Tagging by @just-a-little-belle (thank you!!)
Last song: either Coño / Jason Derulo or If I'm lucky / Jason Derulo
Currently watching: Virgin River on Netflix - this has sucked me in, I started watching with my sis as she was recovering from surgery and now I'm powering through season 4 cuz s5 if out next month
Currently reading: still slowly trying to get back into the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. I've read Gideon the 9th, and tried to get into Harrow the 9th but found it confusing so I put it down, then went back to Gideon, and then +vague handwave+ life. I'll get there though.
Current obsession: ummmmmmm finishing the bathroom reno? Virgin River? Getting stoned and sleeping? Fixing my car? I got a lot going on but idk if any are at obsession-level
Zero pressure tagging some folks I'd like to know what's up! @library-graffiti @scooplery @sciencetynan (only if your hand is feeling up to typing!) @vincentbriggs

say what you will about cats but I don’t think there has ever been a more iconic line than when Jason derulo’s fursona says “it’s party time. With your permission of course.

Songs they’d rail you too
JJK MEN X READER
Tumblr media
A/n: I know its been three weeks since I’ve posted any content but here you guys are T_T
Warnings: Car sex, dub con, size kink, rough sex, dacryphillia, begging, oral, min prep, nipple play
Characters: Sukuna, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, Toji Fushiguro 
Tumblr media
Gojo satoru- Sexy back
Oh this is this man’s JAM
He’s so confident as he rails you, occasionally mouthing the words to the song 
Its hot. Everything is so hot. The car windows are fogging up and the tight space is filled with the sound of skin on skin, whines and lengthy moans. Tears clouded your vision as you bounced up and down Gojos dick in the front car seat. Every time you landed back down, the tip of his cock seemed to rub against your spot perfectly and smush against your cervix.
“Well someones energetic today,” Gojo says through a grin,  pushing back his white hair that was sticking to his sweaty forehead and taking in one of your perky nipples into his hot mouth. 
“S-shut u-u-up” You cut your self off with a moan when he rolls your nipple between his teeth and releases with a loud ‘pop’. 
“Shhhh, how bout we listen to some music baby?”
Your too lost in the pleasure to notice Gojo reach behind you and turn up the volume on the dash board. 
“I’m bringing sexy back (yeah) Them other fuckers don't know how to act (yeah)”
Geto suguru- My humps (slowed and reverbed)
Also another equally sleazy song like his white haired friend
Probably playing in a club while he lets you suck him off 
“Arent ya’ precious”
Getos words of praise are sent straight to your core as you dutifully lick a fat stripe up the shaft of his dick before taking in his thick length into your mouth. The salty taste of precum stains the back of your throat and you do your best to take in at least 1/4 of his length. 
“Aw come on, I know you can go farther then that.”
Your eyes go white when he grabs the back of your head and shoves your face forward, forcing you to take in his length as a whole. You gag and claw at his thighs, trying to push your self back away from his length. But Geto didnt budge. The vibrations from the music outside the club bathroom pounded in your head as fat tears streamed down your face. 
“Just breath through your nose sweet cheeks, trust me ill go easy.”
“Whatcha gon' do with all that ass All that ass inside them jeans? I'ma make, make, make, make you scream”
And boy, how that was a lie.
Sukuna- Such a whore
Idk mf probably has a bluetooth speaker in his domain or smth 
just humor me for the sake of this fan fic plz I swear u wont regret it T_T
“S-stop! I-it wont fit please!”
You weakly push as Sukunas built chest but its too no avail. He's already aligning his fat tip with your entrance and god, the pressure is exhilarating. You were quick to realize that no amount of prepartion would ever prepare you to accommodate Sukunas length. 
“Shut the fuck up brat, you can take it.” He seethes, and your about to protest when he pushes in. You open your mouth to scream but nothing comes out. Tendrils of pleasure wash over you in electric currents down to your toes and from your head. 
