Mmmm some Thoughts about my Human!Zim canon divergence au

Dib’s biggest fear is being a bad father.

Mixed with being obsessed over Zim in his childhood and now being his legal guardian, he sometimes just gets overprotective, but he’s Trying

Zim doesn’t realize this and gets annoyed whenever Dib becomes overbearing.

Zim is either overly competent for his age or requires constant surveillance and there’s no in-between.

Like, he sees himself as an adult because that’s what he counted as on Irk [headcanon that Irk doesn’t see a difference between children and adults. ‘Smeet’ just means ‘recently hatched’ and not child]. But he knows NOTHING about how to take care of himself while still knowing how to fight like a soldier, build weapons of mass destruction, and so on.

Zim has an BRILLIANT PLAN to one day start his own corporation in that same innovation/science niche as Membrane labs and compete Membrane labs out of business. It shall be called... ZIMlabs!

He’s technically Professor Membrane’s grandson and could just inherit the business. But Zim is, well, ZIM, and he’s going to do things his way, dammit

I made an oc named Millie for the fic just for the sake of giving Zim a classmate but I’m getting attached to her and I’ve built somewhat of a narrative for her whoops

Millie is a trans girl who takes dance classes. Zim has seen Every Single Performance she’s been in. They’re good friends and stay friends all their lives.

Zim has kind of seen her transition experience and been Inspired. He’s working on something to help humans transition easier. It shall be his first patented invention when he opens ZIMlabs!

Kinda related to that weird gun that turned him human? This is Fictional Science so idk how it works. But in the fic it turns people into the costume they’re wearing. But dressing as your identified gender isn’t the same as wearing a costume? So it needs, like, a bunch of settings to

Millie has noticed that Zim has some kind of secret regarding his identity but her theory is that he’s also not-cis in some form or other.

Zim is def nonbinary so she’s right even though that’s not... the Big secret he has.

Uhhh Professor Membrane ‘dies’ when Zim is 16 and Dib is, like, in his early 40s.

He’s diagnosed with some illness that he can’t cure and so shoots his consciousness into space (which is something he does in that one comic where Dib and Zim travel into a future where Zim took over earth) before he could succumb to the illness.

That was a tough year for everyone involved.

Over the years Zim has picked up roughly a million hobbies, a lot of them in the creative field. He knows how to sing and play the guitar.

In his late teens Zim learns how to charm grandmas. Every old woman on the block heckin loves him. He helps them with gardening and baking and stuff. And then acts all smug about it like it’s part of his brilliant plan.

War breaks out in the Irken Empire when Zim is 18. He wouldn’t have realized... but the Tallest need to hide and crash on earth. I’m making a fic about this scenario and that’s why I needed to write out all lof these thoughts, lol.

HAHA yeah I’m just thinking a lot about his weird au I made. I’m going to start posting the sequel soon, which features the Tallest and gives Zim some closure over his origin. It’s... a very niche fic, I know. If no one reads it, that’s fine. But this is what I’ve done to cope with the last few months of twenty-twenty

Ask Thing

Tagged by @highlybread

1. Nickname: So I wasn’t sure at first if I was happy with the nickname options for Bowman but I’ve super super warmed up to Bow and it just feels really nice now. The other day though when I got myself out of bed after a migraine and I said ‘come on, bow-bow’ and it’s not often as a person who picked their own name you call yourself by your should-have-been childhood nickname. I think I hooked into an alternate universe.

2. Zodiac sign: Virgo. I used to enjoy it because my mum is also and a few years ago it was an Approval ‘Ah You’re Just Like Me’ thing but now I’m like. No! I am messy! I am an agent of chaos! I am a horrible goose!

3. Height: Five foot....something. 3? 4? I don’t know and I try not to think of it. Keats turned up like eight inches off my last new pair of trousers. My jeans turn up twice and I pretend it’s because I’m bisexual but I’m short

4. Hogwarts house: Well I spent a lot of time a few years ago trying to get Slytherin so I’m not letting go of it now.

5. Last thing I googled: god I have no bleeding idea. I feel like it might have been candles/reed diffusers? I don’t often Google Stuff now I just stay in my neighbourhood, as it were. No! Gramophones were more recent than candles. I don’t know what was after that.

6. Favourite musicians: I don’t exactly have Real Favourites although I recently realised that Wolf Parade are my perennial Reliable Band. Love that Johnny Flynn boy tho.

7. Song stuck in my head: Currently, unusually for me, I’ve not got anything up there. (“unusually”)

8. Following now: 37. I prefer to keep my follower count below fifty because I get really weird if I have too much on my dash. About nine of those aren’t much active any more.

