Since there's a bit of Benjay in your au, what does Jay think of Bens beast form?

He’s not really scared of it like others since he’s seen Mals Dragon form which is bigger.

Jay likes it actually, it’s very interesting to him how such a sweet docile man could turn into a giant angry beast or how he could hold so much anger in him. I mean he still has to be cautious look at the damn thing:

He’s literally huge, even his tail could flatten someone. He has a huge taste for peanut butter and jelly in this form and when he was younger the servants would make a huge stack of them. Depending on the situation the way he changes differs. If he’s super happy he’ll just poof in cloud of smoke and plop down. (Think turning red) If he’s angry he’ll do a American werewolf in London type situation and and it’s literally so scary. Not as scary as the original Beast Ben omg he looks like a jelicle cat (iykyk)

There was a bit of scare there freshman year when Ben turned and had red stuff all over his face but it was literally just cherry and strawberry jam that he got into and made a mess. Jay literally almost had a heart attack

I figured I should post the director's note from Cats: The Jellicle Ball. So here it is:

From the Co-Directors:

Welcome to the culminating production of PAC NYC's Inaugural Season!

With its glorious and beloved score, Cats is in its essence the story of a competitive ball, a ball in which the ultimate prize goes to the unlikeliest but most deserving competitor.

T. S. Eliot's language, often playful, is also full of shadows: the bittersweet longing for lost youth and beauty; the wisdom of elders passing the baton across generations; and the spiritual depth in knowing that, even though we are alone in our mortality, it is ultimately our communities that save us.

The idea for this production was born when we began to think about Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic musical with T.S. Eliot's words through a queer lens.

The global phenomenon called Ballroom was created by Black and Brown communities here in New York City over 50 years ago, growing out of even older traditions of Harlem drag pageants. A safe haven for gay men and transgender women, the gender-fluid Ballroom community is often organized into "houses" in which "house mothers" and "house fathers" mentor their "children" to stylishly walk and dance on the runway (the "catwalk") in specific competitive categories. In the context of our production, "cat" is slang for any queer person or ally who is part of the Ballroom scene.

Both Cats and Ballroom celebrate transformation and self-acceptance, the power of choosing one's own name. And both this musical and the Ballroom scene remind us how essential it is that we respect the names—and the identities—that people choose for themselves. After all, all of us cats have nine lives...

There are so many generous and gifted Ballroom and musical theater artists who have given of their time and talent through multiple workshops to make this production a reality, including our extraordinary creative team and the musical theater titans and Ballroom icons who are part of today's performance. Our profound thanks to all of you. We also cannot overstate our gratitude to Andrew Lloyd Webber and his colleagues at The Really Useful Group for their bold leap of faith and their thoughtful collaboration throughout our production's journey.

On behalf of all of us who have worked on Cats: "The Jelicle Ball," we are so happy that you have come the ball!

-Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch

More. Info about my cats oc shellosm.!.

She. Still wears her collar despite being abandoned because she still loves her family.

Scars. Come from a fox attack.!.

She. Tries to be patient and gentle but very much has a judgemental side though she tries to hide it.

Can. Usually geuss the jelicle ball will go sideways each year but still has to holdback from laughing when it does.

I've gotten back into neopets, here is my cast.

Mango Jeremy (because mungojerrie was fucking TAKEN, bitches...) First created pet. He's holding random shit right now because quests are a thing and I'm in constant need of money. (I buy everything ever)

Adopted from the pound as a red tuskaninny, accidentally turned into a pirate eyrie, kolokithix, who i just... shorten the name to Kolo. How does one accidentally turn a fucking tuskaninny into a pirate!??!?!? WELL LET ME TELL YOU I MEANT TO TURN...

THIS GUY ^^ INTO A PIRATE! But my aim is shit (i need glasses) Also a pound rescue. His name is Forever62309 and I really wish we could rename neopets because for gods sake that's so fucking usernamey. I'd name him like an offbrand jelicle cat, just like Mango Jeremy. Maybe something like... uhhh RumpinTumpin or something.

It has been a long bit since I have written anything and posted it but here we are. As part of @storyweaverofgondor's Cats-Pril event.

This takes place after the Ball and features Munkustrap and Mistoffelees. Tuggoffelees is mentioned but not important.

No Warnings needed

Have not decided if this will be posted on ao3.

The energy from the night’s ball had finally ended. Everyone was headed back to their dens, their mind, and body finally succumbing to sleepiness. 

Everyone but Munkustrap who sat high on the tire watching as the Jelicles cleared out of the main part of the Yard. 

He knew, in his mind, that he should be in his den with Demeter and Jem relaxing. But his body was still tight with anxiety as he thought about Macavity showing his face and his mother going to the Heavyside Layer. It was still fresh in his mind.

‘Just a little longer. Then I’ll go to the den.’ He thought to himself.

Just as he finished his thought, he heard a soft and familiar voice. 

“You know, I thought you’d be gone by now.”

He chuckled. “I could same the same about you Mistoffelees.”

The younger tom took his seat next to the Jellicle Protector. 

