(edit: FUCK I FORGET TO POST THIS IN ANSWER TO AN ASK FKSJSJFJSS but this was from @ride-a-dromedary )
26. What is your most favourite of your own headcanons?
That Sillabub becomes the next Jellicle Leader! There's so much kindness and hope in her eyes, and she's established to have a strong sense of spirituality,,, it makes sense to me and also she's a very good girl who deserves it. I also just like the idea of her having this dark legacy of having been Macavity's favored heir when she was born, and then coming into leadership of the tribe who saved her and her mother from him,,, it just gets me ya know,,,
34. If you had to choose one production's interpretation of a character to write about for the rest of your life, which character and interpretation would you pick?
I spent a really long time trying to come up with a solid answer for this, but there really isn't one. I don't have a favorite production or favorite interpretations, tbh.
And sure, I could write about Sillabub all day, but that's because I have a ton of lore for her that I made up. She's also just the type of cat to not have too much variation in personality across productions due to her smaller role; she's a nice kitten who's childish innocence lends her sympathy towards Grizabella.
I will say that I do enjoy Arianna Rosario's Sillabub very much. I like her fun and playful energy, and one thing that I see a lot of Sillabubs do when they sing to/about Grizabella, they take on a very solemn tone, like they're coming under a trance, but Arianna keeps this sweet, kind smile on her face, and I like it!! The design used for the Broadway Revival and US Tour 6 do like a little more "grown-up" than previous US designs, but that's what I go off of for her Jellicle Leader look anyways. Arianna also just has one of the prettiest voices,,,
40. Make up a new OC on the spot!!
Okay I started writing shit up but then I wanted to make a quick design as well so
Coricopat and Tantomile's father!! His name is uhhh *spins wheel* Thalion and he's a loner, unattached to any tribe. He has intense psychic abilities, and the thoughts of other cats are so loud and clear in his mind that he gets headaches from being around groups.
He had a fateful meeting with Jemima (the adult swing) one night, and her lack of shame for her impulses and sense of humor were so charming that he fell a little head over heels for her. They spent one magical night together, and then never saw eachother again.
Not on purpose, though; Thalion knows that he has powerful abilities that certain nefarious cats would love to get their paws on, and he would rather avoid that. He's had a few encounters with Macavity before, and all of them were slimy and icky, and Thalion really wanted to be left alone, so he skipped town, and now he spends all of his time wandering around aimlessly.
#and again to clarify when i say Jemima i mean the adult swing character#when cori and tanto started to display their powers i think jemima went looking for thalion#didn't find him of course; he was long gone by then#which is fine by her; she doesn't like to rely on others too much for things that are important to her#i think that thalion knows that he has kids somewhere; he senses them or something like that#but he doesn't wanna go near Macavity and he's not super interested in raising kids#but he does think about Jemima sometimes#anyways thalion is mysterious and ineffable and jemima thought that was sexy af and stopped at nothing to get some with him
