@alt-zadr-b1tch3z day 2 💜

We have such sights to show you

[inquisitor-apologist]

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.

Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.

Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

"Normal Human Prom Movie"

Zim knows that this silly human award is pointless; being crowned 'Prom Queen' does nothing to further his mission, it's not a part of any plan or scheme, it doesn't mean anything. But- standing under the bright pink lights with a crown upon his head, it feels like he has been chosen by his, albeit lesser, peers: his merit seen and validated. It feels how he imagines it would feel to return home to Irk victorious. Zim, perhaps for the first time since arriving on Earth, feels truly happy to be here and nothing can take it from him.

maybe the real spacerats were the furiends we made along the way

[sga-owns-my-soul]

do you think ford and rodney fought about who got shotgun when they first started going on missions

bc i absolutely think they did

[emeraldspiral]

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.

31 Doodles Of Halloween Year 10 | Day 23 | Invader Zim

I was literally so obsessed with Invader Zim when I was younger that I began to speak to myself in the third person and it affected my posture. Like I would stand how they stand with my hips pushed forward and my shoulders pushed back and my wrists bent as much as possible. Oh something similar happened with the subject of yesterday's picture too, where I got so obsessed with vampires that I taught myself how to sprint completely silently and also very quickly. I also taught myself to walk so it looked like I was gliding. Haven't kept up with any of that tho. I should try doing all of that again. I'd love to improve my posture and sprint through the night like a fucked up ghost.

SO I MADE A ROOM WITH STARSCREAM, SOUNDWAVE, ZIM. AND DIB AND UHHHH

WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY I CAN'T EVEN

[applesjuice]

How are the others taking Kieran's death ? Won't they think there's something fishy ? (Legends AU)

I'm SCREAMING this is the first ask I've gotten in ten whole years and it's about KIERAN 🤣

Putting beneath a read more because this got stupid long...

But real talk, Carmine would be taking it the hardest she'd be a mess for a while. In my mind the plot of LA takes places over about two years to complete the pokedex, so by then she'd have graduated school, and is trying to redefine who she is since so much of her identity was tied into being a big sister. She'd be antagonistic towards Briar for a while, blaming her for bringing them down there in the first place. But I like to think Carmine comes to understand that adults are not perfect after the fallout that comes to Briar and the Paladean Pokemon League as a result of a minor dying on a sponsored exception.

Briar I think would write her book but she'd have fallen out of favor in the academic world due to her irresponsibility. She'd face harsh criticism from the public and the guilt she'd feel would be tremendous because Kieran, despite being a little shit at the time, was a child. I like to believe two years later she's really struggling with her career, getting denied grants and project funding, having her papers get denied by academic journals. She's a mess.

Geeta and the Paladean Pokemon League would face harsh scrutiny over allowing this specific expedtion to occur. For years they refused to allow expeditions down in Area Zero due to a lack of strong enough, accredited (re: champion level) trainers who were not bogged down by workload. Its a media shitstorm. A research team with only three children as the safety trainers? Yes one of them is a certified Champion of their league but they are still a child with only a few months experience, and the other two were strong trainers in their own right but not accredited under Paladean standards. There wasnt enough prep or vetting. Geeta would as a result step down as chairwoman due to the backlash. Atm there is no top champion so if someone beats the elite 4 there's a hold on becoming a champion level trainer while Nemona is being trained for the position.

Now the BB Academy Elite 4, they're shook. Drayton takes it the hardest because he turned down going, so he's like "what if I was there what if there was one more trainer could I have prevented this". The other 3 did see Kieran as a friend, despite his recent behavior. Before that he was Carmine's little brother, and Crispin and him were pretty friendly too, what with being in the same grade. Yeah the kid was a bully but imagine coming to school one day and there's an announcement one of your clasmates died. Thats traumatic!

