Zootopia Scenes and Shorts: 'Match'

"All right," Judy said as she reached for her phone on the table, "it's been fifteen minutes since we submitted. Let's check." Nick picked up his phone and tapped on the zHarmony app. It had been Judy's idea for each of them to register on the dating site while they waited for their food to arrive at the restaurant. She and Nick were perfect for each other—they'd have to match, she thought. "What!?" the rabbit exclaimed. "How did I get 11,807 matches!?" She started scrolling through the results, every one a fellow bunny. She looked across the table to Nick. "How many did you get?" "Zero," the fox replied. "Just a message that I'm incompatible." Judy frowned as she put her phone back down. "I'm sorry, Nick. I thought it would be romantic to see us match with each other on a dating site. I didn't mean for this to happen." "Carrots," Nick said as he tapped on his phone a little, "I don't care what an algorithm thinks about us. I only care what we think about us." He held his phone up

Zootopia Scenes and Shorts: 'Trick or Treat'

Nick was a little nervous taking his fox son on his first trick or treat. He remembered all the rocks he had gotten when his mother took him around as a kit. But the first home, the second, the third—no one, prey or predator, treated the four-year-old police officer with disrespect. Nick smiled seeing all the loot his boy was getting—chocolate bars, peanut butter cups, Z&Z's, even chocolate-covered blueberries. "Want one, Dad?"

Operation: Fluffy Pink Sugar

A Penguins of Madagascar fanfic A brief note: This story is the first sequel I have written, a short continuation of my fanfic Beyond DNA. While you will likely be able to understand much of this sequel without having read the original, you will enjoy it the most if you are familiar with Beyond DNA. December 6, 2022 2:35 a.m. Marlene was speechless. Ever since their marriage began, she had always wanted to adopt a child with Skipper, but he had always told her that he wasn't cut out to be a parent. He didn't have the right temperament, his work was too dangerous, he just wasn't cuddly enough. But here he was with an adorable little penguin chick resting peacefully in his flipper. Marlene's eyes filled with tears. "She's beautiful, Skipper." Skipper set down the flashlight he was holding and began to pet the chick gently on the head. "Her name is MaryRose Elizabeth Fidelis, and she's given me the best promotion I've ever received. I'm not just Captain Skipper anymore—I'm Daddy."

Beyond DNA A Penguins of Madagascar fanfic Chapter 8: "Epilogue: Surprises" December 6, 2022 It was around 2:30 a.m. when the sound of the penguins' food dish being slid over to expose the entrance to the HQ broke the dead silence of the night, though none of the five flightless birds inside were awake to hear it. Seconds later, a figure began to descend the ladder, stopping after a few rungs to press a button on a key chain to turn off the HQ's security system before continuing down to the bottom. After making contact with the floor, the figure proceeded to the penguins' bunks and scanned them from top to bottom, smiling upon making out Skipper's sleeping form in the bottommost one. The visitor then found a nearby cot, dragged it over to be in front of and level with Skipper's bunk, and then lay down on it before beginning to cuddle up with Skipper. "Who's there!" Skipper shouted as he sprang awake. He rolled over and pinned the intruder in a tenth of a second flat. "You haven't

Beyond DNA: Chapter 7 of 8

Beyond DNA A Penguins of Madagascar fanfic Chapter 7: "The Inevitable Question" When morning arrived at the penguin HQ, Private was the first one awake. After spending a moment or two wondering why he and Rico were lying on the floor, he recalled the long night of television and reasoned that they must have fallen asleep at some point while watching. Remembering that MaryRose had also been watching TV with them far into the night, he looked for her in the space between them but found that she was no longer there. "Skipper must have taken her," he thought as he turned toward the bunks. But instead of seeing Skipper holding MaryRose as he expected, Private saw an empty bunk with what appeared to be a piece of paper on his leader's pillow. Hoping it would provide an answer, Private waddled over to Skipper's bunk and picked up the paper. He read the short note that Skipper had written on it, but he didn't understand what it meant. After reading it a second time, Private reached into

