Knowing that that is just a projection of dead dib and zim is getting way too enthralled with it despite knowing that it’s not really him is very sad. Like, he’s falling in love with the idea that he’s created of him.
A happier scenario would be Dib is in the hospital or something and Zim needs proof he's his friend in order to see him. Thinking Dib's dead makes me sad!
Hey, don’t post like 50 emojis with every single comment you write, just telling you it’s a bad look. There are people on the Internet that get really aggravated about it.
1:10 i imagine this as a triggering moment because headcanon: zim used dib’s offer to be friends then killed him to have no one in the way of him rulling earth, but in the process falls for him. But he still continues with the plan- and that hurts him a lot
@@kioku.4747 I sadly have not... I found something in the comments something about the love bug au but that wa s a bust since I can't find the original peice only fanart. Apperntly the first conversail peice in the Fandom which is a bummer ontop of a bummer.
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!?!!? LIKE WTF, ok, now my favorite part is 1:08 until the end! the ''dance'' and the characters expressions are very good, it's cool that you kept gir a little peace of shit, but still helped zim at the end and wrote nice stuff
I try to think of it as instead if dib being dead in this, zim is just trying to prove to the tallest that they were friends without having dib actually be there (that way dib is alive he is just an asshole)
I didn't realize this was supposed to be the lovebug au until I saw Gir's little fuzzy collar thingy. And now I don't know what to think because that's my favorite au but what this song implies... ouch. I'm... just gonna imagine everything is okay and the plot is different x)
Words cannot express how much i love this, as a concept alone is already a masterpiece! My goodness is so perfect!! I didn't knew about this song's context but now that i do i just so beautiful and perfect and a tragic, i love it.
I know this au I feel bad for our little alien pal I’m pretty sure either dib made these before he died or he is talking through some sorta ghost communicator or something I forget some of the au it’s been a hot minute since I have seen the au or maybe even zim made this just to remember him
Dib got kidnapped by aliens; Zim (and everyone else) think he's dead because Dib left a note that got misinterpreted. (For example, "I'm through trying to prove myself to you in ways you'll never understand," when he meant he was going to prove himself in a way everyone *did* understand, but that got misinterpreted.) After a few months Zim will get a transmission from Dib that Dib sent in the vague direction of Earth hoping someone on Earth hears it and at the very least he'll have proven himself even if he's not there to see it. By then Zim is absolutely infatuated by his memories of Dib and this fictional version of Dib built with Gir and his computer using his memories, who he knows is intelligent enough to be his nemeisis, but listens to him and gives him the positive attention he's always wanted. Zim obviously jumps at rhe chance to rescue Dib, and Dib is understandably baffled by and suspicious of this development. Zim is acting different, protective, appreciative. He doesn't want to lose Dib again. Then you can go angst, friendship, or romance. I personally like the idea that the first time Zim gets pushback from Dib (probably over an aspect of the escape plan) that he never would have gotten from the hologram, he's thrilled and terrified by it. Thrilled because this is exactly what was missing from his holo-Dib, all this time. Terrified because everything he's shared with holo-Dib, the close bond they had, the trust he built, none of that was real for Dib even if it felt real to Zim. Terrified because he wants it to be real for both of them; he doesnt want to lose it. Then that terror turns to hope when Dib asks for Zim's input. He's hopeful he can try to build it again with this Dib, the real Dib, the Dib he really wants, the Dib who made him better all these years of battling wits. Zim will have to listen and consider Dib's point of view if he wants this Dib to do the same for him, and Zim will be rewarded by insights a hologram could never give, and a closeness impossible to achieve with a projection he could never touch.
Yes Dib is dead, I don't have a full backstory rn honestly but thats the basics. it's based on a tumblr users au by the name of trukristianity. The Au is called love bug au, if you didn't know that part UwU and thank you very much!
For the ones who don't want Dib to be dead, we could just imagine that he's simply missing! Somewhere in space. His family, and maybe even Zim, could think that he's dead but in reality he's just struggling to get back home or something 😅😊
Question, what is this email and hologram supposed to be for? Sometimes I like to have an idea of what's happening in these things, sorry. It's still really good!
I keep coming back to this animatic and I'm just as confused every time I watch it. I know it's Lovebug au from the dead tired look Dib has but, I don't know anything about the au.
Not so fun fact; if you recall, in Dibship Rising, Dib decided to rewrite Tak’s ship with his own personality / mind, but once Dib-Ship realizes what’s going on and recalls some past memories, it decides to commit suicide, and just a friendly reminder; Dib rewrote Tak’s ship with HIS personality / mind, so this might be implying that Dib not only hates himself, but that he’s also suicidal. Not only that, but in one episode of the show that never came out, Zim splashes people with goo that makes them explode whenever they’re super happy, but he fails to due so with Dib, and Dib states that this is because he’s never super happy. That’s not even the worst part about this, though. The worst part is that it was confirmed at the beginning of Enter The Florpus that Dib is canonically 12. So Dib is a suicidal 12-year-old. Jeez, that is all heartbreaking… 😭
