A continuation

[Gaz "Next rule; DO NOT mention Dib and Lorelai's break up in conversation---]

[interior; hookah longe]

Zim "YOU, the Dab-maker!! Have a shot with Zima!"

Lorelai "I don't drink, Zim. I keep telling you this."

Zim "You're no fun. Is that why you and the Dib-monkey are no longer "together"?"

Gaz "Goddamnit!"

Loralei "It's complicated, but that's part of it."

(Spoiler alert, Zima breaks all the rules. Gaz is not shocked, but still pissed.

A series of dialogues between Zim and the girls. Attempting to mix angst with humor in this "Zim crashes girl's night" side story. There is more to Lorelai's, but I will have to circle back after Xmas at some point.)

Wee need more on Loralei. Please share with us Loralei stuff! Howd she meet Dib? What's her dream job? Childhood memories? Share with us your Human OC!

Lorelai and Reg are my only two human ocs. I'm not as confident with my human oxs as I am my Irkens.

She comes across as a "bitchy ex" in the few times I've explored her character; which is really an injustice to her. She's not a bitch. She just has a lower tolerance for bs than most and bs has been steadily dumped at her feet her whole life.

Her design I've struggled with for a while, but I love drawing her. (Excuse her twists; lack of drawing skills on my part. I'm trying ^^;)

Lorelai von Verminstrasser

Granddaughter of Countess von Verminstrasser; the de- louser. Daughter/ youngest child of Prof. Arnd von Verminstrasser, (German super-scientists/ heir to the V.V. genetics lab/ nature reserve located somewhere in the depths of the Black Forrest) and Prof. Youmna Abdelsalam; (a master architect/ architectural history major from Cairo.)

There's a lot of fan lore behind Lorelai's character involving the von Verminstrasser family; which in my au, is an old, wealthy family of scientists/zoologist/biologists/ cryptid hunters dating back to the 12th century. In modern years their research has been less focused on hunting and more about documenting/ preservation.

Lorelai grew up on her family's nature reserve. She was homeschooled until she was 15. Her parents are loving and encouraging, but also can be eccentric, strict and often hold her to high standards; especially concerning her grades. Growing up, her family heavily involved her in their research/ experiments. Countess often included Lorelai on cryptid hunts. She was taught a long list of wilderness survival skills, an in depth understanding of animal biology/ behavior and unlimited access to von Verminstrasser tech.

Despite consistent displays of competency; she often found herself in the shadow of her older brother/ cousins.

She met Dib on the swollen eyeball network under the name “agent Khonsu" when they were 13. She originally only joined to troll her older brother, who often trolled the SE message boards. She and Dib never exchanged personal information beyond that of their SE names. She came across a lot of nonsense among the organizations, but was intrigued by what seemed legitimate. She and Dib had many heated debates. Their biggest argument was actually not over Zim, but over her theory that prof. Membrane was an alien or cryptid... and over who built the pyramids, but mostly her "Prof M. is an alien theory).

She and Dib met in person when she was 14. She had joined her parents and “oma" Countess to a trip to America. Her father was to assist Prof. Membrane on a major project/ guest appear on his show.

Lorelai seized the opportunity to gather evidence on her theory. She managed to infiltrate Dib's house and explore Prof. Membrane's personal lab.

Her theory was disproven upon further investigation. She immediately apologized for her accusations/ intrusion, which Dib reluctantly accepted. She admitted to him that her theory about the professor was faulty, but she desperately wanted a way to be noticed; on the SE network and by her family. She found a kindred spirit in Dib. They became close friends and continued to discuss (more civilly) paranormal science with him in the SE message boards. She later helped Dib infiltrate Zim's base one last time before he left Earth.

The two dated via video chat and the occasional visit until they were 19. With her family's blessing, Lorelai transferred colleges/ moved to Dib's city to live with him/ earn her degree (s).

The two of them went on a world paranormal hunt when they were twenty (behind their parents' backs). Their son, Reg was born soon after.

Lorelai has many fond memories exploring her family's nature reserve as a child. Some of her fondest memories are exploring haunted/ or paranormal sites with Dib. She loves rock climbing, hiking and tracking animals.

Now that she has had opportunities to explore who she is as a separate entity from her family and a world outside the V.V nature reserve, she would eventually like to take on the responsibility of running it/ protecting it. (She cannot trust it to her brother and cousins who have little interest in maintaining the reserve.)

Since her breakup with Dib she has returned to her ancestral home to help manage the facility. Her biggest goal as of late (beyond furthering her studies/ being a good mother to Reg) is to prove the existence of the Wolptertinger.

