[yamayuandadu]

Which authors and books do you recommend for those starting studies in Japanese topics? I know Faure and I already have his books. Is Mark Teeuwen a reliable author? Thanks in advance.

Teeuwen isn't just reliable, he is arguably the single best author to start with when it comes to history of religion(s) - and secularism too, for that matter - in Japan. His focus is somewhat more narrow than Faure's - as you'll quickly notice after looking through his works, he writes on Ise a lot of the time - but I'd still recommend reading some of his books and articles even if that doesn't interest you. That's because he talks a lot about current trends in scholarship, necessary changes in methodology, etc. and it will help you with picking other sources and evaluating what you already know in new light.

Since you're already familiar with Faure I won't say much about him, but I also can't recommend him enough. He's not as focused on specific topics as Teeuwen, and I think he's sort of prone to rambling every now and then, but he is still one of the best in the field imo. Gods of Medieval Japan is in all due likeness going to be an invaluable resource for decades to come.

Assuming you're only looking for sources in English, some other authors I would recommend are, in no particular order, Haruko Wakabayashi, Nobumi Iyanaga, Fabio Rambelli, Sujung Kim, Noriko Reider and Hiroo Sato.

what would you trade the pain for? — TIMELINE

what would you trade the pain for? is supposed to mainly take place about 6 years before the events of Disco Elysium, when Dora packs her things and leaves Revachol and Harry behind, before he and Jean became partners in the RCM, and when he and Vincent officially meet.

the canon is extensive and might be chopped up into multiple fics rather than just under the what would you trade the pain for? (WYTPF ????) umbrella. im not really sure yet!

[skittish-demeter]

This man was wonderful when he made love to me...

... but I hated him.

[real-reulbbr-band]

demeter for the ask game

Oh my god one of my favs thank you!!!

Why I like them

Her backstory and lore, and the fact Glamour Cat is one of my favorite songs in the show.

Why I don’t

nothing about her bothers me that much that it would make me dislike her.

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

My favorite scene is of course the start of Macavity when she’s describing him and dancing

Favorite season/movie

I like Kim Faure Demeter a lot so the 2016 revival

Favorite line

“He’s outwardly respectable” or “Until the Jellicle moon appears”

Favorite outfit

I like it a normal amount…

OTP

Alonzo, purely because I feel she has more agency in her staging with him If that makes sense. Ever since this one post pointed something out I can’t ship her alternate popular ships that much.

Brotp

I’m gonna be different and say Mungojerrie, because it’s platonic opposites attract, from what I’ve seen they have a very fun dynamic that I would love to see played up more if possible.

Head Canon

She goes on early morning walks, it’s normally when the junkyard is the most quiet and she can see the sun just as it’s about to rise. She never did get to go outside much when she was with Macavity nonetheless during daytime so just getting to pace around the outdoors really brings her peace and joy.

Unpopular opinion

I think they can go a little further with her? Like more paranoid and unhinged. Like I think it would be interesting if some of the jellicles doubted when she screams “Macavity” since it’s been false alarms for most of the night. I think it’ll make Macavity’s eventual reveal and the toll it takes on Demeter more impactful.

A wish

probably just to live the rest of her life in peace, she’s been through so much already that living a “boring” life would be a privilege in and of itself

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

Macavity successfully capturing herself or Jemima is probably her nightmare scenario. But I think the worst thing that could happen to her did happen to her already when Macavity tried to kidnap her and ended up hurting the community and cats she loves most.

5 6 words to best describe them

Her descriptions already do that so: Skittish, Cautious, Paranoid, Nervous, Sensual, Secretive

My nickname for them

I don’t have one- but I love her

Thank you for the ask ❤️

[junkyard-gifs]

Psst, want some Tugger being soft with Victoria and Demeter?

C'mere... come and look at Victoria running straight over to him when it's time to build the train, instead of running to get her piston thing... and then Demeter running to join them...

She pet his ears! He and Deme do a nose-rub! and on another night, look: they play with his knees!

But now to business. Deme and Vic grab their piston thing and they build a train. (Munk, u ok? you look like I badly photoshopped you in from a photo. Your wheel's stopped, buddy...)

