While we’re on the topic of theories that have no canon lore behind them because of inconsistent canon, what’s some ones that you all have?

i also hc that the most common irken accent is the equivalent of a british or posh accent bc i think it would be funny

I just can't really see irkens paying taxes, so a lot of it is from aliens visiting Irken controlled planets like that. There probably is a planet that's just one big theme park. Even if most irken don't use it, it makes a lot of $$

Even if most irken don't use it, it makes a lot of $$I think that as a main good that Irkens can sell, food is a large one. Foodcourtia alone definitely racks up a significant amount of monies, especially during the Foodening. I also get those vibes because its repeatedly shown how fixated Irkens are on food, but I wonder if there's also a cultural aspect to it? However, I also think that Irkens may sell the resources they drain from other planets after conquering them. Irkens wouldn't be able to benefit from more polluted planets, but they could sell the resources to alien races who can withstand it. Like, Earth's water is too dangerous for Irkens but it's essential for a lot of lifeforms here and definitely some in space as well.

HELP the first image that popped into my head were irken's just selling marked up water bottles dsjafkj Like,, on the complete other side of the universe, you have irkens just trying to sell whatever resources they got from the last planet they conquered. Like a door-2-door salesman but for planets.

I wonder if the Empire offers conquest and resource delivery as a service because they have infrastructure that can be rapidly deployed on any new planet they want.

off topic, but I've been thinking about it for a while: human au TAK, but she's just really good at building pcs and such. Like,, MiMi's just her super cool gamer pc that she found in the trash + then added a bunch of really cool specs. This would make GIR ZIM's really shitty pc, but he refuses to give it away bcuz it was a gift + now he's attached lmao
