Zimtober 2022, Day 6: Swap

Exactly this! On top of having ADHD and autism, I have severe anxiety. So, I’m afraid to even TELL people not to jokingly make fun of my interests. I told my best friend about my hyperfixation (special interest? eh, I can’t tell the difference anymore) on Invader Zim and she made fun of it. “Really? You’re still obsessed with that show? The show that ended YEARS ago? It’s kind of cringe now looking back at it.” When I tried to explain (and tried to ignore her calling it “cringe”) that there’s still new content to consume like the movie that came out in 2019, the comics, fan art, fanfics, etc. I then got made fun of for reading/writing fanfics. When she noticed I was upset she was like “Aw, come on! You know I’m kidding!” Do I? Do I know that? Now I’m afraid to even SHARE my interests with people. I don’t talk about it anymore, and if I find someone with the same interests, I’m still anxious talking about it in fear of being judged.

So, please, think before you speak. Words really do affect people, even if you think it’s a “joke.”

ok not to be adhd on main but if you even JOKINGLY make fun of me for my interests thats it. i wont ever be able to trust you again because im positive youre constantly judging me and making fun of me behind my back. thats just the way it is!!

I found really old Invader Zim fanart I did 😭

Dib seeing a cloud

I love the Irken purring head canon, especially while they sleep instead of snoring.

I also like to think that their antenna twitch when they’re dreaming.

Basically I love the idea of feral little war beast becoming snoozy cozy bug bean

ya know what I mean

Okay, so I’m doing an “experiment.” I have done another Zim page to see if it is stolen again lmao

Here is the page ~

Terrible, I know. If I do not have an eraser, it’ll turn out BAD. So, I wanna see if my art is specifically “targeted” or if it was an accident or just,,, I dunno. I thought it would be fun.

I’m thinking about drawing tiny lil doodles (not just of Zim, just random lil things) that have positive messages on them! I’ll have ‘em in a lil pile that says “take one!”

I find it absolutely hilarious that, at my therapy place, there is a sketchbook to doodle in. I doodled some (pretty bad) IZ doodles in it and SOMEONE STOLE IT! Why??? Out of all the pages to steal, you stole THAT?

You stole THIS?

WHY?!

Huh?

I’m still elated over the fact that someone complimented… that… Person, whoever you are, I love you. 💕

This is so damn cute! (And so well animated! Animating is so hard.)

two idiots first time holding hands :3

I am CRYING OVER A DAMN DOORKNOB??? HUH???
