SIDE 1B: ROUND 2: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (How To Train Your Dragon)/Jack Frost (Rise of the Guardians) VS Dib Membrane (Invader Zim)/Dipper Pines (Gravity Falls)

Propaganda for Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III/Jack Frost:

i dont personally ship them but i know there are people who still do (and i found out abt rise of the brave tangled dragons stuff when i was young but i never got into it) so i'm just submitting this for fun and bc it's kinda cute lol

Worried and uptight x Laidback prankster. They compliment each other so well!!! Jack helps Hiccup relax and not die of a heart attack from worring too much, and Hiccup makes Jack take things seriously when needed. Prep x Jock!!!! Sun x moon!!!! Blessed be the ships from Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons (Rotbtd)

They're silly!! Hiccup's sarcasm and compassion pairs well with Jack's fun. That and Hiccup often tries to befriend everyone and Jack is incredibly lonely, they would be friends pretty quickly. Jack's whole origin involves the fact that nobody perceived or believed in him for a good 300 years before the events of the movie take place, but Hiccup if I remember correctly is pretty involved with folklore and legends and the like. He'd probably believe in Jack's existence which could lead to them meeting While Jack is kind of bitter in the beginning, we mostly just see him snarking the other spirits, since they're able to see him and just don't like him. The way he treats people and kids, however, is very different; he's all smiles and games even if they have no idea he's there! So I think Jack would be pretty friendly towards Hiccup, who had been previously bullied by literally everyone his age, which would be a VERY nice change of pace for him Idk. I think they would get along and maybe fall in love a little!!! They're just neat

Propaganda for Dib Membrane/Dipper Pines:

They're weird. They're on that transgender grind. They've been emotionally scarred by aliens. They both have sisters and two male guardians who has eerily similar names (Stanley and Stanford/Membrane and Clembrane). They both need therapy. They can both get a little silly with it. I just think they both feel gaslit by everyone around them except those they're closest to (although Dipper finds himself vindicated by the end) and they could bond over those experiences.

WE GETTIN OUTTA ART BLOCK SLOWLY !!!!!! I think I just needed to take a break from drawing Zim and Dib SPECIFICALLY they were ALL I DREW for um . Possibly the whole summer and start of school as a coping mech BUT I HAVE SO MANY OTHER IZ OCS/CHARACTERS TO FOCUS ON !!!!!! love zimmie and dibert douglas membrane but I hit an art stump BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS OF MOSTLY DOING OTHER CHARAS ILL BE ABLE TO RETURN BACK TO THEM . OH YEAH !!!!

BY THE WAY ......... these are my OCs.... IF IT WASNT OBVIOUS ALREADY BAHAHAHAH BUT BASICALLY !!! LONG STORY SUMMARY :

The Irken is named Swyn (she her) !! She's Miyuki's clone in my au :3 (one of multiple ... But I'm still figuring out that concept SO‼️🗣️) She was made off planet using Miyuki's DNA after her death, and her creator (some random smeet scientist I haven't worked on) got caught(you aren't allowed to make Irken smeets without permission off planet or at ALL because Irk is stinky and full of poop head control brains BTW all Irkens are asexual so don't be weird) AND SWYN GOT ABANDONED ON ACCIDENT !! it's okay thougjt because..... INSERT DRUM EXCITABLD SOUJD HERE.... TENN FOUND HER !!! she adopted Swyn along with her gf Tak , and THEY ARE A HAPPY LITTLE FSMILY !!! Sizz Lorr is there too because he is Tak's adopted father 🫡 found family FOREVER .

The second alien in the comic is named Meer (she they) !!!! She's a Fluxative (IZ OC species), a species of REALLY GOOD shapeshifters . However , the Irken Empire killed most of them in an Invasion. My Irken scientist OC, Nova(not shown or mentioned in the comic) who is Zim, Tenn, and Skoodge's Unit Sibling finds Meer when Meer is a literal smeet baby thing and takes her in to take care of her, and when Nova is assigned to RESEARCH *NOT* invade Irk, she brings Meer with her caude Meer is like her daughger :333

When Swyn is like 16 (I am a believer in Irkens aging like humans just with longer lifespans and I can and will defend my point) she and every Irken that lives on Irk finds out she's Miyuki's clone, and of course she's not very upset, but now has the pressure of living up to Miyuki's legacy, which would be extra difficult, since Miyuki was the VERY BEST TALLEST in IRKEN HISTORY.

