I remember a "Dug Days" (Pixar) / Real Persons Fic crossover wherein Russell grew up and made the Muntz collar tech public. This had...ramifications. Turned out, every mammal, lizard, arthropod, mollusk, and avian on the planet was sapient, as well as eusocial insects (taken as a collective hive) and mussels (as a shoal). This had serious ramifications, but the thing I remember the most is A. How seamlessly it interweaved IRL current politics regarding certain billionaires with the ramifications of said billionaires funding research into making fatal vore real and B. The fact that, having clicked on a fucking...Pixar vore fic involving THOSE people, I was somehow blown away by the sheer quality of the fic and the crack-ness, and even the presence of the vore itself, took a backseat.

One thing I distinctly remember is that a high school robotics club or something made an morbid Arduino-powered puppet show out of SOME of the human remains they found within a 5 block radius of the school and set it up in front of City Hall, in protest for the city government's inaction against predation.

I also remember the city government getting censured by the Democratic Party for trying to create a localized exception to ALL gun laws, federal and state, in response to the issues raised by the fact that a random high school had an entire fucking conga line of human remains to use for their "project". I can't remember whether the song the skeletons danced to was "Remains Of The Day" or "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life".

Also, I remember that it turned out that animal psychics were real, and REALLY COULD communicate with the dead. Thus, it became mandatory for a psychic to be consulted before using human remains in anything like...that. Later, one dude got eaten by his fox GF and his friend avenged him by killing his killer and turning BOTH their remains into an animatronic show with Skelly Boy singing "Tainted Love". HE gave consent, SHE didn't. And yes, the creepypasta stuff of "It wasn't programmed to move like that/it can't move like that" happened, but...well, her taxidermied glass eye pivoting to look directly at the POV character while he wasn't looking was pretty unsettling. Less so when the programmer for the skeleton movements said that all those jazzy flourishes that Skelly Boy kept doing weren't programmed. Bro was having fun! I remember an animal psychic being consulted and revealing that she was in anguish but HE had an emotion she didn't have a name for. Humanity does.

Spite.

I also remember, in an earlier chapter, a reporter lady going around interviewing animals from various viral social media posts and one of them was like "Bitch, I came from a kill shelter. You should PROBABLY be covering that." and...she had a panic attack. Her journalism then took a sudden turn from feel-good stories into the realm of hard investigative journalism.

Mark Hamill scared off a bear which openly said it was going to eat him by going full into character as The Joker, and this sent the animal world into a frenzy and they ended up being scared of clowns. People who didn't want to be...well, eaten, started dressing in as bright clothes as possible. The thrift stores filled up with blacks and greys, and then the Goths made their OWN morbid aesthetic from THOSE clothes and scared MORE animals. Of course, the animals eventually figured out that there was no secret society of Joker minions, and as a result of the sudden uptick in deaths and disappearances, Mark Hamill started teaching acting classes to ACT like the Joker.

I also remember at one point, some animal predators realized that humans were NOT OK with what they'd been doing, but got it into their heads that if the family members of their victims forgave them, they'd live.

Only ONE was forgiven, out of over 2000 who asked.

Some were shot, one was leapt upon and throttled while the family member said, "I didn't shoot you because I don't own a gun. That just means I need to get...creative."

And one, a Dalmatian, was beaten to death in an angry rage. Then the bereaved mother of a Disney fan (who, BTW, was a child) got an idea. A wonderful, awful idea. She contacted a furrier, paid to have the Dalmatian turned into a fur coat...and then mailed it, and an explanatory letter, to Glenn Close, asking for an autograph. Glenn Close was conflicted at first...but after some thought...she realized that killing a child was more evil than making a coat out of a dog...and she began to laugh. The Cruella Laugh.

Anyway, this work's clever plot twists, intriguing setup, and just general awesomeness ensures that this work has value FAR beyond the topical nature of dealing with the Predator Billionaire Class or even the niche fetish value of including vore. This isn't just fetish fic at this point, or even crackfic. This is a fucking masterpiece.

Or, it WAS. Until it was deleted.

I also remember there being the author, in the comments, saying they were going to delete the fic. My computer broke shortly thereafter, and by the time I got it back from the repair place the fic was gone.

If the author is reading this...

Can you please reupload? It's genuinely a really fkin good fanfiction. And topical!

I mean, COME ON, the class warfare arc was JUST STARTING! I want to see the Epstein island folk get their pampered pedo asses kicked!(It was on AO3)

-FNAF-style haunting of mechanical parts becomes a thing thanks to some kind of amplifier, and this allows skeletons (with people's souls still inside) to move around again with special braces.

The above leads to:

-A lawsuit by the sole human worker of an Australian mine crewed the rest of the way by skeletons who was asked to wear his own oxygen mask after the bean counters turned off the air filters because most of the workers don't need to breathe

-During the people's revolution arc, some skeletons hijack a Disney cruise the Little St. James crowd is using for trafficking by...hacking the PA systems to play John Williams Underwater March, and climbing up the anchor cables while dressed in tattered pirate clothes. Only one precocious little girl managed to find out that the takeover of the ship was NOT, in fact, just a show and get proof out to the other passengers.

-The creepy traveling circus show (same one that had an elephant in a giant hang glider as "Mr. Kite" and had a horse named Henry who danced the waltz) tried doing a live action version of the Disney Silly Symphonies skeleton dance, but it kind of panned

-The New York City Dramatic Society gives an olive branch to the NRA via doing a live performance of "The Gun Song" from Sondheim's "Assassins The Musical" featuring live executions of animals that predated on humans

-Later, a full on Les Miserables style revolt in NYC, barricade and all, where the NYPD gradually realize this is NOT a normal protest or riot and HOLY SHIT THEYRE TRYING TO KILL US after multiple precincts get wiped out by stuff like homemade black-powder cannons manning the barricade, a fkin homemade ribauldequin mowing down a bunch of officers, car bombs being used against police convoys, DIY Mad Max ramming vehicles being used against cop cars, DIY flamethrowers defending the barricade, trebuchets launching bombs at City Hall...Oh, and...well, imagine the Granby, Colorado "Killdozer", but its EVERY BULLDOZER IN NYC.

-The cops start to wise up to the elites shenanigans after interrogating an arrested protester reveals that multiple OTHER BRANCHES OF THE NYC GOVERNMENT were involved on the protester's side. Fire Department lent their truck for the reference to "The Dark Knight Rises" that made the cops detour for the car bomb. The paramedics were on the protesters side. The fucking sewer cleaning people were on the protesters side and gave them the drainpipes needed for the cannons, along with the fact that many of the killdozers, and their operators, were officially employed by the city for construction work.

They wise up all the way after the other agencies confirmed that yes, they DID provide material aid to the protesters due to the horrific shit (literally, in the case of the sewer workers) they've seen in their jobs. And when protesters released on jury nullification or lack of charges (which is a LOT of them) began to quietly disappear.