Now, the protagonist. Oh boy. Regardless of if they're Juliana or Florian, they'd be pretty traumatized. They considered Kieran a friend. At one point they loved his company, he was so kind and sweet and they already blamed themselves a bit for the whole Ogerpon situation. Yeah Kieran took it to the extreme with his reaction, but I find Kieran a really interesting character with how the game wrote him. He's a child, was lied to by the people closest with him, and he doesnt seem the type to easily connect with others. But the one time he finally finds someone he connects with, we continuously and unrelentlessly crush him at something he enjoys, join his family in treating him like he has no agency by hiding the truth of his special interest from him, and go out of our way to disinclude him with his sister.

And like of course Ogerpon got close to us we spent so much time with her, getting her to trust us and know us. I see this take a lot that Kieran just wants to enslave legendaries but thats definitely not it. He's trying to get back at us. We took something special from him, and he never really had the chance to put in his bid for Ogerpon's attention and he knew it was selfish, but he cared so much for her as someone that was always disincluded, bullied, looked down on by others, and he had to at least try because Ogerpon to him, is a projection of himself. He had to TRY even if as he stated, he knew it was wrong.

And then we take his spot as Champion from him that he like, harmed himself and those around him for so he could at least have *something* that put him on the same level as you. Like we as the protagonist are the villain of Kieran's story (sorry for the tangent I swear it's relevant), but he's 14 and had a mental breakdown. And he got killed before we could reconcile or get through to him.

I think the protagonist would do a lot of soul searching because their first thought is "i should have taken the blast." Or "i could have stopped it" and then they had the humbling realization of "what could i even have done? We're the same age. That could have been me, i could have died" because even if the protagonist would never like, try to catch Terapagos immediately with a Masterball, its still a wild and untrained monster with too much power. There's no telling what would have happened if Kieran wasn't there. It'd incredibly eye opening and humbling and I think they'd strive to be a better more understanding person from this. The whole game people are hyping them up, telling them theyre so strong, they're the best, etc. Thats gotta give you a bit of a big head. I think they'd look to the adults they can trust, their mom, their teachers who are genuinely amazing people, and lean on them for support.

And when Kieran gets back and kind of has no idea who they are, and here's that sweet kid they remember with all of his love for pokemon and battling, except he's so much healthier and confident about it (and traumatized in different ways thanks Kamado and Volo). They'd probably be so amazed by him and thankful for this second chance.

Tldr: i should probably just write a fic for this it got stupid long...

[chellodello]

Been obsessed with tumblruser @paynomindtotheinsantiy’s wonderful fic ‘Your Eyes are Red’ and have been doodling things from it.

Big fan of how Vampire!Dib manages to be even more of a mess than normal Dib somehow; I love that for him.

ZADR/PMAZR love triangle crackfick idea:

After living for many years on earth squandering his budget while failing to take it over, the Tallest tell Zim they're cutting him off and he's going to have to fend for himself if he wants to complete his mission. So Zim needs human money to keep the lights on and busking on the street isn't paying the bills. A soap opera gives him the idea to marry someone rich and kill them off for the inheritance. Realizing that Professor Membrane is the richest man in town, Zim sets out to seduce him, gleeful about how much it will piss Dib off to see his father with him and then how crushed he'll be when Zim murders him, takes all his money, and leaves Dib and Gaz broke. He thinks it will be easy because Dib and Gaz are in college and living in dormitories. They're seeing their father even less than they did when they were kids, allowing Zim to work Membrane without either of them knowing until it's too late.

He applies for a position as a lab tech at Membrane Labs and initially tries to introduce himself as a stranger, but abandons the persona when Membrane instantly recognizes him as "my son's little foreign friend". Zim connives to keep Dib from finding out about his scheme and drive a wedge between him and Membrane in order to get him cut out of the will. He does so by claiming that he doesn't want Dib to know his "best friend" is working for his father because it would make him feel betrayed because he hates Membrane and has said all sorts of nasty things about him behind his back. Membrane is hurt to hear what his son thinks of him, but Zim makes him swear not to let on that he knows anything of Dib's resentment. Then he consoles Membrane by saying he doesn't believe any of the nasty things Dib has said and blames his resentment on his own insecurities about not being able to live up to such a great man.

