So I’ve been working on a new Invader Zim fanfic / AU recently. Basically the premise is “Invader Zim but if I wrote it” type thing. It has my own characterizations, headcanons, interpretations, changes, explorations etc. It’s very self indulgent lmao. :)

It takes place a more technology advanced 2001 in Detroit, Michigan. (well a weird fictional version of it anyway.). and it has a scemo and alternative type vibe.

(Note: this AU does have ZaDr. If you do not like ZaDr, then don’t read.)

heres the fic summary:

Zim, a 11 year old Irken is sent to conquer mysterious planet “Urth” as a “top secret” mission by his Almighty Tallests, Red and Purple. He believes that this is a top secret mission, but that is further than the truth.

He meets a “Urthinoid” boy his age, Dibert “Dib” Membrane. A weird and kind of unhinged boy with a not-so-good reputation. His only friend is this other boy named Keef Cooksey, another social reject, who have an unlikely friendship despite their differing personalities.

Dib has a mean younger sister, Gazlene “Gaz” Membrane, who couldn’t care less about Zim.

Zim and Dib quickly become sworn enemies, but, will this be the case for the rest of their lives? Or will this be subject to change?

and here’s the fic itself (Warning please keep in mind that AE will most likely include:

Canon typical ableism, cursing and language, mentions of mental health problems (especially in Dib’s case most likely.), Queer Themes, ZaDr and TaGr, messy relationships, mentions parental issues etc. If you are sensitive to these topics, I’d suggest not reading.)
