Description
This is what I like, and what prefer. YOU don't have to like it.
I like what ever I like, and I prefer Irkens acting like Irkens.
I like the Irkens as aliens. Not with human culture like going to high school, being bullied at "school", having casual jobs like being an accountant, living in democracy, growing up with abusive parents, etc.
I like when they are truly military based, download their knowledge as smeets underground without even having to go to school, training on planet Devestis as elites, or as a soldier. Being ranked up higher based on height, being snack or fastfood fanatics, serving their empire, etc.
I love aliens, reason why I like sci-fi in the first place. I'm hardly interested in drama, and romance in a urban setting or concrete jungle, the human kind.
To be honest I rather see space hillbillies, space nuns, and space pirates instead of the American culture or etc tossed into everything especially an alien race that has never ever been exposed to human cultures in it's entire existence.
It's NOT my opinion either. This is what I like and will forever love.
Sci-fi FTW!

-Long comment 
Thanks for making this stamp! I mean, why would Irkens know anything about Earth anyway? Look at "The Nightmare Begins", The Tallest sent Zim to a random planet, and in the end, when Zim called them, they didn't even know what "Earth" was. Later on in "Tak, the Hideous New Girl", Tak mentioned the Tallest deemed the Earth not valuable anyways. Plus, Irkens being Human-like would make Irkens less unique. Even if an Irken has a "casual job" like working at Shloogorgh's flavor monster, those places are a MADHOUSE.
Irkens are a strict Militaristic species. The Irkens are the top species, while all the other species are filthy, hideous, worthless slaves. Irkens devote their lives to conquering, and failing is not an option to them. However, Irkens have one huge weakness, SNACKS (LOL). If you destroy the Massive's snack pods, they will go into panic and retreat. An Irken working in an office, attending high skool, or having kids is unheard of.

Sorry for the late reply
Yeah I don't really get why there is the need to make the Irkens human-like, especially when the majority of Irken FCs are humanized. I've taken my time to analysis the species and watch all the episodes closely, along with unreleased scripts and audios just to learn about the species, and they are interesting. I like interesting and exotic, is to why I have such a big interests in aliens. Irkens need no school, they download their knowledge underground up until a certain age before going to the surface. They also laugh at eachothers pain and could care less. What would be considered immoral and terrible to humans, the Irkens consider as normal. They're also 10 times tougher than humans so they can take a lot of pain, so pushing one another off cliffs would be just funny to them while it being fatal to a human.
Once and a while I do like drawing and making up some crack scenes just for laughs. But other than just fun, it's nothing serious. Which I can get if it's just crack, but most of the time that's not really the case. This is why I'm so picky when it comes to the IZ fandom too.

That's what I did, I know the whole series by heart and listened to the audio scripts to learn more about the Irken Empire (The Trial epic win).
BTW, are you doing anything tomorrow or Sunday on Livestream? I'd like to see you draw.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am going to stream tomorrow, maybe even today since it's friday.
But I'm not entirely sure, since I'm atm trying to learn a new art skill that is very frustrating and difficult. But if not today, then yeah I'll defiantly be streaming tomorrow.

Irkens are massively cloned and currently number in the trillions. Very few Irkens ever make it up to the rank of elite because they training they offer on devastis narrows it down to skilled or not skilled. Irkens that make the cut and survive initial deployment they rise in rank and are sent to more advanced training.
When Irkens have overwhelming numbers the training of each soldier is irrelevant. Most Irkens are not given a name at the beginning of their life but instead a number. However, those that the control brains deem as having "genetic potential" are awarded a name rather than a number. This is a rare occurrence due to the number of smeets required to sustain the Irken military.
As for culture, well that is completely irrelevant and non-existent in Irken society which is devoted %100 to it's military. (Excluding defectives who serve as slaves.)

I never saw this. BOSS. Thankyou, I've been saying this forever.

Yeah, absolutely hate seeing Irkens looking like hookers, or them prissy girls. I don't don't mind plain clothes. Since those are just clothes even if they never will know about earth fashion since Irkens could care less about earth or it's culture. But if they look like that and are practically human with primitive tech, human culture, then that's what seems to bother me a little.

