⚔️"A new realm? Let's explore it!" 🧱"Let's not."

A MULTIFANDOM, REGRETEVATOR-CENTRIC ASK BLOG, INTERACTIVE RP BLOG, COMIC BLOG AND DISCUSSION BLOG FOR MY REGRETEVATOR AU my main is @muntdane, which I share with my buddy Mint! You can also find me on twitter, among other places! You can call me Leon, Brutus, or whatever else you know me by! MULTI-MUSE, more characters will be introduced overtime (hopefully, lol.)

Posts will be either drawn or done in roblox studio Wallter was designed by my buddy Paramedic! However, just about every other design on this blog is made by me. Credits will be given where credit is due, though! this blog may feature violence, blood, and substance abuse

⚔️ and 🧱 used to differentiate between TOR (my regretevator OC) and Wallter! (and yes, you can use them as emoji pronouns too.) Wallter uses He/Any, TOR uses He/Him! OCs, other canon characters, other wallter blogs, and crossovers from other fandoms are welcome and encouraged to interact! this blog follows the Wallmark+Lampert family headcanon. more info under the cut!

BASIC PREMISE

TOR is a dynabloxian, an ancient robloxian race that had been presumed to have gone extinct for about as long as dinosaurs. In this multiverse, death of old age is not a thing, however, robloxians had an exceptionally large fighting culture back in the day that had wiped all dynabloxians out. Wallter is... also a dynabloxian, however he had been preserved in ice when he was rather young and had been uncovered by ro-bio scientists. As such, he is the only modern example of a dynabloxian in the current era. Watch what happens when TOR finds the second surviving member of his people! You can learn more about TOR's character here, and get a glimpse of his dialog here!

BOUNDARIES

Proship and Drama DNI

Will only do ship RP if I'm friends with you, obviously won't be canon to the story. sorry, I'm sensitive about romance so this is easier! That being said, there are heavy shipping aspects in-story, not just relating to wallmark! And, of course, shipping-related asks and fanart and headcanons is completely fine lol.

While I am 18, refrain from NSFW asks. I want the multiverse to be enjoyed by all audiences!

Suggestive fanart of my adult OCs is allowed, however, my friends OCs will be featured on this blog as well. Do NOT draw suggestive fanart of my friends OCs.

I am not comfortable with walllamp and woodlamp! Do not even make jokes about it. (DW, I know the family isn't canon.)

Magic anons are allowed, but I can ignore the magic anon for whatever reason I want. I'm also not going to collect anon emojis since I use emoji markers for characters, but feel free to mark yourself with an emoji anyways.

I am autistic, please elaborate if you are being serious about something! Please elaborate if you are in-character or out-of-character!

Do not attach flashing gifs to your interactions with me! :(

idw bumblebee and prowl shouldve broke up bcs he wouldnt stop 𝚊sking prowl to pause his report for just one lil astrosec so he can change his various pastel colored pens while making his cute little aesthetically pretty for no reason & very time - consuming notes with big colorful fonts & cute designs real quick

also another thought abt annoying ass bb trying to make running a literal planet cotteque so he doesn't go crazy bcs hes now a politician when all he ever wanted was to deliver mail & smile & wave at bots who call him cute ---

bee: 𝚠heeljack, im so sorry about this but do you mind repeating the time-stakingly long introduction, instruments, research references, modules, hypothesis, counter thesis, procedures, analysis, second - retrial, results, & explanation that you just spent 700000 earth hours saying because i was busy drawing a cute little bee in the corner of my notes please :] ?

wheeljack:

idw bee trying to run a planet that fucking hates him is just rlly funny to me, especially since everyone views bee as the goody character who everyone loves & he views himself as that & then they finally win this consuming war & he can reap his rewards of being loved without holding a gun & no one fucking likes him. hes even getting on his own old team's nerves & not in the loveable scamp way but the get the fuck out of my face way

GRAHH THANK U FOR ANNOYING ME (lovingly) I LOVE IT WHEN I GET ASKS AAAAAA and im doing well <3 i hope you are too!!

ivy ⇢ what are your ‘tells’ for your emotions and moods? how can someone tell you’re happy, annoyed, upset or tired?

okay so i had to ask my friends for this q bc i actually dont know LMSADOSAOD SO HERE: happy - when i giggle/cackle/laugh and yap a lot irritated/annoyed/upset/angry - whenever my voice goes stern and i become direct and whenever i get really passionate about that topic (or person LMASDAO). basically when i yap with reason tired: - when i become silent and just listen instead of yap bonus: dejected (my favourite big boy word) - whenever they see tears in my eyes or when i become less energetic. they can also tell when i brush it off like its nothing/make a joke out of it LMDOASDO

papyrus ⇢ if you put your ‘on repeat’ playlist on shuffle, what’s the first song that comes up? what do you like about it / associate it with?

japanese pancakes by fran vasilic!! - ok so to be honest i had to search the meaning of this song bc im actually SUPER DUPER bad w song analyzation 😭😭😭 BUTTT i love how its main theme is the journey to self-discovery and acceptance. and as someone who's very young, i have yet to accept myself for who i am; the struggle to see my flaws as my sunshine, and frustrations/challenges/problems in life as stepping stones to truly understanding my self prove to be difficult, but i believe with enough faith and time, i'll be able to reach that point of self-acceptance :D

mahonia ⇢ what place, thing, activity inspires you most and how do you express yourself when it does?

for this i guess in a place where there are people who have excelled more than i have HUSADAUSHD - not sure why but ig seeing people who are better than me inspire me to do better than them HUDHASUDH

abelia ⇢ do you have a particular piece of jewelry you always wear or can’t part with?

earrings! i dont really have a specific pair of earrings that i cant let go of/not wear bc i change them from time to time HUSADUAHD but ofc every pair is dear to me as theyre either gifts from relatives or my mom >:D

