#mai was an invader zim oc that i got too attached to
Note
Hello! I'm a bit of a new follower of yours, but I've fallen in love with your account: the art, the ocs, speculation, and the friendly asks/responses! I'm an Invader Zim lover, of course, but I only really know the show (a little) and the movie (I have a poster!). I've never even seen the comics.
Anyway, would you like to use this ask to infodump a bit about the stuff that you can't exactly find in the movie/show? I'm a bit foggy about things like Vort and stuff!
I suppose I could google it, and spend a couple hours on old wiki pages, but I feel like this is a more fun way to learn (and interact with the fandom), hopefully for both of us!
Thanks! :) (And hopefully this hasn't been asked yet, haha. I won't be hurt if you leave this ask in the inbox! I know running accounts can be a bit exhausting!)
hello!! this is so sweet, thank you! i’m glad you’re enjoying my blog, i pour a lot of love into it. :)
gotta admit tho, i haven’t read the comics either!! read a few but never committed to finishing them all…someday!!! though my understanding is that there isn’t a spectacular amount of lore in them, they kinda do their own thing, but i don’t want to speak without knowing for sure. there might be PAK lore in there? and Zib came out of the comics, which is a fairly popular character in the fandom. (I might have this wrong because I haven’t read but…Zib is the result of Dib winning in one of many timelines, Zim’s PAK attaches to the back of his head and he goes insane…?)
UGH I COULD TALK ABOUT VORT FOREVER AND NEVER GET BORED!! the Irken/Vortian alliance is fascinating, and canonically we only get bits and pieces that the fandom has taken and ran with. we know that at some point they were allied, and that the building/planning of the Massive (Irken Armada flagship) occurred on Vort. we know that Vort was marked for conquest in Operation Impending Doom II and was successful taken over by Invader Larb. we know that it’s now a military research prison and that the Vortians were enslaved.
what we DON’T know but can assume: the alliance ended because the Vortians were blamed for Tallest Miyuki’s death - being eaten by an energy-consuming blob made by Zim. this is hard to determine because i mean. a bunch of people were there. Zim was boasting about it. bruh. but Irkens are dumb, actually everyone is dumb in this show. but we all have brainrot here and we take things too far and we love it. anyway. we don’t get to see a lot of Vortians so how many are enslaved? how many died in the organic sweep? how did Lard Nar escape and start the Resisty (speculation from Frycook explains some technology that helped some Vortians escape prison but again that’s assumption)? what does Vort even look like? we may have gotten more had the series not been cancelled before shit got real but!!! alas…..
not knowing the exact extent of your current IZ knowledge, I might have just spoken in a totally different language LOL. but thank you for letting me infodump!! my brain doesn’t work well for remembering details or speculating very deep, so I often end up repeating myself, but it’s fun nonetheless. I appreciate you 💜✨

Wick's IZ characters meet the OCs that inspired them: Part Three
Aik Membrane meets Aphyxi West
(@aik-membrane created in 2022, Aphyxi created in 2019
Ft mentions of @ambassador-d1b, @game-slavers , and @ukagaka-zim)
Two characters are put in a nearly empty room. No doors, windows, or decor. Just two chairs, a table with food, and a note. The note reads "Enjoy your time together." The food products are coffee beans, licorice, lemon slices, sunflower seeds, and milkshakes.
Once again, the Invader Zim character arrived first. Aik Membrane blinked and tilted his head. "This isn't my apartment."
His first thought was this was somebody's mindscape, but no one was there. He noticed the note and read it silently.
While Aik was reading, a teenager appeared. He wore a black leather jacket, jeans, and a white t-shirt with matching boots. All of the clothes looked well used but sturdy. The kid's hands were tucked into his pockets, he was very pale, like he had never seen the sun a day in his life, and had striking blue eyes with jet black hair that gave an uncomfortable contrast to his skin. He seemed tired upon arriving.
Aik looked the newcomer up and down to get a feel for him. "Hello."
"Who are you? What's up with your hair?"
"Ah, it's a phenomenon that no one in my family can really explain. The name is Aik Membrane, I presume you may have heard of me?" Aik offered.
"Nope." The kid shook his head.
"I'm not terribly surprised, considering where we are," Aik mused.
"And where are we?"
"Some sort of… black space between worlds I think. Either like a free space where people can come and go, as they please or as someone else pleases, or a magical space that's attached to no reality aside from the mind," Aik suggested.
"Sounds like the Void," the kid shrugged.
Aik got the feeling that what he knew as a void and what the kid knew as a void were entirely different. "What do you mean by void?"
