Never forget.

Bonus: It is entirely arguable Zim is more deserving of the title 'Defender of the Earth' than Dib is after Planet Jackers, especially since Dib indirectly abetted the annihilation attempt by adhering blindly to his preconceived bias, which is, y'know, the exact thing he's always (justifiably) yelling at everyone else for doing. For the good of the whole universe, neither of them can ever be made aware of this.

Friendly reminder that Zim failed at invading Earth so hard that he saved it. Twice.

#invader zim #zim #iz posting #its actually been way more than twice #though the exact count varies depending on what you define as sufficient threat to earth's existence #and how much involvement is enough to warrant credit #seriously though i think its very cute and fun how his possessiveness over earth's hypothetical destruction #circles back into a weird kind of protectiveness just as often as not #'thats MY planet' is such a conveniently ambiguous statement when it comes down to it #anyway this is like the precise reverse of that thing where dib got declared a great invader in the plim story #hypothetically great ammo for zim if not for it being so personally mortifying to acknowledge #extenuating circumstances or not he cant go around SAYING he single-handedly saved the planet from certain doom #that shits just plain embarrassing