AAAAAA THANK YOU SM FOR THESEE HUASHDUYAHDS

vash 2 me would love wearing makeup and dresses occasionally. but usually like. like he loves doing makeovers with friends as a girls night kinda thang. he loves letting a group of children attempt to braid his hair and paint his nails. its like a social thing for him. he would love doing drag performances. but i dont think he would really care for it just like, for himself. like i cant really see him putting on makeup by himself in the morning. like i said its more of a social thing, he uses it to bond with others, ie makeovers and such. he only learns how to do decent makeup so he can participate in these social events. grah imagining younger vash seeing a group of young women talking about makeup together and he very shyly asks if they could maybe help him learn? and they all get SO excited, invite him to one of their houses and they all sit in a circle showing him the basics and giving him advice and letting him practice on them for the night. and hes SO happy, cause not only did he get to befriend these nice strangers, but also now he has this knowledge that he can use in the future to befriend MORE people. grahh i just think about vash being invited to girls nights so so much he's an honorary girl. esp for meryl and milly. m&m and vash having a girls night one day, hanging out in m&m's hotel room with face masks and snacks and painting eachother's nails. wolfwood knocking on the door looking for vash and seeing them all like this. he makes fun of them a little but u can tell his heart isnt in it and hes actually a little hurt that he didnt get invited. milly excitedly asks mr priest, would you like to join us? youre always welcome to! and he thinks he should decline and go find something else to do for the night but all three of them are looking at him hopefully with their big puppy eyes so he sighs and goes alright alright. lemme in here. meryl paints his nails black with little fancy white crosses on his middle fingers and he ends up liking it so much he keeps borrowing her black nail polish all the time, until one day she gives him a brand new bottle and tells him to keep it, for whenever theyre not traveling together. vash and milly do his makeup and at first he's kinda huffy and tells them not to make him look like a clown, expecting them to go nuts with it. but then when theyre done he sees himself in the mirror with just some lip gloss, mascara and eyeliner and hes like wait a minute. this is actually pretty good... basically m&m plus vash introducing ww to the wonderful world of being low-effort gnc and changing his life. although i do think when he was a kiddo he totally let the girls at hopeland give him makeovers, but he acted all huffy about it cause he thought he was supposed to. but really he just loved how happy it made them so he never put up TOO much of a fight when they would ask. n when m&m plus vash invite him into their girls night it reminds him so much of his sisters at hopeland doing the same to him and it makes him kinda nostalgic and fond. and hes happy that even though he cant see his old family and he misses them like crazy, hes thankful that hes got a new little family with him right here. ok this got away from me big time but its okay you all already know im insane and love to ramble. okay

[6okuto]

sorry sorry I absolutely LOVE your works and I am SCREAMING AT YOUR THEME AND PROFILE PIC LIKE AAAHHH ??

like omg a fellow Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku fan omg screaming 😞😞 I swear I squealed seeing Christmas version kaoruko as your pfp !! so if you don't mind answering, what's your fav character from it?

(trying to spread rintaro love around here, he's perfect and I love him, and kaoruko, and his friends, and his family, god the whole fucking cast)

OMFG. UGET ME?! YOUUUFBDJGBH kaoruko.. :( she's so cutesie shes just a girl i love her so much... as for fav chara... in general it's kind of rare for me to not have a fave chara + for romances it's always Easily the main girl/couple. but like,, i rlly love everybody so bad. this shit was made for me. but. i think. Ok. I think it'd have to be like... rin + kaoruko >=? rin's family + subaru + natsusawa >? usami yorita madoka etc

>=? is a questionable greater than symbol because they feel quite equal at the end of the day like. Everybody growing and learning to open up and caring for each other no matter the love and warmth the self doubt and blame and forgiveness and acceptance like the friend group is my lockscreen i love them . this is peak nia luvring core bro

i seriously love rin and kaoruko. RIN. i'm so attached to this guy he's perfect he's sooo so sweet and whenever he blames himself for things i feel like throwing up GET BEHIND ME :( he's opened up a lot but he's always been so kind and i'm so happy he's found such great friends 😭😭 ohmgmkdgn. kaoruko. come on. < girl who likes tohru and yuki like let's be serious. she loves her friends so much and works so hard and tries not to worry people but she deserves to be cared for like ohmyfogdopela?!$! also she's soo cutieful i love all her hairstyles and outfits omg. And like.. their relationship is so nice... i love the way it happened and how they want to be better and love each other and get nervous abt compliments and stuff and. oh man. i'm nauseous i love u guys so bad

the mangaka does so well fleshing everyone out and... rin + kaoruko's relationship just feels so genuine and warm i feel like i'm going to explode but really truly Every relationship is soo important. i love the whole cast u don't know how much i just cut out of this answer because i was rambling FSBGJDHBG like i'm going to throw up i just want everyone to be happy...mannn... in a way their problems are similar as young students but they're still distinct and instead of being like Damn another backstory i'm always like YEAAASS!!! like i'm excited to see how they deal w their schools as a group but i'm happy with learning about everyone y'know. GRAHH! i love u kaoru hana wa rin to saku. i wish i knew how to shorten its name. its jpn and eng names r both long i cant breathe

[skybristle]

ok so this is stolen from dms with a friend so the formattings a lil weird but

I think that while magnolia isn't. hot-headed or anything she learned how to healthily express her emotions even if esp in her current situation she can't get rid of them. carrow is a lot more level-headed and chill but that's because she's severely emotionally constipated and is about to have a Fucking Wake Up Call once she finally breaks down

Carrow spends months free to the wild but still comes back the same. she cannot let herself go for a moment even without a role to follow and a deeply traumatizing event. she shows up her same old self and in a way magnolia finds it deeply disturbing. carrow just. doesn't confront the emotional turmoil she was going through at all because it's irrelevant. she has a job to do. she's a workhorse and damn good at it but is also not,,, overworked or anything. she just. she can't ever get out of work mode besides being vulnerable with magnolia, but she Can't have that in her exile so she just. doesn't ever put herself in a state where she can even begin to think about it. even if she's hurting

tlde she's megaaa fucked and magnolia is in an oppisate place where. she's so emotional and cannot fit in anymore but is boxing herself in because she has to keep watching, has to stay alert. she can't express herself as an outsider to the citadel without being able to leave to have anyone to talk to and the only outlet she can find is laying down in bed so depressed she misses her patrols and can't even carve. she cuts her hand deep while frustratedly getting nowhere and just throws her stuff to the side and lays it over the stone to bleed itself out. it doesn't matter. she's so angry and wants to shout it to the rooftops and get it out of her system but there's no option

even when her anger hits its fever pitch and she kills that purple cunt all she can do is rip the knife out and comment on how it's a waste of a good blade. she's so emotionally exhausted because her healthy expression has been pushed to its breaking point

I think they both need that time away from everythjng.. carrow is soul-searching and looking for the truth more blatantly but magnolia really needs it too

especially since wisteria has her hands full with sjs

Also like. magnolia didn't really know wisteria was a God either even if it isn't neatly as harmful as the realization carrow had [magnolia is mostly indifferent but it still doesn't feel great to have the truth obscured especially struggling with magic sensitivity and not being able to explain how her mother felt different to even cacaos soul jam, even if wisty was in a very weakened state]. so having carrow here as they can both detach and chill is very nice

maybe they deserve to have a silly snowball fight like they did when they were children again. as a trest

