#one sided zadr

[invaderoli]

Throwing up actually. I'm actually dying did you know that..did you know hatja. Did you. Did you mnnwp thaaq. Did Zoui know THBABA T. DIDI YOU

I see everyone talking about one sided zadr on dibs side, but you guys are SLEEPINGGG on the opposite.

Imagine how fucking HEART WRENCHINGLY TRAGIC THAT WOULD BE. Zim has never felt love. He has heard the voices of millions, seen the faces of billions, befriended some and been hated by trillions, but not a single time has he felt love.

So when he feels that. That spark. That new joy blossoming in the soil of his heart. That feeling that can only be described as love, it is the most wonderful thing he has ever experienced.

When he smiles at dibs voice, gets giddy at dibs smile, only has thoughts about dib, dib, dib, it is a wonderful feeling.

When dib rejects him, it absolutely ruins him. He had never felt that, and he will never feel it again. It doesn't just twist the knife, it stabs him twice.

And despite the fact Dib wouldn't bat an eye if someone killed Zim and dropped his body off on the side of the road, treating him no less than the roadkill of a small animal, and maybe even feel a little jealous that he wasn't the one to do it, Zims feelings would be persistent.

He would stubbornly pursue dib, constantly try to win him over with futile attempts, heartfelt speeches, adorable homemade crafts and gifts, love letters penned in messy handwriting, everything the alien could think of. But it would all never work. Because just like Zims love, Dib can't change the way he feels for Zim. Which, as a strike contrast to the irkens, is only hate.

[emeraldspiral]

if you've watched Gravity Falls, how do you think a crossover with Invader Zim would be? Would Dib try to summon Bill Cipher to catch Zim? How would that backfire? Zim maybe follows Dib to Gravity Falls. Also, I think maybe unlike Dib, Dipper and Mabel would like to befriend Zim even if he's an alien, tho' Zim would push them away or be scared of they knowing he's an alien, while Zim denies everything and Dib tries to expose him; also Mabel being friendly with everyone and maybe the voice of reason (because she's neither straight nor a man xD), Ford being the father wishes he had also maybe Dib venting to Dipper how Dipper and Mabel are better siblings than him and Gaz. Also that crashed UFO. I can see both Dib AND Zim wanting to explore that place. Dib because it’s a crashed alien ship and Zim because he knows how rare alien life is in this part of the galaxy and he wants to know what exactly came here. Ending with Dipper forced to leave, because I think he'd love to stay in a place so full of paranormal, but he can at least get a way to stay in contact with Dipper (as a treat) and he finally gets a human friend by his age. Sorry for yapping too much.

I think IZ and GF have different rules in play. In IZ, everyone is terminally stupid except Dib and no one's allowed to see through Zim except for him. But in GF, nobody's as stupid as the average Zim character, and plenty of people are allowed to recognize and admit that the paranormal exists. Dipper is basically the Dib of his universe, so it'd be really OOC for him to either not see that Zim is an alien or not believe Dib about him being a hostile alien.

I could see a scenario where Dib knows Zim is at GF, but hasn't found him yet, bumps into Dipper, they hit it off and he believes Dib about Zim. Meanwhile, Zim runs into Mabel. She recognizes that he's an alien immediately, but Zim pretends to be benevolent and she buys it and he becomes her new Crush of the Week. She doesn't believe Dipper and Dib when they finally meet up to warn her about Zim, because she's been with him all day and he's been "nothing but a perfect gentlemen". But then Zim inevitably shows his true colors and Mabel gets her heart broken once again, but then she switches to Dib as the target of her affections after seeing the way he handled that alien jerk who lied and messed with her feelings.

Dib, upon meeting Bill absolutely would fail to heed Dipper's warnings because he overestimates how much of a threat Zim is and his own ability to outsmart Bill.

Because GF's world is softer than IZ's and we're playing by their rules since the story's taking place on their turf, the ending wouldn't be super harsh on Dib. Dipper and Mabel would save him and he'd feel like an ass for not listening to Dipper after Dipper was the first person to ever listen to him. But Dipper would forgive him, recognizing that he was just desperate to stop Zim and thought he was doing the right thing. Overall, Dib would really enjoy his time in GF, but knows he can't stay there because duty calls him to return to his city to keep watch over Zim, but maybe he dreams of moving there after he graduates because it's basically his idea of paradise.

I finally re-found this and I'm not losing it again.

I fell in love with this AU and couldn’t stop thinking of it. It's very interesting how you've made different ways the story could go 🖤

Thanks for making this AU, I love everything about it ❤️

Promise Me

Finally. Zim has finally been given a worthwhile mission to prove himself to the others. To show he’s fully on their side. Zim is finally worthy. Yet Dib would not look at him. Since they left the bridge where they were briefed for the next mission Dib had grown quiet and cold.

