#Bombalurina x demeter

[bees-in-a-davidbowie-shirt]

in my 3 years of cats fandom i have not drawn THE demelurina scene before. i cannot believe it !!

[baitutu]

Bomba and Demeter 💕

Well this took longer than expected, I couldn’t decide what to do with Bombas design so I went back and forth on a lot of things

Bomba took by far the longest to complete, had to improvise her markings a bit.. a lot. I wanted to use similar color palettes since they’re so close and I thought it would be cute

You can still send requests through my ask, i promise I will do my best (o^^o)

Nothing really happened today, I woke up sick and ate a waffle :/

FLUFFTOBER24 Day 1: Lost Pet, Meet Cute (Demelurina [Bombalurina/Demeter])

My first entry for Flufftober 2024, going for a ship I never wrote in Cats - Demelurina, which I know @rabnerd28 is always looking for more content for, so hope you like this one! TW for implication of toxic background relationship. RATING: T. Word Count is 1490.

@flufftober

Demeter knew the sun was already starting to set, reaching orange beams around the white birch trunks and filtering through the small twigs littering the forest floor. It wasn’t so much a “forest” as it was really just a little patch of trees, but with the dusk falling on her, eyes peeled for any sign of the little dog that belonged to her and Macavity, it seemed to threaten to stretch on forever. 

I have to find Terry, I have to! 

She forced herself to swallow, clenching her fists, pinpricks of fingernails etching into the flesh of her sweaty palms. Her heart thundered, an ache pulsed in her temple, throat feeling like it would close up any time. 

Where are you?! 

“TERRY!” 

Where was that dog?

I knew I should’ve kept him on a leash! 

Maltesers, after all, weren’t exactly the biggest of dogs, and in the browns and golds and reds of a dusky autumn evening, he was sure to camouflage into the sunlight and the forest floor. 

“Terry!” 

She didn’t want to think of Macavity’s reaction, how angry--furious--he would be with her. This was his dog (but she liked to think it was theirs, all the same), his property, his bestie. 

But surely, surely this dog couldn’t have gone far, not on such tiny and tottery legs!.

How far can a tiny Maltese even go? 

She shouted several more times, and at one point she imagined she might have heard an answering bark, or was it just her imagination? 

Oh no, oh no…

Maybe she could stay overnight here, maybe she should go to Alonzo, he would absolutely hide her for the night, protect her from Macavity--

She needed to call the RSPCA--

Demeter stayed still for a minute, eyes scanning the forest, slowly turning on the spot, leaves crunching under her feet, a twig snapped under one of her heels. 

“Looking for someone?” 

Demeter jumped, yelped in fright as she whirled around to see a figure standing several feet away from her, silhouetted against the setting sun. Her mouth ran dry, throat constricting again as the figure took a few cautious steps toward her, holding what appeared to be a--

“Terry?!” Demeter croaked.

She squinted into the intense sun, and she now could make out what appeared to be a woman’s figure, her hips wide and curvaceous, legs long and slim, and--

And she had the most gorgeous face Demeter had ever seen, with wide brown eyes, a long nose, and red lips parted in a look of concern. Were they that naturally red, or was it lipstick? 

“Your dog?” the woman asked. “I heard you calling out--” 

“Y-yeah, my dog,” Demeter stammered, unable to tear her eyes away from this visage--the setting sun behind her surrounded her head so it looked like a golden halo. 

Like an angel come to help her. 

Terry, meanwhile, was cradled in the woman’s arms, his head on her shoulder, snorting and snoring a little. Her angel--whoever she was--gently scratched Terry’s head, her fingernails glittering with red nail polish. 

“Are you okay?” the woman asked, taking another step closer, stopping when Demeter motioned for her to stay where she was. 

Demeter nodded, still unable to find her voice. The woman smiled, and now Demeter realised how tall she was--an angel and an Amazon it seemed. 

She was, in a word, gorgeous. 

“Here, I’ll hand him to you,” the woman said, smile broadening, revealing perfect, straight, white teeth. “He snores a lot, I take it?” 