Tallest Sleedge ( she her , also the main Tallest at the time in my au) essentially peer pressured Swyn to become Tallest as well, due to Swyn being almost exactly like MIYUKI was in ALL WAYS . Miyuki was something the Empire needed again. But Swyn is very conflicted on it....... SO YEAH !!!! skipped over a lot of things but that's SORTA WHAT THJS COMIC IS ABOUT

[messinwitheddie]

Sorry to bombard you with asks but I just had an epipany that your drawings of Miyuki (and honestly Dava as well) remind me of Charlotte from the 1973 Charlotte's web movie. I just got a tiktok of a clip from the movie and that thought just got into my head lol

That version of Charlotte was one of my first cartoon hyperfixations! I thought she was so pretty. As an adult I realize she looks more like a fuzzy ant than a spider, but I still think she's neat.

Maybe subconsciously Charlotte creeps into my drawings of Miyuki and Dava. Neither really resemble Charlotte personality wise.

Both Miyuki and Dava were formidable soldiers before they were tallests. Both were successful and ruthless conquerors.

Miyuki was famous for her charm and social grace. She maintained a high-class persona even towards the rend of her reign when she really started to get power drunk.

Dava was the opposite. Much of her history is watered down to mentioning little other than her 3 successful births, but she was a mighty tallest in her own right. Dava had once aspired to be a frylord, but was measured tallest before completing her culinary ops training. She spent many stressful battles fighting on Irks surface in between shifts cooking in the mess hall. She worked and fought alongside the tiniest drones. She kept her hive's army fed. She stayed very grounded even after she was measured because of that.

Fellow tallests considered Dava to be "trashy" and disgraceful. Dava made little effort to learn or practice tallest etiquette. She usually showed to formal events in functional armor and war paint. She engaged in conversation with shorter drones, especially scientists, doctors and techs, much more often and openly than other tallests. She made her demands heard. Naturally this is covered very little in holo training texts.

The one oc I have that strongly resembles Charlotte's design is Dow, the Colossus's adopted coddle drone.

Long post is long already, but I must include this, because it was a perfect excuse to use this dialogue. I love the book/ movie, but I think the story of Charlotte's Web may be a little more distressing to Irkens.

Ms. Bitters "Zim! You're up. Present to the class your oral report on...oooh."

Dib "Ow!! Damn it, Zim!"

Ms. Bitters "Dib, don't curse. Zim! Don't throw the books. There's nothing in the budget to replace them. The board used it all on new baseball uniforms."

Zim "What was the point of that stupid book?!!"

Ms. Bitters "It's YOUR oral report, Zim. You tell me and I'll tell you if you're right or wrong according to the curriculum."

Zim "Charlotte DIES ALONE in a fairground? She sacrifices all of her time, energy, silk and health and she doesn't even live to see her smee-er- babies leave to spin their own webs?! Why?! To save a stupid pig?! The humans are just going to eat him next Christmas, Charlotte, you shmizz!!

Do we really need reminders that life is short and death is inevitable?!

That our efforts will have little impact on the universe?! That our hard work will most likely go unrewarded?! DO WE?!

Rot, E.B. White!! If you're going to make shit up, make it uplifting! Come on!!

Zita "But the book also reminds us that the friendships we make along the way make life worth living and the acts of kindness we do for each other gives us hope that the future may be a little brighter for future generations-"

Zim "You rot too, ZI-TA! You WOULD side with that dumb pig!! Typical!!"

Zita "Ms. Bitters!!"

Ms. Bitters. "ZIM, as much as I agree with your assessment, Zita's fits closer to the curriculum. You get a D. Sit down and be quiet for the rest of the day."

Zim "Sure! Who cares?! Earth fiction is STUPID! I'm never reading fictional earth literature EVER AGAIN!"

Ms. Bitters *sigh*

IZ - "Little Green Men" - WIP

Ah yes, after nearly two decades I am back on my Invader Zim bullshit.

This's kind of a love letter to a bunch of the Invader Zim AUs I've read in the last few years. The IZ fandom is small but mighty and I love every single one of you <3

Essentially, after the events of Enter the Florpus, Zim left Earth to go "rescue" his Tallests from their imminent destruction.

On this "mission" of his, he runs into the Resisty. Where he's recognized as being y'know, the one responsible for the Tallests entering the Florpus in the first place, and therefore destroying a large part of the Irken Armada. He is a hero and they give him all the praise and accolades he's always been wanting.

Just one problem:

He'd already rescued the Tallests, knows they're safe, and now has to destroy them again before the Massive rejoins the rest of the Irken Armada.

Or at least, that's kinda the vision I have for this particular part of the story. I write out of order when I'm drafting sooo... started with this, earlier today:

Dib didn’t really understand what, exactly, he’d done to deserve this – but honestly, he damn well knew he didn’t deserve any of it. 

As it was, he sat at the end of his bed, in his fucking boxers, his scythe-like hair drooping in front of his eyes. He’d just gotten himself out of the shower. And found himself standing eye to eye with a familiar pair of magenta eyes. 

“What do you want, Zim?” Dib asked, standing up and ignoring just how much shorter Zim was than him, now, as he moved to his dresser.

“Eh?? How’d you know it was me?!” 

Dib didn’t bother hiding his eye roll and gestured to Zim’s face. “You forgot your human eye contacts,” he said, slipping into a black pair of thin, ripped jeans. 

“No I didn’t,” Zim said, pointing an accusatory finger in Dib’s direction. “You lie! You lieeee!” 

With a heavy, beleaguered sigh, Dib pulled his Neutral Face shirt on over his head. He smoothed it down, making note that he needed to start eating again, damnit – as his shirt now seemed to hang off his frame like a shirt on a hanger. 

Now properly dressed, Dib turned around to face Zim and leaned his hip back against his dresser. He folded his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow at Zim.

It’d been a few years since they’d last seen each other. The whole Florpus incident had left an odd, bitter taste in Dib’s mouth. And Zim…

Well, Zim had supposedly returned back to Irk – to prove his worth and show his loyalty to his Tallests. Or something. Dib tried arguing with him that it was pointless – that they clearly didn’t care about him. 

Whatever. It didn’t matter. Zim does what Zim wants, and nothing can stop him. Ever. 

“Is this the way you greet your greatest enemy?” Zim bellowed in that way that Dib always thought meant Zim was genuinely angry. Now, he knew better. It was bravado. Bait. Part of the song and dance they’d done when Dib was a child and Zim – 

Well, he was an adult Irken, wasn’t he? He’d implied being much, much older than Dib himself. Even if he did act like a ridiculous fifth grader right along with Dib.

“I have work in an hour,” Dib said with a shrug. “And let me tell you, I greet it with even less enthusiasm than I did you, just now.” 

Zim stared at him, the magenta of his natural, bug-like eyes unblinking. His human disguise had actually improved, aside from the missing contacts – the eyes were at least closer to human-shaped. His hair was still styled in a weird, slicked back poof, but it looked far more natural and less plastic. Even his skin was the right color – a rich, dark brown that could easily pass for human. 

Oh, and he had a nose.

A cute, round nose that Dib felt the inexplicable urge to boop. 

So he did. The way Zim spluttered at the action pulled a low, deep chuckle from his chest. “Seriously, Zim. Why are you here?” he asked, his lips settling into a smirk. “You couldn’t have possibly missed this ball of dirt that much.” 

“Of course not! There are millions of balls of dirt out there just like this one.”

[raiii-bee]

I apologize if this isn't appropriate and comes off too negative but I honestly hate the setup of the comics they used for Invader Zim Enter the Florpus? Like it feels like a two issue excuse to humiliate and bully Dib for cheap laughs and make him a fat joke, and it pisses me off that people really hold that as a "highlight" of the comics. I'd have been livid if the movie was a straight adaptation.

Okay so I have a lot of thoughts about this, but before I go into any of that I want to first state that no, you are not being inappropriate at all! I think criticism of the things we love is very important, and Invader Zim is no exception. It's been a while since I engaged with discussion like this, but I think it's very valuable and so are your thoughts! Because honestly I agree with your point here. I think you're right.

That being said, I'm going to reblog this to @dib-shit because I think it's worth it to have this more visible to other IZ fans. I'm sorry if I go off for too long, but you really did spark something I me because I really agree with what you wrote. I literally have almost a 3 page essay below the cut.

This is something that's been on my mind for a while now tbh. I don't remember if I posted or reblogged something about it in the past, but I do think it maybe needs some more attention. Because I actually agree. As much as I love Invader Zim and Enter the Florpus, the way Dib was handled in the setup for the series continuation in the comics and the movie is... bad. And I think it brings to light that IZ, like all media, is not immune to issues and criticism.

First, there's the very blatant fatphobia surrounding Dib in this situation. Invader Zim, in retrospect, is incredibly fatphobic as a series. Part of this could be because it was the early 2000s, a time that seemed to decide it was a cultural obligation to hate fat people for just existing. But that's absolutely no excuse, especially for the return of IZ in the comics and the movie.

