#i like contrasting this episode against that one comics issue with gaz cryptid hunting with dib to cover for poisoning him

There's something quintessentially very sibling-ish in Dib's ability to simultaneously maintain his perception of Gaz as a walking personification of nightmare capable of turning his life into a living hell AND as the helpless little sister he needs to protect

#invader zim #dib #gaz #membrane family #iz posting #natterings #with a head that big is it any surprise it can contain such multitudes #in all seriousness though i love them and their disaster dynamic #which in many ways feels like one of the most bizarrely realistic dysfunctional sibling dynamics ive ever seen in fiction #which is a fun irony coming from a show as shamelessly absurd as iz #some day ill snap and actually write out the membrane family meta i have in my head #theres so much i could articulate about them if i wasnt too lazy to write it out #ANYWAY #i like contrasting this episode against that one comics issue with gaz cryptid hunting with dib to cover for poisoning him #because it really is nearly the exact same scenario in reverse #and i sort of love the implication that these two will do basically anything to protect each other #but only AFTER theyve intentionally risked their well-being for petty/selfish reasons