“I’d like to think you’d be with Tugger. Afterall. You must be tired after using all that magic.” His tone was light though Mistoffelees could hear how tired their Protector actually was.

“I am. But then I saw you here. By yourself. I mean you must also be tired from the fight with Macavity.”

He seemed embarrassed. The complete opposite of the confident cat Munkustrap saw at the Ball today.

Munkustrap grinned. “Tired doesn't even cover it. Then again. Your little show with my brother made it all better.”

The other tom suddenly found the ground more interesting. “Tugger does have a way to make one feel…” he paused, “special.”

“He does. Though I think that only applies to you.” He replied. “I don’t think that’s the reason you are here talking to me. Isn’t it?”

Mistoffelees huffed and rolled his eyes, “You're right. Demeter saw Tugger and I on our way to one of our dens and asked Tugger to make sure you got some sleep. I volunteered instead.”

“Thank you Mistoffelees. I appreciate your concern.”

Mistoffelees stood up, “Does that still mean I’ll have to force you to get down from the tire?”

Munkustrap laughed, “No. No. I’ll follow you down.”

And so Munkustrap finally gave into what his body needed.

Was his mind still filled with all  the panic the Jellicle Ball had given to the Jellicle Protector? Yes. 

But his mind was also filled with the love and peace his family provided.

I think I need more Catnip…

All I can say is… When your stage name has cat in it, you are allowed and for some uncomfortable reason this feels VERY high fashion to me. #DojaCat

However, this is lazy, creepy and worse than that film adaptation…Leto should be very jelicle of doja’s grace. Can you please pass the ‘nip i am gonna need to drown in it.

One Piece Characters As Broadway Songs/Musicals

This is my first time ever posting any sort of headcanon or piece of fic. All chracters belong to Echiro Oda Sensei, and all muscials to their respective creators. I'm sure I missed some great oppertunities, or didn't think of something...but....this is what I have right now.

Luffy - Honestly? Okay, I feel as if "Fight the Dragons" also captures him pretty well. "Giants In The Sky" from "Into The Woods."

Zoro - "My Shot" from "Hamilton?" No, before anyone comments, I'm not putting "Anybody Have a Map" from "Dear Evan Hansen."

Nami - "I'd Rather Be Me" from "Meangirls." "Money Money Money" by ABBA/from "Mama Mia!." "Six" the Musical for some reason also. For some reason, the way I'm thinking of her right now, is the moment she joins Luffy's crew after the Strawhats deeat Arlong.

Sanji - "Shiksa Godess" from "The Last Five Years." This one ESPECAILLY screams Taz Skylar's Sanji to me. Or "Come Home WIth Me" from "Hadestown." Not in a mocking way, but a sweet way, beucase that song is so sweet beucase Orpheus is so lovestruck and oblivious. "Helpless" from "Hamilton." "Hurricane" from "Hamilton." Also, I have a headcanon that once Sanji meets and falls in love with THE ONE, his flirting with other women would stop. He'd still be a gentelmen, but once he meets the true love of his life, he's devoted and locked.

Usopp - "Big Fish." Oh man. Usopp is a storyteller that loves to stretch the truth. Just like Edward Bloom. "Be the Hero" and "Fight the Dragon" capture him perfectly. I also really think that he'd like listening to "Six" and "Mean Girls" with Nami.

Chopper - "Girl Scout" from "Beetlejuice." The tone of this song. The fact that he's scared easily, and his carefree, innocent, naive nature, all sort of remind me of this song. I love Chopper.

Robin - "Monster" from "Frozen." "All I've Ever Known" from "Hadestown." "My Days" from "The Notebook."

Brook - MAYBE "Memory" from "Cats." So, I feel like this can work for Brook and Robin. But in the musical, Grizzabella used to be a Jelicle cat, and no longer is. She longs for that again. She's hurt and lonely, and rejected. Brook used to be a part of a crew. His crew died....he is alone. He is lonely. After 80 years, he gets the chance to not be alone anymore.

Franky - "Guns and Ships" from "Hamilton?"

*I didn't want to do Jinbae yet beucase I've met him, but I haven't spent a ton of time with him yet. I'm in Fishan Island Arc. I don't feel confident with how well I know his character yet.*

[thatcjacket]

i love him so much his design and costume makes me so happy 

[kkshowtunes]

This is my cats oc! He is a street vendor's cat by day, and works under Macavity secretly. He has the power to create light from his paws.

What should his name be?

[misaki-toko]

This is a report on Cats by Shiki Theater Company, which was performed in Nagoya on April 28, 2024.

At Shiki Theater Company's Cats performances, Tugger always performs some kind of performance after the performance, and then concludes with a performance. The performance is different every time, which is part of the fun of watching Cats.

On this day, Tugger, played by Masaru Kitamura, was performing as usual, when a little girl sitting somewhere yelled, "Mommy!! That person is so cool!!"

To my surprise, Tugger was taken aback for a moment before he hid his face in one hand and smiled shyly.

And he was surrounded by warm applause from the theater audience.

The number of people who were captivated by Tugger, played by Kitamura, must have increased that day. I'm one of them.
