Since there's not going to be a Valentine's day episode this month. I wanted to fill that void by making these. So here you all go, puns and all! Happy Valentine's day!

Bob's Burgers Birthday Headcanons (Just some of the kids, no adults bday HCs sorry)

Tina - March 7th, 1998 (I liked the idea of using the abbreviation of March and 7 to make it almost look like Mary. Mary sounds like marry after all, which is something Tina would like to do when she's older. RIP July 8th birthday headcanon I wanted to keep so bad.) Gene - December 3rd, 2000 (It's already confirmed that Gene is a Sagitarrius so this one was the easiest to choose. I thought it would be cool for Gene's birthday to be the median date of Thanksgiving and the first of the 12 days of Christmas. Also 12/3, twelve is divisible by 3. XD)

Louise - January 19th, 2002 (basically the opposite date of the median date of Tina's and Gene's bday, July 20th)

Zeke - May 23rd, 1998 (The most we know is that Zeke's mom was pregnant with him during prom. I thought it would the funniest outcome to have Zeke be born on prom night. The unfortunate part of the idea is that there's no one prom date, so I'm never going to have an exact perfect date for this idea. I also didn't realize I was using the birthday of Bob's voice actor until after the fact. So it might change later, depending on if I find a better prom date for Zeke's mom or not) Jimmy Jr. - February 17th, 1998 (Release date of Footloose, I thought it would be fitting for him.) Rudy - April 6th, 2002 (it's when the episode, "House of 1000 Bounces" came out so I just made it easy on myself for this one) That's all the bdays I want to give headcanons to. If anyone wants to give suggestions for better prom dates for Zeke's birth, be my guest. I choose 1998 for Tina, Zeke, and Jimmy Jr. because 2011 is when Tina's first birthday episode was aired and roll with it, regardless of the floating timeline. I needed to figure out which numbers were Saturday for Zeke's birthday somehow. XD

Just Wanted to Update My Touch Tank Idea:

I had this idea to do something with Tina as a creature from the touch tank a while ago. https://www.tumblr.com/qilin-crusader/697656683256741888/tacosandtouchtanks-okay-i-just-wanted-to-update?source=share I wanted to update it a little because I realized I had a better setup to include the entire echinoderm family for Tina, her siblings, and her friends (though I use friends loosely for some of them) Louise: Sea urchin by a long shot when I found out that sea urchins liked to wear hats (a sea urchin with bunny ears would be so cute X3). Not to mention urchin is a word for a troubled, street kid which fits Louise. Gene: Sand dollar because another name for the sand dollar is sea biscuit or cake urchin which fits him for obvious reasons. Jimmy Jr.: Starfish because of his passion for dancing. Jocelyn: Starfish for being blonde and popular. Tammy: Brittle star fits her perfectly. She tries to be a starfish but her facade very easily shatters. Also, another name for brittle star is serpent star and we all know why that fits her too. XD Zeke: Sea cucumber. The description Tina gives the sea cucumber in "Aquaticism" fits Zeke to a T. Also metaphorically speaking, a creature that spends so much time providing for other sea creatures and letting them live in their butthole while rarely getting anything in return also fits Zeke. Tina: She starts out desiring to be a starfish but insecurity over time makes her believe she's actually an urchin. Turns out she's neither starfish nor an urchin, she's a sea lily. Sea lilies without their stalks are also known as feather stars, so she could also be that but I like the lily one better because the phrase, "gilding the lily" fits her so well.

That's pretty much the update. I want to include Susmita as well, but I'm not sure which echinoderm to make her or if she should even be an echinoderm at all. I probably would make her another starfish because of space stuff if I want to keep with the echinoderm theme. I'm open to other suggestions though because I know touch tanks have more than echinoderms. I'm not even sure if sea lilies or brittle stars are normally part of touch tanks anyway? I just wanted to use them because they are part of the echinoderm family. lol I'm pretty set on all the ones chosen though and I believe fit all of them pretty well, I'm just stumped when it comes to adding other characters. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Update 1/12/2023: Adding more friends to the touch tank idea. Susmita: Hermit crab because it's cute and Zeke named one Saucey which can almost be a cute nickname for Susmita. So I rolled with it because I like hermit crabs. Henry Haber: Horseshoe crab because of his love of dinosaurs since it's a living fossil. Also, both hermit crabs and horseshoe crabs aren't real crabs so they have that in common. Darryl: Sea anemone because I found out that some species of sea anemones sometimes choose to sit on top of hermit crabs or sea snails. I just think it fits Darryl because of how much of a wimp he is. I think the idea of him sitting on hermit crab Susmita for protection is really cute. Rudy Stieblitz: Sea snail because I thought it fit him being the slowest runner in the world.

Courtney Wheeler: Starfish because of her being a blonde and also very stardom driven. Alex Papasian: Hermit crab because of that one time he wanted to run away.