Demeter wasn’t sure whether the woman was joking or not, but either way, she couldn’t disagree that Terry’s snores were quite loud. 

“Does he fall asleep a lot?” the tall lady asked. “That’s how I found him, all curled up in a patch of leaves.” 

“Oh.” Demeter managed, holding her arms out so the woman could deposit the dog in her embrace. 

And she tried her hardest not to think about how close the other woman was to her, the way her long fingers brushed against the backs of her hands, how she was a whole head taller, and that smile again. Confident eyes locked with Demeter’s, and the latter couldn’t help but gaze right back, and suddenly deep brown eyes were her favourite eye colour. She could smell, too, some spicy scent, probably some kind of exotic perfume, and now she wanted to know what it was, so she could find it, and wear it to be reminded of--

She didn’t even know this woman’s name. 

And all too soon, much, much too soon, the woman stepped away from her, the dog now safely deposited in Demeter’s arms. The air was too cold, too stale, and she longed again for how close she had been just a second ago. Terry snorted as he flopped his head onto Demeter’s shoulder, his body heavy and warm in her arms, but all she could think now was of this woman whose name she didn’t even know yet. 

And she wanted to--

“Name’s Bombalurina,” the woman introduced herself, reaching a hand out to pet Terry, stroking down his back, her nails catching the weakening sunlight. Her eyes scanned Demeter’s face, and oh god, the way she bit her bottom lip like that--

“Demeter,” Demeter introduced herself. 

“Demeter…” Bombalurina echoed, drawing out each syllable. “I was going to say, you look familiar.” 

That was unexpected. Demeter was sure if she’d seen Bombalurina around before, she would not have forgotten this visage of beauty. 

“I do?” 

“Mm,” Bombalurina hummed, her eyes locking onto Demeter’s again. “I have seen you around before, back in town.” 

Has she seen me with… with…

“I’ve never seen you,” Demeter said, but now she wasn’t so sure. 

Had she seen Bombalurina before? 

“Do you want me to walk home with you?” 

Demeter’s heart almost leaped out of her chest. 

“Yes!” she almost shouted. “I want--I mean I’d like that.” 

Bombalurina now moved her eyes to look at the Maltese dog again, hand stilling on his back. 

“I know I’ve seen Terry before,” she murmured, again biting her lower lip like that, her teeth just peeking from her upper lip as she bit near the corner of her mouth. 

“You have?” 

Bombalurina was quiet for a long moment, looking deep in thought, the sun now fully setting behind her, the gold light catching in her hair in a way that took Demeter’s breath away. 

“Can I walk with you?” Bombalurina asked suddenly. “Even if just a little way? Just to know you’ll get home safe.” 

“Really?” Demeter asked, and oh god she really, really wanted Bombalurina to walk with her. Just a little while, but not too far. 

“We may as well,” Bombalurina said, stepping back as she withdrew her hand from Terry’s back, now rummaging in her pocket until she pulled out her phone. “Just be a minute while I tell my friend I’ll be a bit late for his party.” 

“Friend?” 

Bombalurina hummed in response, busy with her cellphone. 

“We like to flirt all the time, all in fun, but never serious.” 

“Never serious,” Demeter echoed. 

She sorely wanted to ask if Bombalurina was attached, but refrained, her heart already breaking at the idea. Bombalurina no doubt was already with someone. 

“You probably have heard of him, or seen him around,” Bombalurina continued. “The Rum Tum Tugger?” 

Demeter groaned involuntarily, before biting her tongue, a little too late now, realising too late how rude that sounded. 

“Sorry, I just… I just don’t--he’s a little much for me.” 

Bombalurina chuckled, and Demeter was positive she’d never heard one that sounded so musical. 

“He is, but that’s why I love him.” Bombalurina tapped her phone quickly, like she was typing a message. “Done.” She looked again at Demeter, eyes again studying her. “While we’re at it, I’d love your number, if you don’t mind?” 

