Description If I could have had anything good happen on the show for poor Dib, this would be it.  I honestly think this is what he needs most in the world, just a big, freaking hug from his dad.  Not to be called insane, or reprimanded, or thrown in the Crazy House, or to hear the phrase 'Real Science!' over and over... just to know he's got a father that loves him and is proud of him no matter what.  I think Dib really loves and admires his dad, and wants his attention so badly, and I wish that just for once he could have it, without having to give up who he is.  

I don't think the Professor is a bad guy necessarily, just not-so-good at being a father to Dib.  He's better, it seems, with Gaz for some reason, and it always made me sad that he could never give that same affection to his son, or clone, or experiment or whatever it was they planned on revealing Dib to be.  I don't think it matters; to Dib, Professor Membrane is his dad and always will be, and he'll always want his dad's love and approval.  Just once, Professor, you need to tell your son, "I love you."

I'll admit, even I teared up a few times while working on this one   I feel like it's kinda sad, but sweet at the same time.  I hope you all like it.

I kept thinking about my grandpa while drawing this, too, so I want to dedicate this to him.  I'd give anything to be able to hug him again like this.

Edit: This great drawing also helped inspire me when I saw it.  I just couldn't stop thinking about how it made me feel, so I wanted to draw something with that same, sweet, happy feeling.  yommii.deviantart.com/art/Dood…  The pic I'm referring to is the one in the bottom left corner, tho I think all the sketches are cool ^^

I would love to see Dib's reaction if Prof. Membrane, or Gaz, (or anyone for that matter, minus Zim) just came up to him and just out of the blue gave him a great, big, affectionate, sincere, unexpected hug. I'd think he'd be confused but would also appreciate the sudden love.

In a way, I think that Membrane loves Dib more than he lets on; he did defend Dib's "crazy ranting" when Gaz got mad about it in one episode.

It kinda reminds me of a parent defending their (possibly undiagnosed) autistic child. (I have Asperger's Syndome, so I can kinda see Dib as an autistic kid.)

Spectra22 In reply to Erica-Sakura [2015-07-19 10:31:12 +0000 UTC]

I think so too.  I know he loves Dib, but he doesn't do the best job of showing it, though he has stuck up for him before.  

I think Membrane thinks he's doing what's best for Dib, like when he let them put him in the Crazy House in the Halloween episode.  He thought he was doing the right thing, and only wanted Dib to get some help, but he just doesn't understand his son and doesn't listen to him when he starts in with all his paranormal talk.  I think that's their biggest issue, that they just don't understand each other.  Membrane doesn't get Dib's obsession with the paranormal, and Dib doesn't understand his father's attraction to "real science."  They love each other, but I think their differences get in the way of their relationship.

EdwardX1 In reply to Spectra22 [2015-07-20 00:57:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. What Membrane needs to learn is that Dib is trying to widen our understanding of the universe. That's what real science is about, right? Dib already understands "real science" and is very good at it. Membrane should understand the importance of discovery.

I'd say the worst Membrane does is when he leaves Dib hanging in the Halloween episode. Especially since it was his device that got Dib into that situation.

But for the most part he does show kindness to him. Afterall, he brought the kid back to life and gave him super armor to protect himself..

Oh god...    You don't know how much I appreciate you saying that  Thank you ^^  I would kill at this point to meet either of them, but yes, I'd especially like to see Andy's reaction.  Oh man, if he did tear up though I'd probably start crying and yelling, "Oh god, no!  I made Dib cry!   " lol

Yeah, when it comes to taking a side either Dib's or Zim's I'm always conflicted so it's always 50/50 but…   Its more of a 50.5 for Dib's side

Oh yeah, I don't think he's a bad father, exactly, and I know the Professor loves Dib, I just think he's bad at showing it.  For me it's not a lack of love, per se, but a lack of attention.  Sure, he's busy with important, world-changing stuff, and he gets some points for having those floating screens all over his house rather than leaving his kids with no one at all, but some actual one-on-one time with his son, I think, would go such a long way in showing he cares.

Frikkan [2014-12-04 17:01:59 +0000 UTC]

I know how much Dib really need a bit love, but even since I found out that he would have killed Zim, if Jhonen where allowed to make it happen, even since then, even since f*cking then, I've see him as a little demon that doesn't deserve anything else than shit!......love him anyways and still rooting for him though ^^

Spectra22 In reply to Frikkan [2014-12-05 05:34:38 +0000 UTC]

Sounds like you've got some pretty complicated feelings about Dib  Yeah, even I admit he's pulled some pretty dick moves, especially towards Zim, but I still can't help but love 'im.  And Zim seems to dish it out just as much as he takes it, so I can't feel too bad for him ^^

Frikkan In reply to Spectra22 [2014-12-05 07:58:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh it's not only Dib have complicated feelings for, Zim is also a member of that category, but since I really like the character of Zim a lot more, I automatically hate Dib for being a dick to him, but I mean c'mon, look at this picture, It's an impossibility to not love him, he's so cute and have a awesome personality and character design with the hair and the cape, the cape, J gave him a cape, have you seen the cape?? ....I love the cape....




(it's actually a jacket (what a plot twist) but it could be a cape)
