#Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain

[inbarfink]

You know, ‘Invader Zim’ is not a show that takes it’s continuity too seriously, one that really doesn’t care about inexplicably bringing characters back to life or bizarre endings that are ‘snapped back’ in the next episode, or putting the Christmas Episode chronologically after the Valentine’s Day episode… 

But I actually don’t think making an Invader Zim timeline that takes all episodes into consideration and makes sense is not that tall a task. I mean, yeah, Zim did turn into a bologna, but like… he probably got himself out of tighter jams. It’s not that implausible that he and Dib managed to save themselves off-screen.

Except, the actual moment that makes constructing a full canon-complaint and convincing IZ Timeline actually difficult - is this oneshot gag in “Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain.”

Thinking about that Invader Zim Episode Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain.

And how cool this dog version of a baba yaga house.

Where is a Hot Topic figure of the house?

I know it would be expensive but I would buy it.

Invader ZIM Se1 - Ep14 Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain - Screen 05 - YouTube

---------------------------

This might inspire Lux Abode fused with ffuP's final form in the dreamscape Illbleed inspired game.

But the legs are upside down and right side up.

You have to defeat fused Lux Abode with ffuP by disarming the traps with a light switch trap item to turn off the traps she set up then a cutscene will play and she will run after your character then you flip the trapswitch on as it turns on all the traps at once to hurt her.

Then it pushes her into a icy area where Lux thinks she has won then drops in a green "water" which is acid that "kills" her but at the end it hints that ffuP survived holding Lux's star anise genotype necklace in her mouth to start over again.

Also reminds me of Goht from Majora's mask.

Goht - Zelda Wiki (fandom.com)

I image successfully killing Lux Abode and ffuP together in ice with a acid bath be like. Lux would say "Since realtor's are plants and not animals and ffuP you're a fungus. Where do we go when we die?" "Like a good or bad place?"

She would joke about being a ghost house before dying.

And make ghost noises before fading away.

Also ffuP will talk without telepathy talking for the first time.

But if you like her company you can just say "It's not game over yet." and both will fade back in as ghosts.

Lux would say "The big person upstairs and below stairs have no idea where to put Me and ffuP so the middle ground will do nicely. "

"All this floating and boy is my body tired."

Oh yeah Lux Abode's ghost form changes from the lure or the actual house body and sometimes the lurebody with the housebody as a object head.

So sometimes you will have a conversation with a ghost house that only you the player can see.

Unless the player describes the ghost.

When you the player eats something to completion the ghost realtor eats the ghost of the foods.

For example.

You make a sandwich and you finish your food the ghost of the food floats to the ghost realtor to eat.

They can only eat ghost foods and they want you to describe the food in real time to them before this happens.

------------------

Lux Abode's voice canon is QueenBlaze.

Her voice fits her very well.

Fun fact: Dark Harvest was my first Zim episode and I haven't heard pigeons cooing the same way ever again

[hiskillingjar]

First of all if this is a question you are not going to answer you can skip it.

If Mc got pregnant and told them she/they was pregnant, how would Ren Strade Law react?

g-d i've been on such a pregnancy kink lately. i blame it on the end of my twenties approaching and being in a relationship with a heterosexual cis man. anyway.

ren 🦊

ren would be absolutely fucking delighted oh my g-d

he might just cry. like full on

you do a test and he might start crying

he gets someone new to take care of (and depend on him), and your bond is going to get even stronger. why wouldn't he be delighted!

he'd also have a brain and be super gentle and. Normal Boyfriend with you while you were pregnant

because like obviously you can't stand some of the things you usually do, and he's not going to put your body through any stressors. you might have kind of an easy go of it, to be honest

he'd even take you to a hospital for check-ups and stuff, just to make sure there's nothing to worry about, in spite of the whole. kidnapping thing. what a nice guy!

and like. obviously he's gonna get a little eager about your body changing, your hips and tummy filling out (your breasts getting bigger)

seeing the effects of his "love" on your entire being, your body might make him go a little insane (positive)

that's fine though. you're pretty insane by the end of it too <3

written this with fox :)

law 🥀

law would freak OUT

oh my g-d they are not ready for that at all

idk law is so. on the precipice of death at all times, so the very idea of creating life with you would really make them panic

like. okay in the context of them in canon, they might lose themselves and accidentally kill you

(and open you up and cut out the foetus to put in a jar. freak)

but okay. you make a baby and SOMEHOW you manage to carry it to term

they still wouldn't really know what to do but may be a little more intrigued as time goes by

the human body changes so much during pregnancy, your bones shift, your organs move to make room for this...invasive thing inside you. that's pretty interesting

and they'd definitely be compelled by the idea of you sharing your body with them to such an intimate degree. you let them curl up inside you, be carried there, be assimilated to create a combination of the two of you...there's romance to that

things that freak you out can be pretty sexy!

strade 🔨

strade would honestly be in two minds about it

like on the one hand, he's a total hedonist who wants to do what he wants and works in porn and snuff. what business does he have having a child?

but then. he's a man (derogatory). the idea of claiming you, corrupting you, taking everything you are and creating a legacy for himself...that's compelling. that's interesting!

