Jhonen opened a drawpile during his stream and he had the misfortune of me drawing in it.
Rikki: Dib's in there.
Jhonen: Yeah.
From what I can tell when rewatching the stream, I made Jhonen mad because I drew Dib. lol Finally, a dream of mine has come true: I have angered the man himself. Also drew my IZ fan character, Duncan, and a dragon parasite I made called the Fink.

I just finished reading Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez. To be honest, I didn't really know what to expect going in- all I've ever heard about it was from people going "Can you believe Nickelodeon asked a guy who makes stuff like that to make a children's show!?" After reading it, I can say that it's definitely interesting in a way I don't think any basic plot description could've fully prepared me for, and I kind of want to dump my thoughts about it as I just come away from it.
As the title would suggest, its most noticeable surface-level feature is that there is a lot of gore. It gets about as brutal and graphic as it can with its cartoony art style- I was actually a little bothered by it a couple of times. There are a lot of things reminiscent of Invader ZIM beyond its art style- it shares a lot of the same humor, its randomness (often to the point of stupidity), and the chaotic nature of the story progression. (There are also two aliens that show up in a few pages that I'm pretty sure are the same aliens that appeared in the IZ episode Abducted, which would mean that ZIM and JTHM take place in the same universe...? Interesting.) In a lot of ways, it had the same energy as ZIM, but lacking the restraints of a children's network- admittedly, it was very fun and tickled the twelve-year-old ZIM fan part of my brain.
The story itself is a bit trippy and somewhat disjointed. There are lots of times where Johnny will go on long monologues about how he sees himself and the world (alongside blocks of text at the beginning and end of each issue from Jhonen himself). The actual story is cut up in-between little unrelated comics of various characters getting slaughtered and mutilated in some way, facing their inner turmoils and making other people miserable, or yelling incoherent word salads and then getting murdered. You are often left unsure as to whether some of the story's events were really happening or just Johnny dreaming or making things up. It also gets kind of cosmic horror-ish at one point, but that proceeds to end itself somewhat abruptly.
I haven't looked at any discussion of the comic and what it's *really* about yet, but my first impression coming out of it is that it's... a lot of things, really? It's a nihilistic black comedy, but I got the feeling that it was also somewhat of a vent story- A lot of JTHM is dark humor and absurd scenarios for the sake of societal criticism and expressing frustration with the world. It brings up a lot of ideas about what the "nature" of humanity is, if there is a caring God, the good and bad of living, and ultimately, what the true "evils" of society are and what causes them- all told through the eyes of a weird morally bankrupt loner that likes torturing and murdering people he doesn't like.
Most of the people that Johnny goes after are assholes and bullies, generally bad people, or anyone that just generally upsets or inconveniences him in day-to-day life. His arc throughout the story is discovering who and what "controls" him in his search for true freedom- and through that, he realizes that he, himself, is a massive contributor to why everything is so awful, eventually seeing people like himself as one of society's issues (but not really doing anything to change or control his behavior, which, to me, suggested he really never attained the "freedom" he desired so much). It was quite interesting to have a main character like that.
And, while I do not really know anything about Jhonen Vasquez as a person, a good amount of Johnny's traits struck me as... maybe a bit of a projection? A lot of the blocks of text from Vasquez at the start of issues will have him describe his thoughts and behaviors, and then in the story, Johnny displays a lot of those same thoughts and behaviors, like his hatred of sleep resulting in him regularly staying up the entire night and his tendency to experience loneliness and sadness (though, of course, these blocks of text might also be Jhonen simply putting up a persona as well.) Still, though, I wouldn't be too surprised if a lot of things about Johnny were in fact an exaggerated depiction of the author's own perceived negative traits and turned into an edgy serial killer character (especially since I know that this is indeed the case for a lot of Vasquez's characters, like ZIM in his inability to realize when his ideas won't work and Dib in his undying need to prove himself above all else in IZ.)
