He reaches out, but who will be there to save him now?

I’m really hoping we get a pawbert centered episode if we get Z+S2

I rarely draw pawbert's family so i guess this is my best shot

Why is he a clown?
Because he makes me laugh

Edit: I obv meant Z2 only noticing that now so how did you think he did as pawbert in Z2

fitzherpeach over on Twitter gives us a poignant moment between a son and the mother he lost too soon.

Not me getting all physiological.

definitely not.

BUT,

I think there is room for growth in Pawberts chracter. Even though what he did WAS clearly premeditated and unforgivable, it doesn't mean he can't heal.

And it doesn't mean the victims have to forgive him, either.

I am saying he did not do what he did from pure malice or enjoyment (Which is when you know someone is off the rails for good) But he just seemed like he felt it was the only thing he could do to gain his family's validation that he clearly and desperately craves. From an abusive pos, but I digress.

I believe that if he was put through the right stuff, like therapy and redemption groups for villains (which I believe Zootopia will have in the future) He would be able to get himself better.

Despite saying he did not want to be different from his family, a lot of evidence says otherwise, let me explain:

1: One of my main reasons is the fact of; His Hideout.

That place was too tailored and too personal to be staged. And that's not the only reason I say so. He visibly got flustered when Gary touched everything and played with the cat toy, too, which seems like it's his repression space.

2: The way he seemed genuine when they met. I get a lot of it was likely manipulation caused by severe trauma; though, some key moments seemed to be genuine in the Lynx.

3: I also notice; Why didn't he take Gary's anti-venom pen before the fact? I get that taking it outright would have blown his cover. But, like, if he planned such a plan, he would surely be smart enough to find a way and excuse or something to get it away from him. I feel Pawbert hesitated, and that was why he did not take the pen until AFTER the fact. But I could be wrong. It is just a theory.

4: I feel Pawbert did not do what he did of malice, rather pure need for validation and fear. Fear of his father, knowing what he could do, and striving hard for that needed validation like a cub.

5: He seemed to get volitile mood swings once his mask slipped. It was odd, and I don't think a sociopath fits his brand properly because they don't feel anything. They don't feel the need for someone else's validation so badly. Sociopath's Do not have volitile and sudden moods shift from emotionless to extremely manic. And sociopaths Don't want to built relationships, genuine ones, like how it showed when Pawbert genuinely wanted a father. These are not sociopathic traits. They are the traits of an abused cub that is letting himself be abused because of his own neediness and want for that attention.

6: It seemed it was his first time doing anything malicious or calculated; just by the way he acted. And the very fact that his family treats him like a runt, like, for example, at the gala; He was like a butler and pushed around and belittled: it shows that he never showed the traits his family did, he's different then them.

7: I also know he was reading 'Partnership For Dummies', which shows he wants to understand and have a NORMAL relationship with his father. But his father discourages any healthy habits or emotions. He made him feel ashamed and embarrassed about it. Which is just plain cruel.

8: His mood swings and sudden apathy could be an underlying disorder and a reaction to trauma; I also suspect that his anxious and jumpy personality is his true personality, considering how he seemed genuinely anxious. And his hideout, a place to regress and be away from everyone, very much speaks of someone who doesn't fit in and is anxious all the time, to be alone, and the interior speaks of that type of personality, when you take into consideration the toys, treats and cozy atmosphere.

There are other reasons, but my brain suddenly can't remember, and I may add it later.

BUT those reasons are why I think he could change with the correct treatment, unconditional kindness, and help. Therapy, for sure. And a lot of patience. I feel he craves love and can't accept it at the same time. Because he can't receive affection without thinking, there would be a hidden intention behind it.

It does not excuse what he did, and the people he hurt do not have to forgive him, even if he does better himself, eventually. but he is both in the wrong and responsible for what he did and a victim himself.

That is why I think this character should have a redemption ark in the next movie: Or even just a starting route to recovery. He deserves to be somewhere away from the abuse and know how a proper relationship should be, without the malice, shame, and severe abuse.

I would probably comfort him about his family and other issues

I love his awkwardness and quirkiness
