#misto calls tugger baby girl

[soul-eclectic]

i dont think its magic silencing him guys

[ambyandony]

i also love the Rum Tum Tugger - Mr Mistoffelees dynamic yes i do ship them they have a good dynamic and good chemistry

"jellicle cats come out tonight" u first mistoffelees

one of my favourite parts is how in the last bit of The Rum Tum Tugger when the girls are squealing over tugger, if you look in the background u can see Mistoffelees on the pipe on the left side and if you watch his reactions it's just so KLNCFLNVNS there's so much tension at first he's shaking his head disapprovingly but then if you look at the second bit he's making little hand-wavy motions (kinda like how the girls are) like he's trying so hard to control himself. and then at the last note tugger holds you can see him sort of take a deep breath and look bewildered

hes like "tch.." and then he's like "oh..." and then he's like: Oh.

(THE ITALICISED OH)

and then you get this

its giving "…am i interruptin somethin 🤨 " "UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

literally the funniest screencap of the whole musical i think especially bc not only does mistoff make this startled expression as if he's been caught doing something he's not supposed to be doing (despite literally just vibing (he has anxiety)) he also completely freezes up and the other cat (not sure who) just lets go of his hand and continues on like nothing happened KLDVNFKLDNVDKLNVKLSFNL

ALSO SOMETHING THAT MAKES THE MISTOFFELEES TUGGER DYNAMIC SO SO GOOD TO ME IS HOW MISTOFFELEES LIKE. he embarrasses himself at the start of the old gumbie cat and is visibly distressed and the kittens make fun of him for it. but he opens the trunk with his magic anyways and then like hides behind it

and hes directly said to at least appear shy and i definitely get a meek read on him. this boy is the shyest drama queen this side of the heaviside layer. he loves to perform and then any time he's not performing he's self-conscious and nervous,,,

and rum tum tugger sings an ENTIRE HYPE SONG FOR HIM

the "please listen to me... and dont scoff" at the start i might mention, 'dont scoff at my boyfriend he is very sensitive and i will kill you dead'

also in Magical Mr. Mistoffelees, rum tum tugger says "i've known the family to call him in from the garden for hours / when he was asleep in the hall " so like are they living in the same house with the same family or does tugger just frequently break in because the latter is my personal belief and way funnier

he makes this motion like cmon baby during the line and mistoffelees is like . hang on why were you at my house for hours ?

(mistoffelees vc) "why, just the other day, i had to help rum tum tugger out of a bedroom drawer, but im not terribly sure why he was in the house to begin with" rum tum tugger (famously prone to getting stuck in drawers): 😎

tugger is basically flirting with mistoffelees the entire song NEVERMIND the lyrics but the way he moves towards him and the way he articulates when interacting with mistoff,,,

gives him a little look like 'are you sure you're confident in my abilities' 'OBVIOUSLY????'

look dad thats my boyfriend. yeah he appearified you out of nowhere. yeah he does that a lot.

also on the subject of Magical Mr Mistoffelees its SO funny the way Mistoff acts he seems very surprised by his own capabilities / unsure of his own power so of course he just starts blowing shit up

Rum Tum Tugger: hey everyone have you heard of Mister Mistoffelees. hes fucking incredible. super talented. smart. bit cute Mr. Mistoffelees: so anyways, i started blasting

i also love Tugger getting really close to Misto and then backing off, I imagine because he snaps out of it last second and remembers that misto has been going around blowing shit up for the past 3 minutes so maybe he should give him a little space "i know he can do incredible shit. im not really sure what all he could do, however i am aware that he could set me on fire or blow my dick off, which is something id like to avoid, yknow i kinda value having that so ill just uh, stand over here for a bit"

anyways, i think theyre very cute

part 2 ♡

i have so much to share about the jellicle ball – instead of victoria and jem opening with deut , it was rump and cassandra . cass was a really good dancer though , so idc . the part that stuck out most to me was what i think was intended to be the mating dance ? at first , there were four pairings on stage w tugger and i’m pretty sure deut too watching from higher up . the main pairings were bomba and misto , and mungo and rump . i’m pretty sure jem and munk were in the back , and i don’t remember the other pairing . i wanna say alonzo and quaxo bc they were together a lot on stage , but i don’t remember . i didn’t even notice the two pairings in the back tbh when i first went bc the lights were only on bomba , misto , mungo , and rump . it was rlly pretty , i love ballet . there was no platoria esc pas de deux . i’m pretty sure they tried to combine it with vic’s solo having munk come in toward the end and finish in the same pose as platoria’s pas . there was a dance with all the queens ( excluding vic for some reason ) led by cass i liked . she and vic were my favs in terms of dance . i enjoyed gus’ song . jelly sounded like a baby bonnie simmons . gus was a good actor . the only other gus i’m used to is john mills , so it was refreshing in a way to watch a comical take on the whole song . i feel like it’s canon alonzo and quaxo are kittens here bc they were sitting with vic and got offended with her when it got to the kittens training line . i thought they were gonna do growltiger’s song for a moment bc they continued with the opening of that song , but swapped growl for rumpus cat . instead of gus saying he could do it again , it was deut encouraging him which i thought was sweet . i was kinda confused watching pekes and the pollicles . they said asparagus is young gus , but asparagus has been here the whole show as his own character ?? they just used the instrumentals from growl's song and the lyrics to patp . i thought it was weird at first , but i liked it the second time . if i had to sum it up short , it was a quartet between gus , deut , munk , and either young asparagus or rumpus . my mind blanks at certain parts because i was so excited watching . the guy playing skimbleshanks has an amazing voice . the only standout detail that comes to mind was tuggerlurina watching together in the corner . it was kinda weird ( in a good way ofc ) the first time because they were literally feet away from me on stage watching . i loved this version of macavity's song . just a bunch of girls slaying and dancing . edit - macavity wore aviators . i saw a post about santiago tugger wearing them after making this , and thought i should include . i loved this misto and everything abt this prod as you can tell . they gave him a top hat for his song ?? my favorite parts were bg moments . the cast never stopped even when the focus wasn’t on them . misto did a trick where you flick a wand and a bouquet comes out . i don’t remember who he threw the bouquet to first , but both shows vic took it and squealed . mistoria rights . idk what the exact trick is called , but misto spent a moment taunting rump w a piece of yarn which i thought was cute . he was more acrobat than ballet . he didn't do the conjuring turns , but he did cartwheel . they actually did the stairlift to the heaviside layer ?? i genuinely wasn’t expecting that because of funds and it just looked too impressive for a regional prod . i'm scared to show any pics from the show bc there was like a two minute talk before abt how we’re not allowed to record and allat unless we wanna be kicked out . idk if the rule extends to outside of the theater a month after the show w copyright , but i don’t wanna test or doxx myself ! i'm pretty sure munk waved at me during curtain call the second time i went , which was cool , so i'm including it >:) moral of the story , you should see regional cats .

the production of cats you saw sounds really cool, can you say more about it it sounds like it was awesome!!

i have to do this in parts and w acronyms bc my thoughts are too long for tumblr to comprehend in one post lmao gladly ! there’s a lot that happened that i love to share , so i’m gonna start at the beginning of the show . this was my favorite ver of the naming of cats EVER . i was in the front row both times i went , so the cats were literally inches away from me whenever they were off stage . the first time i went , alonzo crawled across the aisle and basically sat in front of my mom and i till the song ended . the second time mungo was literally a foot away from me . basically inches because he was reaching his hand out , staring into my soul the entire time . i’m not even exaggerating . like i said in my response to your post , there weren’t many changes to my surprise . they did extend jenny’s song to give her a tap solo . if i remember correctly , i think a few other cats joined in . my brain couldn’t compute at first that it was jelly , dem and bomba singing together at the beginning when i first went because dem was still yellow and bomba was red , but jelly was blue . i'm not gonna complain tho , since i don’t really mind it and i got a pic w jelly in costume after the show , she was nice <3 i'm kinda scared to talk about tugger’s song publicly bc it was wild . i thought the guy playing tugger was great ( i got a pic w him too :D ) , he even sounded like john partridge at some points , but the choreo was definitely a choice . i loved the tuggerlurinaness though . i'm insane about them , ask any of my friends and they can tell you personally how annoying i am about them . my favorite part was when she was clinging to him while he was walking across the stage . 9/10 , i was genuinely scared for his song going in the first time . i talked about it here , but tugger doesn’t inherently reject bomba , which gives me all the confirmation i need that tuggerlurina's canon 😇 the griz they casted has one of the best voice i've ever heard , i don’t even know how to elaborate . i almost started crying when she sang the memory reprise at the second performance . continuing in order , i really liked this ver of griz's song . only thing i didn’t like was there was a lot of giggling . i feel like the exaggerated giggles only work for mungo and rump , not dem and bomba . OH MY GOD THIS MUNGOJERRIE AND RUMPLETEAZER WERE PERFECT . i had a love / hate relationship with mungo and rump , especially rump . but this ver reminded me why i loved her initially . they were funny , had great voices , and just worked so well together . old deut came out through the audience for his song . idk if he does that in official productions , but he did here . i sat on the very edge of the right side the first time i went and literally front row center the second time . he came down through the left aisle , so i didn’t really get to process his entrance because he was all the way on the other side . either way , cute detail . my mom and i have an inside joke abt deut , so i was kinda pointing at her during the song . i think the actor noticed , which was cool .

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

1,4,6,8,9,12,15, and 16 , for jellicle asks, please.

Favorite swing(s)?

gonna be biased and say my beloved baby girl Olivia is my favorite <3 like not even because she's my costume claim for Hestia, but she's just SO pretty and her costume is absolutely stunning!!

like she is SO pretty, that's my girl!!!!

also garbo and isis my beloveds <333333333

Favorite non-replica costume?

probably either Kilworth!Tugger:

Opera Populaire!Mx. Mistoffelees:

or honestly ANY of the gothenburg/stockholm costumes!!!

Bomba (left) is SO pretty, and i just... Tumble's costume is probably my absolute favorite of that production, i love the blue, and the way the fur is arranged!

Favorite platonic headcanon?

MISTO AND CASSANDRA BEING PLATONIC SOULMATES IT'S MY FAVORITE HC THEY'RE BEST FRIENDS YOUR HONOR

Also Bomba being very much a maternal figure for Etcetera!!!

Favorite makeup design?

Tugger's will always be my absolute favorite makeup design! I also ofc adore Tumblebrutus', and Bombalurina's makeup!

Baby Griz's makeup is also severely underrated!!!!

Favorite song?

