What if Invader Zim started out with a different opinion of the humans? What if Zim had got a whole new perspective and understanding of right and wrong while on Earth? What if Dib had no filter whatsoever, which resulted with him having beef with his fellow classmate(s)? What if Dib wasn't trusting or trustworthy. Zim is more down to earth (Literally. LAUGH.) in this au but still a walking danger sign. But otherwise, is still the same cocky alien a fanbase of lots love. Since Zim has a slight change of characteristic, relationships he has with other characters based within the context Invader Zim changes. Trigger warnings consist of character death, mentions of depression, and slight violence. Does this even count as mature because of the warnings? Please keep in mind that I do change the chapters sometimes if I find that particular chapter wonky and too straight forward. I do sometimes go back and try to re-polish the chapters I don't like. I'm writing this for fun and for the practice. (11/15/23, Hello! this story is currently being modified/under revision, and changed in small aspects, like the writing style and such. But don't worry, you can still read the story and enjoy the parts that are already out, just know that later they will be updated. Thank you for your time!)
