[real-reulbbr-band]

In my ideal scenario Grizabella, Jellylorum, and Jennyanydots were all quite close but natrually that wasn't the case near the time Griz was growing apart from the tribe and when Griz left, however when she comes back and finds out they're dating she isn't even a little surprised.

[jellicle-chants]

how about jenny/jelly for the bingo? :3

ah yes.... the wives

[jennyanypenny]

Hi hello!!! Jellylorum x Jennyanydots or Platoria for the ship game :)))

Jellydots :3 :

Domestic au… just em living together with the same owners. Jelly helps her the mice and cockroaches sometimes. Jenny acts like she doesn’t rlly need it (she does). Divorced but very close still!! Both are still single, because they are very busy ladies!! Very cute. The “no one gets them like I do” comes from the fact Jenny used to be my blorbo… I know her yk yk

Platoria:

They should eat each other :3. Im gonna be honest, I do not think of the sensuals during the ball as romantic.. I think it’s more about Victoria and whatever the Everlasting (or moon) is doing. But if im in the mood… literal soulmates. Made for each other actually.

i really love these two, they’re so cute together 🥺 jenny has also been such a strong support system for jelly, especially after jonathan died, and she’s always there if jelly needs anything (they’re basically married)

YOU KNOW IMMA ANSWER ALL OF THESE 😈

Rumplectra:

Can honestly say I've never heard of this ship, but it seems cute!

Jellydots:

I LOVE. I really should flesh out my hcs for these two - I just see them and like, they've been married for longer than I've been alive. No other hc crosses my mind. They're solid!

Skimblegus:

I love them and I love giving them angst. Once they get together they are inseparable and exist in their own little world.

Tuggerstrap:

One of my only real sticking hcs for Cats is that these two are brothers, so I don't ship them romantically at all 😅 That said, I'm always interested in hearing about other people's ships and hcs, especially if they're wildly different from my own!

Mistoria:

Again, I usually see them as brother and sister, except in the 2019 film! So I answered for that! The potential for angst there is so great, and they're super fun to think about! I feel like that would be such a wild ride.

Mungotoria:

I know this ship is your baby and I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts about it. This is actually a very fun ship! I have a different main Jerrie ship tho, which I currently have all-encompassing brainrot for.

Coricojerrie:

I love them so much and I love you for asking for them. They're JUST SO GOOD. They're both the perfect weirdo for each other and so devoted I sometimes cry 😭

[ratherchaseamouse]

jellydots and skimblegus!

(Jellydots left, skimblegus right)

Jellydots is one of those where it Makes Sense™️ and therefore I have no argument but also I don’t think about them a whole lot for whatever reason. They enable the worst of each other by which I mean they’re both neat freaks and neither of them are ever satisfied with the other’s cleaning job. Also to me they’re kind of a “best friends who live together and raise kids together and smooch sometimes” deal rather than full blown relationship

Skimblegus is in my top 3 I adore them. I want to type more but right now I don’t really have cohesive thoughts. Aaaaa

[junkyard-gifs]

He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake...

Like a snake??!? 😨

Jellydots Headcanons

we’re starting things off with jellydots because I don’t think I’ve made a proper post about them before? Which is a crime against humanity tbh so have a list of some headcanons about the cat wives.

🌻Before Jenny has to head off to her humans, she likes to leave Jellylorum a note around their den. Normally on a cushion or relatively easy to spot place. The notes are usually short and to the point, but always very sweet: "I may not see you everyday, but I love you everyday."

Jellylorum has kept every single note she's received from Jenny; she keeps them in an old needle box and on occasion, she'll re-read them. Particularly when Jenny's away for longer or sometimes with Jenny by her side. Her favorite one is the one Jenny made for her after a sleepover when they were kits. She drew a funny picture that was supposed to be the both of them but ended up looking scribblier than she liked.

🌻 Jelly *loves* spoiling Jenny whenever she can; she's a naturally crafty cat and tends to make little trinkets and decorations for Jenny when she finds the time to. They're usually knitted, but other times she likes to incorporate buttons and beads to make gifts. They usually ranged from collars made of beads to small knitted costumes for her very best mice.

🌻 Jenny finds comfort in resting her head on Jelly’s lap; it was a habit formed during their younger years. In those days, she would drift off effortlessly (typically on Jellylorum's back), and old habits would die hard. Jenny remains a deep and swift sleeper, a trait Jelly has grown accustomed to and doesn't mind one bit.

🌻 Jelly can’t hold a grudge for her life, so Jenny does for her, but only Grizabella gets to experience that. They were both hurt by her leaving, but it affected them very differently. Jenny grew resentful, and Jellylorum became more disappointed over time. It was a small point of tension between them, a topic they'd carefully avoided for the longest time. When they would address it, it was never to argue but more to mourn a longtime friend. They promised to never put each other through the same turmoil; after all, you only have so few lifelong friends. Jenny doesn't think Jelly would do anything of the sort and leave, but Jelly does worry sometimes that Jenny's visits to the junkyard will become more occasional with time.