“Ya like feeling me in your tummy doncha?” Sukuna says through a grin, shallowly thrusting into you. Your juices dripped down the base of his cock and onto the floor, and your pussy helplessly fluttered around his cock; trying its best to push out the large foreign intrusion but all take it in farther. The feeling of pain and pleasure is so overwhelimg it has you squirming away from Sukunas hold and gasping for air. 
“Is it - hah - too much for you, even after you begged me for it? poor thing, does it hurt?”
“I'll fuck her when I'm bored Like I need, she's a whore I love it”
Toji Fushiguro- Na na (slowed)
Probably plays music to set the mood for who ever he’s seducing this week lol cuz this man just cant keep it in his pants
This is one of the many songs he has alongside a number of Justin Timberlake, Jason derulo and other sleazy songs LMAO
Toji’s thrusts where agonizingly slow, yet the way his dick dragged along your walls with with retraction of his hips hit every sweet spot inside you so perfectly. Fat tears rolled down your face  as you whined and moaned. You needed more. It was all you could think, the need to cum fast and hard was taking you over.
More more more.
“PLEASE!!! I p-promise ill be good j-GOD j-just go faster!” You wailed. 
A grin spread across Toji’s devishly handsome face.
“Sure you can handle it baby?”
You nod incessantly and Toji responds with a hum before retracting his hips and slamming into you with brute force. Legs spread apart by the crooks of his elbows, you bit into your bottom lips as you watched him hammer himself into you like a starved man. The friction is delcious and you babbled and whined as the knot inside you built and built.
“Girl you have good, but I could give you better I'll have you take it bout forever I'mma make you say Ooh na na”

Enhypen current energies - September Shufflemancy reading
♡ Shufflemancy reading - 04/09/22 Disclaimer: I’m a beginner with tarot and my readings could be correct and could be not. I am still learning so please take everything with a grain of salt. These readings are for fun and for entertainment purposes only <3 This is all alleged. I don’t want to hurt any idol or send them hate.
Heeseung
Winter break - Tiesto, MUNA
Oh, baby I think we both know This is the love that we won't get right Still if you said that you wanted I know I'll always have one more try
Oh my god, so Heeseung is like in like an on-and-off relationship. It feels even toxic because he is like using the partner, well clarifying both are using each other, just for S€X. There is no love. They try to break up but his ex in half an hour is in front of his home waiting for him, yk? They need to figure this out. It's a fwb situation more likely, they know is toxic but they go back to each other.
Jay
No blueberries - DPR IAN, CL, DPR LIVE
I’m just kind of lost I fall from you I’ve been looking down a lot I fall from you I’m falling way too soft I fall from you Now tell me when to stop
This poor is in love and he fall in love hard, the problem is that he saw in his crush that they treat him pretty cold, so he is running away from his feelings. He feels confused because he doesn't know what he did wrong.
Jake
Pumped Up - Klingande
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You better run, better run, outrun my gun All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
Okay so this man right here is enjoying life with the chaebols kid, with the popular kids, but also he has been thinking how hard it was to have that position and become an idol.
Sunghoon
Side by side - Bewhy
빛이 있는 곳을 향하니 그림자는 내 등을 따르지 넌 있지못해 가만히 유혹은 옆에 나란히
He has been thinking about a crush that he has and he has a bit of hesitation to pursue it or not. Because of saseangs his career could be damaged after a lot of hard work and his doubts had been eating him alive. He feels that Hybe limits him to pursue what he loves.
Jungwon
Love not war - Jason Derulo, Nuka
I know money can't buy, buy, buy your love I guess I didn't try, try hard enough But we could work this like a nine-to-five
Jungwon is having trouble in his relationship but he is trying to fix his mess ups and work on the relationship, (he knows he is wrong and I like he admits it). The way he has been treating his partner is been through gifts but his SO has said enough and they prefer to talk about their problems. Jungwon is very jealous, protective, and flirtatious. He can be possessive too. He needs to learn through communication that gifts don't buy happiness (cuz he thinks it does).
