WAITING IN THE WINGS // INVADER ZIM ANIMATIC

Story Summary: Zim snaps finally after the Tallest cut all contacts. So he does the only thing he can do, devise a plan that will surely earn the respect of his tallest, finally putting aside whatever human emotions that Earth infected him with to finally once and for all take over earth.
I have a group of animatics sitting on my iPad, made each at separate times and out of order that for some reason I haven’t posted. Like why? Anyways I’ll be posting those in order but be warned, some art is pretty old. By old I mean like a month or two but a lot has changed. (Cough, quality, cough).
School thought has me tied to a pole when it comes to doing art. Find myself constantly busy. So a lot of stuff I want to do is taking longer than usual. So I’m not investing much time into this. Though I recently gained access to Adobe Animate which is fun. Hopefully I can do something presentable there.
Anyways, make sure to follow me on Instagram, I’m most active there. I also have a tumblr but I don’t really post there. Usernames at the end of the video. Last but not least, thank you all watching this and the great feedback I got last video. Wasn’t expecting that many people to actually watch and like the video. I enjoyed doing that and might even make more with the AU and expand because I genuinely enjoyed it. Thanks for being here with me and supporting me through my art journey. Make sure to stay safe out there and keep being classy.

Fan idea for the reprise. What if Zim saw security footage of the Tallest purposely sabotaging his pack to make him defective? And he realizes he was meant to be a Tallest himself? Then he swears vengeance on the whole of the Irken race for this betrayal?

[@violetmiller-wuest8905]

That sounds so awesome and cool and original, and like the kind of story I and meany others fans would get hooked on instantly.

[@jagirl966]

@@nyarlathotep9622 yeah. Maybe have Zim and Dib team up to take them out?

[@nyarlathotep9622]

@@jagirl966 Nice, but by following the idea of the song, Dib would be stoping Zim taking the place of Rapunzel. I don't know though XD The more I write the cringier it sounds, I'll stop

[@jagirl966]

@@nyarlathotep9622 or we see the Tallest have had enough and decide to destroy Earth to get rid of Zim once and for all, since he found out the truth. Maybe have one Irken, who is maybe high up in the chain, but captive, be on Zim's side, as they may have found out the truth and maybe reveal the Tallests are actually normal Irkens and this one is trying to make them see reason. Zim comes in with, "Now it's time to rise up..." with, maybe a good chunk of the Empire, who have sided with Zim after finding out the truth. Then we cut to Dr. Membrane singing, "Are you quite sure we can do this?", and have it roll from there. I can even imagine Dib singing, "I'll save my home and family", as they launch. If I had the skills to, I'd make it. But, sadly, some 5 year olds draw better than me. LOL.

1:21 Poor Dib FEELING that on a PERSONAL LEVEL and trying his hardest NOT TO because it's ZIM he's feeling sympathy for and somehow STILL feels sorry for him. That's what I see in that expression. He's still gonna defend Earth, but the sympathy is THERE.

[@ZackATF]

Fandom: Whyyyy MY TALLEST!? Actually Zim:I AM ZIM!

[@goldenkingyo]

The fact Dib is just listening in and actually starting to feel bad for him is touching, but then he's still put off by the fact Zim still plans to concur Earth

[@parycartoons6840]

Even Dib feels bad for him.

[@ToraHayashi18]

I honestly watched this over 20 times I really liked how good this animatic is; the song fits what is being conveyed. Zim is, no matter how demented and evil his plans are is a victim of being born in a society where an Irken is only worth as much conquering or destruction of other planets and races they succeed in overthrowing. And to try everything he could to prove his worth to the beings he admires and respects only to be constantly shut down, pushed aside and forgotten without him even realizing it. And still he tries and still he does his best even so-it makes seeing the expression on Dib’s face not only appropriate considering Zim’s plans to destroy earth but also, that Dib actually knows how he feels all too well. Not being understood by any of his peers and his own father. No one believes anything he says even when the reality is right in plain sight; yet no one sees it no matter how clear it is. He tries his best to show them the truth only to be knocked down for even trying. They both are misunderstood people who feel isolated and invisible.

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

Fan idea: What if, after checking the distance of the Irkan armada, Zim uses a hacker to peak into the Tallest. He's horrified and devastated after hearing what they _really_ think about him. After getting the idea of Peace Day, Zim believes he can get their attention and rule them all with the titular Florpus, despite knowing he'll be destroyed with the Earth; he's giving himself false hope.

Lyrics: Guess we all are born with parts to play Some of us are stars, and some are just in the way I know I was meant for glory But that's never what my story brings And yet I keep on waiting When you have the passion and the drive You expect your moment center stage to arrive I show up with heart a blazing Ready to achieve amazing things But I'm left waiting in the wings I hear my cue And yet I'm kept there, waiting Know what to do And still I stand there, waiting It's always someone else who sings While I'm left waiting in the wings And so I keep on keeping on My chances come and then I blink and they're gone Always overlooked unfairly While pretending that it barely stings But it stings, yes it stings And I'll shed no tears I'll only keep on waiting If no one cheers Well, I can keep on waiting Who cares how loud The silence rings You'll find me waiting in the wings
