Hello Ive Been Thinking About This A Lot Lately. The Anonymity Of Tumblr Means That I Associate My Idea/image

hello I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The anonymity of tumblr means that I associate my idea/image of you with your icon and sometimes I look at people’s icons and I’m like ‘hmmm….what is that and why?’ 

so pls reblog this and comment in the tags the meaning behind your icon and why you chose it. this is a social experiment. do it for science pls.

His mother’s name is “Puppet Queen” hfhfhhfd

See y’all at the races find me somewhere like

Invader Zim looks like this btw

Was nobody going to tell me there’s a racehorse named “Invader Zim”?

Harsh truth, Invader Skoodge is a nastyass little dude

for over ten years I have pretty consistently been defending him and for the most part still will, but actually, I’m cringing and recoiling back from him just as much as the Tallests are in this scene, now that I’m paying better attention to the sound effects. Honestly, I feel like they would be a little justified in their opinion of him even if he wasn’t short if this is his state of being.

- The already unkept way he presents himself during such an important moment

- The sound of flies buzzing around him, which is virtually the auditory equivalent of stink lines in cartoons

- why is he constantly farding in front of the supreme leaders

- WHY ARE HIS FOOTSTEPS SO MOIST AND JUICY SOUNDING

Less joking/elaborated answer- personally headcanon that Irken cuticle is naturally a very hostile environment for pathogens to exist on. There’s some room to potentially argue that they have a much more alkaline surface ph than we do, and their skin was already shown to possess anti-parasitic chemical properties. I don’t think they actually use water to clean themselves because I assume their self grooming habits are mostly about exfoliation. Their skin’s more durable than it looks and regenerates super quickly.

I DO like the dust bath idea, albeit knowing how dirt-free (and dirt repulsed) modern Irken society seems to be.

My original thought, however, cause of how I got so hung up on that “cleansing chalk” quote, was something literally like the body rock. Like, pumice stones.

Cause otherwise idk who the hell uses bar soap dry in this manner, or more importantly, why the original sound effects were scratchy and rough.

how does zim bathe himself if earth's water is too dangerously polluted for him does he just import space water or something does his protective paste slathering double as cleansing does he just go around stinking all over the place that would contradict my headcanon of zim having a unique and pleasant alien aroma

I am voluntarily choosing to believe this is how the Glasgow Wonka Warehouse Experience actually concluded