His black coat fluttered innocently around his long legs as he stormed ahead of Zim. His hands clenched into fists at his side, the dark blue leather tight over his knuckles. He had the lock code for their sleeping quarters punched in before Zim even caught up to him.

“What has gotten into you?” Zim spat the second the door to their quarters slid shut. Dib let out a low growl as he ran one hand through his hair, the other presumably pressed against his eyes. Zim couldn’t see it where Dib was turned away from him but the stiff line of his shoulders said more than anything.

Dropping his hands, his goggles fell to the dresser.

Dib stripped his utility watch and gloves off next. They fell to the wooden top with a small thud. He picked up his glasses, before unceremoniously shoving them over his nose. The tense silence stretched between them.

Zim hated it. Hated how it made his spooch clench and his antenna flatten. How it made his skin feel too tight. His old Invader uniform was suffocating, clinging in ways his new one didn’t. He couldn’t breathe. “Di—“

“You can’t go, Zim.” Dib cut in as he leaned heavily against the dresser. His shoulders were trembling. “They’re insane.” He spat, and Zim could hear the panic rising in the back of his human's throat. “To send a defected Irken? Into the heart of the Armada? Anyone else. They could send literally anyone else but you.”

Zim let his claws unclench and his own tense shoulders fall. He took a breath. “They can’t and you know it. Zim is honored to serve the Resisty.” Dib jerked his head roughly to the side as Zim spoke. As if shaking off an annoying insect. “It is an ho—“

Dib spun around, eyes wild behind the round frames of his glasses. “It’s suicide!” He wailed, “When th—if they catch you they’ll destroy you. No hesitation!” The panic was growing as his voice rose. “Send someone else!”

The realization hit him with the force of the whole army. He was across the room in a matter of seconds, his smaller body immediately pressed along Dib’s back. His human shuddered as the sobs finally broke free. “I can’t lose anyone else.” He choked out.

“Zim will be fine.” Zim muttered, pulling on Dib’s coat just enough to make him face him. Watery gold eyes stared back. Zim was drowning.

“I can’t lose you, Zim.” Dib’s hand came up to gently cup his jaw. “Promise me you’ll stay safe.” He pressed their foreheads together.

Zim let himself be pulled forward into Dib’s space. Breathing in his warm breath. Dib’s kisses always felt like he was watching a supernova. “I will do everything in my power to come back to you, Dib-mate.”

This was supposed to be for @alt-zadr-b1tch3z Zadr week 2024— but life decided it had other plans and I didn’t have time. But it’s done now! I wanna do more with this AU ngl— probably will eventually

[do-you-ship-it-polls]

ZaDr is way too controversial of a ship to keep the poll up imo, it pretty much tore the entire invader zim fandom in half and there's a bunch of vitrol on both sides and it just isn't worth it.

I understood quickly that it was a controversial/potentially bad one, but no one has actually bothered me over that poll. and the person who submitted it was nice so they get mod-likes-them privileges. lmao

[problematiquehell-inactive]

You might remember Kyle from the fact he had created a hate mod and blacklisted a disabled queer CSA survivor from the animation industry leading to them needing end of life care and are currently couch surfing

on twitter I saw someone, in response to Kyle Carrozza being outed for 600 files of BDSM CSEM, say "its not that they think drawings are the same as CSEM but they think CSEM is as trivial as a drawing"

Which makes perfect sense since apparently MANY people in his animation circle knew and were aware of Kyle's possession of CSEM.

This is why we hate antis. The fact of the matter is that you guys keep backing and actively supporting pedophiles because they happen to be on YOUR side of a ship war. You just like putting survivors in their places.

600 files of children being raped and tortured for a sick fucks amusement is NOT EVER comparable to alien cock. 600 files of children being tortured shouldn't be on the same THOUGHT as ZADR because one is 600 files of children being traumatized, raped and tortured and the other has no victims. To continue to think they are the same shows you do not care about victims, you think 600 victims mean as little, that their trauma is as trivial as a drawing. Its bullshit. Its humiliating. and as a survivor myself, its down right disrespectful to our trauma.

600

files of children being raped and tortured. That is not comparable to ANY drawing.

I've encountered antis who were VERY intrusive to my trauma They kept asking personal and invasive questions to see if my trauma was "the right trauma" to enjoy teacher x student or adult x minor. Its because they weren't thinking of me as a victim of grooming and stalking, They thought my trauma was no more worse than fanfiction. Something to jack off too, or add to an OC's backstory. They didn't see me as a victim, they saw me as inspiration.

You guys don't care about real survivors when they're talking to you! Our trauma means nothing, would never be good enough, will never "excuse" enough. Because to you its the same as pixels!

[invaderoli]

GUYS. I KNOW I HAVE 4487534885 AUS BUT. ZADR BODY GUARD AU OHHHH MY GODDDDDDD. Gh.

Zim is in the market for a new job after one causing too many purposeful fires at bloatys. Nowhere else will take him, infact he only really got that job over the schools career day.