Demeter stared at her, speechless, taken aback at such a forward and bold request. Not that she minded, of course, but from this woman? With such an extravagant name like Bombalurina? From this gorgeous visage who had appeared from the trees like an angel come to save the day? 

Yes. She could have her number any day. 

“Of course,” Demeter said, after she’d gotten over her initial surprise.

“Tea or coffee or something else?” Bombalurina asked, a little smile lilting at the corner of her perfect mouth. “I like to know these things, minor as they are.” 

“Coffee.” 

“Coffee, huh? Excellent. There we are, I have your name as Demeter. What’s your number?” 

Demeter gave her number, and Bombalurina put her phone back once satisfied she had the correct one. 

“Perfect.” 

So are you, Demeter thought, but could not bring herself to voice. 

“Now let’s walk, shall we?” 

There was no world in which Demeter could ever say no to walking in the sunset with this beautiful woman who had found her dog and got her number. 

Perhaps things might look up after all.

Does anybody know if any of the actresses who play Demeter and Bombalurina ship Demelurina? I feel like I can find cases of actors shipping a lot of the other big Cats ships, but I don't know if any of them ship Demelurina.

[lightingelectra]

I think I mit be the only one who ships this but coribom, bompat?

and some demestrap. sorry for the lighting.

[per-the-jellicle-magician]

If you have more thoughts about Warsaw Misto and Jellicle Demeter (or just more about your mafia AU in general) I would love to hear it, that sounds so chaotic

I do have some! Namely, the general timeline of their relationship and how it fits in the general plot

Initially this ship started cuz I wanted to somehow introduce Demeter into the story, and I figured out this would make a pretty solid bit that would work nicely with the main plot. The plot being a secret will they-won't they relationship drama between Warsaw Misto (Feliks) and Jellicle Munk who come from 2 mafia families that have a bit shaky but long-lasting truce, with a sprinkle of Macavity causing chaos. They do get together after some back and forth, but ultimately the relationship implodes, with only a few people knowing it ever was a thing, and Feliks moves to New York to get away from it all.

After some time there, he meets Demeter, freshly broke and after a messy break-up with her fiancé. They meet online and strike a deal, as she needs money and he wants to look like he's dating someone to avoid questions about his love life. Plus, he just wants someone not from his circle to spend time with and also they both can indirectly get back at their exes by showing how they supposedly moved on and are doing great.

Pretty quickly into their fake dating they actually become good friends because they genuinely like spending time together, and besides bonding over their recent bad breakups they have quite a few shared interests, the main one being their shared love for dancing. Plus, Demeter has a chance to try herself in some more or less legal business dealings, and she discovers she may be into it. They meet each other's friends and families and with this Feliks gets a little taste of a normal life, while she gets a few opportunities for a new life and career. And a few months into their "relationship" they kinda indirectly kickstart actual relationships for each other.

They get invited to tuggoffelees wedding back in UK thanks to Feliks being Misto's cousin, where Demeter meets Munk and Bomba. While they're talking in a bigger group Munk jokes Feliks is lucky to date Deme and that if he wasn't he himself would ask her out. To which Deme jokes back referencing one of the things Munk and Feliks broke up over, implying she knows what happened. This leads to Munk having a few drinks for courage and confronting Feliks later at the party, which a few weeks and one party later results in them giving their relationship another chance.

At the same time Demeter gets introduced to Bomba, and they have themselves a bit of a summer romance that turns into an actual, at first long distance relationship. It happens while Deme and Feliks still pretend date each other for a few months longer, and help each other a bit with figuring out the relationships before ultimately officially breaking up, after about a year/year and a bit of fake dating. They do continue their friendship tho and Feliks gets to be godfather of one of her kids

So yeah, this started as just as temporary, kinda fake side ship, but I actually enjoyed playing with it and got attached XD Plus I think they have a fun dynamic, two smart, bit petty people going together through a bit of a life reset, supporting each other, discovering things and having quite a bit of fun along the way. And also starting the relationship to pretend to be all good and happy with life and ultimately actually getting there with the other's help

Question any fav ships in cats?