and what man can say no to big boobs and a heightened libido

and like if you're insane (like i am), the whole pseudo-housewife thing just has its natural conclusion in him knocking you up so. that may be where the story takes me

granted, he's an idiot and would treat you like he normally does, baby be damned (ren would be sooooo mad at him for it which just gives him more incentive to do it)

and he also wouldn't let you go to a hospital for check ups so like. hope you have a lot of pregnancy books, because you're doing this on your own babes

he MIGHT pay a dark web surgeon to deliver it though, american mary style. he doesn't really want you dead, after all

unfortunately he might be a pretty good dad.

he's got a lot of energy to keep up with a baby, he's interested in seeing it grow, he's interested in seeing how it develops.

might see it more as like. a neat houseplant or a dog, not really a human being though

[huggingtentacles]

An insight into my thought process when invading, with a green text format because I like the way it's structured:

> be me

> invading in Elden Ring for fun (idiot)

> before I'm even in their world, I check the lobby to see how many people I'm up against

> 3 people, one of them has a japanese name, safe to assume the rest are japanese (which means the latency is going to be shit)

> Mentally shrinking my avalible arsenal for close quarters confrontation down to like 3 weapons

> 0.1 seconds after the loading screen ends I take note of the area, the spawn point gives me an idea of where they are (sometimes)

> 5 seconds after the invasion starts I look for which mobs are dead and which are alive, which ones move around and stand still, to approximate their location

> 10 seconds into the invasion I see a healthbar appear, immediately knowing how much hp one of them has, who they're fighting and where, run to that location while calculating all potential choke points and ambushes I can pull off on the way

> approach them, they don't see me yet, try to ambush from the corner

> they don't react fast enough but due to latency with Japan they are able to spam roll away from some damage even though I performed all the correct actions, they have an invulnerability button

> make some distance, take a few hits. Note their builds, how much hp and defences they have, set to prioritise people with lowest health

> they have no reason to progress through the area, and I can't attack them head on, so I deploy the Throwing Shit Tactics™

> trying to stimulate their smooth brains enough for them to think that if they don't attack, I will slowly whittle them down, which is objectively not true, they can stall forever, but I can make them believe they can't stall forever

> throw pots, shoot arrows, cast magic, apply status effects

> they bite, start pressuring me

> I retreat to mobs, giving me breathing room and maybe separating them

> one of them gets tunnel visioned on a mob and overextended for 0.8 seconds which gives me an opening to land a hit

> his buddies immediately swarm

> I calculate that if I hit him again and then throw something for a finish, I can take him out, but I need to take some damage, I decide that it's a reasonable risk, considering how few mobs there are in the area

> the plan works, he dies, but I take more damage than I anticipated because one of them is overlevelled

> I survive with little flasks left

> making the best out of the situation I stack regen buffs that I prepare beforehand on every build to save on heals

> from the gameplay I've seen so far I determine that these guys are trash at the game and are super predictable, I could maybe take a 2v1 if I soften them up

> when I engage they run away because obviously it's impossible to kill an invader with 2 flasks left when all you have is a measly level 400 phantom, triple her heals, and insane latency that allows you to be invulnerable, you obviously need more firepower to defeat that

> I weigh my chances with the remaining mobs in the area I have and determine that I might not be able to pull off the same play if they have 3 people again

> run after them hoping I'm good enough to just beat them in a 2v1 with no mobs and almost no heals

> playing aggressively is hard but I manage, I use all the moves I know to keep them busy

> unfortunately I run out of stamina before they run out of spam, I take damage and have to heal, they summon a third, I retreat

> I have no heals, there are three people at almost full health, and 3 dogs before the fogwall

> the dogs would be useful if the phantoms didn't one-shot them

> they attack me immediately as I retreat, I can't ambush

> I do what I can but I'm not good enough at the game to beat 3 people with nothing

> I take out the guy who died earlier, but the heal doesn't reach my flask in time, and they corner me

> die, reflecting on what I could've done differently to maybe win this, as they perform dishonourable actions over my corpse.

> The last thing I see before everything fades to black is the notification about a hunter being summoned into the host's world

> realise that even if I suddenly gained all of my heals back and absolutely destroyed these idiots in an epic 3v1 showdown, I would still have to fight 2 blue hunters

> gain the !Ultra Mega Depression! status effect and close the game

The same invasion from the hosts perspective:

> be me, playing elden ring for the first time after getting it on the winter sale

> summon 2 of my friends who have played this game on release

> they literally destroy everything in one hit

> we get invaded

> guys let's just wait for the invader to fight us here

> the invader doesn't fight us in an enclosed space where we can melt her instantly

> charge the invader, mash attack buttons randomly

> thanks to our epic teamwork she can't attack any of us without taking guaranteed damage

> my friend dies

> obviously have to resummon him again, why wouldn't I, it's free advantage for no cost

> almost died trying to resummon, thankfully my well times dodge button spam allows my friend to land guaranteed damage on the invader

> Charge her again

> Mash buttons randomly in complete safety of my friend's hitboxes surrounding me at all times

