Cute lil' image there love.

I hope this doesn't sound to preachy of me, ya know, I recently came across this "ZADR" business on other sites, after you introduced me to it, here. I have to say, it's amazing just how much negativity the concept gets.... appalling, really. I mean, *points at your new image* That's adorable! Two cute lil' gay boys together there, or, two lovers united under duress of adversity, however ya wanna see it. *big eyes, exasperated* What's not to like about that?! It's such a beautiful concept, in and of itself!

Yes, I know they're enemies in the series. Yes, absolute opposites, etc. etc. and? Zim's debateably over a hundred and Dib might be a teenager at best,(depending upon how you view the wording of a few things in the show and allow for Dib to age a bit), they've no reason to fall for each other, blah blah yadda yadda... fine. I believe that's why it's called "fanfiction", as it's "fiction" written by a "fan" of the series. And just judging by many of my own relationships, people do this thing over many years called "changing", particularly as they move from youth into adulthood. They examine themselves and the world around them as they realize their place in it is changing with their aging, social pressures demand new responsibilities of them, as do economic strains and they develop into adulthood. They sometimes even explore *gasps* ''alternate sexualities" and discover their feelings for other beings aren't constrained by the social norms regarding their respective bits... or maybe they are out of spite, I'unno. And many time people are especially want to grow emotionally attached to people they are involved in highly intense situations with, emotional projection, emotional displacement- which can just be a state of high tension and confusion, or it can be masking something deeper...

Okay, I'm rattling, *raises a digit pointedly* but the point I'm making is valid. Zim and Dib have actually more reason to become involved romantically by their (Dib's) teen years than most characters in movies and television do, just by basis of severely intense situations shared coupled with both of their failed aspirations and obsessions.

Again, I'm rattling. *sips her coke, red-faced* I'm sorry. I'll shaddup now.

You ma'am have a bunch of good points, seriously. It's a good point. Zim and Dib are likely enemies in the show, but sometimes... they just have some gay moments in it as well. Even the creator of the show finally admitted that he now ships ZaDr. From this one unaired episode, called 'Mopiness of Doom', it makes fans squeel over it because of how romantic it gets at the end. It's like Dib misses Zim and Zim misses Dib in the show but also... Thank you this drawing took so long to finish xD

Well, thank you, m'dear. I have just watched con footage of the reading of 'Mopiness of Doom' and that... *giggles* THAT was great.

You know, I've never seen Jhonen Vasquez' opinion on the notion of ZADR, but knowing his near-sexual enjoyment of turning the social normality and conventional upon it's ear, I could imagine he'd probably support it. Once Invader Zim started gaining a cult following, I could imagine it gave him mixed feelings of enjoying his success and loathing becoming the popular icon.

Jhonen is a genius xD He is totally my inspiration. I love the show and the comic 'Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.' best comic ever, it's pretty funny but still dark humor is great. Mopiness of Doom is one of my favorite shows, even if it wasn't unaired. I love it because of how sad it feels later on.
