#Iggins
Text
Tumblr media
When I rewatched all the episodes last year, I deciced that frycook was my favorite episode... but I'm starting to think that game slave 2 is. I think about it ALL the time. I'd say not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about gaz stalking and terrorizing iggins - that may be exaggerating - but only a little.
Also Iggins is so fucking terrible and I love him so much. There is no iggins content and I have to make it myself :'D I kind of wanted this drawing to be prettier but I ran out of gas tonight and got impatient. I hope you like it anyway :)

Top 10 Invader Zim Characters Besides Tak, Skoodge, and Zib Who Should've Made a Comeback in No Particular Order:
#1 Ultra Peepi
There's like a million Godzilla movies + giant robot anime to draw inspiration from for a sequel. We saw at the end of Hamstergeddon that Peepi crash landed back on earth somewhere. So he could be in hiding, burrowed underground, or he could've mutated further and grown gills to hide deep in the ocean. Just invent another monster so there's an excuse to go and awaken Peepi to fight it and make the concept as stupid as you want. The show even already established that a giant Santa monster revisits the planet annually, so the return of Ultra Peepi could double as a sequel to the Most Horrible Xmas Ever. Give me Ultra Peepi King of the Monsters.
#2 Iggins
A big issue with Gaz is that being apathetic and wanting nothing to do with Zim or the paranormal as core facets of her character makes it difficult to create interesting storylines for her. So she mostly ends up just existing to be someone Dib delivers exposition to and to make snide remarks at his expense. GameSlave 2 worked really well for her because there was actually something for her to care about and you got to see how Not So Above It All she is compared to Zim and Dib when it comes to the few things she's passionate about. So it seems like if you want to do more episodes centered around Gaz it'd be a good idea to bring Iggins back as a recurring thorn in her side. Maybe it starts off with her not taking him seriously and beating him without much effort, so she can still see herself as not being like her brother. But then Iggins starts to really get under her skin and she feels like she has to teach him a lesson, but he just never learns. Like Zim, Iggins is too egotistical and overconfident to admit defeat, and it starts to drive Gaz crazy after awhile and eventually she becomes just as obsessed as her brother with trying to beat him and prove once and for all that he sucks.
#3 Service Drone Bob
I would love an episode about him fleeing the empire after they attempted to kill him and joining the Resisty. Actually, what would really be funny is if they did the concept I came up with where they do a Resisty story, but troll the audience by only showing them little slivers of what sounds like a really exciting story as cutaways from a silly, inconsequential no-stakes story completely disconnected from it. But like, in those brief glimpses, you'd get just enough references to what's happened off-screen to form an impression of this whole Zuko-esque character arc that Bob's been through of having his eyes opened and unlearning Irken propaganda and being at war with himself before finally deciding to join the Resisty and then having to win their trust and establishing deep bonds with the rest of the group. And then it all ends with one cutaway indicating that they're about to go into the final all-or-nothing battle and then the last cutaway reveals that everyone died and their actions made no impact on the status quo and will never connect back to Zim in any way.
#4 Chammy Wamboo
I think there was a lot of missed potential with Chammy's first appearance. It's hinted that she has actual supernatural abilities, which makes her vaguely unsettling, but the story didn't really go anywhere with it. I think a good way to bring her back would be if she just appeared with no explanation and started harassing Zim and Dib again but this time it seems like it's actually working and it's freaking them out. Eventually, they figure out that Chammy got back to earth by using her powers to brainwash everyone in her path into being her friends and cooperating to help her get home. Now that she's back she's not going to try to reason with Zim and Dib anymore, she's going to make them be friends whether they like it or not. So it's no longer even a question of whether Chammy's just wrong about their relationship or if Zim and Dib are just being stupid, stubborn idiots who can't see that their lives actually would be better if they became friends. The issue now is that their free will is being violated and she's treating real people like dolls she can mash together and make kissy-noises with.
#5 Invader Tenn
I think a lot of Tenn's popularity is owed to her being one of very few female Irken characters and one whose brief appearance in Megadoomer gave rise to a lot of speculation about what might've happened to her next. The earliest versions of the fake fanon Invader Dib storyline involved an attempt to rescue Tenn from the Meekrob, but I kinda like the idea of her ending up in Moo-Ping 10 and teaming up with Tak to escape. Really though, there's an infinite number of possibilities for whatever happened to Tenn after Megadoomer. Was she left for dead? Did the Tallest blame her for failing her mission even though it wasn't her fault and banish her to a place like Dirt or Foodcourtia as punishment? Did she ever find out Zim blew up her Megadoomer?
#6 Zorphic aka "Madness"
The dog that terrifies Zim turning out to be an alien was such a good twist and I wish we could've seen him make good on his promise to get revenge on Zim for his betrayal. I think he has an interesting personality that sets him apart from a lot of the Zim cast but we never got to see what he's like in retribution mode.
#7 Bill
Outside of Career Day I think we only see Bill once more briefly in Chickenfoot and then again in the Lil Meat Man story, where I don't remember him really doing any of his usual schtick of wasting Dib's time and making his field of expertise look bad, they just kinda drive around together trying to catch Zim but always getting to where he's been after he's already left. I think there could've been some more funny episodes with Bill stepping on Dib's toes. Like Dib needs to follow Zim into a location but Bill is blocking him because he thinks there's a real monster in there and Dib's trying to convince him that it's just a cereal mascot and the real threat is Zim. Or Dib and Bill are investigating the same phenomenon but they disagree about what's causing it. What it actually is is plainly obvious to Dib, but people either believe Bill instead because some poorly timed coincidences make Bill's theory look right, or they just buy into his absurd leaps of logic because they think the complexity of the theory makes it more well thought-out than Dib's simpler, more straightforward explanation. Basically Bill is like a YouTube pop culture theorist making garbage arguments and Dib is the person making debunking videos that unpack all the logical fallacies, glaring omissions, and outright lies used to support his flimsy thesis that ignores what's overtly communicated by the text.
#8 Dwicky
I feel like there's a bit more mileage that could've been gotten out of getting Dib's hopes up and teaching him a harsh lesson by having Dwicky repeatedly promise to help him, only to flake out, until Dib finally realizes that just because he's an adult and he believes him doesn't make him reliable or a worthwhile ally.
#9 Membrane's parents
We only see them briefly in the comics but I really want to know more about Dib and Gaz's grandparents and what relationship they have with them. Are they even still alive? Do they visit ever? Membrane apparently chooses to believe in Santa because he can't bear to think his parents would give him socks for Xmas, so he must otherwise have positive feelings toward them which makes the disappointment of getting socks feel too contradictory to his perception of them to reconcile with. But then again, Dib and Gaz seem to be pretty fond of Membrane, but as outsiders the audience can see that he's a terrible parent and hope that when they get to be teenagers they'll start to realize it. I just feel like if we got to know more about their grandparents we could understand better why Membrane is such a bad father. And who doesn't love a good story about unpacking generational trauma?
#10 Snarl Beast
It's a fucking crime this space cat didn't become a regular cast member. Like I've said before, Snarl could've been like Dib's GIR. An adorable-on-the-outside-but-actually-horrifying little creature who fucks things up for Dib more than he helps, but Dib would never dream of parting with it, and Hot Topic could print money off of it.

