membrane and .... membrane and this pic

This is my interpretation of what happens after dinosaurus_maj's fic "What's the use of feeling (blue)?"

Red has become Tallest and she eventually married and had two children. They eventually accept that neither of them would see one another ever again.

Or course, as fate would have it, Red's rash decision of humouring Zim leads to the defective landing on the very planet Red was forced to leave behind.

yes

This man does not love his son and you cannot change my mind.

If asked his response is just "emotions aren't scientific"

All things considered Dib's Dilemma is objectively pretty low down on the scale of ways in which Dib has been psychologically tormented over the course of canon, but I'm not sure if anything has ever made me feel so genuinely distressed about it, because the entire thing is Dib practicing genuine empathy from a place of personal experience towards someone who never has and never will do the same for him.

Something both Dib and Membrane seem to have in common is an almost pathological need to maintain their version of the Truth™ no matter the personal consequence—they cannot make concessions or compromise their views even for their own direct benefit. Only that's exactly what Dib does here, and it is genuinely just so maddeningly backwards to watch this kid go to bat for a father who has never once validated him or protected him from ridicule, specifically because he knows how unbearable it is to be constantly disrespected and disbelieved. He proves Professor Membrane right at his own expense, because it's the thing he wants most in the world and he loves his father too much to withhold it the way it's been withheld from him.

And what REALLY fucks with me is that Membrane understands exactly how significant this is (perhaps because it is exactly the thing that he's never been able to bring himself to do). He understands the sacrifice being made and still he will not do the same. I literally cannot overstate how much I hate it when this man is self-aware.

so like.. remember that really shitty wip I posted 2000 years ago? I’m still working on the video, here’s some more work in progress!! I’ve finished a lot of frames and made the first few frames look a bit less rushed but I’ve busy trying not to die so it did take a while, sorry about that. I’m still planning to finish the animatic for the whole song, you probably won’t see any more of it until it’s fully finished and colored so if you don’t see any updates, don’t worry, I’m working on it !

GREETINGS!! I AM ZIM, IRKDROID SENT BY CONTROL BRAIN!
