WHY AM I HERE?

This is an invader zim OC ask blog...go ahead...ASK main: coolsketchablestuff

[stranded-but-here]

Some things I've decide are canon that don't change anything:

-Zims uniform is now a dress, you can't change my mind, NB for the win

-splek and zed use the transmitter to watch television and their favorite genre is fantasy

-Qek likes salted crackers

-membrane is trying his best and is less dismissive

-gaz will be here eventually

-gir should get more attention, so I've decided he will be the one who plays videogames with gaz behind the scenes

Bro upon seeing an old buddy post I really want to post too but I have no idea/inspiration *sobs* I got no story idea and I'm just really lost but just know I'm still alive I suppose and once I get an idea I'll attempt to work again (I say for the 7th time(

[stranded-but-here]

where have I been?

This is a post basically giving a short “update” on how I’ve been and basically explaining why I keep saying I’ll return but never do

tldr: the big sad makes it hard, but ill try to return whenever I can, to help I recommend just sending messages or asks basically saying “hey,,,,update,,,,”

as for the long answer, here are some trigger warnings:

tw: mental health, just kinda venty on main, me not doing so good, school, swearing

ok, so if you’re here than that means you want to know how I’ve been. thank you. I have been doing absolutely shit, just fucking terrible. my mental health has gone downhill so bad I was worried I may end up in the hospital (i havent yet though). 

I started this blog in grade 9 and lost interest due to no ideas, but as I tried to have ideas I started having more fun, I was even reached out too by other creators and made some friends, the group kinda died but it was lots of fun while it lasted. 

unfortunately with the ending of the group (due to just inactivity on the discord server, dont worry we’re still all on good terms :D) so did my motivation to keep working. another year goes by and im in grade 11, the pandemic is still going on and I now have those issues, this is around the time my mental health is at its worse, I miss my friends, mind you I dont have many so that doesnt help either, school is hard and my anxiety and depression get worse. 

basically what im saying is the big sad is making living hard. But ive recently been trying to pick up on hobbies and I remembered this existed (once again) and I am trying to bring it back. I really am I swear but its so hard to even want to get out of bed. so im sorry about this but I will try to return as soon as I can before my motivation goes away. 

if you want to try to help me than maybe just shoot me an ask/message basically just to be motivational, knowing my work isnt for nothing helps a lot :)

As I promised here's some sketches I did today!!!

Kinda trying this out to get back into the swing of things and I decided this would be a neat thing to share!!! If anyone knows some stuffs about homestuck that should say right there a little more info on Qek!

I'm still considering making godtiers for Splek and Zed becuase I don't know how much character stuff that would give away, I'll keep thinking about it tho :)

[stranded-but-here]

Super excited to see you returning! I’d also love to see your other art!

EEEEEE YES! !! once I'm done doing commission work I'll get to making the side stuff!!! Since schools starting and I'm working on the update I will try to tag the art with # not update or something like that idk, but for now I'll probably do a few things back to get into the swing of things before I do a whole lot before the update, since it's gonna be a big one. My "in a week" guesstimate had shown to be wrong and not close enough at all. Along with some possibly upcoming health problems it may be postponed longer, but I won't get much into it.

For now lemme say this for the update: expect a style change and heavily asker interactive story, something along the lines of the first acts of homestuck :)

[stranded-but-here]

Oh also, if I make sketches in my sketchbook unrelated to the plot would people like to see them? Like if I make godtiers (homestuck thing) of the characters seen so far do people want to know? :0

[stranded-but-here]

ALRIGHTY!!! HIATUS OVER!!! (KINDA) I wad reading through the blog and getting hyper to get back to work, but since the next arc is actually going to be in an entirely new style with a fun, heavily interactive element it will take me at least a week to do, so hopefully y'all are hyped until then! :)

[stranded-but-here]

Some art I made that I never really posted.

I play dnd so I made my characters as dnd classes. Splek is a bard, Zed is a fighter and Qek is an artificer.

Thems having fun doin a little ditty with Jaz from @jaz-transmits-official !!!

Also, an update: I am considering returning but only because I miss these characters and I hate that I never fully showed off their stories let alone got finished the main arc. If people want I will return :)

[medical-irken-jaz]

((SO. ITS BEEN A WHILE, I KNOW. I AM NOT DEAD!!))

((I was a wonderfully tired inclusion of the class of 2020, and had to do a LOT near the end just to ensure I even got a diploma. It's been a little rough BUT, I finally graduated yesterday officially and now I'm FREE. Kind of, still tired down by quarantine, but free of the stress of school and graduation is past.))

((Thank you to everyone who's stuck around through all of these random spikes of inactivity and who's supported me through all the bumps and fucking mountains in the road, and on that note have helped me reach 400 FOLLOWERS, WHICH I AM ECSTATIC ABOUT,, You've all kept me going for so long and I owe it all to you and your support,, thank you all so much ;; 🧡🧡))

((For story purposes, Jaz's blog is still at a bit of a stand-still, however I will be working more on @the-warmonger-crew, which has a highly interactive and brand new story that is definitely not for the feint of heart, but it has lots of anon interaction for story choices and immerses you all in the story much more than Jaz's has and I'm actually super excited about it,, I hope you guys will give the Warmonger the love and support you've given Jaz ;w;))

((I'm not dead! I'm making my gradual return back to my comics and now that I have time will be trying to do more! Again thank you all so much for sticking by me!))

Explanation/proper hiatus

Hello, I am super sorry I haven't been active at all lately. The truth is I've been unmotivated to draw and that's like...actually affected my day to day life??? (I am getting help about it don't worry) I also semi slipped out of the IZ Fandom but that's because I have to be more focused on a other story I'm making so this blog will be properly put on hold. I have things in real life going on and the next major update will be a HUGE one. I wanted to get the main story done as fast as possible as soon as possible but with how everything is playing out for me irl I can't do that. For those people still following me and more joining thanks for sticking around! Once I'm back I'll be back for a bit like I was at the beginning! :)

Why can’t there be more than 2 tallests? How does the hierarchy work?

Ok, mod here, this question has been in my inbox for what feels like a few months and its slowly driving me insane because I dont know how to have a character answer it so here, I will:

Splek is a child, he is too young to rule, so he just...doesnt

There

Now this can get out of my inbox

[stranded-but-here]

Zim, you good?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

(This goes on for awhile)

[stranded-but-here]

Well aren't you quite the artist! Those are wonderful, Care to show us some more drawings? How about one you made that you like a lot? Does Splek know how to draw as well? -Sent by the lovely Advert :D

I usually draw things then, then throw them out, but here! I drew something JUST FOR YOU! YOU!!!

I dont draw that much but it's fun! :D

[stranded-but-here]

Dib, What do you think of the growing number of aliens?

Its enjoyable but weird...especially "Qek"...

"Shut"

[stranded-but-here]

Hey Zed, do you have a favorite game you and Splek play?? :0

I drew those myself! ME! Do...do you like them?
