Crikkit ate shit for cool kid reasons and meanwhile irl I ate shit because a pothole derailed my trike chain

Bruises and battle scars are cool 😎

[valentinerosse]

I want Zim to kiss Dib's electrocution burn scars to make them all better.

Comfort drawings on ur way + more of Dib's scars

Zim heard that the kissing rituals can help your sad human to feel better

He's not used to this level of care, give him some time

liking invader zim in an insane freak abnormal way is so hard

like youll talk to a normal person whos like oh yeah i love invader zim! and they mean that they maybe remember watching it as a kid and own a shirt from hot topic with gir on it and generally have vague positive feelings about it (this is a fine and good way to enjoy something this is not me calling anyone a fake fan)

vs. me who can and will give you an extensive list of unreleased episodes that dont exist and would love to tell you all about the lore of almighty tallest miyuki like ok now im embarrassed. what do you mean you dont know who tak is

[crabussy]

I bet it feels real good to be a sailing ship when they tighten the rigging

[crabussy]

wrong. everyone get more perverted about marine vessels now and I'm not kidding

Happy Anniversary to Invader Zim!  Here have some smiley Zims, some of whom are actually genuinely smiley and some of whom are like, totally fine, not afraid or having some kind of weird moment at all.

ZIM & DIB NAME CALLING

I’ve decided to compile a list of every stupid name Zim and Dib have ever called each other. This includes the unaired pilot and incomplete episodes. Zadr writers, behold the pet nickname master list.

From Zim to Dib

Diaper Dib (context: both were volunteering at an orphanage)

Dib human

Dib worm

Earth boy

Earth smell

Earth stink

Feeble Dib thing

Fool

Good friend Dib (context: faking friendship with Dib to destroy Keef)

Gullible stink creature

Human Dib

Idiotic human

Insolent fool boy

Miserable human

Sad little Dib

Sad little earth monkey

Sandwich boy (context: Dib was bologna)

Squirrel boy (context: Dib was in a squirrel suit)

Squirrel Dib (context: Dib was in a squirrel suit)

Stink meat

From Dib to Zim

Space boy

Space monster

Interesting things to note: Zim almost never repeats names. He uses “fool” and “earth boy” twice. All other names are unique. Dib is much less creative, simply referring to Zim as “Zim” the majority of the time. He calls him “space boy” three times and “space monster” only once.

an important thing to remember about scam calls is that they will try to make you panic and act quickly without thinking. this is different from real world paperwork and such which is mostly very very slow.

#i do appreciate the dino having a flip phone in 2025 #flip phones were awesome

Why the past tense? I've still got mine, and I bought it at the beginning of 2020! I've lived 31 years without a smartphone and intend to continue that way.

[thisusernameisunique]

How do you navigate when people tell you to use "the app" to do whatever needs doing. I dunno, menus, paying bills, checking prescriptions.

Sometimes I want to go back to dumb flip phones because I hate the idea of always needing "the app" but I never do.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

I have not yet encountered anything necessary for life that can't be done either in person or in a web browser.

#OP what sort of paradise are you living in??? gods I'm jealous #my landlord requires a phone just to get into our damn buildings (no I'm not joking) #(no there is no other way) #don't even get me started on my fucking university

huh. I think you should start biting people.

[hotvampireadjacent]

I was reading something about Whitestown, Indiana and my eyes nearly popped out of my head thinking it was one of THOSE comically racist towns. Nice to know, at least the name, wasn’t that.

[apricops]

Racisttown, named after the abolitionist Stopbeing Racist,

[flyfeline]

That's nothing. Check THIS shit out

[hotvampireadjacent]

WHAT THE HELL

[biglawbear]

George Washington Hitler and his son Dr. Gay Hitler,

This post has been getting notes for like 4 times longer than the shitty job that I was thinking about whitestown for

Tumblr keeps giving me alerts specifically about people liking this.

And you should. Look how soft Jax is here <333

[zacrucian]

I used to make A LOT of cringe motivational posts back in the day. Like tons of long texts about how life sucks but it's worth living with oversaturated photos of the sky I'd take myself. That weird ass creature still lives in me and whispers things in my ear, so I thought why not humor it? So today's cringe motivational post is for my fellow People Who Create Art. Seriously, guys. Please don't be afraid <3

[seasonallydefective]

I’ve needed this for a while so I finally changed my icon on fandom Xitter

[starlitvesper]

Maybe I should change my icon here too? I still have IZ fics I need to wrap up though (and I still love IZ my focus is just shifting)