No, no, Munk's come back to life: it's time to FALL APART! Victoria carefully stashes the piston, then falls over dramatically. As does Munkustrap. The wheel has defeated him.

But hold on, what exactly did Victoria do with the piston...?

Why, she gave the end to Tugger to hold on to, of course! And then he handed it back to the girls for safe stowage.

Broadway revival, on three different nights in 2016: July 22 (gifs 3&5), October 30 (gif 4), and December 22 (the first and last two gifs).

Georgina Pazcoguin is Victoria in all cases. Kim Fauré is Demeter in July and December, and Madison Mitchell is Demeter in October. Tyler Hanes is Tugger in July and October, and Harris Milgrim is Tugger in December.

Cast Interviews From 1986 vs. 2016

So, I’ve found a podcast that’s been interviewing various Cats cast members and superfans. Most of the interviews come from the cast of the Broadway Revival, but there are also several interviews from US Tour III which went from 1986 to 1988. So we’ve got a bit of both old and new. Here’s what I’ve learned about how things have changed over the years and why the Broadway Revival is such a confused mess:

In the interviews of US Tour III cast members, it seemed like everyone was told the story of the play and had a pretty clear idea of what was going on. Some actors were given backstories for their characters, but the amount of detail varied. Actors cast as Munkustrap and Tugger were told that their characters were brothers and the sons of Old Deuteronomy. Actors cast as Demeter were given a full backstory for the character. However, Grizabella’s story remained vague. Bombalurina, Mistoffelees, and Sillabub also had no confirmed backstories, and most of their characters were improvised during rehearsals. Also, since this tour was from 1986-1988, a lot of cast members don’t remember a lot of what they were told. It’s been a while.

Out of the backstory and character information provided, Demeter’s was the most consistent. She was kidnapped by Macavity, escaping shortly before the events of the play. She’s an outsider to the tribe, but she knows Bombalurina and stays close to her. Bombalurina also had some experience with Macavity, but she enjoyed it more than Demeter did. This lines up with what Jacob Brent said about Demeter in the 1998 version.

Some character dynamics are different from more modern versions. Alonzo is Demeter’s love interest, as was typical with Broadway-based productions. Also, in most productions, Alonzo doesn’t get along with Tugger, but he’s a fan of him in this version.

Outside of Alonzo, it was made perfectly clear that Mistoffelees was played as a full adult, the same age as Munkustrap. The actor who played him throughout the tour, Randy Slovacek seemed to have made up most of Misto’s characterization in that production by himself. Misto was friends with Grizabella in the past and wasn’t upset by whatever she did to upset the others. When she first appears, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, taking the place of Coricopat and Tantomile, who were cut for the tour, run up to her and try to chase her away. Misto calls them off, but Munkustrap won’t let him do anything else to help her and he respects his authority too much to try anything.

The interviews of the Broadway Revival cast tell a very different story of what was going on behind the scenes. Apparently, they were rushed for time and there weren’t as many rehearsals before the show as there usually are. That, combined with the new choreography meant that nobody really knew what they were doing. Munkustrap and Tugger were confirmed to be siblings, but very little backstory information was given outside of that. The few cast members who worked with Gillian Lynne seemed to have a better idea of what was going on with their characters. Andy Blankenbuehler was still figuring things out and wasn’t able to offer similar clarity. The few times anyone was told anything, it was usually by Trevor Nunn.

Basically, Nunn and Lynne invented Cats, and nobody else seems to know how the fuck any of it works.

Tyler Hanes and Sara Jean Ford knew each other before being cast and they came up with a lot of backstory for their characters, which everyone else got drawn into. Ford played Jellylorum as the same age as Tugger. Since the actors are best friends, so are the characters, even though that makes little sense with their personalities. Jennyanydots, Bombalurina, Demeter, and Grizabella were in that same age range as well. It appears that nobody was anywhere between Munkustrap and Old Deuteronomy in age, for some reason. Jenny and Skimble are a couple in this version, so Skimble’s probably also in this group. They have kittens together. Electra and Rumpleteazer are among them, though nothing was said about Mungojerrie. The merge with Coricopat and Tantomile in the US Tour implies that they’re twins in that version. In the Broadway Revival and the tour based on it, they’re apparently unrelated.