I'm not too big of a shipper in general, but there are a few pairings that I find fun! (+ explanations as to why I like them)

Jennyanydots x Skimbleshanks (I can't help but picture them as the 'aunt and her boyfriend-who's-way-better-than-her-ex-husband' duo; they can't always spend time together given that Skimble is often out of the junkyard and Jenny spends her nights organizing vermin, but the time they do get to share is calm and quiet -- something both of them appreciate a ton, seeing as they both live very hectic and busy lives)

Bombalurina x Demeter (Bombalurina is the only cat that Demeter presently trusts with her heart, and Bomba knows this. Bomba is one of few cats who knows how to pull Demeter from her neurosis, and is the one Demeter trusts to do this the most. Part of the reason why Demeter is able to sing about Macavity at all is because she has Bombalurina by her side, reassuring her with presence alone that things will be fine)

Rum Tum Tugger x Mistoffelees (I like to imagine them in a queerplatonic relationship -- Tugger enjoys the occasional company of multiple casual partners, while Misto has an aversion to romance and gets all of the interpersonal joy he needs out of being able to wow his friends; but at the end of the day, they both share something exclusive and special with one another that both would describe as being a bond beyond friendship)

Victoria x Rumpleteazer (Victoria keeps Rumpleteazer's feet planted on the ground, while Rumpleteazer shows Victoria how to have some fun every once in a while. I imagine that Rumpleteazer is particularly good at speaking in signs, given that she'd need to be quiet yet communicative while sneaking around with Mungojerrie; and as such, she's naturally able to be quite talkative with Victoria, who has picked up a number of Mungo and Rumple's made-up signs as a result of this, while also teaching Rumpleteazer some proper JSL (junkyard sign language) 💪)

MASTERPOST

Character Wiki Pages

This time around, we're getting to some of the character songs!!! Jennyanydots and RTT ahead:

5: The Old Gumbie Cat

Okay, first off, I'm obsessed with the staging here... literally every kitten and kitten-adjacent character is paying attention (Plato and Bill Bailey are in the back upper-left of this shot) and then you've just got. Alonzo and Cassandra. Two characters that famously do not care about some other members of the cast. Why is this so funny

These faces also get me every time... the perfect image of bewilderment and regret

Anyway, this is another example of the kitten characters literally being lower than the others. Coricopat and Tantomile's ages and how they're presented tend to vary wildly from production to production (they kind of do their own thing), but aside from them, I think the only adult cats on the ground are the aforementioned Alonzo (who's there because of Munkustrap), Cassandra (who's there because of Alonzo), and Asparagus, though the camera notably never focuses on any of them. Everybody else is either standing or elevated à la Bombalurina, Demeter, Skimbleshanks, and Jellylorum.

One of my absolute favorite things about Munkustrap across productions is how he moves. He and Skimbleshanks come to mind as the cats with the most distinct affects (aside from examples like Tugger, who has clearly manufactured his mannerisms to an extent). I'm not sure what to call the aesthetic of this motion, but I'm obsessed with it.

And, gosh, Michael Gruber's voice is heavenly.

Skimble's cute little gesturing at her!!! Even when I was little, I was under the impression that these cats would get along. I don't know if it was because of the character acting, the fact they're both ginger tabbies, their similar ways of directing folks around, or what, but I've never seen a version of Skimble and Jenny that I didn't think would get along. It's no wonder they're so commonly shipped.

These are all (female) kitten characters playing the role of the mice, which brings us to one of the biggest questions anybody who gives this show too much thought will ask: what is the Jellicle Ball? Obviously, there's a number named that later on, but is it just a dance number, or is it the entire show?

I tend to see and agree with the interpretation that the Ball takes place over the course of the whole show, as Jellicle cats of every kind are invited and encouraged to attend. If not, then I think it would be a bit surprising to see so many cats with collars - and, we can infer, owners - showing up this early, even if the goal is to be there before Old Deuteronomy.