Either "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats" or "Rum Tum Tugger"!

Popular character headcanon you dislike?

uhhhhhhhhh honestly idk? the only one i can think of is specifically pertaining to a rather popular fandom ship...

Onstage pet peeves?

oooooo this is such a good one! i've personally been lucky enough where, in the shows i've seen, the casts have all had amazing background chemistry with each other!

probably my main pet peeve would have to be when characters just... don't interact with each other? especially for Cats, they're supposed to be this big family group, so if they don't interact with each other it just takes away from the show!

Do you argue when people call the Jellicles a death cult?

lmao yes i argue with my brother at LEAST once a month

Cats 1998: What Is Kittens Part One

So, this is actually more of a way of determining the various age groups of characters. It’s more than just kittens and adults. There are several different subcategories.

I’ll start by saying that different sources perceive Electra, Etcetera, George, Jemima, Mistoffelees, Mungojerrie, Plato, Pouncival, Rumpleteazer, Tumblebrutus, and Victoria as kittens. All of them come across as “baby” sometimes and none of them seem to recognize Grizabella. In some other productions, but usually not 1998, Alonzo, Coricopat, and Tantomile are also seen as “baby”. But, they’re all over the place.

Part 1: Gumbie Cat

So, everyone gets in place for the first musical number. Bomba, Demeter, and Jellylorum get in place to sing as the Gumbie Trio, while Munkustrap gathers everyone else in a loose circle around him:

Mistoffelees, who is about to embarrass himself, is also standing. Etcetera, Victoria, Electa, Jemima, and Mungojerrie are on one side, while Rumpleteazer, Cassandra, and Alonzo or on the other. Further in the back behind Alonzo are Plato and Tumblebrutus, while Coricopat and Tantomile are in the far back, in front of the car. Munk acts like he’s putting on a show for the kittens here, but several cats that are not considered kittens are also there. Also, George and Pouncival are missing. There’s always at least one missing. This is what happens when you try herding cats.

Now, jump from the beginning of the number to the end:

A bunch of cats congratulate Jenny on her performance. This includes the Gumbie Trio, with Jellylorum just offscreen, as well as Skimble and Asparagus. These are The Adults. Munkustrap also goes into this category. Asparagus, Bombalurina, Demeter, Jellylorum, Jennyanydots, Munkustrap, and Skimbleshanks are the responsible adults of the group. Jenny, Jelly, Skimble, and Asparagus come across as a bit older than the other three.

The other adult characters, as well as most of kittens and maybe kittens were part of the Beetles Tattoo and are either hanging around in the background or offstage changing. So, there’s a reason why Alonzo, Cassandra, and the Psychic Twins are missing.

Part 2: The Rum Tum Tugger

I don’t have any screenshots for this one, since I don’t feel like I really need them.

Tugger is a controversial figure among the Jellicle Cats, especially the older ones. So, his presence sorts everyone into groups.

Out of the characters usually considered adults, Bombalurina, Cassandra, and the Twins all like Tugger. In most productions I’ve scene, Demeter is also a Tugger fan, but in this production, she’s not comfortable with him. Meanwhile, Munk and Alonzo are Not Amused, but they’re calm about it. They mostly wait out the number in the background. Strangely, Alonzo is part of Tugger’s group at the ball, so maybe his feelings are a bit more mixed.

Skimble, Jelly, Jenny, and Asparagus, the oldest of the adults, are all some combination of enraged, disgusted, and horrified by Tugger’s antics. Skimble even tries to stop some of the younger cats from joining.

As for the younger characters, almost all of them love Tugger. He’s their rockstar. Mungojerrie is absent during the number, for some reason. This is odd, because he’s usually in it, often trying to copy Tugger’s moves. Here, Jerrie and Teazer, still in Beetle costumes, see Tugger show up and they both run offstage. Teazer later comes back, but Jerrie doesn’t. Maybe he did something to piss Tugger off the other day.

The only young cat against Tugger is Mistoffelees, who rolls his eyes and calls him a bore. He spends the rest of the number sulking in the corner. After the number, during the instrumental reprise, Misto gets up and joins the dance party. The older cats chase Tugger around, trying to shut everything down, and Skimble stops by Misto and seems very disappointed in him, but he no longer cares. The order of events makes it look like Misto got annoyed with Tugger for kicking a ball at him, and generally just finds him annoying, and he wants the approval of the adults, so he insults Tugger and storms off. But, when Tugger gathers his fans, pelvic thrusts in their faces, and shows off his ass, Misto pays attention, though he might’ve just been annoyed by the girls screaming. And immediately after that display, Misto joins the party. Was he convinced that Tugger isn’t a terrible bore by watching his ass? 

Anyway, the young people love Tugger, the older adults don’t, and the ones in-between are split. Tugger himself plays of Bombalurina on equal footing. He isn’t just another fangirl. That means they’re probably the same age, so Tugger’s one of The Adults.

So:

Adults: Asparagus, Bombalurina, Demeter, Jelly, Jenny, Munk, Skimble, Tugger

Younger Adults?: Alonzo, Cassandra, Coricopat, Tantomile

Kittens/Maybe Kittens: Electra, Etcetera, George, Jemima, Misto, Jerrie, Plato, Pouncival, Teazer, Tumblebrutus, Victoria

By connecting with the adults and going against Tugger, Misto might be a little older than some of the others.

This turned out to be way more exhausting to write than I thought, so I’m splitting this into parts. Part Two should at least cover Grizabella and Bustopher.

TRANS SIBLINGS AU

In which Tugger and Munk are both trans and living their best lives

They both figured themselves out when they were really young. Surprisingly, Macavity helped a lot with this and was very chill about it.

They came out to Old D not long after, before they'd entirely figured it out even. One day out of the blue they ran up to him asking "Dad, can we switch genders?" To which Old D of course answered they could do whatever they liked and be whoever they wanted

As soon as Munk came out to Bomba they immediately hung a "no boys allowed" sign on their clubhouse. 

Tugger grew his mane out as soon as he could because it made his shoulders look broader. (Also with that much fluff no one will notice that you have boobs which is… a nice thing to avoid)

One day when they were teenagers, Tugger and Munk were having an argument. He called her a bitch, and their father yelled "DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO YOUR SISTER LIKE THAT" from the other room. Since they didn't really interact with many adults it was the first time someone had referred to Munk as "your sister". They were both smiling too much to finish their argument.

Once a few more pairs of siblings (Cori and Tanto, Jerrie and Teazer, Vicky and Misto) moved into the junkyard, Tugger noticed that Munk was a lot taller than him. He was the only tom his age who was shorter than his sister and he was. Bitter.

This is what prompted him to learn to walk in heels

Again they were teenagers, so he was still growing. The day he put on his shoes and realized he was taller than Munk was a glorious one. He bragged about it to everybody. 

When they were younger they'd  both get incredibly upset when Old D would introduce them, and it would be assumed that Munk was the son and Tugger was the daughter. Then they realized it could be worse. Misto and Vicky are identical twins. (More on this if you like)

They still get a Little upset but as adults they handle it far better. They've learned to gently correct people rather than shouting indignantly (Tugger) or glaring to kill a thousand suns (Munkustrap) 

When they were all kittens, Munkustrap and Macavity did… not get along. It got ugly a lot. Munk was Very glad when she realized she could now use the "you can't hit a girl!" argument because surprisingly, it worked.

(Macavity got progressively shittier as he got older but that's not what this is about)

Tugger and Munk are peak gay/lesbian solidarity 

Tugger decided he wanted to change his name when he first came out, even though Jellicle names aren't really gendered he just hated his. So yes, his name includes "The" at the beginning. He came up with it when he was like six.

Munkustrap decided to keep her name since it's a combination of family names, and she likes that. She's proud of her family in a way Tugger never really is

They share makeup, it's very convenient 

Gus once re-scored Growltiger's Last Stand so Munk could play Griddlebone 

Tugger is the best friend of everyone in the demebombastrap triad and at this point could be their marriage counselor because they all vent to him on the rare occasion something goes wrong

(Yeah you heard me, Tugger and Demeter are best friends. I love them and you can pry them from my cold, dead hands.) 

Tugger once offered to teach Munk to walk in heels, but she refused since it would make her taller than him again, and neither of them really want that. 

They can make terrible trans jokes back and forth for hours and at this point, every single other cat has had enough 

That's all I have off the top of my head, but PLEASE come ask me about it if there's anything else you want to know because I Will have the answer. Most of these are about both of them, but of course there's a lot happening with them as individuals as well!

They aren't the only trans cats of course. Other trans cats include, but are not limited to, Misto, Jenny, and Electra!

I'm probably going to write a fic about this at some point, possibly some point soon. Til then, feel free to talk to me about it because this au is my BABY.

[bullseyegames]

Today at 1:00 PM EST I saw Cats the Musical at the Shubert Theater with my mom. Here’s the saga:

Overture:

Mistoffelees was right next to me in the overture with glowing cats eyes and I nearly died right there.

I started crying during the overture, my mom gave me a tissue. Going great so far.

I started screaming at the end of the overture, people are starting to realize I’m a crazy person.

Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats:

Omg they’re here and they’re real and I’m here! I’m crying again.

I pointed out Cassandra to my mom as she came up the aisle. Mom is questioning why I know all the cats names.

MISTO AND TUGGER ARE CUDDLING EACH OTHER HOLY SHIT

The guy the cats call out for being surprised was right in front of me he looked So confused and scared and I was just grinning behind him.

Naming of Cats:

I’m whispering the words along with the cats. Plato made eye contact and smiled at me. I’m crying again.

Watching Victoria in the background is so much fun. She’s getting really into this.

Victoria’s Dance:

Invitation to the Jellicle Ball:

Misto sneaking up on Victoria with a mischievous look in his eye is a mood.

Victoria looks so annoyed with him, they are literally me and my brother and it makes me so happy.

I love this Misto’s voice and he’s so fucking graceful and elegant and I love him!

MISTO AND TUGGER ARE DANCING TOGETHER OMG

Mungo and Rumple try to greet Munk and he rolls his eyes and tells them to go away. Jerre is very upset at this.

Gumbie Cat:

Looks like the trunk is either broken or not functioning in this space so Jenny just kinda slid out onto the top of it but she’s so beautiful so I don’t care.

Misto is being such a helpful and concerned boy whenever Jenny is around. He’s very concerned when Jenny spaces out for a solid minute.

The Gumbie trio are angels and I will take this belief to my grave.

Plato being a snarky little shit during the dance break made me laugh.