"It's a place where you can send people, hold onto them and keep them out of trouble. It both exists and it doesn't, it's basically trapping them in their own head. They don't remember anything when they get out though," the kid explained.
"That is… very different from the void I am familiar with," Aik mused.
"What's yours like?"
"It's a place that you can come to and from freely, a magic type of space that exists between realities and can be visited by many sorts of people," Aik explained.
"I don't believe in magic." The kid shrugged.
Aik chuckled. "I do." He snapped his fingers and a red light appeared at his fingertips, flickering.
The kid seemed confused. "How are you doing that? Your levels don't match, you're not a B.U.G. user."
"A what now?"
"You don't know what a B.U.G. is? Where are you from?"
"Earth in Universe 15."
"What country?"
"America." Aik let the light disappear.
"No one calls it that anymore, what year are you in?" the kid asked.
"2023."
"Yep, you're from the past," the kid sighed.
"Am I?" Aik tilted his head.
"I guess." The kid shrugged.
Aik nodded. "How interesting. I didn't catch your name, by the way."
"Oh, I'm Aphyxi. Aphyxi West." The kid held his hand out to Aik. It was a robotic hand.
Aik barely reacted to the sight of the hand and accepted the handshake calmly. "Your hand is good craftsmanship, did you make it?"
"Sort of, I helped Chrome with it. Shouldn't we focus on getting out of here?" Aphyxi asked.
"I don't think there's anything we can do to get out ourselves. I sense someone watching us, though I don't sense any hostile intent." Aik opened up a scanner on his robotic arm and scanned the room. "Nor do I detect weapons or cameras of any sort. And this room seems to be the only thing that exists here. I imagine if whoever brought us here wanted to harm us, they would have. Plus, this note seems to insinuate we are here to cater to someone's curiosity."
"What note?" Aphyxi asked.
Aik pointed to the note and Aphyxi went to read it.
"Weird," Aphyxi said.
"I've seen weirder," Aik replied.
Aphyxi chuckled. "Yeah, me too."
"Oh, have you now? Do tell." Aik sat on a chair and grabbed a handful of coffee beans.
"A red headed girl talking to a giant mutant animal? Think Loch Ness Monster on steroids," Aphyxi said.
"That is pretty weird." Aik nodded.
"What have you seen?" Aphyxi asked.
"Alien planets and species for one. Also my old Boss is a shape shifting fairy creature that uses telepathy to talk," Aik said.
"Yikes, that's pretty weird."
"It is," Aik agreed. "If you've seen mutants, how come you don't believe in magic?"
"Magic is just science people don't understand, I can do what you did and I'm not magic." Aphyxi held his palm up and a blue light appeared on his hand, hovering.
"Oh, very nice." Aik clapped lightly. "How do you do it?"
"You're not going to call me a freak or anything, are you?" Aphyxi asked.
"Kid, I'm willing to bet a significant amount of money that I am more of a freak than you are. I'm a clone created by a mad scientist, and I used to be an assassin," Aik explained.
Aphyxi blinked. "Huh. Well alright then. I'm an experiment for a war organization, it's since been shut down, but I have a chip in my head that allows me to do crazy shit. Like this." One of the milkshakes on the table floated up, a soft blue glow around it.
"I see. Very interesting. I hope you're in a better place now?" Aik asked.
"I mean yeah, technically. Hard to find a good place in an apocalypse, but I did my best," Aphyxi said. "Remember, I'm in the future. World War 3 fucked up the world, so there really isn't any good places left."
"Damn, I can imagine. But you're with people that care about you?" Aik asked.
"Of course. Chrome, Deliva, Czara, and the rest of the test subjects." Aphyxi nodded, taking the milkshake in his hand and releasing the blue glow.
"I do not know who these people are," Aik said, munching on individual coffee beans.
"Uhhh, Chrome is an ex soldier that used to work for the war organization, he helped me escape. Deliva was the unfortunate wife of their leader, she helped take it down. And Czara is the first other test subject I met, she helped me defeat the organization too," Aphyxi explained, sipping on the milkshake.
"You've had a rough life, it sounds like. How old are you?"
"Eighteen now."
"Get yourself somewhere not war related, war isn't good for young minds."
"Believe me, I know. I'm working on it," Aphyxi said.
"Very good." Aik nodded approvingly. This kid reminded him a bit of his younger self. "What would you like to talk about while we're here?"
"Why do you believe in magic?" Aphyxi asked.
"Because I can do magic, I know people who do magic, and I've seen it in action half of my life," Aik explained. "However, that is my world, not yours. Not only are you in a future where World War 3 happened, but I doubt we're even from the same timeline."
