and very thorough series about the three of them falling in love and integrating Teddy into the relationship: The Cook, The Handyman, His Wife (they’re lovers)

rudy/louise:

oh peach pit, where’d the hours go? by jimmyjrsmusoems-- A soft and domestic one shot about an older Rudy and Louise living together. Warm, sleepy, adorable vibes all around.

heaven helps the fool who falls in love by CourtneyCourtney-- A classic slow burn story with lots of humor throughout. I love the strength of Rudy and Louise’s friendship here, and I adore all of the Belcher sibling interaction. This one reads like a coming-of-age novel for sure, and I DEVOURED it the first time I read it.

I know I believe it, and so do my bones also by CourtneyCourtney- A canon compliant little one shot that takes place during Rudy and Louise’s trip to get frozen yogurt following The Hawkening. The dialogue is spot on, and I love this sweet portrayal of puppy love. 

Mutt Ado About Nothing by bookwyrrm— Rudy and Louise meet and fall in love with a dog who needs a home. I really like this interpretation of older Rudy and Louise and their characters, and their relationship is already healthy and established when the story begins. I love the humor/friendship/banter that still exists in how they interact!

#2023 in review #fic recs #fic stats #top fandoms #top pairings #the big trend i've seen with my 'ship reading in the past couple years is that more and more of the pairings are canonical #which is definitely a combo of reading more in book and other not-big-franchise fandoms #and a smidge more queer rep in the franchises #also i made a little three-way venn diagram of the characters on the gen list and it's BLORBO - FAMILY FEELS - ACE AS HELL #adaine is right in the middle

[panclownrights]

middle aged? sure. men? definitely. but the white part isn't exactly fair. i mean, the man you're currently hyperfixated on isn't definitely isn't white

So this is going to be a callout post because I don’t know what is happening to me?????? ... @stressedbi and I went over all the men I’ve been hyperfixated on lately:

Honorable mention:

#i promise i like more than middle aged men #there’s a few more white men I could add to this list #but this post was getting embarrassing #and in suss’ defense i did just make them watch kick ass for me because of aaron #..... #where are the women??? #where are anyone who is not a MAN #what have I become??? #danny pudi #donald glover #aaron taylor johnson #pedro pascal #james mcavoy #ben schwartz #thisaliennerd #miriam #the willow to my buffy

December 28th, Platform 9 ¾, Kings Cross Station 

Ron: Well dad, you’ll never believe what Harry’s done now….

Later, at the Burrow

Arthur: *shrugs*

There’s a sudden tapping on the window, and a tawny owl with a letter bearing the Hogwarts seal flies into the Weasleys kitchen

All is Fair In Love and War Part 1

((Cast: @asklilyevanss​​ as Marlene McKinnon, @thisaliennerd​​ as Lily Potter, script and myself as Dorcas Meadowes))

Fall 1979

Marlene, Dorcas, and Lily return to Dorcas’ flat, weary from their most recent battle with the Carrow twins.

Marlene’s attitude, understandingly irritated and bitter, contrasts very differently from her best friend. After all, it’s not like Lily got a shiner from Carrow...

Dorcas: I’d almost feel bad for Carrow. 

Marlene’s suggestive smirk doesn’t go unnoticed by Dorcas. 

Dorcas: I wish I never opened my big mouth. And I have no motivation to have a run-in with Lestrange.

An owl flies through their bird flap and goes to Lily, extending its leg to show her a roll of parchment. It has the seal of the Order. All of the girls tense up and pale at the notion of another mission so soon.

Marlene and Dorcas tense nervously as they Lily unfold the parchment to read it.

I mean, not a question, but I was pretty sick for a week and missed 3 days of school so now I'm really behind and I hate my life. Also I keep coughing and people look at me like they don't know why I'm at school but I can't miss more school because I'll get even more behind (and we have a limit of the amount of days we can be absent before we lose credit for the class, so I'm stressed about that...) It's fine. Rant over.

Oh wow I relate so hard, I feel you hon