FOR SHES A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW

The Rum Tum Tugger:

He’s here and Skimble is not happy about it!

Misto and Skimble are arguing in the background. Looks like misto is saying Tugger is cute and Skimble is disagreeing.

Misto makes sure Skimble isn’t looking before joining the dance.

Skimble stop trying to pull cats away from Tugger he’s a big sexy magnet and you can’t stop those hips.

My mom is singing along, this makes me so happy.

Misto is just twitching and squealing like a kitten he loves his boyfriend so much.

Munk has given up, just rolled his eyes and walked off stage.

Skimble is now complaining to Jenny, Jenny is too busy staring at Tuggers ass to pay any mind.

Grizabella the Glamour Cat:

Oof. No one is happy rn.

George is extremely startled poor baby.

Munk is trying his best to keep Demeter away and she is not happy about it.

Bomba actually walked up with her arms extended only to hiss and scamper off at the last second. That’s cold girl.

Munk is being very protective of the cats around him. Tugger walked off and Misto ran after him.

Demeter has such a pretty voice and Bomba is so sultry and AH SHIT I’m crying again.

Platoria alert! PLATORIA ALERT!

Bustopher Jones:

Misto continuing to be an extremely helpful boy making everything glow.

The actor did a great job but I honestly prefer his Gus more but we shall get to him later.

First Macavity Scare:

AH SHIT ITS GETTING SPOOKY

Misto and Tugger reaching out to each other before running off in fear.

Bomba being the last cat onstage showing that she don’t give a damn.

Plato is protecting both Cassandra and Victoria. I’m noticing a lot of Plato and Cassandra moments and I’m not sure how I feel about that just yet.

Mungojerre and Rumpleteazer:

ENTER THE CHAOS GREMLINS!

I love them so much and they were extremely slinking baby bastards.

The cartwheel was better than my best dream I’m so happy I’m gonna cry again!!!

Munk and Alonzo ain’t too happy with their shenanigans.

Old Deuteronomy:

“Old Deuteronomy?”

Munk and Tugger duet. ;-;

Platoria cuddling. ;-;

MISTO SMILING AT ME AS HE PASSES. ;—;

Second Macavity Scare:

Everyone just fucking bolted. No protecting, no character interactions, just pure fuck this shit I’m out.

The Jellicle Ball:

This was the happiest I have been in a very long time.

The dancing was gorgeous and the character interactions are absolutley amazing throughout the entire sequence. It was truly a wonderful sight. And yes I did cry again, I’m running out of tissues.

Pas de Deux:

I love that there was no awkwardness or hesitation, just pure love and devotion and OH MY GOD HE ALMOST DROPPED VICTORIA.

Like everything was fine in the end but he visibly stumbled and old Deuteronomy looked very startled for a hot sec. Still very beautiful.

Memory:

DANGIT GRIZZABELLA I HAD JUST STOPPED CRYING!

In all honesty my favorite part was old Deuteronomy looking longingly at her in the background. He misses her so much. ;-;

INTERMISSION :3

Moments of Happiness:

Old Deuteronomy’s voice is so strong and his vibrato is simply heavenly.

Deut pats cori on the head, cori pats Jemima on the head, Jemima sings like an angel.

Look at all those angels!

Gus the Theater Cat:

Jellylorum has such a lovely voice and her gentle movements are lovely.

Gus insulting the kittens is absolutely adorable, they’re so insulted.

Gus playfully hissing at Jemima before booping her nose makes me so soft.

Cat puns making the audience laugh is always wonderful.

The Pekes and the Pollices:

Whispered to my mom before hand “get ready for some chaos”.

Winsome Chinese :3

Misto with a boot on his head is more hilarious than it should be.

Gus has such a wonderful voice and it’s very clear he’s having a blast up there.

Gus received the standing ovation he deserved. Bless that wiry cat man.

Skimbleshanks:

“SKIMBLESHANKS THE RAILWAY CAT”

Alonzo and Jenny playing cards in the background while Skimble sings has a very specific vibe to it.

Mungo is so happy to be dancing with his dad and is just running around like a kitten.

Misto has slipped away to unleash his inner laserpointer.

Macavity Kidnapping:

DEMETER IS DOWN FOLKS SHE IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT.

Munk trying to shield everyone’s eyes and accidentally looking at Macavity and passing out.

Aaaand there goes cat dad.

Macavity:

Deme baby looks so startled.

Bomba we get it you have the hots for Macavity stop biting your lip like that.

YES GURLS FUCKING WORK!!!

Macavity Fight:

Poor Munk getting thrown around like a rag doll, Plato too getting flipped over.

Alonzo like “BITCH LET GO OF MY BOYFRIENDS GIRLFRIEND!”

Mac trying to use his magic to rehypnoitize the cats and looking genuinely scared when it doesn’t work.

Black out!

Mr. Mistoffelees:

Tugger being like alright y’all shut up while I sing about my boyfriend.

PJ is so graceful and beautiful!!! His voice is also very gentle and lovely and him and Tugger being so touchy makes me so happy.

THEY HUUUGGED!!!!!

OH WELL I NEVER WAS THERE EVER A CAT SO CLEVER AS MAGICAL MISTER MISTOFFELEES?!?!! ;—;

Memory:

This was a simply gorgeous performance. This Grizabella made some wonderful character choices and there was a beautiful satisfaction when Victoria took her hand.

I did notice that even after he touched her Tugger looked very uncomfortable at Grizabella’s presence.

Journey to the Heaviside Layer:

Oh.. oh my god I didn’t realize the tire flew that high. OH MY GOD I DIDN'T REALIZE GRIZABELLA ACTUALLY FLEW AWAY.

Addressing of Cats:

Heavenly Deut voice, audience bursted out laughing at the “cat is not a dog” line and I can’t blame them. Crescendo, bows, and it’s over...

POST SHOW :O

After the show me and my mom went across the street to buy cookies and when we came out we saw them striking the set! Here’s them putting the tire in the truck! :3

Overall this was a magical experience and you bet your sparkly ass I’ll be looking out for when the tour comes back around to me. Now if you excuse me I need to buy more tissues.

[recklessrex]

Jellicle-ho did this and now I also want to rank my favorite Cats. So I wrote this instead of writing about Sullivan.

Long Post Warning

To start with I don't hate/dislike any of them. The ones toward the bottom of the list tend to be ones I just think about less often, or don't feel like I connect to as well. Based on 1998 for simplicity's sake.

1) Munkustrap

My baby. Munk's always been my favorite from the very start. It's not just the hero thing, it's not just that Michael Gruber's a handsome mf, it's how he interacts with the others. He's so loving and protective, but at the same time so done with everyone's bullshit (when bullshittery occurs). And then there's the underlying anxiety issues we're all pretty sure he deals with that makes me just want to hug him. He just so clearly wants everyone to be happy and safe. It melts my heart how much joy he gets from seeing his tribe happy. Watch when Deuteronomy shows up in 1998, after he greets him himself (before which he steps aside so others can greet him first cuz he's a sweetheart), he spends most of the walk to the stairs soaking in how happy all the others are and being utterly overjoyed. Add to that his deep, devoted love for his father and how diligently he looks after him, his clear affection for his little brother Tugger despite being more done with his bullshit than anyone else's (Tugger don't touch the bagpip. Tugger no), his strong, tender bond with Alonzo and how smoothly they work together in a crisis, and his sometimes subtle, sometimes not-so-subtle crush on Demeter (notice that she's the only one other than Alonzo that HE approaches right before the Gumbie Cat and the only one he uses both hands to reach out to during that). Also his snark and sass, when he lets it out, is an utter joy. And I love the way he can assert his dominance with just a glance if the situation calls for it (watch him with Cassandra in Grizabella's first scene), but still rarely ever pulls rank like that. Overall he's a really fun character to watch for me, as well as to think about and (if I get around to it) write about.

2) Demeter

My other baby. (I'm so happy my two babies love each other). She's such a complex character. Her backstory of abuse and her current dealings with PTSD as a result are only the jumping off point. I love her moments of bravery, like jumping on Mac to protect the tribe despite everything she's been through. Courage isn't about not being afraid, it's about doing what needs to be done despite your fears. She's the most courageous member of the tribe and I love her so much. As for her relationships with the others, she has a much less subtle crush on Munk than he does on her, but she's so shy about it (and he's so damn polite) I doubt they'd ever get off the ground without a little help. She's so adorable in the way she looks at him, in 1998 she has a particular smile different from her other smiles that seems to be just for him. I also love her connection with Bomba, I feel like if she and Munk ever got off the ground it would be with Bomba's encouragement. Bomba is always there to hold her up when she feels small. While Munk makes her feel safe, Bomba makes her feel strong. So this is why Demelustrap is my OT3 thank you for coming to my TED talk.

3) Mungojerrie

Acts like a dumbass, is actually a genius. (Fight me). I love characters like this. Contradictions. Like brave strong Munk who is actually more emotionally vulnerable than he lets on, or nervous timid Demeter who bravely confronted the person she fears most. Mungo seems fundamentally clueless in most situations but I think he's just a carefree goofball, at least when the stakes are low. He and Teazer are both clever enough to get away with all sorts of mischief, and I don't think it's a "Teazer is the smart one" situation. I mean Teazer is probably smarter, but they need smarts on both sides. I also love how smoothly they work together as a team. Mungo ranks higher for those adorable "clueless" moments and for being a lovable goof.

4) Rumpleteazer

Acts like a bimbo, is actually a genius. To a lesser extent than Mungo in that she acts way less clueless than he does, and her antics are usually more obviously silliness rather than dumbassery. Would be higher but I just like Mungo's goofy aesthetic a bit more. I'd also like to take this time to note I do NOT think they are siblings. (Fight me. Again)

5) Mistoffolees

Another of those contradictions I love. He's simultaneously shy and showy, bold and insecure. He doesn't quite know who he is yet, but he knows who he wants to be. He's also adorable to watch, with his little hops and poses. His relationship with Tugger is adorable, whether you see them as mates or BFFs (both? both. both is good), and his obvious crush on Victoria is equally adorable (more NOT siblings!). The way he melts when she smiles at him toward the beginning of 1998 *sigh* so cute

6) Alonzo

Sorry @jellicle-ho I do love him lots, but he doesn't make the top five simply because I feel closer to Misto and the Chaos Twins (just an expression, not siblings!) on a spiritual level. He's still one of the best characters. He has his "contradiction" element of being cocky but somewhat insecure, and I especially love that he's just as serious as he is playful. He's also a slinky, sassy bastard and a blast to watch on stage.

