Seriously Though If Ghosts DO Exist In The IZ Universe This Almost Certainly Would Happen Following Any

Seriously though if ghosts DO exist in the IZ universe this almost certainly would happen following any logic that they work like any handful of stereotypical ghost tropes

We can likely check off for a gruesome demise, and the whole unfulfilled major goals thing. Already down for general turmoiled time on this side of the veil and some very strong personal connections related to the whole unfinished business thing. Even barring this I just feel like that kid has been meddling way too much into worlds men were not meant to explore and entities that wish not to be harassed to also not be cursed in some way by this point. A smorgasbord of setup is there.

I think there’s a wild amount of potential we can work with given the premise of facing an enemy that will always be the most destructive, annoying, and/or dangerous thorn in your side they possibly can be, and the ONLY way to proceed from there is either acceptance to an unwinnable and bothersome struggle until the end of your days, or to go out of your way to vindicate the reputation of your greatest opponent.

You know even if Zim ever gets a lucky shot and actually kills Dib legit dead, I don’t think it’s gonna feel like much of a victory for him if it turns out the kid was right all along about the existence of ghosts

I’m not sure if Invaders have any solutions on hand for vengeful obsessive hauntings

Rainworld 5 Pebbles animation but it’s that Smiling Friends scene of Charlie punching that one demon (Jeremy) in Hell.

Too late. I’m already storyboarding it.

Just beat the Spearmaster campaign and

1. ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡ oh my godddd

2. Very interesting spice on the mechanics in this run! I was very intrigued with the changes made to the world and how the increase of enemy spawns along with Sm’s unique way of eating basically forced me to start adjusting to the most aggressive and no-bullshit playstyle yet.

3. (´༎ຶོA༎ຶོ`) Oh my fucking god.

4. This is my favorite commentary so far from a non-playing friend I’ve been filling in on the whole journey:

Additional things I haven’t yet stopped thinking about in regards to this idea:

• @patchworkpoltergeist brought up the subject of possession vulnerability which, fuck yeah, that’s a rad trail someone can walk down if they’d like to. Sounds kinda reverse-Zib if you ask me but I kinda like it. Also, knee-slappingly appropriate username there.

@zombified-queer : I don’t think Irkens have any sort of of spirituality beyond the machine

• The fact that I can’t agree more. The “Day of Da Spookies” transcript very straight forwardly confirms that Zim sees the majority of Dib’s paranormal other beliefs as complete hogwash the same as the classmates. Sure, he’s fought a ham demon and seen Mortos before, but he doesn’t buy hauntings. Him and Skoodge both set out on a whole mission to try and destroy Dib’s belief in ghosts and demonstrate pretty well that they’ve only done a very small amount of what might be called research on the subject. I heavily doubt Irkens widely have any conception of afterlife that is not an ascension/reincarnation path through technology rather than an innate spiritual essence. Something like the Martians’ hologram manuals are about as close to talking to disembodied spirits as he’s ever gotten. Which…. Brings up some interesting springboard to ponder if/how humans can become ghosts but not the off-worlders, or more specifically, the question about the existence of Irken souls.

• All of us knowing that at least for the first several minutes to days, Zim’s initial response to new obstacles/threats has often been obstinate aggression or basically a paranoid breakdown, and how fun either option would be to play around with until he comes to terms with the fact that this is not a problem you can just violence away, fend off, OR hide from.

• The horribly dark comedic value of picturing that damn apparition in some corner of the base giving the stink eye of the century intentionally from Zim’s periphery. End of his rope and frustrated Zim asks him if he doesn’t have something better to be doing and, no, actually, no. He genuinely, literally, furiously doesn’t.

You know even if Zim ever gets a lucky shot and actually kills Dib legit dead, I don’t think it’s gonna feel like much of a victory for him if it turns out the kid was right all along about the existence of ghosts