In that case, we reach the question related to this segment: what does this look like from the cats' side of things? I'd always thought of it as the classic "when there's too much [x] for words, you sing" principle of musical theater, wherein songs are used for emphasis and the things that happen during songs are either not literal or heavily exaggerated, but I know some folks also think of each number in Cats as a rehearsed piece, which is canonically the case for one of them.

Realistically - as much as any of this can be considered realistic - I imagine it as a combination of the two. Jenny and Skimble's numbers might very well be rehearsed. Tugger's probably isn't.

The fact that the mice are all portrayed by female kittens, which is a relatively specific demographic of the characters, makes me think (story-wise, not practicality-wise) they were specifically chosen for the roles of the mice.

The way Skimble copies Jenny's movements here reminds me HEAVILY of how Tugger copies Mistoffelees' movements during his number at the end of the show... alright alright I'm getting on board with this one

A few things with this bit:

1 - Pouncival is reprimanded #1

2 - I love that '98 used actors generally representative of the characters' ages. A lot of casts - post-revival US casts specifically come to mind - tend to have Jennys and Jellys that seem exponentially younger than the ones portrayed here, and with a title like "The Old Gumbie Cat," there's an expectation that Jenny, at least, should have a sense of age about her. This isn't a dig at other casts or anything - those actors still do a phenomenal job - I just really like this presentation.

3 - I've posted about this in short spurts before, but this song/poem might just be my favorite to analyze. I wrote my first-ever college essay about Jennyanydots. Part of what makes me love it so much is how much meaningful exposition it gives, but it's also one of the more prominent examples of Eliot's bigotry seeping into his poetry, and an example of how the staging of Cats actually reduces it.

I'm far from the first to point any of this out and I am far from an expert, but let's dig into some lyrics:

She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice— Their behaviour's not good and their manners not nice; So when she has got them lined up on the matting, She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting.

To address the behavioral issues of the mice, Jenny introduces hobbies to them - namely, music, crocheting, and tatting (another sort of fiber art relating to lace creation). An argument can be made over the practical labor of crocheting and tatting, but music is often associated with leisure - time away from work, or time spent performing for the leisure of other people.

Depending on how one looks at this, this passage could point in two directions. These skills could have been used to familiarize the mice with work commonly associated with being dainty and ladylike, with the hope the mice would become much the same. They could have also been introduced as a way for the mice to perform highly detail-oriented work for somebody of higher standing: Jenny herself. Either way, this passage rings with a mildly classist tone.

As she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet, She is sure it is due to irregular diet; And believing that nothing is done without trying, She sets right to work with her baking and frying.

This one is a bit more straightforward. The wording "irregular diet" implies, to me, that access to food (and/or "good" food) is the problem here, i.e. lack of access to food prevents the mice from holding a sense of propriety about them. While these lyrics do not make a judgement about that, they do potentially make an association between food insecurity and unruliness, which, again, rings with classism.

She thinks that the cockroaches just need employment To prevent them from idle and wanton destroyment. So she's formed, from that lot of disorderly louts, A troop of well-disciplined helpful boy-scouts, With a purpose in life and a good deed to do— And she's even created a Beetles' Tattoo.

The first two lines from this verse are extraordinarily direct; I don't think I have to explain how the idea of "going to work and getting a job will prevent unruly tendencies" is rooted in bigotry. What makes this bit even more specific is the last line about the Beetles' Tattoo. For those unfamiliar, I'm fairly certain this is the kind of tattoo this line references:

So, not only does the Jennyanydots of the poem seek out employment opportunities for the cockroaches; she does so with what can be interpreted as militaristic intent, thinking it will give them "a purpose in life."

I don't really feel like going into how all of this connects to ideas irl, but you get the gist. So, how does Cats make all of this better?

It plays everything completely straight.

No, seriously.

The troubling bits of Eliot's original poetry come through, in large part, the use of metaphor; in Cats, the cats are actually cats, the mice are actually mice, and the cockroaches are actually cockroaches. All of these characters are literally different species at different spots on the food chain, but that's not the best part.