Idk. I think a lot about the dichotomy of magnolias lack of loyalty to anyone and carrows overwhelming blind following of her king which shephards her right into the serpents jaws. they both just want to do good. carrow did everything her society expected of her and took the bullet for it. as soon as she got in the way of who had the kings favor [read: drugging and cursing tf out of cacao, but she doesn't fully know that] she can be thrown out. and magnolia suffers becayse she can't be loyal. she has no place here and can not be heard even when she can see the wolf in the sheep's clothing. like. ARGGGGHHH PARRELELS AND FOILS WHO COMPLIMENT EACHOTHER AND ARE IN LOVE GRAHH

Thinking about how magnolia teases her because she was raised very practically and the one time carrow tried to cook for them to be nice she just stuck it over the fire until jt was done. I like to imagine the little dangly thing on her belt is a spice container magnolia carved for her as a 'kinda passive aggressive but also I love you and made this ejth my hands to remedy the problem' type of way

magnolia conked tf out all cosy in bed and carrow just sighs, sweeps aside the wood shavings and gets comfy with her. rises at dawn and proceeds to spend 10 minutes getting magnolia off her /lh

omg i should throw some of my incoherent and slightly out of context carnolia ramblings on here

[krizaland]

I’m sorry if I’m bothering you but I just love your work!! But can you imagine that instead of y/n and dib getting stuck in the Zimvoid, zim and dib would be stuck in a y/n-void? Again, sorry if I’m bothering you, I love your work, keep it up!!

I LOVE IT!! LET’S DO IT!!!

Be warned: There are obsessive and creepy behaviors ahead. While there won’t be anything sexual in my story, things still may get disturbing.

Here’s the original song I used but be warned it’s nsfw. Because of this some of the lyrics have been changed.

The day you went missing was the day Zim and Dib finally put their differences aside to track you down.

However, where they ended up made their jaws drop and their hearts flutter.

They had somehow ended up on a planet full of copies of you!

There were versions of you of all shapes, sizes and even species!

Luckily Zim had a sample of your DNA so at least he could the you from his timeline.

“Ok, we need a plan to save our Y/N! We-”

Dib was cut off by a very excited GIR.

“OOH! OOH! I HAVE AN IDEA!”

And with that, GIR went running off into a group of yous before Zim could even try to stop him.

“HEY! Are you my Unicorn?!” GIR asked a you with fairy wings.

“No. I’m not a unicorn and I don’t even know who you are.” The you huffed as they folded their arms.

“Okie dokie!” GIR giggled as he walked off to another you wearing a pirate costume.

“Are you my Unicorn?”

“No. I am no Unicorn, landlubber!  I be Captain Y/N! The fiercest space pirate that ever roamed the galaxies!” The you announced dramatically.

“Ooh! Ok! Bye!”

And with that, GIR trotted off to a random pipe.

“Hey! Are you my Unicorn?”

The pipe said nothing as it sat on the ground.

“That’s ok take your time.” GIR reassured as he patted the pipe.

“GRAHH! GIR! Looks like I’ll have deal with him later. Right now I need to focus on my sweet Y/N!” Zim growled as he dragged a hand down his face.

“Well like I said, we need a plan! Do you have any ideas?” Dib groaned as he folded his arms.

“Of course I do! Zim always has a plan! ALWAYS!” Zim declared as he pointed to the sky.

“Ok, so what’s the plan, spaceboy?”

“The plan is…Uh…Um…”

“Seriously?! You don’t have any ideas at all?!” Dib interjected.

“OF COURSE I HAVE IDEAS! My plans are so amazing that your inferior human mind can’t comprehend them!” Zim lied as he snapped a finger in Dib’s face.

“Hey, if you boys are done fighting, I think I might be able to help.”

Dib and Zim whipped around and their jaws dropped.

What stood before them was an Irken you!

“Surprise! It’s another Y/N! The others call me Zoom though.” Zoom giggled as they gave a wink.

“Why do they call you, Zoom?” Dib asked as he rubbed the back of his he raised a brow.

“Because it sounds like a combination of Zim and doom so they other Y/Ns thought it was cute.” Zoom explained casually.

Zim’s PAK sparked a bit as he fought back the urge to stare into your F/C eyes.

Remembering how beautiful his you looked, Zim shook away his infatuation and cleared his throat.

“Yes, yes. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Zoom-Y/N  but the Dib-monkey and I are searching for our Y/N. So just…run along now or whatever”

“Well, you’re gonna need someone to help you navigate this hellhole if you want to find them! So are you gonna except my help or not?” Zoom huffed as they put their hands on their hips.

“Ugh! Fine! Do you have any ideas?” Zim pouted as he folded his arms.

“I sure do! Follow me! I’ll take you back to the rebel camp where we can explain everything to you two!”

And with that, Zoom led Zim and Dib to the rebel camp.

There were tons of Y/Ns at the camp but none seemed to be human.

“Welcome to the rebel Y/N camp! Here you’ll find all the Y/Ns who don’t want to take orders from the cruel demon that trapped us here!” Zoom explained as they gestured to the camp.

“Wait, are all these Y/Ns not…human?” Dib asked as he looked around.

“Yup! Apparently his ‘royal majesty’ only likes human Y/Ns! Anyone who isn’t human is thrown here, to the dumps!” Zoom grumbled as they gestured for Zim and Dib to keep going.

Eventually, Zoom stopped before an Elderly Y/N who looked like a moth creature.

“You won’t believe what I found, Elder! A Zim and a Dib!” Zoom chirped as they gestured to Zim and Dib.

“We’ll I’ll be! I can’t believe you two actually made it here!” The Elder crooned as they leaned in closer.

“Can you please explain to us what’s going on now?” Dib asked as he raised his hand.

“Right! Of course! You poor boys must be so confused! Gather around and I’ll tell you the tale of how our horrible society came to be.”

And with that Zim and Dib plopped down before The Elder as they spun their tale.

A you with glowing eyes was led into Zib’s castle where he stood in the doorway waiting to greet them.

“It’s another night, with Y/Ns coming to see me. Such a pretty sight, waiting there for me.” Zib sang as he slowly emerged from the shadows.

The glowing eyed you gasped and tried to leave-

SLAM!

The door shut behind them as Zib carefully took their hand in his and pulled them close.

“Smiling away, what you do like any other day. Take me by the hand, let’s dance the night astray.” Zib sang as he pulled the glowing eyed you into a tight hug.

“He stole what was mine, so I took his life from him. All the power he had, lives on within me.”  Zib chuckled as he remembered how he defeated Zim and stole his PAK.

