' Driving Miss Tina '

now!! how i fell inlove with the show. i originally found it through nowtv, and my first EVER episode i watched was turkey in a can. i remember this so distinctly as it was the first time i had ever heard of thanksgiving in full depth and i was just adoring the fact that there was an animated family on tv who wasn't overly dysfunctional? i went to school the next day and told all my friends about it, who couldnt care.

i think this spiralled into me watching every single episode until i managed to finish it relatively quickly but i thought this was normal. then season eight first aired.

i remember i recorded the episode so the moment i woke up on that weekend morning i literally sprinted to the living room tv to watch it, and just couldn't believe it. i think it went from there where i've managed to call the show a "special interest" of mine. easily one of the most cherished shows of mine in existence, i wouldn't trade it for the world.

its especially significant because i just loved the idea of the media not making another show where the family abuses one another in some form. i hope to feel loved like the belchers love one another

Why Zekina and not Zina?

Glad you asked, phantom person that I use as a stand-in! Zināʾ (زِنَاء) or zinah (زِنًى or زِنًا) is an Islamic legal term referring to unlawful sexual intercourse. (Wikipedia)

I think it would be disrespectful towards islamic peoples believes to use it as a ship name as well as considering the meaning “unlawful sex” of all kinds… I don’t think it would be a good ship name.

Meanwhile Zekina is only a name and surname in a couple of countries, so basically free for grabs! Let’s go with that!

Rules:

Everyone is welcome to participate.

This is an event to celebrate the romantic involvement of Tina and Zeke from the show Bob’s Burgers, but portrayals of them as friends are welcome too! (But no other ships with either of them.)

No reposting of other peoples work! (Sharing a link is fine, using graphics and scenes from the show is also fine.)

You do not need to have a tumblr blog to participate. However, if you are not blogging on tumblr and would like to see your work featured on this blog, I need you to submit it. (You can stay anonymous if you want to)

Sharing links to your works from other social media sites (Ao3, twitter, instagram) as a submission is absolutely fine

Don’t worry if you’re no native speaker. Use the language you feel most comfortable with!

(I don’t feel like it should have to be said but…) No bashing on other artists’ works or harassing others. Zeke and Tina would never approve of bullying, and neither will I.

Please help to spread the word with spreading this post.

Have fun! <3