9. Followers: 801, somehow

10. Do I get asks: very occassionally! Lately I have had Swinburne Anon so hey swinburne anon love you feel free to pop by any time

11. Amount of sleep: Keats has been making me go to sleep at a Bed Time. 12-12.30! what is this! adulthood? I’m now longer incredibly exhausted at all times and I can actually work in the mornings! I probably get seven hours or so now but I used to get like 5.5-6

12. Lucky number: 12

13. What I’m wearing: Black jeans, Bi flag hair tie, John Childermass tshirt, and no glasses because I’m a gremlin

14. Dream job: Anything where I can either work at home or from an aesthetic office and the expectations of my job are both relaxed and reliable and I can afford a nice house in a village somewhere.

15. Dream trip: Honestly at this point, anywhere. I was gonna be spending a couple nights in [redacted, about forty minutes from my house] while Keats was visiting this year and I don’t know if that’s gonna be able to happen now (it’s probably irresponsible even if they do get here). I just want to be somewhere I feel comfortable but that’s not part of my usual scene.

16. Favourite food: Pasta with a good sauce, or I had Chicken Mei Fun at Keats’ house last year and it was amazing. Especially the next day with a drizzle of extra soy sauce.

17. Instruments: I used to play guitar and then I stopped and now i Really wish I hadn’t. I just realised it might also be nice to relearn how to play piano but I haven’t done that for fifteen years. I make a heckin good trumpet noise with my mouth tho.

18. Languages: I had to stop learning Welsh because my brain just couldn’t manage any more and it got distressing

19. Favourite song: Right now I am Between Favourite Songs, I’ve just been listening to old ones and getting gradually more and more bored.

20. Random fact: We have rats in our garden and my mum wanted to be rid of them so dad set a load of traps and while there are no longer any buff rats climbing our birdfeeders, two of the traps have gone missing and cannot be found. It has been weeks. Where did they go. Are the rats experimenting.

21. Aesthetic

Soft late Victorian gentleman-poet who augments his income doing unspeakable things

Ultimately harmless but at first mildly suspicious gay man who lives in a cottage and writes on a typewriter in an Agatha Christie novel and is probably screwing the gardener from the big house

Delicate rentboy who wears far too much emerald green silk (see 1.)

tagging: @bookhobbit (have you been tagged yet?) and anyone else who wants to

Imma keep it real with you, chief, I have absolutely no idea what’s going on. I mean, obviously, I know what espionage is ; I’ve read books and articles, and I’ve seen Spy Kids and all the Charlies Angels and James Bond movies, but I genuinely think I need a minute to wrap my head around everything. Make that two weeks, because what’s this I hear about two murders ? I literally just got sent here to be safe, I — I’m sorry, I’m freaking out.

she enters gallagher in the middle of the spring semester very overwhelmed & inwardly ignoring how unhappy she is about having to be here bc she is not & does not want to be a spy. she just tryna distract herself by looking at this entire thing as a weird vacation where she can do stuff she wasn’t able to before because it’s literally detached from the world. she is mostly probably in way over her head, but let’s see !

rlly fun !!! can be a lil unpredictable bc it b lyk dat for rich girls. loves her independence which she hasn’t maximized bc of her ex fiancé & responsibilities but it’s chill so chill totally chill, no ounce of further longing exists in the crevices of this girl’s heart

she is so not good with confrontation and is so allergic to conflict ok. she will sweep discomfort under a rug and lie on it ‘til it’s flat which makes her a queen of repression & conforming

is she easily overwhelmed & stressed ? yes, but she’ll try not to show it so much. it’s all mostly an internal monologue so don’t underestimate her pls. she’s v smart and competent. can be so competitive ( albeit mostly inwardly ) and a boss ass business bitch like her business momma bc that’s what she’s been training for altho she is still generally a soft bab so ... yeah, if u would be so kind as to Estimate her, that’d be grand

she needs to always be on top of her game. maybe not the best in the class, but definitely pushes herself to be her best, so a lot of late nights studying & won’t settle for bad grades ever. gonna be rough in gallagher bc she is not spy material ok, she’s just a pretty rich geek behind a computer

Frostmas Year One: Behind the Scenes

Prologue | Year Eight

Let’s get right into it, shall we?

I chose to send Jack right to the sleigh descending point because I honestly couldn’t figure out how Jack’s “I just grabbed the coat” ride would go, nor did I want to rip off of the scenes in the first movie. So, I brought him right to the sleigh going down part and called it “magic nonsense”

In the third movie, Jack says that he started out doing the job though, so I imagine that his first night went a lot better than Scott’s bc he knew it was real, was not hallucinating, and had been dreaming of taking Santa’s place for a while

Bernard knowing something was not right was my way at hinting that he does know about the clause--he’s head heckin elf--but also keeping to my interpretation that the elves don’t remember the timeline because it technically didn’t happen and the magic of the clause is that strong

I mean, it HAS to be! You’re making everyone forget x amount of years with a certain Santa!!! Like!!!! !!!!!!!!

