Context:
My friend and I are doing an rp where Dad-Nar and Professor Membrane are dating. We also came up with the idea that some aliens can pretty much smell whether you're a dom or a sub.
for being a member of an aggressively militarized, evil, bug-like, cyborg alien race that is completely incapable of natural reproduction,
Zim is bizarrely…
And I mean weirdly…
Paternal.
Like, there is only one dynamic/circumstance in which I’ve ever seen a softer side of him or a shred of empathy for another creature rear its head and it’s consistent across the show, movie, and comics.
Now, I’m not saying this lunatic maybe desperately needs a spare smeet or similar thrown his way yesterday ago,
DISTRACTIONS
sometimes its the drive to help and save our friends that pushes us to learn and to succeed. unfortunately its normally ''unethical'' to replicate that in a classroom setting.
I ONLY JUST FINISHED THE LAST PAGE HERE, THE FIRST TWO WERE LITERALLY FROM LAST YEAR, N A FEW MONTHS APART. LOOOOK AT MY EVOLUTION. im very proud of this and bled REALLY HARD FOR THE LAST PAGE. PLEASE ABSORB THIS.
Yet another 2 cents on Sizz-Lorr, never forget his polite little "Uhhh, sorry about that" to the human class when he broke in to snatch Zim.
Like, he broke in, snatched Zim, left, REALIZED HE CAME OFF AS RUDE, dropped Zim, DROPPED ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN, and then politely apologized for completely destroying the skool ceiling.
Thinking about how the retcon of Membrane having robot arms and the way he responds to a cry for help from his child with "Wishing isn't very scientific, son" mirrors Zim having a "cold, unfeeling robot arm" as the closest thing to a parent.