The best part is that the mice are portrayed by the female kittens and the cockroaches are represented, principally, by the male kittens. Rather than mice or cockroaches, this performance can be used to represent how Jennyanydots corrects the behavior of unruly little girls and unruly little boys. Combined with other lines from the poems and alternate productions, such as those about her cooking for the mice, she becomes much more of a maternal figure.

What about the Beetles' tattoo?

That's the name of the tap number. That's all.

Yes, many of these implications remain in the lyrics, but it just goes to show how important careful staging is and what a difference it can make. Isn't it just so cool?

First-time viewers may be thrown off by the cuts in this number. The original VHS release couldn't handle a very long runtime, so this is the compromise :(.

I've always loved this little lean Cassandra does.

Pouncival is reprimanded #2

6: The Rum Tum Tugger

YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS MAN IS JOHN PARTRIDGE. YOU NEED TO SEE HOW GREAT HE IS. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT HE PERFORMED IN CATS FROM 1989 TO 2005. AT AGE 18 HE EARNED THE ROLE OF ALONZO, THE DANCE CAPTAIN, IN THE ORIGINAL UK TOUR.

I've never seen another Tugger move quite like him.

I'm pretty sure Pouncival is the one doing the backflip here

AGAIN. I LOVE THAT THIS JENNY HAS SOME AGE TO HER. I LIKE THAT SHE WALKS HUNCHED. I LIKE THAT MUNKUSTRAP IS HELPING HER UP.

For fic reasons, I've previously had to keep track of Pouncival during this song, and if I have to know that he disappears between these shots, so do you.

Also, I'm not adding images for it because I'm running out, but the amount of wingmanning Plato does in this number is unreal.

This is the part where, were I actually sitting on a couch with my non-Cats mutuals watching this, I would look over at all of your faces to see your reactions to somebody treating the Rum Tum Tugger like this. Usually, nobody cares :(

^^^This is my second-favorite bit of choreography in the number. The idea of Tugger intentionally tripping up Pouncival and Tumblebrutus just to mess with them is really funny to me. He's literally playing around with the kids. Why do I never see anybody talk about this

^ This is my favorite bit of choreography in this number because nobody I show this to, whether they enjoy the experience or not, ever forgets it.

They

And the little sequence of looks they do...

Welcome to my favorite character detail in this number. "Is it-" yeah it's alonzo catsthemusical. We're talking about him again. My friends are tired of hearing me point this out every single time but I LOVEEEE that the characters rubbed the wrong way by Tugger are the older cats, who are sitting at the back of the stage, Munkustrap, who is standing in the back because Tugger is his cringe middle schooler brother, and Alonzo, who is as far away from and above the front of the stage as possible without physically falling off the set.

I love when Tugger hates him back. I love when Tugger doesn't acknowledge him whatsoever because he doesn't think about him whatsoever. Bonus points for monochromatic siblings enjoyers, since Alonzo here then gets to take on the perspective of "my bestie's cringe middle schooler brother is dating my middle schooler brother and it sucks." There's no losing here.

These two are literally me. Ignore the crotch. Sometimes I think about getting a cat and then I remember "I'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing" and I'm like haha yeah no... no can do sir...

THE THOUGHTFULNESS THIS SHOT GIVES TUGGER!!! I know he'd normally be going through the audience but the fact the director said "hey what if Demeter is having a Moment and this curious cat snaps her out of it" is mwah. Chef's kiss

yeah.

Literally, how did I ever watch this number without paying attention to Pouncival

I no longer have picture privileges but there's also a little detail near the end here where Tumblebrutus nudges Skimble and Asparagus to make sure they're paying attention. These two kittens <3 <3 <3

[baitutu]

Wanted to do something with Bombalurina and Demeter (they are gfs)

I grabbed some pictures from 1998 and traced over them, then I hid the pictures and built off the sketches with some ideas I had.

I gave Demeter three pieces of hair for bangs and a pointier head, pointy soft ears, slim tail, and facial features to contrast. While Bombalurina has sharper features, smaller droopier ears, fluffy tail, and a softer head.