> my friend dies again, but we defeat the invader

> hard earned victory

> a blue shows up a little too late, I wish we could have 4 people on our team

> walk into the fogwall

> die to the boss in one hit because I have no health and never had to learn how to build my character due to having 2 level 400 phantoms throughout the entire playthrough

[formulatrash]

Sorry for dropping something non-F1 related in your inbox but you are one of the first people I have ever seen acknowledge that in the harsh light of hindsight, baby Ryan and especially Shane do come across as a bit thoughtlessly dickish and insensitive in their older videos.. And how lovely it has been to see them mature into genuinely thoughtful, sensitive people who clearly value each other and what they’re doing all without needing to call attention to it. Your tags are just a nice little tribute to underrated growth <3

never apologise for putting non-F1 in my inbox tbh. (and sorry for not replying to the rest of the SM asks brain has been on low power mode)

idk what went on at Buzzfeed but the men who've come out of it - Ryan and Shane, Steven and Andrew, the Try Guys - have all emerged as very thoughtful versions of themselves. they're goofy idiots, also but I think it's interesting proof that cishet men, in particular, benefit massively from diversity. once they're allowed outside their regimented boxes they don't freak out, they grow.

Ryan and Shane are particularly sharp because Ryan's easy to point to as a no-homo jock but he was also the one least able to hide his emotions. whether that was excitement that he got to tell people about something or pretty deep empathy for the victims and circumstances of cases, which he often seemed quite distressed about even in the early BFU episodes, to the fear that he barely gets a grip on. he didn't have to get taught vulnerability and there's probably all kinds of things from being (relatively speaking) short and a PoC and coming from two different, non-white cultural backgrounds and working on all those muscles cus he seems like he was probably a bully magnet but when he wasn't scared the frat guy mask did used to slip down pretty fast.

Shane was a much worse, IMO, kinda dick in that he had a real or acted superiority complex in that nerdish self-defensive way where he had to be The Smartest Guy In The Room. he often went way over dismissive into outright rude and was insensitive about real-life cases. I don't mean the thing where he laughed at the woman in the Bellaire house saying her dog had been thrown - tbh, I can well imagine having some weird laughter response that was half-awkwardness and half-panicky there myself, confronted with a serious conversation about something that I don't believe happened and in such weird circumstances. I mean he used to be a bit snipe-y and often excessively cynical in a quite invasive way about the true crime cases and the same in searching for a slam-debunk on supernatural. the kind of guy your friend brings to the pub as their new boyfriend and he spends all night telling you everything you enjoy is wrong and stupid.

both of them obviously always had redeeming features and the flashes of them being dicks were small enough it wasn't actually off-putting. there were a few BFU moments where they'd either get snobby about crime-heavy neighbourhoods or have some weird cop-loving moment that gave me the heebs but also: standard 2016.

every time they got called out for shit, they seem to have learned from it. every time they were pushed to consider other people, they did. it turned out even though both of them had massive on-paper dickhead potential, they only needed the tiniest push to tear through that paper and find something much more interested in not just the world and people around them but who they are and what they really like/want to be.

a really interesting thing, I think, is the contrast between Ruining History and Puppet History. in Ruining History (which I really enjoy, I wanna emphasise) Shane is the smartest guy in the room. in Puppet History, he's at best the weirdest. using the Professor as a weird little blue ballsack avatar means Shane doesn't exactly disappear but gets more space to do his strange little bits as a production he creates, not something about him. it obviously has weird roots in the horrors of the Hotdaga and the determination to keep doing a bit whether anyone likes it or not comes from that standoffish superiority but in Puppet History it becomes a sandbox to play in, not an emotional straitjacket.

something I think about a lot is in the nearly-70th episode they have that bit where Shane fucking books it out of the body chute in Waverley. properly terrified, running up the stairs because of a frog or something and Ryan chose not to put that in the episode because he knew Shane being unflappable and immune to fear was a more interesting contrast to his own terror. idk I have a lot of Ryan And Shane And Masculinity And The Contrast Between Nerds (Stupid And Jocks (Also Stupid) And How To Exist In The Venn Spaces Overlapping In Between that are mostly about some complex relationship to my own identity.

(which is def woman but also Stupid Car Boy)

anyway wow I will stfu but basically: the BFU to Watcher pipeline is a very good model for how to be fellas (considerate)

[refriedrambles]

Skipping forward to notes on Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain to get a better grasp on GIR. (might do some for GIR Goes Crazy and Stuff too, but we'll see how much I got in me)

I know this isn't about the Tallest but I love how this episode opens. Like they're just confused,

Purple points out the kid behind Zim while he's talking about his improved security and "I'm glad it had a happy ending after all." "Me toooo."

Perfect, wonderful, I love it. They give no shits about being seen either

Zim's not nearly as frazzled as usual by being seen like he is slightly panicked but it's very muted. Whether that's cause he fumbled so hard in front of the Tallest (again) or the fear of being exposed he gets over it so quickly and just goes into fix it mode.

