I know. Zootopia gets pretty dark when you think about it, especially when you consider the original concepts they had for the movie. Most people write that stuff as AU (Alternate Universe) "Zitopia" stuff, but I'm working it into my post-movie fanfic, where, before Lionheart got elected, preds had to wear shock collars, which ends up coming back after a while because of Bellweather's supporters. It actually causes Nick AND Judy to start questioning how worthwhile it is to be part of the ZPD, Nick especially because of the history behind Wilde Times and the fact that Judy has made him feel proud of the fact he's a predator and what being a predator means, where before he'd feel along the lines of "I'll never have a better life because I was born the wrong species".



Combine this was a plots involving homelessness, 'population control', genocide, and drug dealers selling weak "Nightpowder" so preds can feel what its like to connect with their instincts (sensations Nick gets addicted to because of his relationship with Judy), and you probably have my darkest and bloodiest fanfic since my Overlord series.
