If mainstream fandom girlies can fabricate a ship out of two random boys standing next to each other then why can’t I do that except with two girls that are cats

My gift for @ratherchaseamouse in @bees-in-a-davidbowie-shirt ‘s holiday gift exchange!

Tantomile: The Everlasting's greatest gift? A really good nap.

Rumpleteazer: Counterpoint: girls.

Tantomile: Correction: a really good nap with your girl.

i can read your fortune, it says your a nerd

"I can read your fortune," Rumpleteazer said, holding up three tarot cards with an impish look in her eye. "It says you're a nerd."

"Does not!" Tantomile laughed and reached for the cards, but she pulled them deftly out of reach.

"Does too, right here. I thought it was quite rude to say, but I guess the cards are always right." She laid them out on the table between them — the Fool, the Lovers, the High Priestess — and folded her arms smugly.

Tantomile felt a slight blush across her cheeks as she examined the cards. "It says nothing of the sort. Here: the fool represents someone who's unaware of what's going on around them, but is all the happier for it. The- uh, high priestess, she's someone who's mystical, but closed off emotionally. And as for the lovers — well, that's self-explanatory."

Teazer was now sporting quite the Cheshire grin. "Sounds like two cats I know. One of whom is a complete nerd about tarot."

"Well, that's the thing about tarot. It always has a way of reflecting reality." She couldn't help but melt at Teazer's told-you-so expression, giggling as she picked up the cards and put them away.

"Or maybe this fool knows a thing or two about stacking the deck."

Rumpleteazer: Oh, come on!

Tantomile: I'm not sure... It's not my style...

Rumpleteazer: It'll be fun!

Tantomile: OK... But I usually dance a little differently...

Rumpleteazer: Don't worry, when you dance like that it's not important if you know how to do that or not!

Tantomile: Yes, I know... That's a problem actually...

For the character and pairing ask:

Tantomile 😙

OFC OFC

this took long cause I don't usually ship Tantomile with anyone so I had to work my brain to come up with things.

My NOTP for them 

Her with Coricopat or Cassandra, because I see them all as related.

My BROTP for them

Coricopat!!! but also I've been thinking about Tantomima and Tantomile being friends with Jemima since I've heard some headcanons floating around about Jemima potentially having some sort of powers, and like just imagine her trying to keep it a secret. she's scared, ashamed even, her having powers just makes her more similar to her dad and that's the last person she wants to be similar to. but cori and tanto know she has them cause well their psychics and guiding her through it. imagine Tantomile being a sort of mentor for Jemima. them bounding cause they're both out of the ordinary and Jemima is worried about making her friends afraid of her and tantomile knows the feeling of being feared or looked at with caution all too well. There's alot of potential there is what i'm trying to say.

My OTP for them 

I'm slowly getting brainwashed into the tantoteazer agenda and quite frankly no objections they're cute.

My second choice pairing for them 

mmmmmmm I'm not sure if I have a definitive one but I've seen some Tantometer on my dashboard and I'm intrigued.

the meditation be going hard I’m telling you. Like Tantomile cupping Demeter’s face when she’s nervous, taking her to secret quiet places in the junkyard, walks together in the night just enjoying each other's peace just love love.

My fluffy pairing for them

Platonic Tantomima or Electramile

romantic 2019 Tantomile x Mungojerrie If I remember correctly they dance together and then I got the idea of Mungo having a big soft spot for her.

My angsty pairing for them 

Hmm...perhaps also 2019 Mungomile? Tantojerrie ? Idk the name but like imagine the drama after the whole Jellicle ball. Does Tantomile question her loyalty to him and whether she wants to continue their relationship or does she have to consider how his involvement with Macavity and actively working with him (during Macavity's number) impacts the other cats she cares about??? Does Mungojerrie feel overly remorseful?

yeah this is a crack ship based on a couple of secounds but like let them being silly angsty

My favorite poly ship for them 

Don’t think I have one? Sorry

My weirdest pairing for them

2019 Tantotoria are cuties !!!!

ok you suggesting Tantomile got me into a lot of tantomile content and I like her a lot more then I used to so thank you so much !!!!!!