He love just telling people what he's doing, like he reveals his plans to Dib after they're solidly in progress when he thinks he has the upper hand, (unlike Dib blabbing immediately when he thinks of one) but he'll tell his minions anything and will inform the Tallest while he's in the middle of things or even afterwards with them though he doesn't go nearly as into detail with them. (It's like his only social outlet.) He's gotta at least try to look good to the Tallest

He just has the replacement part in his PAK and apparently has more up stairs? That's suspicious

Zim is so done with GIR in this episode. Like he's sorta but not really trying to work with him here. It's heavily reminding me of how he "fired" Keef in Bestest Friend. I still think he's mimicking someone or more likely multiple people who used to be in a position of authority over him at one point. But he almost always gives into GIR in the end. A good example this this little interaction

Big sigh, "Pretend it's a taco!" "If there are any changes in the data,"

big sigh again, "taco beam, just let me know." Turns away disgruntled with his brain

What's this episode about? Hurting Zim's pride. That's it go home lol

BUT GIR we're here to focus on GIR! He gets stuck on the taco commercial until Zim attempts to play into the taco thing. He goes into duty mode, he tries to focus, but it's simply not interesting to him

This show and mooses. I don't think I've ever seen A Room with a Moose tbh. And Mortos der Soulstealer. I'm pretty sure on that one

Notably Zim didn't yell at GIR or shout his name to get his attention in the lead up to GIR becoming the house. He's clearly exasperated by dealing with the bot, but he's not lashing out. Some character development there until things go wrong

This is flash of concern on Zim's face when GIR doesn't respond. He's wobbling between annoyance and concern as he carries him

There's the slightest moment dawning horror as Zim realizes GIR is the house now, but he shoves that down so quickly and just starts ordering him around like normal lol. And he's immediately hit with what he as expecting too getting squeezed like a chew toy

Zim can't let his guard down at all with GIR as the house even before it start to go bad. He's trying to stay in control of the situation and keep his authority over GIR so can't let his guard down at all

"BORING!" staving of the boredom is his life's mission

Zim's having flashbacks to the Doom song

"He's got to wear himself out eventually. I'll just wait. I can outlast him."

You learned nothing from the Doom song Zim. You danced cause you couldn't handle the singing, but you just let it happen again smh

Definitely agree that Zim struggles with threat assessment. Like he's scared that GIR is the house on some level (especially after the squeezing) but it's still just GIR too so not the biggest deal. (It's a very big deal.)

It is cute that GIR tries to comfort Zim with the things he likes tho

"Must obey the Taco man!" GIR my guy

"SWEET JUMPING CHILI BEAN." between screaming and begging. wtf Zim

Zim's so terrified of everything going on right now. Like the threat of being exposed, the being tossed around like it's nothing, the weight of GIR being the house hitting him like a brick. It's no wonder he looks like he's about to cry

Brilliant joke with the guy and the car

It is absolutely nuts that the base can turn into a giant mech dog

Zim even says please.

"Maybe you're right." Hope! "Maybe I've get a giant burrito too." And it's crushed lol

GIR is so used to used to ordering and outright ignoring Zim

Just places cup and starts to stink down the screen money still stuck to his face. This kid is so done with life.

Zim doesn't care at all about food service works despite his awful experience with it. I'm not even sorta surprised

He has the food and immediately knows how to deal with GIR again

"BUT I need tacos! I need them or I will explode. That happens to me sometimes." He almost sounds like he's gonna cry, but that's a pretty interesting line. Like he self destructs willingly a lot, but that implies it's also out of his control at times ooo

Absolutely destroyed the city

Full circle that's nice

Anyway~ Zim was good on his word and handed the tacos over, before trying to convince GIR to let him fix things. Good move on his part

I don't think this episode really says a lot about GIR that we can't gleam from non GIR centric episodes, but it does show a bit of a shift in how Zim deals with him when he's actively getting in the irken's way

I'm tempted to also watch Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy cause I do feel like it's a bit of a GIR episode and it's literally the next episode, but I'm gonna stick to my plan for now

tell me your fave and least fave invader zim episodes. also tell me a fave moment you got me rewatching it again and i forgot how fun this show was

ASKDJLASKJLSAJND FIRST OF ALL ty for giving me the opportunity to infodump abt invader zim i have been rattling it around inside my brain for like a month now so i was very excited when i saw this ask KASJLKJSLKJ

i have a couple fav episodes!!! in no particular order, i rly like:

invasion of the idiot dog brain!! gir is rly cute and funny in this ep, its what got me to rly start liking him

game slave 2!! gaz is one of my favs and shes great in this ep. plus i rly like all the Gamer Humor, u can tell it was written by someone who actually understands what video game fans r like ASDKJLDSK

bloaty's pizza hog!! another gaz-centric ep, shes so funny and badass in this. autism icon (i think abt "im trying to draw a LITTLE PIGGY" on a regular basis btw)

tak the hideous new girl!!! tak is one of my FAV characters i miss her SO MUUUCHHH this ep was such a great introduction to her shes so fucking cool

zim eats waffles!!! ik nothing much rly happens in this one but thats part of the charm imo KDASJLKDJ also this ep makes me hungry

the wettening!! i just love how petty zim is in this one KSJLKJF he could have annihilated earth in the end but instead he chose to get vengeance on this 12 year old boy for throwing a water balloon at him which i think is a shining example of who zim is as a character LOLLLL

