Dickie Goodman: King of Novelty
I don’t know that Dickie Goodman (1934-89) WAS the “King of Novelty” precisely (it’s a crowded field), but that is the title of his son Jon’s 2000 biography about his dad. The book has a foreword by Dr. Demento and an epigraph by Weird Al Yankovich so, you see what I mean? Both of THOSE guys could easily lay claim to being the King of Novelty. But show business has been littered with…

you ever have an AU idea in the shower and come up with a fic summary in your head for a fic you’ll probably never write?
anyway, fic working title “go fish”: in one universe, xornoth sees a very corruptible king with a dysfunctional support network, and chooses his side as the one where he possesses sausage. in this universe, however, he sticks around a little longer before deciding on his pawns, and sees the equally corruptible other side of the conflict, sees his brother apparently has a Thing for said very corruptible other side, and goes. yeah, sure. the codlands seem like equally decent a place to launch an invasion from. what could possibly go wrong?
in hindsight, this was a bad move, but by the time xornoth realizes this, everything has gotten far, far stupider than anyone is prepared to deal with. oh dear. oh deer. oh cod.
that’s right, it would be a corrupted jimmy comedy. presuming I still know how to write long form comedy. featuring an unwilling and unsuspecting xornoth redemption via him accidentally getting attached to the codvengers. do I have time to write this? probably not. do I remember how to write the empires cast well enough for this? hell if I know. is it another idea for my back burner pile of ideas? hell yeah, plus anyone who wants can take this idea (hell I know jimnoth was a thing people wrote sometimes, something similar probably already exists). do I keep conceiving of aus where jimmy is imminently possessable? yes, I don’t know why,

Short Moderate Length List of Small(ish) Things I Appreciate About The Wettening
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dib being conspicuously absent from the opening pan of the classroom, only to cartoon-teleport into existence at Zim’s desk the second Zim starts expressing mild apprehension at the sight of unfamiliar weather. This kid spends his time just hanging around staring at Zim, waiting for him to show the slightest sign of discomfort, confusion, or unease in order to immediately taunt him about it—and the surrounding chaos, if anything, is just an opportunity to come watch even more closely. We all already knew this, but it still kills me to see it in action.
Also, he’s animated popping up from below, and like… were we meant to interpret this as him just chilling underneath Zim’s desk? No, absolutely not—but is it funny (and, to add to the hilarity, miraculously somehow not completely unbelievable within the context of the show) to imagine that he was? Yes. Yes it is.
Tumblr media
Zim confidently walking out into a downpour he has already confirmed to be acidic just because Dib implicitly dared him to—no one’s looking, Dib hasn’t even said anything or made a claim against his humanity, Zim just can’t stand to give Dib the satisfaction of seeing him vulnerable or afraid of something (which backfires pretty spectacularly, since I’m pretty sure ‘writhing on the ground shrieking in indescribable agony’ is a significantly worse look in terms of appearing vulnerable, but all’s well that ends in Victory For Zim, I guess).
Also Zim's little baffled gesture right beforehand like he's silently asking Dib to confirm he's not hallucinating the rain dance (he does not receive an answer)
Tumblr media
Gaz presumably seeing Zim sneaking up behind her brother, saying nothing and making no reaction that’ll tip Dib off… only to immediately be made to regret her choices when she gets caught in another splash. Shows her for trusting Zim to be at least a little bit cool about tormenting Dib (honestly, we see her exact fitting justice on Dib at the end of the episode, but I cannot imagine she wasn't still planning to do something equally petty to Zim).
The faucet drip scene and the underlying awareness that this is just what Zim and Dib do to each other during class. Every day. It is, in fact, probably one of the least disruptive forms their constant warfare takes on a routine basis. Suddenly I understand a little bit of why their entire class hates them.
Also Dib’s happy face while he's terrorizing Zim into a shell-shocked stupor is absurdly cute and heartwarming. If I cropped that picture no one would ever guess what he's smiling about. This kid? A sadist? Impossible.
Tumblr media
“I don’t even feel good about winning this one,” and it's said with his hands clasped together, practically vibrating with glee, his expression vaguely reminiscent of a teenager in the throes of hormonal infatuation (the hypothetical object in this case not so much being Zim himself as a personified abstraction of Zim’s suffering). If someone hit him with the Return of Keef happy goo in this exact moment, I am completely certain it would kill him. His statement is only true insofar that a more accurate term for his current state of being would probably be euphoric.  I take back everything I’ve ever said about Zim being unreasonable in this episode—he was merciful.
Also this face the moment Zim gets up and starts threatening him. Zim still isn't even all that intimidating at the moment, but Dib knows he just fucked up. Maybe he's getting flashbacks to Dark Harvest.
Tumblr media
Dib’s ridiculous water balloon device. Seriously. I feel like it gets (reasonably) overshadowed by the sheer absurdity of Zim’s entire operation, but it really is so amazingly stupid and pointless in a way that is… not dissimilar to the ultimate Irken water balloon. Not only is it really not necessary for the task it's meant to accomplish, it's actively detrimental in that it slows Dib down, blatantly telegraphs his attacks, and reduces accuracy by a significant degree. The only actual benefits I can think of would be the exponential increase in force and range and the instant accessibility of a water supply—the former of which is totally unnecessary in this scenario and the latter being possible to accomplish with a much simpler device (or even just… a water tank). To summarize, it is an incredibly impressive feat of both skill and creativity in design that is also completely and utterly useless! Which is just the perfect demonstration of what I mean when I say Dib really does share nearly all of Zim’s flaws, just to a less obviously ridiculous degree—he comes off just calm and clever enough to pass as moderately reasonable  at a glance, and in some ways, that makes him more of a potential flight risk than Zim. At least that's a lunatic you see coming. 
Irkens are collapsible, apparently

the LHL experience is just "this is wonderfully silly and very cute and this case to solve is very fun and clever" to "this is emotionally devastating me. im having my heart destroyed. im eating this deftly sewn story-telling for breakfast" and it just switches back and forth between those moods until you get very unwell about it and have to write 5000 words meta

funniest thing about hakuba meeting shinichi is that he thinks, "a decent detective who also has appreciation for sherlock holmes? FINALLY someone who understands."
but then he quickly realizes that he's best friends with hattori hot-head heiji and for some reason he's dating kuroba the fucking menace kaito. of all the people to surround himself with, shinichi chose the two people on earth who gives hakuba the biggest headaches and i think that's fucking hilarious.
also hakuba going from "oh well at least kudou will keep kuroba in check" to "oh shit oh FUCK i was wrong, there's two of them now FUC K"

i feel like this is controversial, but i did actually enjoy teen titans go- if only for the reason it so clearly was not meant to be a canonical representation of their characters and was just done for shits and giggles