[munkustance]

Mungojerrie: Why are your tongues purple?

Rumpleteazer: We had slushies. I had a blue one.

Tantomile: I had a red one.

Mungojerrie: oh

Mungojerrie:

Mungojerrie: OH

Coricopat:

Coricopat: You drank each other's slushies?

[sillybub]

Yay thanks for answering my ask :3

It rlly helped me get more confidence to go ahead and write that fic

But I have more questions!

What do you think makes teazer different from mungo and coricopat different from tantomile

I’m rlly curious what you think!!

Ooh good question!! Similar though they are to their twins, they are still individuals.

So with our catbuglars, I think Jerrie is better at planning ahead and between the two of them is the "idea" guy, while Teazer thrives more in the chaos of the moment. Jerrie is slick and subtle, and Teazer is blundering and impulsive. She follows her gut instinct and while she might not make the most efficient choices, she doesn't deliberate when a snap decision needs to be made, which can be Jerrie's pitfall when the plan inevitably goes South.

But they are both mischievous gremlins who hold nothing sacred and are mostly out here just trying to have a good time, sometimes at the expense of others. They have similar taste, and they both value independence. Just maybe not from eachother (at first).

As for Tantomile vs Coricopat, I think their differences are more subtle--it's harder to tell where one ends and the other begins. Because I think to the two of them, they may as well be the same cat split between two bodies. They get called "CoricopatandTantomile" in one amalgamated identity by all the rest of the tribe, and when rarely seen apart, are constantly mistaken for eachother. They do not mind this and both will really answer to either name when alone.

I think their differences really come down to small things--Tantomile's favorite color is yellow and Coricopat's is purple. Tantomile likes listening to the rain, but that sound bothers Coricopat. Tantomile likes queens, and Coricopat doesn't.

I think it would take Tantomile spending time away from Coricopat to become more fully realized individual, I think. She definitely has weirder, more mystical stuff going on than Rumpleteazer for sure.

oh wait nvm I just realised you answered some of those already *wheeze* so 💛💙💜 instead

Asdjashd dw about it 🩵

💛 A favorite familial relationship

I really like the idea of Gus Sr and Grizabella being siblings, with Asparagus Jr and Jellylorum being Gus’ kids

💙 A ship that you like, but disliked at first

At first I thought coricojerrie and tantoteazer were copy-pastes of each other and kinda lazy, just like “oh they’re the two twin pairs let’s ship them” but now. I think I get it. The dynamics are pretty fun, and it’s kind of helped me realize how I personally distinguish Jerrie from Teazer and Cori from Tanto respectively, cause the ships themselves feel really different to me. They’re not quite up there among my favorite ships but I do like them

💜 A crack ship

I don’t have many crack ships but I think the closest is Raffish Crew polycule lol

[orangesand-lemons-234]

hey there saw ur cats fic snippet and it looks very cute! btw question what got ya into cats and whats ur fav character n ship?

Hi, and thank you so much!

That story was meant to be released on Halloween but I just never got to finishing it- I should probably give it a go at some point!

So I've always been a fan of Cats, cause my ma was a massive fan of it when she was around my age, and introduced me to it at a young age! (she sang Memory for her Leaving Cert music class and passed top marks!)

I think what got me into the fandom however was during the Cats VS Newsies war a few months back? Didn't think there'd be that big of a fandom, but it's been super cool so far!

I don't have a singular favourite ship, but the top ones in my mind are Elecetera, Demelurina (Or Delonzatrap!), Coricojerrie, Tantoteazer, or Jellydots!

(at the art museum)

Rumpleteazer: Can we take a picture?

Tantomile: (taking out her phone) Sure.

Rumpleteazer: (grabbing a painting off the wall) QUICK! Let's go before they catch us!

Tantomile: WAIT-
