#I'm...not gonna tag all the characters lmao

[eye-may]

I noticed that in some of your text posts you use a different (three) Words for the cats than the ones they were assigned, so I have to ask—if you could change the Words of any cats of your choosing, what would you change them to an why?

interesting question! my divergence from the Three Words (tm) is definitely mostly due to my affinity for descriptors. I am simply a slut for adjectives. also I've frequented past casting calls on many a wiki page and I love how different companies expand upon the frameworks of the characters in different ways. these cats contain multitudes!

I'll just be extra ig and use this opportunity to run down the list, slapping on my annotations as I go.

Admetus / Plato - Friendly, Easygoing, Protective

I called Plato friendly and easygoing in many words on this post I made about him, although I guess I didn't touch on "protective." His being tall and strong, along with being (imo) an instinct-driven cat could be summed up niftily as protectiveness...so I do think that word works for him, although...

to me, a big part of Plato that he needs to overcome is the fact that his nonchalance, his apathy, make him too persuadable. if he doesn't feel impassioned about any particular thing, then he's more vulnerable to being manipulated...right?

I might replace "protective" with "tractable" or some such.

Alonzo - Vain, Uncertain, Bravado

I love these three words for Alonzo! I love the dichotomy inherent in the last two words especially; in my universe, Alonzo is rigid and goal-driven, always walking around with his shoulders back and his chest puffed out, a true militant. that's bravado for you. but, at the same time, he's young and had it rough before coming to the Junkyard. he's slow to trust and, deep down...is often anxious and even scared.

there's a GIF somewhere of one version of Alonzo appearing to look to Mistoffelees in the face of adversity (a Macavity scare I think), and then seems to mimic him, as if trying to appear as brave. I think, even if he doesn't want to admit it, he often has to look to others for courage.

Vain also, yes! He's very preoccupied with his image, both superficial and otherwise! Like Victoria, Cassandra, and Tugger he's very well-kept and on top of maintaining appearances. He also (again, like Tugger, but in a very different way) has impassioned pretenses about his "reputation."

Asparagus - Frail, Wise, Historied -or- Wistful, Imaginative, Frail

Assuming we're talking about the elder Asparagus, rather than the younger...sounds right to me! I personally would pluck out "wise" from the first version and replace it with "wistful" for the second. Not that he isn't "wise," but the versions of him that I've seen seem to indicate that he struggles with dementia in his advanced age, and I tend to think he's more prone to romantic recollections about his career than he is to dolling out grandfatherly aphorisms. (he may do just that, however, in his more lucid moments).

Bill Bailey - Chaotic, Imprudent, Funny

In my mind, Billy Bailey and Tumblebrutus are interchangeable, so I'm just going to annotate these three words as if they're an alternative set for Tumble lol.

I think I would swap out "Funny," for a word that references his eagerness to appear tough. Charitably it could be a word like "aspirational." less charitably it could be like "pugnacious" or "posturing."

Bombalurina Generous, Voluptuous, Frank

Take out voluptuous! That's not a personality trait lmao. I might replace it with something that actually references her nubile aura, like "sensual," or "alluring."

Bustopher Jones - Foppish, Gluttonous, Dapper

He sure is those three things! I could maybe see a world where we replace "dapper," because it's parasynonymous with "foppish." Perhaps with "patronly" or "parsimonious."

Carbucketty - Acrobatic, Energetic, Accident-prone

These three words seem to emphasize his physical prowess, his hyperness. which he definitely has! But maybe we can swap out "acrobatic" for something that expands a little more on his personality, like "good-natured," "goofy," "playful," or even "worshipful" to allude to how he looks up to the older cats.

Cassandra - Haughty, Disdainful, Aloof

Disdainful is a little harsh, but I don't disagree that she certainly harbors disdain lol. these three words don't indicate much of a flip side to her, however; I might replace "haughty" or "disdainful" with something a little more neutral, like "observant," "elegant," or "mysterious."

There's an alternative version where "lonely" replaces "aloof" ... but I think the latter suits her better. she may be a bit solitary, but being alone doesn't mean you're lonely.

