Zimverse art! This ISN’T T5-6 this is U5-4! He is from the next universe over!

He is often confused for T5-6 (The Zim to End all Zim’s or the most dangerous Zim.) which often spooks other AWOL/Self aware Zims, Zibs, Dibs, etc. However, he is shorter but older than T5-6 by a few years. He is somewhere in the late 20s range.

U5-4’s Nickname among the Zimverse is ‘Another Average Zim’ or later in the timeline ‘The Glitched Collector’

On the Zimverse scale he is middle to lower middle rank while T5-6 is number one. (Zimverse rank is calculated by AWOL individuals in the ‘AWOL Hotel’ pocket universe. Upon a timeline being created (aka a new Zim comes into existence) the shock by a Zim’s pak upon activation is recorded and charted) He is one of the most average Zims made, he has no particular purpose, he is extremely defective and was tossed to the side for being bad luck and whatnot. So he aligns much more closely to OG Zim than T5-6 despite their physical resemblance.

This is him and Zim 2 (A friend’s Zim from their AU)

He gets overly protective of the other Zim upon meeting under some particular circumstances.

Zim 2 is a little fluffy guy <3

My vision with this is that Zim2 builds a portal whatever things and then gets zib cause they just left my bro alone and they are partners in crime 👍

Hey, sorry for the random ask-- You're the only alternate Zim I know. Have you ever wondered why there's.. Multiple of all of us? Like, I have my own Zim watching over my shoulder as I type this. (He's mad that you get to be tall and he doesn't.) And I'm pretty sure I've spoken with your Dib. The one with piercings?

I'unno, it's just kinda weird and I wanted to say something about it to someone who might not call me crazy.

It's not crazy! It's actually explained in the movie and comics, multidimensional stuff is very regularly explored in this fandom. Believe it or not, in an irken sense, im married irl to yet another Zim, and a Tak. /gen. It just happens. Theres many of us and i honestly love finding more and more, especially when so far everyone has been generally kind and good!

Also sorry i get to be tall lol! My pak was broken and interfered with by the tallest and the resisty helped me program it differently, and then me and Dib eventually got it to where i didn't need it to live.

Our Dib says hello in headspace!

#we've started using nicknames to differentiate us 💀☠ #i go by Bean more often irl than zim or my legal body name. its hilarious to me. bean has meaning to it tho #zimverse #zim fictive #invader zim #osdd #actually plural #asks #answers #zims stink #not-dibshit

The Triumphant Return Of Zanzo Headcanons...

Or is it? 😉

Woe, Hi-Fi Rush Roleplay Server Zanzo be upon ye! *Everything in canon plus my earlier headcanons still apply, this is just for information specific to him*

Motozawa Zanzo, "Zim"

🍍 The epitome of "Sinnamon Roll". He's a (kind of?) sweetheart but he keeps causing problems for everyone

Sometimes I worry I play him too soft & sensitive but that's nbd

🍍 The other Zanzos in the server gave him his nickname (There are multiple timelines converging together in the Vandelay Forums. Makes for fun times 🙂)

🍍Zim Capitalizes Every Word He Types. unless he's feeling sad/insecure, then he goes lower case

Backstory Related

🍍 This man is trans! He'd been living in stealth for decades before coming out in the Forums

🍍Zim looked into Project Armstrong on his own time while recovering in the hospital from canon events. He didn't get far with it

🍍He tried to teach Zimverse!Kale the Torture Dance sometime in the past. Efforts were unsuccessful

🍍While I have mentioned him being in court before in RP, the reason was because he participated in a joyride as a teenager. Some questionable friends persuaded him to steal the Motozawas' car and they crashed it into a warehouse. Zim's dad sat with him in the courtroom for the trial- did not reduce his anxiety about the whole ordeal. This event led to a greater rift growing between Zim and his family