Belcher Sibling Fankids Update:

Unfortunately, I still haven't drawn the fankids yet. I wanted to update regardless though. I added a fourth kid for my version of the Zekina family (the right amount of boys/kids is 4, forever am I right?! XD) and I almost completed the info for Louise's adopted kid. So to keep it brief, I'm going to recap the Zekina kids and give the inspiration behind their names while I provide a bit of info about Louise's adopted child. Adult Gene still doesn't have kids and I don't plan to give them any. Tina:

Daniel “Dani” Bob Belcher - 1. Daniel was the name of pilot Tina, so I thought it would be a fitting name for her first kid. 2. I also made it a headcanon that Danielle is Zeke's grandma's name so it could be more special in the lore. I'll have to find another reason if the show kills my headcanon 3. Bob is his middle name after his maternal grandfather for obvious reasons.

Jeffrey “Jeff” Griffin Belcher - 1. Jeffrey is the name of Tina's body pillow. 2. His nickname, Jeff is based on Tina's ex-ghost box boyfriend. 3. His middle name Griffin is based on Tina's favorite Boyz 4 Now band member. 4. The reason for both names is that they both had an indirect influence on leading Zeke and Tina to each other. Jeff for my headcanon "Tina and the Real Ghost" was around when Zeke realized he had a crush on Tina. Meanwhile, Griffin for the time Zeke and Leslie helped Tina and Louise get to the Boyz 4 Now concert.

Lily Cherilyn Belcher - 1. Lily is the name of Bob's late mother who Tina wanted to honor. 2. Lily is also what Louise tricked Linda into thinking they were renaming Tina (it was a horse called "Gelding the Lily" which in general I think the phrase, "gild the lily" fits Tina perfectly). 3. Cherilyn is a mix of Cheryl's and Linda's name that's not too obvious to honor both of them. 4. It's also a reference to the singer, Cher's full first name. However, that only matters because I have a story idea that Zeke tries to recreate the lost Bolognese sauce recipe from Linda's family. The pun name for Zeke's recipe recreation attempt is, "Do You Bolognese in Life After Love".

Brian “Brine” Tad Belcher - 1. Brian is an anagram for brain, stuff zombies eat. 2. Brian also almost sounds like brine which I thought it be cool to make people think of pickles. 3. The nickname "Brine" is also just me subtly roasting Tina for the time she put too much salt in the soup before Bob found out Zeke had a perfect palette. 4. Tad is a reference to the fact that he is the youngest. 5. Tad is also to honor Teddy because I see him and Zeke bonding really well (especially when he helps Zeke get his captain license in my headcanon). Also, Tina loves Teddy too so of course, she approves. 6. Tad is dated slang for "street kid" in the same way urchin is (so it helps me connect it to touch tank in an indirect way) 7. Tad is a variation of Thaddeus which in Dutch, Taco is also a variation of Thaddeus. (don't ask me, language is weird XD. I'm just happy to connect touch tank and tacos in one name). 8. I really wanted to make the initials BTB so it can also reference the abbreviation of the phrase that excites Tina, "bumper-to-bumper". Louise: Robin Susie Belcher-Stieblitz (- Fischoeder) -

Robin is two years older than Lily and the only child of Lousie through adoption. Robin is a variation of Robert which is where the name, Bob comes from. So Louise named the kid after Bob in a subtle way. However, since Robin is also the name of a bird, she sometimes calls Robin her "little chick". Her middle name, Susie which means "lily" is a way to subtly honor Bob's mother without hogging taking attention away from Lily. Susie is also a reference to "Calvin and Hobbes" as a way to foreshadow that Robin is connected to Calvin Fischoeder. Louise finds out from an old letter that Robin is the long lost grandchild (or great-grandchild, I haven't figured out the timeline yet) of Calvin Fischoeder and the woman he was only married to for a week (not sure if I want it to be Shelby Schnabel or an OC I'll have to make later but my lazy butt says Shelby atm) The greedy side of Louise is thrilled with the potential to finally get a taste of the Fischoeder wealth through Robin. However, the good person side of her throws that idea out the window once she realizes that Felix must never know that Robin is related to the late Calvin. She knows how unhinged Felix is and doesn't want to find out whether Felix would love his grand-niece with open arms (or great-grand-niece) or try to murder her on the spot to keep his spot as head of the Fischoeder wealth to himself (Calvin died at some point, not sure exactly when but definitely after Louise became an adult) Robin takes after both Lousie and Calvin in that she is a major troublemaker. Robin is often the ring leader when it comes to the daily chaos the next-generation Belcher family has to deal with.

That's all I got beyond that. I still need to figure out her family tree so I can even have an idea of what I want to do with her skin tone. I probably need to look more into the Fischoeder lore to get an idea about that. I'll love to get some help/suggestions from the Calvin Fishoeder fans on here. if you're reading, please. :3 Anyway, that's about it. Hope I'll actually draw the munchkins one of these days.