Coricopat - Telepathic, Unruffled, Instinctive

I actually do stray pretty significantly with Coricopat...in my mind, I have his words almost reversed with Tantomile's. Between the two twins, it's Tantomile who's seemingly unflappable, and Coricopat who's more tentative, less surefooted. I'd take out "unruffled" and replace it with one of Tantomile's words, "sensitive."

Demeter - Skittish, Cautious, Paranoid -or- Nervous, Sensual, Secretive

I think the first set is a bit ludicrous because all of those words are parasynonymous lol. The second alternative set is definitely better. I don't know if I ever think of her as "secretive," per se, so much as "reticent," which has a comparable meaning but with a less conniving connotation. I might settle on the three words, "skittish," "sensual," and "reticent."

Although, as I think about it, I might take out "sensual" as well. I don't think that aspect of her as endemic to her core enough to make it one of her three archetypal descriptors. I might replace that word with something that indicates her overall eccentricity, like "offbeat."

Electra - Adolescent, Inquisitive, Daring

Two out of three of her words are identical to Pouncival's lmao. I think using "adolescent" for the younger cats is a bit of a copout; I see that word more as a superficial characteristic as opposed to a personality trait.

Replace "adolescent" with something like "intense," or "hyper."

Etcetera - n/a

She doesn't have her own set of words! (at least not on the wiki lmao) If I were to choose, I would say maybe "upbeat, excitable, eager"

George - n/a

George is so funny to me. in the grand scheme of CATS he just seems to be a wild card character with no established or accepted archetype. he's like...just a guy. sometime he's even another guy. sometimes, he's an alternate for Pouncival. in one instance, he's an alternate for Admetus (but NOT Plato...lmao)

sauurrr, for MY CATS universe, I have done with George what one is seemingly meant to do with George, and that is just invent a character from the ground up with only a rough visual of his appearance and his name just so happens to be George.

To me...George is in fact the one who played Rumpus Cat in the film. I personally peg him as a cat who's a peer to Munkustrap age-wise, maybe a little older, but who esteems himself something of a comedian and seems to act much younger than his actual age. He's a favorite amid kittens, because they see him as one of the "cool" adults, like that teacher in middle school who was particularly fun and easygoing.

I shall christen him with three adjectives of my own choosing!

"persuadable," "nonchalant," "comical"

Grizabella - Proud, Hurt, Indomitable

No notes!

Jellylorum -Practical, Busy, Cheery -or - Dour

well "dour" sure is a contrast to cheery! I think she's capable of being stern, but I wouldn't choose "dour" as an archetypal descriptor of hers. I think I'd replace the word "busy" with something that suggests her sternness/adherence without the dreary connotation of dour, and that also references how her hands always seem to be occupied by some task. maybe something like "regimented," or "painstaking," or "assiduous."

Jemima - Innocent, Compassionate, Young -or- Dreamy, Yearning, Curious

I'm not a fan of either set on their own! I have the same issue with "young," that I have with "adolescent"...young is a superficial characteristic, not a personality trait! "youthful" would be a more appropriate word, but it's like...of course she's youthful, she's a kitten! same thing with "innocent." we were all innocent at probably less than six months of age lmao.

For her I'd go with "compassionate," "curious," and "quirky" or suchlike. or maybe replace "compassionate," with "empathetic" or even "empathic."

Jennyanydots - Motherly, Controlling, Contented -or- Fastidious, Complacent, Bossy

I would maybe replace "controlling" with something like "militant," and then replace "contented" in the first set with "fastidious" from the alternative set. I think those who see Jennyanydots as "contented" are mostly her humans, who are used to seeing her somnolent daytime persona.

Macavity - Hypnotic, Jealous, Dangerous

No notes!

Mistoffelees - Competitive, Neat, Electric

I like all three of these words for him! I do think I'd tack on "impish" and/or "cryptic" or some such, mayyybbeeee as a replacement for competitive if we really have to stick with just three words in fear of dire consequences from the omnipotent CATS deities.

Mungojerrie -Mischievous, Rambunctious, Ne'er-do-well -or- Cheeky, Street-wise, Cocksure

I think the second set is a little better than the first. I like both sets, but "mischievous" and "rambunctious" are pretty similar, and ne'er-do-well is a bit harshly connotated, even if that's how a handful of cats do see him.