Romance Related

🍍He crushes hard on Macaron. If Mac wasn't his boss, he'd be more open about it

🍍Zim has had, at most, five long term partners overall, including Violet. Most of them... weren't great. He's also had multiple short term relationships, which I won't elaborate on, but they were 🌶️spicy🌶️

🍍He often avoids PDA because of both his variable tolerance for physical touch and the culture he grew up in. He is also touch starved and almost constantly craves physical contact

🍍Zim loves imagining his partners dressed in different outfits, including maid uniforms. Not necessarily a kinky thing but it can skew that way

Random Fun Facts

🍍Loves Halloween And Spicy Food. He likes citrus desserts, especially lemon flavored things. No Liquorice for him (black liquorice). He likes pineapple on pizza, mushrooms are a "no". Vandelay Island tap water tastes weird to him

🍍He's been into robotics since he was five. Snakes, worms, and slugs are his current favorite animals among several others

🍍Superfan of a virtual pop star named Natsume Miso (wonder who that's a reference to 😆). He's currently revamping a project to make her "real".

🍍In addition to his own plushies and various figures + model kits (Miso being among them), Zanzo owns Tetsuo the sensory slug (gift from Violet) and a plush octopus named Tako-san. He owned a green wiggle worm named Midori in childhood; Bullies flushed it down the toilet :(

🍍Favorite scent is new model kit/figure, so basically plastic

🍍The idea of no clipping out of reality freaks him out

🍍His favorite horror media tend to involve either body horror or aliens

🍍He's drawn sparkle dogs before

🍍Birds attack his neurals

🍍He has burn scars from spilling ramen noodle cups on himself. (Mainly on his torso since getting prosthetics.) Poor motor and impulse control make for struggles.

🍍Not mentioned in RP, but he owns chewelry in various geeky themes. He exclusively uses them in the privacy of home

🍍 He is also known to view anime through 🏴‍☠️certain avenues🏴‍☠️. He first learned about it from anime forums, since he couldn't always watch his favorite shows on regular television and was too broke to buy physical media sets. The latter detail isn't so much of an issue since working for Vandelay (he buys LOTS of merch), but old habits die hard

So in the Zimverse Irkens are supposed to be so self-absorbed they can't think of anything beyond their own immediate gratification. Irkens don't have sex organs so they don't fuck in order to gratify themselves, there's no romance because there's no love, and the closest thing to friendship is just mutually beneficial temporary arrangements and maybe the attachment one feels for an object in their possession. Irkens seem to be aware that other species have love and sex and families, but it's not a part of their society, it's something "base" that only lesser species indulge in. So an Irken having any kind of relationship, even one with just a platonic or familial type of affection, would seem like an aberration in their culture. So it's not really hard to see how an LGBT storyline would fit within the world of Invader Zim. Like, you would barely even have to change anything to fit the context. You could just have two Irkens holding hands and it wouldn't feel like a hamfisted metaphor if another Irken acted just as scandalized as real-world homophobes because it totally fits within the established lore.

So what if say, after Invader Tenn's mission in Megadoomer was ruined she was captured and imprisoned, and after Tak's plan to steal Zim's mission failed and she got lost in space she ended up in the same prison. They individually manage to contact the Tallest for help but the Tallests' attitude is that if they can't break out on their own they were never worthy of being Invaders and therefore not worth their time to rescue. Tak and Tenn find each other and learn that they were both left to rot and decide to team up and escape. They bond over feeling betrayed by their leaders, mutual respect for each other's talents, resentment for losing out on their dream jobs due to circumstances that weren't their fault, and a mutual dislike of Zim for having his incompetence rewarded while they had to work for everything they got, only to have it taken away in an instant.

