Finally finished what I started almost a year ago. Literally just wanted to fill a page with little things from all the different movies and TV shows I've loved
I AM SO MAD about people always shitting on adult animation series. Like literally SHUT UP about how adult animations have “zero representation” and “lack diversity” when there are SO MANY adult animated series that have all the things you’re looking for
Like bro just do some research and look harder
Obviously my bias is Bob’s Burgers so let’s start with that as an example: SO MUCH diversity and representation in this show and the fan base is so minimal?? Like what??
Not to mention Tuca and Bertie, Futurama, Bojack Horseman, etc etc etc
(Inside Job, Disenchantment, THE GREAT NORTH, The Midnight Gospel, Human Resources, and sooooo many more)
Everyone is CONSTANTLY complaining about the lack of good adult animated shows but then never give most of these ones the time of day. I genuinely don’t get it! If you’re so mad about how crass and bigoted all the mainstream shows are, why are you still watching them? There are so many amazing adult animated series that are so diverse and representative of so many different communities more and half of them get canceled because all the internet talks about are the big TV shows like Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons, etc (not dissing anyone who likes these shows btw, I am an occasional watcher myself)
How about we stop complaining about the lack of diversity in adult animation and actually watch the shows that are giving us what we want?
I’m not at all saying that all these that I mentioned are without flaws. They all have them! But what I AM saying is that maybe we should stop letting networks cancel the shows with what we are asking for because they aren’t getting any traction.
Let’s not insult an ENTIRE GENRE of television series just because the mainstream ones aren’t necessarily what we want anymore.
And let’s talk about the animation styles. STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW UGLY THEY ARE. Yeah, I get it, they’re not always the prettiest but the diversity of body types and races in shows like Bob’s Burgers etc is amazing. Like holy crap it frustrates me when people file down all the good aspects of TV shows just because they sometimes have weird animations. Like please, remember that art in and of itself is diverse and there are so many talented people that are putting so much work into creating these literal masterpieces
The point I’m trying to make is, maybe stop giving shows like Big Mouth so much attention (even if it’s negative) and watch the ones that are literally giving you what you want. Like guys, stop letting networks cancel great series just because you prefer to complain about the “bad things” and refuse to acknowledge the good ones
I like Bob’s Burgers too but be real…diverse? Lol. Also, people can watch shows with diverse casts and still push for even more diversity in even more casts at the same time. We’re used to that.
Bob’s Burgers bedrooms
I downloaded Toca Life World and made the Belcher’s bedrooms with my own little twists to them. I reimagined some of it and I hope you guys like it!
Starting off with Tina:
- Some classic horse paraphernalia (I imagine the brown horse is Chariot from the equestranauts)
- I put walkie talkies in all the Belcher kids’ bedrooms because I like to imagine that they communicate with each other past their bedtime
- Tina would 100% have those glow in the dark stars on her walls all throughout high school. Change my mind
- I think she would have bought into that vines on the walls trend that was all over Tik tok for a while. She thinks they look classy
- I also added a lil cameo of the cat treats that Tina and Gene eat in that one episode lol I headcannon that they still snack on them from time to time
- There’s also a box of chocolates and a little teddy bear holding a heart, I just think that she either received them from someone (Zeke, J-Ju, whoever you want) or she’s saving them to give to someone else
- Shoutout to the composition notebook on her desk for her erotic friendfiction
- And because this is a headcannon for teenaged Tina’s bedroom, I gave her a mirror and some fancy looking moisturizer. I don’t think she wears much makeup (if any at all) but I do think she takes skincare VERY seriously
Gene:
- Gene’s room is MESSY
- Like I love him but he’s a total slob
- I think that he would have some of those LED lights, but only because Louise wanted them first but her room was too small for the whole roll
- Like in Tina’s room, I gave him the cat food to snack on
- I also think that Gene is a sweaty boy and therefore has a fan on 24/7
- Burger and ketchup plushies!
- So. Many. Snacks.
- I gave him a kiddie radio and a regular boombox as well as a synthesizer (I couldn’t find any keyboards that’s my bad)
- He also has a walkie talkie so he can “walkie and talkie with his favourite sisters”
- I also added a music score!
- The posters are kinda miscellaneous, they didn’t have any music based ones but I think that “bulko” character would be one that Gene is rlly into
- Ofc I added a baseball in there as well. I think that even though he never excelled at the sport and isn’t a sport person in general, he still just likes to have the ball around. Maybe as a stim toy maybe not who knows
Louise:
- Louise was my favourite room to put together! I just find that she and I have/had similar rooms growing up and I just relate to her on that level
- I gave her the loft bed with the desk underneath because obviously. She has one. But I chose this one specifically because I think that it’s very her.
- I think she added the caution tape because it’s “the next best thing besides barbed wire”
- And ofc the stickers to add some ✨personality✨
- Louise got really into the LED craze of 2020 and hence, got some for Christmas or something like that
- But her room *cough* closet *cough* is too teeny tiny for the full roll so she had to share the rest of it with Gene
- I added horror movie posters next to her bed because there are SO many instances in the show where she just talks about horror films and I think she gets REALLY into them when she gets older
- She still uses crayons. Sue her
- Ofc I also gave her a walkie talkie. She’s literally the reason the Belcher kids have them in the first place
- The one poster in a frame reminds me of that one onion poster she has in her room in the show. I still don’t understand the significance of the poster but I think it deserves to be added
- The green frog on her bed is supposed to represent Kuchi Kopi
- And all the other weird looking toys are her collectables!
- And I have to address the lady bug in the room. I think that she got that as a lil baby and just grew so emotionally attached to it that she can’t bear to get rid of it. She rides it around the apartment when she’s bored
- I also tried to imitate her spiral carpet and even though there is no spiral I think the colour is spot on
Bob and Linda:
- Linda 100% made all of the design choices in their bedroom
- Ik that canonically they don’t have a window but shhhhhh
- I think that they would have two carpets because Linda always complains that her feet get cold when she’s getting ready in the mornings
- And she let Bob pick the colour of it (the red one)
- Linda found that tapestry at a flea market and “Isn’t it just DARLING Bobby”
- BUT it smelled like cigarettes for sooooo long she almost got rid of it
- Almost.
- Linda is a candle gurly. If she goes to the store and sees a candle she HAS to have it, especially if it smells good
- She also got rlly into the holistic medicine industry for a while, hence the salt lamp
- She thinks it looks fancy and rustic at the same time
- Bob picked out the framed picture and he’s so proud of himself
- “Did you know that IM the one that picked that? And now it’s hanging in our room”
- They have white sheets because Linda likes to feel like she’s in a hotel
- Bob actually is an avid reader. Well, mostly.
- He reads but he doesn’t really READ, you know?
- But he always tries to read a little before bed so he keeps his current books on his nightstand (at least since the events of the episode where he and Linda sleep apart)
Those are my headcannons for the Blecher bedrooms! I’m thinking of doing an MLP version too but we’ll see. I’ve also been thinking of doing a Mr. Frond and Gayle bedroom because in my mind they stay together forever lol who knows
