What do you think Zib would have been like if he had been introduced in the show? Do you think he would have been different or pretty much the same?

Idk just something I’ve been thinking about lately :/

Pretty much the same I think.

This might be weird to say coming from me..

Especially since I'm friends/aquantiences with a lot of the Zib squad.

While Zib's fandom interpretations and aus are a whole hell of a lot of fun...and I do enjoy them a lot and I enjoy bastard Tumblr sexy man disaster Zib....

I kinda always prefer the canon Zib the most.

Well, at least his canon age.

HE IS TWELVE

At least, he's exactly the same age as Dib.

I think there are really more interesting character possibilities to explore through the lens of child psychology and a child character.

Like extremely low empathy, lots of unanswered questions about his family, the confidence in which he tells blatant lies towards Dib to just gain his trust.

I feel like everyone is real quick to age up a character to a teenager or their own age just because they relate to that plight more and it's easier to self project to a 20-something rather then an actual twelve year old boy.

But for me personally, the fact that Zib created a system that completely only benefits him and was planning to wipe out all Zims from multiple realities posing as a number one Zim and did all this when he was just a child and lost his family, and apparently seems to not care about humanity and is completely dissallsioned with humans at such a young age is what is the most facinating to me.

And it's pretty common behavior for kids who grew up in neglectful or abusive households to view humanity like this.

Like we don't know entirely what happened to Zib's family. All we know is that Zib defeated Zim and they didn't care. And that's all we got. It's all up to personal interpretation on the events that actually transpired.

My personal headcanon is that Zib's family was worried about his declining mental health rather then whatever alien corpse he was shoving in their face. Cause Dib is thickheaded and can't see past his own truth.

Also, Zib was really overjoyed to see a Dib in the Zimvoid. I don't think that was an act. Zib felt alone and surrounded by Zims he hates, he probably really thought that a Dib would be the only one who understands and gets him, and that crushing betrayal when he finds that Dib is just like "other humans" aka: his family.

Yeah, I don't think I'll ever personally write a story about Zib.

But if I ever get around to making like the two (technically three) animatics I have in my head, you can guarantee he's just going to be a dumb kid who got in way over his head with a fiercely independent streak and a warped sense of justice.

So basically, the Zimvoid arc will probably be adapted like how the Florpus started out as an adaptation of the first comic issue, before detatching from the rails and doing it's own thing

#invader zim #zib #danachan's asks #danachan's replies #danachan's rants #those who make any zib content at all: ur valid as all hell and ilu

I listened to Hamilton for the first time the other night. When asked what I thought of it on twitter, I said it was interesting, that I wasn’t sure if I was as fussed about it as everyone else was, but I liked it a lot.

I was trying to keep it to one tweet. So I worry that my use of the word "interesting" was underestimated, that I was just trying to find something to say about it. But I meant it, I thought it was very interesting. I want to believe that this telling was as true as it could be told, without much hyperbole while also having to take educated liberties. And I'll also allow for a few evidence-lacking assumptions, mostly about the relationships between the people the show focuses on and some unknowable scenes, for the sake of a more emotionally moving story. This happened so long ago that you could argue that it's as much of a story now as it is factual history. And so, I'll really be talking about everything in terms of what the story of the story of the musical told me, going forward. Please, if you're thinking "well this part or aspect wasn't really all that historically accurate," I don't care, as far as this particular post goes.

I've seen people express discomfort about LMM's "weird" obsession with Hamilton, the person, but I personally doubt it goes that far? Listen. You hear about a guy who openly and in detail shared all the info about his affair and you kinda gotta start to wonder, what kind of person DOES that? And like I said, this is all very interesting. Hamilton was a fascinating person. I would describe him as an intellectual prodigy, extremely passionate and driven to do the most he could with the time he had. And prideful to a deep fault. Like seriously, "Nobody calls Alexander Hamilton chicken!" For someone who could be so influential and brilliant, he seemed to lack social grace and tact when he needed it the most (the Reynold Pamphlet). He seemed to see the world in a particular way, and surly so could everyone else and if they couldn't he couldn't understand them. God. Thinking about my own life and my absence of drive and ambition, looking at his is absolutely marveling. It's like the song says, the man was Non-Stop.

Thematically, it's sooo interesting, the contrast between Ham and Burr. They were colleagues who had common factors in their backgrounds, both incredibly smart, and had somewhat similar goals; to see the war won, to study law and find a way to take part in building the new nation. And they were polar opposites. Ham pushed forward and spoke up, Burr held back and observed. Ham always anounced what he believed in, Burr always stayed reserved. (Fuck you, I know I'm thinking in rhyme, I need you to excuse me because I've been listening to these songs for the past 24 hours as of this moment, thanks) It's like. Themeatic or something. I think it's really interesting.

Ham and Angelica's relationship was also really interesting. Like?? Ham obviously cared for Eliza, she's wonderful, how could you not but also, there was this...Thing, with Ange and Alex. They loved each other, but not in a secret affair way, there seemed to be absolutely no potental for that at all. It was like, they had an understanding. Ange wanted him, but her duty as the oldest meant she couldn't have him because he wasn't wealthy. Alex seemed like he ideally would have perfered her because of their stronger intelectual connection and shared nature, but he wasn't going to turn down Eliza, presumably beautiful kind and most importantly, rich and had an important family. So facinating, this strange mutual love and understanding. Also Congratulations is one of my favorite songs, bdue to how Ange tears him a new one, and how she sings about Eliza. God, I'm tearing up thinking about it again, how she talked about how you'd never meet anyone as trusting or as kind, how much she loves Eliza more than anything in her life and how she'll choose her happiness over her own everytime and "she's the best thing in our lives" GOD. And just hearing Angelica pause and quietly say "sacrifice?" is enough to make me start crying everytime because what Alexander did wasn't sacrifice, he was just misplacing his priorities. I actually only found this song so quickly because i as looking for Hamilton animatics on yourube, haha. And I found thE BEST ONE for this song, the drawings are SO expressive and real, it's great.

I almost wasn't sure if, when Philip died I would cry because i could sense it was coming and I thought i would be too angry to be sad but ohh ho ho, no no. Dummy. Man, There were parts where I cried like a baby. I listened to some songs again yesterday that didn't make me cry the first time but did on the second listen.

I thought it was interesting that...like going back again to how much Ham pushed himself forward, it was almost like he could sense his life would be cut short and he had to make up for time he would lose

It's interesting that if Ham and Burr had taken just a little more of each others advice, I don't know who might have benifited more. If Burr had been just a little more outspoken and willing to show what his colors really were, Ham might have supported his election. If Ham had a little more thought of when to keep his mouth shut, he might have never told anyone about his affair and the reynolds pamphlet might not have happened.

I think I've done all the babbling I can now. Hamilton is good.