JTHM was one of the most unique things I've read in a while- it's one of those stories that sticks in your brain and leaves an uneasy feeling in you when you come away from it, but it definitely has a lot of substance to it beyond the "edgelord serial killer gorefest" surface-level appearance. It doesn't give you any moments of comfort in its overt negativity, but I think it manages to come out as something meaningful beyond just a nihilist "everything is awful and there's nothing you can do about it" message. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you're up for it, I'd really recommend giving it a shot.

Buttercup Lifts Couch & Mammon Becomes A Dad...? (2024)
------------------
Credit for Steven Universe Series goes to Rebecca Sugar
Credit for Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss goes to Vivienne "Vivziepop” Medrano
Credit for Invader Zim goes to Jhonen Vasquez
Credit for Undertale & Deltarune goes to Toby Fox
Credit for Transformers goes to Hasbro & TakaraTomy
Credit Transformers Animated Series goes to Sam Register & Matt Youngberg
Credit for The Powerpuff Girls goes to Craig McCracken
Credit for Danny Phantom goes to Butch Hartman
------------
if anyone is wondering, Pink-Pearl is suppose to still look like her original gem humanoid but she is also suppose to be a Moth, and well if Lonely-Pearl was a Moth in her corrupted form, it would make sense that Pearls in a Crossover between Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel and Steven Universe, they would be Moths but still look a bit how they originally looked.
I want to call Pink-Pearl by the nickname "Vollie" but it's okay not everyone calls her that, and it would be interesting in a Crossover Fanon Timeline she forms a friendship with Verosika.
and yes I gave that Soundwave a bow on their head, it is suppose to be one of those Sound-Wave copies of the Original Sounwave.
I have had the idea for a while, that Lancer mistakes Mammon as his Dad, just in a different outfit...
I worked on this drawing around January and I'm just now posting it on February...it was not great a few days ago, I know during my trying to write a theory that has to do with Sari that of course has to do with a Crossover with Hazbin Hotel and TFA...
the connection kept going on and off, and yeah I ended up noticing a bit too late that I forgot to put the word "just" and well it is called "Hazformers Theory: What Sari Could Be Doing With Her Autobot Friends MIA" but even when I was trying to write it, the connection kept going off on me, and it was only making me more mad and feeling not so happy...so even when I got lucky and was finally able to post it, but when I wanted to log back on to fix and edit what I notice I forgot to put down on it...and yeah I had finally got around to it today...
but I was having some trouble logging back on, which I think it was because of the connection going off and on me again, and it might of possibly messed up my password, cause when I did try to use it again today......it didn't turn out too well, I still couldn't get on and at some point I had to make a new password just so I could post not only some new fan theories, but also this drawing and that
I seriously wasn't having a good day, I couldn't really get to sleep and well I do feel a little tired right now, it doesn't help that what happen was I guess a bit stressful...
and anyway Peridot is being Feral and is suppose to have Doe Ears and a Tail, like Peridots end up with Deer like appearance.
Alastor ending up adopting her and having her on that very thing that we see her have on her in one of the episodes of Steven Universe, well it can be one of the ways to keep her from running off when she gets all feral...like it only comes off if she calms down and doesn't act all feral.
and even when you make the drawing big, to read what is being said...
here is what Mammon is saying...
"when did I become a Dad…? I don't remember having a kid…unless Stella has been keeping it a secret from me. oh man, do I need to marry Stella?! I'm NOT ready yet!!! I need to call Stella and tell her to pick up our little acciden-…cough I mean Son."
also in this drawing, Buttercup Utonium is 22 years old, so this is the much older future self of Buttercup.
I think I will post one more thing, than I will be heading to bed to get some sleep...I rather post it now than wait until either tomorrow or in a few days...plus if I'm able to, I may talk more about that Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss Theory that has to do with Soul-Partnership Contract...
anyway hope some find it funny that Lancer thinks that Mammon is his Dad, and making Mammon very confused...also I like the Mamtella ship between Mammon and Stella.....their ship name still sounds like a type of food you put on toast, and I don't know if many will end up using that Mamtella ship name or not, so far I'm the first to call those two by that ship name. XD

to that "every comic book" anon: im sorry you feel that way but i think that's like 90% just a problem of marvel and dc. if you want some comics where characters points and personalities don't get utterly fucked over (or develop in natural ways), you should look into more indie (or even just smaller publisher) stuff. those writers tend to be more passionate about actually following through properly, because it's a story they want to tell with characters they truly care about, instead of writer-of-the-week just trying to finish a quota. this isn't universally true of course but it is definitely a noticeable distinction.