Sunoo
Pretty Old Man - No buses
Your breath blows my hair in this crowded space Stinks all the time cause you're older You smoke everytime You will be critically ill Wish you live longer, longer
He must be seen his grandparents or someone older than him that he admires. This person had a great impact on Sunoo's life. I'm sorry for him but that person when they pass away will live in his heart.
Niki
Learn to fly - Surfaces, Elton John
All the broken people put your hands up high If you lift them up you might just touch the sky All the lonely people put your hands up high If you loosen up you might just learn to fly
I feel so sorry for Niki, he feels lonely in his group and that's the most heartbreaking thing, feels surrounded by people but feels lonely because no one understands him. This must be because he's away from home, Japan, and he's in a difficult culture.
This changes over time. Everyone has free will and vibrations change. Hope you like this reading <3

just a boy with an acoustic guitar :]
stream title - “Your City Gave me Asthma (1 year celebration)” streamed july 13, timestamp 1:00:13
yt vod title - same as above (uploaded by the channel Dream SMP VODS)
TRANSCRIPT (& lyrics):
Wilbur: I wasn’t a singer, I was just a—I was just a boy with an acoustic guitar. And I still am! I still am just a boy with an acoustic guitar, so. And I used to—remember I used to lose over...90% of my viewership. And I mean that, like I used to have about 800 viewers by the end. My mods will remember, my mods will remember this. And um—uh—so.
To be sat here right now, going for an hour of just music, and I haven’t dipped below one hundred and thirty thousand people...is, fucking humbling as hell. And thats not ‘cause of me, I haven’t done anything man, that’s ‘cause of you. That’s ‘cause of you sat here and watching, uh. ‘Cause I—I—I’m just playing music, you—you’re the—you’re the—you’re the fucking weirdos that enjoy it. *laughs* So, um, I’m going to play you a song. Uh, a song that I know most of you will enjoy. For sure. Doesn’t matter, you’ll all like it. Ready?
[He starts playing the guitar and vocalizes the intro tune of his song “Your New Boyfriend” by singing “ba ba da ba” etc etc. Then he begins actually singing the song and continuing to play the guitar.]
[sung] Life isn't quite what I thought I'd be / When I was a kid on VoIP / I thought when I get older / I'd marry her, I told her / Now I'm 26, and I work in an office / Nine 'til five's not the best, I'll be honest / If I could change a single thing
I’d make it you and not— [He pauses for a second because those are the wrong lyrics]
[spoken] ...me and not him, actually.
[sung] But he's in your bed, I'm in your Twitch chat / I've got the key and he's just a doormat / And even though he's got social skills / That doesn't mean I can't pay the bills / Anyway, make the most of him / 'Cause she moves on pretty bloody quick, oh-oh / Your new boyfriend's an asshole (woo!)
[Guitar instrumental]
[sung] Yeah, I've met Jared / [spoken] of course, I've met Jared / The one who took you away from me / You hit it off instantly / I know, 'cause you won't stop telling me / I've seen his jawline, shoulders, and muscles / Pushed against his fashion sense / I've thought about what he looks like nude / [spoken] I'm not gay, though
And she's living the dream / Oh, she's living the dream / From back when we were 17 / How on earth could I be saved / When I'm one click away from insane? / I just think that I deserve / A little bit of what I earned / I'm not gonna make another scene / The one I made when I was 23 / Means I'm not allowed in Disney World
[spoken] Chat...
[sung] Cuz he's in your bed, I'm in your Twitch chat / I've got the key and he's just a doormat / And even though he's got social skills / That doesn't mean I can't pay the bills / Anyway, make the most of him / ‘Cause she moves on pretty bloody quick, oh-oh / Your new boyfriend's an asshole (woo!)
[Guitar instrumental]
[spoken to the beat of the song] Woo! Fuck Jared! Yuh! Yuh yuh yuh yuh yuh yuh yuh!
