IZ Metal Band AU

This is actually a personal project that’s been in the works for years, and when I say years I mean like five or more! But the other day, a friend finally encouraged me to share at least a little bit about this universe I’ve been planning in my head. Oh boy, I’ve got a lot of stuff: drawings, mini comics, animations and a 30-page fan fiction story that’s still a work in progress! At the very least, I’d like to share a small fraction of what I’ve done for this alternate universe (AU) that I’ve created. WARNING: THIS IS NOT ZADR! You could interpret it that way, as I'm aware that the way I write and portray them can give off weird vibes. But I swear they're just good friends!(Yes, im aware that I sound like a historician) Anyway, I don't mind if you see it that way — the story is and will be ZADF. I’ll also be uploading some sketches and other things that I’m not too embarrassed to show!HAHA

If you can't read what it says, it's because I have the bad habit of writing like a toddler! Here's what it says!

DIB:

When Zim leaves Earth, Dib is 15 y/o and losing it. He can't believe that's the reality. He finally "accepts it" and spends the rest of his teenage years studying and trying to be like his dad, which he is pretty good at! ---- he's only really miserable in the process. At 19 y/o he finally decides to leave Earth and explore the stars (He is just running from his dad). He ends up finding the resistance and believes it is a good cause, mainly because he still has this super hero complex, he spends the next few years training to be the best of the best in the resistance. And he does at 21 y/o! just that he ends up at the best team they currently have... He finds Zim again and loses his mind. he spent years searching for him, and he resents Zim for leaving him alone on Earth. He has abandonment issues... And to make matters worse, Zim is now his new boss! He denies reality and truly believes Zim is scheming something. He looks cool as fuck and believes himself as nonchalant and a hero. But he's a fake idgaf-er he's still a loser with no friend or social sills. The only person he is close to at the beginning is Gaz who is currently on Earth- Dib calls her constantly and she is always the voice of the reason, but Dib's huge head is too big to listen to her.

ZIM:

In a series of events, Zim was banished from the irken empire. Zim left Earth when he was 16 y/o Hes currently 22 y/o on the timeline. With help of Skoodge and Lard Nard hes alive, and joined the resistance againts the Irken Empire- He despises them now. He becomes the new commander of his own troop (Nepho Baby) called the "Special Irken formation" and he is very annoying about it- His PAK is failing, so he is not as resistant as before. He needs to sleep, eat and basically act like a mortal life form- HE HATES it Chronically depressed. Child soldier with PTSD trained to be a weapon, and now learning to be still and vulnerable... not good at it. Self hate final boss. Tak and Skoodge are like his siblings. He kind of find Dib annoying. But he did missed him a little bit

There are a ton of things I'd like to say... but right now I'm working on giving at least the first 5 chapters of the fic a quick read-through! So you guys have a little more context about what the heck is going on, hahaha. That's all for now... unless...