Some time after escaping prison Tak and Tenn come to Earth to get revenge on Zim. Zim doesn't understand why Tenn is helping Tak at first. He assumes that Tenn must be jealous that the Tallest gave him the Megadoomer she wanted or that she must be benefiting in some way from her alliance with Tak. He cannot comprehend what Tenn means when she says she's doing it because making Tak happy will make her happy. It isn't until Tenn is put into a vulnerable position and Tak surrenders to save her that it starts to click for Zim that they're in love, even if the idea is shocking beyond belief. How could another Irken matter more to Tak than her own ambitions? How could Tak's ambitions matter more to Tenn than her own safety? It just does not compute. But Dib gets it, and not only does he get it, he gets how special it is if Tak and Tenn can feel something like that for each other if it's really as rare and abnormal as Zim's making it out to be. So Dib's ready to just let them go if they promise never to come back and threaten the earth again.

The experience leaves an impact on Zim. He wants to think that he's normal by his species standards. He says Irkens aren't supposed to have friends and points out that Dib doesn't have any either. But Dib does have his family and can't imagine how shallow and meaningless life would be if he really didn't have anyone at all who mattered to him. Zim insists that attachments just create liabilities while Dib says they make life worth living.

Zim goes through a sort of gay panic where he starts pushing GIR and Minimoose and Skoodge away to prove that he, like all good Irken citizens, is devoid of attachments. He tries to convince himself that he only thinks of GIR and Minimoose as possessions he takes pride in or of Skoodge or Dib as people he sometimes likes having around to appreciate how amazing he is. But overtime he learns to accept himself as a queer Irken who cares about others and craves genuine companionship and that a lot of his dysfunctional behavior came from trying to deny that part of himself.

7, 21 and 18 for the ask iz thing?

IZ ASK

7: Favorite fanfiction? My current favorite fanfic isn't actually a zadr fic or anything but one that delves into Zims psyche in this gut wrenchingly brutal and downright insidious look into irken mental health. It's fucking amazing, if you have a stomach for tragedy PLEASE go read HONESTY HOUR A close second for me is IF YOU SHOULD BEG which is classic phenomenal enemies to lovers zadr

18: Least favorite thing about Invader Zim? Aside of Jhonens funny little fandom destroying trollings, the comics/the new Dib. My favorite iteration of IZ will always be anything made pre-2015. Although, there are some cool concepts explored in the comics, such as the Zimverse, and the Gargantus array, and that thing with the multiple vortian brains plugged into that irken scientist? Sick shit. Anyway, i preffer when IZ is geared towards horror/tragicomedy , moreso than scifi slapstick. It's a picky balance i know, but it makes me happy 21: Any parts of show that actually scare you? Absolutely nothing scares me in Invader Zim. (Outside of it getting a woobie modern reboot where everyone loves eachother in a friendship type way. Also Florpus Dib. Also Clembrane. )

Hey a new Dib!!! Have you met anyone from the zimverse yet? All I know is that the Keefs are weird, the Zibs are weird, the Dibs are also weird lmao and the Zims are cool. Are you another weird Dib?

I don't think anyone is NOT weird. I'm weird but it's not like I really care what anyone thinks of me anymore. And no- I haven't met anyone in the "Zimvoid" but I've seen them around. Does anyone know why everyone is mean to that one Keef? He seems like a nice fellow. Odd- but as is everyone.

This is Nettle she is a Tak from a universe that no longer exists. (This is a doodle done in a few minutes)

She isn’t supposed to be alive but lived because her Zim gave his pak to her. She is now considered a Zim despite her still retaining her Tak memories, personally, etc. She occupies the pak with fragments of her Zim.

She couldn’t save her Gaz, Dib, Zim, or anyone from her universe as it crumbled. She isn’t very high on the zimverse power ranking, but she holds a unique ability to stitch together universes that are falling apart and to rewrite the course of fate.

While she isn’t powerful, she sure is important.

The specific phrasing of "Bologna DNA" in Bolognius Maximus implies that in the Zimverse, balogna isn't just ground pork sausage. If it was, Dib would have transformed into a pig.

Instead, it implies that bologna is a unique organism with its own genetic makeup and I don't know how to feel about that