[sung] I think about you every day / So why on earth can I be saved? / I think about him a lot as well / Maybe if he wasn't fine as hell
[spoken] Literally fuck Jared
[sung] 'Cause you're beauty / And you're grace / Your telephone calls are my favorite place / And I want you to notice me / With no restraining order, please / [spoken] JASON DERULO! / I want you to care
[He vocalizes the tune again with sounds like “ba ba da ba” etc]
[sung] I want to smell your hair
[He vocalizes the tune again with sounds like “ba ba da ba” etc. He ends the song with one final strum on his guitar.]
Wilbur (speaking): Thank you everyone for coming down! Thank you everyone for coming, I hope I’ve made your day just a little bit better, ‘cause you’ve made my life a whole lot better, uh. You’re all the best. Uh, I don’t know you, and I probably never will sadly, but I’m sure if I did get to know you, I’d think you were pretty swell. Uh, and we probably have very similar tastes in music and humor and everything. And so with that, I’m gonna say thank you for coming to my little mini gig, I’m gonna go have a shower *laughs* And um, thank you all. I love you all...non-parasocially. *laughs*

I saw that you like CATS the musical. What are your thoughts on the movie?
AAAAH AHHAHA oh man oh boy y'all should BUCKLE IN cuz it's a ride
my simple thoughts? it's entertaining if only because it butchered the stage show so badly in an attempt to idk modernize it? Well, modernization is one part of it I think. The other part I'll go into below lol. I don't necessarily hate some of the more modern renditions of the songs (mostly the ensemble sets like Jellicle Song for Jellicle Cats) but then others are just... so poorly done it's insulting.
I've said this at the end of this whole rant too but I'm gonna put it up here in case people don't (justifiably) wanna see me go on and on about it:
The movie wasn't made for fans of the musical. It was made to make money and I believe they choose, at least partially, to do that through making it the weirdest and worst possible adaptation they could so that people would want to go see the train wreck. Which, really, worked! It was all people could talk about for a good while so like... Goal achieved, I guess.
A MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS UNDER THE CUT cuz i don't wanna. flood your dash with... this
ALRIGHT SO. Most of my friends know I'm actually a huge fan of new adaptations of things. I love remakes (provided the people making it are coming at it with some form of heart and not just... cash grabbing which is more often the case) I love seeing other peoples interpretations of characters, or changing settings. It's one of the reasons I like American comics so much, getting to see different writers takes is fascinating.
I think musical movies can be wonderful ways to introduce people to a stage show that might have been unavailable to them otherwise! Chicago, for example, is one of the BEST musical to movie adaptations in my opinion. It kept the heart of the show, it's funny and the song numbers are done really well.
There are of course other famous examples, such as Grease or Bye Bye Birdie. Hairspray was also a wonderful take. These are simply off the top of my head, there are of course more.
CATS in particular has a history. If you go through my CATS tag you may see a few posts from @catsnonreplica which posts photos from non broadway productions of CATS! It's a fascinating read and I love, love, love looking at the other interpretations of the characters! CATS is a musical full of fun and wonderful characters if you take the time to see past the ridiculousness haha and the Korean and Japanese runs of CATS especially have some of my favourites.
How does this relate to the movie, I hear you say well. As you might has noticed the movie's interpretations of the characters is........ lackluster at best and downright uncanny valley at best.
CATS is, at its core, a ridiculous thing. I will fully admit that! But it's fun, it's entertaining and if you pay a little attention you can actually get the plot. (Honestly I don't understand when people complain it has no plot but that's a whole other rant for another day)
The movie was... obsessed with this idea of like... semi realism? Like obviously, as a fan, I think they should have leaned into the over the top character designs but instead we got...w ell:
Bombalurina:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Demeter left and Bomba right. Demeter was actually cut! From the movie which is. upsetting lmao.
Macavity is one of the worst offenders for me:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Macavity was... I wish I could know what the hell they were thinking there cuz it's even in his song? Ginger cat??? THAT IS NOT... A GINGER CAT...... but I digress. I would show more examples but I think you get the point.
