CATS ships mating dances as my favourite strictly come dancing dances!!

That may or may not just be basically all of John and Johannes dances (pls dont judge me these are mostly mlm ships and I feel it best represents them plus they are all amazing!!)

(Inspired by this post!) Prepare bc ima dive head first into this and it will be long lol

__

There is no doubt in my mind now that tugoffelees would do a Rumba like This !!! Like the slow deliberate motions that were literally MADE to show eachother off while still taking their own places in the spotlight. A rumba isnt like either of their natural, preferred ways of dancing, but instead a dance that amplifies the emotions that are rarely ever seen infont of the tribe.

Tuggers deep caring side (that we see the moment after misto brings back old doot) is now fully on display for the tribe to see, showing how out of everything, this is who he found and he doesnt have eyes for anyone else, and this fact is something he knows he will never question.

On the other hand we see Mistoffelees, the dance displaying his talents perfectly, hes literally holding the spotlight on them as he shows the tribe that he can lean on Tugger, and without having to look, knows the other tom is right there, ready to support him and lead him if hes anxious, and vise versa.

NOT TO MENTION THE SONG!!! literally just them saying they are not together for popularity nor magical prowess bc they know they are more than that!

Next up is a lil crazy one but hear me out- Misto x Macavity is hands down This Paso Doble and I will fight you on it! THE POWER in every movement, the dance playing out as a fight because that's what their relationship is, in the best way possible!!!

You have these two incredibly powerful cats, who have always and forever will be, even between lives, connected by the same erratic destructive beautiful force of nature, and as much as they clash and make chaos, always in a never ending fight to see who's the best, but its because of that that they cant help getting drawn to eachother.

In the dance they are constantly drawing the other closer while also pushing away. They mirror eachothers movements while also dancing as the others oposit, an ongoing to and through. They keep switching who's leading as if its battle to be the one in control!!!!

Not to mention THE LIGHTING ITS SELF!!!! A gorgeous show of their emotions crazed and all over the place while still keeping order (plus a fun lil misto glittersplosion at the end!)

Okay this ones for the inspo of this post @afairytalestray and what I think for Coricojerries dance since their stuff basically convinced me this is arguably one of the best ships ever!!

Now I wasnt sure at first, like tugoffelees they are two very different people with very different dance style but when I tell you when i found this dance?? I became pretty sold I found it!!

First off the song?? When I think of coricojerrie my mind always thinks at how they are each one of a twin with vastly different life experiences yet they both still feel like lonely souls of london that found a home in eachother! Even with their sisters theres just something that separates them from the girls and the rest of the junkyard, but that didn't stop them from gaining an unquestioned place next to eachother!!

In the dance, they start off unsure, still a little lost but then the FIND eachother!!! In this uncanny contemporary dance that manages to mix in jerries acrobatics and acting into it, blending into something unconventional but THEM!!!!

They use each to get through life like they get through the dance, with the mix of physic powers and someone who had only really known a life of crime, the lead and lift eachother, and even if others think they are weird or annoying, they end heads held high and ready to support eachother!!

_____

Last but not least (for this post at least bc it's getting heckin long oops) ALONZOSTAP!!! I love these boys ma dudes okay and that why I cant deny my heart when i think of this show dance as their dance!

The sweet sweet mix between the tender I love you moments, to the fun showy bits that let's their personalities shine???? Them coming together at the beginning, letting how my they care for eachother come first, only to burst into something exiting and fun that's ever so slightly out of their comfort zones while still representing the laughter they bring to eachother!!

There is no denying that these two are both showmen at heart, just in different ways. Munk strives to tell the storys that teach the next generation, while Alonzo is more seeking the thrill of showing off and dancing because he knows he looks good because it feels good.

So together they are able to combine their loves if performing, dancing for the hell of it while also showing and teaching the younger cats what love is and how its supposed to make you feel! The intense moment where they show that the are the protectors of the tribe, that they are strong and that being who you are and loving someone intensely dosent take away your power but makes you stronger!!!

Now that's finally out of my head hears a couple extra that I either cant explain/ make obvious sence lol

Dont ask but this gives me young and fresh new dads skimblegus and I live for it!!!

Also we all know this is like, canon Platora

Also also this is literally like a sceen from my royal tugoffelees au I'm writing lol!!

If anyone wants more weird strictly cats dance rants give me ships and I'll try and do another post for them :D

[cat-brrr]

Boi got nervous

[munkustance]

Alonzo: There's some sexuall tension between you two.

*Macavity & Misto simultaneously*

Macavity: What's that got to do with it?

Mistoffelees: It's not tension, we're very happy.

[greenelectricsky]

04.12 - sleigh! 🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

Mungojerrie, from the top of a high pile of garbage and other junk: There is not a slope too high for slide!

Rumpleteazer, stand near him: Someone has to show kittens how to do it properly!

Cysiek, standing with Jenny: My bet: two cracked ribs, one pulled tail, six bumps on heads and at least ten bruises. You betting?

Jennyanydot, with sigh: Yes. Usual stakes?