Zim spends some time working Membrane, building up a relationship with him and gaining his confidence, mostly through pretending to be close to Dib and relaying things to him that Dib won't talk about. But when he tries to make a move, Membrane backs away, saying it would be extremely unethical for him to have a relationship with a young employee and that it was inappropriate to let their relationship become as emotionally intimate as it already has. Zim tries to salvage the situation by suggesting he quit working at Membrane Labs to remove the ethical concerns, but Membrane pleads with him not to throw away a promising career, insisting that it would make no difference as Membrane only sees him as a friend. Zim suspects that Membrane does have feelings for him, or is at least emotionally invested enough in the friendship that he can't bring himself to set boundaries he knows he should, and if he backs off just a little he can continue to work Membrane until he's ready to compromise his morals and cross the line with him.

But just when Membrane starts to fall for him, Dib unexpectedly shows up at the house and catches him and Zim having a romantic moment. Zim thinks his plan is ruined, until he realizes he can twist the situation to his advantage by emphasizing how close he and Membrane have gotten without him knowing, so his ire will be directed at his father for paying more attention to his sworn enemy than he's paid Dib his whole life. This puts Membrane on the defensive so he hits Dib back with all the stuff Zim fed him about how Dib is just resentful he isn't as successful as his father and how it's his own fault he's a failure because he chooses to pursue paranormal nonsense instead of real science just to spite him. This gets Dib so angry he doesn't even care to try to convince Membrane that Zim is trying to seduce him for one of his evil plans. Even if he did, Zim wouldn't have to worry about it anyway because now Membrane will just think he's making it up because he doesn't want him to be happy with the only person he's ever been able to lean on for emotional support.

After their explosive fight, Dib goes off to sulk for a bit, calms down, clears his head, and remembers that no matter what's going on between him and his dad he should prioritize stopping Zim above anything else. Plus, if he can expose Zim this time Membrane's really going to have to eat his words. So he decides to feign having "seen the light". Instead of trying to convince Membrane that Zim is an alien, Dib pretends to be supportive of their relationship and want to spend more time with both of them, as a pretense for butting in on their dates to keep an eye on Zim and look for opportunities to publicly expose him.

The scheme starts to become quite tiresome for Zim. He tires of pretending to like Membrane, tires of having to be on guard for Dib's attempts at unmasking him, and tires of always having to think 2 steps ahead to keep the charade going. It becomes so emotionally draining that during one of his and Dib's "I'll stop you!/You'll never defeat me!" exchanges at Zim's front door, he has an outburst and starts ranting about how much he's not been getting any twisted enjoyment out of his plan to seduce Dib's dad.

"I listen to him whine about his problems for hours, but does he ever ask about how I'm doing? He talks to me like I'm an idiot who doesn't know an isotope from an isobar! And worst of all, he's boring. I've never met someone with so much scientific prowess and so little imagination!"

This gets a laugh out of Dib and he and Zim start talking shit about Membrane being full of himself, emotionally unavailable, and too narrow-minded to achieve his full potential as a scientist. Not like Dib. His father can't see it, but Dib's more of a real scientist than Membrane will ever be, because he has the open-mindedness to see things Membrane can't and discover and create things he never will. That's what makes him Zim's only truly worthy adversary.

Something happens between Zim and Dib then. Maybe they make-out or maybe they have a full-on shag. Dib leaves pretty quickly after and goes running to Gaz because he's freaking out and has to tell SOMEBODY. Dib is worried about what this all means for him and Zim. But Gaz points out that he's stupidly missed a golden opportunity to break up Zim and their dad by getting to Membrane first and confessing what happened. Zim's probably with him right now, doing some preemptive damage control to get Membrane on his side so he won't listen to Dib. Gaz turns out to be right on the money. Membrane feels betrayed by Dib and more convinced than ever that the only reason he objects to his relationship with Zim is because he's jealous, prompting him to cut Dib off financially and cut him out of his life for being "spoiled, vindictive, and ungrateful".

