What the what? Geez, I know it’s dark, but come on, YouTube. well, thanks for letting me know because I literally wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. While that’s a bit of a bummer (I LOVE the accompanying visual novel and sountrack format of that vid), I was still able to find another link to Wayne June’s narration of the text! Hopefully this one won’t give you such trouble since I didn’t see any age restriction on it.

I so adore this one. Not my favorite from Lovecraft but absolutely within the top 5. Wayne June never misses, and this is no exception

This was. Horrible to make.

Hold up you are so freaking onto something that is equal parts funny, genius, and absolutely horrifying

A scene from Invader Zim I seem to find way creepier than anyone else does

It’s just weirdly good horror to me as a years later rewatch somehow. Dripping with menace.

Long time fans know this is one of the most theatric and chatty characters in the show, alone or not. He also more often than not gets over -ahem, denies- setback and mission fumbles in record time. Not here. Just the silence that lets you truly hear that eerie ass ambience in the background. Just watching him reviewing back collected surveillance, on presumably what’s supposed to be human child behavioral data (this was still season 1 after all), but he’s neither mocking the subjects nor boasting about himself for once. He’s not even complaining or getting into one of his spiels. It’s just that cut back to the reel of a dozen pains he’s suffered at the Skool, cut back to that stone still expression, cut back to the tapes. You don’t know if they’re all from a singularly horrible day or a pile of weeks of humiliations stacking on a camel’s back. You get nothing of explanation except for that quiet seething in his expression- The scariest kind of angry. It’s Zim, ruminating on a god’s honest murderous rage, toward this species that seems to only justify his contempt of them with every single interaction. Almost as if you can watch this and imagine his hatred just getting hotter and hotter for all mankind under the surface, and then narrowing in like a magnifying glass straight onto the worst and most frequent offender of all. Those four consecutive Dib clips are what finally seem to make him feel like he’s seen enough and he’s fully decided on beginning to craft what we later find out was the Moosey wormhole plan. If it was only about Dib standing in the way of the mission, like he frames it, this episode intro wouldn’t serve any purpose. It was about so much more than Dib probably ever thinks about, the axe forgets and all that.

To me this clip is like the one moment where I swear to Tallest Zim was feeling on a kind of Nny wavelength in that isolated instant,

AND it’s one of many moments where I shake my head remembering how Dib’s average Tuesday is spent more recklessly than poking a sleeping dragon in the eye with a stick.

Absolutely taken back by this new monster they dropped for the ethereal workshop lately

Not so much because of the way he looks or sounds by himself, but by the sheer amount of FNAF references they crammed into his bio you’d never know without looking for yourself

“Hello, Hello? Hello?” - phone guy callback

“Behind the laughter” - literally one letter off from behind the slaughter

“Nitebear” - the species name potentially being a shortened mash of Nightmare Fredbear or just a punny rhyme with the word nightmare itself

“Mishmash of multiple ideas” - possible Ennard reference or the general theme of Ennard also seen a few times throughout the game series, as in The Mangle, Springtrap, or Nightmare Freddy

“Quirky animatronics” - The obvious.

“To avoid going Purple in the face” - William Afton.

“Servos [don’t] lock up” - a very intentional play on a verbatim quote from early on in the series

“Groans and moans” - Several FNAF animatronics have been known to emit groan-like sounds of suffering and general tortured ghost noises

“But it always comes back” - William Afton, again.

Oh yeah and the whole thing with it being a singing miserable animatronic beast on top of everything else.