Invader Zim Deathmatch:
ROUND 2, FIGHT 13:
IGGINS VS ULTRA PEEPI!
Tumblr media
The rules are as follows:
1. We’re assuming that both participants actively want and are willing to kill each other unless actively specified otherwise (for example: Chammy Wamboo).
2. The fight must be one on one so no outside help is allowed, but prep time is allowed.
3. The rule for prep time is that if one contestant gets prep time, the other contestant gets an equal amount of prep time as well.
[Masterpost]
Information about both contestants (who they are, powers and abilities, etc) can be found under the cut.
Contestant Stats:
Iggins:
“Gamer”
Appearances:
Iggins makes one appearance in the episode “Game Slave 2”
Powers and abilities:
Gaming
Having a really punchable face
Fun Fact:
You know how some gladiator fights will throw an unarmed criminal into a cage with five hungry lions to keep the spectators entertained while the actual contestants are still preparing? That’s why Iggins is here. He’s the unarmed criminal.
Ultra-Peepi:
“Oh yeah Ultra-Peepi”
Appearances:
Ultra-Peepi appears in the episode “Hamstergeddon”
Powers and abilities:
Gargantuan size (Ultra-Peepi is larger than most buildings. Most of their strength comes from this extreme size and weight)
Extreme durability (due to their size and several cybernetic implants, Ultra-Peepi is extremely durable, being able to withstand the weaponry of an Irken ship. However, they’re not invincible, and were successfully killed by Zim using an extremely large explosion)
Energy breath (Ultra-Peepi can fire massive blasts of energy from their mouth)
[Weakness] Animal intelligence (Ultra-Peepi is an animal and as such, has the intelligence of an animal. They’re easily distracted by anything that resembles food and generally aren’t very smart, making it very easy to trick and outsmart them)
Fun Fact:
Peepi was originally named “Mr Boodles” in episode concepts before it was changed to Peepi.

Is MHNY coming back soonish? I'm all caught up on everything else and I'm just curious.
No rush or anything. I mean it =_=.
Don't even think about panicking, sticky.
“Hey siri, if I induce a panic attack out of spite, do they make you go see a doctor?”
Nah no worries OP, all asks about my fics are welcome.
So Re:MHNY2 is definitely still in the works. The unfortunate delay of significant progress is caused by the fact my brain’s creative process is decided by monkeys throwing darts, and whatever it lands on is what I feel like working on for the duration of that burst of productivity. Mostly that dart has landed on Paradorx as of late. Lil bit of Dead Weight, but mostly Paradorx.
The plot is completely outlined, it’s basically just actually sitting and writing it down. But! I do have some scenes written!
For your viewing pleasure (obviously spoiler warnings)

The more clips I see from Prime, the more I'm baffled by the criticisms of it when it comes to the animation.
This is some of the best official animation for Sonic I've seen ever. He's so lively and energetic, and they got his gestures and little quirks down perfectly.

