Description

Oh, wow..... so, my friend and I can do the most angsty RPs imaginable! It's funny how they jump though - from one adorable Zim and GIR RP where the little android has his master pinned to the bed and is tickling him into submission - to one of the characters finding out they're terminally ill...

Another long explanation...

Dib is doing some housework in the Condo (as usual), but he isn't feeling like himself. He's in agony almost everywhere, can barely breathe, and barely has the strength to keep himself up. Zim - oblivious to his condition - gives a playful harmless pounce to the boy, and simply from lightly hitting his stomach on the floor, Dib gets one long and dark bruise on his abdomen.
Dib tries to convince his friends he's alright, and as proof, Zim tells him to sit up, which the child is unable to do..... After seeing the size of the bruise, Zim rushes him off to the nearest hospital, trying to convince Dib and himself that "it's for the smeets' sake", and trying to tell himself he doesn't really care.
A blood test reveals Dib's greatest fear: stage four Leukemia.. The cancer that killed his mother. He has merely a month or so to live, and he and Zim are at loss for words....
Still trying to keep himself distant and unattached, Zim attempt comfort in his words, and promises somehow he will use Dib's father's lab to find a cure. Tearfully, Dib tells him it is a sickness that cannot be stopped - especially at such an advanced stage. Realization that the child he's grown so secretly close to is going to die soon, breaks Zim, and since he's the only one there at the moment, offers a comforting hug, (certainly something you'd never expect Zim would give to Dib.) - Dib clings to him like his life depends on it, and even the nurse that comes to get Zim after visitting hours, cannot get them to let go of each other.
Because even enemies, (or in their case, friend/enemies) don't realize how much they actually need each other, and how much they care for eachother - until it is too late.

(The RP left off with Dib returning to the Condo, claiming he'd rather be with the people he loves when he dies, then hospital equipment. Tonight, we do Dib telling the kids (GIR an Talia), he's going to leave soon...........not sure whether to be excited or dreading it.)

(It is NOT ZADR, so please don't comment as a ZADR.)

I love this drawing. That sounds like an amazing roleplay. I roleplay sometimes with a friend. But I've never really done a whole Invader Zim roleplay but I would totally love to. I'm kind of obsessed with that show and the only character I know I can roleplay well is Gir. I just love him. In fact your drawing gives me a bit of an idea. I always wondered how Dib would feel if Zim got sick now that he's changed and not completely cruel. I know Dib is not really a tough hearted character but I can see a lot of feelings about that for Zim and struggling to ask for help and some such. It's great that there's another IZ fan out there. I might consider roleplaying if someone will do it with me.

It feels like just yesterday we were... oh wait... it was!

Anyways... I think you did... fantastic on this! It is... very touching and I think it captures the emotions so perfectly!

It was just... so tearful. So many tears..... so many kleenexes.... at least a box. Seriously.... I could barely see my SCREEN!! It was quite intense.

And... I think I told you this...... er..... Dylan came in and was all, why are you crying and being such a girl!? ( Well... cause I AM a girl, you dingnut... ) Anywho, he came in and said that, and I was all "DIB IS.... DYING!" He's all.... "good...." then walks away.

ಠ_ಠ Oh well...

Hmm... Zim's arm looks a bit funny.... his sleeve isn't attatched to anything.... or is it

Technically, two days ago.

I could whack Dylan for that....

Vee-Ro In reply to gembutterfly [2010-07-06 17:10:39 +0000 UTC]

Well... NOW two days ago... but I commented by like... 11:57pm so it was still a day ago then... or something.

I did whack him.... well... depends on what you mean by whack... like... legit whack or just a smack, but I got him upside the head.

Okay... so it is attatched to something. I was thinking maybe Zim was a magician or something.

You should not have looked at this. I know how you feel about Dib...

IZ angst is the best. Angst is something not seen in the show.

Yeah...Id and Ego were fighting within my brain. And it seems that Id kicked Ego in the face.

Wait, how'd you know how I felt about Dib?

I know, right?? It should have been in the show...then again, it probably wouldn't have been on Nickelodeon, EVER, had that happened.

(I find it odd you comment on something totally IZ, and not on the IZ/Toy Story Three crossover. )

We're just.....terrible people. We love angst friendship for some reason. I think it's because in role plays with really tough hearted characters, we love doing something to expose the soft side in them.
