New Intro/Bio thingy

Greetings, people of the internet, and welcome to my humble Tumblr blog.

My name is Goldfish. I'm an engineering student of the medical persuasion who likes Ninjago and Invader Zim, the latter of which is the main focus of this blog.

I prefer they/them pronouns, but I also don't mind being referred to with she/her.

This is the place where I let my hyperfixation run free. I dabble in art, writing, and music, with my main ongoing projects being my Irken Dib fanfiction (#irken infection), Roleswap AU (#expedition irk) and Invader Zim Lego builds (#lego zim)

I'm also a collector of many things and I often post photos of the various pins, plushies, and figurines I acquire.

I don't usually create shipping content, but I do hold the very strong opinion of "harassment is bad, shippers should be allowed to do their thing in peace". Shippers and antis are both welcome here as long as we keep it civil. I'm open to discussion, but I don't want my replies to become a battleground in a shipping war.

Getting some ref sheets up for art fight. First newcomer of this year is Lake, one of my DnD characters. They're a multiverse traveler who has survived the destruction of multiple timelines, including their own.

I am finally free from school for the summer. And I finally have another fanfiction update. Content warning for graphic descriptions of injuries

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

This past term was absolutely brutal. I'm happy it's done and I'm happy I could finally get this chapter out after all the complete rewrites.

So, it turns out that Zim killed five Tallest instead of four...?

Happy Second Birthday to The Irken Infection

My some miracle I'm still working on this AU two years later. Reflecting on the past year, it's been rougher in terms of update frequency, mainly because I started working on a capstone project for school which stole all of my freetime (which is also partially why I've been so inactive lately), but I am still really satisfied with what I was able to put out. School stress and horrible happenings only fuel my creative drive. I am still very happy that I'm able to keep writing this fic and I am so grateful for all the support from you guys. I know I say it a lot but it's true. Writing this fic is one of the few things keeping me grounded when the world around me feels like it's devolving into chaos, and I'm glad I've been able to share the journey with y'all.

Since I celebrated last year by releasing some deleted scenes, this year I'm writing a one-shot where Dib actually gets to be happy for once. Chapter 27 is still chugging along as well. It's another emotional moment I want to make sure I'm handling properly. Not going to even try giving an estimate for when those will actually be ready because I've learned my lesson when it comes to predicting that stuff.

2 weeks until Irken Infection turns 2 years old. Can't believe I'm still writing this thing. I need to think of something for the second anniversary like all the silly stuff I did last year.