Around that same time, more people have finally realised dib is prof. membranes son and considering how everyone in their city is insane, likely have permanent brain damage and prof membrane is world famous, its safe to assume dib feels unsafe.

One way or another, zim becomes a body guard and professor membrane hires him, under the impression they're both friends so it'll be easier for dib to adjust to having someone constantly by his side. Zim really has no other choice since the pay is high and the numbers in xyr bank account are not

ZaDr

THANKU FOR THE ASK BB!

i was honestly about to delete the reblog hmksjddhsk--

SHIP IT, of course c;

What made you ship it?

Admittedly, at the tender age of pre-teen, I'd never been exposed to a same sex couple, whether real or fictional, which made the whole concept of - not only two guys, but also a human and an alien - absolutely terrifying. Being super into cringey AMVs, it was inevitable I'd run across ZaDr eventually... and I hated it, pfff--

It was because I was scared of something different, really. But, after a few months of constantly running into the ship in the fandom space, it became less and less 'scary', and honestly... the aesthetic was growing on me.

The description I put in an IZ speedpaint, back then, had a huge ThIs Is NoT zAdR, iT iS gRoSs AnD wEiRd slapped right across the top, which I eventually removed a few months later as... well... I came to my senses haha!

ZaDr is the most - unintentionally - 'would be canon if made today and not distributed by Nickoldeon' kinda show. I mean, She-Ra had a ZaDr easter egg, for crying out loud - what could have been if someone more progressive, back in the day, had come up with the idea. Sorry Jhonen, but it's true

Favourite things about the ship?

To avoid another ramble, I'll just make a list - height difference, cultural difference, enemies to lovers, hate fucking, realising they're two sides of the same coin when it comes to daddy issues, co-dependency, dom/sub therapy... and just overall two hurt and broken idiots realising they need one another to heal and be happy.

Unpopular opinion about the ship?

... ... Zim is a power bottom and will never grow taller than 5ft - MAXIMUM.

Dib is not a uwu soft boi. He's just as mean and cruel as he thinks Zim is. That boy is a damn bully, and a borderline narcissist.

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?

[emeraldspiral]

Imagine Zim doesn't give up on his mission before he and Dib are out of skool like he does in a lot of ZADR/ZADF fics. Like, they've transitioned into a new life stage, but he's still trying to take over the earth in an adult setting.

Every week he's getting a new job, not because he needs one since he's still getting a military salary, but because he thinks he's "infiltrating" every job to learn its secrets and access a means of enslaving the human race. He goes to college just because some of the places he wants to infiltrate require a degree and 5-10 years experience and it just doesn't occur to him to forge his credentials. Eventually the Tallest cut him off, his base falls apart and he can't afford to fix it, so he has to move into a shitty apartment and get a steady human job for real. He dreams of one day being able to afford to build a new base. Unfortunately, the cost of those kits has skyrocketed, along with the type of fuel his Voot Cruisr takes and the cost of shipping food that's actually edible for Irkens all the way out to the Space Boonies, and the side-gigs he takes up to earn space currency just aren't paying the bills. Until he discovers he can make bank posting feet pics on Space OnlyFans.

Could we get a recap on Ang? I saw the name once or twice but I forgot the drama around them.

>Be Ang >Become extremely prominent ZADR artist, fight with fandom about this >Get job at Spindlehorse >Have side twitter full of hardcore shota, linking back to professional and work account >Get fired, lose health insurance which is a big deal because you have a condition where your spinal fluid leaks >Accuse a lot of people of a lot of things but most noticeably Kyle Carrozza >I think there was some other stuff >There was a callout doc from someone who says Ang sexually assaulted them, honestly still not sure what to make of that one >Disappear from internet, word gets out that you're in hospice, then dead >Reappear alive and well and talking about how we're all cosmic aliens or something

I don't even know, man.

[davekat-sucks]

I cant believe i woke up to an extremely long post about why invader zim ships are problematic. Holy shit people, this is the same show where the main character likes torturing others and wants to destroy the world but i guess him dating someone while being a 100 something years older is apparently TOO FAR in comparison. Makes me wonder if any of these people would last in Deviantart side of the fandom back then. I think "proship" and "anti" are really cringe terms but GOD i dont think ive seen a more dramatic group than antis. In conclusion i dont like zadr, in other words, zim x tak or gaz is a better ship than davekat.

Zim x Gaz aka ZAGR aka Zim and Gaz Romance is better than Davekat. Sorry for being biased, but I ship Zim/Gaz back then in old Deviantart days. Anti as a term especially had changed. Like before, there used to be Anti-ZADR, Anti-SasuSaku, or Anti-Sakura. Groups to show only specific hatred towards one character or ship. And hate art was common to show their dislike and critique. But now, you don't see that anymore.

[crumchy-olives]

Another Believer is a ZADR song. Specifically it's a one sided ZiM pining for Dib ZADR song.
