Earth. A blue and green paradise teaming with life both too small to see with the naked eye, all the way up to enormous creatures great enough to snuff out those very lives beneath them with a single step. Luscious forests and greenery spread out as far as the eye could see, running for miles and miles until meeting with its lover, the ocean - and there were so many different oceans, too! Some were blue and alive, and nourishing to the entire planet. Some were yellow; oceans of sand stretching out towards the horizon and beyond that still, until eventually stumbling upon an oasis. There were even some oceans, according to his books, that were bright red and bubbling hot, so much so that a single touch was enough to melt flesh and bone. Truly, Earth was Eden's glorious garden.

Once upon a time.

Dib gazed into the old photo album and turned the page wistfully, and he quickly lost himself in the images again. Having been just shy of three years old upon departing Earth his memories of his home world were fading fast, and all he had to remember it by were the pictures in his books, his father's photo albums, and one very fuzzy memory: In that, there was no green whatsoever, only concrete and smoke, and a burning-red sky.  He vaguely recalled an enormous crowd swarming like flies on the final slab of meat upon a carcass stripped of flesh, all so desperate to escape the fast rotting planet they themselves had helped to destroy. The people had poured in from all across America, Mexico, and beyond to try and find salvation. Professor Membrane's great invention was just one of but a handful of ships around the world capable of deep-space travel, and Dib could remember watching the people from the control room alongside his father and wailing baby sister; they were screaming and begging for a place upon the ship already stretched beyond its capacity. “Aren't we going to let them in, daddy...?” Dib had asked curiously, and he couldn't understand why Professor Membrane didn't answer him, nor why he was crying just as much as Gaz was as the ship lifted up from the Earth's soil one last time and took flight, leaving the dying world far behind them.

To this day, Dib still didn't understand it.

With a sigh he closed the album and looked out the window instead, to the real greenery outside infinitely more interesting than the flat pictures. Life aboard the Marina was the world that Dib knew and remembered, and now, his world was extending to a whole new plain of existence outside. When first the ship had landed upon the strange soils only a select handful of Membrane's most trusted advisors were permitted to leave the safety of the Marina to explore the vast forests and its diverse ecosystem; to take pictures and bring back precious samples for Professor Membrane to study: plant matter, fresh produce, the strange bones of creatures yet unknown . . . After many, many moons – so many moons in fact, that Dib had lost count – it was determined that the environment was a suitable biome for humanity's survivors. Fences had been erected all around the ship to create a vast compound, allowing people to venture outside whilst keeping them all safe from the unknown that lay beyond in the jungle. At nightfall curfew began, and no one was allowed to set foot outside for fear of the dark.

In Dib's opinion, this was the very best time to go outside and play.

He opened up the bedroom window and slipped easily outside into a nearby tree. The branches were strong and sturdy, and Dib climbed down like it was second nature. He gasped as his bare feet touched the dew-sodden grass, and he jumped a little on the spot both from the excitement, and the alien sensation he still wasn't used to. There was no grass aboard the Marina, after all. There were green houses and gardens where they grew food plentiful enough to feed their people – but there was no space to run around or explore. Not like this; not like it was in the strange new world.

Bubbling with enthusiasm Dib wandered along the edge of the fence, his hand trailing across the chain-links. The fence reached so high that he was pretty certain it could touch the sky – but clearly not, because it wasn't tall enough to keep the planet's creations from flying over, and sometimes into the compound. Enormous insects; creatures that looked like dragonflies and moths, and hornets even bigger than Professor Membrane himself. Terrifying, but equally so fascinating, and it made Dib wonder, what else is out there?

He gazed longingly through the fence and into the trees. Sometimes, in the dead of lonely night, he almost swore that he could see movement from within the foliage. He'd often find himself hours later still in the same place, his vision growing blurry where he'd been standing staring at the same spot for so long. There was no movement tonight so Dib kept on walking, making his steady way around the perimeter and towards the gardens. The planet's soils were rich with nutrients and happily allowed the seeds of Earth plants to take root. Alongside those, they were now growing a vast array of native fruits and vegetables of this world too. Dib's favourite were the bright pink berries swollen close to bursting with a rich, tart juice that left stains all over his lips, fingers, and everything he touched – but it was worth it. He grabbed a handful as he walked by and popped several into his mouth. He and Gaz liked them a lot, and had taken to calling them blorpberries, on account of the funny noise they made when Dib pushed them against the roof of his mouth, and they exploded over his tongue.

Snap!

Dib's head whipped up towards the fence. A flash of movement darted out from behind the trees, and the next thing he saw was a flurry of frantic motions. Something was digging outside the compound, scratch, scratch, scratching into the ground with a keen ferocity unlike anything Dib had seen before. In the light coming through the windows of the Marina, and the starlit sky dancing in worship around two giant moons, Dib could make out a long tail flaring amid the flying dirt, the tip and the base both crowned by a beautiful tuft of bright pink.

“Wow!” The gasp escaped Dib's lips before he could stop it, and all movement ceased in an instant. The tail stood completely still and erect. Then came another flash of movement as the creature leaped from its hole and into the forest cover. Dib froze in place, one hand clamped over his mouth to keep himself quiet. After a moment of nothing, a pair of bright eyes appeared from within the bushes and shone gloriously in the moonlight; unearthly pink, and utterly magnificent.

“ . . . Hello.” Dib lowered his hand slowly, and whispered just as gently. He saw the shrubs shift as the hidden creature flinched, its wondrous gaze drifting from Dib to the beginnings of its burrow, until Dib himself looked. The hole was situated right across from the gardens ripe with the blorpberries Dib loved so much. He made the connection instantly. “Oh! Are you hungry?” He grabbed a handful and tossed them through the fence. It was the feeble, clumsy throw of a seven-year-old bookworm, and only two landed within easy reach of the bush. Once they were swept away by a hand or tail almost too fast to see with the naked eye, the pink gaze returned, fixated upon the remaining berries out of its reach. Silence fell once more. Dib trembled with anticipation. Please . . . Please get them . . .

Slowly, inch by cautious inch, the creature began to emerge, and it was all Dib could do not to squeal in delight. He watched in silent awe, marveling at its brilliance. Green skin. Two black antennas. A long, strong tail like that of a monitor lizard; powerful, and deadly. It prowled the forest floor on all floors like it owned the place, snatching up the berries in its claws as it went by. And what claws! Three in total on each limb, and wickedly sharp, like that of an ancient dinosaur long since lost to time; they were the perfect tool and weapon both for a harsh life in the jungle. As it walked and ate it kept its eyes fixed suspiciously on Dib. Soon there were none left but for those still in the bush, and the creature sat in between the fence and the forest, its gaze continuously shifting between longing want at the fruit, to suspicious scrutiny at Dib.

“Hi there!” Dib whispered quietly, but his voice was so thick with excitement that he made the creature flinch backwards. “Oh, sorry!” He apologised, his tone dropping even lower in volume for the startled visitor frozen in place. Silence echoed once more as giant pink eyes remained fixated on Dib like lasers, as if trying to pierce through into his skull and see inside of his mind. As such, Dib focused in on a single thought, just in case the creature could indeed read his mind. I won't hurt you, I won't hurt you. Let's be friends.

The creature blinked, then leaped back into its hole and resumed the frantic dig. Dib sat back with his knees tucked to his chest, watching with fast growing anticipation. Dirt came flying from the hole; launched aside unneeded by the creature's immense tail. Soon, the ground beside him began to crumble inwards, opening up a fully-fledged tunnel from one side of the fence to the next. A pair of black antennas poked out first. They twitched. Twice, then the creature emerged from up the hole and shook the dirt from its body. Bright pink eyes soon found their way onto Dib again and held his gaze with ease. It was like gazing into a galaxy before his very eyes; a whole, wide new world lay within the swirling, starry light, and Dib was utterly captivated.

“Hello,” he smiled. “My name's Dib. What's yours?”

Little Hit of Serotonin:

Sometimes, feral pet Irkens make little noises that almost sound like that of Tribbles.

That sound often means they're wanting to get your attention or are just happy to see you. :3

[sillymuses]

//any au and any character you got on the brain, gimme the hcs for it :3c go hog wild

send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it

@sinshosted

//Tehehehe you get my entirely self-indulgent terrible true monster au that's been bubbling inside of me with no way out.

All of the monsters are chaotic evil by default but they're all united in that alignment so they're just one giant force of destroy everything in their path.

Some are pretty feral, but Draculaura stands as one of the more intelligent and typically takes a leadership role.

Clawdeen was a former human who allowed herself to be reborn as a werewolf monster and the other monsters only allowed it because they could sense such a darkness brewing inside of her.

Spectra serves as a spy here but is also extremely kill-happy. Probably gets paired off with Twyla for spying since they both work well with hiding and not being seen for information collecting.

Frankie's a stitched together mess of a body comprised of fallen beings that once fought the monsters and died. They figure out and build ways for the monsters to traverse through the world or beyond if need be.

REBLOGS PREFERRED OVER LIKES

[shadowbugtidbits]

A possible idea that I've been sitting on is "The Shadowbug Takeover" or "The Fall of the Empire".

Essentially, the Shadowbugs had enough of how they were treated by the Irken Empire and thus led a revolution. They started by assassinating the Tallest and then eventually destroyed the Control Brains, reverting the Irken species back to their most base instincts.

By some miracle and through the power of friendship, they succeeded in overthrowing the Irkens and assumed control of the entire empire.

The leaders of this new "Shadow Empire" mended relationships with races that were previously enslaved, giving them their rights back. This empire made some new allies, such as Earth. This new empire was non-hostile unless attacked first.

As for the now-feral Irkens, the Shadowbugs opted to domesticate them rather than eradicate them. Their main export to their allies were care supplies for the feral Irkens, as well as those bred to be kept as pets.

They retained the history of Irk in the archives, as well as brought much of their erased history to the forefront. This painted quite a different history of the planet, showing that Irkens and Shadowbugs co-existed peacefully both in their primordial days and under Miyuki's reign.

Since the fall of the Irken Empire, things were a lot different from that point forward.

ive been on a bit of an invader zim kick lately, so have some of my ocs!

styx has always been defective.

they managed to hide it just fine, and even managed to get a decent job as a gaurd on the armada.

that was until they were told to 'get rid of' a defective smeet. they couldnt bring themself to do it, so they took the smeet and ran, escaping to a desert planet with no one the wiser.

the pair started a new life, hiding their irken origins. life was difficult, but they survived. no one suspected that the strange, protective alien and their small, friendly pup were irken, and styx was going to keep it that way.

Feral Irken Care Tip #1:

Never, and I mean NEVER feed peppers or spicy foods of any kind to your domesticated Irken. The chemical that makes these things spicy (capsaicin) is very dangerous for them.

It can cause your Irken to be seriously injured in low amounts and it can even kill them in high amounts. Even smelling it can irritate their nasal cavity and antennas.

So, it's best to avoid feeding your domesticated Irken anything with capsaicin and keeping spices away from them altogether.

[paynomindtotheinsanity]

Will your story have the headcanon irkens have the go into heat? Or nah. I always enjoy that headcanon.

No, but Zim's sexual awakening might as well be just as intense as going into heat lol. The dude gets real feral for his Dib, and they're about to have two uninterrupted weeks of space travel together in a tiny ship, so... I'm sure you can see where this is going

[hermajestytak]

IZ Episode Idea: "The Primaling"

Zim learns in skool that humans evolved from monkeys and gets the idea to devolve humans back to primitive primapes with a planet-sized wave of energy. He builds a device in the middle of the jungle and sets it off remotely.

The problem is Zim thinks Irkens are so advanced that he's immune. He's wrong and realizes too late that when hit with his devolution ray, Irken bodies devolve into long tailed, disgusting, insectoid lizards with feral lizard-brains.

So it ends up being a race between Dib and Zim to the center of the giant ass jungle as they get progressively more feral.
