Dib And Zim - Blog Posts
Imagine this- Invader Zim, except Zim is genuinely just a senial old man and Dib is just a delusional kid.
Dib, who is just SO CONVINCED that there’s no way this old guy is human. And he comes to visit the retirement home all the time just to “foil Zim’s evil plans” when in reality all Dib is doing is stopping the old man from like- Escaping or causing old people havoc. Dib is lowkey still neglected in this universe, but like his dad isn’t some crazy famous scientist. I think he just works a really good position for like- Microsoft or something- So a little less weird than canon yk? As for Dibs weird alien claims on Zim- The old man lowkey just lets it progress just to fuck around with the kid.
And Zim? Well personality wise he basically the same. He might be like- An old war veteran who’s in denial about his so-called “Feats” in the army- And thinks his pals still wanna hang out with him when in reality their all either dead or total assholes to him. So he’s not THAT different- So Dib and Zim still have that kind of banter, And it’s the same sort of cat and mouse bond that they share in canon, although a whole lot more wholesome in some aspects.
There’s also Gir, who is Zims grandnephew who he basically treats like a little slave but it’s kinda adorable. And the nurses of the home find it sweet that the 12 year old Dib takes time out of his day to visit the old kook- who basically lost almost all his family a long time ago. (Also, the distraction is quite a spectacle) there would be other characters introduced- But the main basis is that mostly Irkens are now just old people in the home- Like Skoodge, Tak, Red and Purple etc. stuff like that. I just thought this would be silly tbh. Bro really has beef with an old man, what a loser lol-
Best part is, you can’t ship them in this AU unless you wanna make it creepy- And why would you? lol might be controversial but here I am.
Tidbit:
Gaz: Maybe the reason nobody wants to talk to you is because your only friend is an old guy who smells like sweaty beans and bleach.
Dib: He is NOT my friend! He is my SWORN ENEMY!
Gaz: That’s even worse.
Some crappy doodles to accompany this goofiness, pardon my handwriting it is in fact hot garbage-