"Probably not. There's not any way I could test that though, the term America hasn't been used in almost a hundred years, and all of the data about the times before the war has been kind of lost to the nuclear fallout. I don't know much of anything about Earth's past," Aphyxi said.
"I see. A shame that happened," Aik replied.
Aphyxi shrugged. "We might be from the same timeline, we might not. Guess we'll never know."
"I suppose so," Aik agreed. "Are you used to the concept of timelines?"
"Not really, I am aware of the concept of course, and I've always believed that there were parallel universes, I've just never seen it in action or had any experience with it," Aphyxi said.
"Well, now you have." Aik chuckled.
Aphyxi nodded. "You said you were a clone, right? How does that work? Like are you an exact copy of someone?"
"Physically, yes technically. But I have my own mind, my own personality. Mentally, I am nothing like my creator. The other clones aren't direct clones though, they have different DNA included, so they are not exact copies," Aik explained.
"Fascinating… My mad scientist tried to create clones and failed horribly. So he just opted to use children instead," Aphyxi said.
"Mad scientists and their tendency for child experiments, what is with that…" Aik shook his head in disappointment.
"I know, right? In my opinion, they should all have their arms ripped off and shoved down their throat," Aphyxi said.
"Consider their genitals being exploded," Aik chuckled.
"Ohh that's a good idea, I'm going to use that," Aphyxi grinned.
"You certainly may."
"Too bad he's already dead…" Aphyxi sighed wistfully.
"A shame, he won't know the tortures he justly deserved." Aik nodded solemnly.
"I'm sure they'll be other assholes to test it on," Aphyxi chuckled.
"Oh certainly, the world is full of fucked up people that deserve their genitals exploded," Aik agreed.
"Yay, genital explosion!"Aik chuckled. "Huzzah!"
"You're funny, I like you." Aphyxi grinned.
"I might say the same about you, you have an impeccable sense of humor," Aik replied.
"Why thank you, so do you."
Aik feigned surprise. "Gasp, as do I."
"Shocking, right?"
"Not at all." Aik stuck out his tongue in a friendly blep.
Aphyxi seemed confused and chuckled.
"Are you familiar with affection?" Aik couldn't help but ask.
Aphyxi shook his head. "Pff, why are you asking it like I'm a mysterious creature that barely knows English?"
"That is just how I talk to everyone," Aik chuckled.
"Yes, I am familiar with affection. Hugs, pats, the whole bit," Aphyxi answered. "I'm just not the most touchy person."
"That's fair enough, not everyone is," Aik nodded.
"Are you a touchy person?"
"With certain people, yes. My siblings, mainly," Aik explained.
"You have siblings? Are they assholes?"
"No, the other clones are my siblings. D1b and Eep are my brothers, and we have an adopted sister. I also have a bother in law known as Zim," Aik explained.
"Bother in law, ha. That's funny," Aphyxi chuckled.
"Do you have siblings?" Aik asked.
"I have an older brother, he's literally the worst," Aphyxi said.
"Ah, that's a shame."
"Yeah, he's a bully and a war criminal," Aphyxi said. "Well I'm also a war criminal, but the good kind."
"Can't argue with that." Aik nodded.
"What are your brothers like?" Aphyxi asked.
"D1b is a sweetheart who loves monsters and the paranormal. He'd question creatures to death if they let him. And Eep is very small, he likes rocks and making friends. They're both precious," Aik explained.
"You seem really attached to them," Aphyxi commented.
"Of course, they're my family." Aik nodded.
"Lucky." Aphyxi sighed.
"Would you like a pat?" Aik asked, sensing the kid was hiding some sadness.
"Sure?" Aphyxi seemed confused.
Aik reached out and gave the kid a gentle pat. Aphyxi just stayed still, sipping his milkshake with confusion.
"Family doesn't have to be blood related, you know," Aik said.
"I guess." Aphyxi looked at the milkshake. He didn't like the subject, so immediately tried to change it. "I shouldn't be drinking this."
"Why? Worried about toxins?"
"No, I have a dairy intolerance."
"Ouch," Aik made a face. Poor him having no clue he has the same.
"It's just so good though…" Aphyxi sighed wistfully.
"I can't argue with you there." Aik chuckled and took the second milkshake.
Aphyxi chuckled too and was silent for a moment. "How long do you think the curious person will keep us here?"
"Maybe until they're bored?" Aik shrugged. "Maybe we're timed."
"If it's the first option, we should be as boring as possible," Aphyxi suggested.
