Home page for my Defective Dib Au, a species swap au, but set on Irk instead of Earth! Because I had never seen that before. I still haven't seen it, now that I think about it. Links first explanations after!
  • Canon-Drawings and sketches that I consider Canon to the Au!
  • Bonus-Little bonus drawings and interactions, not canon to the Au(Stuff like Canon!Dib and Zim interacting with their Au counterparts)
  • Comic-A single comic page, from when I tried to do a comic, I realized I didn't really wanna do that after I made one, might put more here if I ever make any more full pages, but I doubt it. See the "Canon" page for new stuff.
  • Old-The first couple comics and drawings I did of this Au, way back in 2018, I'm planning on re-drawing these.

Defective Dib!

Defective Dib is an Au I came up with in 2018, drew a few things for, and took years to come back to. It holds a special place in my heart, as it's the first Au I really created, and the only Au that I've made that's pretty different from canon.

Okay but what is it?

Defective Dib is an Irken!Dib Au that's set on Irk instead of Earth, the original concept was "Irken Dib gets labeled 'defective' after sharing conspiracy theories and is sent back to Irk for re-training"

I basically wanted to explore how Irken Dib would react to a human Zim showing up and trying to take over Irk!

Differences from canon!(And other worldbuilding)

  • The Irken Empire's growth accelerator is broken! Which means they can't just kill recruits when they deviate slightly because it takes forever to replace them
  • Attempting to "Re-train" defectives back on Irk is the first resort
  • The Irken Empire's had some budget cuts, so the defectives have to train with the new recruits instead of having their own class
  • Humans do NOT have faster than light travel, Zim somehow built a spaceship to get to Irk. No one knows how. Not even Zim.
  • All Trainees have a specific "track" they're on, which determines their classes
    • Gaz is Invader Track
    • Dib is Researcher Track
    • Zim is also Invader Track
  • There are other Tracks as well, but Researcher and Invader are the ones most focused on
  • The Tallest is, of course, Professor Membrane, cause who else would it be?
  • Dress code is a bit more lax than in canon, but all Irkens MUST wear some shade of Irken Pink or Purple on their person at all times!
  • Those on Invader Track must wear stripes!

Some of this stuff is for me, so I don't forget, I plan on making all this clear through the drawings eventually.
