Re; DOOM!: Blendinians, Sonar, & Critters (script)

(the doors of the lab open, and Zim enters)

Zim: Caroline?

(Zim walks in further, then stops)

Zim: [yelling] Caroline!

(Zim Walks up behind Caroline)

Zim: [shouting] CAROLINE!! WHAT are you DOING!?!

(Caroline whips her head around from Fibi to look at Zim)

Caroline: SHHHH! Be nice! You’re ruining my concentration. (turning back to the restrained Fibi) Now hold still, will ya!?

Zim: Ugh! I can’t believe this! You’re not working the top-secret and super deadly ketchup gas!

Caroline: You know, you really gotta start thinking about the bigger picture.

Zim: [sputters] -What!? That’s exactly what you said about your tickborg nanobot-repellent floor wax!

Caroline: Now look, that stuff tested just fine on the chipmunks.

Zim: IT BURNED HOLES THROUGH ALL OF MY MACHINERY!!

Caroline: Well, you can’t make big breakthroughs without taking risks.

Zim: RISKS? RISKS!?! (Zim pokes Fibi between the eyes as he speaks) That’s a blendinian, you idiot! They’re a rarity all across the galaxy and worth a fortune! And here you are, trying to stick sonar in it’s head!

Caroline: but do you ever stop to think why I’m STICKING SONAR IN IT’S HEAD!?!

Caroline: Think of all those long nights, us pulling critters out of traps…

Zim: And finding them takes ages. WHAT’S THAT GOT TO DO WITH-

Caroline: Will you JUST SHUT UP!? Yeesh. Look. You and I spend like, what? 20 hours each week catching critters? That’s 20 hours we could be spending working more effective heat rays, chemical weapons, poisons, shrinking pills, soft drinks that turn people into marsupials, Look here. (Caroline pulls down a screen)

Caroline: We have traps everywhere, right? And when animals get caught in them, the traps send out a sonar beacon, right? Then, we have to drop whatever we’re doing, go out, pick ‘em up, bring ‘em back, (as she speaks the screen changes to depict the tedious process she describes) But with my sonar-enhanced blendinian, it finds the traps, it brings the critters to us! He-he. (The screen then depicts the sonar enhanced Fibi retrieving the critters and bringing them back to the base) More critters, more research, more experiments, (folds up screen) It’s flawless!

Zim: Caroline, I apologize. You are a genius!

Oddworld Fan Species: The Banshriek

Tekkno, Tilly and her children, along with Tilly's Nanny are all a species I had created for Oddworld. Since the first introduction of Tekkno, and now with the intro of his older sister Tilly and her family, I've compiled a little thing of facts and info about the Banshriek for you guys. I'm removing the "About the species" page from Tekkno's bio page and it will now be kept on this post.

Banshrieks are sapient limbless lizards that inhabit the cavernous underground networks beneath Scrabania. They used to live above the underground back in the days before the Schism. When the Glukkons began their take over of Oddworld and ravaging the resources, the banshrieks were chased underground and that is where they stayed to this day. It is incredibly rare to see them come up from the underground, but they will leave to seek sources of food. They will then retreat back to the underground once they have eaten their fill. There exist some banshrieks who never hunt and rely on traders for their food. They are natural enemies of Scrabs. In a fight, a banshriek normally wins. Their methods are non-fatal. If a scrab wins, the banshriek will often be torn apart.

Banshrieks have their own cities beneath the underground and the biggest one is the capital of Orebrook. Orebrook houses the leader of the banshrieks and is the location of their massive museum of history and lore. I based Orebrook off an old piece of official concept art from Munch’s Oddysee. Possibly of the location of Ma’Spa

Banshrieks do not have a queen system. Their females all produce the same number of eggs and they do not rely on a queen to keep the population alive. Leadership tends to fall onto females because of their longevity, but males can take over the duty. They are run by a Lord and Lady system instead of chiefs or queens. Instead of monarchy systems, they run with a democracy system. Leaders are appointed by votes. They can be impeached if they do not live up to standards and replaced. A Lord or Lady who has been appointed will serve for the remainder of their life, or if a vote is called to have them replaced due to incompetent leadership.