My Updated Belcher Kids, Zeke, and Jimmy Jr. Job Headcanons

After "What About Job" I became inspired to update the job headcanons. I know Bob is one of the most unreliable narrators in the show, but it's still the closest thing to canon I'm going to get for now so I'm going to tweak my headcanon a bit to slightly fit what Bob hypothetically thinks might happen. Tina: She went to get a degree in literature at community college. I still think she'll be an author of trashy romance novels, but now I like to think she'll also own a small, (sometimes) peaceful farm by the beach. It just has plants to start out with but it will have horses eventually too (sorry Tina, no going big XD). Bob comes by to help Tina with her plants every now and then. They both enjoy the bonding experience. I also didn't say who she married in the original job headcanon post because I thought it would be better if I left it up to interpretation. Screw ambiguity though, Tina is married to Zeke. He helps out when he can and he got some of his family to work at Tina's farm as well. Part of the plants she grows is for Bob's Burgers while the rest is for selling at the farmers' market. Gene: I'm going with he will become a traveling musician, but I still say he got his start by doing miscellaneous things on Bob's Burgers equivalent to YouTube like in the original post. He travels with Courtney and Alex I'm leaving their relationship up to interpretation because I'm fine either way I just think they are cute all together.

Louise: Has trouble finding herself at 18 but eventually decides to go to community college for chemistry. She started out just wanting to do a field that would help her make explosives. However, she later realized that cooking was just chemistry and she started specifically learning food chemistry. She knew in her heart she wanted to keep her family's business alive and used the knowledge she learned to help experiment on alternative burgers and other food they could sell. She's platonic friends and roommates with Rudy. Rudy works at Bob's Burgers as well, he provides the smoothies and suggestions for allergy-free options for the place. Zeke: He didn't have the means to afford college so he decided to join the navy for action, adventure, and money. They rejected him due to his ADHD though. To make matters worse his dad kicked him out at 18. So he offers to work at Bob's Burgers for a place to sleep as payment until he figures out what to do with himself. Zeke becomes part of the family really fast and Bob is happy to have him as his pupil in the upstairs kitchen. Zeke was still sad that he wouldn't be able to see the world like he hoped if he joined the navy. While he still couldn't join the navy, Teddy did offer to help Zeke at least get a captain's license through his connections. Zeke accepted the offer because it sounded cool to be an official captain if he ever actually had a chance at owning a boat. So during that time he balanced getting his captain's license, working at the restaurant, and earning whatever he could so he could go to culinary school. After he earned his captain's license, he is approached by Mr. Fishoeder (who was probably one of Teddy's connections in the first place) and he offers him a job to captain his booze cruise (which is also totally not used for smuggling anything illegal under the captain's nose, no sir!) at the sexy, adult, night hours on the Wonder Wharf. Not what Zeke had in mind when he got his license but he loved to party and thought it could be fun mixing drinks. Thinking of the chaotic memories that could be made sounded appealing as well. Zeke still works at Bob's Burgers when Louise takes over the restaurant. Louise, Rudy, and Zeke all workshop burgers and food ideas but Zeke is the final decision on if the food is worthy to be sold or not (Louise can never be trusted after the bubblegum burger incident even after studying food chemistry XD) So in the day, he works at Bob's Burgers and Tina's farm while at night he is the party animal captain of the Wonder Wharf booze cruise. Jimmy Jr.: Nothing has changed for him. I still say he's a dance teacher. I don't really have anybody I ship him specifically because none really stand out much. Douglas obviously has a thing for Josh so that's out, I don't want Becky Krespe to give JJ another chance, and while I think the concept of JocelynxJimmy Jr is hilarious, I don't think they would work out. So I'm flexible with whatever as long as it's legal.

Anyway, that's all. This all started because I couldn't brush off what Bob thought Zeke would end up doing. I figured I might as well update all of them after that. Yeah, I know the writers needed at least one person with a boat for the "Children of Men" parody but it's still funny out of all the characters he could have chosen, he picked Zeke.

the belcher kids are all very different people but i feel like they have two headcanons that i share for all of them: they all really appreciate ironic clothes and hats, and they all get teachers yelling at them to stop talking in class. gene talks really loudly in general, but so does courtney, so they end up having the loudest "whisper" conversations in the back of the class and their teachers always get mad, mostly about music and stuff. louise is normally pretty quiet when she sits near her friends but one time chloe sat in front of her and they just kept talking shit about each other incredibly loudly. a fight almost broke out. tina and susmita talk about ghosts, aliens, and cryptids in the back of class a lot, theyre not really being disruptive on purpose its just they really like talking about those sorts of things together and cant contain themselves if theyre sat near each other. its funny cause most teachers adore them for being respectful and quiet, but if they sit near each other its all over. its not really a problem with any of her other friends, in fact most teachers make her sit next to sam, but with susmita its like they cant stop talking. no one knows why.

sorry hugo stans i cant fucking stand that bitch! also logan, sorry i really dont get the hype.... i am also not a louigan shipper. i am sorry mutuals.
