A few random thoughts on Zootopia.

I appreciate the writers not leaning too TOO heavily into the whole, "The snake has to talk with am overexaggerted 'Ssssssssss" trope." Otherwise every time Gary said Judy Hopps' name would've been irritating. 😅

2. Thinking about Zootopia 3....the pattern from the first two has been about predators being judged unfairly.

In the first movie, while we (the audience) experiend the case mainly through Nick's eyes, it was the societal preds of Zootopia as a whole who were victims, as they were the only ones going savage, going missing, and blamed for causing tension in the city. And ultimately, the preds were framed by prey animals (Bellwhether and her 'flock' of cronies.....get it? Flock? Lol...ahem, anyway...) and Judy and Nick pretty much cleared their names.

In the second movie we can tell that the relationship between preds and preys has eased a bit, but it's still there. Preds are still blamed. This time, a snake. And this time, framed by another pred: Lynxes. And on a societal stage for GENERATIONS.

So third movie, what are we expecting? I imagine birds, and pred birds specifically, being framed/societally outcased...but by whom? Mainly prey? Mainly preds? Or a conspiracy of both (since Nick let over 100 criminals out of prison, pred and prey, trying to save Judy 😅. So will Bellwhether partner with some pred animal? OR will we be introduced to a completely new aninal controlling the entire narrative--even pulling Bellwhether's strings (maybe without her realizing))?

ALSO you can have "pred and prey" birds. So I wonder if the story line will be a "framed/false narrative" of birds attacking or wronging other birds? Or birds attacking the existing mammals of Zootopia? (Like, IRL Eagles and Vultures will eat fellow birds, AND non-bird creatures. So would they be blamed for attacking fellow/smaller birds; the current Zootopia mammals we know; Or both?)

I can see something where birds hear about/start moving to Zootopia. An incident happens in a public square where like and Eagle is blamed for scaring/intimidating a smaller, prey animal (when he was just being overly-friendly and saying hi). And maybe we kind see the beginning of how that kind of prejudice festers rather than seeing the affects of long-term/pre-established prejudice--generational (Zootopia 2) and modern (Zootopia 1).

I DUNNO JUST RANDON THOUGHTS I WANTED TO PUT OUT IN THE TUMBLR VOID.

But ultimately, unless the writers change the pattern) we've gotta have the birds (I think of the pred variety) societally blamed or prejudiced for something they didn't do by some prey character(s), and Judy, Nick, and Gary have to clear them.

Thoughts?

(PS I kinda want there to be a sheep character that's NOT evil/part of Bellwhether's crew....or maybe they ARE but they doublecross her, just to mix things up!)

Life lessons from Reddit: 

Do not propose at a wedding, unless the bride and the groom have both specifically given you their permission and your significant other has confirmed that a public proposal is okay.

Do not announce your pregnancy right after your sibling or sibling-in-law has suffered a miscarriage.

If anybody in your family is struggling with infertility, you should probably tell them about your pregnancy before you tell anybody else. That way they will have had the time to come to terms with it and won't throw a tantrum when you make a public announcement.

Do not invite yourself into anybody's delivery room. Giving birth is not a spectator sport.

Do not move a new partner into your house without letting your child know in advance. This is especially important if your significant other has offspring who will have to share your child's room. Living arrangements must be discussed beforehand, with all the children. Inconvenience is easier to tolerate when you have had a chance to mentally prepare yourself.

When staying with a family member or a friend for an extended period of time, you are not entitled to sleep in their bed. If you want privacy, get a room at a hotel.

There is a difference between lethal allergies and preferences. Actual needs take priority before preferences.

Do not assume. Talk things over.

Money is a major source of family feuds. Be wary of this.

Collage had ran late again, and rather than having to deal with Seto's complaints about needing to reorganize a meeting to pick him up or some other lame excuse - Atem had decided to attempt to walk back to his apartment. Soon though he was forced to take shelter in a bus stop as the heavens flooded the sky, his eyes scanning around the area. Was he lost?

He blinked as he spotted movement nearby, feeling the puzzle warm up slightly against his chest. Wait - was something out there? It should really be none of his business but if it was something dangerous... He no doubt summoned it here.

"Is anyone there?" He called as he moved to stand outside and next to where the moment had came from. He was soaked now. Great.