7) Victoria

Woo boy. Okay first of all, since it seems to be a major factor, the contradiction element. She seems like a shy, reserved, almost demure young lady at first, but she's actually that quietly sassy serene girl at the Alpha bitch's lunch table, the one that's actually nice and doesn't participate in putting down the weird kid no one likes. But she's still gonna judge you. I love every moment of Victoria-sideeye in the 1998 video. And of course there's her whole side plot which basically revolves around her being extremely DTF, which is quite the opposite of "demure." Also her obvious crush on Misto is also adorable, the way she smiles at him, ugh like the only reason she danced with Plato instead is because Misto was too shy to approach her (also Plato has much better upper body strength so hey ho, hey hue, let's go Pas de Deux). She's also so very graceful and elegent and then there's her "omg why!?" flexibility which make her fascinating to watch.

8) Pouncival

Precious child. Precious little jackass brat. No but really I love him so much he's such a brat but also like he's tiny? And he wants to be cool sooo bad! The way he runs in for his "and bright!" all excited, I just can't. He has this sort of quiet, but enthusiastic demeaner of someone that knows he's not the star, but hopes to be, and he's bursting with energy in a pseudo-controlled way that I find more compelling than Etcetera's brand of enthusiasm. I love his acrobatics, whether they're super smooth, adorably clumsy, or straight up pratfalls. I love how 14-years-old he is. You can see him getting bored in that teenage "okay grampa you've told this story forty times already" kind of way during part of Gus's song. I love how adorably menacing he looks during the Naming of Cats. I just love the baby. He is very baby.

9) Bombalurina

She's beauty. She's grace. She'll smack you in the face. She's sexy and she knows it. She's such a confident, strong woman, and while she's the most overtly sexualized character, I kind of find it's even more empowering, you know? Like the idea that a woman can be both sexy and strong, she doesn't have to pick one. Bomba is walking proof that being strong, bold, and tough is not inherently "masculine," nor is protecting others. Don't get me wrong, I love strong female characters of all varieties, I'm not here to knock the tomboy trope, but when a strong female character is also sexually liberated it's just a different level of empowerment. Not just the deconstruction of "masculine/feminine" lines, but also in the "my body, my life, my choice" kind of way. Further, I absolutely love her relationship with Demeter. I personally support the mates, bffs, and siblings hcs because they honestly work so well as any of these (but as mentioned above, Demelustrap is my OT3, despite not always getting strong Bombastrap vibes). Her protectiveness and desire to comfort Demeter is so beautiful. Maybe it's the contradiction thing that I love so much. Strong, bold Bomba has her most tender moments when looking after Demeter. Idk. Moving on!

10) Rum Tum Tugger

He's beauty. He's… grace? He probably won't smack you in the face. He's sexy and he SO knows it. Tugger is walking proof that certain stereotyped "feminine" traits aren't inherently feminine, or to put it another way, he breaks down what it means to be "masculine." Think about it. Cares about his looks, beautiful luxurious long hair, wiggles his hips, wiggles his hips more, wiggles his hips when he walks, struts like a model on a runway, shakes his chest to be sexy, idolizes a cute boy, fashionable clothes (knee-bandana ftw!), all stereotypical "girly" traits, but would anyone describe Tugger as "girly"? Anyway, that's not even what I love most about him. I actually used to dislike him as a kid, but these days I can't get enough of him. Most of the time he just oozes positive vibes in one way or another, be it party vibes or laid back vibes. Most of his screentime in 1998 is such a good time because of that. He has such an energy and ferocity to him during his dance numbers, especially the second half of the Jellicle Ball in 1998. And then there's his quiet moments, especially the affection he shares with Munk while singing about their dad (omg the respect and affection he feels for both of them, coming from such a self-loving bastard it just ahhhhhh), and then after Deuteronomy comes back I just can't he's so sweet omg. Not to mention his whole relationship with Misto. Aside from the whole idolizing thing, which is adorable, he also is so supportive and encouraging. He just naturally bleeds confidence and good vibes, but he deliberately offers that confidence to Misto when he needs it. It's so beautiful and I'm gonna cry. I used to ship him with Bomba, but these days I hc them as friends with occasional benefits that like to place bets on how far interactions between Munk and Deme will go before one of them chickens out or gets awkward, and on which one will be the awkward chicken this time.

Wow I talked a lot about Tugger and he's only #10. Okay well, you folks ready to get controversial?

11) Macavity

I know I know, hear me out. I know most people interpret him as a total bastard with no redeeming qualities but like, I don't read him that way? Anyway I have complicated feelings about Mac but I'll get more into it in another post. As a character in the show I do really like him as a villain, I love his laugh, I love his "no look guys it's okay I brought him back see he's over there heheheh" gesture before he shows up in disguise, I love how show-boaty and "totally hyped for this" he is when he reveals himself, I love his "no wait please don't hurt me it's cool I'm leaving" gesture at Alonzo after the Jellicles start ganging up on him, he's just a blast of a character really, whether he's redemable or not.

12) Old Deuteronomy

Sweetest man you'll ever know. His compassion for the entire tribe is so sweet it hurts. He even feels love and understanding for Griz, and (futiley) tries to persuade the others to accept her, even subtley scolding them after the first "Memory" with his "Moments of Happiness." He loves his sons especially, and I adore every moment he interacts with either of them. He also can bring the sass, see his 'chin up' posture before Tugger bows to him, which I always read as them playfully teasing each other, or his little eye-roll when Munk gets a bit extra talking about the fire brigade. On that note, how into Munk's little play he is, even though it's going wrong. He keeps making encouraging gestures at Munk and reacting with surprise at the right moments (when Munk is looking at least lol). Anyway he's great moving on.

13) Jennyanydots

Jenny is that cool aunt that hangs out and has fun but also won't put up with your nonsense. She's so great I love her so much. She's honestly just a blast all the time I love her so much what can I say? I hc her as teaching Tumblebrutus how to sew. I don't know why.

14) Electra

Ah the "quiet" kitten. I read her as the tough tomboyish one of the girl kittens, and I hc her as sort of in training as a protector, and that's why she's more serious than the others. In 1998 she seems to look up to Munk, being the first to greet him before Gumbie Cat, and nuzzling him during Old Deuteronomy. 1998 Electra also has a lot of little adorable motions like licking her paws during Old Deuteronomy and retrieving the Peke paw from the middle of stage and than posing/playing with it during the Pekes and the Pollicles. I also love her freckles and her pink arm warmer. Massively underrated character.

15) Tumblebrutus

SPINNY. BALLET. BOI. Nuff said. But I'm gonna say more. He keeps up with Misto in ballet and exceeds Pounce in acrobatics, and as such is fascinating to watch. Also Brutus's struggle between his playful instincts and his desire to impress his elders is so adorable.

16) Admetus/George

First of all I first knew him as Admetus long long ago, and he will always be Admetus to me. Sorry. Second, omg this lovely, happy, wonderfully expressive boi. His face at literally any point in 1998 is such a gem.

17) Jemima

Speaking of great expressions, how bout Jemima? She's so cute and sweet! I love her whole deal of understanding Griz's pain and trying to get the rest of the tribe to understand. The only reason she's not higher up is because I somehow don't emotionally connect with her like I do some of the other kittens.

18) Coricopat

The more laid-back and playful half of the mystic twins. The twins in general are cool af, but Corico ranks higher for being more relatable.

19) Skimbleshanks

BUBBLY. TRAIN. DAD. Nuff said. Buttttt I'm gonna say more! Skimble is your best friend's dad that is always chaperoning on field trips but that's okay because he's actually pretty fun to be around most of the time. I love his cheerful expressions and his little jigs. His song is so much fun. And I love the relationship between him and Spara in 1998. More on that below

20) Asparagus

Okay so Spara is your other best friend's dad (or your best friend's other dad) who sometimes tries too hard to be cool and connect with the kids but that's okay because he's so nice and besides it's kind of adorable? What I find most adorable about Spara though is how hard he's crushing on Skimble. Like even if you hc them as already in a relationship, he really just can't get enough of Train Dad. Look at how Spara smiles at Skimble ALL THE DAMN TIME. He's practically blushing at multiple points during Skimble's song. And Skimble tends to gravitate towards Spara quite a bit, and omg that big grin he gives him during the line "sleeping car exprrrrreeesss!" I'm dead. In conclusion I need more Asparashanks content thank you for coming to my TED talk

21) Cassandra

I WANT to like Cassandra better than I do. I really really want to. But I feel like she's just so hard to get to know. I do enjoy her on stage, but as a character with backstory and motives she's a bit hard to work with. That being said she's by no means a flat character. I do hc her as one of the deputy protectors along with Alonzo, and more recently as part of the BFF power trio of her, Alonzo, and Munk, since Alonzo and much more subtley Munk are the only ones she shows any physical affection toward, aside from occasionally hanging out with T-brutus but we'll shelve that for now. I do really enjoy watching her though, she has some really interesting movements and expressions. And she does radiate a sort of "try me, I fucking dare you" vibe that I love a lot.

22) Tantomile

I have the same problem with Tanto that I do with Cass. I just don't feel like I know her very well. She is cool as a mystical psychic character, but that's part of what makes the twins in general cool. So far I haven't been able to connect to her as an individual without her brother, otherwise she would be much higher on this list. She's still cool though.

22) Plato

*Deep breath* okay. I don't dislike Plato. I just.. okay look out of the male kittens/young adults, he's my least favorite. He does have qualities that I really like, like how he's a shy reserved boy on the outside and a fiery passionate soul on the inside. That's cool. Also those intense expressions are pretty cool I guess. I guess I might have less positive feelings about him because everyone assumes Victoria's magically in love now because of the Pas de Deux even though they barely interact otherwise. Which is unfair of me to feel that way. I hc him as struggling with internalized anger and anxiety and having difficulty expressing himself.

23) Etcetera

I'll be honest, I used to find her annoying. This one's pretty much entirely on me, because she has a superficially similar demeanor to a girl that used to bully me in school. But since graduating Cety's grown on me a lot, not in small part due to her wonderful enthusiasm for literally everything. While less compelling to me than Pounce's quieter, more controlled flavor of energetic enthusiasm, her bouncy jubilance still makes me grin and giggle along with her, so that's a major plus.

24) Jellylorum

Jelly is your other cool aunt that worries too much about your safety but also has cool stories to tell and is always doing like art and stuff in her garage. I hc her as the tribe nurse. Would be higher if not for slight Karen-ness.