(Cysiek is my oc, he partially lives in a vet clinic and very often helps Jenny with injured and/or sick cats.)

🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

FinFun, prepare the most bizarre, crazy and dangerous sleigh ride in the whole junkyard with jumps and other attractions.

Pouncival: I can't wait to try this one!

Tumblebrutus: Me too! His tracks are epic!

Etcetera: Oh, it'll be fun!!!

Mungojerrie: You think someone will die on that one too?

Pouncival, Tumblebrutus and Etcetera, alarmed: What?

Rumpleteazer, with innocence on her sweet face: You didn't know? Last year one of the cats tried his track and well... No one sees him never again...

Pouncival: I think we should go and... rethink that?

Tumblebrutus and Etcetera: Yeah, bye!

FinFun, appears next to Menace Duo: You're too good in scaring them off. But I don't know if you should talk about poor guy like that.

He added and disappeared with a mischievous smile.

Mungojerrie: Wait, what?

(FinFun is my oc, he's best friends with Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, they often work together but also compete, who make the best pranks.)

🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

Rum Tum Tugger, sitting on sleigh, with Misto between his thighs, snuggled close black back to fluffy chest: Are you ready?

Mistoffelees: No.

Rum Tum Tugger: What? What more do you need? The track is safe and we have pads!

Mistoffelees: I want a kiss!

Rum Tum Tugger, with shrug: OK handsome...

When Tugger bows to kiss his lover, Misto with a mischievous smile push them with magic.

Rum Tum Tugger: Whooooaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

Mistoffelees and Macavity, riding on a charmed sleigh, so no one needs to pull them.

Mistoffelees: It was a perfect idea! One of the best!

Macavity, nuzzling his lover's ear: As most of your ideas...

Mistoffelees: I know! Wait, what? What does it mean "most"?

Macavity: You apear in my thoughts very often nowadays.

Mistoffelees: Really?

Macavity: I think a lot about you. Your certain body parts. And organs.

Mistoffelees:

Macavity: Enough, I don't want to scare you away.

Mistoffelees: Oh no, I'm interested. Go on.

[millenari]

For the ship bingo: tuggoffelees of course, but I also raise you the opposite, mistocavity

tuggoff my beloved

mistocavity

I'll be honest there have been a non-zero number of times I was putting myself to bed by crafting up some silly little tuggoff stories in my head and stopped myself halfway through like 'this is getting kind of angsty' and also 'tugger wouldnt even act like that' and then 'oh god this is a mistocavity fic. im drafting a mistocavity fic. how did mac even sneak in there'

[real-reulbbr-band]

Tuggoffelees or mistocavity for the ship meme?

content warning for the ships stated apply here.

I'll hold your hand through this because I know people on the Cats Tumblr can be very strict about shipping Mac with anyone other than Bomb or Dem. I just want to share my thoughts on the ship, nothing more. Okay?

(Also, sorry if I come across as harsh; I'm just very opinionated about this.)

Tuggoffelees

They could never make me hate you!!!

I enjoy most interpretations of their relationship and am not particularly picky about them. Sometimes, I like to see them as exes, other times as playful friends, but my favorite version is always the revival and how much they care about each other.

about not highlighting the fanon discussion, I feel like I see more complaints about "fanon" (which hasn't been a major issue since 2016) than the actual bad fanon itself. That's just my perspective. I'm not saying we need a new topic, but it does feel a bit repetitive. Also, people seem a bit too comfortable hating on Tuggoff when discussing their ships and it does annoy me a little.

Mistocavity

I know some people might dislike me for even considering this, but I want to clarify that I don't really "ship" them. I remember being curious about their tag earlier in the fandom, and honestly, I really enjoyed the content I found.

I think I like the idea of an AU where Misto is a double agent working for Macavity, and Macavity somewhat respects him. As unlikely as that is, given Macavity's toxic and jealous nature, it's an interesting concept to explore.

My main interest is in seeing them interact, maybe before Macavity left the Jellicles, just to see what they would talk about. That's all I'm interested in saying though.

[elegantfelinity]

this is easy victugger mistopat/coristoffelees mistocavity mungotoria there's probably more i'm forgetting or avoiding to prevent being cancelled lol

Y'all--

Give me all of your rare pairs! I don't care how weird they would be! (No MungoTeazer though, in my eyes they're twins.)

Also I am still not familiar with what's considered a 'rare pair' in the Cats fandom, I am trying my best to understand lol!

My rare pair(s) is/are probably:

Bombateazer (Bombalurina x Rumpleteazer)

Victeazer (Victoria x Rumpleteazer)

[mystery-vixen]

[junkyard-gifs]

... thanks to Nicholas Li deciding to hastily pull on his Macavity wig and unitard for the curtain calls on closing night of the Vienna revival, we now have onstage footage of Macavity just hanging out with the tribe. And interacting with them. Including this gem:

Thank you, Diane Bauer.

Mistocavity shippers, your hour has come!

With Stephen Martin Allan as Mistoffelees; 26 June 2022.

[cat-brrr]

Blushie blush

[munkustance]

Mistoffelees: Are we fighting or flirting?