dib's wonderful life of doom!! this one is actually rly fucked up but thats why i like it so much. u just KNOW dib walked out of that room in the end w like 10 new mental illnesses

gir goes crazy and stuff!! can u tell i rly like gir episodes SKLJDSLKJ i think its rly interesting to see what hes capable of when hes NOT all glitchy and malfunctioning. if u think abt it the tallests saved zims life by giving him a faulty sir unit

least fav eps r probably dark harvest and rise of the zitboy just bc they gross me out LOLLL im not particularly sensitive to drawn/animated gore but dark harvest made me squeamish SKFLJLKFJ i still think they have funny moments in them but i cant watch them all the way thru

as for favorite moments.....hoooo boy theres a lot!! ive been watching various clip compilations over the past few days JHDJLSAHJ i rly like most gir scenes bc hes my fav and i think hes rly funny and cute. enter the florpus had a TON of moments that made me laugh rly hard like the ham scene w gaz and zim, gir's peace song, prof. membrane's line abt how he used to think sharks were his friends, etc etc that movie is just so fucking funny. oh ALSO i rly like the "ZIM!!" "WHAT???" scene from mortos der soulstealer (which they call back to in the movie LOL). theres probably WAAYYY more that i love but this post is already getting super long so ill cut it short SAKJDLASJDKD

once again ty for letting me talk abt this anon i love invader zim. I Have Autism

[kobblefort]

Rushsly: Second Cavern Arc 1

Tell me about it, lol. You and me both

There comes a time in any new and many veteran players' fortresses when you realize that you should have gelded or just straight-up butchered those fucking dogs you started with all the way back at the start because you are never going to need this many dogs - but before you go hacking them all up for meat that your dumb-ass kobbles (or dorfs, if you're boring) will just leave to rot on the floor, consider that it could be fun to train them into war dogs. They'll almost certainly all die within a single invasion if we do, but it feels better from an ethical standpoint than having our kobbles just straight-up massacre an entire horde of dogs. For now though, we are going to cull a couple of them so that Kikli can finish her artifact. I have nothing against dogs but sometimes they do scare me. I don't know what it is, but when you look too hard at a dog's face, like really look too hard at a dog's face, it seems to activate this primal instinct of like "oh fuck. This is a beastie. It threatens my little monkey troop." But usually you can just keep looking and it will just be a friendly domestic dog. But you know, like, there's dingoes, which look just like normal dogs but are actually fucked up bastards that will maul you. In Australia they built a 3500 mile long fence to keep dingoes out of Queensland. If you take the highest possible estimate of the Great Wall of China's length, the Dingo Fence is just over a quarter as long. I don't know what that really means or if it has any implication, I just suddenly decided I really need to know how long the Dingo Fence is in comparison to the Great Wall of China. But you know, it really fucking makes you think!!!!!!!!!

Just as Kikli gets her hands... paws? claws? on the bones she needs to get started, we get yet another ratfolk snatcher in the fortress.

It survives for about 10 seconds once it gets into the fortress proper. Of course, ratfolk never seem to come just one at a time, so we'd better be ready for another attack. And since the spring is over, it seems like as good a time as any to set the military back to constant training.

Kikli's masterwork is... a single boot... depicting the coronation of a Winged One from many years ago. Not our current one, however. Right now, all I know about them is their name is Canr Adrmicala. I could pop into Legends mode eventually to try and find out what their deal is, but I'd like to save that until later. You know, when I inevitably end up "between fortresses."

But figuring it's best to put that off as long as possible, we take advantage of our burgeoning population and expand the military. This fort is quickly beginning to resemble the United States. Once we get some nobles moving in to start making absurd demands and having innocent people jailed for not playing along with their idiotic ideas of how the economy should work, we can start grilling all-pork-refuse hot dogs and shooting guns. Well, that noble thing actually does happen in the game. Hot dogs, someone would have to mod that in. Guns, same, but I'm almost certain that somewhere there is already a Dwarf Fortress mod that adds guns and I just didn't download it because my brain automatically went "that sounds stupid" as I glanced over it. I don't hate gun nerds or anything, I definitely have the kind of mechanical-focus autism that makes me enjoy them as a triumph of engineering. But 99% of the time someone starts talking about their guns, they are inevitably going to come off as an absolute psychopath or a total pussy (I apologize for using 'pussy' as a derogative here, I am a huge vagina fan, but I couldn't get any other word to land with the same impact.) I particularly appreciate the people out in rural areas that refuse to go to fucking Costco without their fucking Heater. "I need to be Strapped if I'm going to walk into a Wal-Mart. That situation could turn sideways real fast." You are the person that turns situations sideways you fucking freak! All I hear when people say that kind of thing is "if I got into a fight I would get my ass kicked and I do not have the humility to handle it, so I need my Kill People Button on me so that nobody messes with me." You're a fucking bitch! Maybe you do need that gun, because I could probably rip your arms into pieces like construction paper! Though I did grow up in a distant suburb, I have spent most of my life in "the bad part" of a major city that sheltered, TV-poisoned weirdos like to imagine is an active warzone, and I have never felt the need to walk around with a gun, because even though I am kind of an abrasive person with a mean face, I don't go around starting problems and I don't try to insert myself into problems when they happen around me. In a way, out in the suburbs kind of is more dangerous, because everyone is obsessed with their Castle Doctrines and gets almost no opportunities to verify or validate their idea of a consensus reality, isolated as they are in the series of lonely little boxes that comprise the alienated American life, so they just drive themselves more and more paranoid and insane (as cable news' profit margins demand of them) until they freak out and go Max Payne 3 on a fucking post office because another insane racist boomer on 4chan told them that "AliExpress is actually an LGBT666+(the + is an upside down cross) child trafficking operation and there's this new thing called communisexual," and yes I said racist, only the absolute fucking worst of them will admit it but of course they are all racist, the thing they are so scared of in my city and every city is that black and brown people just walk around in public like they're normal humans or something! Yes I do live in "the hood" and there's a fucking farmer's market every weekend. What I'm trying to say here is, well I don't know, I wouldn't call myself a Stalinist per se but when faced with an overwhelming amount of people who genuinely believe just awful and evil things who regularly fantasize about doing Righteous Violence, I start to get the idea of the "gulag," you know, I think a "re-education camp" is actually a nice compromise between "letting paranoid bigoted reactionaries run around making everyone else miserable and violently terrorizing marginalized people" and "just fucking killing them, just fucking executing them in the streets with firing squads."

The fortress gains a new handful of migrants, just six this time. Of more importance, however, is the plan to keep expanding the base. Deeper and deeper, until we hit sweet adamantite - the siren of the earth that sings all fortresses to ruin.

Deeper.

Deeper, still - but not before we break to collect the resources we uncovered in this shaft. Gold is gold, gems are gems, the earth bleeds bounties to the kobble that strikes it.

Deeper, still. Our advance is halted by the cavern opening up below the mine shaft, which is a good enough excuse to slow down for now. Two layers of cavern means twice as many attack vectors for forgotten beasts - though we'll be sure to close up the opening right away, of course.

Carefully notching out fortifications to look through in the perimeter seems to be the safest method to map these caverns - they've proved worthwhile before, at least against fire-spewing beasts. Black-cap and spore trees would be exciting additions to our wood stocks, but right now the risk involved in going out to cut them is just too high.

Even with all precautions taken, any party could always be your last party, so you simply must party whenever the opportunity arises. Even two of the new marksbold recruits managed to sneak away from training for a moment - "just grabbing some drinks," sure. Maybe one day they'll deeply regret it - if they had just that one last bit of training, maybe catastrophe could have been averted, or at least subdued. This could be what that song "How To Save A Life" is about. Is that even the name of that song? I don't know, I've only ever heard it due to acute FM radio exposure. I don't even know who plays it. Not gonna check either

Dwarves arrive, setting up nice and intrusive-thought-repellingly far from the bridge. For a relative pittance of gems, we take all the meat they have on offer (I will regret this,) some some extra steel armor and picks, and as a little token of appreciation we gift them a big handful of gold coins. Buy yourself something nice, kid.

They also get a front-row seat to see us setting up our first few catapults. These will ostensibly fire right through fortifications, and hopefully not bust through the ceiling or something - it seems to have worked before, in a different fort, anyway - and might be a smidge more forgiving than the ballista. And as we cut away more fortifications into the second cavern layer...

Bro what the fuck ???

Apparently, though I hadn't even noticed it, the first "crime heinous enough to require a Reaper" was committed. And Acl was not actually able to finish the criminal off with a single killing blow. Let's check the Justice tab to see what the crime was, and...

"Violation of production order" you'll fucking try to kill someone after that? Fuck me this fortress really is becoming America. What the fuck, lol.

She barely even just got here, hardly started training, and already has to go through this shit. I don't even remember what Alsrta wanted made, but Case was literally just hanging out doing what she was supposed to be doing. I expected the nobles with ridiculous demands to show up a lot later, but it seems we're perfectly capable of growing unreasonable authority-abusing freaks right here at home. The kobbles elect the Clan Leader, not the player, and it would obviously be terrible for everyone's mood to just straight up kill or expel her, but you know, accidents can always happen.

Shortage of patience yeah no fucking kidding. Actually, I've just thought of a fitting enough "punishment" for her.

There. You want to see someone stabbed for not making you a funny little hat or whatever, well you can walk right over and do it yourself. I'm like 300% sure this won't backfire on me. Well, whatever.

We've mapped the entire second cavern layer. And no sooner do we finish than we receive our second uninvited guest.

Yeah I really went all out on the MS Paint for that one. Poisonous gas seems like exactly the kind of thing that fortifications won't help against, but we'll really just have to see what develops.

It's like it's specifically getting in position for where we'd like to fire on it from. Of course, nothing can ever be too easy, so Acl picks right now of all times to be possessed and try to make an artifact. Maybe trying to kill that poor girl changed something in him. He also picked the farthest possible stoneworker's shop from all the stockpiles, so that'll put him out of commission for a good long while... I'm more worried about Acl, honestly. I have to wonder if I'm underestimating this big blind lobster. We'll see how it reacts to a few volleys of bolts.

fucks sake cunt would ya get back over here

It ignores a few missed bolts and just goes for a swim. As the marksbolds jump back and forth between fortified positions futilely trying to get a good shot on it, another wave of migrants shows up, bringing our population to 86 and thus reclassifying Rushsly as a "town."

I'd say I wished they understood the gravity of the situation, but it doesn't actually seem too grave at all. The lobster literally and figuratively can't even see us, has no way in, and is kind of just chilling.

Acl makes a wind horn (that's normally made out of bone...?) out of granite and dog leather. Imagine if your homie just came up to you one day after not talking to anyone for like, a week, and he was just like "Hey sorry about that. I got possessed by unknowable forces, so I had to make a flute out of broken bits of sidewalk pavement." Personally I would freak out, I would flip the fuck out and just go crazy. But I don't know. Maybe I wouldn't. Got to find somewhere to put this fucking thing now. But then, suddenly, from the first cavern layer:

OLM PEOPLE! They chase off Zhat Lovetwists (kind of horny name,) our hospital's diagnostician, who was down there seeking granite boulders to cut into blocks.

Luckily, she's agile enough to escape, and after fleeing unscathed she just... goes straight to sleep. I mean, okay. That's reasonable, I guess.

The small squadron of olm people cautiously advances, but our larger and far more deadly squadron of killer kobbles sets up position just outside the mine shaft. We cautiously open just one hatch to let them into the funnel, but......

I run out of images in this post so I have to leave it on a cliffhanger LOL my bad!!!!!!!!!!

[inbarfink]

Considering how Invader Zim episodes are usually totally standalone if not, like, outright contradictory to the ending of the previous one - it’s actually kinda amusing that the ending of ‘Rise of the Zitboy’

And the start of the next episode, ‘Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain’

actually kinda fit together perfectly...

#Hanazuki #DoesJohnDoesRedLineartOrOutlineGlows #JohnDoeGame #CoolIdea

I'm surprised there isn't a fanart where John Doe is a Hanazuki flower person since the character has red line art.

I wonder if John Doe's red lineart or outline glows?

I can see the doeballs or loose regular guys from Doe be like the hemkas.

And for the REALTORs having little baba yaga or just house shaped hemkas similar to the invader zim dog house.

Moonflowers are the species in the show. If I ever get a art trade I would love to see Maison Talo and Heim Balie as moonflowers using their seeds as their flowers.

I can see Maison Talo and Heim Balie as rainbow brite like villains with the whole fat guy and skinny guy trope.

Maybe have them steal treasures and food.

Brain Curd #206

Brain Curds are lightly edited daily writing - usually flash fiction and sometimes terrible on purpose.

It all started last Sunday, when I signed up for a most peculiar sweepstakes - “Be God for a Day!” A good friend of mine, Dietz, sent it to me late one night for a laugh as I was screwing around in The Sims. To play along, I signed up. One entry just for clicking on it, a few for following some social media accounts, nothing very difficult or suspicious. It was obviously not a scam, only a joke. If this ‘God’ really existed, He wouldn’t just throw around His powers like some kind of idiot, right?

I forgot all about it until this morning, when I woke up to see a letter sitting on my desk. It was unmarked and difficult to explain. My door was locked. No one should have been able to get in. I opened it and was informed that I had been randomly selected as the winner of the sweepstakes.

I scoffed. Dietz must have climbed through the window and planted it while I was sleeping. But I kept reading. It made a compelling case by listing facts only I could possibly know: the date of my first period (before my mom found out and bought me pads), the name of my first crush, even a detailed recount of my first time masturbating. It felt unnervingly invasive. Impossible for Dietz to have gotten right.

I fished around in the envelope and found a second page. At the bottom was a place to sign my name. I clicked a pen and nearly touched the tip to the paper but hesitated. If this was real, did I really want this sort of power, even for a day?

Yes.

Immediately upon lifting my pen from the page, I was beset by visions of everything, and I do mean everything, all at once, happening at every point on Earth. I observed every human being as they washed their hair, walked their dogs, fed farm animals, gambled, fucked, raped, murdered, tortured war prisoners. It was an unyielding deluge, a drowning baptism of sin. My head split with pain as my ears were attacked by a frequency higher than I’d ever heard before. I saw every color and smelled every odor and tasted every taste and then… nothing.

I was in the dark, now. Not warm, not cold. No indication I was still in my bedroom, let alone my body. Could I speak?

“Let there be light.”

And it was blinding.

“Let there be darkness!”

And the light dimmed. It was a small orb before me, glowing gently, breathing as I breathed. I knew I didn’t need to breathe, of course - perhaps it was only for the sake of the orb. I put myself into it and emerged on the other side. I recognized this place as the universe.

“Hello?” I yelled into it. “Any help? I’m new here, and I don’t know what to do.”

“There is no knowing,” a voice rumbled. “And there is little doing.”

“What does that mean?”

“If you search for meaning, you will be forever unsatisfied.”

“Can you just tell me how to get back to Earth?”

Without an answer, I was immediately back in my bedroom, staring at myself, frozen in place.

“If I press play, will the visions return?”