25) Gus

Only on stage for a short time but he shines. The way he starts out all helpless looking like he doesn't even know where he is and slowly blossoms into singing about his old days with enthusiasm, and then breaking down into tears. He's a great character for the scene that he's in, but unfortunately there's not a lot else to him, so he gets a low spot on the list

26) Grizabella

Oof. Okay so. I get it. She messed up. My hc is… well, complicated, but short version is she never planned on being a mom and has no idea how to be a mom, and so she just let Deut raise Munk and visited occasionally (ahem rarely), but she does end up later spending some time as his primary caregiver, and she fucks up royally, like massive neglect and mild emotional manipulation, and ends up emotionally damaging Munk more than if she'd left him alone. SO with this hc in mind, is she redemable? Idk. But the tribe forgave her so that's what matters. Do I feel sorry for her? Yes. Do I believe she honestly regrets her past actions? …kind of? Yes. Let's go with yes. Does any of this make her my favorite character? Not by a long shot. I have mixed feelings about Grizabella. I don't dislike her I just… don't know how to feel about her.

27) Bustopher Jones

Walking fat joke, but a pleasant walking fat joke. Wish we could have got to know him better than "that cultured fat guy all the toms want to impress." He's fun though. I love his expressions throughout his song, and that toodle-pip! is so adorable.

28) Exotica

Oh Exotica. Who even are you. We don't know you at all. I do like the moment in Old D's song when she's reaching from the outside of the crowd hoping to get to touch him, and he reaches out so she can, and immediately after touching him she drops her hand and backs away, which I read as shy fangirl overload flee the scene omg he touched me omgomgomg. So that was cute. Ummm. I wish she'd stop changing colors every three seconds so I could keep track of her. Other than that, I don't dislike her, I just don't know her well enough to like her.

Omg I made it to the end. Did I forget anybody? I don't think so... Phew, that was so hard! Thanks for reading if you made it this far! :)

Warsaw Tugger Stuff

I checked the wiki and I’ve been able to identify a few characters. I’m not confident about some of them, but if I use a name and sound certain, than I probably am.

The lighting is not my friend. I thought this was Victoria at first, but based on later stuff, I don’t think it is anymore.

Tugger messes around with George and pulls a mouse out of thin air as a treat for him.

So, Tugger runs into the audience after the first verse, instead of during the instrumental break. While he’s out there, a Cat With Mickey Mouse Ears Who I Think Is Alonzo calls him a terrible bore and Bomba takes offense for him and kicks Mouse Ears in the nuts.

Replica Tugger: *literally drops Bomba on the floor*

Me: Lol better luck next time :p

Warsaw Tugger: *walks away from Victoria when she’s expected a kiss*

Me: >:(

I have no idea why this is the case.

Tugger has a reason for walking away though. Warsaw Tugger’s got a girlfriend!

This was the girl I mistook for Victoria at first, but she’s more silver than white, so it’s not her.

Tugger’s GF is Fantasia, a character original to Warsaw. Fantasia is an awesome name, I like her design, and I don’t mind Tugger having a girlfriend because they’re fun.

Fantasia here reminds me a bit of Broadway Revival Misto. Tugger runs around, flirts with everyone, and loses interest in all of them pretty quickly. But when he dances with the one Special Cat, he doesn’t get bored and they have a nice time.

I still love Tuggoffelees but as of right now, for Cats Warsaw, Tuggertasia otp.

Cassandra does a Dramatic Pose and gets mad when Tugger ignores her.

Victoria still can’t get Tugger to notice her, but he’ll notice George a little. George is like Replica Jemima, the baby Tugger likes to dote on a bit.

So, yeah, a lot just happened, but I’m starting to have a good time.

[sevenkittensinatrenchcoat]

Saw My Mutuals Doing a Hunger Games

So, I also messed around with the Hunger Games Simulator. I called it Macavity’s Jellicle Choice. Macavity managed to defeat Old Deuteronomy and decided that the next cat to ascend to the Heaviside Layer as to survive a Hunger Games. 23 cats just die. The 24th gets reborn.

I am so terrible with the simulator that I didn’t even have images for the characters, so I didn’t take many screenshots. Instead, I took notes of what happened.

We’ll begin at the end:

This is the only screenshot you’re getting. All of the nicknames I used are very stupid.

Here are the notes I took as I played this thing:

Content Warning: It’s a Hunger Games. Violence and Death. Also featuring my dark sense of humor.

Bloodbath

Pouncival and Plato fought over a bag, but Pouncival was too small to win that fight and ran away.

Tantomile Inventory: Shield x1

Jellylorum managed to scare Tugger away from the Cornucopia. Nobody was surprised by this.

Victoria Inventory: Bombs x5

Bombalurina Inventory: Shield x1

Munkustrap has made the Cornucopia into his base.

Rumpleteazer, Asparagus, and Grizabella got into a fight. I assume it must’ve been some sort of Emotional Ballad Competition, because Grizabella was victorious.

Etcetera Inventory: Canteen x1

Mungojerrie is hiding in the Cornucopia. Munkustrap knows this and is allowing it.

Day 1:

After all that “excitement” (The Bloodbath wasn’t that bloody tbh), there’s still much to be done.

George and Coricopat got into a fight, but it was just practice and they’re fine. George won, btw.

Pouncival has already managed to hurt himself will foraging for food.

Jemima Inventory: Hatchet x1 (The baby has plenty of sponsors, I assume.)

Bombalurina caught some fish, but that’s not that exciting.

Grizabella murdered Alonzo with a trident. I’m starting to become concerned by how good she is at killing people.

Tantomile just fell in a lake and drowned. Quite the anticlimax.

Allience! Electra, Cassandra, and Mistoffelees are on the prowl!

Tumblebrutus managed to scare Tugger into running away. I think “run away” is Tugger’s strategy at this point.

Munkustrap Inventory: Nameless Fruit x3

Jellylorum Inventory: Spear x1 (She made it herself. All those years of teaching kids crafts have paid off.)

Victoria beat Mungojerrie in a fight, but let him go because this was either a practice round or the announcer for the family-friendly TV station that airs The Hunger Games just claimed they were “fighting” in the bushes.

Etcetera Inventory: Canteen x1, Food Item x1 (Thank you, sponsor! …Okay, it was me.)

Mass Funeral 1:

RIP Rumpleteazer. (Lean Lynx) Her ballad wasn’t angst enough.

RIP Asparagus. (No Fuss 2 Pronounce) He just wanted to play Growltiger.

RIP Alonzo. (True Himbo) That was kind of pathetic.

RIP Tantomile. (She Psych) Your death was so boring.

Night 1:

Serial Killer Grizabella got Electra.

Plato became Enemy Number 1 for some unknown reason and he was hunted down by Coricopat, Tumblebrutus, Tugger, Jenny, and Munkustrap.

Remember how Pouncival injured himself? He got pricked with tiny thorns and bled out a few hours later.

Etcetera just screamed for help AND IF SOMEONE DOESN’T HELP HER I SWEAR TO GOD-

Some strange archery accident involved Victoria, Skimble, and Cassandra occurred. Cassandra’s dead now.

Jellylorum isn’t dead, but she’s unconscious, so someone should really look into that.

Misto and Jemima are snuggling!

Bombalurina stabbed George and left him to die. A bit harsh.

Demeter and Mungojerrie have been spotted holding hands. These two Macavity survivors have turned to each other for emotional support.

Day 2:

Allience! Jerrie, Victoria, Coricopat, Misto, and Munkustrap are on the prowl!

Serial Killer Grizabella is stalking Jemima! Luckily, she hasn’t got a chance to kill her.

Skimble stabbed Tugger.

Etcetera has found her mom. Jellylorum has kept her safe for the day.

Demeter Inventory: First Aid Kit x1 (From a sponsor)

Jennyanydots Inventory: First Aid Kit x1 (From a sponsor, cleverly giving medical supplies to someone who might be able to help everyone. Hopefully, no more kittens will end up like Pouncival.)

Mass Funeral 2:

RIP Electra (Book and Bell): She didn’t expect Grizabella to go so insane so quickly.

RIP Plato (Not Too Big): He was played by the same actor as Macavity, so maybe the mob got mixed up.

RIP Pouncival (Can Do Handstand): He died from a boo-boo.

RIP Cassandra (Pharaohs’s Girl): I’m still not sure wtf just happened.

RIP George (Could Be Admetus): I almost completely forgot about him, but the audience will remember.

RIP Tugger (Tugs): Skimble took their rivalry too far.

So, that was a massacre…

Night 2:

Coricopat just randomly died from thirst. Remember that Tantomile drowned. One twin died from too little water, and the other from too much.

Victoria is having nightmares. Just thought you should know.

Jerrie, Skimble, Grizabella, and Demeter have set up camp together. After everything that’s happened, sharing a camp with Grizabella sounds like a terrible idea, but everyone’s under a lost of stress and not thinking clearly.

Misto has built a shelter and Jenny is allowed inside. Good choice of ally.

Jemima tried to sing herself to sleep. Poor baby…

Munk killed Jelly with a poison dart. It was quite brutal. I don’t think he meant it that way, but the game only ends after most of them are dead.

Bombalurina has begun to question her sanity. I think this question applies to nearly everyone.

Etcetera, after possibly witnessing Munk kill Jelly, appears to have snapped. She hacked Tumblebrutus to pieces with a weapon that I didn’t even know she had.

Day 3:

Stalking Jemima was a bad choice. Serial Killer Grizabella now as a sprained ankle.

Allience! Victoria, Jenny, Misto, and Jerrie are on the prowl!

Munk died from thirst, and possibly from guilt.

Bomba and Skimble are friends for today.

Etcetera Inventory: Food Item x1 (Sponsor. I had to do something)

Mass Funeral 3:

RIP Coricopat (He Psych): His death matched up with his twin’s.

RIP Jellylorum (Bitches Be Jelly): That was really fucked up.

RIP Tumblebrutus (Fliptastic): He was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time.

RIP Munkustrap (Fearless Leader): At the end of the day, he couldn’t kill his family.

Night 3:

Etcetera is gazing at the stars, looking for a Dead Parent-Shaped Constellation.

Victoria managed to defeat Serial Killer Grizabella, but she let her go.

Jerrie and Jemima are snuggling! I think he might’ve adopted her. Normally, that would be Skimble’s job, but…

Demeter found those poison darts Munk was using and killed Skimble with one of them.

Meanwhile, because everyone’s parents are dying tonight, Misto shot Jenny. I think he might’ve planned it. The Hunger Games brings out the worst in everybody, sooner or later.