Macavity: I'm pinning you against a wall with my hand around your neck-

Mistoffelees: Your point?

[rainbowratsstuff]

Misto wants stronk Mac?

[eldritchmist]

Mistoffelees *sits at the outer side of the Junkyard's entrance, fur perfectly groomed, and date-prepared*

Tugger: Hi Sparkles, are you waiting for someone?

Mistoffelees: Actually, yes.

Tugger: A tall, handsome tom with fluffy mane to warm you at this chilly evening, right?

Mistoffelees: Yes.

Tugger *blinks, fluff his mane and sneaks closer*

Mistoffelees: How do you know that Macavity and I are dating?

Tugger: ...the Fuck??!?

[the-best-pj]

Things are most likely to say based off your favorite Cats ship.

Mr. Mistoffelees x Tugger: I'm not watching the 2019 movie, they ruined my boys.

Demeter x Bombalurina: Hi I'm a lesbian.

Bombalurina x Tugger: It's not weird to read fanfiction in public if I don't get caught

Mr. Mistoffelees x Macavity: I don't get what all the hates about, Draco x Harry is a great ship.

Skimbleshanks x Jennyanydots: Do you know what better than a loving parent? Two loving parents.

Jennyanydots x Jellylorum: Do you know what better than a loving mother that would fight God? Two loving mothers that would fight God.

Munkustrap x Alonzo: What do you mean you wouldn't date your best friend?

Mr. Mistoffelees x Victoria: Yes, I am straight. Why do you ask?

Mungojerrie x Coricopat: It's not a problem that I only read crack fics.

Bombalurina x Macavity: Look, I get it, he's a murderer, but the Phantom still loved Christene.

Demeter x Munkustrap: My mental illness has nothing to do with my ship!

Mungojerrie x Rumpleteazer: Hello, I'm @0zzysaurus. Want to see my new drawing?

[millenari]

Give me your mistocavity headcannons pls pls

I like the idea of Misto and Macavity finding something in each other that they don't get anywhere else, even in a platonic context. They share a lot of parallels with each other that the other cats don't have, and I like the idea of them being connected somehow. By fate or the Everlasting Cat or something like that-- I've seen hcs where Misto was made as a punishment or counter for Macavity specifically and I kind of like that.

Also theres something kinda funny about 'this guy was made as a personalized cosmic punishment for my evil deeds & represents everything I could have been if I hadn't decided to be so self-serving and cruel. we bone sometimes.'

Misto can actually be pretty brutal, though you may not get that impression from him if youve read my gold rush fic. He's pretty susceptible to ideas like justice and rightful vengeance, and is rarely upset inherently by the sight of violence.

However if he thinks a situation isn't Right, he'll stop at nothing to prevent it from happening, so Macavity has to be careful about what he lets Misto see. Not because Misto's a delicate flower who'll change opinions of Mac if he sees him Do A Violence, but because Misto will come out guns blazing if he thinks Macavity is being an asshole, and Misto's basically the only cat in London who can rock Macavity's shit if he so desired (without suffering major damage in return, that is)

On that note, by virtue of being able to teleport, Macavity cannot force Misto to do anything or keep him anywhere.

This pisses him off so fucking bad.

This makes Misto very smug.

The only way Macavity can 'make' Misto do anything is by virtue (virtue?) of manipulation, which unfortunately for Misto he tends to be pretty susceptible to. They are constantly playing 4d chess with each other, and Misto tends to assume anything that comes out of Macavity's mouth is at least 30% untrue and 80% said with an agenda.

Weirdly though, he finds that kind of freeing. Misto struggles with implication sometimes and worries a lot about being patronized/misled/etc by his peers pretty much constantly. But with Macavity he knows Mac is trying to fuck with him, so it kind of just takes all of the worrying about if it is happening right off the table.

When Macavity is being Relatively Normal he frequently reminds Misto of Tugger and it kind of freaks him out.

That being said, they tend to enjoy each other's company in good times. They have a similar sense of humor, and Misto's (fairly small) mean streak sometimes lines up with Macavity's.

Macavity kind of has this vision in his head of his Ultimate Relationship which is kind of this unconventional throuple-slash-harem with him, Misto, and Demeter- but he knows it wont ever happen because if he ever successfully captures Demeter Misto will let her go. So if he wanted to keep Demeter he'd have to run Misto off first.

So his options are either have all of Demeter (only if he succeeds in taking her) or have, like, half of Misto willingly. It's a constant conundrum for him.

Due to his particular singular focus and trend towards obsession Macavity will frequently neglect grooming himself (those uncombed damned whiskers) and due to being an insane neat freak Misto will just follow him around and comb through his tail or whatever. so youll have macavity getting a Mission Report from Henchcat #253 standing there Menacingly with his arms crossed but right behind him is this small man who's holding up all 35 billion metric tons of his fluffy tail doing the cat equivalent of giving him a blowout.

Misto frequently joins Macavity for varying jobs but doesn't contribute or anything. Sometimes he wanders off part of the way through but most of the time he just kind of watches. Oftentimes judgmentally. Like so:
