INVADER CON POSTED ON INSTAGRAM

Jhonen might be back soon
WE CAN GET THIS INVADERCON ANNOUNCEMENT EARLY! LETS MEET THE GOAL!
Not a tumblr poll, but there's a Zim character poll that InvaderCon posted today on twitter!
Tell me about the hypnotic pimple episode
*singing* Riiiise of theeee Ziiiitboy!
First off - this episode is the only IZ-related thing to name a TvTropes trope! The trope's rather predictably about when someone gets a pimple and everyone treats it as something horrible. It's just called "Rise of Zitboy", though, which gave me problems with remembering the actual episode title for a while.
Secondly, I just have to bring up the bacon in the soap :D
- Zim had to take off a wrapper. GIR went to a LOT of trouble to get that bacon in there
- remember how gir almost always has a pig (live or rubber) with him? what if...
- Richard Horvitz has said that this is his favorite interaction, iirc :D I can see why
- He's also put actual bacon in an actual soap bar at one of the invadercons and showed it to Rikki Simons (who was horrified)!
Acne Blast Man is hilarious (and gets a callback in Tak's ep, it's playing in the background during a scene) :D
Gaz just totally ignoring Zim is excellent, and when Zim just gives up on her? even better!
Zim also turned "bad horror movie idea" into "actually kinda scary" really fucking fast. "Release him, Smackey. He is part of the collective now." like what the fuck??
"Oh, you'll open [your eyes]. You have to breathe sometime." There are a few possible explanations for this!
- Irkens breathe through their eyes - er, excuse me, ocular implants. Personally I hc their PAK breathes for them, but this is a neat hc nonetheless!
- Zim thinks humans breathe through their eyes (and their nose is just for smelling? maybe irkens' antennae are for hearing and smelling, but they breathe through their PAK?). Seems likely, given zim's previous lack of knowledge on humans
- Neither of the above; Zim was just trying to be confusing (and working).
Also, during the climax, when Zim and Dib are just...like...hyperfocused on each other,,,,, I feel like that's how they are almost 100% of the time and we just can't see it
This also happens in the pilot! (They're actually in a crowded lunchroom there)
Also also, Zim really just..took Dib's feedback and forgot about it, huh? I'm pretty sure he didn't plant attack gnomes underground, and Dib suggests tunneling under Zim's base in The Girl Who Cried Gnome, so it's still gotta be a viable option by then.
fucked up when gir said this in the show
10 year anniversary of the zadr puppet kiss! Rejoice!