I glossed over so much and there's still so much text.

I realized after going through my tags I've spelled this poor oc's name wrong since the beginning. ><

[messinwitheddie]

Oh my gosh! Reg has a lil sister!! Who’s Dibs new wife? Is it Mabel? How does Dipper feel if that’s the case?

Soos "Sorry I didn't make it in time to help set up, dude."

Dipper "It's fine. The Shack is all set to go for the big day. Mabel will be glad to see you."

Soos "Can't promise I'm not gonna cry, dude."

Dipper "You know...same."

Soos "I still can't believe you're ok with this. I mean, Dib's our friend and he's a great guy and all, but..."

Dipper "Dib's a spoiled brat, I know."

Soos "Well, that and he treats his women like garbage."

Dipper "I think he's genuinely grown up in that aspect. Mabel is confident he has anyways. She's been through so much shit, man, what with the lawsuit and the mis-- She's happy with him. He seems happy with her, so I'm going to ignore my better judgment and be happy for them. If Dib does end up doing anything to hurt her I'll knock him the fuck out, that's all."

Soos "That's big of you, dude. You're a good brother."

Dipper *sighs* "Yeah ..."

Soos "Have you messed around with any of Ford's equipment yet?"

Dipper "Oh, uh...

....

....no."

Reg "I'm happy Dad and Mabel are a thing now. Mabel is really nice. Dipper and I play D&D online more often now. Dad's actually mellowed out considerably since they started going out. He took it really personally when I told him I wanted to move in with mom. Things have been tense between us ever since. Maybe I'll be able to extend my 15 minute max contact rule next time we're in the same room.

Their wedding was really fun, what parts of it weren't flung into chaos. Zim came, he brought a plus one. They behaved themselves pretty well. The Mystery Shack was the perfect place tor the ceremony.

I actually haven't met Eowyn in person yet, but Mabel and I zoom call. I'm proud to be an older brother finally. I plan on visiting during break. Hopefully dad has returned to earth by then."

Dib "Reg seems ok with it. I mean, his mother and I had split up romantically long before I started to date Mabel. Lorelai and I are on much better terms these days and he's known the Pines family since he was born. I have trouble reading him, but he doesn't seem to have a problem with us.

To be honest...we...don't talk much anymore. Reg went to live with his mother in the von Verminstrasser cryptid reserve when he entered highschool. That's all the way in Baden-Württemberg. We hadn't seen each other in person until the wedding. Reg had just turned 16.

Now he's in college studying biotechnology in Delhi. I went to his high school graduation, but we haven't talked in person since then. He hasn't contacted me since I left earth with Zim... I wish I knew what I did to make him so distant. I'm afraid to ask at this point...

It's been fun, exploring space with Zim and I miss the little gremlin already, but I have a lot to sort out with my family on earth."

IZ fantasy cast list

list of voice actors I would hand pick to play my OCs (and/ or comic/ unaired episode characters).

Does anyone else have voice actors picked out for their OCs?

Irken Gir : Rossi Rikki Simon's, but with no audio manipulation. Naturally :)

Yeet: Hong Chao (Pickles, Bojack Horsman. Her energy is perfect for Yeet)

Vroog: Billie Mae Richards (Roudolph; She passed away in 2010, but were she still alive and I had the executive authority, I would hire her for Bright-Eyed Vroog. ^^)

Frylady Soo-Garr: Kristin Chenoweth (Sharp, sassy villainess voice.)

Commander Person Poki: Lauren Ash (Cliche maybe, but she makes an awesome tough, but funny gal, or person in Poki's case. I fall in love with almost every character she plays.)

Reg Membrane: Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger things; I don't know if he's ever voice acted, but again, if I had the executive authority, I would offer the role)

Lorelai von Verminstrasser: Aisha Tyler (What can I say, I love a tough sounding girl that can deliver some snappy quips)

Brewmaster Masterbrewer Shakkenaktsturt: Christopher McCulloch (Still working on his design so he has yet to make an appearance in a sketch dump, but I have a clear idea for how I want to portray his personality.)

The Smoking Irken Sage (Rook): Eddie Izzard. (Just crazy enough to pull him off)

Tallest Miyuki: Lynne Lipton: She has such a wide range of voices; I would love to hear an old pro play the Princess Dianna of tallests, Miyuki ^^)

Tallest Spork: Lorenzo Music (I just hear his voice coming out of that goofball 1-day tallest; no logical explanation why)

Floog: Travis Oates (because John Fielder has long passed away. Floog wouldn't gave the piglet stutter though XD)

I think I covered everybody.
