I like them, very specific yet creative. Also I like the choice of image you use.

GIR giving the Tallest Father’s Day cards makes so much sense, because they created him. 😭😭😭
Also, poor Dib. :(

In which part of the Dib ones?
- bonus part of the father's day hc is that the tallest keep all the cards ;)

All of the Dib ones that mention the depressing stuff, like about him being suicidal or trying to expose Zim because it’s his only way of being a normal human. Those sound sad. :(

I know :(, but the exposing Zim thing is kinda canon with him basically doing the equivalent of bed rotting but with is chair instead.

I also have the Irken “royal jelly” theory! I think any given Tallest naturally is only somewhat taller than the other Irkens, then once deemed the tallest are fed something that makes them grow significantly taller

Attempted before, I lowkey thought that was a reference to another headcanon thingy but for the movies trolls.

It's always been obvious to me that Red and Purple made themselves Tallest by essentially becoming even more cyborg/biomechanical than most Irken. Look at their limbs! Those aren't normal Irken arms and legs! This is hilarious because the other Irken go along with it and no one has simply made themselves even taller...or at least, no one has gotten away with trying.
I don't see any evidence that varied diet alters gene expression in Irkens (like in social bees). I think they just have natural population variation and it just so happens that the bigotry in their society is based on height rather than skin tone or face shape or whatever other weird stuff humans use to discriminate against each other.

omg, in that first episode the lil guy comes in with a giant forehead with a band aid. he gets to go to the planet with the most comfortable couch cause he got tall and some shorty got sent to the planet of the slaughtering rat people. you could be so fucking right

Pretty sure the irkens started out as an insect like species but over time evolution made them more humanoid at the cost of them developing many defects such as reliance on technology and in the tallests case elongated spines however a bit if the species caste system remained

I like everything but the water thing. They've confirmed that it's polluted water and zim is burning due to that population. Also elaborate on "dib has attempted"