No response. The voice was dead silent. But it didn’t take a god to recognize that omniscient deities by definition must know all. There was no truth of this moment that was presently unavailable to me, but if I resumed time, it would surely bring with it another onslaught of horror upon my human mind. Yet if I didn’t, this day would never end.

What to do?

Please comment, reblog, like, and follow if you enjoyed- I'd love to know what you think! See you again tomorrow.

The huge number of people who are wandering them all and never buy anything but there are a bunch of people buying stuff today and there's a new game out it is like sokovia they want to raise a whole bunch of chunks of Earth and threatened to drop them down and cause earthquakes it's a very deadly threat it's a huge threat and it may collapse tunnels below we are starting to counter it and it's mostly morlock and they are expending tons and tons of themselves on it it is going to take it down another percent within 1 hour of the evacuation is on we are 6.5% roughly it's flowing and almost 40% literally there population is dropping very fast but the islands are growing both of them together about 11.5%

Are there fired half the fire department and half of the ambulance or else the same thing but no and they're going after the ambulance drivers they're being exceedingly hostile and grabbing people that don't need service and they're calling the police and saying get them out of here and they say they won't leave that their mental patients and the police are telling them to get out of there and if they don't they get arrested it's going on right now I was thinking these people they like dogs or programmed and that's what he said and respond to anything except brute Force

If I had the DPW public works water department sewer and electrical and it's a big electrical requirement of 50,000 people those people have all sorts of people that are stuck to them and all threatening and all we're sending orders and all these people are getting together and stuff and they're trying to get an invasion for us together today they're probably will have a humongous one eight points is starting to refill there's 400,000 octillion I won't be long now before they're all gone and what a bunch of boobs it's still wander around do this last night act like the brand new in town I don't know where this is I don't know where that is and the force of the people to it's so damned annoying

I have a couple other points sitting here drying out releasing the winnings for the scratch off because they're huge assholes okay that's why and the guy needs to be treated like he is he's a huge a****** and he's going to hate it these people can't take it at all they really need it they addition it out constantly and we're going to dish it back

Couple other things there is a giant giant force in the universe that is coming for these people and that would be us I can't stand these idiots anymore and either trashy clothes trashy faces crappy old dragging bodies and brains out of the way they're disgusting

Let me showing orders but there are a few more things happening that will make it happen how's it going after minority retarded people and they're a waste of damn time they're fighting over stupid s*** and trying to do Tommy F job for him and Garth is right out there out front being the biggest ass I'll tell you what I send nailed it right on the head and got it and said you're exposing Tommy f and that's not that's the job but you're not doing it on purpose they actually trying to work for him so he said this I can't stand what I'm hearing everyone's saying and that's what it is then he says so and then he says sorry doing it he says at least I tried and or exposed him people say try to do what if you succeed it's stupid and he says not really we would have to go in after him and it's not right no he is but to be nobody left so he's wrong so people are going after him because he's so dumb and it's working

And mac daddy feels very strongly about it he's not want to be sitting next to him in the hospital. You kind of give you and said how does this happen is staring at him saying this is what your friend is doing too so I know he hates me I'm a piece of crap what else can I be I have nowhere to turn this is going to blow up below as well as well that makes more sense but who cares about you going after all that it sort of got it

Couple more things the sheriff department is busy as hell you're bringing in tons and tons who are hired by the sheriffs who are fired there's still 100 left and they're overworked already and they're calling for reinforcements constantly now he's calling in groups just calling jobs in now it's big groups and they're big okay I mean big like millions of the time and they're going to defend the border and it's going to be a huge invasion attempt from the rest of Florida probably about 7 or 8,000 octillion an hour and he got tons of troops there and and they're moving out and tons are coming here and we are too. The invasion for us this time is probably going to be very very large and they're trying to get there to the South end of over across Russia and in massive numbers they haven't gone to the upper Midwest yet but we are going to place defenses the factory is about 300 miles north they noted that we're going to put some obelisk up right now several of them and a barrier and the big one what's going on right now it is a gigantic factory it's getting bigger and I'm pumping out tons of vehicles and they're moving huge numbers of them and we might feel half the orders by tomorrow but tomorrow is going to be the show and he wants to start a series of shows the smaller after tomorrow

And the returns are doing the retard s*** now I'm starting shouting and then be yelling cuz that's how the good stuff they say what an ass so it's going to take some time but it will work but there's a few more things happening the people who are selecting in punta Gorda I mean fire today the councilman in Port Charlotte are being fired it's really like 20 East location and they're being fired and won't be coming back after that we're going after people who work for the state representatives is there such assholes you smiles and talk and dancing and s*** is terrible it's like insults and weird laws they're kind of meaningless and just a pester people everybody here is retarded and see now and angry and what I'm doing it and get beat up by old people it's it's really really awful

More shortly the more luck are going after ships they're going up the holes they're building it up at 8 points your bases are being annihilated in the Eastern hemisphere and their ship building is halted they're evacuation zones are filling every half hour and they're taking only their stuff they actually taking it this time and they're leaving. They are also evacuating the Midwest and upper Midwest and leaving and abandoning practically everything and we are going after them we don't want them there and trumpsters were almost all eliminated yesterday and last night more shortly
