sometimes creatures simply fail to thrive and expire at seemingly random. I used to live with dog breeders and have also been in situations where the ground was too hard to bury something, so there would be an animal in the freezer temporarily, the dog breeders had a big sprawling house and had managed to forget a freezer a room, when we were cleaning said room completely out, we opened it, it was full of.... creatures. tl;dr Smeets in the freezer....? Rest in peace Dib, for accidentally finding said freezer. (Above spoilers are for creature death/ mistreatment of a corpse.) Warning: smeets in refrigerators, child death, mentioned infanticide (but not really)
Smeets in the freezer would be extremely scientifically valuable for Dib. I think Zim and Skoodge wouldn’t really know what to do with an (Irken) corpse, especially a smeet corpse, and when someone does come in possession of a corpse with nowhere to put it, they tend to stick it in a box and try to forget about it. (Or at least, that’s usually the case with human corpses that you can’t call the morgue/authorities for). Of course, as scientifically useful as that would be, Dib’s probably going to be traumatized for life by opening a refrigerator or box of dead smeets and thinking Zim killed his own offspring (either out of malice or stress). If Dib did think that stress was the cause, he might blame himself for being too snoopy in Zim’s house and stressing him out.

the drama is piping hot... lol I tried to keep the melodrama out of my IZ fanworks because it didn’t fit the tone of the series, but it kept creeping back in. I’ve given up at this point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

I really, really, really want to do a fight scene with Red and Purple + their hoard of brats (except for Violet and Scarlet, they weren’t born yet) vs. Zim, Skoodge, and Tank. Or Kobi and Tank vs. Red and Purple

Oh!! Dib thinking Zim had killed his smeets could provide justification for Dib trying to kidnap Tank. Also, depending on how far along in development the dead smeets are, they could be small enough to diaphonize!

I have many feelings about Tyrian. Imagine being loved by your parents (as much as they can, anyway), constantly squabbling with six other siblings for their attention, and being told you could be something great one day, the greatest thing someone of your species can ever be...only to be dropped like hot garbage when you suddenly stop growing.
And those same parents invent a role for you where you do nothing but chop the heads off of and torture dissenters and stand painfully close to their thrones looking intimidating but never interacting with them because they can't figure out what to do with you.
And then they have more children, lavishing attention on them like they did with you before tossing them aside too. Your little brother dies. Your oldest sister and your father's relationship breaks down so badly they are pulling each other's guts out on the Judgementia floor. They both die. Your surviving father, always a little neurotic, gets worse. He constantly thinks his children are conspiring to kill him. You're busier than ever.
You do get to carry a big sword on your belt, though, something very few Irkens have done in hundreds of years. That's always nice. You hug the sword when you sleep and pretend it's one of your fathers' arms.

They also have a charm bracelet with little executioner's sword and noose charms. Also, they're the buffest one in the family, being more muscular than even Red and Purple when they were in the Elites, simply because of the massive strength you have to have in order to be an effective executioner. |

Tyrian has a really uncanny way of getting victims who were previously fighting, struggling, and crying to cooperate with their own executions. This is usually either saying, "I need you to cooperate. Stay still or I might miss.", or, *Oilvia d'Abo voice* "I'm not playing. Put. Your. Head. On. The. Block." You have to imagine them saying this without an ounce of malice in order to get the full picture. |

I really want Tyrian's sword to have an inscription as metal as "When I raise this sword, so I wish that this poor sinner will receive eternal life" while still keeping within Irken values. We'll see what happens. Since Tyrian is The Tallest’s personal executioner, maybe “The Hand of the Tallest” or, “No Will But Theirs”. Also, they’re the Control Brains’ favorite of the RAPR smeets, so as a callback to The Trial, “Prepare Yourself For All You Deserve”? |

I cannot emphasize enough the utter chaos on the Massive after Red and Purple's first batch of smeets. As soon as they were able to walk, they let the smeets run wild on the bridge of the Massive because they thought it was funny. They would get up on desks and refuse to move, attack holo displays, Navigators, and Service Drones, steal food right off the headtables of Service Drones and out of folks' hands, bite ankles and not let go, shred paperwork, get underfoot, climb up legs, chase laser pointers during briefings, bite computer console wires in half, and generally make a ruckus. After it wasn't funny anymore to even Red and Purple, they were allowed to run wild through the ship, which only allowed the problem to go somewhere Red and Purple didn't have to directly deal with it.
Why didn't they drop the smeets back off on Irk? They were too far away at the time, and if they had to turn the ship around for some stupid little smeets, what kind of always-go-straight despots are they? Plus, if they went back with their unexpectedly acquired little strangers in tow, AFTER the Florpus Disaster, they might get in trouble with the Control Brains. Best to put it off and conquer 20 more planets or so.

I love Kobi, but they've had more than a few foot-in-the-mouth moments in their life, ESPECIALLY when they first started working with the Resisty.

I’m thinking...and as much as I like to talk about Zim’s paternal instincts, Skoodge may have actually been the one Tank spent the most time with due to the fact that Zim is always involved in some hairbrained plot or another.

The Computer is kind of analogous to Tank’s grumpy 50-something grandpa or his snarky uncle.

Tank’s first name actually “Viral”, but he prefers to go by his middle name, “Tank”.