Beyond DNA A Penguins of Madagascar fanfic Chapter 6: "Scrambled Egg" December 4, 2022 It was Alice's second-favorite time of day. "Ah, lunch," she said to herself as she sat down alone in the zoo's office. She removed the Subway sandwich she had purchased nearby from its wrapping and looked it over. "No kids. No tourists asking me where the bathrooms are. No . . . penguins. No one here but you, you delicious nine-dollar footlong. Of course, I do remember when you used to cost just five dollars—curse you, inflation." She was about to take a bite when there was a knock at the door. She groaned. "Go away, we don't want any." "What was that?" the man outside asked. Alice sighed. "Nothing. I'll be right there." She set her sandwich down and then opened the door. "Can I help you?" "Dr. Roland DeGrego from the Maryland Zoo," the man said, offering Alice his hand. "Your colleague said you'd be in here—I hope I'm not interrupting anything important. I just drove up from Baltimore, and

"Is there anything you'd like us to bring back?" "Well," Skipper said, "rumor has it our zoo now has a breadstick vendor over by Ted's habitat. I could go for a little sample—extra sauce!" Kowalski smiled and tapped his clipboard. "Already on my list, sir." "Great work, Kowalski." Skipper smiled back, offered a salute, and then watched as his three teammates exited. "Daddy, where do Uncle Kowalski, Uncle Private, and Uncle Rico go every morning?" MaryRose asked as she sat with her father on the floor of the HQ. "That's classified, sweetie," he replied. MaryRose looked up at him, confused. Skipper chuckled. "I'm just kidding. Most of the time they're either training or off on a mission of some sort. Your uncles and I form an elite group that

"MaryRose has nearly doubled her weight since she hatched last week." He lifted MaryRose from the scale and handed her back to Skipper. Behind them, Private handed Rico a can of sardines—Rico's guess of 177 grams had been closer. "Is that a good weight, Kowalski?" Skipper asked. "It falls perfectly within the healthy range for one-week-old Classified penguin chicks. You have nothing to worry about, Skipper." He then whispered in Skipper's earhole, "Heck, MaryRose will probably be as tall as Private before you know it." "I heard that!" Private objected. "Well, I don't want her to grow up too fast," Skipper said. "I want her to enjoy every minute of her childhood, and I want to enjoy every minute of her childhood. I think it would also be nice if she had someone around her own age to play with

"Relax, Skipper," Kowalski said the following morning as he, Rico, and Private tried to restrain their leader. "Because he just discovered that MaryRose had hatched, the vet just wants to examine her to make sure she is healthy." Skipper kept trying in vain to pull away from his teammates. "But she is healthy! She doesn't need his twisted medicine when she's got me! I can only imagine what kinds of sick things he's doing to her right now. Needles might be involved." "I doubt it, Skipper. But even if he does give MaryRose a shot, I'm 97.4 percent sure that he wouldn't derive any pleasure from poking a needle in her rear." "Well, I'd sure derive some putting a needle in his! I swear the only reason that man is a vet is that he couldn't cut it as a dentist." Kowalski shuddered at the very mention of such a practitioner. Skipper finally stopped resisting his

A Stitch in Time: Chapter 1 of 6

A Stitch in Time A Zootopia fanfic Chapter 1: "APEIS" July 14, 2017 Judy stared at the needle the doctor had left on the counter when she had asked him for a final sip of water before the surgery. She rubbed the fur on her nose that would soon be removed and shivered when she imagined the scalpels, scissors, rasps, and other instruments cutting and reshaping her delicate snoot. And yet, she had nothing to fear at all. "OK, Nick," she whispered into the tiny microphone hidden under her purple T-shirt. "Come in. We've got him." Dr. Cunningham, a well-groomed, blue-eyed, medium-built red fox in his mid-sixties, stepped back into the room wi

My Bio

I'm an artist, although I paint with words rather than a brush or tablet stylus. I'm a fan fiction writer.

I started writing fan fiction in July 2009 for the Penguins of Madagascar fandom. Since July 2016, I have been writing for the Zootopia fandom. Most of my PoM stories can be found only on FanFiction.net, where I am known as GrandOldPenguin, but a few are available here on DeviantArt. All my main Zootopia works, however, I publish here on DA as well as FanFiction.net and Archive of Our Own. I retired from writing PoM stories in June 2017.