“Look into my eyes, This will make you listen really easy.”  Zib sang as he attached a blue collar around the glowing eyed you’s neck.

ZAP!

“Look into my eyes”

A bright blue haze clouded the you’s glowing eyes as they gazed into Zib’s yellowed ones

“Taken my surprise, you’ve fallen enchanted.” Zib smirked as he kissed the top of their head.

“A stolen PAK that’s fused to him, gave him the power to control us.” Sang the glowing eyed you as they stood next to Zib’s throne wearing blue robes.

“He wants to lure every Y/N to his castle, just to feel loved.” Sang a you with F/C skin and matching robes.

“Bringing us one by one he chose the fairest Y/N and we gave him all our trust.” Sang the glowing eyed you.

“He’s building up his harem!” Sang the F/C skinned you.

“Brainwashed by my special collars, they finally love me! Devotion in every word they say, I know they’ll stay.” Zib sang as he stroked the glowing eyed you’s head.

“Their fates are set, From their blood to their sweat they all belong to me!  Just as long as their eyes shine a blue hue!”  Zib wrapped his hands around the F/C skinned you’s tightly.

“Once my plans progress to get these Y/Ns in my grasp. Never nonetheless, these’s no use to escape from my madness!” Zib cackled as he threw his arms into the air.

“OH! AUGH! EW!! You’re telling me some DISGUSTING Dib-Monster has my sweet Y/N?!”

“Not just your Y/N, he has countless Y/Ns and if this keeps up, every Y/N in the multiverse will be trapped here!” The Elder warned.

Zim and Dib gasped in unison as the Elder continued the story.

“Fragments of my past, I would like to burn them all away! Throw away my shame! And let it decay!” Zib sang as he burned pictures of his former self.

You stood beside him and watched the flames devour the photos.

“I want to forget, the person that I used to be. People used to laugh, and make fun of me!”

You gently put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look.

Zib’s eyes lit up the moment your hand touched his shoulder.

“Took them by the hands, as I told them, my sweet and simple plan.” Zib sang as he pulled you close to him.

Zib dipped you down and pulled you into a passionate kiss!

“Giving them a kiss was my only wish!”  Zib sang as he parted for air.

“You look just like the one, my friend since we were both so young. All you did was laugh and make fool of me!” Zib sniffled as he gripped your wrists tighter.

“Day by day, plenty of Y/Ns came to him from all over the multiverse.” You sang as you rested your head on his shoulder.

“One by one, all of us got lost as his evil plans got worse.” Sang an extremely tall you.

“Y/Ns got in entranced by him and soon lost their memories too!” You sang as you held one of Zib’s hands.

“Soon we didn’t even know what do to!” Sang the extremely tall you.

“My longing growing in darkness makes me desire more!  Infinitely, obsession spreading, without an ending!” Zib sang as he pulled you into his lap.

“Real or Trick? I’ll make you stick no matter how hard you try to leave! Deep and strong we’re making Zims cry and bleed! “ Zib sang as he pulled the extremely tall you back in place.

“Hating Zims and stealing the love of their angels. I’m the king of the night, it’s the madness that always felt right!” Zib sang as he kissed the top of your head.

“MADNESS! WE NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS AT ONCE!!” Zim screeched as he grasped the sides of his head.

“I never thought I’d say this but Zim’s right! We can’t let that weird Zim..Dib hybrid get away with this!” Dib agreed as he pointed to the sky.

“That’s why I brought you two here so we can discuss a-”

“WAIT! I HAVE A PLAN! Yes…An ingenious plan…” Zim interjected as he rubbed his hands together.

“Ok, I do not like that look on your face.” Dib muttered as he backed away from Zim.

“Zoom-Y/N! Do you still have access to some of your tech?” Zim asked as he turned his attention to Zoom.

“I think so. Why? What do you plan on doing with it?” Zoom asked as they checked their PAK.

“You’ll see…You’ll see…”

Within a few moments, Zim and Dib were dressed exactly like you.

“Really Zim?! This is your plan?! This never gonna work!” Dib whined as he gestured to his poorly constructed costume.

“Nonsense! Of course it will work! Zim is a master of disguise! Now hurry! Let’s retrieve Y/N before that REVOLTING DIB-WORM gets his Dib filth all over them!” Zim urged as he curled his fingers in front of his face.

“Are you kidding me?! Zim these disguises are total dookie! There’s no way anyone’s gonna be convinced by these!” Dib whined as he tugged on his disguise.

“OOH! Are you my unicorn?” GIR asked as he skipped over to Dib.

“No. I’m Dib.” Dib replied as he raised a brow.

“Ok! Are you my unicorn?” GIR asked as he turned his attention to Zim.

“No. It’s me GIR. See?” Zim chuckled as he lifted off a part of his disguise.

“Oh! Hi master!” GIR chirped with a wave.

“See? Flawless disguises! No let’s get going already!”

Dib wanted to protest but he didn’t want to keep you waiting either.

“Wait! I’m coming with you guys!” Zoom insisted as they ran after Zim and Dib.

“If those guys can’t help us I don’t know who can.” The Elder sighed as they shook their head.

After a long and grueling journey, Zim, Dib, and Zoom finally made it to Zib’s castle.

“Looks like you boys are on your own from here! Are you sure your ready?” Zoom asked softly.

“Well actually-”

“OF COURSE WE ARE!” Zim interjected.

“Alright. Good luck! I’m going to see if I can find a way to send everyone back to their home timelines.”

And with that, Zoom rushed off to search for a way to send the Y/Ns home.

Zim took in a deep breath and knocked on the door.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

CREAK!

The door slowly opened as a familiar voice echoed from within:

“Come in my sweets~”

Zim and Dib carefully made their way into Zb’s castle.

SLAM!

The door slammed behind them as Zib emerged from the shadows.

“Well, Well what have we here?”

“Um, just two lost Y/Ns…” Dib giggled as he tried to imitate your voice.

Yes, I can see that. Come closer will you? I don’t bite.” Zib chuckled as he motioned for Dib to come closer.

Dib swallowed hard as he carefully approached Zib.

Zib chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Dib’s waist.

“Typical, Y/N. Always so tense…You know you really don’t have to-ACK!”

CLANG!

Zib was cut off by Zim smacking him upside the head with one of his weapons.

“Let’s go find our Y/N!” Zim growled as he dragged Dib along.

It didn’t take long for Zim and Dib to find you.

“Y/N!” Zim and Dib exclaimed in unison.

“We are all Y/N here….” Your voice was cold and robotic as you stared up at them with hazy blue eyes.