I think I'd replace "cheeky" in the second set with "mischievous" from the first. not to say that he isn't cheeky, but I think you're slightly more likely to hear some clever smarm from Rumpleteazer.

Munkustrap - Imposing, Energetic, Courageous -or- Integrity, Discipline, Dignity

shall I say it? shall I go ahead and submit to my impulse to be an insufferable grammarian on tumblr dot com? I just think it's funny that the alternative set are all nouns instead of adjectives XD

I woouuulldddd conflate the two lists (and use the right part of speech *dodges brick*)

"Disciplined, Courageous, Dignified"

Old Deuteronomy - Wise, Commanding, Spiritual -or- Wise, Loving, Commanding

You just tack on "loving" to the first set and we're golden. again tho if we have to abide by the rule of three...go with "Wise, Loving, Spiritual"

Pouncival - Adolescent, Inquisitive, Alert

I like the latter two words! replace "adolescent" with "admiring," or "impressionable"

Rum Tum Tugger - Vain, Perverse (cocky), Inconsequent -or- Perverse, Preening, Independent

The weird thing about Tugger's set is that "inconsequent" is noootttt...a word I'd ever think of to describe a person. I did a quick Google search to see if I had been simply mistaken about the meaning of the word, but all I got was corroboration that "inconsequent" is a form of the word "inconsequential," which means of little significance. I almost feel like the original author meant to find a word that suggested Tugger's lack of concern over consequences.

My final take: "Preening," "Imprudent" (a decent-ish alternative to what I think? was meant by "inconsequent"), "Charismatic."

Rumpleteazer - Mischievous, Rambunctious, Ne'er-do-well -or- Naughty, Impressionable, Effervescent

I dislike both sets!

My take: "Rambunctious," "Cheeky," "Animated"

Skimbleshanks - Caring, Bright, Self-regarding -or- (punctual, proud, energetic?)

My take: "Punctual," "Caring," "Energetic"

Tantomile - Telepathic, Suspicious, Sensitive

As I elucidated earlier, I conceptualize the twins differently, I suppose, than their initial canonical characterizations. My Tantomile is quieter and more confident than Coricopat, and seems to take the inherent oddities of mysticism more in stride than her brother does. she's also caring, of course, but less sentimental and expressive.

(this might be weird to say but my understanding of the twins stems heavily from one (1) very brief moment in the 1998 film, when the camera cuts to a close-up of their reactions to Mistoffelees. Coricopat looks mystified, outwardly impressed, in awe. Whereas Tantomile...she looks more subdued. still impressed, but unsurprised, like she was already well aware of the magnitude of Mistoffelees's capabilities. she even looks almost...proud?)

okay and I'm sure nobody on set or in the history of cats ever actually put much thought into those three-odd seconds, but given the chance, I will extrapolate. I will wring a fleeting moment dry. in so saying, to me the differences in their expressions in that moment speak volumes about how their personalities diverge. Tantomile is a little more mature, a little more attuned, and more reserved. she's more of a watchful and guiding figure, whereas Coricopat is more companionable.

so all that said! my take: "Telepathic," "Pragmatic," "Mindful"

Tumblebrutus - Tough, Buoyant, Touchy

I now realize that I should have just cut and pasted Bill Bailey's set here to address it as an alternative to this one lmao. so let's just pretend that's what we're doing.

my take: "Imprudent," "Pugnacious," (to combine "touchy" and "chaotic"), "Buoyant"

Victoria - Young, Inhibited, Inquisitive -or- Innocent, Romantic, Un-selfconscious

I take "inhibited" to be somewhat of an antonym for "un-self-conscious" (? what a...portmanteau...of sorts) and I do personally see Victoria as someone who errs on the side of timid, or hesitant. I get that "un-self-conscious" may be alluding to the fact that she uhhhhh was feeling some type of way very viewably, but to me it seems like she's letting herself being guided by her instincts, as a vehicle to overcome her inhibitions.

my take: "Inhibited," "Romantic," "Inquisitive"

[smallvictorianchildwhofoundwifi]

When the fighting ceased and the war was officially considered over, all heroes were checked and tended to. Afterwards, the students were given the go-ahead to return to their families but most of the students of Class 1A and B wanted to reconvene at the dormitories to check on their classmates first.

