Invader Zim - Blog Posts
REDRAW!!
I did something a little simple just to see how I have improved in some things. OLD ONE ↴

My two comfort characters who have never felt a hint of comfort
ZADR!!!
Im not a fan and a lot of people dislike it because of the age difference.
In my case, if you ask me, I don’t really believe that Jhonen created Zim as an adult (or maybe he did, and in that case, eeew). Mainly because of all the merch out there where they refer to him as a child. I fervently believe he only did it because he hates shipping with all his soul, and because he’s a troll (respect).
I see Zim as a very hyperactive child, terrifyingly intelligent, with emotional regulation issues, pretending to be an adult without truly understanding what it means, simply because he was forced into it.
Then what is it?? Why I don't like It?
The main reason is!!!… I don’t see it.
And don’t get me wrong, I perfectly understand where the appeal comes from. They’re so different, yet so alike at the same time. Add the “enemies” factor and you have a recipe for shipping: “The person I hate the most is the one who understands me the most.”
Still, I can’t help but see them as platonic soulmates, with such a deep friendship that only the two of them truly understand each other. I’m a big fan of putting Zim in dresses and acting "cute" just because I like cute things, but that’s not the character. Nor do I think he’s particularly tough. He’s more of a mass of desperate need for approval that manifests in chaos because of that desperation… and in being a total jerk. He’s defective, so he feels—unlike the other Irkens—and I LOVE THAT. But I can’t imagine him feeling romantic love, and it’s not just because of an aroace headcanon. I just don’t see him loving Dib that way, and vice versa. A paranoid and very creepy kid who just wants people—or rather, his terrible dad—to look at him and say, “Well done.”
Sound familiar?
They both have this tendency toward drama and doing the impossible to prove they’re better than everyone else (and specifically with each other, because the existence and mission of the other validates their own) that almost always ending in chaos, all because of this deep-seated insecurity of never fitting in. I like the idea of them being inseparable, but as friends or a kind of found family without levels (Gaz included).
Dib is so weird that only an alien understands him, and Zim is so emotional that only a human understands him.
No problem if you like it too, really—I couldn’t care less. As I said before, I don’t see Zim as being written as an adult in the original material.
I could be wrong, of course! If someone gives me really good evidence to the contrary, then yes, all ZADR fans are freaks. But until that day, I stand by my opinion.
I could go on talking about these two for hours because they are my all-time favorite characters. Many of my other favorite characters are basically them, just with different faces and names.
(specifically Zim, because, oh boy, those are industial amounts of angst my friend).
Some doodles I made because I'm losing my mind.
Btw I have no idea how to write in cursive, sorry for my hieroglyphics, it says, "you are wonderful"
A little lady☺️
A sketch of gaz i did when i was listening to culture vulture
Gaz my beloved⋆｡°✩
I was trying to draw with markers (something that never turns out well for me) and I ended up drawing a slightly older Gaz.
Yes, I know her eyes are brown.
Do I care if they are brown? No
Gir is the golden child <3
I don't like it that much, but I don't care, I'm happy.

Let's just say that the first time they went out into space it didn't go very well.
I should draw other things and not shitpost,,, anyway there are more of this but I can only put 10 images in each post.

How everything started...
Context: After Zim discovers the truth of his mission and that he is defective he gets depressed. Dib (15 years old) notices Zim's changes in behavior, so he gives him some gifts to gain his trust and "investigate" (He just was worried) then they slowly start to get closer.

One thing I did about @l-ii-zzzz au (plz go to check it is really good), that last post destroyed me and I just started listening to zoé… one thing led to another and now I'm drawing at 5am.
