a little moment of connection between Demeter and Tantomile

Petra Ilse Dam's Tantomile seems to understand Demeter very well—among other things, she picks up immediately on her unease about fake Deuteronomy, and reacts with aggression towards him.

(alternatively: Demeter realising she has no chance at getting between Coricopat and Tantomile and their twinsync.)

Jo Lucy Rackham covering Demeter, and Rhys Batten as Coricopat.

Vienna revival, 24/06/2022, filmed by @cryptidvoidwritings and @falasta.

(And if you're looking for that other ship in the background, it's giffed over here.)

Coricomile headcanons

I, like a lot of people, view them as twins most of the time. But sometimes i don’t. So I’m going to talk about some of my headcanons for when i ship them as mates.

Coricopat and Tantomile have a unique relationship. They are both mystical cats with powerful telepathic and empathic abilities who on a deep soul level resonate in perfect harmony. They are so deeply connected that they do something they describe as Soul Cuddling, where their souls literally pull each other close and gently cradle and caress each other. A sign that they are doing this is when they mirror each other’s movements. which they do a lot.

Some cats are confused by the fact that they look physically identical, asking lots of questions about weather they looked different before they got together. Just lots of analyzing and theories. Tantomile and Coricopat just look at them like their insane and say “They’re my Soul’s Mate. Of course our physical bodies match.” If the questioner is smart they just leave it at that.

When the two met, it was like there was an electric charge the instant their eyes met. It was love at first sight in the fact that they knew in the depths of their souls, in that second, how important the other was.

On a not soul level, the pair adore each other as well. Tantomile loves what a goofball her mate is and his “Serious Face” never fails to make her laugh. Coricopat loves his “Spooky” wife. He finds it hilarious when Tantomile uses her reputation to tease other cats. No one else but him can tell if her Ominous Proclamations are serious or not. He’ll never give it away. It’s just too much fun.

The two absolutely go whole hog for Halloween, just the most spooky scary everything. They don’t know when to tone it down tho and have been the cause of many a kittens nightmares. But everyone loves to have Tantomile (with help from Cori) tell creepy stories during this time with full knowledge that she won’t hold back and Tanto will only tell them when asked.

The pair seriously wanted to adopt Mistoffelees. even tho he A) had a family. and B) was technically of age when they met. They were still very very determined to adopt the little magical cat. They weren’t sure if it was as older siblings or parents, they just wanted to adopt him. They settled for being his teachers and magical confidants. They will, if danger strikes, react in a “Don’t Touch My Kid!” manner. The fact that Misto is only about 9 years younger then them is dismissed as a technicality when brought up.

Tumblebrutus is very good at listening quietly and not fidgetting.

at all.

oops, hairball.

(Also the smoke machine is being over-enthusiastic, so a lot of the cast are incorporating 'trying to wave/blow the smoke away' into their reactions to Old Deuteronomy's words.)

a little twinsync

... plus an amiable grey interloper.

You thought they'd split up? Psych, they were just mirroring each other for some tumbles across the stage! (oh look, it's a Munkustrap photobomb again.)

Meghan Peploe Williams as Tantomile and Nathan Luke as Coricopat, joined by Matt Krzan's Munkustrap. Also some background Mungoteazer (Billy Mahoney and Katie Hutton), Tumblecass (Matthew Levick and Taryn Donna Borman), and Demeshanks (Anneka Dacres and Gavin Eden).

Yes! And I particularly love the fact that they are the roles easiest to genderbend! So if a production is running short on men on a given day, they can have a woman cover Coricopat—or vice versa.

Coricopat objects—he was busy showing off, thanks!—but the kitten is merry and bright, and also unquashable.