🌻They've done the same Halloween costume for a couple of years now, not because they're uncreative but because the holiday genuinely slips their minds until it's a few days away. But they like to go as each other; Jelly puts on the Gumbie coat and Jenny wears the Griddlebone costume, and they have a laugh about it.

🌻Jenny and Jelly do like taking strolls outside the junkyard; normally, they'd go to the park if they wanted a quieter space to relax and have a chat. Other times, they'll sit in the town's library; it's not very busy, and they go relatively unnoticed by the head librarian, or else she'd pet them and let them be, which was always a treat for the both of them. 

🌻 When they were young, they would constantly talk about having a den together, where it would be (though Jelly would always insist she'd want to be close to her father's den), how they'd decorate it, and just how happy they'd be if they could have sleepovers all the time. Ironically enough, the possibility of them having mates they'd move in with never came up in these discussions. They'd always intend to live together regardless, which they didn't notice as a clear sign until they were already mates. 

🌻 Jelly does admire how Jenny communicates with other species; it fascinates her deeply how far she's come with that. She remembers when they were so small, and Jenny would insist she could understand the mice. Jelly gave her the benefit of the doubt, while most of the others would dismiss it immediately. But one thing about Jenny's was that she was determined, and Jellylorum was shocked but pleasantly surprised when Jenny seemed to have properly trained the pesky mice in her humans' kitchen. Jenny would sometimes get the mice to deliver things to Jellylorum for her. <3

🌻 They can’t keep secrets from each other to save their lives; everything Jenny knows, Jelly knows, and vice versa. Jelly tries whenever the kittens or adults open up to her, but when the subject is particularly heavy, Jellylorum really can't help herself. She will wait it out; however, she's in no rush to spill.

🌻 Jelly is very ticklish, particularly around her chin and neck (like most domestic cats), but only Jenny knows about that. She does like to lightly brush against those areas with her tail just so she can hear Jellylorum chuckle. She'd normally shake her head right after, followed by an "Oh you" comment. 

🌻 Jennyanydots takes great joy in complimenting Jellylorum, especially observing her reactions. She frequently expresses how pretty and beautiful Jellylorum is, delighting in the way Jellylorum smiles and raises her eyebrows in response. Occasionally, when Jellylorum appears genuinely surprised, she'll inquire further about the compliment, seeking reassurance, to which Jennyanydots consistently reaffirms Jellylorum's beauty without hesitation.

Evening Glow

An anonymous request this time, so I won’t tag anyone, but here be Jellydots. :) All my love to those who read/like/reblog! ♥

Warm evening sunlight hit Jennyanydots’ nose like an affectionate kiss and coloured her whiskers in a wispy honey tone when she left her junkyard den after darning the last sock in Mister Mistoffelees’ ever-growing collection.

She slow-blinked at Bombalurina and Cassandra as she passed them and they took the time to wave back, hunched over a list of some sorts as they were. Demeter dozed nearby, peaceful and undisturbed by the gaggle of kittens climbing onto her and pouncing on her spotted tail.

Jenny had spoken to her just recently, pleasantly surprised at the ease in her voice, the relaxed softness of her shoulders and the giddy spring in her tread when she returned to Bombalurina’s side afterwards.

Then again, it never took even the most hard-boiled strangers more than a week or two to lose the tension between their shoulder blades and eyes, and even less for them to dare and raise their voice, steps guarded and diction stilted, mind, but gaining confidence with every passing second, the songs of the Jellicles unburdening their hearts and relieving their fears of bodily contact and affection as easy as a kitten finding their mother through her purr alone.

Our cats, Old Deuteronomy said often, immeasurable pride in his voice. Jennyanydots would only smile and purr in response, warmth filling her chest until she was sure her pelt was glowing like Mistoffelees’ during his most daring performances.

Nonetheless, it was good to see her enjoy herself. Jenny nodded contently to herself and righted her flapper dress, untangling one of the tassels with the tip of a claw. Normally she wouldn’t dare to think of wearing it to venture into the depths of the city, lest it get dirty or torn, but today was a special occasion, and special occasions called for deviations every now and then.

As Bustopher always said; it was only healthy to break routine from time to time.

She left the junkyard, flitting through the legs of one of the smoking guardsmen standing at the gates. She heard nothing but a soft “Oh, it’s you” and a chuckle, then she was off.

Traffic at this time of day was, quite frankly, unbearable, but Jennyanydots swallowed her annoyance and waited patiently at the traffic lights, admiring their colourful lenses and wondering what they were for, only moving across the street when the humans did, cooing over her dress and reaching out to pet her. She pointedly ignored impatiently grasping hands, only allowing touch whenever a polite (and clean) hand was presented to her to sniff at first.

The number of pedestrians only multiplied the closer she got to her destination, making her lose sight of her way more than two times. She jumped up a fence, almost hissing when a surprised passer-by swatted at her with a newspaper.

“Terribly sorry,” he said, putting the newspaper away.