In the show, we constantly see these extremely gross depictions of fat people, one of the more obvious examples being Bloaty/the man who plays Bloaty. There are lesser examples like Eric the Blob in the fry cook episode and Willy, among others. Then, of course, Dib in the setup for the Movie/comics. This is a pattern. People who are fat in IZ are treated like they are disgusting creatures that chose to be that way because they were too "lazy" or "gross." And that's what happened with Dib. His obsession resulted in him not caring for himself properly (mostly not showering and going outside imo... But the comic movie focuses on him gaining weight) and while it does try to use this to highlight Dib's personal issues with how he cares for himself, it does so in a mocking and mean-spirited tone. As you said, it comes off like an excuse for cheap laughs.

To be clear to anyone that needs to hear it:

being fat does not make someone gross. Nor is someone a bad person for struggling to care for themselves.

While it is important for us to practice self-care, I feel that a lot of our culture focuses WAY too much on being "not fat" when there are way more important parts of self-care, such as mental health and hygiene practices (said by someone who has struggled his whole life with both things).

Diet culture is a scam.

Being fat is not as extremely “unhealthy” as it is portrayed to be, most fat people are just fine.

Everything we do has health risks, assholes just use "health" as an excuse to hate people for no reason. And if you really want to obsess over health, being overweight is better than being underweight for your body.

Even then, no matter how "unhealthy" someone might be, that NEVER justifies treating them with resentment and disgust. It is not that hard to treat others kindly.

This leads into how Dib was treated for getting fat and not cleaning himself. He was mocked by everyone around him when clearly something was wrong with his mental health. I know this is a cartoon, but consider that this was a 12-year-old kid who locked himself in his room and no one helped him or reached out to make sure he was okay. Especially Professor Membrane, who seemed to not care that his son was not doing well mentally or physically. Dib is a child. Dib is not an adult who can fully understand his choices and struggles and may need assistance in life as any child would. Dib is a child who needed support from a parental figure and he did not get it. Then when he tries to recover, Gaz treats him like an animal and hoses him down. Again, this is a cartoon so there are going to be ridiculous extremes. But when paired with the fact that he was turned into a fat joke for this bit, it has an uncomfortable vibe to it.

There were many ways to show him physically deteriorating from his mental illness without just turning him into a fat joke. I don't have an issue with him being physically unwell, I have issues with how they handled it.

That is mostly where the movie stops. But not the comics. In my opinion, the comics were way worse, and based on your ask I think you agree. The comics continue with Dib's story, and as you said, he is absolutely beaten down in a way that felt excessive and very mean-spirited for cheap laughs and humiliation. When ignoring all the issues with how Dib's physical state was presented, there is still the fact that he manages to recover. And anyone that has been through shit will tell you that recovery is not pretty, and it is not easy. Whether from trauma, illness, addiction, or physical struggles, there will always be elements of the recovery process that are unpleasant, painful, and sometimes even gross.

Dib's recovery process from living in his dark room for however long... Was mocked. It was recorded, uploaded, and treated as a joke both to the IZ universe and to us readers. The audience is intended to laugh at this kid who went through the painful and unpleasant process of recovery. This especially rubs me the wrong way. Because what does this tell people who might be going through their own recovery? What message does that send kids about what they should look like when they are trying to get better? What does that tell kids who have disabilities that may reflect some of what Dib was temporarily dealing with? I know this is a funny haha comic… but sometimes a joke can cross a line.

The panel of Dib clearly feeling uncomfortable because he had an accident and needs Gaz to help him clean himself hits a very personal cord for me. There are cases when a disability causes someone to struggle with using the bathroom. That was Dib's situation. He was still stuck in his chair and actively trying to get better, but he wasn't done with the process. People with disabilities get enough shit as it is. They don't need to be reminded of the things they get mocked for, and they also don't need to be mocked for it at all!! I have been in Gaz's position here. Never in a million fucking years would I think it's okay to make fun of someone for this when I know they have little to no control, aren't doing it on purpose, and likely already feel so much shame/embarrassment from something like that. I get it.

But just... The entire concept of it being "funny" that the whole universe is laughing at Dib for his recovery process is just horrible. Again, I know this is a series where everyone is gross and everyone is mean. But this... I felt went a little too far and a little too close to what real people are mocked for all the time. It's just blatant ableism.

