I know this is late, I know it's dumb, but the second book in a 3 Saving Zim book series is finally complete and ready for sale!

Please check it out! I will also be selling a few copies of the first book on Etsy, and ebay too! (I also need to go about fixing the lighting, the contrast is way too different)

Today marks exactly two years since I joined the Invader Zim fandom and met my dear writer friend, Dib07, known here as @darkgunslinger. This year, I wanted to celebrate by drawing a little something from the latest chapter of her lovely fanfic, Saving Zim Epilogue:

This scene is from Chapter 7, in which Zim enjoys a bit of respite by going out into the garden and checking in on his two caterpillars, Big Boy and Hidey. I loved the quaintness of this scene, and how beautifully it was incorporated in. Dib07 is a truly talented writer, and her work is simply inspiring.

To Dib07, thank you for being such a wonderful friend. Whether it involved writing or my personal life, you’ve been there to see me through the rough times and celebrate the good ones alongside me. 

‘“You old bastard. You old bastard.” Dib kept saying, holding his nemesis tightly with all of his strength. Zim felt the wetness of his own tears stain the young man’s clothing. “I knew you wouldn’t give up the good fight. I knew it.” Then, as if a switch had been flicked deep inside; releasing all his rage and pain, Dib burst into tears.’ - Saving Zim, Chapter 39: My Weaker Half, by @darkgunslinger

Holy FUCK, this story was incredible! The writing was beautiful, the plot had me hooked, the tension had me at the edge of my seat! If you’re a fan of ZADF (Zim and Dib Friendship), than I HIGHLY recommend this fic! It’s very angsty though, so prepare for potential tears! Again, wonderful work!

NEW INVADER ZIM STORY FROM ME! taken from Zim'sMostLoyalServant's idea pit of Anti-Gaz prompts! huzzah! as I said in the A/N, the ideas were actually in my head since I read the prompt several months ago, but I finally regained the inspiration to write it. In turn, I've regained inspiration to continue and finish Proper Care! you can thank a new friend on Discord for that. :3 I just need to reread it. But for now, I'll focus on Gaz and keep testing the waters.

People who'd want to see this: @darkgunslinger @apocalypticwaffles

Yellow, red, purple! I actually got commissioned by DarkGunSlinger (AKA Dib07) to do 3 different Invader Zim pictures!! How cool is that?? I had a blast with all three of these, thank you so much for this opportunity!

@weevmo this is your fault for making me fall in love with that fanfic

Debacle (R)

Summary:

All his life Dib has wanted to capture Zim and gain the victory and fame he always wanted. When his wish comes true however, not everything falls so comfortably into place.

Chapter 16: Warrior

Every corridor, room and hall flashed red with alarms. Taking the elevator wasn't an option when he had disabled it, leaving the multiple stairwells as the only means to get around. But he knew all the shortcuts, many of which were now open, and he doubted even the scientists knew every shortcut when so many areas were strictly prohibited.

He paused just long enough to check his watch. Seven minutes and twenty seconds...

He hurried down the next two levels, head pounding, ears ringing with real and phantom sounds. When he heard a team of men clatter towards him in the dark he threw another smoke grenade in their general direction before blindly flying down a corridor, through a door and into the next atrium while the shouting, bickering men were still trying to orientate themselves in the smoke and dark. He was almost unsure as to where he had ended up, his mind desperately recalling the blueprints he had seen on his laptop.

The fire alarm bells were ringing like the old brass bells in school. He double backed on himself, his memory a ghost he couldn't pin down.

Right! Straight down! Left, I'm pretty sure it's left from here...

The alarms and general disorientation made him second guess his memory, a dangerous thing to do when he was on a countdown. Carlson and his men would be torn between trying to stop the animals trying to get in from below, the hazard of the boiler, and the chaos in-between, but if he spread his men out, cut down the animals, restored power...

Just wanted to give this story/update a shout out for anyone who remembers/wants to know what it’s all about! I will continue to update, if you’ll please give this story a look! Thanks for all your support and feedback! If you are new, don’t forget to check it out!

Summary:

All his life Dib has wanted to capture Zim and gain the victory and fame he has always wanted. When his wish comes true, his dream doesn't quite play out as he imagined.

CHAPTER 14: THE COST

As the connectors began to tear from the ports, Zim helplessly fell to shrieking. Then there was a sharp crack and the PAK snapped free. Antennae dangling down, he numbly watched as sweat speckled the floor below him.

He tried to escape to someplace else as the disconnection shivered through his system, and focused on the monstrous shadow of the cradle, with the tall silhouettes of the scientists mulling around him. But they barely gave the sobbing, shivering creature much attention as they focused on what Carlson was holding as if it was the Holy Grail.

Williams hit the stopwatch to begin the ten minute countdown.