depending on your taste, i would recommend:
•"Love and Rockets" by brothers Jaime, Mario, and Gilbert Hernandez (which ran for decades and actually had characters age naturally over time. this started as a fantasy sci-fi thing and eventually became more slice-of-life but it's very good, largely character-driven, and has surprisingly 3d-feeling art for how simplistic it is)
•"I Feel Sick" by Jhonen Vasquez (yes, this is the guy who created invader zim. kinda gorey but a quick read, both darkly funny and compelling, about a woman struggling with art block and mental health after a series of traumatic events. this is only 2 books long and is actually a spinoff of the 7 book "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" but that's harder to recommend to a stranger because of just how over-the-top fucked up it is. i still love jthm too but definitely look up a list of trigger warnings if you read that one).
•"Not Drunk Enough" by Tess Stone (this one has been on hiatus for years so maybe it doesn't count but there are two full books out and the first chapter of book 3, all online (ndecomic dot com). it is also kinda gorey but it was created as a metaphor for the author's feelings when he thought people would judge him for coming out as trans. he felt trapped, felt like everyone was judging him, etc so he didn't come out for a long time. that's where the whole "trapped in a building while thousands of eyes watch" thing came from)
i might come back w more recs in the future if ppl want more but i think im runnin outta space oopsies

Who are your favorite irkens in invader Zim?
Precious anon, this is like walking up to me pigging out on a box of oreos, and asking me which individual cookie is my favorite in the package. The answer is probably “the one I’m currently eating!” with a dumb, cockeyed grin before I turn and reach for the milk.
So thank god you gave me a plural option. If you didn’t, I’d find it challenging to not say Zim himself. Series protagonist, an absolute riot, complex, and, well, it’s hard not to absolutely adore the vibrance Richard Horvitz’s voicework breathed into him.
Skoodge, on the other hand, is one of the characters most of all I have long wanted to see more official content of, most especially even though impossibly in the TV show. He’s usually the one I’ve cited as my favorite Irken over the years. He’s relatable, hilarious, endearing, repulsive, somehow inspiring, but most of all extremely interesting for how unique of an outlier he is in the show when he’s not being the universe’s preferred butt-monkey. Ted Raimi made him pretty easy and fun to listen to, and he has this history and dynamic with Zim incomparable to any other character in the franchise that just... it had so much potential that nickelodeon really slept on. I’m fairly certain I even heard Vasquez complain a bit in a dvd commentary about how underutilized Skoodge went when the series was cancelled. There were serious plans to involve him more as part of the actual main Earth cast and a couple of the unfinished scripts incorporate that, and I’m always one to recommend them. Not even to mention that there was a pitch in the works for an episode where he and Tak would both get screen time.
And speaking of Tak, she’s up there as well, as cliché as it might be in this fandom. The Dibship is nice to have and all, but it just doesn’t scratch that same spot her flash in the pan performance did. Goes without saying she had incredible value as a recurring foil to zim, and like skoodge, she stands far apart from other Irkens in a way that gives her so much more personality for it.
The current tallest, of course, but definitely Red a deal more than Purple. Out of all Tallest we know of? Miyuki, hands down.
If Zib counts, he deserves mention, for no other cause than the fact that he’s kind of the entire reason I got back into invader zim to the point of it over taking so much of my blog activity. That’s not even an exaggeration much, the brainrot started anew with finding out about him. The horrid thing.
Tenn and Larb purely for their proximity to major parts of the series’ world building. Gashloog has a funny name and reminds me a lot of when I used to work in food service myself.
If I could only pick one Irken to kidnap from the horrors of Jhonen’s writing and provide a good home to? Table-headed service drone Bob, any day.

Invader Zim Deathmatch:
ROUND 2, FIGHT 12:
GAZ VS TALLEST SPORK!