Feast!

Smart Cats Who Stayed the Fuck Out of It: Mistoffelees and Demeter

Bomba just grabbed some food and ran for it, so she’s also pretty smart.

Etcetera’s nervous breakdown continues. She killed Victoria in an ambush, not caring who she was killing at this point.

Serial Killer Grizabella managed to behave when she ran into Jerrie and Jemima. They grabbed their stuff and left.

Day 4:

Misto is ready to die, but Jemima won’t kill him and Jerrie went out to hunt, so he’s not there to do it for her.

Grizabella died of dysentery. This isn’t even a joke.

EVENT: Tsunami (Later to be Dubbed “The Tsunami of Tears”)

Survivors: Mistoffelees, Mungojerrie, and Demeter

Little Etcetera got swept away. Bomba and Jemima both sort of crashed into each other, leaving them stunned for long enough to drown.

We just lost all of our kittens :,(

Mass Funeral 4:

RIP Jennyanydots (Mouse Mother): Misto betrayed her, but she probably didn’t mind.

RIP Skimbleshanks (Railway Cat): I’d like to propose a ban on poison darts.

RIP Victoria (Little White Cat): Another kitten in the wrong place at the wrong time.

RIP Grizabella (Cat Who Sings Memory): She died of dysentery.

RIP Etcetera (Little Tiger Cub): *wails*

RIP Bombalurina (Whittington’s Friend): She played very pragmatically, but lost from last-minute bad luck.

RIP Jemima (Sillababy): *wails louder*

Night 4:

After all the bullshit they’ve been through, the three survivors just decide to duel each other to the death now. Misto defeats Jerrie and Demeter. None of them were trying very hard.

Anyway, Mistoffelees won. I didn’t rig this so my favorite would win. I don’t know how one rigs a Hunger Games Simulator. I would’ve preferred to save a kitten.

If it isn’t obvious by now:

Mean Minx: Mungojerrie

Leading Lady: Demeter

Pied Piper’s Assistant: Mistoffelees

So, that’s what I did on this fine Tuesday morning.

Hunger Games Idea Inspired by: @fluffytuffles and @0zzysaurus​

I didn’t use the same template, but I wouldn’t have thought to do the thing if my mutuals didn’t start it.

As for the backstory I set up before hand, Mistoffelees magically kicked Macavity’s ass and rescued Old Deuteronomy. They figured out that it was all a magical nightmare Macavity had sent to torment the tribe. Misto’s magic allowed him to fight the nightmare for the longest. Demeter and Jerrie and also built up some Macavity resistance over time. Everyone who came close to winning had slightly higher Macavity resistance for one reason or another.

Anyway, they all woke up from the nightmare and everyone was actually fine.

The End

My Cats OC Part 228

part 227- https://scorpiofangirl1109.tumblr.com/post/663456245082144768/my-cats-oc-part-227

hello everyone! welcome to part 228 of my series on kiki!

this is a continuation of the human au i didn’t know i was pregnant mini series with munkustrap and demeter!

not long after demeter called her sister bomba to tell her the news she knew she had to call her brother jerrie and other sister teazer. they probably were going to be pretty excited about the news.

so she called jerrie first to see if he was there. usually on saturday he and teazer did their errands together as they lived verily close to one another.

“hey sis. what's up?” jerrie said after he picked up relatively quickly, he was obviously driving in the car right now.

“hey ya demi.” teazer said “i’m with jerrie. what do we owe the pleasure of your call?”

“well i have some news i wanted to share with the two of you. are you guys at one of your apartments or are you out?” demeter asked.

“we just finished some errands and we are heading back to teazer’s place., why do you ask? and what is this big news” jerrie asked.

“i was just wondering from the background noise, well this is pretty big news. i just told bomba the news. and mom and dad already know.” demeter began. 

the other end was silent and demeter could tell that the twins were waiting for her to tell her news. even though she could not see jerrie or teazer reacting badly demeter felt unsure of how this would go. 

“well i was having bad stomach pains and they got so bad that munkustrap had to bring me to the hospital. so they did an ultrasound to find out what was wrong. and they discovered i was pregnant.” demeter said.

the twins were silent for a moment again and demeter was worried that they had gotten disconnected since they were in jerrie’s car. but soon teazer spoke up. 

“wait? you’re pregnant?!” teazer asked with excitement in her voice, she squealed a bit at this. 

“well i was. i had the baby a couple of hours ago. you guys have a brand new niece.” demeter said. 

teazer squealed again and it was really easy to tell that she was very excited by the news.

“wait you never looked pregnant. how did you not know?” jerrie asked a bit confused at this.

“i just never had any of the typical signs like having a pregnant belly or stuff like that, but munkustrap is currently with the baby and holding her.” demeter said.

as she said this demeter looked over at munkustrap who still had kiki on his chest and he was talking to her softly. even though kiki was asleep he kept talking to her and demeter thought it was endearing. 

“this is the best news ever! i can’t believe you had a baby!” teazer said excitedly. “i’m an auntie now!! but you and the baby are doing good?” 

“yeah i am in pain still but i am fine and the baby is doing good, she was born healthy. she is having some cuddles with munkustrap.” demeter said smiling a bit. 

“ok so we are going to be able to meet the baby?” jerrie asked “are mom and dad there?”

“no they left a while ago. they came and stayed with me for a while and we were here when they baby was actually born. they went home to rest a while ago. bomba is coming if you guys want to come with her.” demeter said. 

“well of course i have to meet this brand new niece. i am so freaking happy for you!” teazer said excitedly. “i can't believe i am finally an auntie.” 

“thanks teazer. you guys are going to love her. she is the sweetest little thing. she has a name, you can find out her name once you guys get here.” demeter said.

“so besides mom, dad and bomba have you told anyone else?” teazer asked as she was calming down a bit

“we have told munkustrap’s parents and tugger and misto. that is it. we will call his aunt and grandfather in a bit to tell them the news as well.” demeter said. 

“well this is not the news i was expecting but i am excited to be an uncle. let me drop off the groceries at teazer's place and then we will be on our way.” jerrie said to demeter.

“yeah that sounds fine with me. do what you guys have to do. munkustrap can text you all of the details.” demeter said. “i can’t wait for you three and bomba to meet this sweet girl.”

“oh i cannot wait to meet this baby! i just know she is going to be the cutest thing. oh i can’t wait to hold her.” teazer said getting all excited again.

“i’ll see you guys later. i know you are excited but please drive safe ok?” demeter told her siblings.

“oh don’t worry i am driving so we do not get a speed ticket for getting to the hospital so fast.” jerrie said.

demeter knew her sister would speed to the hospital as fast as she could to see her and the baby. at least with jerrie they would get there in one piece. 

“good. i’d like my daughter to meet her aunt and uncle in one piece. i’l see you both soon. i love you.” demeter said.

“love you too! bye” jerrie and teazer said together in unison as they hung up the phone.

demeter was glad that this had gone well and they took the news well. now she was actually excited for all of her siblings to meet her baby girl. and she knew they would fall in love too, 

alright that is part 228! let me know what you guys thought and i will see you all for part 229! so sorry this is short!

My Cats OC Part 54

part 53- https://scorpiofangirl1109.tumblr.com/post/646877506005254144/my-cats-oc-part-53

hello everyone! welcome to part 54 of my series on kiki! this is going to be another  cats human au headcanon. i hope you guys like it!

i am only getting one update out before bed but this will be the longest one i have written yet so i think that will make up for it! 

a quick shout out to @the-pied-pipers-assistant for talking through this idea with me! i really appreciate it! you are awesome for listening to me ramble on and on all of the time lol. 

in this headcanon kiki will be 2 years old! 

munkustrap honestly was lucky because when kiki was usually a pretty easy baby. and she was usually pretty happy as well. of course there were moments kiki would scream and cry loudly or she would be fussy. but generally munkustrap was lucky that kiki was easy.

as kiki came a toddler she was still pretty easy for the most part. but munkustrap noticed kiki was starting to become a bit more stubborn at times such as when he tried to get her to eat a vegetable for example. but kiki was still pretty easy. but still had tantrums like all toddlers did.

luckily munkustrap was patient and was able to handle kiki’s temper tantrums calmly and was willing to wait as long as he had to until she was done. 

but once kiki turned two she threw a curveball for munkustrap when she started to hit the terrible twos stage.

a little while after demeter moved in with munkustrap and his daughter, kiki learned how to climb out of her crib. up to this point kiki had always slept in her crib just fine. she would remain in her crib during her naptime or all night before letting munkustrap or someone else would get her out. 

one night after being put into her crib by munkustrap, kiki slept for about two and a half hours before she woke up. normally kiki just went back to sleep. but this night was different, she wanted to go see her mama and daddy. 

so kiki got up and after a bit of effort the toddler climbed out of her crib. she fell to the floor landing on her bum but was quick to get up and rushed over to the door and managed to open it despite munkustrap’s best efforts to child proof kiki’s room. 

the toddler walked into the hallway dragging her kitty cat nd disney princess blanket with her. 

she could hear the tv was on downstairs so she walked to the staircase. but there was a baby gate at the top and kiki could not get it to budge no matter how much she tried. 

so after trying and failing to open the gate kiki started calling out for munkustrap and demeter, calling out “mama!! daddy!!”

munkustrap and demeter had not heard kiki on the baby monitor which was on the coffee table. it was a video monitor and the last time they had checked it kiki was fast asleep so they has assumed she was out for the night. 

but when they heard her little voice calling out for them, munkustrap and demeter were quick to get up and rush up to go see what was wrong. so when they found kiki sitting in front of the baby gate on the floor with her blankie and kitty cat they were confused.

munkustrap knew for a fact he had put kiki in her crib after finishing her bedtime stories. so why was she out in the hallway?

“kiki why are you out of bed love? daddy put you down to go night night.” demeter asked as she opened the gate and scooped kiki up in her arms. 

kiki snuggled into demeter before saying “i wakes up.”

“but it is late love, you need to sleep.” demeter told kiki looking down at her.

“kiki how did you get out of bed?” munkustrap asked kiki looking at his daughter.

“i climb out.” katie said with a shrug as if it was something she always did.  

