It’s wilder than that. You feel the temperature drop around you. Animals start to freak out cause they think night has fallen. Even more crazy is shadow snakes. Where you see the shadows around you start to shimmer. Kind of like the shadows of atmospheric disturbances you see during really hot days or near a fire.

Also, the overall tone of the light is wrong and it’s almost impossible to articulate why.
It’s not dark per se, but the light doesn’t just seem dimmed, it seems like it’s in a different spectrum.
It feels like when a movie puts a filter over the film to indicate that something very very bad is happening, like an eldritch horror has arrived offscreen, and the bad light is slowly sucking your soul out of your body, only it’s real life, and the bad light permeates everywhere.
i think one of my fave shark facts is this thing that some species of sharks do where they sorta peek their heads out of the water to see whats above the surface…..its called spyhopping and great white sharks do it all the time
This gave me so much serotonin for some reason.
They look like they forgot they can breathe underwater and think they’re drowning
Sometimes I think about how invader zim accidentally led to the creation of avatar the last air bender and I’m just just..woah!!! Things can impact other things just like that. Crazy.
And Portal!
P
Portal?
At the very least, one of the artbooks (I think???) discussed how IZ was a huge inspiration for Portal, especially in its music.
It…checks out.
That’s incredible if true
Ngl when I first played Hollow Knight, our character reminded me of Zim. Glad I’m not the only one who sees it.
IZ really has inspired so much its crazy. I met Toby Fox at a con once and he said Zim was an early inspiration for Papyrus from Undertale, and I think he mentioned he had Gir in mind when making some of the dogs in Snowdin
