GORE WARNING!! (Not super bad. Just some light blood and organs)

Dark Harvest is probably my favorite episode it’s so AINFJCJDNSNDNNFNRMAK

I know that ‘Germs’ and ‘Dark Harvest’ are only paired together because the original pairing of ‘Bestest Friend’ + ‘Dark Harvest’ was considered just Too Fucked Up but… they really do make an Interesting Pair.

Because these two episodes both kinda follow the same plot hook of ‘Zim gets irrationally obsessively paranoid about something that might blow his mission’ but then go to the total opposite ends of the scale of, like Zim Likeability. Because in ‘Germs’ Zim just kinda comes off mostly as pathetic and pitiful and worthy of sympathy. It really is kinda adorable to see how scared he is of Germs.

And his obsession mostly just hurts himself and his mission (and, like, mildly annoyed GIR), which makes him feel more sympathetic.

And then, there’s ‘Dark Harvest’, which - again - starts from a very similar point of Zim’s paranoia about jeopardizing his mission.

But this time, when he goes too far with his obsession and starts misinterpreting things in a cartoony way (“more organs means more human”) he does so in a way that hurts a lot of people and basically makes him into a Horror Movie Monster.

…actually ‘Bestest Friends’ also kinda has a place here. Since this one is also about Zim’s Anxieties Going Too Far. But it’s, like, the exact midpoint on the scale between these two episodes.

Swinging between moments of extreme sympathetic pitifulness from Zim

And moments of extreme cruelty.

And finally ending on a real culmination of both, a comedic misunderstanding that really showcases the height of paranoia and anxiety that is constantly plaguing Zim, while also alienating him from who is actually the First Person to Genuinely Care About Him

And THEN he does something that's just really fucked up!

And that’s just the Duality of Zim, isn’t it?
