HEY ZIM

-

More zim + dib inspired by Bamsara’s fanfics! Didn’t exactly get the vibe I wanted but! Whatever! I wanna post it anyways! It was supposed to be more like Zim being like “u r not going to go and almost die again” and dib’s like “ha ew bug u can’t do anyTHing” …. I guess? Idk

Yeah! He’s had to practice being kind in a way he’s was never taught how too.

Yes. Based on that one deleted clip of an unconscious Zim’s Pak legs dragging him to safety before he awakens, in certain situations the Pak takes control in order to preserve the Irken body. Whether or not the Irken in particular is working consciously through the Pak or subconsciously, I lean more towards subconsciously.

bonus Dib in a gas mask:

You know that headcanon that Irkens purr when they’re happy/content? Yeah, that’s the one.

if you cannot protest or donate, and you’ve been retweeting and reblogging your ass off, here’s another thing you can do from home to help out later on down the line.

we are dealing with a fascist police state. fascists love nothing more than controlling the media and taking away primary sources of their evildoing, so lets take some steps toward taking that power away from them.

the wayback machine is a tool from the internet archive, a nonprofit website that seeks to capture websites as they change over time. the wayback machine is free to use and will be able to help protect all of the first-person accounts of the crimes being committed by the state during these protests for human rights.

this is what the homescreen of the wayback machine looks like:

that blue circle is where you put a permalink to a tweet you want to add to the wayback machine

that red circle is how you find the permalink to a tweet. click “copy link to tweet” and put it in the blue circle above, and there you have it! save what you see. don’t let anyone take away all of the documentation of these crimes the state has committed and declare it fake news.

fuck the cops. fuck orange mussolini. fuck racists, and fuck fascist government regimes.

When it really looks like this

what is good doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves. it’s sad, but true. just because you haven’t - or possibly never take - off in fandom doesn’t mean your work isn’t astounding and beautiful, it doesn’t mean you should stop writing; it just means that a very select corner of the internet missed the diamond in the rough. 

fanfiction is flooded with content, there are so many of us out there producing it these days, and having a fic that takes off is almost as much about luck as it is about talent. never let a few artificial numbers on the internet dictate to you what is and isn’t worthy writing. 

additionally, you don’t have to read or enjoy fics just bcs they’re big. i cannot count the amount of times i’ve read the first paragraph of something fandom adores and immediatly exited out of it.

just… do what makes you happy. write what you wanna write, read what you wanna read. understand that while we all want recognition - and some deserve it more than others - we did not get into fanfiction for that recognition.

From the reader’s perspective, I miss the olden days of rec websites. I had a couple that I visited regularly. The creators had tastes that matched mine, and they could find these little gems that I never would have discovered.

I love AO3, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes it’s so hard to find new stories I’ll love in the really big tags and fandoms. Especially if I’m coming late to a fandom. Popularity is not the best indicator of quality. I know there are so many stories out there that I would love, but I just have no way of finding them. So Dear Author I Haven’t Found–please know that I am looking for you!