So yeah. I absolutely agree that if they incorporated the second half of the comic’s intro into the movie, I would've been pissed! There's a line between making fun of a character and just bullying them in a way that hits too close to home for some, especially when the audience is expected to laugh along at the character's expense. Laughing at Dib when he's admittedly a creep in the early show (specifically thinking of the autopsy video quote in the first episode) is one thing, but laughing at him for trying to recover from a really bad time of his life is something else entirely.

There's probably more I can say about this, but my essay here is already long enough (sorry). Thank you again for sharing these thoughts, I hope I didn't bulldoze my way through this conversation. If anything I said was off/out of line let me know.

Zim, Dib, and Seven Smeets

A ZaDr series: Ep 1, Hatching Day

Dib: Zim, will you come down.

Zim: *sitting on top of the fridge* DO NOT DISTURB ME WHILE I'M IN MY PANIC SPOT!

Dib: Im just-

Zim: *crying* DIBBERSON, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, I'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE!

Dib: you said that an hour ago, I've got everything set up for the celebration, so at least be down before 3, ok?

Zim: wait, you did the decorating? You did EVERYTHING?! ON YOUR OWN?!

Dib: *smiles sinisterly* yes, yes I did, all on my own, probably made some mistakes in color arrangement-

Zim: LET ME SEE! YOU BETTER NOT HAVE MESSED ANYTHING UP!! *jumps down from the fridge and scurries into the living room*

Dib: works every time...

Zim: Dib, you didn't actually mess any of the decorations!?

Dib: I studied hard when you were decorating for Gaz's birthday, so I applied your decoration tactics to this room and... well... ta-daa!

Zim: you really are amazing, Dib. You know that, right?

Dib: I got the hint the day you gave me a ring-pop and asked for my hand in marriage.

Zim: I swear I didn't know it was candy, the person who sold it to me said it was worth 5,000$ and would sell it to me for 4,900...

Dib: I really didn't care about being proposed to with a candy ring, a ring is a ring to me, wether it's candy or not. Although, it is very concerning how someone managed to sell you a ring-pop for that much.

Zim: don't remind me...

Dib: would you believe me when I say I still have it?

Zim: no, I actually wouldn't.

Dib: well I do, I had it dipped in resin so it wouldn't deteriorate.

Zim: wow, how have I not noticed it?

Dib: remember that box I where keep stuff like pendants and pins? That's where the ring is.

Zim: that's sweet.

Dib: wait a minute, I just remembered we've got one more thing to do...

Zim: The Smeet's play-pen! We've gotta decorate that! Get the streamers! I've got some decorating to do!

[About an hour later]

Dib: alright, living room decorated, snacks and cake ready, little gift bags customized for every guest, flowers and other table decorations, and Zim's in the play-pen with the eggs. We are ready for the guests to arrive and it isn't even-

[Knocking from the front door]

Dib: right on cue, must be dad cause he's been early to ever other party. *answers the door* hey- uh...

Tallest Red: hello there, you must be Dib

Tallest Purple: How has Zim been? We haven't heard too much from him since he layed the eggs.

Dib: uhhhh... Hi I'm Dib Membrane, Zim's husband. Zim's been doing wonderfully, aside from the random anxiety attacks and his weekends of depression. Please come in! We have plenty of Irken friendly food and drinks ready, but remember to save some for the other guests. You two apparently aren't the only alien guests on our list.

Tallest Red: Thank you Mr. Membrane, we appreciate your hospitality. *enters with Tallest Purple*

Zim: My Tallest! I didn't expect you to be here until 10 minutes later.

Tallest Purple: see, I told you we were too early!

Tallest Red: EUGH, we could've brought the little ones Paks...

Dib: actually, we already thought of that. My Dad works at Membrane labs and designed him "Membrane Paks". They are designed to make it easier for them to identify us in a crowd, immediately begin healing if injured, ward off any diseases and illnesses, higher pain tolerance, and give them a longer life.

Zim: the only major differences are the Designs and application process. Instead of implanting electonics in abruptly, we will apply them more delicately, carefully and less painfully.

Tallest Red: hmm, I see, it would also be much easier to identify them if they ever decided to work for the Irken Empire.

Zim: i mean, you're not wrong. But I also invited here to ask for permission to retire.

Tallest Purple: retire?

Tallest Red: eumm... sure? Why not?

[1 hour later]

Dib: Dad, Gaz, the tallest, Skoodge, Tak, Tenn, Keef, Z, Zita, Clembrane, Prisinor 777 and his kids.

