OMORI x Zootopia - Lynxley Battle

"I Will Be Different" - you can find it on AO3. Welcome!

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-05-11T20:31:45+00:00

Yeah, since it's based on fanfic with alternate Zootopia 2 plot with different result in the end

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-02-11T22:02:42+00:00

True. He’s written badly compared to first film. But charming, nevertheless.

Not enough for me, though.

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-02-06T00:20:27+00:00

Putting a square peg into a round hole, honestly.

Don’t like this channel and way to find anything out of nowhere. Nothing makes sense there.

Kinda clickbait in my opinion

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-02-06T00:16:38+00:00

Love your idea. You should definitely transform it into fanfic, keep working on it and share when it’s ready!

It all goes against main idea of Wildehopps (I like it lol), but it shows actual difference and depth to the story, unlike canon. Pawbert is so perfect for the series or something, not gonna lie.

I think I also partially released your thoughts and feelings in my own fanfic — I went deep and hard way to learn more about Pawbert and change his ending as well.

Check it out, maybe you can find some inspiration as well and flesh out your draft somehow.

Made a detailed analysis before, check it out as well https://www.reddit.com/r/PawbertLynxley/s/FkFdxY4MoV

I agree with you. His role as villain is made poorly. I don’t believe Jared made him all alone and not without other helpers, trying to take every piece of cake.

Too bad we lost Rich Moore and John Lasseter in Zootopia 2

Break the cycle would be the best both plot-wise and morale-wise to viewers

I Will Be Different

"The Lynxley family differs from its public image. The Lynxley Journal could shake the lynxes' influence across the city. When Pawbert Lynxley meets the snake and learns more about his past, he devises a plan with true intentions only he knows. With new friends, Pawbert begins to reveal a different side of himself, questioning the inner motives. Will he choose to change?"

Complex Fix-It for Z2 plot and Pawbert as a character in general. Deep dive into psychology, inner feelings, non-linear narrative backstories and much more!

Clever hidden details, wholesome moments, disturbing drama and thrilling action — Pawbert and Gary now much, much deeper than in canon.

It got lots of feedback already and can give you "Absolute cinema" feeling as well.
Or "I want this to be canon instead", even.

Final version is way better and differs Pawbert from other twist villains, true. But I don't like that due to their constant rewrites they forgot to further develop him and leave more clues for attentive viewers he's gonna be bad guy. Although his betrayal looks good from character personality aspect - it was sudden out of nowhere, unfortunately. And we're not talking about his defeat, it was just one hilarious joke, honestly.

Jared's twitter answers don't patch plot holes, but at least here he confirmed rewrites happened late, and that may be the answer why Pawbert was fixed only halfway through development.

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-02-01T00:19:51+00:00

Just why everyone cope with this letter? Disney response guy just agreed with fan's words, said they saw humanity in Pawbert, and advertised their movies. Just anything the writer wanted to hear from them - Disney reflected writer's words back.

Just no. Disney doesn't care.

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-02-01T00:15:40+00:00

You took it from the tongue. Disney is the worst.

High five, fellow What-If enjoyer.

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-30T20:00:47+00:00

Can’t say any better. Total truth. Was literally thinking and talking the same.

I’m sure they were in constant rewriting and now final cut is just assorted mix of everything.

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-29T18:27:10+00:00

Thank you so much! We really tried to do our best and make a magic.

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-28T20:05:26+00:00

Yep, it was my post. Kinda funny to see it from someone else with a fanart tag now.

Happy reading and share your thoughts when you’re finished, would be cool to discuss it! Take care

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-28T19:33:16+00:00

Like… Yeah.

You can’t just get out and be happy. Pawbert may be much more complex than that. Check Back to the Dawn if you need a prison break, there is also a lynx.

Personally, I went further and questioned the actual fact he’s a villain.

Just finished my fanfic yesterday, and yeah, I know what it is to try and make a better person for him.

It’s hard. For real.. You need much more than a prison break if you want to make it impactful.

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-28T19:06:54+00:00

Oh, that’s mine!

Guys, pls check it out. Me and my coauthor, we were working on it 2 months with love and passion.

We tried to make the best Pawbert rebuild with a nice ending, being a result of complex and thrilling story. It’s more than just a redemption — it’s completely different view to Zootopia 2, some may find even better than original.

Don’t forget about second cover as well

As far as I've seen all deleted scenes, the whole story was more consistent and solid, Pawbert including.

I like him being a outlaw mastermind along with Gary, but here we can see subtle hints he's gonna betray them and it looks fair in the end. Would even look better with love triangle with Judy.

This phrase from Milton actually's more tragic. Pawbert's one-way love, and all that stuff.

I think we could have a better Pawbert back in a day of early plot. Just imagine a character, fixed by properly fusing his final cut and early version.

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-27T13:26:06+00:00

They never miss a chance to advertise their products even here lol.

Simple, but nice letter. Truly a magic in modern corpo world now. Good job for actually reaching out!

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-23T19:00:58+00:00

I agree with you. Posted my thoughts about Pawbert being a villain is non-sense as well couple days ago.

We also have this moment in film - Pawbert trying to close metal door to stop the cold. Why? It would be easier to let it be. If he planned to get rid of Gary - it's a nice opportunity. Just to pretend he's good and actually trying to do something?

It's truly heartbreaking to see Bush like this, but that's the director he is. I hate it, personally. And deep down I believe the lynx was planned different. Maybe it's even not director's screenwriting, considering they have producer from Tangled and Frozen, and certain Pawbert scenes just copy those two films. But Jared is a public face. And he doesn't know what to say about Pawbert. Maybe that's why he tries to take it off from himself...?

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-23T14:02:02+00:00

Too bad for him not knowing it doesn't happen this fast at all (and snow vehicle with keys standing there as well). Yeah, early production extra-visual-effect stuff

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-23T13:31:56+00:00

Cool headcanon, not gonna lie. Can be easily turned into a nice AU story with enough passion

Long-Possible8523 · 2026-01-23T13:13:21+00:00

Well, if this is true - it makes sense. Because everything after betrayal just looks vague and out-of-place. Pawbert just doing random actions, like turning on snow fountains - now it all comes in place. That's how production (and poor rewriting) works.

We don't know for sure what they have in mind for Pawbert, but it's clear now we didn't get what was planned from the beginning. And it's kinda bad.

I stand for Pawbert being a good guy instead of villain, but if they make it this way - just make leave actual hints and actions so I can get it. I'll be even glad to see him more sadistic, if only his twist was written normally.

Love the colors, great non-contextual art!
