GIZMO/ZIM

This is a recreation of a way smaller watercolor painting I did back in March. I liked it so much that I wanted to make a BIG ONE too!

I think Gir needs a better way to understand situations than a stern talking to, because he never retains anything simply spoken to him. He obviously knows how to use his own functions, it just needs to be fully transparent and understandable in a way he can digest. Gir needs a LOT of help in truly understanding things, the kind of help that Zim is incapable of delivering- mainly because he isn't sensitive enough, nor does he think that far ahead.

bring it in everypony!

Let me have the Tallest longing for the old times, let me have them regret the passage of time, show me the struggle between being themselves and being leaders- knowing that there's at least one other Irken out there who really knew them, give me the dumbass moments of them goofing off and then Zim catching on and finishing the joke, give me fluff and angst and smut and all the shit in between.

Let them run away together, let there be AUs where they're all the same height- short AND tall, let Zim be their beloved pet who still has Zimness in him and isn't just an object, let them adore him and never want to admit it, let Zim realize that his drive to please them is focused on the past and everyone suffers from being unable to express themselves. Let the fixing of the Empire's evils start with three fucking jocks who learn how to finally talk to each other and admit they're equals.

Like, Keef is totally obsessed with Zim and thinks he’s Zim’s BFF, but he actually can’t stand him. Just like how Zim deludes himself into thinking he’s the Tallests’ favorite invader. But it’s not for no reason, because Zim manipulated Keef into thinking they were friends in the first place, just like the Tallest pretended to award him their most prestigious mission. Not to mention Zim subjected Keef to a bunch of tests to prove his worth, like Zim had to go through military training and exams to rise to the rank of Invader. Also, in a deleted scene from TNB, Zim would’ve had to fight a monster to “earn” his mission.

Zim also fears Keef will compromise his mission, but he won’t take “no” for an answer when Zim tells him to scram. So he has to come up with a way to redirect Keef away from him by using his belief in their friendship against him. Just like how the Tallest fear he’ll screw up OIDII, so they banish him to earth without actually telling him it’s a banishment.

in the distant future there will be a book all about how taller Irkens can curb their super primitive attraction to their short coworkers.

...

However. I should clarify that neither Red nor Purple will ever read that book. they will suffer for the rest of their life as long as zim is around.