“What do you MEAN who’s Elle?!?!” Is one of my fave lines bc it really hits home how the magic has made everyone forget--except for Jacqueline, of course!

Why didn’t they stop Jack from becoming Santa, I wondered? The scene between Mother Nature and Jacqueline in the garden is my logic-ing it out process, a la the lunch scene between Bernard and Jacqueline in Year Eight

You can tell I began watching Steven Universe while writing this chapter because I named the forest where Mother Nature’s Garden is Quartz forest :p

Rereading this chapter to do this post has made me think Jacqueline has some amount of big dick energy, see: her appearing at the most dramatic moment possible during the Council meeting

This chapter is so SHORT compared to the rest of the fic, goodness! I hadn’t wanted to go in minute detail about Jack’s transformation for numerous reasons, though primarily it was because:

It wouldn’t be as dramatic as Scott’s seeing as how Scott was struggling with the belief whereas Jack knows it’s all real

The notes I had made led up to Jack being Santa and Jacqueline being Jack Frost now, and that was that--it’s just set up, for the most part

#shush Dani #text #frostmas #frostmas bts #frostmas bts: year 1 #it really is so incredibly short like. wild #i probably could've done a few throwaway details of jack being like awee yis beard time #here's the belly! and then being upset at the weight gain #u cant tell me that a man dressed like /that/ isn't vain as all frost ok #crystal springs #the santa clause

Rose wings velvet wine opal

Rose: What Makes You Feel Beautiful?

My hair really. I love my hair so muuuuch. I love styling it and running my fingers through it. Personally my best quality.

Wings: List Five Things You Love About Yourself

1) I bounce off of other peoples energies really easy, so if you get excited about something I, too, can get really excited about it even though I may not have that much interest in it personally.

2) People find me easy to talk to so people used to approach me for advice and stuff a lot. It made it interesting for meeting new people.

3) I have a really good wit and can come up with puns pretty fast. I get that from my mom!

4) Honestly I’m super narcissistic and love myself a whole heckin lot.

5) My brain has a habit of reminding me of the DUMBEST FUNNY THINGS and it makes me uncontrollably laugh a lot which confuses the heck of people but is so entertaining for me.

Velvet: Describe your dream home.

Okay I keep having this daydream about this actually. It’d be decent sized with big windows to let the sun in at all times. It’d have a balcony that I can use to look down upon the town with a little river somewhere nearby. I imagine it being in a more countryside kind of area, but not TOO country. Just out of the city enough that I can gaze upon the lights at night and imagine all the people having a grand time. It’s got a big yard with a garden I can tend to and lots of room for my dog(s) to run around. I also would like a big ol’ fancy dining room so I can invite people over for overly dramatic and lavish dinners filled with so much food I’m constantly packing things up to send off with my friends like a grandmother or something. It’s also got a little library/den area where I can sit by the fire and read/write/draw to my hearts content.

Wine: Talk about something you are looking forward to.

Honestly I’m so excited to go home for Christmas. It’s still a bit away but I don’t get to see my family much since I live far away and I miss them all so much. My sister is pregnant and so is another good friend and they are gonna have their babies around the same time I’M SO GOD DAMN EXCITED. I’m gonna be an uncle and I cannot wait. I’ve already warned my boss that when she goes into LABOR i’m leaving work IMMEDIATELY. Like taking a few days off and just going cause I’m not missing that.

Opal: Talk about your interests and passions

Ugh I’m never really good about this. I gotta be IN THE MOOD. But if you want something I’m currently excited about I’ve been playing this dumb “idle game” that is honestly such a gift for me. I quit it a while back cause some bullshit rng that mad me so mad. But lately it’s been good cause I don’t function well unless two things are going on at a time, so I can be “playing” that while I watch Anime or catch up on shows/movies. Seriously I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it right now.

Currently I’m interested in learning Korean but it’s hard to find free sources that work for me, so i’m kind of stuck there. Otherwise I’ve been thinking about getting back into drawing. I posted a thing a few days about how you shouldn’t worry about being good at stuff and instead should just enjoy things and honestly i’m trying to focus on that so i can better myself but also still enjoy it. Life can be really tough and I don’t want to make it any harder than it needs to be.

ANYWAY, thanks for sending this ask Sunglasses Orb much appreciated!