Grizabella ended up with a far more detailed backstory, all made up by the cast. She’s Jellylorum’s sister and she stole a man away from her and Jelly never loved again. None of the kittens are Jelly’s, though she’s sort of the nanny to all of them. Griz also had some sort of affair with Tugger and broke his heart, which is why he doesn’t do commitment. Then, Griz ran off with Macavity, got dumped for Bombalurina, and then she got dumped for Demeter who decided that Macavity was bad news pretty early on and ditched him. The relationship was abusive, but no one mentioned a kidnapping. After leaving Macavity, Griz was no longer welcome in the tribe, even though Bomba and Demeter were because Reasons. Forgetting that these characters are not human, she then got addicted to drugs, was driven to prostitution to support her drug habit, had a bunch of kids, and then left those kids to be raised by Jenny, who resents her for it. Nobody says which kittens are Grizabella’s. Portions of this backstory were used in the 2019 movie.

Also, I can say that some of the characterization issues with Tugger were, in fact, a direct result of the choreography changes. Tyler Hanes wanted to play up the sexuality of the character in a way that the new choreography didn’t allow. If Gillian Lynne’s choreography had been used for the number, Tugger’s characterization probably would’ve turned out very different, but the changes meant that what Hanes knew about the character, and how the audience perceived the character, were altered by the new choreography putting emphasis on vanity instead of sexuality.

So, that’s the story so far. Compared to at least one early production, the Broadway Revival was rushed and poorly thought out. The actors were given little information and left to fend for themselves, and they prioritized their bonds with their irl friends over what made sense for their characters. Interviews of cast members from both the revival and the following tour reference Andy Blankenbuehler as the one who had all the information, who the cast looked to for instructions. But, he had no idea what he was doing and couldn’t really help them.

Most of the problems can be traced to Blankenbuehler not knowing what he was doing and never really figuring it out. Though, some blame has to be placed on the cast who, left to their own devices, had a lot of bad ideas. Hanes and Ford in particular, though it was good that someone was trying to take charge, created a bit of a mess. None of Jellylorum’s character resembles any other Jellylorum characterization I’ve ever seen, and it doesn’t even come across clearly on stage. The young cast all seemed to struggle with the idea of playing older characters and nobody told them that they couldn’t age them down. The generation gap between Tugger and Jenny and Jelly is character information that’s now completely lost on the audience. You need older characters disapproving of Tugger to show that he’s a controversial figure to the tribe, not just an annoyance to Munkustrap.

But, some of the worst characterization problems were not entirely the fault of the cast. As I mentioned before, Tugger’s characterization was changed by the choreography. Grizabella had already been aged down by her redesign. Since Demeter’s kidnapping backstory wasn’t explained, this affected how Demeter was portrayed. Her sympathy for Grizabella came from having been on that side of town as Macavity’s prisoner and seeing the condition she was in. Without that backstory, Kim Faure may have not known that Demeter was supposed to have sympathy for Grizabella and interpreted her part differently. This was the result of unclear direction.

What We’ve Learned Today:

1. In the 1980s, Mistoffelees was, in fact, played as older than Jacob Brent played him in the VHS.

2. Munkustrap and Tugger (and not Mistoffelees) have pretty much always been the sons of Old Deuteronomy.

3. The backstory Jacob Brent gave for Demeter was the standard backstory for the character well before the VHS was filmed.

4. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were considered twins in the 1980s and most likely continued to be seen as such until the revival era, though I haven’t exactly checked in with every single production.

5. The Broadway Revival was a behind the scenes and nightmare and it’s mostly Blankenbuehler’s fault.

6. Gillian Lynne wrote Cats. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a concept album.

7. There are no middle-aged cats in the 2016 revival. I think Sara Jean Ford started it.

8. The idea that Grizabella’s backstory involved Macavity started with the 2016 cast improvising.

9. Kim Faure’s Demeter was most likely OOC due to a removal or lack of explanation of backstory.

10. Sometimes it’s okay to do things the same way they’ve been done before.