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:
Gaz:
“Supreme Gamer”
Appearances:
Gaz appears in many, many episodes and comic issues, so I’m not going to list them
Powers and abilities:
Enhanced strength (like her brother, Gaz shows feats of incredible strength (most likely because she’s a genetically modified clone), including but not limited to being able to throw Dib clean through a wall)
Enhanced agility and stamina (also like her brother, Gaz has enhanced agility and stamina, with the most notable example of this being her climbing up the side of an over 50 story building in the rain without equipment)
Fear (similar to Ms Bitters’ fear ability, Gaz is able to scare most people with threats of extreme violence. Unlike Ms Bitters however, it’s been shown that this ability has limits, with people like Zim showing no fear towards any of her threats. Gaz’s ability to cause fear doesn’t appear to work on anyone that already believes themselves to be on par with or stronger than her and people that are simply too egotistical or arrogant to care, making it a weaker version of Ms Bitters’ fear causing, which works on seemingly everyone)
Intelligence (Gaz is one of the smartest humans in the show, being one of the only people able to see through Zim’s disguise. She also shows skill with engineering and invention, being able to make her own machines (like the robot toys that guard her room) and fix alien technology, not unlike her brother’s skills with tech)
[Mostly Unusable] Gaming (although this seems like it shouldn’t affect anything, Gaz’s gaming skills are an advantage. The reason for this is that a lot of alien technology (mostly vehicles) use controls that are very similar to video game controls, meaning that Gaz can use alien vehicles extremely effectively. Sadly, Gaz doesn’t have any alien technology to use)
Fun Fact:
Despite evidence in the show pointing towards the contrary, Jhonen Vasquez has confirmed that Gaz has no magic or supernatural abilities and that she is simply "someone you don't want to anger". This is why I don’t list any supernatural abilities in her Powers and Abilities section.
Tallest Spork:
“A mix between Tallest Fork and Tallest Spoon”
Appearances:
Spork only appears in the unfinished episode “The Trial”
Powers and abilities:
Irken physiology (can lift over 3 times their body weight and is extremely durable)
Massive Height (as the Tallest, Spork is the tallest Irken alive. This is mentioned as a power because Irkens can lift over three times their body weight and since Spork is way bigger and therefore heavier than most other Irkens, he can lift WAY more as well)
PAK (PAK legs, PAK lasers, shield generator, all the things an Irken PAK can do)
Hovering: (as a Tallest, Spork has access to special equipment that lets him hover above the ground. This improves his movement speed and general maneuverability, but doesn’t grant him the ability to truly fly)
[For This Fight Only] Arrogance (Spork is shown to be extremely arrogant in his only appearance. This MAY provide Spork with some immunity to Gaz’s Fear ability, as we’re shown that sufficiently egotistical and arrogant people seem to be immune to it (for example, Zim).
Fun Fact:
For reasons I cannot explain, Tallest Spork has a lot of in-universe merch, including a life sized balloon Spork that Zim owns for again, unknown reasons.

For anyone interested in the inspo for Natural Born Killers
I went down a rabbit hole started by Percy wearing an Invader Zim tshirt. Which in turn had me watching it and then that led to the Invader Moodboard.
So, this spirals into me trying to find anything by Jhonen Vasquez. As a hyperfixation is wont to do.
I’ll be honest, one of the reasons I am a fan of Percy is that he’s my kind of unhinged weirdo. This stuff is right up my alley and could easily become my whole personality. I don’t know if Percy is an actual fan or if he just happened to have one shirt from a millennial cousin or something.
Either way, it’s a happy discovery.
So, this led me to Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. The easiest thing for me to do was to get the omnibus graphic novel, as the original comics don’t seem to be anywhere and what I could find were basically collector’s items and really expensive. I also got Squee! and Fillerbunny.
I finished all the graphic novels in a night, and I just love the art and the lore of this unhinged universe. I think it plays so well with the Tim Burton Wednesday universe, especially with my own dark flair.
As a warning, JTHM is very unhinged, bloody, and I would say not really meant for the public. lol If that’s your thing, then I would recommend it. It’s a wild ride.
