Just learned that YouTooz is making Invader Zim plushies. This is the crossover I didn't know I needed.
I keep telling myself "you don't need more YouTooz, you just spent $80 on the MatPat x FNaF merch" but I want him so bad.

Invader Zim + ZaDr Fan Merch Review
I bought some zadr and iz directly from @banana-zim and the gist of it is that it was very good 5/5 stars would recommend
But here are the details:
Nana was very very accommodating for my horrible financial situation and was able to indefinitely hold items for me and make arrangements with shipping to make sure I had a stable income while making the purchase, and also was very patient and kind throughout the whole process even when things were not stable on my end. I was able to plan this for months! Very trustworthy I'd say
These are the items I bought
[ID 1: A zim pillow in a plastic wrapper, and a notebook with stickers and stickiness wrapped in bubble wrap. /End ID 1]
The packaging had kept everything clean, dry and undamaged.
There was a Zim on both sides of the pillow, the colours were vibrant (though they look a little more saturated on my phone camera, no idea why) and the fabric was very soft. It has a zipper that is almost not visible, and you can open it. Inside is fluff, which you could theoretically remove to wash the pillow case though it didn't come with wash instructions. I will let Nana comment on that if there are questions!
[ID 2, 3: The zim pillow from other angles showing the backside and zipper, unzipped. /End ID 2, 3]
The post-its are cute and easy to write on, they have enough white space to get a few sentences down depending on how small you write. Here is a little thank you note ♡
[ID 4: The notebook laid out on the bubble wrap with the post-it notes and stickers on top. /End ID 4]
[ID 5: A close-up picture of the post-it notes. On the first page there is a heart drawn with a ballpoint pen and the words "Thank you Bananazim!" /End ID 5]
I got the zadr stickers for free. They have a paper-like texture and the colours seem slightly more muted than the pillow but they still look colourful in real life. I stuck one of them to the inside of my notebook and they seem to stick nicely!
[ID 6: Three stickers. The first is the swollen eyeball symbol on top of the irken symbol. The second is a heart with a space background. Inside of the heart Zim and Dib are kissing. The third is square, with Dib laying on a pillow with a blanket over his waist and an open book under his hand. Zim clings to his back. /End ID 6]
The notebook looks like this! It has saturated colours on the front and back, and a protective plastic page on either side. The front and back pages are shinier than the inside, and all pages on the inside are lined. Size A5.
[ID 7, 8: The front page of the notebook, a drawing of the black silhouettes of Zim and Dib in front of the control brains and swollen eyeball screens. The screens and Dib's eyes are coloured turquoise while Zim's eye and the control brains are coloured pink. Zim appears to sit in Dib's lap, and Dib's fingers have turquoise threads wrapped around them that go into Zim's back where his PAK is supposed to be. There is pink text reading "MY LittLE ALiEN". The lines are white. The pictures as with and without the slightly opaque plastic cover page. /End ID 7, 8]
[ID 9: A page of the notebook. It is lined from top to bottom. /End ID 9]
[ID 10: The backside of the notebook. It's black with the turquoise swollen eyeball symbol over the irken symbol. /End ID 10]
Overall I really enjoyed this, and I've already started using the notebook to keep track of my creative projects and everything I need to mend or fix in my room :)
In the reblogs I will link the Etsy shop and kofi because I don't know if tumblr hides posts with links or if that was an old bug?

I was browsing Walmart online the other day and I searched for IZ stuff (not expecting to find much, if anything, but since Walmart has devolved into the likes of Amazon these last few years, some products actually did come up), and uh...
They're offering a blanket depicting a FAKE fan-made rumor episode/special that never existed??? I think it's supposed to be that "Invader Dib" idea that has circulated since waaayy back in the day. (Maybe????)
Now I'm left wondering - who designed this?? There's no way this is official merch right - it's clearly a weird knockoff item, so like... someone drew this. Some person somewhere designed this incredibly cheap-looking very obviously fake blanket and struck a deal with Walmart to sell it for actual money.
And I'm sorry, but it's not even a good design. (It's even cut off a little on the side if this is an accurate product "photo.")
What is going on??? Lmao

I'll give you ten seconds to find what's wrong with this pin.
Yeah, they left out the single line denoting Dib has glasses.
I don't know if that was already an issue with whatever official art they used to make this thing but:
"I hope somebody got fired for that blunder"