So. We've butchered the characters appearances. Okay that's fine but what about their personalities?
ALSO BUTCHERED.
There's... there's a lot to unpack here. Just for context: the Jellicle Ball happens once a year and the Jellicle leader chooses a single cat to be reborn into a new life. In the stage play all the cats who are nominated for this honour are on the older side (Jenny-Any-Dots, Bustopher Jones, Skimbleshanks, Gus The Theatre Cat, and eventually Grizzabella) AND are always nominated by another cat. Not themself, unlike the movie where they all seem to nominate themselves.
Jenny-Any-Dots went from a doting grandmother figure who's celebrated for her selfless volunteering and tireless work into a conceited, vain younger cat who is obsessed with fame.
It's an incredibly strange dichotomy. I don't doubt some of it isn't the result of the uh people playing the characters honestly. I do think some of them did the best they could! I don't really blame Jason Derulo, for example, for Tugger. And honestly, Tugger was probably closest to his stage version (while being a trouble maker, he's shown to show Deuteronomy an immense amount of respect)
Speaking of Tugger! This will bring us to one of the biggest grievances with the movie and that is how they handled Mr Mistoffelees.
So... Ugh. So. We have Victoria as the pov character, which imo is like whatever in the grand scheme of things, and then we have Misto who they have decided will be get live interest cuz... Of course. Misto is shown throughout the musical to be awkward, unsure of himself and well. Really, kinda incompetent. Which is Wild cuz in the stage show he might be aloof but he's fairly confident in his powers.
So, Old Deuts gets kidnapped. In the stage show Tugger is the one to bring Misto forward! It's really quite sweet, imo, and I'm showing myself as a Tuggoffelees shipper here, but again Tugger is previously shown to be pretty conceited but then here he is boosting and hyping up Misto to bring Deuteronomy back. My friends and I have lovingly dubbed this the boyfriend hype song.
SOMEHOW. The movie manages to make this, easily, the MOST BORING number in the whole thing. Which, again, WILD. Misto awkwardly stumbles through his whole song, which again is... Boasting of his supreme magical powers which movie Misto clearly. Does not have or believe to have. The song, to me, feels super awkward and unnecessarily drawn out in the movie which sucks cuz it's one of my favourites in the show.
The declawing (heh) of Mr Mistoffelees actually reminds me strongly of how they changed Gaston in the live action Beauty and the Beast movie. He's gone from a beloved figure in the animated movie to someone so disliked in the town that Le Fou has to pay people off to say nice things about him. It's just. Wild character choices were made!!
Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat is probably my favourite in movie non ensemble number. It feels the most... Genuine? Compared to the other nomination songs.
Other problems include but are not limited to:
The inconsistent size scale of the CATS which throws me off constantly.
The weirdly overt sexual overtones added to MANY of the songs (Jenny and Bustopher being the worst)
This is just a personal gripe and opinion but I don't like that they used the UK version of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. The American version is both better known and tbh way more fun. Teazer's giggle? Adds ten years to my life every time.
Victoria's added solo song, Beautiful Ghosts, while I like the song as a song it doesn't fit the style of message of the musical. In the movie she's singing directly to Grizzabella who's being an outcast for years that she should be grateful she even has memories of being part of the tribe?? What?? But I know they had to add an original song to be able to be nominated for awards in like the Grammys n shit (which is why all musical movies will have an original song, fun fact!!) kinda funny they went to the effort though considering........... I don't think anyone could have genuinely believed CATS 2019 was gonna win anything but golden rhaspberries.
Movie Mr Mistoffelees has made repeated appearances as my sleep paralysis demon
The various cut characters, shout outs to Jemima, Demeter and Jellylorum especially
Bombalurina being a henchman to Macavity rubs me the wrong way
God I've written... So much. You probably get it by now haha. Like I said at the beginning, I try to go into any adaptation with an open mind but... Let's be honest, this movie wasn't marketed to people who are fans of the musical.
