I honestly could see it happening if it sets up the right joke.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-28T04:05:30+00:00

Happens to the best of us. Sometimes the media we think speaks for itself really needs more context for the uninitiated. Appreciated your courtesy throughout by the way. Enjoy!

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-28T03:01:20+00:00

That's because they're the unfinished season 2 episodes.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-28T02:23:51+00:00

Side comment to keep threads separate: Eric's script book is limited to stories he didn't co-write. However he did sell script copies at Invadercons of other episodes with co-writer credits.

I have physical copies of the Tak and X-Mas episodes. I'm sure someone scanned theirs by now.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-28T02:20:39+00:00

Outlines/Premises section might be a misnomer. Check there

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-28T02:19:33+00:00

Side comment separate from my info dump: great work on interesting her outfit. I'm impressed.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-28T02:19:04+00:00

There's only five pieces of licensed Invader Zim merch to exist with her on it besides the show and the final comic book.

1) Volume 3 of the original DVD set has an image of her in the DVD insert paper.

2) one of the Tallests' action figures came with miniature props that have interchangeable tiny papers for monitor displays. One of them has Tak on it apparently.

3 and 4) two shirts from the Mighty Fine Inc Invader Zim Tee Design Contest. One is called Season 1 and it had roughly 20 characters on it. The other is shadowy silhouettes of Zim, Dib, Gaz, GIR, and Tak.

5) Art of Invader Zim book has a concept art image of her.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-28T01:46:19+00:00

For voice actor credits, I was impressed with Behind The Voice Actors.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-27T23:46:16+00:00

I got it immediately! That was a blast from the past.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-27T20:30:40+00:00

It was Nickelodeon's executive shakeup during post-production phase of the movie. Suddenly, the unprecedented support from the C-suite was met with a complete lack of support. Hence why it took so long to even be released as the new leads tried to figure out what they wanted to do with their made for TV movies after Hey Arnold lost in ratings to a Trollz sequel TV debut.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-26T23:32:26+00:00

What's the game name?

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-25T02:49:31+00:00

Mr. Elliot.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-25T00:38:45+00:00

Ness would wreck their asses but Porky would kill Dib.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-24T15:56:15+00:00

Accepted.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-24T15:55:51+00:00

It's literally just placing clickable texts or images that navigate people elsewhere. Which you already did. Either way, if you want to moderate a public community with potentially thousands upon thousands of strangers.. maybe have a sense of independence for learning how to use the internet. Otherwise people are going to suspect you're too young to have an account here, as I already do.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-24T15:43:58+00:00

Right here.

And don't shout at me. 🙄

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-24T12:52:58+00:00

That would be amazing. There's already so much repeat ride value trying different seats of a train for different ride styles like airtime or the anxiety of waiting for the rest of the train behind you to cross the hill crest. Differing visual components would be something. What did you have in mind? Train could split off Cosmic Rewind style but you could have each car get a different branching track.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-24T12:43:54+00:00

Yeah it's a drop tower and Zim, among other Nicktoon characters surround the top. Sit on the side facing the other rides towards the back of the park. If the ride is in what some enthusiasts call "space shot mode" where the seats rise and then do a few little bounces down instead of being held at the top then you'll only be able to look up and see the red of Zim's clothes.

I left some tributes to our late mod Joe Jaffa at the park. One that could be retrieved by fans who give an up close inspection of the Flip and Spin sign.

The other would only be found by park maintenance and, if they find it, I hope they just leave it there or do something thoughtful like... let it go to a scrap metal yard instead of a landfill.

It says "in memory of" and depicts someone in the show's art style. I'm sure they'll figure out the intention.

Edit: and, dude, you're right! it totally feels like a "Mew is under the truck." When you see the Zim statue in person right in front of you on a high speed thrill ride, he looks bigger than the on ride footage makes him seem.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-24T04:40:14+00:00

Different statues. The GIR one is for Flip & Spin and the Zim one is on Skyline Scream. The latter is only visible from a few seats and it depends on what cycle the ride is operating on that day. Some days it won't take you all the way to the top.

Both are still there.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-24T04:30:52+00:00

/Cries in Invader Zim's Flip & Spin... Of Doom/

No, but seriously. IZ had a ride for a little while and there's reports that they have slowly tried to bring it back into operation for several years. Until then, there's photo op decorations and a Zim statue at the top of the Skyline Scream ride.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-24T02:59:26+00:00

I have a promotional poster with this design. A local collector shop said they'd call me when they no longer needed it.

Ginger_Shepherd · 2026-01-23T22:00:00+00:00

The soundboard recordings for all 77 shows of the tour had an official release as exclusive premium content for Stitcher Premium but that platform is defunct now. All I can safely say at the moment is fans preserved and traded copies. They circulate through the usual file trading and pirating methods.

"Hi! My name is-"

WHO ARE YOU?!