The class of 1-B had tearful and heartwarming reunions with each other, but silently worrying for everyone they had yet to see after a period of time. Logic said that the few might still be in the hospital or had returned to their families after all. Koromi recalled Kendo and Fukidashi together after everything ended, and Awase and Tsunotori joining the group- and that was the last she saw of the four of them, but they looked okay. Shoda decided to text Kendo to put all their worries to rest, but was left on delivered.

Most of them decided to stay at the dorms until they got confirmation of the safety of their missing classmates, which took hours. Kuroiro appeared suddenly and explained he was with his family and was checking up on everyone, before returning with his sister to the temporary living quarters of their family.

After a few hours without word from about six of Class B’s students, the doors to the dormitory suddenly opened, and six figures walked through- four of their classmates, and 2 familiar Pro-heroes: Mt. Lady and Present Mic.

Fukidashi announced he was going to his dorm room and walked away with barely having changed his shoes. Awase and Kendo seemed ready to join him, but decidedly didn’t, and Tsunotori was staring off into space, making a hole in the ground with her gaze.

“Hey!” Tetsutetsu started. “Glad to see you guys are okay!”

“What’s Mt. Lady doing here?” Togage meant as a whisper but was louder than she intended.

Present Mic took it as an opportunity, “Mt. Lady helped me gets these kids home from the hospital… and also to help me share the news on your classmates conditions.”

Everyone tensed at that and Shoda did a mental count on all his classmates. Excluding Kendo, Tsunotori, Awase, and Fukidashi, who were all now accounted for, the only two he hasn’t heard anything from is Shiozaki and Monoma.

“Miss Shiozaki had breakage in her leg that will take a while to heal, but she will be expected to make a full recovery.”

Everyone took a sigh of relief at that, but took notice to Kendo, Awase, and Tsunotori’s still miserable expressions.

Tsunotori had made her way over to where Honenuki sat on the couch and stood next to him, clinging onto his shoulder and arm, trembling. Her melancholy, practically heartbroken look, left the surrounding classmates tense for the last of the news.

Kendo shot her head up and took a deep breath, but nothing came out of her mouth for a second. “M-“ a hand jumped on her shoulder and she quickly looked to her left where Mt. Lady stood, who placed her other hand on Kendo’s other shoulder to turn the student towards herself.

“You don’t have to be strong right now,” Mt Lady whispered, “let the adults handle this.” The two stared into each other’s eyes for a moment before Kendo rushed into an embrace with Mt. Lady, holding tightly and not letting go. She cried no tears but her eyes were squeezed shut and she didn’t move.

Present Mic and Mt. Lady looked at each other for a moment before the giantess hero spoke up, still holding Kendo with one hand holding cradling her head.

“Monoma was stabbed on the battlefield which hit in-between his ribs and pierced a lung.” there were several gasps and hands flew up to mouths “-he also suffered a traumatic brain injury.” There were a few beats of silence: the classmates of 1-B processed that information and the heroes figured out what to say. “It was a miracle he lived through the ride to the hospital, but he lost a lot of blood.”

“But he's okay?” Kodai asked.

Present Mic continued what Mt. Lady was saying, “The doctors said he died at 16:13, about 3 hours ago.”

Most of the few students who were standing sat down on the couch or dropped to the floor. Dead? Monoma? No…

“What?” Komori's brittle voice echoed like a pin dropping.

“There’s no way… right?” Tetsutetsu was the quietest he’s ever been and his voice broke at the end.

“I’m so sorry.” Mt. Lady whispered.

Hokenuki looked up at Pony, who was still clinging onto his arm. She was biting her trembling lip looking like she was trying hard to not cry again. Suddenly his sight of her got blurry, and the ceiling started to rain.