It was marketed, and made, to make money. And they choose to do that through, I think, intentionally making the worst possible version ever. Bad press is still press and the more outrageous people said the movie was the more people wanted to go see exactly what kind of train wreck it was.
Which is a disservice to the stage show, honestly, and all the people who've worked on it over the years.
But what can we do, right?
And besides all that, I do... Still own the movie version and I do still rewatch it on occasion. It is entertaining even if it's in a train wreck kind of way. I usually end up watching the 1998 version, then 2019 and then various tour runs that are on YouTube. (I highly recommend the 2016 tour, it's very good)
So in conclusion. It's fun (?) to watch. I enjoy picking things apart and doing analysis (if you couldn't tell!) so like... I don't hate it?
It did what it set out to do, I guess, and I can't fault it for that but. It's not a fair metre with which to judge the stage show imo. But I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, haha.
Jazz hands. I'm more than happy to elaborate or just chat about CATS if anyone wants! I grew up listening to the Broadway CD since I was a toddler so it's been! A very long standing obsession haha. Probably the only other thing on par with CATS is my obsession with Jurassic Park which I've also been a fan of since I was 3 (but that's a whole story in and of itself)

Cats 2019, but I try fixing the horrible script
Victoria in bag yeah whatever been there done that
Jellicles are and Jellicles do Je
Maybe the Jellicles introduce more of themselves and Misto's like "yeah that's my name lol but I'm also called Quaxo" segwaying into The Naming of Jellicles, OR cut out the song to make room for Pekes and Pollicles. Depends on how much runtime you're willing to have
Have Macavity watching but like not super obvious. He's watching from a distance instead of blatantly talking to Vic this time
Demeter can be worried about trusting Vic but if Munk trusts her then Dem trusts her
Misto's like "oh yeah almost time for the ball" Vic is like "wtf" and Munk explains and leads her to Jenny
NO EATING COCKROACHES
Tugger's still there, Jenny's like "how tf did you get inside my house. stop terrorizing the mice"
Tugger goes and does his song or whatever, Vic's expression is like "wtf is up with him" but Misto just shakes his head and calls him a bore
Tugger go "here Vic lemme show you how to have fun" and Vic lets herself go loose!! (and unfortunately joins Tug's fanclub)
Misto's like "UGH FUCK NO TUGGER NOT ANOTHER KIT (lovingly)" but everything's cancelled by Griz showing up
They do the Griz thing
Maybe Vic tries to touch Griz when Munk gently pulls Vic back, then she asks why Griz isn't cool anymore, but gets interrupted bc NO MORE "WENT WITH MACAVITY" HALF-ASSED EXPLANATION
A local building alarm goes off and Dem's like "MACAVITY" and Vic is like "WHO" and gets dragged off (spoiler alert it wasn't actually Macavity)
When they think they're a safe distance away they start Bustopher Jones but better
Maybe it could be like "ok we get you kits are scared but Jones is a respectful mature man he would take care of you" ((I oh-so desperately want Misto to excitedly agree bc uncle Bustopher hcs are the cutest))
LET MISTO FOLLOW THE MAN AROUND GODDAMMIT
When the rest of the cats are distracted Vic slinks off and meets Jerrie and Teazer. they cause chaos and honestly good on them
I like to think that, instead of the whole Vic getting stuck on bedpost thing, the twins try to bring her through the window but when they land they're caught and get reprimanded by Munk
Misto goes up to Vic like "that was fucking stupid of you now let's go meet ol doot"
Vic is like "uh okay (I've learned not to question things at this point)" and follows them, when she sees Deut she gets that fatherly vibe from him and starts to understand why they trust him
Deut goes "ohoho who do we have here" and when everyone excitedly introduces her he'd like,,, nuzzle her and go "welcome to the clan"
She's mystified and immediately trusts this man with her life cuz who wouldn't
Victoria watches Pekes and Pollicles performance bc it's a bop
Maybe bonding moment between Vic and Deut after the show where he's like "theyre a mess but they try and I love them for it"?
