Tank tried to pretend he didn't feel anything. Then it turned out he felt a lot, intensely. He's like his fathers in that way.

Tank was physically smaller and younger than most of his classmates, both in Skool and in the Elites. As you can imagine, he had a bit of a tough time and was often scrambling to catch up to his classmates developmentally in Skool. He is SO lucky he inherited Zim's child prodigy tendencies.

HHHH I really want to develop my hypogean Irkens into a full-blown society with clothes and tools.
I am researching caving clothes as we speak.

The idea of GIR’s nickname for Tank being “Tankie” is making me giggle uncontrollably. Also, when Tank was a smeet, the equivalent of a cradle that Zim and Skoodge used for him was a shoebox. It was exactly as adorable as you were thinking.

I think I shall give Tank and Garnet a homoerotic rivalry during Elite training. What's a little mud wrestling with your rival between the boys?

I just thought of the funniest thing: what if the reason the RAPR kids tend to be more responsible than their parents is because Red and Purple took just enough responsibility as parents to train their kids to be responsible...so they didn't have to do any more work! With all their kids in the army or important government positions, they have to more time to snack, blow stuff up, and hang out with each other looking cool.

I think it would be hilarious if in several thousand years if some Irken laid claim to the throne of Almighty Tallest through descent from Kobi and Tank. There's just one problem: Tank and Kobi mutually agreed not to have any children, but they lived so far out in the galaxy that no one other than them knew they agreed that.

Warning: pregnancy implied I have an explanation for why Red and Purple kept having all those kids, especially since there were more kids than they probably wanted. It isn’t a happy one, though.
Basically, they did it both because of political pressure and as a PR move, kind of. During the Florpus, Irk lost a good chunk of its armada, and therefore, its population. If Red and Purple keep having children, it at least looks like they’re doing something to make up for what they lost.
GUH, I really want to write a scene where Red and Purple arrive back on Irk (or Judgementia, maybe) and have to present their first batch of smeets before the Control Brains so they can decide whether the smeets live or die. The boys are tying to hold on to the most wriggly smeets, while the others scuttle around their feet. The smeets sense that something is wrong from the reactions of their parents, but they can’t figure out what. Maybe the smeets try to hide behind Red and Purple’s legs or under their skirts, but they won’t let them hide and pull the right back out into the open or nudge them with their feet.

Now that I think about it, the smeets don’t fit into the traditional dichotomy of “normal”/Defective since they don’t have PAKs. Would they even do the whole “access memories to see if Defective” thing? We’ve seen Zim use simulations to figure out whether Dib did something, and there’s the brain copier in Takship-maybe they use something similar? Red and Purple were totally holding their favorite smeets while the rest scuttled around on the ground. Also, I’m trying to decide whether Red and Purple should get existence evaluated themselves. Warning: Pregnancy implied (again) If they do, they’ll undoubtedly be found Defective themselves due to their actions during the Florpus + reproductive controls on their PAKs breaking due to the Florpus.
However, wouldn’t it be funny if that was indeed the case and the Control Brains let them off with a warning because they’re so tall and easy to manipulate? (Plus, there’s an archaic law that allows Tallests to have children, so they technically weren’t breaking any laws there),

And not just "raise". The Control Brains' explicit words were "good future subjects for the Empire" and "leaders"...meaning they would actually have to put in EFFORT.

Among the many faults of both Red and Purple as parents are: 1. They only provide emotional support when they want to, not necessarily when you need it. 2. They play favorites. 3. They play favorites, and will pit you against your siblings for attention. 4. Red, especially is yelly. He's more of an angry soccer coach than a parent when he's trying to teach you something.
I do not envy the smeets when he was trying to teach them how to fight or fly.

Dib actually made a rocking chair for Zim and Skoodge when Tank was a baby. It was very comfy.

Dib actually made a rocking chair for Zim and Skoodge when Tank was a baby. It was very comfy. Zim was suspicious of it at first, but eventually settled into it. One of Tank’s favorite memories is sitting on Skoodge’s knee while Zim sat on the arm of the chair and told him stories.
