Here's an interesting similarity between Tak and Zim that I just realized.
Since Tak was never an Invader, she never officially received a Sir Unit. Given that it was heavily implied that she built her ship on Dirt, MiMi was most likely built there as well. GIR and MiMi were built with scrapped parts. Just like Zim, Tak probably developed some sort of attachment to MiMi because a machine just meant to assist her with the "mission" wouldn't have been given a name.
Honestly, Tak and Zim probably have more similarities and that's fucking hilarious to me.

Sometimes I wonder if Zim hiding in a toilet for a long time is actually a thing that Irkens do like he said or if it was Zim being Zim. Since Irkens don't sleep, I imagined it as some semi-hibernation thing without the rest? Like how elves in Dungeons and Dragons go through periods of deep meditation in place of sleep. Do Irkens have long periods of deep thought and scheming in a dark, confined space? I like to combine that with my headcanon that ancient Irkens lived in caves so that hiding in a dark space underground is a natural instinct and if not that, being underground might subconsciously be associated with smeethood and therefore comfort.

Random: Irkens are probably having their locations tracked 24/7 by the empire. via something stupidly unrelated. like an app for free slushies/snacks once a day.
or their SIR units.
Source; my family just tried to get me to install an app that tracks my location 24/7. it's a home security wifi doorbell...that wants to know my phone location.....24/7......

Quick question: Was the app called Ring by any chance? The app you described eerily sounds like an app my mom talked me into installing.

its so perfectly Irken to be tracking their people not by the absolutely required piece of tech strapped to their spines that they need to live but rather through an application so stupid and trivial

Of course the Irken government would track their people through a coupon app to save money on cheap useless stuff or a rewards app to get free snacks if you buy x amount of them or something dumb like that. Irken government: We're going to require you install this app where you can get deals on snacks ᵃⁿᵈ ᶦᵗ ᵐᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵇᵉ ᵗʳᵃᶜᵏᶦⁿᵍ ʸᵒᵘʳ ˡᵒᶜᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ ᴵ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ᵏⁿᵒʷ. Irken citizens: hehe yes food yumy
