There are also mystery novels that seem to hold back on the real darkness. Say a mystery where a crime has been committed but the motives are very basic and the consequences for the perpetrator are not as complex or dire as they could be. It's like the novel is skimming the surface of what could be a really dark and complex mystery, making it not dark enough.
Some good examples are 'Dracula' which immediately brings to mind a dark and menacing vampire. 'The Shining' also gives a sense of something dark and sinister lurking in the hotel. 'Frankenstein' is another classic dark title that implies a dark creation story.
A 'black enough short story' could refer to a short story that delves deeply into the African - American experience. For example, Langston Hughes' short stories often explore the lives, struggles, and cultures of black people. His stories show the unique perspectives, from the daily racism they face to the rich cultural heritage they uphold. Another example could be some of Toni Morrison's early short works that touch on the complex relationships within black communities, the impact of slavery's legacy, and the search for identity among black individuals.
In the story of 'Pinocchio', the dark aspect is his lying which makes his nose grow longer and gets him into various troubles. He also gets kidnapped by the Puppet - master. However, the light is his journey to become a real boy. His conscience, represented by Jiminy Cricket, guides him towards honesty and goodness, and in the end, he transforms into a real boy, symbolizing the victory of good over bad.
Let's say there's a fantasy series with a very dark villain who tortures the heroes. In an anti - dark fanfiction, the villain could be redeemed. The heroes could use their love and friendship to turn the villain good. Another example could be a science - fiction story where the future is depicted as a desolate and hopeless place. The anti - dark fanfiction could show how people work together to make the future bright again, with new technologies being used for good rather than destruction.
Sure. '101 Dalmatians' has a dark element with Cruella de Vil's obsession with fur. She is willing to kill a bunch of innocent puppies just to make a fur coat. It's a very cruel and dark idea in a Disney movie.
One example might be the discovery of a large - scale phishing operation being coordinated from the Dark Web. Hackers use the Dark Web to share tools and strategies for creating fake websites that look legitimate to steal people's personal information.
Sure. In 'Peter Pan', the pirates are quite violent and Captain Hook is always out for revenge. Also, in '101 Dalmatians', Cruella de Vil wants to skin the puppies for their fur, which is really cruel.
Perhaps a story about an anti - social character in a popular series. In the 'dark x anti fanfiction', this character is put in a situation where they have to face their own demons in a very literal and dark way. For example, they might be haunted by their past actions which are presented in a very spooky and dark manner, and the story follows how they deal with this newfound horror.
It could have elements like dark, brooding landscapes. For example, a desolate forest filled with mist and strange, menacing creatures.
One example could be a story where a powerful and corrupt group of animals takes over the government in Zootopia and starts to oppress certain species. The main characters then have to fight against this unjust regime. Another could be a fanfiction where a mysterious disease turns some of the animals savage again, like in the movie, but this time the cause is much more sinister and the spread is harder to control, leading to a lot of chaos and fear in the city.
