#cryptid cori and tanto

[emmikay]

Tantomile: I agree with Mistoffelees on this, I think there comes a point where it’s a skeleton and not an actual dead person anymore.

Coricopat: I mean; we know it’s a dead person-

Demeter: I don’t think that’s correct- I think it’s both things at the same time.

Mistoffelees: I think there’s a point where, say, a piece of fruit but it’s been out so long that even conceiving of it as a piece of fruit is just not useful.

Rum Tum Tugger: That’s a good point.

Munkustrap: I’m pretty sure that’s incorrect.

Coricopat: Do you call a cherry pit a dead cherry?

Alonzo: Yeah, I’m leaving.

Jemima: Could you still eat the body? If you can’t eat the body anymore then it’s not a person.

Plato: I think you could eat anything if you’re determined enough.

Rum Tum Tugger: That is also a very fair point.

🎁🧠🎯 :]

🎁 If you could give any of the ensemble cats a song, who would it be? What would it be about?

I would give Alonzo his own song! I made a post about it before, here

🧠 Share a headcanon/theory about the show that you like!

So many, but I really love all the hcs about the mating bond :) and the pas de deux. Also any and all headcanons about the Everlasting Cat and how religion works, I've honestly thougt so much about how the whole thing works and it's such an interesting thing to think about. For example, cats are reborn nine times and then just kinda. i dont actually know what happened after that lmao. bad example. also cryptid!misto <3. He be immortal and meeting the reincarnations of cats. and magical. speaking of magic, another of my fave hcs is that all jellicles have magic aside from their terpsichorean powers. like, there are big flashy, obvious magicks like those of misto/mac and the implied magicks of cori/tanto/jem but i also like the idea of subtle magic. i used this example in mistocord before, but skimble's magic being that he knows exactly when the midnight mail will leave and that he can predict which passengers will travel on the train again.

i also touch on the subtle magicks hc at the end of this ficlet

🎯 What's a common headcanon/theory/interpretation that you don't prescribe to?

Griz as Munk and Tugger's mom/Deut's mate. I prefer her as Bomba and Deme (and occasionally Vic)'s mother instead :3

I don't hate it though, and I have enjoyed content about this hc when I've seen it

Coricopat and Tantomile!

Coricopat

OTP: Probably Coricopat/Mistoffelees! I don't really ship Coricopat with anybody, but I do quite like this ship. They can get up to magic shit and be little weirdo cryptids together. If you catch them chanting to a furby in the middle of a ring of candles, mind your business

BROTP: Coricopat & Tantomile, of course! Aside from that, I like to imagine that Cori is close friends with Demeter and Bombalurina, actually. They like doing yoga and wellness exercises together and also go out for the cat equivalent of mimosas.

NOTP: Coricopat/Tantomile for obvious reasons.

Although, I actually learned that recent Shiki productions play them (or, as they're known in Japan, Cassandra and Tumblebrutus) as a couple, which I think is an interesting take that I don't actually dislike as an alternative to them being twins. I still can't find myself being very interested in them being lovers as opposed to siblings, though.

MEHTP: Coricopat/Mungojerrie. Mostly because I hard hc Jerrie as aroace, but I'm already much more invested in Tantoteazer, and shipping Coricojerrie for me has the same energy as a lazy direct-to-DVD sequel.

Rairpair: Hear me out: Coricopat/Tugger. When I write them in Jellicle Chats, they have a very intense no-homo bromance, and I haven't confirmed this the canon of that fic yet but they have absolutely explored eachother's bodies before. I just like the dynamic of Tugger being an impulsive and chaotic person who causes problems on purpose being enabled by Coricopat, who is just as unhinged as he is, but in a more subtle and pseudo-intellectual way.

Tantomile

OTP: Tantoteazer!! I love this ship dynamic so much!! Tantomile is so calm and cool and thoughtful all the time, and Rumple "Head Empty No Thoughts" Teazer is her polar opposite. You'd never expect them to get along so well, but Teazer brings a refreshing amount of spontaneity and zest into Tanto's life. And Teazer just admires the hell out of Tanto for being so smart and capable, but she isn't smart enough to ever think to be intimidated by her.

BROTP: Tantomile & Coricopat. Unlike her brother, I think that she has a harder time getting close to other cats, so he and Teazer are the two cats she considers closest to her. That being said, she LOVES spending time with Sillabub, but their relationship is more that of a mentor and mentee than best friends. She helps Sillabub foster her magical powers, and the two of them like to sit quietly and watch the stars together, and talk about life and other philosophical things.

NOTP: Again, Tantomile/Coricopat. I think this would even be in the context of the Shiki productions, where they aren't siblings. They're already similar enough in personality and role that this pairing is just very boring to me.

MEHTP: Tantomile/Cassandra. Due to the way I personally characterize Cassandra as very narcissistic and condescending, I would more label Tantomile and Cassandra's relationship as frenemies. They both have interest and skill in the occult, and have respect for eachother in that regard, but they don't actually get along well.

Rairpair: Tantomile/Bombalurina. I think Bombalurina has a great confidence that spills over into other people. She's aggressive, but it always comes from a place of love and protectiveness. Tantomile just feels...very safe around her.

[bag-of-broadway-snacks]

Imagine the chaos if Tanto & Cori, Mac, and Misto were friends. Like, we stan ofc, but the chaos~ We love the chaos~

Oh god, the cryptid trio and Mac. The city would never sleep. I love it.