Okay, here’s a Thought I had just recently…
Tumblr media
So, Iggins. Everyone hates Iggins. He’s designed to be one of the most instantly hateable characters ever featured on a show that’s already famously misanthropic. And this is done by just… making him just an intensely concentrated version of every Obnoxious Gamer Stereotype (and way before they were widespread in mainstream media. ‘Invader Zim’ truly WAS ahead of its time). Simple enough, right?
But there’s actually another dimension to the whole thing.
Because what is it exactly about Iggins that Gaz finds so annoying and loathsome?
Well, it is the fact that he starts long rambling ‘conversations’ despite her obvious lack of interest which are just him talking at her
Tumblr media
Is incredibly self-aggrandizing and self-centered
Tumblr media
He LITERALLY went 'and then everyone clapped!', this show was a head of it's time, I tell you!
And his delusion of grandeur is his justification for overriding Gaz's desires and taking what is rightfully hers.
Tumblr media
And, like.... leaving outside the literal taking of the physical Game Slave.... these are also the primary reasons why she gets angry at Dib.
Iggins is just a more annoying Gamer Dib. He has all of Dib’s negative traits and especially the ones that tend to affect Gaz; the inattentiveness, the self-centeredness, the self-aggrandizing, the assumption that his needs' triumph everybody else. But with Iggins they farther exaggerated, and instead of the Paranormal, Iggins is obsessed with Gaz’s Special Interest.
That kinda makes him the perfect antagonist for Gaz. And also maybe demonstrate that Gaz’s problems with her brother, unlike the Rest of the World, don’t always stem from just him having Weird Interests. If Dib had more normative interests (or at least as normative as Gaz's) but he was still just as much of a self-centered blowhard at her as he usually is - she would still be just as pissed-off at him as usual.

Invader Zim episode concepts
Gir needs to take a bath, but he's terrified. This results in him being chased around town by Zim wielding one of those carwash soap sprayer things. Hijinks ensue, Dib gets involved, does Gir get unstinked at the end? who knows.
Gaz encounters Iggins again at a local gaming tournament.
A weird almost zombie-like plague is spreading across the area. Zim disguises himself as a doctor, giving "vaccines" to cure it. Dib gets accused of being an anti-vaxxer.

I feel like it was a bit of a missed opportunity to not have Zim and Gaz interact more in the show or comics.
Like, I guess it's kind of a consequence of Gaz being characterized as apathetic and actively not wanting to get involved in anything having to do with Zim because she sees him as an idiot not worth her time. But the result is that she ends up on the sidelines a lot. Even when she gets a story centered around her like GameSlave 2, it's completely divorced from the main premise of the show.
You can count the number of times Zim and Gaz talked or interacted with each other in the show on one hand, and excluding that one extremely OoC non-canon bodyswap issue they had maybe five more interactions throughout all the comics.
Consequently, Zim and Gaz have basically no rapport with each other. There's even a joke in one comic that Zim can't even remember Gaz's name.
But like, what if they actually did do a story about Zim and Gaz that kinda deconstructs why she and Zim don't go together. Like, Dib works perfectly as a rival to Zim because he was created for that purpose but when you try to put Gaz in that role it just doesn't work.
We got a little bit of this in Bloaty's Pizza Hog, where Zim talks to Gaz the same way he'd talk to Dib, making grandiose speeches about how her pitiful rescue attempt is a pitiful failure, but her responses are all no-nonsense because she didn't come to fuck around, she just wants to get Dib back home in time for dinner.
So imagine an episode where Zim and Gaz happen to bump into each other. She's just trying to live her life while he's got an evil scheme cooking. Dib's not around, so Zim starts treating Gaz like his substitute, but she won't play along. This cheeses Zim off so he tries to bait her by insinuating that her apathy is really just cowardice; she doesn't bother to try stopping him like her foolish brother because she's already accepted that she can't win. But then she defeats him effortlessly with the most banal, mundane solution. Zim keeps coming back from every failure trying to get Gaz to take him seriously and every time she shuts him down easily and doesn't even have the decency to gloat about it like it was a real accomplishment. Then Dib finally enters the picture and Zim switches his focus to him, because he's giving him the attention and validation he wants and missing all the easy, boring, practical solutions Gaz would use because he's trying to show-off.
Alternatively, Zim makes the cardinal mistake of messing with Gaz's food/video games and she makes him regret it just like Iggins.
It'd be nice if whichever way the story went it had a lasting effect on their relationship moving forward. Like, if we went with scenario 1, every time they saw each other afterward Zim would make some snide remark because he's still bitter about Gaz acting like she's too good for him, and maybe they'd get into the habit of trading barbs like Niles and C.C. on The Nanny. If scenario 2 happens, Zim is terrified of Gaz forever after and will instantly drop whatever he's doing if he thinks it'll incur her wrath, go out of his way to avoid her, run screaming if she comes his way, and if she wants something he'll do whatever she asks if she promises not to hurt him.