“Y-Y/N! What happened to you?!” Dib yelped.

“WHAT HAS THAT AWFUL DIB DONE TO YOU?!” Zim demanded as he shook your shoulders.

“He is not awful. He has opened my eyes and now I am free….” You responded as your eyelids lowered.

“NO! Y/N! SNAP OUT OF IT! JUST- Eh?” Zim suddenly noticed the bright blue collar wrapped around your neck.

“What’s- AH HA! THIS MUST BE WHY YOU’RE ACTING ALL WEIRD AND STUFF!”

Before you could protest, Zim pulled out a small laser from his PAK

ZAP!

CRACK!

CLANG!

With one swift cut, you were freed from your collar as it clattered to the ground.

The blue haze faded from your eyes as they returned to their normal color.

“Urgh…What happened?” You groaned.

“Y/N! YOU’RE BACK TO YOUR OLD SELF!” Zim cheered as he pulled you into a tight hug.

“I never thought I’d say this but…You did it Zim..” Dib admitted as he rubbed his arm.

“Yes! Yes I did! I AM ZIM! Now let’s free all the other Y/Ns before that VILE Dib-thing wakes up”

And with that, You, Zim and Dib went around the castle and freed every single version of you.

“I think that was the last of em.” Zim panted as another collar clattered to the ground.

“Great job guys! Now we can get out of here!” You chuckled as you pulled Zim and Dib into a hug.

Zim and Dib giggled as they melted into your embrace.

Once you released them they composed themselves and prepared to leave.  You, Zim, and Dib were just inches away from the door when-

“Not so fast!”

All three of you whipped around to find Zib glaring daggers at Zim and Dib.

“You didn’t really think I’d let you leave here with all of my beloved Y/Ns did you?” Zib growled as he drew closer.

“It’s over you..Zib creature you! All of the Y/Ns have been freed!” Dib stuttered as he put his hands on his hips.

“Don’t call me by that name. And I’ll have you know that all of the Y/Ns are HUH?!”

Zib’s eyes nearly burst out of his cracked glasses!

All of the Y/Ns were running out of the castle!

“Guards! Guards! Stop them!” Zib pleaded but he was too late, for every last Y/N had left the castle.

“N-No…No! No!!!!!!” Zib wailed as he clutched the sides of his head.

“Well, looks like it’s time for us to leave now!” Dib stuttered as he tried to guide you out of the castle.

FWIP!

You, Zim, and Dib were captured in a massive mechanical tentacle.

“None of you are going anywhere! You may have chased off my harem but I still have the most beautiful Y/N of them all and I refuse to ever let them leave my side!” Zib seethed as he stormed closer.

BOOM!

Zim had squeezed out a blaster from his PAK and blasted you and Dib free.

“Hurry! We don’t have much time!”

And with that, Zim grabbed your hand and rushed you out the door.

“Wait for me!!!” Dib cried as he ran after you and Zim.

“WAIT! NO!! YOU CAN’T TAKE THEM FROM ME-ACK!”

THUD!

The remains of the tentacle fell on top of Zib.

“N-No!! Y/N! Wait! I didn’t even get to tell you I loved you….”

“Geez. What a creep. Are you alright, Y/N?” Zim asked as he took off his disguise.

“Yeah, I think so. My head hurts though.” You sighed as you rubbed your head.

“Well hopefully we can fix that when we get you home.” Zim kissed your cheek as he let you back to the Voot Cruiser.

“Wait! What about the other mes?” You asked as you climbed in.

“Don’t worry about them! I’ve already taken care of it!” Zoom reassured as they zipped over to you.

“Really? What did you do, Irken-me?” You asked as you peeked over at Zoom.

“I found this Dimensional Zapper thingy and reprogramed it.” Zoom explained nonchalantly.

“Oh that makes sense.”

“Well. It was nice working with you, Zoom-Y/N. Now it’s time for us to part ways!” Zim announced as he started up the Voot.

“Wait! Are you my unicorn?!” GIR asked as he hopped into your lap.

“Yes. Yes. I am.” You chuckled as you patted GIR’s head.

“Yay!!” And with that, Zim closed the Voot and flew off.

Dib hopped into Tak’s ship and followed suit.

You were the last Y/N to go, leaving Zib all alone.

“No! Please don’t go…”

Let’s Sneak In! 24 Hours of Edel Rose (a King of Prism short story)

Translator’s notes: This is from 2D☆STAR vol. 4 and it’s a first movie era story from June 2016, but I didn’t get to read it until much later when it was re-printed in the Ready Sparking Fanbook. But man I wish I had read it when it was first printed. It contains so much information which I didn’t know until at least Prism Rush, and which casual fans probably never knew at all until SSS. It just goes to show you, even though certain details took a long time to reach the main series, the characters have basically always been the same ever since the very beginning. For example, Kakeru’s room (shown in the bonus theatrical video) and his pajamas as they appear in SSS are exactly how they were described in this story which was printed YEARS before. 

Since I only have the re-print of this and not the original magazine, I am unaware if there was ever any illustration for this. If you have it, please share! 

Synopsis: Shin cannot suppress his gay thoughts when watching the other SePTENTRION members sleeping. 

The time was 2:00 am. Shin stood before the Edel Rose dormitory. 

Shin: Shhh.... Good evening everyone. It’s Edel Rose’s Shin Ichijo, 3rd year student at Kakyoin Academy Junior High Division. Tonight I’ll be sneaking you into the Edel Rose dormitory for a special report. Everyone, please make sure to keep quiet so that nobody wakes up.... 

Crossing the entrance way, Shin entered the building. 

Shin: Woooah! It’s... a ghost!! ...Oh, it’s just Norizuki-san... S... Shhh be quiet.... 

Shin had become startled by the large face which had appeared in the darkness. It was the portrait which hung on the second floor at the top of the stairs in the lobby.

Shin: Ah... that surprised me.. Um... Well, this here is the founder of the Edel Rose prism star training school, Kou Norizuki! He was also the chairman of the board at the Edel Rose foundation, which opened my school Kakyoin Academy, the Lu Seriana Academy which Bell Rose’s Bell Renjoji goes to, and many other prism show schools all over the country. He was also the president of the Prism Show Association! But, I’m sad to say, he passed away last year...

But! He was a great person responsible for many Prism Kings and Queens! I heard he was the one who scouted Hiro Hayami as well! He’s even the father of Jin Norizuki, who is the big cheese over at Schwarz Rose! What an amazing person he was. 

Shin climbed to the second floor. 

Shin: Now, shall we sneak into the rooms of some of our members? I’ll show an exclusive peek of their sleeping faces to all you viewers at home! Let’s start with Yukinojo-san’s room...

