Gir and gee go hand in hand I don’t care what anyone says

I may have never watched this until this year. But Invader Zim has been a thing for a long time in my life without fully knowing. Then about six years ago a friend said I'd be Gir girl if I'd ever watched it while it was airing.

Watching it this year has told me that friend was right. Gir is choas in a sweet little package that conflicts with Zim in a way that just hits. I love it.

Every now and then my brain goes "I'm gonna sing the Doom song!" and well you can see how much that has impacted. I'm taking it easier on the work today cause I had a shit day/night so now I'm running on fumes. At least I get to share cute new art. Though I do need to keep chipping away at my backlog cause I've been working on so much lately. It feels great to be able to draw when I feel like crap. Writing descriptions though is making me want to sing the doom song instead XP

They've replaced this computer with one that I can't sit on which limits visibility. How am I supposed to manage what they're doing if I can't see it with ease? I haven't another perch from which I can loom menacingly as well as I did with this one. Yet.

If Invaded Zim was a metalhead, his favorite subgenre would be Doom Metal

"IN 1838, THE LEFT WING HEGELIAN THINKER, KARL Gutzkow, raised the image of the Jew and Judaism as it was shaped by the "Jewish Question"--that is, by the question of whether or not Jews should be politically emancipated and admitted as citizens to the modern nation-state. He posed the question in the following dramatic terms:

Ahasverus [the eternal, wandering Jew] is the tragic consequence of Jewish hopes. There is embodied so painfully in this individual just that which the Jews wish collectively for themselves. There is in Judaism despair because though they would gladly die, they cannot. Certainly, the stubborn clinging to life by the Jews is a tragedy among their misfortunes. A messianic hope, which cannot be relinquished by even the most enlightened and purified Jews, tethers them to a bleak existence. … For Judaism has never had the urge to self-destruction [Selbstvernichtung]. It has always been greedy to preserve and maintain itself for a triumphant future. Ahasverus' tragic fate is not his violent and unsuccessful search for death, but rather his exhausted dusk-watch, his outliving of himself, his obsolescence. Time itself always remains young: new peoples arise, new heroes, new empires. Only Ahasverus stays on, a living corpse, a dead man who has not yet died.

This image of the Jewish people as a "living corpse" is a representation that haunts the very formulation of the Jewish Question, not only--but especially--in Germany. Can the Jews as a people, as a nation, as a race, and/or as a religion be incorporated into the German nation-state? As indicated by the phrases that describe the Jews as an "Ahasverus," a "dead man who has not yet died," Gutzkow represents the tragedy of the Jews as the prolongation and obsolescence of their existence, not as their "search for death." While a given thinker--such as Gutzkow, Hegel, or Schopenhauer--might support the civil emancipation of Jews, the consequences of this image--the trope of embodied livingdeath--for the political status of the Jews goes well beyond and, even, dialectically negates any argument for their emancipation. Any "solution" to the Jewish question, therefore, must not prolong their separate existence. They must be utterly incorporated into the nation-state."
