Invader Larb - Tumblr Posts
Like nah you’re right and you should say it. I’ll die mad and ever curious about how a single invader managed to pull such a fast one over the literal most intelligent species in the universe. Irkens are virtually NOTHING without their Vortian-appropriated technology. It’s already tragically ironic enough that the spearhead ship of their conquesting Armada was majority-designed by the very people it would turn right back around and point its canons at one day. From what Purple once mentioned, Vort-original spacecrafts have all but been eradicated. All remaining Vortians live as either fugitives or slaves on their own home world. Like, I highly doubt at all it was an easy assignment, the couch was just a very enticing bonus reward to think about. The vortians were at least a civilized opponent to blend in with and live beside while the slaughtering rat people…. were the slaughtering rat people.
The Vortians’ history is so tied into Irk’s own and we’ve never as much as confirmed what their ball of rock even looks like. No cityscapes, no intact family units (it’s still an open question whether or not they even have females), and nothing between the A and B of how Larb single handedly brought them from a fortress holding their own to heeling before the Tallests. Did he and Lard Nar ever go toe to toe when shit really hit the fan? Did they interact at all, maybe not in a hostile manner? Hell, are Larb’s actions at all connected to the fact that Lard Nar is a free but very vigilante individual while prisoner 777 isn’t? I voted for Larb and it was near completely biased from how I’m begging to know more about the planet he was assigned for too.
But I’m equally curious to know what he’s been up to since then. We haven’t really checked in on any invader that has completed their mission except for Skoodge. And Skoodge was fired for his success, title and glory handed off to some nobody. But what of that guy? Do invaders return back into the elite draw pile once they’ve completed their assignment? I was going to assume maybe in the case of a sentient species left alive, the conquer could stay behind to keep running their operation with an iron fist. After all, Zim’s fantasy happy ending so often involves ruling the humans himself, but I think Zim might be really off… conquered goods belong to the empire, and invaders are just the means of taking.
Control Brains instead are the shown mechanism for running planet-scale faculties. So like,,? Yeah what’s Larb going to be up to then? Where next for probably the single most respected soldier of the entire fleet?
Skoodge has been excluded in the name of actually underrated characters. Had the series not been canceled, he was already on schedule to join the main cast on Earth anyway.
Tak was never officially an invader to begin with.
And Tenn’s unfortunately failed in her mission, as far as implications go.