As Shin opened the door a Japanese-style rope curtain hung down. 

Shin: Excuse me for entering... Yukinojo-san is a 1st year student in senior high school, one year above me. In the kabuki world he’s known as “the princess of the kabuki world” or “the female prince”. Right now he’s a rising star with a lot of promise for his future. 

Shin very gingerly approached Yukionojo’s bed and peered down at Yukinojo’s sleeping face.

Shin: Oh good... He’s fast asleep.... 

Shin relaxed a bit and found himself free to look around the room. 

Shin: Wow... Everyone, look at this. His room is all decorated in Japanese-style. Ah, there’s such a big vanity mirror. There are a lot of makeup products and hairpins here. Japanese clothing is hung on the wall... And wow.... it smells so nice in here.... What’s this smell? It’s...  camellia oil. I wonder if he uses it like cologne? 

Shin peeked into the shelf near Yukinojo’s desk. 

Shin: Ah, it’s full of CDs! ....But this is surprising! It’s filled with music by American and British hard rock bands! Wow, so this is what Yukinojo-san listens to in his private time...

Shin turned back to Yukinojo’s bed. 

Shin: Now everyone, it’s what you’ve all been waiting for. The pajama reveal!

Shin quickly pulled away Yukinojo’s sheets. 

Shin: Huah! 

Shin was taken aback by Yukinojo’s beautiful sleeping face and lily white skin. 

Shin: Wow... Yukinojo-san.... He really is pretty... Ah! I’m sorry everyone! I’ll get on with the report! Yukinojo-san sleeps in a yukata. His face while sleeping... is very beautiful. His yukata is sliding off... I should fix it for him... 

Shin could not take his eyes off the beautiful nape of Yukinojo’s neck. 

Yukinojo: ... Mm.... Mmmph.....

Yukinojo was beginning to wake up. 

Shin: Uh-oh! L-Let’s move on! 

Quickly leaving Yukinojo’s room behind, Shin headed to the next room. 

Shin: The next room is Taiga-kun’s. Taiga-kun is a 3rd year student in junior high school like me. His specialty is street-style prism shows. Excuse me for entering... Woah! 

Taiga had rolled out of his bed and was sleeping on the floor. 

Taiga: Zzzz.... Zzz......

Shin: T... Taiga-kun... His right foot is still in bed but he’s sleeping on the floor.... But he’s dead asleep... Well, let’s get straight to checking his pajamas then... He’s wearing a tank top and boxer trunks. I wonder if he’s cold not sleeping in proper pajamas? 

Taiga: Take it... off..... 

Without warning Taiga threw off his tank top. And then his hands moved down to his boxers... 

Shin: Ahh! This is bad! 

Shin quickly threw a blanket over Taiga. 

Shin: Phew... That was close... But Taiga-kun’s really lucky he doesn’t catch a cold sleeping like that. I guess Taiga-kun’s not effected by cold because he’s from the north...?

A happi hung from Taiga’s open closet. 

Shin: Oh, he has a happi. Taiga-kun really likes festivals so if he’s free he goes and participates in them all over the place. He’s from Aomori so he’s always going back home when it’s festival time. He looks like a bad boy, but he’s actually a good kid at heart. Or at least that’s what Kakeru-san said. 

Shin approached a desk with many things scattered upon it. 

Shin: His room is a mess.... Hm? There are a lot of ripped out pages from magazines here... What’s all this...!? Ah, these are articles about Kazuki-san. Wow, he’s really diligent in collecting these... Is all this stuff really Kazuki merchandise... !? Gosh, Taiga-kun really loves Kazuki-san, doesn’t he....

Taiga: GRAHH! GET IT OFF!!

The blanket which Taiga had suddenly kicked off flew into the air and smacked hard into Shin’s face.

Shin: HUAGH!

Taiga: Mmrrghghm.......

Shin: Whew... Taiga-kun is such a violent sleeper.... 

Shin fixed Taiga’s blanket again before heading out of the room. 

Shin: Next we’ll be heading to Kakeru-san’s room. Excuse me for entering... Kakeru-san is a 1st year student in senior high school and the heir to Juuouin Holdings. He has a suuuuuper important job called executive director! I heard that the truth is his real name is Kazuo, but he gets mad when you call him that. So just keep it between us, OK?

This room was not quite like any of the others.

Shin: Huh!? The interior of this room is totally different... The floor is covered by a plush carpet, and the wall is plastered in such fancy wallpaper. Ah, and in this room there is only one bed... and it’s covered with a canopy? What a gorgeous room fit for a celebrity... Unfortunately it seems Kakeru-san’s pajamas are covered by his sheets....

Kakeru: Mmm... mm...

Almost as though he’d just heard Shin’s words, Kakeru chose that moment to roll over in his sleep and show off his pajamas.

Shin: Ah, this is... a silk gown!? And he’s even got a matching night cap. It looks so expensive. And what’s this... cucumber slices on his face! He’s sleeping with a skin care mask on! How clever! You know, Kakeru-san’s face is really pretty with his glasses off... So handsome...!

Kakeru cracked a smile with his eyes still shut. 

Shin: His desk has some difficult-looking business-y books on it and... huh!? What’s this!? 

Kakeru flinched. There were several magazines of female prism stars. 

Shin: Wow... Kakeru-san really likes watching prism shows huh....

Kakeru: *cough* *cough* Mmm mmgh... time to... get going... Mmmmph....

Shin: H.. He’s awake...!? ...I guess I just imagined it... Wooow! This shelf is covered with all sorts of plastic models and figures! Oh yeah, I heard that recently he went with Hiro-san to buy some plastic models.

Kakeru: ..N... ext....

Shin: Ah, yes of course! ...Huh?

Startled, Shin looked back at Kakeru. 

Kakeru: Zzz... Zzz...... 

Kakeru was breathing deeply in his sleep. Shin let out a sign of relief. 

Shin: Oh yeah! I have to get going to the next room anyway before we’re out of time! 

Shin left the room in a slight hurry. 

Kakeru: Uuu.... I forgot... to put away my magazines.... Mmmghm....

Shin: Next we’ll be sneaking into Minato-san’s room. Minato is a 1st year student in senior high school and he cooks the most delicious meals for us at the dorm. ...Well then, excuse me for entering... HUH!? WHA... WHAT IS....

Shin stopped dead in his tracks. The scenery which spread before his eyes was filled with the carcasses of beasts, torn in half, mercilessly roasted, and hanging from the ceiling. 

Shin: ...What in the world... 

