Invader Zim is the villainous main protagonist of the 2001-2006 television series Invader Zim, and the main antagonist of the 2019 Netflix film Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus. Zim is a member of the alien Irken race and a former Irken Invader; however, since his actions usually lead to disaster (having nearly destroyed the Irken homeworld during Operation Impending Doom) his leaders, the Almighty Tallest, banished him to Foodcourtia. While there, however, Zim heard of Operation Impending Doom II, and - obviously not understanding the purpose of his previous exile - "quit being banished" and ventured to Conventia in the hope of getting an assignment. Chagrined, the Almighty Tallest sent him on a "secret mission" to Earth, in order to keep him occupied and away from the real Operation Impending Doom II. After arriving on Earth, Zim enrolled in the nearest elementary skool to begin his infiltration and gather information about the indigenous races. There, he became quick rivals with Dib Membrane. Zim's primary desire is to conquer Earth, mostly to prove his superiority and impress his leaders. ---invader zim wiki
though invader zim ran from 2001-2006, i only even knew about invader zim in around 2020, one year after invader zim: enter the florpus came out. i originally heard about the show on tiktok and how it was seemingly "made for neurodivergent people" (i can confirm it was in fact made for me) and saw the following it had. it wasn't until mid 2023 i decided to watch it and let me just say, it changed me as a person. i am not the same person i was before i watched this show. (and the movie. and read the comics) i know that's really silly of me to say considering that this is a kids show, but it's true. i learned a lot about myself during late 2022-early 2023 and i think this show helped me find out who i am. but maybe that's ust me overanalyzing things. after all, this is LITERALLY an old kids show.
the moment i watched invader zim, i immediately got hooked on the show, and especially this little goober right here! i started to see myself in him, which led me to becoming a fictionkin and now i have memories of being him and i also adopted some of his mannerisms. i think he's super adorable!! i love him a lot in a sadistic and fucked up way, but i also care about him you know? not just him of course, i love the entire show in general and hyperfixated on it for a while,,, almost a year now. hooray!!! ☆+:.。.o( > ▽ < )o.。.:*☆ i could ramble about him for HOURS AND HOURS ON END but unfortunately there is a limit to how much i can say so.. 9999999999/10 i loved the show, movie, and this little guy who lives off of junk food (he just like me fr)