“kiki you can’t climb out of your bed. you could get hurt.” munkustrap said as he and demeter were walking back to  kiki’s room. 

when they got back into the room, demeter kissed kiki's head before letting munkustrap take kiki in his arms so he could put her back to bed and she could go back to sleep which kiki did do after she was sung a lullaby. 

this kept happening every single night afterwards. it was clear kiki would get out of her crib as much as she wanted. so when demeter said that kiki should get a big girl bed munkustrap didn’t want to. but eventually demeter convinced him it was necessary. 

so he decided to take kiki’s convertible crib and to make it into a toddler bed. for kiki and they even took kiki out so she could pick some bedding for her big girl bed. she choose a disney princess bedding set that matched her favorite blankie.  

when the day came to actually convert the bed, munkustrap had his brother tugger over to help him when he and misto had come over. tugger initially tried to back out but eventually agreed to help out munkustrap while misto and demeter were downstairs entertaining kiki. 

it took a while to disassemble the crib and to convert it to a toddler bed. with quite a few curse words coming out from the brothers. but eventually they finished the process even if it took a while and kiki had to nap in munkustrap and demeter’s bed. 

when kiki saw her bed, she was confused at first about what had happened to her crib, she asked munkustrap as tugger held her “daddy what happen to my crib?”

“well you’re a big girl now. you get to have a big girl bed. and you get to sleep in a big girl bed.” munkustrap told kiki. 

after dinner, misto and tugger left and demeter and munkustrap got kiki ready for bed like any other night. but when they tried to tuck her in kiki freaked out and was screaming loudly. she was clinging to munkustrap and was not wanting to sleep in her old bed. 

demeter tried to put kiki down as well but it did not help either as kiki kept doing the same routine. after what seemed like a lifetime, kiki eventually had worn herself out enough through her tantrum that she had fallen asleep. 

over the next few nights putting kiki to bed consisted of having a huge tantrum and putting up a fight about sleeping in her bed, when kiki managed to sleep, he would not remain asleep for long as she would always climb out of bed and go running to demeter and munkustrap. she just did not want to sleep in her big girl bed. 

this was very hard on demeter and munkustrap having to be up constantly trying to get kiki to sleep and stay in her bed for more than an hour and a half at a time. 

naturally the couple became very sleep deprived from staying up with kiki. this took a toll on munkustrap especially as he was the one getting up with kiki the majority of the time. the last time munkustrap was this exhausted was when kiki was newborn and waking constantly for feedings or diaper changes. 

it started to show how exhausted munkustrap was. he started to develop bags under his eyes and dark under eye circles. plus he started to drink way more coffee than usual. munkustrap pretty much looked like a sleep deprived zombie. most nights ended up with kiki sleeping with munkustrap and demeter out of sheer desperation to get her to sleep at all. 

he was so exhausted that one night he ended up falling asleep on the floor next to kiki’s bed. he was in there because every time kiki would get out of bed, he was there to put her right back in. but the whole process took a lot of of the sleep deprived father and caused him to pass out on the floor. 

kiki looked down at her daddy and got one of the baby blankets near her rocking chair and covered munkustrap with it. after this she sued this as a prime chance to escape her room and run to hide to avoid going into her big girl bed. 

demeter had noticed it had gotten very quiet in kiki's room so she walked down the hall to see what was happening. as soon as she stepped into the room the woman noticed munkustrap passed out on the group, which was evident from the quiet snores coming from him. but she did not see kiki and searched the room not finding the toddler anywhere. 

demeter sighed as she now had to go find kiki who was “playing hide and seek”. after searching the female found kiki with her kitty cat hiding  behind a curtain, she could see kiki's little feet sticking out  even though kiki tied to wrap herself in the curtain to hide. 

demeter walked over and gently pulled the curtain from around kiki and picked her up before kiki could dart off. she walked kiki back to her room and tried to put kiki to bed. but of course the toddler dug her heels in and refused to stay in bed throwing a tantrum.

kiki was always loud during a tantrum and this was no exception. but amazingly somehow munkustrap slept through kiki have a tantrum even as kiki screamed “nwo mama! pwease!” as demeter kept putting her back into bed. when kiki did somehow fall asleep, demeter to had to nudge munkustrap awake and get him to go to bed since he was so tired. 

the couple hoped kiki would outgrow this and get used to it. but it did not get better. as the tantrums kept happening every single night and no one in the house was getting enough sleep 

one night demeter walked into the hallway see munkustrap looking very sleep deprived and disheveled. in addition to his under eye bags and under eye circles munkustrap's hair was all messy, as if he had not brushed it for weeks and he was in his pajamas and old tattered bathrobe. munkustrap was also half asleep as he was trying to get a screaming and crying kiki to sleep. a cup of black coffee in his free hand

demeter was very concerned at this sight and also she was afraid he was going to drop kiki from how he kept nodding off.so she quickly rushed over and took kiki in her arms ordering munkustrap to bed. 

munkustrap shook his head saying “no...i’m fine....really.” but from how he was struggling to remain awake. while holding a crying kiki in her arms she tried to force munkustrap to bed even if he kept refusing. 

demeter still tried to calm kiki down and nothing that usually worked for kiki, helped at all. and the female was quickly running out of ideas and she did not want to put kiki in bed with her and munkustrap. 

it got to the point where demeter got so desperate she got her car keys and loaded kiki up in the car with her kitty cat and blanket to drive around until she fell asleep. munkustrap heard demeter open the garage and after learning what she was doing, he insisted on coming along. demeter kept trying to go to sleep but it was falling on deaf ears so she gave in and let munkustrap come. 

demeter put baby shark on for kiki and put the song on loop so it would keep playing and once she backed out of the driveway she started to drive around to get kiki to sleep. 

after a while, kiki fell asleep in the backseat, but munkustrap had also fallen asleep. once at home demeter turned off the car. and stopped playing baby shark off her phone. the female also nudged munkustrap several times to wake him up.

demeter was extremely careful and managed to get kiki into her bed and tuck her in without waking her. this was the first night in a long time kiki did not come into bed with munkustrap and demeter. 

the woman knew she could not drive kiki around while blasting baby shark every night, so the next day when munkustrap was at work and she went over to see her parents for advice. she had kiki with her that day because kiki’s daycare center was closed because of pipes bursting in the building/ 

jenny and skimbles told demeter that they had experienced this with the twins, jerrie and teazer when they were the same age and the key was to just keep at it. even if it took 70 times that she needed to keep putting kiki back in bed and reassure her that she was going to be ok. 

demeter decides to take her parents’ advice and tells munkustrap to help her with putting kiki to bed. after they read to kiki, demeter puts kiki down in her bed and munkustrap tucks her in. 

kiki of course is not liking this and she cries getting out of bed. demeter stand sup and puts kiki back into bed tucking her in again telling kiki it was time to go to sleep. the toddler cried and once demeter sat down she got out of bed but this time munkustrap picked up kiki and out her down again. 

kiki keeps getting out of bed every time she is put down in bed. so demeter munkustrap take turns putting her back into bed reassuring her that she is ok. it takes a while and after countless time kiki learns to stay in bed and si crying but remains in bed.

not long afterwards kiki finally goes to sleep and demeter and munkustrap quickly leave the room. they keep doing this every night and it only takes a few nights before kiki’s bedtime tantrums stop and when she is put down for the night she remains in bed.

when kiki is finally sleeping in her big girl bed and not fighting them about going to bed, this takes a lot of stress off demeter and munkustrap and they are able to get the sleep they need. well at least demeter is most of the time because while munkustrap is seeping more, he still stays up way too late doing work, only going to bed when demeter makes him. 

alright that is part 54! this is the longest part i have written so i hope you all enjoyed! let me know what you guys thought and i will see you all for part 55!

My Cats OC Part 78

part 77- https://scorpiofangirl1109.tumblr.com/post/648965490974359552/my-cats-oc-part-77 

hello everyone! welcome to part 77 of the series on my cats oc kiki! i am glad you are here.

this is going to be a cats human au headcanon and i hope you all like it! i enjoy the human au a lot which is why i keep doing them. i hope you like it too!

kiki is going to be a newborn in this update!

the day kiki was born was the best day of munkustrap’s entire life. he totally cried a bit hearing the sound of kiki crying when she was born. part of it from the emotions of knowing that eh was actually a dad now and because he got to witness this little miracle enter the world. 

while graciette was not wanting to hold their newborn daughter, munkustrap was more than eager to hold their baby. when one of the nurses put kiki into his arms munkustrap teared up all over again and gently kissed the top of kiki’s head. 

all munkustrap could do was look down at the little baby in his arms and marvel about how he helped create this little miracle. she was absolutely perfect in his eyes. 

munkustrap was so happy to finally be a dad and today was the best day in his entire life. he honestly lost track of how much time he sat there holding kiki in his arms as she looked around and up at munkustrap. he didn’t want to tear his eyes away from his 

of course munkustrap started to take a lot of pictures of kiki that day and he even changed the wallpaper of his phone to be of kiki. his child was not even a day old and he was already becoming that parent with so many pictures of their child on their phone. 

he sent a text message to his family to announce that kiki was here knowing they were going to want to come and meet the newborn. he sent a picture of course when he sent out the message. 

it was not long after the message was sent that his family started to show up to the hospital. his parents, his aunt jellylorum and his grandfather gus were the ones to arrive first. 

they all  gushed over little kiki who was sleeping in the bassinet having just had her first feeding. and now with her belly nice and full, kiki was sound asleep. 

the first person to hold kiki was grizabella, munkustrap smiled as he put kiki in his mother’s arms. grizabella was smiling with pride and she even teared up a bit looking down at kiki who had opened her eyes and looked at grizabella before yawning and going back to sleep.

for grizabella she was so happy, this was a her very first grandchild, a days she had dreamed of for a long time and it was finally here. she already loved this baby girl so much, she was just so perfect. 

the next person to hold kiki was deuteronomy. similar to his wife, he was  extremely happy to be a grandfather. he was beaming looking down at kiki as she was sleeping soundly in his arms and kiki so little in his arms because deuteronomy was a big guy. 

he was happy to be a grandfather now and was also proud of his son. he knew munkustrap was going to be such an amazing father to this little girl. deuteronomy also knew he and grizabella would spoil this little girl a lot. 

after deuteronomy, jellylorum was the one who held kiki next.. although kiki was technically her great niece and not her grandchild, she view tugger and munkustrap as her sons so she would view kiki as her own grandchild. she didn’t care what kiki called her but was just happy to be in kiki’s life. 

jellylorum loved little babies and she was enjoying the feeling of holding a newborn in her arms again. it was also hard for her to believe that munkustrap was a father now but like deuteronomy she knew munkustrap would be a rat dad. 

gus was the next one to hold kiki. this was a very special moment. it was not everyday that someone became a great grandparent. it was something that was a special moment. so gus was proud in this moment and was  elated about having a great-granddaughter. 

tugger and misto had arrived while gus was holding kiki and after giving munkustrap their congratulations they got to meet their niece for the first time. 

tugger was first to hold her out of her two uncles. and he was a bit afraid of holding him at first as he did not want to drop her but once she was in his arms, tugger was smitten right away. this little girl had stolen his heart instantly and he would already die for her.

the man also teared up a bit holding kiki, although he was much too proud to admit to this fact. tugger was also having a hard time giving kiki over to misto as he did not want to stop holding her. but he eventually gave her over to misto. 

misto looked down at kiki as tugger reluctantly put her in his arms and he smiled. kiki was certainly adorable. she was cute in the picture that munkustrap had sent the entire family in their group chat but seeing her in person was different. it was much more special. 

it would be nice to be an uncle but misto was sure that he would have to reign tugger in as he had a very strong feeling that tugger was going to spoiling the hell out of this little girl.

seeing his family hold kiki showed munkustrap that she would have a family that would love her unconditionally . and he could tell that she had stolen their hearts already. 

alright that is part 78! let me know what you guys thought and i will see you all for part 79!!

