Haunted Cities V4 Was Crazy

haunted cities v4 was crazy

LITERALLY THIS IS WHAT I WILL SCREAM ABOUT THOUGH LIKE “STOP ENABLING/ENCOURAGING HIM”

Dib is so insecure about whether he’s good at being Earth’s hero and he’s more perceptive than about 99% of the Earth’s population but dear god he has this huge introspective blind spot for how self-inflicted his biggest bugbears are.

Bro was this close to giving a world domination roadmap suggestion to him in the comics.

Dib is explicitly necessary for Zim to even continue his invasion attempts. A ton of Zim’s most destructive inventions were the direct result of Dib antagonizing him and literally escalating petty squabbles into a full on challenge. Dib thinks he’s Batman vs the joker when some days it’s more like the joker and the riddler getting into a slap fight and the entire city around them serving as environmental collateral. He knows (or should know) that Zim is basically an unhinged enemy combatant, has barely any self restraint when it comes to his temper, and can build universe-breaking technology… and he still thinks it’s somehow a good idea to taunt & prank him with middle school bully antics for no other purpose than to really piss him off. Or worse, naively assuming somehow that personal slights roll of Zim as easily as they do him.

Like Dib, Dib…. that’s a guy with a kill count. Who genuinely thinks he’s fighting for his life, honor, and purpose in a strange world he perceives as his personal warzone. You think an Irken of his caliber was programmed/trained to not grudge over audacity from the lesser kinds, to let such insolence from the likes of you go ignored? That he’s not going to be opportunistic for any more excuses to flaunt how easily he could waste you in an instant if he ever gets through going about this the fun way instead of the practical way? He’s like a small dog running around with a Roman candle in its mouth: A competent soldier? Not remotely. Hilariously entertaining? Sure. But, extremely dangerous to everyone and everything around it nonetheless? You bet your ass. Dib’s a firefighter that for whatever reason can’t freaking resist playing with fireworks, though.

8 times Dib Membrane really needed to STFU

As in a non-conclusive handful of moments where Dib made his life immensely, impressively more difficult with nothing other than his own words

8. “Alien sleep cuffs, guaranteed to render all alien life forms unconscious.”

7. “Oh, come on! You're not mad about that whole 'leaving you to rot' thing, are you?

6. “You know Zim, when the nurse examines you, she'll notice that you don't have human organs. Then it's just a short step to a hospital and from there to an alien autopsy table and then you're just another segment on ‘Mysterious Mysteries’!”

5. “Look! It's me you want! I cast the spell on her because I wanted to see what it would do before trying it on myself!”

4. (-_ -)

3. (WHEN WILL HE LEARN)

2. (Whatever off-screen conversation took place in the movie where Zim learned the full potential of Membracelets)

1. “What about lungs?”

reblog to give the prev a hot chocolate with (optional) whipped cream and marshmallows

Might put some bullshit in the queue or pause posts for a while. Caught one of the dozen things going around right before the dang holiday. Gone sick, feels like I’m swallowing legos since Tuesday ✌️you win THIS year roulette of winter germs, but I’ll be back stronger next time.

Murry christmilk and other assorted solstice merriment, the rest of y’all. Be wary of coughing toddlers at the gatherings and get your flu stuff caught up. Best 💕