Shin was gripped with indescribable fear. It was just at that moment that a large man holding a knife was creeping up behind Shin’s back. 

Shin: EEEK!! 

Minato: Ichijo, what’s the matter?

Shin: EEE!! EeeeeeeeeEEEE!!! T... Take whatever you want, just spare my life!!

Minato: Hm? Ichijo, it’s me. Minato. 

Shin: Kn-n-n-n-ife! 

Shin was pointing at the knife which was now aimed right at his throat. 

Minato: Ah, sorry, sorry. I was just preparing tomorrow’s ingredients. 

Minato smiled cheerfully as he lowered the knife. Shin pointed to the carcasses hanging from the ceiling. 

Shin: W-what is all this!?

Minato: The three great hams of the world! Jamón Serrano, Prosciutto, and Jīnhuá Huǒtuǐ! I bought them wholesale.

Shin: HAM!? Wholesale? 

Minato: This is what ham looks like before you slice it. It’s best to keep it at room temperature. 

Shin: ...Oh.....

Minato: But what are you doing up at this hour? And with a camera in your hand?

Shin: Oh yeah, that’s right. Right now I’m in the middle of showing off everyone’s rooms for a project called “Let’s Sneak In! 24 Hours of Edel Rose”. Ah! So you sleep in a sweatsuit I see! 

Minato: It’s comfortable and easy to move around in. Well then, good luck with your program!

Shin: Thank you!

Shin bowed politely as he left the room. 

Shin: So Minato really does focus on cooking 24 hours a day. Ah, let’s go to the next room.

Shin approached Leo’s room. 

Shin: Next up is Leo-kun’s room. He looks just like a really cute girl... and his personality is feminine too... But he’s actually a boy.... but we all... um.... Yeah! He’s like our idol at Edel Rose! Well, excuse me for entering.... 

Shin’s eyes widened in surprise. 

Shin: Wooow... It’s just like a girl’s room. 

The room was covered in lovely decorations and overflowing with adorable stuffed animals. 

Shin: And it smells so nice too... 

Leo: Urr... Mmm... 

As Shin watched Leo roll over in his sleep with a cuteness that any girl would envy, he felt his heart fluttering beyond his control. 

Shin: *ba-dump* ...L.. Leo-kun... He’s so... cute......

Shin could not take his eyes off Leo’s lightly colored limbs which peaked from underneath the covers. 

Shin: U..Uh ummm.... Leo-kun’s pajamas are... really cute pink negligee...

Leo’s explosive cuteness made Shin completely lose his cool. 

Leo: Ahh!

All of a sudden Leo grabbed Shin by his clothing and pulled him under the covers. 

Shin: WooAAh!

Leo was hugging Shin so tightly that he could not move. 

Leo: Squishy ♡

Leo rubbed his cheek against Shin’s face as he smiled blissfully.

Leo: So soft ♡

Shin: L-Leo-kun...!?

Leo: Zzz..... Zzzz.... 

Shin: He’s still half asleep... right?

Shin wasn’t sure what to do. He fixed his gaze on Leo’s face once more. 

Shin: Leo-kun... He’s just... so cute....

Suddenly Leo-kun’s eyes shot open. 

Leo: ...Wha!?

Shin: WHA!?

Leo: EEEEEEEEEEEK!

Shin: AahhAAH! I’m-I’m sorry!! 

Shin quickly scrambled away from Leo. Leo rubbed his eyes as he started to properly wake up. 

Leo: ...Huh? ...Shin-kun, what’s going on... this late at night...? 

Leo stared at Shin with wonder.

Shin: I.. I um... This... this is.... 

Leo smiled warmly. 

Leo: Ahh! Now I understand! Eheh. If you’re lonely why don’t we sleep together?

Shin: N... No that’s not it! I-I-I’ll be going now!!

Leo: Nooo, wait! Shin-kun, don’t go!

A very flustered Shin ran from the room. 

Shin: *panting* Oh man... I hope I didn’t give him any strange thoughts...

Shin continued on to Yu’s room. 

Shin: Next is Yu-kun’s room. Yu-kun is a 1st year student in junior high school. He writes both the lyrics and music for our songs. Alright then... Excuse me for entering...

As Shin entered the room there were instruments of all kinds everywhere. 

Shin: Wow, look at all these instruments... Drums, bass, guitar, a keyboard, a trumpet, a sax.... It’s like a live music club....

Shin’s eyes moved to the walls and ceiling.

Shin: These are all posters and pieces of merchandise of Bell Renjoji... There’s so much....

Yu was gripping tightly to a body pillow printed with Bell’s image as he slept. 

Yu: Mmm... I’ll definitely... be the one.... to make you happy...... Mmmmmph.....

A comical sweat drop dripped down from Shin’s forehead. 

Shin: ...Yu-kun’s a really big fan of Bell-san, isn’t he.... Aah, umm... Yu-kun sleeps in... Bell Rose pajamas!

Shin left the room. 

Shin: Now, it’s time for what you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to sneak into Over the Rainbow’s rooms: Kouji-san, Hiro-san, and and Kazuki-san’s! ...Whaa!? We’re out of time!? Aw shucks.... I... I’m sorry! It seems that’s all we have time for today... Sorry about that! See you next time!

Echo In The Mirror

Ok so I’ve been going through a bit of a rough patch so I wrote this fic to vent. I’m sorry to say but I didn’t include any reader inserts in this fic.

However, I am still working on my reader insert projects! I just needed a little fic to vent!

Thank you all so much for understanding! I love you all!

Here’s the song I used btw

Zim’s base moaned and groaned as Zim laid down on his couch.

The poor alien’s mind was overloaded with an ocean of endless noise.

All Zim could hear was countless voices screeching at him from all directions.

“You’ve failed to dominate the Urth yet again! You grow more useless everyday!” One voice snarled.

“You’re so incompetent! You’re dumber than every human on this planet!” Snickered another.

“It’s a wonder how The Control Brains haven't deactivated you by now. After all you are a defective!”

Zim was at his wits end! He tried to watch some TV in hopes of drowning out the voices but his attempts were all in vain.

The voices only grew louder and louder with every passing minute.

“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!” Zim shrieked as he tugged on his antennas.

“GRAHH! I CANNOT STAND THESE VOICES ANY LONGER!! WHY MUST THIS BE?! WHY MUST THIS BE?!” Pink tears poured down his cheeks as he hopped off the couch.

Not knowing what else to do, Zim resorted to banging his head against a wall.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

While the pain distracted his mind for a moment. Hitting his head wasn’t enough to silence the wretched voices.

Not by a long shot.

The voices only grew louder and louder by the second.

