Ah yes, but consider

Ghost hunting? Of a... um... different sort!

(AKA: Dib is gonna leave the woods either with a Phantump or AS a Phantump, rip in pieces dumbass.)

Tryharding at art: the second go-around. Lighting continues to be a nightmare.

So two things:

1) The only main series Pokémon game I’ve ever played is Let’s Go Eevee. I don’t know crap, y’all, and I’m using that as my excuse if these Pokémon choices are actually garbage. XD

2) I have listened to nothing but Trainer Red’s theme for 3 days. This picture was inevitable.

Wonder what the teams of other characters would be though? I’d give the Professor something like a Magnezone, but otherwise I got nothing. :U

Zim’s Use of His Name as a Replacement for First-Person Pronouns

I recently did a small project and went through every single Invader Zim episode script to discover just how much Zim actually replaces first-person (I/me/my/myself) pronouns with his name, and whether he ever replaces first-person pronouns with third-person pronouns (he/him/his).  The answers to these questions pretty much lined up with what I remembered about his canon use of his name as a pronoun-replacement, and I would now like to share my findings, and a list of every time Zim refers to himself in the third person, with all of you fine people here on the Tumblr dot coms.

Observations

1)  Zim uses I/me/my pronouns the vast majority of the time he refers to himself.  He uses his name in place of a pronoun to refer to himself in 18 out of 27 full episodes, or 21 out of 46 segments (but see #5 below).  He says his name in a couple more instances than that but not in place of a pronoun. Technically, ‘I am Zim!’ is not an instance where he is replacing an I/me/my pronoun with his name, any more than me saying, ‘Hi, I’m KidK’ is such an instance.  Really, when Zim says, ‘I am Zim!’ he is reinforcing the fact that he uses I/me/my pronouns regularly and the fact that he likes to say his own name, without suggesting he replaces pronouns with his name as often as, say, Elmo the Muppet.  I therefore didn’t count instances of 'I am Zim!’ as pronoun replacements, but have made a separate list of them for the sake of interest.

2) Zim replaces 'me’ with his name as the object of a sentence rather than replacing 'I’ as the subject.  The only exceptions to this in the entire run of the show are 'Zim needs no vacation!’ from “The Frycook What Came From All That Space” and ‘Zim needs no meat!’ from “Tak: the Hideous New Girl.”  A more typical usage is lines like 'There is none so worthy as Zim!’ or 'Victory for Zim!’ Also, Zim only uses the possessive 'Zim’s’ once–'No one takes Zim’s mission!’ in “Tak.”  In all other lines when Zim wants to say something is his, he says 'the [thing] of Zim’–or, much more often, uses first-person pronouns 'my’ and 'mine.’

3)  Zim really really very does not speak like Elmo.  He tends to replace one first-person pronoun in a sentence with his name and leave the rest intact, rather than substituting 'Zim’ for every first-person pronoun in the line.  For example, in “The Halloween Spectacular of Spooky Doom,” he says, 'I break free and now I have to go back to rescue that little rat that left Zim to rot?’  Even this kind of sentence reinforces the fact that Zim uses I/me/my regularly and Zim-as-a-pronoun as a more infrequent thing to add emphasis or drama. 

4) The other way in which Zim is not like Elmo is that he never, ever replaces a first-person pronoun with a third-person pronoun.  Using the same example, notice he did not say, 'Zim breaks free and now he has to go back to rescue that little rat that left him to rot?'  (Zim did use ‘he/him’ for himself when he pretended to be a future version of Dib and thus needed to speak in third person about himself to keep up the ruse; these instances are not included in my count/list because that was playacting and not pronoun-replacement.  He also uses he/him and she/her to refer to other people, including other Irkens, but that’s a subject for a different kind of post.)

5)  Several of the times Zim refers to himself by name that I’ve included on the list are edge cases and may not be true pronoun replacements.  These are noted in the list.

6)  Zim starts referring to himself in third person more about halfway through the show’s run.  He does it a few notable times in episodes 1-15 but all the episodes where he does it a lot are from “Hobo 13″ on.  In fact, there are a few episodes where Zim does it a lot, and then in the others where he does it it’s only once, maybe twice.  The episode segments where Zim refers to himself by name in third person the most are “Hobo 13,” “The Voting of the Doomed,” and “The Frycook What Came From All That Space.”

7)  The first few instances of 'I am Zim’ aren’t just random exclamations, but places where Zim telling someone his name is a natural part of a conversation. It’s not until “Hobo 13″ and beyond that Zim starts yelling 'I am Zim!’ for no apparent reason other than to assert that he is, in fact, Zim I guess.

And now without further ado, below the cut is a list of Every. Single. Time. Zim refers to himself in third person in the series, broken down by episode, with a bonus list of every 'I am Zim!’ at the end.  In every other instance besides these listed times, when Zim refers to himself, he does it with a first-person I/me/my/myself pronoun. Yep.  He sure does know what those are, and uses them very frequently.  Use this information however you like.

Oh man, it’s been awhile since I’ve had a chance to write thanks to school kicking my ass. :U Have an excerpt from something whose outline keeps bloating up a thousand words whenever I think about it too hard.

Scattered across the desk were pages and pages of scratch paper covered with indecipherable shorthand. The summation of all those calculations was displayed across the desktop monitors on loop. He had been working out an idea for manipulating an artificial gravitational field when in close proximity to another much larger one, e.g., the entire Earth’s. The simulation software, however, was interpreting the data less as ‘the-dirt-in-this-spot-should-form-a-nice-sphere’ and more like ‘fuck-this-area-in-particular.’ Massive chunks of earth tore away from the ground. Buildings broke apart and collapsed in on themselves. Little pixelated people flailed through the air hundreds of meters off the ground, simulated screams drowned out by the commotion at his bedroom door.

It was progressing well. After some modifications, the whole ‘planet-breaking-apart’ bit had been narrowed down from city-wide destruction to only most of downtown.

Still don’t know people on this site lmao, so whoever wants to add on, go for it!

Does anyone genuinely call their siblings sis, sister, little/big sis, bro, brother, little/big brother etc. as constantly as this appears to be portrayed in media? I’m extremely sceptical. Now, affectionally addressing them by something like “slug”, “toad”, “fool”, and “bitch”, or even dare I say it, their gotdamn name, is, from my experience, so much more natural. 

#sissy! #and i actually do call her just straight up 'sister' on occasion #usually horribly mispronounced and with a qualifier #like 'my dearest traitor of a sister' #'who is going to get RKOed if she doesn't start running' #one time she wrote me a lengthy note about how terrible i smell #without using a single cussword! #i have it framed somewhere #my brother goes by his first name #but sometimes i'll call him 'buba' when no one can hear me #eldest sister just gets her first name
