I wish Dib luck with Zim now that he knows the truth cause getting that little alien to admit what's really going on is like trying to steal snacks from the Tallest. Doable but you need a lot of time and planning put into it before you try

wonder if Dib will try to psychoanalyze the Tall when he meets them

loved Gaz making an appearance in this chapter even though she was kinda scary towards the end … then again its Gaz so that's normal

after this chapter maybe Dib should combine his love of the paranormal with his degree and become a councillor for the paranormal

loved all of Dib's inner thoughts in this chapter and that he got a new trench coat, he isn't Dib without one

I couldn't help but laugh when Dib escaped I bet in cannon he's used that exact same scenario on Gir

I can totally see Dib's inner child screaming at the end of this chapter

baby step forward and then a huge step back for Dib

at least the first session didn't end in Zim putting a squid in Dib or erasing his brain

love the start to your story and can't wait to see how an older Dib handles Zim and vice verse

Here we go again.

I love the idea of older!Dib helping Zim in some way. Reminds me of The Discount Smeet.

Keep it up! 8DDDDD

Ngl this is one of the earliest fics I remember reading and that was literal years ago but this fic is so good I still remember it and I still love it

Thanks for writing/sharing :D

I just read this whole thing in two days. Or is it three? I'm not too sure. Anyway, I really like this story, it digs into Zims mind, albeit from anoutside perspective, why he is how he is. Having Dib as a counselor was brilliant, and it was interesting to see how he might have turned out if he grew up without Zim around.

Also, loved the references sprinkled around this fic, especially the PPG one.

lol, that Lovecraft ref is even funnier when you take into account that Zim actually created Cthulu and it ate two Tallests. That episode would have made him the first Nickelodeon protagonist with an actual kill count xD Dib really has no idea how scared he should be, it's so hilarious!

Pal, the prospect of Zim and Peri engaged in a discussion is enought to shatter anyone's eardrums, granted as the fact Dib is gonna end his scyte hair due to stress
