i'd love to hear more about your concept of the frylords and cooking ops tbh because now i cant play csd!3 without being like 'hehe frylord simulator' the whole time

:DDD I would be happy to!

The concept of frylord is probably my favorite unexplored Irken lore. (I'll try not to state comon zim wiki knowledge)

Also, I've worked in food service my whole adult life, so "The Frycook What Came From All that Space" was that much funnier to me when I rewatched the series.

My AU Irken Gir is proud to be apart of the Culinary Ops. He is slowly but surely obsorbing all the knowledge and skills necessary to be in charge of his own snacking system one day.

Tallest Red and Purple usually have awful jugment, but they were correct when they recognized Gir's natural talent for cooking.

Frylords are highly respected nobility in the Irken empire and rightfully so. Snacking is the most beloved and universal part of the Irken empire. Feeding the entire Irken species and the races it conquers is an endless job that requires dedication and continuous back-breaking labor. Frylords are appointed by the tallest to manage the major snacking systems throughout the greater galaxies to feed the empire. They are also rigorously trained in hand to hand combat in the event they must protect their kitchens/ staff drones from danger. A frylord knows how to accumulate mass and throw it around until an enemy falls.

They are the Irken Empire's closest equivalent to feudal knights. Frylords are usually tall; shorter than tallests but as tall as high generals. They are the only Irkens besides tallests to have unlimited access to food. They are also the only Irkens legally permitted to own property (they are given their own planets, slave forces, ships and businesses).

Frylords are also the most educated on ancient Irken history (though the information is greatly censored by the control brains). They are keepers of ancient recipes and cooking methods as well as modern ones. They are required/ expected to have an encyclopedic knowledge of neutrtional health. A tallest personal frylord is expected to advise them on dietary issues and establish healthy meal plans when necessary.

They also act as diplomats between service drone and tallests, though throughout history the frylords rarely defy their tallests in the interest of their worker drones.

The culinary ops is the most exclusive branch of the Irken military. It is divided into 4 sub branches; baking, butchery, brewing and harvesting. These branches often exchange and combine recipes. All 4 branches package and mass produce snacks and food items throughout the empire. Frylords employ shmillions of Irken civilians with steady food service, factory or cleaning jobs.

Gir is the youngest Irken in history to be enlisted in the program. He first joined the baking branch under Frylady Soo-Garr of Conventia. He switched to the butchery branch after accepting an apprenticeship under Sizz-Lorr of Foodcourtia, who earned his title of Frylord training under Master-Cutter Romprohst.

Pielord Emis-Gee is the empire's best baker and confectioner. He is frylord of the Massive's Grand kitchen and is the personal nutritionist to the tallests. PieLord Emis-Gee mentored Lady Soo-Garr. She covets his position as personal frylord to the tallests.

Brewmaster Master-Master Brewer Shakkenaktsturt of the HOPPS distillery system is the oldest of the frylords. Though famous for his cyder, wine and spirits, BMMB also specializes in soups, smoothies, soda, cocktails and all recipes liquid.

I have not yet designed a character for Head Harvester, Satt-Eva. Harvesters are the closest things to farmers that exist in Irken culture. They are in charge of the genetically modified orchard/ garden planet Producia and it's 6 terriformed moons where raw ingredients, herbs, spices and any other organic material no longer able to be produced on Irk are cultivated and distributed to the other frylords to make snacks. Most of the fruits and vegetables are mass cloned in greenhouse cities that cover the entire planet/ moons.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are an extremely rare luxury only fed to the tallest when in poor health. Producia is considered one of the most essential planets in the empire, next to Irk itself and is heavily guarded by it's own small Armada fleet.

Frylords are fun and fascinating Irkens. I encourage anyone to make a frylord OC .^^