Images of banshrieks have been seen within Mudokon story stones and scrolls, such as telling the story of Seraphim and Lebone. Their symbol for rebirth is either a banshriek in a circle or the infinity symbol where the banshriek is consuming their own tail. Similar to the ouroboros symbol.

Banshrieks are reptiles and come in 2 types. Legless, and limbless. Limbless Banshrieks are the most common. They have no arms and legs. Legless banshrieks are the least common. They have a set of arms with three fingers: a pinky, thumb, and pointer/middle finger. Each finger having a single, white, talon-like claw. They have 2 fan-like frills on their head. One on each side of their face. The frills will flare over their face to increase the distance and power of their shriek. They use it for echolocation or a defense mechanism. They will often use their scream to trip foes or stun them so they can make an escape. As a last resort, a banshriek will scream so loud that they can render a foe permanently deaf by bursting their ear drums. They have 2 eyelids. an outer one and an inner film-like eyelid that they will close over their eye while they burrow under the sands of Scrabania. They can also close their nostrils while burrowing as well. They are capable of swimming. They have a forked tongue which aids with identifying scents.

Unlike most reptiles, they can survive well in both hot and cold environments. While they have sharpened teeth, they are omnivores. They eat fish, insects, nuts, vegetables, fruit, and tubers. They also eat meat and eggs, but the law of the banshriek is “If it doesn’t speak the common tongue, it is fair game. If it speaks the common tongue, your freedom revoked.” Eating the eggs and meat of other sapient races is punishable. They will send you to Orebrook to serve a long time to life in a high security prison.

Banshrieks don’t have much when it comes to visible sexual dimorphism. Females and Males tend to look the same. Usually you tell a male and a female apart by their voices, but mistakes still happen. Banshrieks go by mating systems. Their partners are “mates” while their spouses are “Binding mates.” Proposals are done depending on the type of Banshriek. Limbless banshrieks will present a gemstone to the female. Legless banshrieks wear “Binding bands” on their pointer finger. Silver for the husband. Gold for the wife. In the event of same sex marriage. Limbless partners exchange gemstones to each other. Legless ones have binding bands of both silver and gold.

The banshriek was my take on the concept of banshees. A mythological ghost that could kill or inflict fatal curses upon others with their scream. I like to work real life creatures, Mythical creatures or folklore, or some references to religions into Oddworld.

3 (Do you have any upcoming WIPs? How far along are you with them?), 9 (Are there any fics you’d love to see but don’t want to write yourself? What are they?), 17 (What has been the proudest moment for you so far since you started writing?). i've been meaning to ask about what's next for ur writing, so this is awfully convenient 0:)

3.) At the moment I haven't starting writing any new fics yet, although I do have several ideas floating around!

In regards to more Hylics fics I was thinking of writing a dramatic story about Dracula's life story from its perspective and another about Somsnosa, Dedusmuln, and Pongorma going on their own mini adventure without Wayne (mostly as a means for me to show these characters' friendships with each other outside of their shared relationship to Wayne). Both of these are gonna be WAAAAAAY shorter than my last fic though, for the sake of my sanity!

I've also been toying with the idea of writing an Oddworld fanfic, since that game series is also one of my all-time favorites. So far I have a faint inkling of a story revolving around the hellish daily life of an Intern (a very disturbing enemy species from Munch's Oddysee that I find highly underrated) working in an animal testing facility, but so far haven't outlined a cohesive narrative for it to move into the draft stage yet.

9.) Hmmm... that's an interesting question. In general I'd love to see more fanfics that revolve around highlighting the neurodivergency of canon or headcanoned neurodivergent characters. I try to write them myself, of course, but for some of the fandoms I'm in I just don't have the desire to write my own fics for the source material.

Also can anyone please write more Serial Experiments Lain fics? The series has existed since 1998 yet I've only found 36 on ao3 and like 9 on fanfiction.net and that kinda depresses me...

17.) This is probably gonna be a predictable answer for you, but me having written the entirety of Chaos Inverted is my proudest moment as a fiction writer. 32,000 words is the most I've ever written for anything in my life at the moment, and even though it was for a pre-established universe, the worldbuilding itself along with the true nature of the characters was so vague that I basically had to come up with most of the lore and character dynamics myself (as all of us Hylics fans have to do). The fact that I was able to complete this while working and managing other aspects of my life means that I'm totally capable of working toward my goal of becoming a professional writer!