“Meeaurgh,” Jenny answered indignantly.

She did end up hissing at him when he had the audacity to try and pet her, balancing on the fence, a few tassels helplessly tangled from all the stir.

“Why, I ought to…” she grumbled as she turned a corner into a side street, hoping to find easy access to the roofs.

The baying of a courageous poodle grated on her very last nerve. She turned around to give him a severe scolding, when a scent wafted from the other side of the street, calming her fiery temper so quickly that she almost felt drowsy with it.

The poodle had stopped barking as soon as she had turned around and hid behind his human’s legs, who sighed as if this was a regular occurrence.

Jennyanydots honestly did not give an obscene word about the feelings of this meddlesome dog, instead crossing the street and burying her nose in the soft fur behind Jellylorum’s right ear faster than Jellylorum could say the abbreviation of her name.

“Being tardy is truly not your style,” Jellylorum commented drily, nuzzling the area of Jenny’s head that she could reach in their current position.

“Can you blame me, love? You know how seldom I leave the junkyard to visit other places than my humans’ humble abode, and everything until now has only served as a painful reminder of why I avoid the city centre.”

“There, there,” Jellylorum snickered, pulling back a little to groom Jennyanydots’ ear, “no need for dramatics, dearest. The world is big and improper, but that’s hardly news to us, is it now?”

She was joking, of course, and Jenny muffled a laugh in Jellylorum’s well-groomed fur and pulled her head back.

“You can say that again.” She turned around halfway to bare her teeth at the poodle again, just to make a point. She was almost impressed at how he managed to completely conceal himself behind his human, even though he was fairly big. Plato could learn from him, she thought.

“Well, no matter. I do hope you know a way to our destination far away from the streets? I just might end up losing my mind and scratch someone, and-”

“Certainly,” Jellylorum interrupted, her stuttery, throaty purr washing over Jenny like a calming wave, smoothing down her raised hackles and slowing down her agitated heartbeat. “Right up here, if you please.”

In no time at all, they were on the nearest garage roof, and Jennyanydots took the time to untangle her tassels anew. Jellylorum helped, pointing out and admiring the new shiny lace that adorned the hem of the dress. (Jenny had added it after she had tripped over a bunch of loose threads; the dress was getting a little old. But no-one needed to know that.)

On their way across the roofs of London they passed two or three sweepers hard at work, a dovecot and a very surprised and dusty little boy, who came flying out of one of the chimneys.

Jellylorum meowed at him to ask if he was alright when a little girl shot out of the very same chimney and almost landed on the two cats, small face covered in soot and hands reaching for the boy, who seemed to be her brother.

“Don’t be scared, Michael, everything will be alright,” she said comfortingly as her brother smeared damp soot from his face into his sleeve.

“Come, my dear,” Jellylorum said to Jenny, who looked concerned, certainly wanting to stay. “They seem to have it handled.”

True to her word, the chimney spat out two additional humans, clearly adults as seen by their size. The man even winked at them and doffed his cap.

“Oh,” Jenny said, relieved, “These two I remember! You’re right, Jelly dear, they will be just dandy.”

On and on they walked, balanced and climbed, and Jennyanydots relished in the exercise. Not that she got too little of it, training mice and cockroaches and, most recently, ants every night, but she hadn’t been up on the brim of London’s black, grimy top hat for far too long. How quiet it was up here, how endlessly the roofs stretched in all directions, how much the chimneys reminded her of dark forests from fairytale books.

“Here we are,” Jellylorum said at last, crawling up the last metres of the new theatre’s copper roof.

They sat on one of the wooden windowsills of the dome, snacking on the pastries that Jenny had stashed in the pockets of her dress (she would have to thank Peggy for this simple but ingenious design choice) and waited, comfortable silence surrounding them like a down quilt.

“A very good choice of day,” Jennyanydots remarked after a while, wrapping and unwrapping their tails, voice only interrupted by her impressively loud purr. “There will be no clouds tonight; we will certainly have a good view of the stars. If you don’t mind staying for a while longer, that is.”

“With the utmost pleasure,” Jellylorum answered, and the smile on her face was so fulfilled that Jenny couldn’t help but bury her face in her mate’s fur once more.

“Would you mind taking up a new habit?”

“You are speaking my mind, love.”

“Then it is decided,” Jellylorum said brightly, and pulled back just enough for her lips to meet Jenny’s in a kiss.

Behind them, a shower of fireworks lit up the night sky, and through the cheer of the humans on the streets sounded Jellylorum’s throaty, stuttery purr, in sync with Jenny’s soft titter, and they both glowed like Mister Mistoffelees’ pelt during his most daring performances, unable to tell if it came from the fireworks or if they had created it all by themselves.

"Peggy” originated here, in case my meta references are becoming too confusing. ;) This was calming to write, I do love myself an established relationship. Not much needs to be said, they can just... be. :) And I always challenge myself to write as proper and old-fashioned as possible for the oldies group jsfksdf it’s a lot of fun! Thank you for reading! ♥