My Cats OC Part 20

part 19- https://scorpiofangirl1109.tumblr.com/post/645330549840510976/my-cats-oc-part-19

hi everyone! this is part 20 in my cats oc series about my oc kiki! hard to believe i have reached 20 parts in my series! 

this update will be shirt but it will be about the family tree for kiki in the human au version. obviously this is based around my own oc and my own headcanons. so this will be based on my own thoughts and headcanons for my oc. also these headcanons for some of the family are only applicable here 

i thought it would be interesting to do a family tree for kiki in the human au universe. 

so obviously kiki is munkustrap’s daughter and her biological mother is named graciette. but i will not include graciette’s family as they are not involved in kiki’s life. 

on munkustrap’s side of the family she has her father of course. but she also has her father’s younger brother the rum tum tugger, who mainly goes by tugger. kiki of course adores her uncle tugger so much. and her uncle tugger is married mistoffelees. kiki can't remember a time where mistoffelees and tugger weren’t together. so misto has been in her life for as long as kiki can remember and she adores her uncle misto as well. she thinks her uncles are the best. in addition to her uncles she has her parental grandparents, grizabella and deuteronomy. kiki is close them and she calls her grandmother grammy grizzy and simply calls her grandfather grandpy as she ahs trouble with his full name. in addition  she has her grandmother’s sister, jellylorum. although she is technically kiki’s great aunt, she calls jellylorum her nanny jelly as she is like a bonus grandmother to her. 

kiki has a stepmother named demeter. but demeter has bene in kiki’s life since she was a baby and the only mother kiki has ever known. so demeter is much more like an adoptive mother. especially as she does legally adopt kiki as her daughter when kiki is six years old. so kiki simply sees demeter as her mother and calls her mama. so demeter’s extended family is family to her as they have been in kiki’s life for as long as she can remember. 

luckily for kiki,  her mama’s family was very quick to welcome he into the family and quickly became family.  and on demeter’s side of the family she has her aunt bombalurina whom she calls aunt bomba. kiki adores her aunt bomba and she often gets to go do fun things with her mama and auntie bomba which she adores, especially if it is fun girl stuff. then there are demeter’s parents, jennyanydots and skimbleshanks. they have always been very supportive of demeter and munkustrap’s relationship so they were quick to warm up to kiki. she calls jenny her granny jenny and skimbleshanks her grandpa skimbles. 

kiki loves her family so much and wouldn't ask for another family

alright that is it for now! this may be updated in the future but i am pretty happy with the family tree. let me know what you guys think!

Can I please request a drabble of exhausted new dad Tugger and fussy inconsolable baby Hestia where Tugger learns the song “a million dreams” calms her down and puts her to sleep? Please and thank you💖

BABIES BABIES BABIES

(@queencurlycrown and @kineticjellyfish because you two were waiting for this as well XD)

“Come on, princess, it’s time for bed.” Tugger said as he swayed back and forth, attempting to calm a sobbing Hestia, who had woken up in the middle of the night. 

She was teething, which was doubly hard for Tugger and Mistoffelees, as it meant that their baby girl was getting older, and that she would be getting less sleep because of it.

Hestia continued to cry, her little face scrunched up and red, her cheeks wet with tears as she fisted Tugger’s undershirt in her tiny hands. 

Tugger sighed, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead as he fought away a yawn. “Alright, let’s go downstairs and see what we can do.”

It had been four months since Serafina had passed away, and there were still things of hers strewn about that neither Tugger nor Mistoffelees had the heart to move. 

One such thing was her blanket, the one she had used all throughout her pregnancies, so Tugger picked it up off the couch and swaddled Hestia up. The little girl paused briefly as she was wrapped in the soft fabric, and a new smell hit her. 

It was warm, comforting, but not like her daddy or her papa. 

This was something else.

Tugger felt a flash of triumph, but saw Hestia’s face beginning to screw up again, and he frantically thought, glancing around the room. He spotted a small toy carousel, and a lightbulb went off in his head.

“There's a house we can build. Every room inside is filled with things from far away.” he began to sing quietly, and Hestia looked up at him, her blue eyes wet with tears. Tugger smiled down with her, beginning to spin around the room as he sang. ”The special things I compile, each one there to make you smile on a rainy day.”

Hestia’s cries now became whimpers as she listened to Tugger, and he nuzzled his nose into her red curls with a small smile. 

“They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy.” he continued, keeping his voice quiet. “They can say, they can say we've lost our minds.”

“Dance with me, Sera!”

“Tugger Deuteronomy-Jones, I am seven months pregnant!”

“So?”

“You are insane if you think you’re spinning me around!”

“I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy! Runaway to a world that we design!”

“How do you put up with him, Misto?”

“It’s a daily struggle, Sera, trust me.”

“Hey!”

“That’s Mama’s song.”

Tugger whirled around at the quiet voice, and his smile grew when he saw Hades standing there, the small boy rubbing his eyes tiredly. 

“You should be in bed, Roo.” Tugger said gently, sitting down on the couch and beckoning Hades closer. 

The boy walked forward and climbed into Tugger’s lap, careful not to disturb a half-asleep Hestia, whose small body still shook with the occasional quiet sob.

“Mama sang that song a lot.” Hades said again as he snuggled into Tugger’s chest.

Tugger nodded. “She did, Roo. Etta wouldn’t calm down, so I think your mama’s song helped her quite a bit.”

Hades made a small, content sound as Tugger hugged him close. “Can you keep singing, Daddy?”

“Anything for my kiddos.” Tugger replied, his voice barely above a whisper. “Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. A million dreams are keeping me awake.”

Only a few towns over, a woman was sitting beside a small bed, hugging her own two children close in a tiny apartment, and she sang to them as well, rocking the little girl and little boy back and forth.

“I think of what the world could be, a vision of the one I see.” she sang softly, kissing her daughter’s forehead. “A million dreams is all it's gonna take.”

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

How about this for a headcanon: munkustrap is a single dad and protecter for the kittens and called jemima “my precious flower?

hoooooo boy my heart

okay here would be my ideas for that headcanon:

- After Demeter and Bombalurina rum off with Macavity, Munkustrap is heartbroken.

- He ends up meeting a queen about a year after, and they begin to see each other more frequently.

A few months later, the queen shows up at the Junkyard with a little kitten in her arms and hands her off to Munkustrap, saying that she never intended for things to be so serious and that she didn’t want the kitten. 

Munkustrap, of course, is freaking out, but he wants to raise the kitten and keep her.

Tugger is elated at the thought of being an uncle, and he, Alonzo, Cassandra, and Misto privately agree that Munkustrap won’t be alone in raising the kitten. 

- Munkustrap calling her his precious flower never fails to make Jemima feel loved and wanted. 

She wasn’t meant to hear it, but she knows about her mother leaving her with Munkustrap, as well as Demeter up and leaving with Macavity.

So yes, Jemima is angry with Demeter and Bombalurina, as well as her mother.

However, Jemima knows that her Uncle Tugs has Uncle Misto now and that her daddy has her, and that’s all that matters. 

Tugger calls her Poppy and MIsto calls her Spark

- Before Demeter and Bombalurina return to the tribe, there are a few attacks by Macavity.

As soon as the first one happened, Munkustrap made sure to get all the kittens to safety. 

Becoming a dad gave him a new need to protect the kittens, so he had Tugger and Misto take them to their den to keep them safe. 

After the attack, he didn’t let Jemima out of his sight, not that she wanted to leave.

- Munkustrap also makes sure that there is an adult watching the kittens at all times since kittens are easily distracted.

- When Demeter and Bombalurina returned, Jemima didn’t like Demeter. Not at all. And Munkustrap, to the queen’s surprise, was also hesitant around her and wouldn't let her be near Jemima without himself, Tugger, Alonzo, Cassandra, or Misto present, the same going for the other kittens. 

Demeter tried to talk to Jemima a few times but was always stopped by one of the five swooping in and catching Jemima’s attention and pulling her away.

Jemima doesn’t like Demeter for two reasons. The first one is because of what she did to Munkustrap, leaving him a breaking his heart. The second reason is because Jemima is scared. She knows how much Munkustrap loves Demeter, and she’s afraid that she’s going to be replaced.

Munkustrap, however, knows his precious flower better than he knows himself, and within the first two weeks of Demeter and Bombalurina’s return, he sits Jemima down and tells her that, although Demeter was back and he still had feelings for her, Jemima would always be his number one queen, and that nothing could ever replace her. 

- Once Munkustrap and Demeter began to slowly grow closer one again, Munkustrap said the same to Demeter, letting the queen know that Jemima would always be his top priority and his greatest love. 

- It still takes a while for Jemima to warm up completely to Demeter. She’s hesitant about her since she’s just as protective of her dad.  

Jemima gives Demeter a shovel talk, and Tugger thinks it’s the most amazing thing in the entire world, and Jemima’s now his hero.

Jemima does end up becoming closer to Demeter, but she and Munkustrap have a very close and special bond. 

- During the Ball, when Macavity attacked and Grizabella showed up, Munkustrap didn’t want Jemima near either of them, which is why Skimble kept guiding her away, and Jellylorum stopped her from touching Grizabella. 

It’s also the reason why, after “Memory”, Munkustrap decides to accept his mother. Seeing his daughter accept the old cat quicker than she had accepted Demeter had surprised Munkustrap, but he didn’t question his daughter. 

basically, Munkustrap and Jemima are dad/daughter goals and munkustrap loves his little girl very much