“What a fool! Did you honestly think that would work?! You cannot silence us!” One voice snickered.

“We are the voices of reason! Why are you refusing to listen to our advice?!” Another whined.

“Honestly, why do you bother anymore? You’re too useless to do anything right!” Another sighed.

More tears streamed down Zim’s cheeks as the voices continued their chanting.

Zim tried to get to his lab but came across a mirror along the way.

The mirror was a bit dingy and cracked but Zim could still see his disheveled face staring back at him.

“Look at me! How could I let some pathetic voices control me?! I AM ZIM! Those voices are just stupid glitches in my INCREDIBLE brain!” Zim sniffled as he struggled to dry his tears.

“Those voices have a point you know…”

Zim let out a gasp and backed away from the mirror for a moment.

Did his reflection just talk to him?!

“You…You can speak?!” Zim stuttered as he approached the mirror again.

“Of course I can! Now take a good look at me! I am who you truly are! A useless fool!” The reflection spat as he gestured to himself.

“No! You are filled with LIES!!! I am amazing! I am-”

“You are a failure! You’ll never win the approval of your people! You’re a menace! You’ve destroyed countless lives! You can’t do anything right! Just do everyone a favor and end your life!” The reflection bellowed as its face became more and more distorted.

Zim let out a scream as his distorted reflection slowly morphed into a massive, shadowy, monster.

He ran away from the mirror and dove into his toilet.

Zim let out a few whimpers and hid his face.

He struggled to steady his breathing but the noise in his head wouldn’t allow it.

Zim poked his head out of the toilet and tried to find something, anything, to focus on. Perhaps looking at something would distract his mind for a moment.

After frantically scanning the room, Zim’s eyes came across an old wall clock.

Zim stared and stared at the clock. He focused intently on it’s stained face and jagged hands.

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Zim quickly found comfort in the clock’s broken ticking.

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Zim felt himself calm down a bit as he continued to focus on the clock.

Tick Tock Tick….

Zim had been staring at the clock so long that its soothing ticking started to fade away into static.

“The clock stopped ticking forever ago. How long have I been here? I don’t know. I can’t get a grip but I can’t let go. There wasn’t anything to hold onto though…” Zim sang as he dug his claws into his legs.

It wasn’t long before Zim’s anxiety morphed into a horrific hallucination.

“Why can’t I see? Why can’t I see? All the colors that they see? Please can I be? Please can I be? Colorful and free?” Zim sang as his voice started to skip.

“What the hell’s going on? Can someone tell me please? Why I’m switching faster than the channels on TV?” Zim’s body glitched out into countless monochrome pixels and violent static.

“I’m black then I’m white. No! Something isn’t right! My enemy’s invisible I don’t know how to fight!” Zim wailed as his body glitched between black and white.

“The trembling fear is more than I can take! When I’m up against the Echo in the mirror!” Zim’s reflection popped out of the mirror and yanked him out of the toilet.

“You didn’t think you could hide from the truth forever did you?! Just let go of all of your little dreams! You’re destined to remain in greyscale.” The reflection bellowed as he shook Zim a bit.

“No, I just can’t let go! Born to be colorful!” Zim’s body and voice continued to glitch out, “There’s not a thing to hold, I must let my colors show!”

Zim wriggled himself out of his reflection’s grip. and started to run as fast as his legs could take him.

It wasn’t long before Zim found himself running through a massive, distorted clock.

“Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.” Zim’s reflection chanted as he chased him around and around.

Zim kept running and running until he finally made it out of the clock.

However, the moment he was freed from the clock, the world was falling apart around him and constantly shifting to monochrome pixels and static.

Zim didn’t even have time to process what was happening. For his reflection was hot on his tail!

Everything shook as the distorted reflection drew closer and closer.

Zim had no choice but to keep on running.

The more he ran the worse the world became.

Paintings and windows melted off of the walls and the couched glitched out of existence.

Zim ran throughout his decaying world and didn’t stop until-

THUMP!

Zim ran right into his distorted reflection.

The ground crumbled away and Zim found himself inside a massive, monochrome boxing ring.

DING! DING!

A boxing bell went off and his reflection tried to take a swipe at him.

Luckily, Zim managed to quickly dodge out of the way.

Zim tried to hit back but his reflection vanished into the shadows.

“Like boxing a shadow in the darkness, I’m fighting against the Echo in the mirror!” Zim swallowed as he frantically looked around for his reflection.

POW!

His reflection snuck up and struck Zim from behind, causing the boxing ring to collapse into a seemingly endless static void.

Zim found himself falling faster and faster, his body glitching in and out of existence as he did so.

It didn’t take long for his reflection to dive down after him.

Zim frantically tried to get away but his attempts were all in vain

SWOOP!

His reflection melted into his body.

Zim’s body glitched rapidly as he slowly begun to grow more and more monstrous.

His teeth became razor sharp and his antennas morphed into horns.

Four more arms burst from his body as his claws grew longer and longer.

Once the transformation was complete, Zim begun to lose what little was left of his sanity.

“I’m gonna burn my house down into an ugly black! I’m gonna run away now and never look back!” His voice was distorted as he begun to search for a lighter.

“I’m gonna burn my house down into an ugly black! I’m gonna run away now and never look back!” Was all Zim could say as he got his grotesque claws on a lighter.

“And never look back! And never look back! AND NEVER LOOK BACK!” Zim was about to light what was left of his base on fire when-

ZAP!

Zim’s body glitched out once more as he frantically tried to reverse his corruption.

“What the hell’s going on? Can someone tell me please? Why I’m switching faster than the channels on TV?” Zim’s body glitched between his true self and his corrupted body.

“I’m black then I’m white. No! Something isn’t right! My enemy’s invisible I don’t know how to fight!” Zim wailed as his body glitched between black and white.

“The trembling fear is more than I can take! When I’m up against the Echo in the mirror!” Zim shrieked as he burst into tears.

Just when he thought he was about to explode, Zim felt something wrap around his waist.

“Master? Are you ok?”

The sound of GIR’s sympathetic voice freed Zim from his nightmarish hallucination.

“Guh…GIR? What are you doing?” Zim groaned as he looked down as GIR hugging his waist.

“You were screaming real loud! Just like this ‘AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!’ So I thought a hug might cheer you up!” GIR sang as he nuzzled into Zim’s chest.

Zim opened his mouth to protest but nothing came out.  

He simply sighed and returned the hug.

While he would never admit it, he truly did need a hug to cheer him up.

Zim knew it would take a lot more than a simple hug to silence the voices but for now, the feeling of being held was enough to make him feel safe.
