Curate, connect, and discover
someone on here wanted a dib and nene swap and even though the post was from a while ago i thought it would've been a cute idea to draw
naturally when i drew them out my brain started coming up with ideas on how the stories would change, so more info about that under the cut
dib's family had moved to japan thanks to membrane's scientific research leading them to the country.
it didn't take long for dib to learn about the school wonders, more specifically about hanako. determined to truly prove the existence of the paranormal, dib summons hanako. dib got a little than be bargained for as hanako himself proved to be quite the trickster.
during the multiple failed attempts to get his school mates to notice hanako, dib accidentally swallowed a mermaid scale. although hanako helped dib keep the mermaid's curse to a minimum in exchange into becoming his assistant, dib does keep trying to expose hanako as well as other super naturals to the world.
nene was always known as the weird girl with the radish legs in her class. her fondness with that not of earth only motivated the weirdness people saw in her.
on the day zim arrived, he was taken aback by how excited nene was in meeting him. he was prepared for the humans to ignore his existence, yet there was nene actively wanting to learn more about her new classmate.
zim mistook this enthusiasm as a sign that nene was willing in helping his world domination plan. this mistake caused zim to drag nene around in his multiple attempts to destroy earth. nene, quick to understand her situation but unwilling to fully antagonize zim, secretly thwarts his plans while remaining his friend.