"Well I'm afraid that's impossible, we're too of the most interesting people I've ever met," Aik chuckled.
"Darn, you're right." Aphyxi snapped his fingers.
"Such a shame." Aik nodded.
"Jokes aside, I can't stay here forever, I've got to get home."
"As do I. If too much time passes, I can try to see if Minimoose or Zim can reach us here. Though, this is fun for now," Aik said.
"Okay, how would they reach us? You said that this isn't connected to a reality."
"Zim has a portal and Minimoose can teleport people," Aik explained.
"Across universes?" Aphyxi asked.
Aik nodded.
"Wow, that's awesome."
"Isn't it?" Aik chuckled.
A dart whizzed through the room, a note on it, and it struck the wall.
Both Aphyxi and Aik glanced at the dart calmly. The note began to glow blue as Aphyxi used telekinesis to pull it off the dart and hold it where he could read it out loud. "Say your goodbyes, you'll be going home soon."
"Maybe we were timed," Aik mused.
"Guess we don't have to worry about rides home." Aphyxi shrugged. "You were fun to talk to and chat with though."
"You as well, perhaps we shall meet again." Aik stood and bowed slightly.
"Yeah, maybe. Bye?"
"Goodbye."
And with that, they were suddenly both returned to their own worlds and lives.

HELLO MAC PLS PLS PLS TELL ME MORE ABOUT MAI I AM KIND OF IN LOVE WITH HER I THINK.......... u had me as soon as i heard small town ufo type beat 👀
OK OK OK OK THE BASICS.
Sammy and Neil Parker r brothers living in a small desert town (does not have a name yet bc I'm bad at those. thinking a one word adjective name like Oasis or Radiant or smth like that. Some beautiful word and then u look at the town and it's . tiny and a desert. that kinda vibe)
Sammy is a college dropout, working as a mechanic to earn money to take care of himself & his brother. he knows SO much abt machines and how they work he's rlly good at that. He is very much a realist and doesn't indulge in fantasy or anything like that. he does not believe in aliens or ghosts or anything. UNLIKE. his little brother
Neil is likeee 14-15 and OBSESSED with space. he loves aliens and space travel it's basically all he ever talks abt. He's kinda like the boy who cried wolf tho bc every time there's a meteor shower hes convinced a ufo is crashing and drags sam out in the desert at ungodly hours of the night to look for the crash site. ofc they never find anything.. until they do
Mai is on the run from the rest of her planet- she tried to stage a one-man revolution in order to take over her own home planet which. obviously failed. so she stole a ship and ran and ended up on earth :] she's bad at flying though and crashed the ship out in the middle of the desert.
blah blah plot stuff happens Mai realizes if she can't become queen overlord of her home planet maybe she can conquer earth instead. she learns abt bees and ants and how their little bug societies are 'ruled' by queens and it goes to her head a little bit. She's like evil >:] energy but also she's basically harmless bc she's not reallyyyyy. good at anything hBGNDNSS.
she needs sammy to fix her ship bc they're a mechanic, sammy is rightfully scared out of his MIND at first but neil is absolutely fucking enamored with a REAL ALIEN being in their house. neil eventually befriends Mai bc she's not as evil as she says she is and Sammy warms up to them too.
he basically has to learn how alien technology works from scratch though bc mai is no help ("I had more important things to learn about than spaceships obviously. do I look like a nerd to you") so it takes a REALLY long time to fix her ship.
Eventuallyyyy when it does get fixed mai is less concerned w taking over a society and being an evil overlord and more concerned w like....exploring space and finding new planets and things like that. (she's still evil tho dw :). neil has just rubbed off on her). so when she leaves she offers to take neil and sammy with her. spoilers tho. neil stays on earth and sam leaves w her.
#i wrote a big post abt neils future on earth its rlly good if i do say so myself#sammys prns r he/they btw. in love w them#m&m is an amalgamation a lil bit because the 3 mains r all characters that used to be from totally different stories lmao#sammy used to belong to a superhero universe..... neil was my human vrsion of the space core when i was into portal 2 so bad#mai was an invader zim oc that i got too attached to#imagine likeeeee.#im bad at designing aliens BUT the general idea is like. imagine a beehive except the queen is actually 2 kings.#they rule over everything and its a big. awful patriarchy and mai rightfully hates it but also shes not smart#neil tag#mai tag#sammy tag#m&m tag#SRRY IF THIS IS JUMBLED my brain is not in writing mode. only thinking abt blorbos no coherency.#rotating mai in my mind like shes in a microwave