Tugger's like "DAADDDDD CAN WE START YET" and they start dancing,, Vic is all awed and then Deut goes "c'mon you're one of them now" and nudges her forward so she can join
It's a blast but in the middle of it Vic notices Griz in the background, so when everyone else goes to sleep she sneaks off Yet Again, this time Jemima following her cuz curious little kitten
They hear Griz sing and see her try to dance like the others, and they were gonna go invite her but then Deut taps em on the shoulder and says "we gotta wait for the others to accept her" except super vague. the kittens have no clue what he's on about but accepts it anyway cuz it's ol doot
I think keeping the choice be an audition sorta thing is fine, it kinda felt like that in the musical. just no more solos, no more solos ple
They're all just now waking up but Misto and Gus are Extra awake. like y'know when you go downstairs at like 7 am to get cereal, expecting no one else to be there but then There Is. they do that lil talk they do in the movie, dunno what I'd alter there quite just yet? Misto would be less outwardly anxious for sure though, gotta let the boy keep his calm
When it's like "ok who now losers" maybe Misto could start singing for Gus and hand it off to someone else after a line or two? then Gus gets his part and maybe we see some subtle character development coming out from Misto. show don't tell y'know that sorta thing
Gus is like "ok that's cool but I can think of another person to start singing now" and takes a seat when Munk gets the hint to start the next song
SKIMMMBLESHANKSSS THE RAIIILWAAAAY CATTTT THE C
The fake train they build gets fucking destroyed and it's bc MACAVITY
He runs around wreaking havoc, starts fighting with Munk but when Munk puts up a better fight than he expected he kidnaps Deut
Probably would've restrained Deut in some way before running around bc the guy could very easily beat him up
Anyways Macavity retreats and everyone's worried for Munk and Deut
Victoria's like "OH YEAH RIGHT WE HAVE MISTO" and he's like "????? you're asking me to teleport THE HOLY CHRIST HIMSELF??????" and starts mentally panicking
Tugger comes in like "oh but you OUGHT to ask mr mistoffelees the original conjuring cat there can be no dou
Bc he's hyped up Misto brings Deut back first try and gets more confidence in his abilities, we love a character arc
They go back to make the Jellicle Choice but then OH THERES GRIZABELLA and the clan is gonna kick her out but Victoria's like "no let her sing!!" but bc she's new no one cares but then JEMIMA goes "let her sing it's almost time!!! just this one bit plssss" and bc it's Jemima and they love Jemima they let Griz sing
Then she gets picked and cat god takes her away or whatever
Ol doot does the speech but like addressing the clan instead of breaking the 4th wall and then the movie ends and we DON'T have to deal with 10 minutes of end credits
✨ The end ✨
Extra notes / Things I'd change
Add in the bg interaction!!! That's what makes the 1998 version so fun, it allows the chorus cats to have so much personality despite only being bg characters
Pls for the love of all that is holy make the chorus cats more easy to distinguish and recognize, not only do they look different from the costumes of every other production Ever, they also all look the same as one another
If Misto still did that excited thing at the beginning of The Gumbie Cat I'd lose my marbles I think
Let Tugger interact with his dad more!!! Munk got so much interaction with Old Deut in the movie which I LOVED but Tugger got??? Nothing????? I get that Jason Derulo is expensive to keep on set but if you can put that much effort into that audio system you barely even used 4/5 of the functions of, you can spend a little on letting Tugger love his dad
We got so many Misto and Tugger interactions in the 2016 revival, is it too much to ask for that back... . ... .. ..
That's about it I think, I mostly made this for myself bc I've been thinking of making a fic based off this and wanted to give myself an outline :) I really like the idea of giving Victoria a story as to how she joined the jellicles but...... it was butchered so terribly..... .... .........
Anyways!! If you've got anything you wanna say or add on I'd love to hear it :DD (no pressure though ofc ^^)