Soon after, Zim convinces Membrane to propose and then suggests getting married straight away at the courthouse. They don't tell Dib, but he catches wind of it anyway and heads over to stop them. Anticipating this, Zim traps Dib and gloats to him that he's finally won while admitting that their little tryst was special to him and he really did mean all those things he said to him before about Dib being the only human he could ever respect as an equal.

He leaves Dib with a video feed so he can watch helplessly as his father is about to marry his arch nemesis, only for Gaz to end up thwarting the ceremony by playing a recording of Zim's earlier gloating, revealing the whole scheme to marry Membrane for his money. Zim he was so focused on Dib that he forgot Gaz even existed and never made any efforts at preventing her from interfering.

Zim bolts from the courthouse, having wasted several months courting Dib's dad, only for the scheme to blow up in his face at the last minute. He returns to his base, which is now in a pretty bad state with no income from the Tallest anymore and no human money to purchase the components he needs locally to fix the place up. Zim is feeling pretty down. Out of desperation, he calls the Tallest to plead with them to give him back his salary. It's impossible for him to do his job now. He needs funds for his evil schemes and now he can't even fuel his Voot Cruiser, so he's basically stranded. The Tallest are delighted to hear this because it means there's no way for Zim to ever make it back to them, so they can finally tell him his mission was fake, they hate him, and they're not wasting another penny on him just to keep the charade going.

Zim is devastated to learn he's been such a fool. An even bigger fool than Membrane. Thinking about how much he'd laughed behind Membrane's back makes him think about how much the Tallest may have done it to him. He feels sick. GIR sees that he's upset and tries to cheer him up, and it finally clicks for Zim that GIR was never a special advanced top secret model. That was another one of the Tallests' lies. He can't stand to look at him. Can't stand to look at the walls of his deteriorating base. He needs to get out.

He runs out to get some air and find some quiet place to be alone with his thoughts. But Dib finds him, and he's not happy. Even though he won, he's still pissed off. He doesn't even care that Membrane wants to apologize now for doubting him. It's only made him realize that he never should've had to fight so hard to earn his dad's respect and get him to listen and believe him. His relationship with his father is worse now than ever before, and it's all Zim's fault. Zim tells Dib that at least he can take solace in knowing that he's won because Zim can't continue his mission any longer, it was a sham from the start, and at least the person he was trying so hard to prove himself to actually does care about him and think very highly of him, unlike the Tallest. He offers to surrender himself to Dib, but Dib isn't having that after the Florpus incident. What would be the point anyway? He's so beyond not caring anymore about proving himself right to his dad or anybody else. Zim suggests that Dib strike him down instead and put him out of his misery. Again, Dib turns him down. Zim doesn't know what to do if both of those options are off the table, and Dib asks if they can just lie in the grass and talk for awhile.

They spend all night together talking about how no one appreciates them except each other, how special and unique they are to each other, how unimaginably empty their lives would've been if they didn't have each other all these years, and how they both don't know how to move forward after the realizations they've come to about their hollow pursuit of recognition and affection from their respective father figures.

After another make-out/shag Dib suggests that they fly away and figure themselves out together. Zim dismisses the idea as an impossibility due to the lack of fuel available for either of their ships. But Dib suggests that together they could pool their resources into building a ship that runs on an alternative fuel source that can get them off the planet. They do so, but before they leave, Dib gets his relationship with his father to a slightly better place, accepting his apologies even if he hasn't quite forgiven him. Zim and Dib take off together and Zim suggests that their first stop should be the planet of flying space bunnies and space sodas.
