What’s the height difference between Anno and the almighty tallest? Like just from looking at Anno he is tall as hell when compared to Aka but what about Red and Purple?

His only weakness

Lack of authority

How to speak Irken? I've tried writing it and even looking up ASL (American Sign Language) for Irken, but I forgot it all! <=(

Last night I had a dream about an unknown irken medical student. I don't know what her name was but she looked like this (on the right is a hypothetical uniform she could wear, but she only appeared in her regular irken outfit)

She was observing an autopsy (?) and the main teacher guy went into the idea of irken death. Apparently, after death, the mind keeps going inside the body, even though the body has died. Idk it wasn't exactly elaborated on. And ALSO, Zim was mentioned briefly. There is this procedure that can be done post death that can let the body continue to live, and Zim had refused it or something. He didn't die, just didn't like the idea of it (oddly out of character? you'd think this guy would want to live forever).

If I come up with a name or have another dream that elaborates on any of this I'll update this post but for now that's pretty much it. I was not expecting to have a fucked up invader zim dream like a week after I get hyperfixated but here we are lol

How long will it take for the little smeets to talk? And which language would be their first? Irken or earthling?

Oh, I think I got a spacebug science ask . . . if Irkens make various bug noises (chirps, clicks, hissing, whathaveyou), how do they do it?

Thank you for throwing me a real curve ball on this one. I’ve actually been pretty stumped. At first, I wanted to hand wave this off with the simple ‘oh pretty much like any Earth vertebrate’ considering that they do in fact breathe air, can choke, visibly speak from the mouth, etc. but then I started running back into the rabbit hole question of how Irken breathing/airflow even works, since no one knows if they have lungs or an insectoid setup or something of the like to begin with. I have always theorized that the PAK is heavily integrated with their body’s circulation and gas exchange but there’s not much I have to go on with to guess at the exact machinations. It’s not that I have NO ideas, it’s that when you start taking inspiration from nature absent of canon pointers, you kind of literally can’t run out of equally plausible ideas.

Original point being that laughing, clicking, hissing... I mean, this is all stuff we can do just fine with tongues, teeth, and a larynx. Occam’s razor says ditto for them.

Except for this one thing that screams so distinctly arthropod to me.

See there was this one little moment in Dark Harvest that I’ve been majorly obsessed with. There’s this… sound that is part of the ost right before the big chase. When the lights are flipped off. It could be a strange choice of ambience but I swear it feels like the implication was that it was actually coming from Zim. And the reason I can’t stop thinking about it is because it sounds damn near identical to, of all things, hermit crab chirping. Take a listen to what I mean

Congrats btw if this is how you learn hermit crabs can even do such a thing. In the wild this is actually a way they communicate stress and aggression to other crabs, as in during fights over shells or when trying to warn an attacker to back off.

Their method for it is something called stridulation, which is essentially big word talk for rubbing together certain body parts like an acoustic instrument. Lots of other invertebrates produce sounds in the same manner. In the crab case, it’s a leg on leg or legs on shell kind of action. In crickets, think leg to wing or wing to wing. By no means universal either, though. Cicadas are a surprising example of insect that sounds off primarily through other means. Their mating calls are produced with tymbal structures located on either side of their abdomen.

As nutshell fashion as I can describe the tymbals, they’re a combo of complex membrane and stiff ribs that produce sound by flexing and clicking together really, really fast. I focus in on these at all because they are personally my favorite pet theory behind a secondary, possibly vestigial way for mature Irkens to produce sound :) and I needed some alternate idea because the one other moment in the show that got me on this thought spiral- if you remember that screaming back and forth Zim got into with Dib in Backseat Drivers. You know, the “ISN’T IT” bit? I’ve pointed out before, but if you listen closely enough Zim is so angry in that exchange that the way he vibrates angrily is actually audible. Like there’s this odd noise accompanying the rage shakes I can only describe as “skittery”

if you were taking OC doodle requests.... im offering you my new boy, Blip 👽

...I didn't realize until I was done cranking up the colors on him, but the lack of shading in his midsection makes it look like he's straight-up wearing a crop top.... I swear the intent of a shirt was there. (⁠;⁠;⁠;⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠)

For the ask thing- @Siv, what does working in Irken night life look like? Is it all fabulous, or is there more to it

#POV chewy putting too much effort into the first of an ask trend and immediately regretting it #it came out pretty nice though so??? worth #i forced myself to be done with it so if you see any mistakes #no you didnt #KEEP EM COMING! <333 #invader zim #invader zim oc #irken oc #iz irken

Can you do Tak(IZ)

i think her and octavia would either be friends or hate each other.

#ask zeno #zeno's art #invader zim #tak #tak iz #always loved her disguise #also i dont draw iz often but i do like to add little indicators on irken human disguises to show theyre fake #like darkened eye whites and a slight shine to the hair instead of usual highlights #its fun! maybe i'll draw iz more often

Do you have any invader zim ocs? If so, can I see???

You’re art and humor is so adorable and cute and well animated and colorful and I’ve ran out of words to compliment your art BECAUSE ITS SO GOOD YOUR ONE OF MY ART INSPIRATIONS thank you for uploading your art so motivating

I do, 3 actually!!

There's 2 Irkens which are Veen and Tisk (who have never posted) and Marzi Pan, a Vortian.

Veen's pretty sorted out and I made a reference for her that can be found here. A transcript of her updated lore goes as follows:

"Due to an error made by the control brain, Veen was given the role of surgeon instead of service drone. Had it not been for Tallest Miyuki's piqued interest in the defective Irken, she would have been cast out and erased. Due to her high confidence and determination during training, she ended up being very skilled and gained the respect of her Tallest. Years later, when both Tallest Miyuki and the short lived Spork were suddenly killed and Tallest Red and Purple took their place, a certain destructive Irken would find himself under Veen's knife. Zim, after getting caught in an explosion, would have life-saving surgery performed on him by the reluctant surgeon. Red and Purple soon catch wind of this and are not happy. She is put on trial later for her actions, but before the trial happens, Tisk, her engineer work buddy, modifies her PAK to freeze the Control Brain when it tries to erase her. This gives her and Tisk enough time to escape, so they steal a spittle runner and flee Irk. While looking for a place to stay temporarily, they cross paths with Marzi Pan, an escaped Vortian, and quickly befriend them. The three then planet hop for a while to hopefully find a place that is safe to call home."

As mentioned, Tisk and Marzi play a part in the lil "story" I have going on but are huge WIPs. I haven't fully sorted out their designs or personalities to a T so I'm working on them. Here's the few pieces of art of them I have currently:

For Tisk I'm trying to brainstorm a unique uniform. I'm sure there's Irken engineers in the official series I could reference (I think I saw one recently??)

But yeah that's pretty much all. I wanna try and do more stuff with them they're funky
