This time around, the winner will receive:

RULES (Please read these carefully and follow them):

Entries will open today (JANUARY 28TH give or take the midnight mail) and will close FEBRUARY 4TH - in one week. You can enter at any time between now and then, but anything after than date will not be counted.

ONE entry per person - when you reblog THIS post, you will be assigned a random number, and the receiver will be picked by a random generator. Likes do not count as entries. You do not need to be following in order to enter. Multiple reblogs will not give you a higher chance - we want to make it fair for everyone. Entry doesn’t guarantee receiving, please play fair!

Shipping within North America will be easier for me, but I am willing to open this up to individuals overseas. HOWEVER, if you are picked and you are overseas, I would very much appreciate you going in half on any shipping/postage charges if they are ridiculous (and sometimes they are). Any import fees will most likely settle on the receiver, so please keep that in mind.

Obviously, you must be alright with providing me with shipping information - rest assured you will be providing me this information in confidence and I will not share it with anyone. If you are not comfortable sharing this information, that’s completely alright, but please do not enter as I won’t be able to send it to you.

A winner will be selected on February 4th, and will receive a message indicating that they’re getting a present. I will try to get it shipped out to you as soon as I can afterwards, and give an update once that happens.

I will do my absolute best to ensure the items arrive to the winner, but once it’s handed over to the post office, it’s unfortunately out of my hands.

Posting this from my requests (which sadly got deleted) @elita-prime1 asked for a ficlet of Jemima and Plato getting ready for the ball. Enjoy!

Jemima was practically vibrating on the spot as Plato worked to fix her spiked fur. She purred happily, smiling like nothing else, takling on and on about how this was her first ball, Plato, this was amazing, Plato, it had finally come, Plato, wasn't he excited?

"How long until it starts, Plato?"

"Not long, Jemima. Just before the sun is done setting" He sighed, repeating himself for the hundredth time.

Jemima almost looked tidy. The hair on her arms and her back had been pushed down to a somewhat flat angle. The tail was Jemima's own handiwork, surprisingly sleek. Apparently, Victoria had taught her. Plato could have never guessed why she hadn't applied this knowledge before.

He licked his paw and pushed down the fur between her ears, only for it to flick right back up. He huffed. "I swear, you look like an angry hedgehog."

"Well, you look like a- uh, like a," Plato ran his paw down her face just to mess with her. Jemima bit his finger.

"Ow!"

"You look like a pine tree!" She declared with all of her chest, and then fell into a fit of giggles.

Plato stuck his tongue out at her, waving the pain away. "Pouncival is a bad influence on you"

"Nu-uh" she said, probably just to have the last word.

"Remember not roll around so you don't make it worse" he said, starting to fix his own hair, "you have to look nice for mum"

He knew, logically, he looked fine - Plato and messy did not go in the same sentence, and for good reason. Ginger fur needed to be orderly and well-kept, and that went for both his wild orange patches and Jemima's fiery red markings.

He threw a glance at the sun. There was still a little time.

"Hey, who do think is going to be the Jellicle choice?" Jemima asked.

"I don't know," Plato answered, lost in his grooming, "probably someone old"

"Like Jenny?"

A pit suddenly formed in his stomach, and he cried out "No!"

Jemima just stared back, tilting her head at him. He wasn't even sure she fully understood what being the Jellicle choice meant, yet. "Older than that" he amended, clearing his voice.

"Oh" Her eyes wandered off in that empty stare of hers that unsettled him a little, contemplating the reddening sky, so he nudged her until she turned those wide round eyes on him.

"Let's do our stretches"

It was all of fifteen seconds into a stretch that Jemima started talking, tail restlessly swiping the ground, and Plato winced at how they'd have to fix it again. "Is Tugger going to be there, too?"

"Of course he'll be there" he said, and the thought of Tugger was enough to distract him, his own excitement momentarily taking over. "Don't tell anyone, but I've heard he's going to do a big number"

"Really?" She lit up, leaning towards him in the middle of her stretch.

