>>94865020Gaz's main purpose is to be Dib's straight man. She's the only other person who knows Zim's an alien, but unlike her obsessive brother, she also realizes Zim's a drooling imbecile who's more of a threat to himself than anyone else. This serves to highlight Dib's delusional paranoia more than if he were an only child - when your hedonistic, selfish sister is more reasonable than you, you know you have a serious problem.
>as a ship characterFor the first year of the show's existence, Gaz was basically the only girl who had frequent speaking roles
okay, technically Zita too, but who cares about Zita? That, plus the regular cast being kinda small, led to a lot of people shipping her with Zim, because your only other options were yaoi or incest. Tak would show up at the end of Season 1, raising the amount of viable ships, but the old ZAGR content stayed active.
And really, it doesn't matter, because all IZ ships are insane crack ships, anyway. Most of these characters absolutely hate each other, to the point that you can count the character interactions that AREN'T hatred on one hand. When any ship in the fandom requires insane mental gymnastics to work, does it really matter who gets shipped with who?
As a side note, it's a weird feeling when your OTP is an insane crackship with no basis in canon. On the flip side, any interaction between Zim/Gaz is fantastic.

>would you a thick adult Gaz
Gaz would either be the best gf or the worst gf on the planet. Do you really want to take that risk?