Occasionally, I submit deviations other than literature, mostly photographs. The photos I have submitted have been both fandom related and general photography, some much better than others.

In addition to submitting my own content, I often view and comment on others' submissions, mostly Zootopia fan art.

No requests, please, and I do not offer commissions. I do not use Patreon, Ko-fi, or anything like them. Sorry, I do not commission art from others. (I have the money, I just choose not to do it. For further details, you can read my journal here.)

Other things to know about me: I'm from Connecticut in the United States. I'm a tricenarian (someone in their 30s). Politics is a passion of mine, and I'm a conservative Republican—I've never missed voting in any election or primary. I'm straight and single, but I'm committed to remaining single—romance exists in some of my fanfics, but I've never shipped myself with anyone. I've been a vegetarian since 1995—a real one (eggs and milk are fine, but no flesh of any kind). Pizza is my favorite food. When I watch professional sports, it's the Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Pittsburgh Pirates (although I have been on an NFL and MLB hiatus since 2020). My hair and eyes are brown. I want to visit all 50 U.S. states and have so far set foot in 14 (CT, NY, MA, RI, NJ, PA, MD, VT, NH, DE, VA, ME, WV, OH) plus D.C. In 2012, I had the opportunity to touch an African penguin.

While I've mostly gotten used to Eclipse, one of the cringe things since DeviantArt's 2020 redesign is that instead of being identified on my profile as a "Male," the site now displayed that biological fact in the woke pronoun form of "He / Him." I kept it displayed because there really wasn't much choice. However, about an hour ago, I came across someone's profile that listed the user's age, sex, and country at the top left under his username. "How did he do that?" I wondered. "Is DeviantArt really letting people display their sex like normal again?" The answer is no, I concluded after doing some searches and poking around in my settings, but this user had instead found a creative workaround: He had changed his tagline to be his age, sex, and country, separated by slashes, and had also turned off the display of his pronouns. Brilliant! So I did almost the same thing, replacing my empty tagline (accessible by editing the About Me section) with "Male // United States" and then turning

While I have not written any new Penguins of Madagascar stories since 2017 and have no plans to do so, I somewhat recently decided that I would post some of my older stories here and on AO3 rather than having their only web presence on FanFiction.net. These will only be the PoM stories that I have edited over the years rather than my full catalog. I don't expect much to come from posting stories I wrote mostly between 10 and 14 years ago for a fandom that has been continually drying up for the past decade, but occasionally there are new fans, so I dedicate this effort to them. Someday, probably many years from now, I may be able to do another round of postings, but for now the stories I will be releasing on DeviantArt are: "Out of Character" from my Operation: Short Stories collection (2013) (one-shot; submitted to DA 8/23/23) A Chance Encounter (2009) (one-shot; will submit to DA after posting this status) Paths Unknown (2011) (one-shot; planning to submit to DA 9/11/23) "Mad, Mad

Here is the sun in Connecticut through the smoke coming from the Canadian wildfires. It has smelled like a woodstove most of the day. A constant, but not as bad as when neighbors choke me with their fire pits and grills.

Hey uh, you do realize Zootopia is woke right?

SJF-Penguin

Sep 10, 2023

That's an interpretation. I don't agree with it.

Anti-woke conservatives don't believe in "prey/predator" discrimination. We don't care what anyone looks like, just that they believe in good, moral things.

Thanks for the Fav!

Did you delete that One-hundred drabblez post about "planned mammalhood"? I know that it is a touchy (and dark) subject, but I do appreciate your writing though.

Nope. The short, "A Mammal's a Mammal," is longer than 100 words, so it's part of my Zootopia Scenes and Shorts collection rather than One Hundred DrabbleZ. You should be able to find it here. I did change my featured deviation at the top left of my profile from "A Mammal's a Mammal" to "Academic Performance," though, since "Academic Performance" is my newest installment of Zootopia Scenes and Shorts.

Thank you for your comments and for reading.
