6: Any fan characters?

Goodness yes, goodness yes! Thank you!

I’ve been a touch shy about putting them out there out there; I’ll try to be succinct. 5 of them so far.

Krim, Tess, and Scoot are a close-knit Irken trio that met together in training on Devastis. Krim’s the shortest, but technically from the oldest stock of the three. She used to be a Vort-stationed exobiologist before circumstances muscled her into a military pathway. Scoot’s a reticent pilot, specializing in frontline mechs and heavy gunnery, and Tess is the go-getter link who pushed the three of them to succeed into the elite rank together. In the present, she’s a cutthroat captain running missions where the empire deems suitable, while Krim abruptly and without explanation disappeared in her continued training to become an invader.

Kwiz-Leeg, formal alias “prisoner 824”, is a captive researcher remaining on Vort. Same shit, new management. He has a work history going back with Krim that he holds an immense amount of contempt over. Rather than attempt escape or sabotage, he’s been fully cooperative with the Armada’s takeover and demands in an effort to procure less cruelty and scrutiny for himself and an unnamed brother also held on the planet.

Yog-Zahn is free Vortian renegade, no relation to the above. An independent bounty hunter that lurks the far fringes of the armada’s current reach and collects Irken PAKs as trophies. By force, obviously.

13: Do you believe there are any canon pairings?

If “Mary” and “Fred” weren’t supposed to be bickering old married couple coded then idk what the hell is anymore. Other than that, I think it’s confidently safe to assume source material is knitted from a pretty loveless fabric when it comes to this franchise. I get mighty tempted to interpret Red and Purple’s dynamic some funny kinda way, but I don’t assume it’s what Vasquez had in mind at all.

18:Least favorite thing about Invader Zim?

My top answer for this was very little the fault of the media and more grief of the circumstances it found itself in- Network bs and all that- but still carried over into the comics: the sheer amount of engaging threads the series would toss at you and then just… leave loose and never pick back up again. More villains (interesting ones too) than could count on one hand that swear and tease a return which never happens, but I guess at this point it’s kind of its own running gag. And not even just villains, actually. Whole lore introductions and (at least potentially) plot-relevant side characters that dart kind of in and out of the periphery and MAYBE there will be acknowledgement down the road that it even happened or mattered.

I love the absurd whackiness of Invader Zim AND I love the continuity and attention to detail it has nurtured since season 2. What doesn’t always rub me right is how, rather than mix and juggle the flippant, random humor elements and the commitment to serialization together, this franchise seems to just flip at coin at any given moment and go all-in for one or the other.

Question(s) source

I stand offended at these lies,

it’s actually more like this

Never forget about the very tiny Irken flags probably still haphazardly lodged in Dib’s organs I suppose he’s just kinda living with

Like take that you little shit, have fun the next time you have to get through airport security, hope you one day have to get an mri, hah

Many years of wondering since my childhood why the design of Devastis always scratched my brain in such a satisfying way, and I finally realized it’s because it always struck a sentimental nerve for the way it vibed me the way that one level from Scaler did

Can someone lend me a good cut or some screenies of the Tallests from Enter the Florpus specifically from that imaginary trial going on in Zim’s head? I’m thinking very hard again about how drippy they looked in those robes 👉👈

Yo I am about to have SO many lileep for my team

Joke aside, was just pretty darn excited about this find. I know they’re fairly common, but, someof the biggest crinoid stem fossils I’ve seen in person and this rock was chuck full of them. Think I’ll hold onto this.