"Yeah!" Plato nodded, grinning a little too wide. "Just, keep it quiet"

Jemima squealed, her happy restlessness multiplying tenfold. She stood from the ground, and scrolled herself off, her fur promptly returning to its usual puffiness. "Ohh, I just can't wait!"

"Jemie, no!" Plato scolded, "Come here, I've gotta-"

"Are you two ready?"

Plato jumped up quickly, brushing off the dirt on his legs. "Demeter! We were just finishing up" he snatched Jemima when she ran past him on her way to her mum. Keeping her still with a paw on her shoulder, he smoothed her hair back down as discreetly as he could, despite her disgruntled protests.

"Oh, look at you" Demeter said, and Plato opened his mouth to interject, to remind her they weren't done, they weren't going like this- "You're both perfect" she continued, smiling sincerely, and he stilled in his tracks. Jemima took advantage of his distraction to escape his hold and tackle Demeter in a hug. Demeter, in turn, nuzzled their cheeks together.

Plato sniffed as he watched. Both of the cats' fur puffed out in all directions, on their heads and their shoulders and their tails, and, next to Demeter's contrasting black and golden pelt, Jemima's red patches looked perfectly innocuous, just another color to add to the roster.

Demeter turned to him, and he bowed his head slightly. She reached out to pat his arm, where dust had gathered from their stretches. In hindsight, they should've done that first. He didn't know what he expected. The motion left the fur sticking up a little, but she didn't seem to notice.

"C'mon, Munkustrap is getting impatient. He's doing rollcalls" She said, instead, leaning closer and whispering the last part.

"Are we going now?" Jemima asked expectantly. At Demeter's hummed assent, she grabbed Plato's paw just as it was halfway to fixing that dislodged patch of fur, pulling him towards the clearing. "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Plato took in Demeter's messy look again, the way she watched her daughter with nothing short of love, the way she looked at him with something so similar, it made his chest hurt.

"Okay," He breathed, smiling back at them. "I'm ready."

Don't y'all love 1-3am crying sessions. I love crying for three hours. Panic attacks are my favorite part of my night time routine.

Hello may I have more of your plato as mac's son headcanons...

YES YOU CAN!!!! ok so real quick i want to get some of my picture descriptions of him out the way before i start yapping cat form his dad-mom-him

he has a fluffy tail like his dad but looks a bit more like his mom overall except for his face with everything but his eyes being his dads

costume wise we have little scruffy baby kitten plato then grown up proper tom plato

ok so yapping now His mom was one of Macavity's henchcats but she passed away during childbirth, mac didn't want to deal with a kitten so he gave him to demeter to raise. plato didn't inherit any of his fathers powers so as such macavity did really bother with him. Plato is a tall boy like his dad and this sweet baby boy unfortunately has his dads resting face and it makes him look very mean.

he is a sweetheart though having grow up seeing how his dad treated other cats and mad his mama demeter feel he promised himself to never be like that. He's a protector in training for the tribe, part of this is because of how much he respects munk and alonzo and the other protectors and because when he was younger he wasn't able to protect those around him from his father. Plato is scared of his father, he won't lie and try to act brave. Macavity terrifies him, he's worried about him coming and taking away what he loves like demeter or victoria, and he is terrified that even if he tries really hard he'll end up just like him. despite the fact he is 18-19 he still cats a bit kitten like from time to time. he feels safe with the jellicles to catch up on the childhood he didn't have with macavity. he's friends with younger kittens like Pounce, Tumble and George, And he is a BIG tugger fan being the co president of his fan club. Macavity didn't care much about plato when he was younger, and he wouldn't say he cares about him now but he does from time to time feel regret over how he was with him. Macavity is alone. he doesn't have anyone who stays with him out of love, and he has just himself to blame.

Manic and full of panic
