Dib has become quite the shut-in in his mid twenties. He's moved out of his dads house, and into his own run down apartment in the city. He spends a lot of time investigating the paranormal, mostly stalking Zim through the internet, or whatever equivalent the Irken empire has to the cloud. His work keeps him glued to his computers, and for this reason, he's kind of let himself go. He's maintained connection with the "Swollen Eyeball Network", (a group of paranormal investigators like himself) as well as being a mod of his own online server, dedicated to the paranormal. He wears a trench coat, fingerless gloves, the occasional fedora, chip dust on his fingers... am I painting a clear picture here? He's ALWAYS drinking soda.

Older Dib is less maladjusted than 12 year old Dib. His ego is a little smaller, and he's able to take himself less seriously. He's also able to get out of his own head, and take the feelings of others into consideration... sometimes. Being a shut-in isn't doing him any favors; he's far from perfect. He can be obnoxious, and unaware of how he comes off to other people. He REALLY gets on Dippers nerves at times. He and Billy can be a dangerous combination, the two being akin to Spongebob and Patrick, with Dipper being Squidward.

For voice reference, you can watch some Dib moments from Invader Zim. I'd recommend watching the episode "Dib's Wonderful Life of Doom" because although this part of the episode is technically not "canon," It shows an older Dib, who has a more adult voice. Also, this is a very Dib-centric episode, so you can hear him talk a lot. Here's a link to the episode. (I hope this project doesn't get flagged or something for having a link to wco. 😬 there really wasn't a comprehensive compilation on youtube, although you can search around for Dib clips yourself!) Dibs voice should be similar to his canon voice, the same personality shining through, but also a little deeper, since he's older. Creative interpretation is also cool!

Note: I've provided a few lines, the second two being from my second animation idea. I'm 100% ok with, and encourage improvisation on these lines. They don't need to be exact, be creative if you want! If you are feeling up for it or are inspired, improvise your own lines too! Come up with whatever wacky thing you want, whatever you think Dib might say. I'm super excited to hear your audition.

Note #2: Dibs trails off in the first line, because he's about to ask for a "Poop." Poop in Invader Zim is Earths big soda brand. Dib remembers that he's in Dippers universe, and corrects himself to say Pitt instead - the Gravity Falls soda brand.
