In Short Supply: Difference between revisions

The story manages to find ways that this all makes ''some'' sort of sense (or at least ''[[Crapsack World|Invader Zim]]'' [[Crapsack World|world]] sense) while [[Averted Trope|Averting]] or [[Justified Trope|Justifying]] almost all the usual tropes you would expect. It is probably the most popular ''[[Invader Zim]]'' story on Fanfiction.net and has a large following, even among those who don't usually like slash or mpreg. It now updates only sporadically.

 

 

* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: Many characters from the show get their own small subplot, including relatively minor ones. Perhaps the best example is Bob, the flat-headed serving drone seen only in "Hobo 13," who becomes a major secondary character.

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Considered creepy by most Irkens, nevertheless {{spoiler|Red}} indulges in this with a hired Vortian "dancer."

* [[Meaningful Name]]: In the story the Control Brains named Zim after a major religious figure just to satisfy his ego, though Bob thinks that it may mean [[The Messiah|something else]]. A few other characters have this as well, like Vermin (to represent his class) and some of the smeets.

* [[OC]]: Many, most notably Zim and Purple's children, as well as [[Your Vampires Suck|Count Gwaednerth]], [[Sadist Teacher|Ms. Airy]] and [[Humanoid Abomination|Miss Fhtagn]].

* [[OC Stand In]]: Bob and others.
