Listen,

Listen,

I feel you, I do. And I love our irken queens as much as the next fan.

But every single time I see or hear about Poot I start to come undone at the seams being reminded of this meme I made way back when I was in high school and this joke was more relevant.

Like that screenshot of Purple with tears in his eyes shaking and looking like he tasted a lemon? That’s me mentally recalling this image

Skoodge has been excluded in the name of actually underrated characters. Had the series not been canceled, he was already on schedule to join the main cast on Earth anyway.

Tak was never officially an invader to begin with.

And Tenn’s unfortunately failed in her mission, as far as implications go.

Recent discourse reminds me of that cult indoctrination trick that's often used to weed out more difficult marks early on, where they tell you all that you aren't allowed to eat rice on Tuesdays and then if you protest they go "wow SOMEBODY likes rice a little much huh" as if you're the fucking weirdo who cares too much about how much rice is consumed between Monday and Wednesday instead of them.

And this forces you to decide whether your autonomy matters to you more than the approval of the group - while they'll still act like you're on thin ice either way, if you give in at this point they know you're theirs forever, because now they've established a foothold, you've shown a moral weakness, which they will brand you with so it can be used against you in the future ("hey RICE-addict here doesn't want help break into the city records office") to force you to double-down and isolate you further.

And if instead you do decide to push back further, after your abrupt departure from the group ("You're seriously leaving us over RICE?!? Seriously?") and subsequent ostracism, you can then be used as a demonstration to the others who were more pliable, of how the outgroup is full of people like you who are obsessed with violating the No-Tuesday-Rice rule to the point where they'll abandon all their friends, who cared so much for them, so it clearly isn't an arbitrary restriction, you're the kind of monster these rules are intended to protect them from, thus all the other wise and esoteric precepts of the charismatic leader are implied to be equally justified.

He's thinking about regicide and pointy hats today.

Hi! I just came across your blog, and I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your Invader Zim analysis/headcanon posts.

Some really good stuff there! 👽

Eeeeee thank you thank you, enjoy the stroll, take some complimentary cookies.

I‘ve actually noticed myself but I somehow still haven’t come close to running out of things to talk about regarding the show and it is getting to the point where theories are starting to build on theories, I guess what I’m saying is I have build up enough material at this point maybe to justify a master list of sorts. Cause wow it’s collectively been getting a lot more positive attention than I originally could’ve thought of :,)

I’ll accept your sign from the universe to get started on that post-haste in fact

Sly Cooper: Honor Among F#*%s

You know how this goes by now. Sly 3 now hypothetically follows PG13 movie guidelines. Someone gets one F-bomb by the end of the game, choose wisely.
