Shadowchild is way better than Gir on account of not spouting random garbage about tacos and such and not constantly ruining things, among other reasons. In fact, I daresay I enjoy Digger much more than Invader Zim.
great. now everytime Shadowchild talks, I’m gonna hear Gir. And my ever-helpful brain will input various quotes about mooses, pigs, pizza, tacos, tuna, and doom at random. wonderful. thanks.
It’s the innocence that does it. Gir has that glitchy “good little evil soldier” mode he gets into sometimes, but otherwise he and Shadowchild are both beings of supreme innocence. Ain’t they just adorable? ^.^
Even though JV would hate me for saying it, Gir is cute. But he’s also a hedonist, which Shadow-child is very much so not. There are similarities in stature and understanding of the world, and cuteness, but I think everything else about them is /very/ different.
These comments are amusing because I have no idea who Gir is – obviously a character from something – but I know that Ursula is currently living with an oh-so-exuberant beagle named Gir…
My favorite shadowchild quote so far
“It’s Shake ‘n’ Bake, and shadowchild helped!”
“Yay! I’m helping!” … *is hilared*
Shadowchild reminds me of Gir. Which is to say I love it. I think Shadowchild is my favorite character, followed closely by Ed.
Now that you mention it, there’s a LOT of Gir about Shadowchild…
Shodowchild’s a helper! (^__^)

Yeah, ain’t it just?
Incidentally, I’ve heard a sort of less-shrill GIR voice for Shadowchild since like the third page of him.
Again with the YOINK!

DOOMDOOMDOOMDOOMDOOM!!
“Yay! I’m helping!” — a rather unnerving echo of Thog from Order of the Stick.
I thought it was Elan said that? Or has Thog said it too that I forgot about?
Vertical fetching is exactly what familiars are for. See? Shadowchild IS a familiar.
Nope, not a familiar: no telepathic link or sense sharing …
😉
(Sorry, can’t help it: I’ve been playing D&D for over 30 years … )
My puppy is like that. “Yay! I’m helping!” With EVERYTHING.
I wonder if there was a time, long and long ago, where the other demon of this tale would have wanted to help.

@Brenda Gir is a character from a now canceled Nickelodeon show called Invader Zim.

Long and long ago, indeed. Somehow, though, I think not.
