gortash sets up a lending library at his estate after seeing durge’s in the bhaal temple. they both know they’re the only people who use them so it turns into a sort of game. durge loves music, so after enver’s last visit a book about viola has appeared in the temple library. enver fancy’s himself a jeweler so it’s only natural a scroll about gem welding would end up in his library. books relating to their schemes, hobbies, pasts, futures, inside jokes and aspirations get passed back in forth. the only extended pause is when a novel about star crossed lovers gets dropped in the bhaal library. it’s weeks before the favor is returned and enver receives a scroll about bhaalist marriage ceremonies. he doesn’t know whether to take it as an advance or a threat, so he accepts it as both.

My new therapist: your mental health isn’t perfect, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of :) if you broke your arm, you wouldn’t be ashamed of that
Me, internally: bold of you to assume I would be unashamed of a broken arm

1999 recording of noel playing the acoustic track for it's a crime, the unofficial name given to the demo that would eventually become let there be love.
the lyrics are completely different from the album version and they're pretty interesting, so i included them under the cut
Well you can say what you want
But you won't get a thing from me
And if you don't understand
That's it's not in your hands you need
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
But you can say what you feel
And it might never steal from me
And then you must understand
That it's all in your hands what you need
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
And I never knew
But all the thing's that you've done
Are coming right back to you
But everybody know's that it's no crime
But does it make you feel ashamed?
You never said what you done
And there's no need to blame
But everybody knows
Yeah everybody knows
Everybody knows that it's no crime
It's no crime
So you can say what you want
But you'll not get a thought from me
But if you say what you mean
Then you might get a thing from me
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
If I ever knew
That all the thing's I've thought
Are coming right back to you
But everybody thinks that it's a crime
It never makes you feel ashamed
You sit around and you sold
And then you're passing the blame
But everybody knows
Yeah everybody knows
Everybody knows that it's a crime
It's a crime
It's a crime
It's a crime

Rollers, this is the realest I’ll ever be,
I’m a listener only for jrwi, so I haven’t seen most of the new redesigns, and when I tell you Alphonze looking like THIS was a SHOCK TO ME
BUT THATS NOT THE WORST PART
I have been imagining this man from the start of him being in the series like THIS
THE FUCKING ROBOT FROM WILDCRATS IS ALL I COULD IMAGINE
OR
SOME SICK COMBINATION OF BIGWELD AND THOSE SHITS WITH COWBOY BS
Also additional note
This is what Ollie would look like on a piggy back ride from him. I will continue my Krattweld narrative but I had to share.

When I entered into the Invader Zim fandom in 2015, I remember being absolutely cringe and annoying to ship ZaDr. People would complain when others would call out the romantic tension between the two and use the creator as some sort of weapon to defend their opinion. “Jhonen would be embarrassed by this” and “Good thing the creator isn’t seeing this” were things often said to discourage people from enjoying the ship, as if it was a crime to like a fictional pairing for a show that was already over. What would also happen is people would use the “they hate each other” card to try to force other people to stop enjoying their parings. That was one I had to see a lot.
At the same time, we had other shows and series with rivals who were canonically paired together romantically (Danny Phantom, Gravity Falls, Ben 10, Teen Titans, iCarly) not to mention all the movies that came out years before any of this shows who showed the same dynamic, essentially being: enemies to lovers.
So, what was it about these shows that made their pairings acceptable while ZaDr shippers were shamed for liking it? Everyone knows the answer by now. All the other pairings were straight pairings.
It was okay for you to ship enemies to lovers, as long as it was a female/male relationship. The second you make it a gay or lesbian relationship, “but they hate each other”, “the creator would be disgusted by this”, “people always make everything about ships” and so on and so forth.
This was something that plagued me and followed me for years, even after I left the Invader Zim fandom, and it annoys me to this day that there are people who feel like I should be ashamed for liking a pairing just because they’re a gay couple (not that they’ll ever say that’s the reason they’re shaming you). I remember being paranoid every time I opened a ZaDr fanfic on wattpad out of curiosity, and even backing up those hurtful comments in fear of being discovered and isolated for liking a fictional pairing.
I recently fell back into the iz fandom and, oh boy, am I glad to be able to enjoy my shit without dealing with those stupid comments. Although they’re still around, it’s nice to be able to write and read about ZaDr without seeing those same complaints every single time. Things changed a lot in recent years and I’m glad we don’t get those hateful comments as frequently anymore. It was really upsetting getting bashed for liking a pairing that had the same dynamic as thousands of other pairings like it was my fault for receiving hateful comments in the first place.
There’s still a voice in my mind that nags me sometimes, specially when I look at old iz content and make the mistake of reading the comments, but I’m glad to say it’s much better now. I finally feel like I can enjoy the ships I like without needing to be afraid of backlash.

Gentle reminder to fanfic writers:
If you write a ‘happy ever after on Pabu’ story and do not include Echo in some way…
….YOU ARE A BAD PERSON.
Here he is fainting on the beach over how your parents failed you.
The man is the most selfless mothereffer in the whole franchise. Give him a happy ending!