Hi long time no Sailormoon ReStart stuff! Have. a lot of items lmao.

the first transformation items for everyone, plus their crystals! info below:

SO basically Sailor Crystals fall into two categories - Standard and Blessed. a Blessed Sailor Crystal does not have the standard rhombus shape, and can evolve further from its base form. Blessed Crystals denote an Otherness to the person's magic, making them stronger but also more susceptible to outside influences. People with Blessed Sailor Crystals transform with brooches, other Senshi use bracelets instead. If you use a brooch your transformation phrase uses Prism Power, otherwise you use Planet/Asteroid Power. I'll elaborate on the Crystals in another post otherwise this would be too long lmao

Usagi's first brooch changes once Serenity enters the picture, the center gem turning silver and the pearls on the bottom taking on the colors of her Senshi. Minako's first brooch goes through the same - using blue when as Sailor V and "Sailor Princess", her disguise persona, before turning to its natural orange. Mio/Beryl's reincarnation uses a brooch as well, but since she awakens after the first arc she doesn't have variants. Mamoru also has a brooch and transforms as well, but he's still not a Senshi.

The other Senshi use bracelets decorated with gems in their secondary colors. Pluto does not have a transformation brooch or bracelet as she's on a completely different level from the rest, having theoretically the "final" upgrade of the Solar System Senshi.

Then Chibs'/Tsubasa's crew! YEAH THERE'S A LOT HERE LMAO. The Asteroid Senshi use bracelets, but then Tsubasa goes through 3 brooches - the first one is a copy of Usagi's, using a mirror of her powers and appropriately using "Moon Mirror Power" to transform into Sailor Chibimoon. Then there's the corrupted version of it, using Wiseman's power to transform into Sailor Nemesis, then her ACTUAL first brooch, using her own power to become Sailor Eclipse. Saturn doesn't use anything in her first incarnation since SilMil!Saturn just takes over her body once Mistress 9 leaves it, but once she's revived in the future she gets a brooch.

here's how it goes:

everyone spends valentine's day in DEEP denial. tubbo isn't dead, he CAN'T be. when they die they come back, that's how it is, how it's ALWAYS been. the island is hell but at least fatalities don't stick, except in specific cases and all of them in the same white shells. of course philza jokes, he's thinking about tubbo, he can't stop. he's expecting tubbo to jump out at any moment, he's expecting to go to fobo and see tubbo hidden in the basement throwing darts at a picture of fit and pac looking at each other, he's expecting to go back to the dungeon and the body is gone (he hopes). tubbo's not dead. he can't die. none of them can, just the eggs.

(it never takes this long to come back; he knows something is wrong)

here's how it goes:

tubbo tells the kids "i'm on my last life." the eggs have always had lives. i don't think some of them have ever understood that the players have infinite chances, with their insistence on protecting their caretakers from deaths like their caretakers do for them, charging back into the eye worker war, refusing to back out of a dangerous dungeon before their parents do, wanting to protect. i don't know if they understand that to the players, death is like spit in the face: unpleasant, sure, but no big deal.

tubbo tells the kids "i'm on my last life" and of course they believe him. death is their constant companion, no more than two doors down. some eggs are used to it being a breath away.

here's how it goes:

tubbo is dead. the children mourn him. the players are scared. defiant. they always are. who among them has died? dan, missing; spreen, gone; maximus... well there was no body, no announcement, surely-

(how long did it take pierre to accept it? to realize it? to take down the missing person posters? not a day. not a day.)

juanaflippa died and there was a court case to save her. bobby died and the whole server journeyed to save him. when is the last time the players have taken death lying down?

here's how it goes:

tubbo dies, and he dies unloved (fit's arm is stretched out to save him). he dies without purpose (sunny is there, she's waiting, she knows he won't move). he dies and no one cares (chayanne refuses to leave, his godfather, he failed his-)

here's how it goes:

the valentine's party is so loud but too quiet. there's a name in the air, even when no one is saying it

"wow sure is good tubbo isn't here" phil says (he's said this before, he'll say it again, but isn't it strange how many times? perhaps even he doesn't believe it. perhaps he's trying to convince himself.)

here's how it goes:

a creature with too many faces comes. it tells them the truth they won't face. tubbo is gone.