I agree completely; that's why I've worked on making that little report in my gallery as detailed and human-culture-less as possible
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm a creative version of fanon. I glimpsed it since I liked the idea of the species to be not human like, and was curious. Though some of the Irken biology is off, and mixed with a lot of fanon. I hope not to offend
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's fine XD There's not a whole lot of information on Irken anatomy in the show, so I looked up all the interviews and such that Jhonen's done for IZ. Obviously, the statements he made are canon (though I have a feeling he might've been joking about the blood colour, I dunno), and from there, I've thought up sections to add in that make sense given what he said in addition to incorporating ideas that were already given light by the fans and worked with what had been come up with. But yeah, alot of it is fanon.
I still have yet to really cover the Irken culture and jobs in detail, though; that's actually what I'm looking at right now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can find out a lot from staring at the scenes in the show too.
Like the show does show species with sharp teeth which include vortians, Knar'ghok, and even nightmares showing their daggers of teeth. The IZ style does not ignore anatomy like how fans draw the characters or their characters looking the same height in the fandom when they are in fact not. Some characters and additions are added in there as a joke or cameo like bee, the nny symbol, and nny himself. Irkens teeth are very much blunted even when exaggerated as seen when Zim screams especially when there are sharp toothed aliens and monsters to show the difference. You can find a very detailed biological description and discussion about a more accurate biology on here [link] on here if your curious but it does not tell of history. The history is for probably the fans to come up with. I actually love reading the different versions of what might had been 
That's just a small segment of that discussion in the link, there are much more of the debate than that.
As for jobs, I had been discussing that since they do have casual jobs such as janitory drone, fast food service drone and the such. Each of them must be assigned a job, they live to do a job assigned by the control brains in the PAK. Example fry cook that what came from outer space. Sizz-loor explained the PAK assigning thing which means they are assigned one job encoded into their PAK ID. Zim was not a Invader, he was still a fast food service drone meaning if he could have a secondary job it would had been okay for him to just walk on out of there and be a invader as a second job. They also gamble like seen on hobo 13, and use coins possibly as change (seen on the nightmare begins) while the monantary plug is used for larger sums of monies. The Irken empire seems military based, but yet is laid back and forgiven since they didn't deactivate Zim after all that time of causing painful overload day twice. Instead was punished as a fastfood service drone. They base everything by height and so I'm guessing rank is also based on that, along with thinking anything taller is always smarter. Example of Zim explaining humans being tall but dumb which blows the tallest away.
That's all I got for now. The rest I fill in the blanks as well.

I was going to make the teeth blunt, but the person who let me alter the detailed writing they did on Irk's history made a diagram with the proper structure of the teeth and jaws; I didn't wanna copy everything, but it's been bugging the hell out of my OCD-ness by not having it like in the show |D
I noticed that stuff, yes; I figured the Empire was pretty laid back and forgiving (at least to its fellow Irkens, slaves would be a different matter, I think), though Red and Purple did have an Existence Trial for Zim. As you probably know, he was supposed to be killed but managed to glitch out the data feed the Triumvirate was receiving from his PAK and was declared the greatest Irken of all time. The guy has an obscene amount of dumb luck XD
I like that bit about the second job, though; that possibility never occurred to me, but it makes sense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I know that part. It's the fact that they waited that long to do it that showed they weren't that hard on defects. Worst thing they would be turned into is a janitory drone or like Zim with fastfood. Zim obviously must had annoyed them a lot just for them to kidnap him to the spike of judgement to be placed on trial. He does seem quite the lucky one when it comes to his own race.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Didn't Red and Purple say something like "So it was Zim's fault!" or something when that was shown by the Triumvirate, though? I seem to remember that from the script...Buuuut, my memory's stupid sometimes XD I'll go check again XD
But yes, the Irkens definitely have a surprising amount of patience. Even if, for some reason, I hadn't noticed it with Zim, I did definitely notice it during Hobo 13 when Service Drone Bob refused to get the Tallests their refills. They didn't seem to care too much that he was going to win the bet and become frigging rich, but they got ticked off when he was disobedient and rude.

I agree with you there.
If there was ever to be a show, who's only content featured aliens culture (NOT JUST IRKEN) I'd much rather pick that than Alien Drama Wounder Burgade*lol spelled wrong* Alpha Team Candy A Day In Our Lives... EXPRESS!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I agree with you there, it doesn't really make much sense. There are parts of the culture that are similar (such as fast food chains, and betting) but the parts most people seem to use are always the bits we can watch, or read about, anywhere. I'd much rather find out more about their culture and trends than more human culture. I can make small exceptions, but an Irken that is completely human just... Doesn't work for me at all.
Sorry if this comment makes no sense, still recovering from writing continiously over several days... Still tired.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does, and yes that is what I love, Irkens do have similar stuff including some human foods in which I think is actually for comedy. Yes, I find people actually using their imaginations or trying to find as much info about their way of life more fascinating. People can always make a human character to be completely human, since I don't find much sense in a alien being a human unless it was born on earth but even then it would still probably be still alien in instincts and the FBI would have it contained somewhere on area 51 anyway before it can even learn the human ways.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Or, because no matter what, nachos are going to get called nachos and they will look nacho-y. The universe works in mysterious ways...
Imaginations are the best things to use, you could make up something truly and incredibly unique. I'll always go for the unusual over the human like anyday, it's always really interesting to find out more about them.
Or other goverment agencies, the FBI doesn't work in every country... MI6 for example.