Dib: that seems to be about everyone, all we're missing are-

Anne: *annoyingly beating on Dib's Door* DIBDIBDIBDIBDIBDIBDIBDIBDIB!

Dib: Anne and Flish...

Dib: *opens the door, making Anne fall into the house*

Anne: Crikey, you've grown! You're 'bout as tall as Flishey now!

Flish: howdy, Dib. Sorry we couldn't make it to yer wedding last year.

Dib: it's ok, come on in you two.

Tallest Purple: oh yeah... we banished HER here too...

Tallest Red: I feel like Zim isn't our biggest concern anymore.

Anne: My Tallest! It's been YEARS! how've ya been!

Tallest Purple: good~

Anne: *gasp* OH MY GOSH! The eggs! Aw, they're absolutely precious! Zim, you oughta call yourself lucky! 'Lotta Irkens can't lay eggs y'know.

Zim: eheh, I know. Which is why I didn't fully expect it.

Dib: you should've seen him, he cried his eyes out the whole time and more.

Flish: Heha! sounds like Zim a'right. But don'cha get all concerned and stuff. It's completely normal to cry during egg laying. Er, from what I've heard at least.

Dib: it's official, everyone's here.

Tallest Purple: great!... Now what?

Dib: Um, we talk.

Tallest Purple: sounds boring.

Gaz: I have Videogames.

Tallest Purple: Ooo, sounds intriguing! What do you do?

Professor Membrane: son, may I speak with you for a moment?

Dib: sure.

Professor Membrane: let's go into the other room, ok.

Dib: *nods and walks into the bedroom*

Professor Membrane: something is wrong and I can tell.

Dib: *walks over to the bad, grabs a pillow, and screams in it*

Professor Membrane: I know your stressed, but everything will be just fine. I'm sure you and Zim will be great-

Dib: But what if we arent?! I work weekends at a coffee shop and Zim works at a clothing store in a mall. We can't provide for SEVEN babies! It took a lot of saving to get this party set up! I rarely get any tips and the one tip I got last weekend was from Gaz and it was a penny.

Professor Membrane: Ok, now that's just sad.

Dib: I don't know what to do! It's hard for me to get a different job, a barista was the closest I could do because I apparently make really good lattes. *sob*

Professor Membrane: have you ever considered working with me in the labs? You already know everyone there and know the place well. Plus, I could adjust your schedule so you don't have to come every day and you get paid just for being there.

Dib: you'd do that for me?

Professor Membrane: of course! You really do need the money, I could have you work as a lab assistant, but that's a little dangerous. I could put you in the mailing room? Or-

Dib: what about food service? I can cook, I can make coffee, tea, and plenty of different desserts.

Professor Membrane: that's a wonderful idea! I could make you work down at the cafeteria so your talent isn't wasted on Lattes!

Dib: Consider me hired! Ill be there tomorrow evening-

Professor Membrane: no no, you should stay home for a few days.

Dib: but dad, I-

Professor Membrane: Dibberson, I know you want to help out as soon as you can, but right now, Zim and your children need you here. Besides, it's hard to bond with a child while you're away, right?

Dib: I guess it is.

Anne: *Bursts through the door* Dib! It's about to happen! One of the eggs moved!

Dib: bwha?! Already?! I didn't think it would be this early! *runs to the living room*

Zim: Dib! There you are! Hurry over here, you don't want to miss this!

Dib: *looks over the pen* which one moved?

Zim: This one right here. *puts egg in lap*

Dib: When will they-

Zim: any moment now...

Dib: *puts hand on egg, feeling for any movement*

Zim: Dib, can I admit something before they hatch?

Dib: go ahead.

Zim: I knew about the eggs since the first day they began developing.

Dib: wanna know something? The 4 months before I helped you with the eggs, I was suspicious that you might've been pregnant. I was kinda right.

Zim: yes, yes you were. AH! DIB, IT'S HATCHING!

Dib: *removes hand, watching both the eggs hatch and his family grow before his eyes*

Zim: thank you, Dib

Dib: hm?

Zim: thank you for everything. I'll love you forever and on.

Dib: *pure panic* wait, you dont die after the eggs hatch, do you?

Zim: No, no I don't, but I'll love you longer than you'll ever know. And that's a promise.

From then and on, Zib and Dib lived a happy and eventful life with 7 beautiful Human-Irken Smeets.

The End

Zim: Or is it?

Dib: Not really, but for now, yes.