the only thing i find wrong with this is, that irkens bully other irkens. hahah!
poor bob the table drone.
the tallest were pretty mean to him when zim started winning the bet.
but i do agree with this! most of my irkens have horrible irken attitudes and dont know crap about earth.
they like there snacks and they like to win! that is all!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It should had made that specific xD
I meant high school bullies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol
yeah but, then just no school.
hahaha someone ought to write a good fanfiction of there character going threw training tho.
im sure they would run into some bullies there.
it would be interesting to see a progression of that life VS a bounty hunter or invader. "i wonder what happened to the invader to make him that way?" type of thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually would too. That's rather interesting, and I'd probably like if someone wrote that too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
do you watch the show
i read comments and you said irkens dont use monies
then what was the stuff they put in girs head
also tuna sandwiches are human
the tallest also act like fat lazy americans eating snacks and drinking sodas
thats human
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They act sometimes like that, but their culture isn't of human. They don't go to high school and etc. Yes I do, I studied the show actually and know almost everything about it. They use a monetary plug, which is located in their PAK and used to place in vending machines and pay for things. The things they put in girs head is junk because they was what gir is junk. They stuff was of no value to red or purple. The sandiches and nachoes are for comedy and only the foods are like that. BUT THEIR CULTURE isn't.

who said they used a money plug
that sounds like fanon to me
ok
then whats this

No it isn't watch this [link]
You need to watch the show more AND read the stamp.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok
no you need to rewatch the first episode
and i did read the stamp
but i also read the comments
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know you're stumped cause you don't have anything to say about that. So don't comment unless you actually watched them recently and read ALL the scripts and audios.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you didnt even answer my question lol
whats this then?
[link]
another human-like thing is taks job as a janitor
and yes i did read them and listened to them all
i am a big fan i know what im talking about
i know this is your opinion but in the comments you are speaking wrongly about the show
you have the wrong idea what exactly is canon
please dont preach to me that you have evidence, when you surely dont
and please dont talk bad about me in your things ok 
im just telling you
that you have the wrong idea
im not trying to be mean and say your opinion is false
its an opinion, not a fact
so how can anything be false
but you are talking about what you think is canon in comments, and its not
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Some of the jobs are human-like which include janitors, and fastfood employees. There are only little things in there that are even human-like. If you read it then you would had seen that I said they don't go to school, they don't wear human, clothes, they don't live in human like apartments. I admit I was half wrong to saying they don't use money at all in solid form but they also do use a monetary plug to transfer the money in machines and use in a form like a credit card.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok
yeah i figure that
i am easily forgetting things like little details
the credit card thing sounds fun
i know they dont go to school well
they went to an academy though, like mentioned in the trial
they could wear human clothes if they went to earth and wanted to wear them
thats my opinion
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yeah clothes are clothes. But from earth not magically wearing them or shopping for them on a shopping mall planet. Which I think the shopping mall planet would exist since IZ universe is just weird like that, just not human clothes in there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
after dwicky gets taken by aliens
in the future there could be some human clothes in space
sticking to the same timeline and everything makes me bored
but i understand what you mean
can you tell me more about how you see irkens
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think of them based more on the script "the trial" Defectives being only branded as Defectives because of malfunctioning PAKs. The PAK being assigned a ID, and the smeets being stuck for years under the surface downloading information. Then after that being sent to devastis to the training academy in which all Irkens go to train. The PAK being their personality, storing information and also being a way of protection. More military based but not strict enough for anyone to really care if a Irken were to do something destructive or do whatever they wanted. Sending them to possibly be a janitory drone or a fastfood service drone by changing their ID. If too destructive or annoying for their own good they'll be judged by the control brains to see if they are defective or not. If they are then they would be deactivated. The Irkens only being able to pull away from being hive-minded is to download certain data that would cause them to rebel. The only way for them to simulate love is to download something that would be of that nature. Them giving more respect to those taller than them, and looking down upon those short. The empire being laid back, and not all the serious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh that sounds fun
but what if they have emotions like love and stuff
but it's just repressed by something
i read a fanfiction with that i liked it a lot.
and if they are only defective because there paks are
then there could be genetic mutations like eye colors and other things
that sounds fun
thank you for telling me this
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I dunno if their bodies would have any memories at all since it's basically a shell used to walk around with that is only suppose to store little memory as it fades away if the PAK were to be removed. Emotions like that could be simulated if some sort of accidental addition data or information was downloaded. Like if they accidentally downloaded a dating show or something like that. Basically I can only see them having those emotions if they had been exposed to that by accident while downloading as a smeet. Otherwise I think if they did previously breed if they had the sexual organs previously, they most likely only bred to keep the species going like any other creature. Yes genetic mutation like eye color and all that wouldn't matter because look at that announcer guy in the nightmare begins. I bet no one cares he has one eye, instead it's his height that mattered. I do think they might frown upon those with mutations and deformities that hinder them weaker and not able to work as well though.

I especially hate it when people give human personality features to Irkens. I have a Zim roleplaying page on Facebook and you have no idea of the horrors I have witnessed. From horrible future selfs that are all kind, to Zims who are able to love and are EVEN married to OCs, oh and almost ALL THE FREAKING OCs land crashed on Earth, like it has an Irken gravitational pull only or something... Oh well .___.
