Cats (1998) But it’s Realistic

[just-before-dawn]

its been trending on twitter i had to bring it here too

[cillyscribbles]

my modern!cats au giving me, an avid non-smoker, thoughts about smoking and self image, of all things. i will put them under the cut, but meanwhile! enjoy this 1. shameless illustration of my own fic 2. tugger not quite loving the makeup (or costuming) of his poet-murderer role. (yes a local staging of roberto zucco changed my life, very nice of you to ask!)

so smoking bad etc etc don't smoke. anyway, all three brothers deuteronomy smoke, or at least have smoked for large chunks of their lives, albeit for wildly different reasons and standpoints.

munkustrap's been smoking since middle school, his start more or less aligning with the time period when old deuteronomy falls sick, grizabella ramps up her work, and munkustrap, at the ripe old age of maybe 14, starts managing the household and finances and whatnot.

he wishes he'd never started smoking, don't get me wrong. he wishes the relief of the thing wasn't worth it. he quits and starts again throughout the years, over and over and over, climbing into the third decade of the habit without being able to break it, never moving past the numbed feeling of failure for it. it's the one crack you'll occasionally catch in that aged picture of constant steadfastness and responsibility he's got going on.

to be unable to handle it all feels to him as good as giving up entirely. he smokes behind the school. he puts away the ashtrays when he has guests over. he doesn't like smoking with company, and he hates his shame being made known. if you'll allow me a pretentious second, it's sort of like an upward climb that he wants to take on alone so nobody else sees him stumble, and no one helps him if he twists an ankle. it's fine by him because he needs to be able to handle it himself. he needs to.

so. all this, versus tugger, who started well into adulthood and barrelled into it full and consciously. tugger, who smokes to replace sleep and sanity when his life runs on cigarettes and caffeine. but nothing more. he doesn't care to quit, he doesn't care to change. cigarettes look good between his fingers. he knows how to hold them pretty, like he knows everything else about himself that builds the picture he wants.

and, on a more interpersonal level, it upsets him that munkustrap is so acutely ashamed of it, the same way munkustrap is upset tugger is so casual about it. to some degree, though, i think that's because tugger's entirely hyperaware of how fragile life is and on how small a technicality shit can go sideways and end up killing him or anyone else. it's hard for him not to think about it. but it gives him some sort of strength to look for morbid humour in the things munkustrap wouldn't let himself laugh at, i think. it's gallows humour, to be fair, but it's good humour to tugger nonetheless. he finds stakes if not thrilling then certainly intriguing.

besides, making any sort of change to himself for other people, to tugger, is like betraying himself. he's built up that resistance to outside influence, and he's built it up hard and total. he doesn't mold, he doesn't bend, he'll do and look and say whatever he wants, he associates seeking validation strictly with misery. he doesn't understand munkustrap's frustration, or desire to please people, nor does he want to.

the thing with how tugger is, i think, is that he's just prodded at enough for both the street culture he grew up in and the inclination towards self-preservation of someone visibly queer to mesh together into something that can be spectacular and unmovable, and sometimes still turn ugly. i think curiosity is easy to push into cruelty with tugger.

shame is easy to mock for someone who's overcome it and tries hard to forget how insidious it can be. i think both munkustrap and tugger can be cruel to each other without wanting to and without really transgressing toward each other in a way that would dent their relationship, primarily because it's such a strong relationship but also because they're used to some sort of cruelty from the world at least, they just know better where to hit each other verbally to mess each other up. so. self-control, boys. comes to one of them easier than the other, LOL. and again, don't get me wrong. tugger doesn't want to be cruel to munkustrap, but it's not always a thing he can push away the instinct for. munkustrap doesn't want to be cruel to tugger, but he's been making hard decisions for ages and all but expects someone to be hurt by the end of it, and tugger is manageable. so. damn

The top 3 are all Mr Mistoffelees, bottom left is of course Skimble and bottom right is Tugger messing with yarn. I do not know who is the bottom middle as I do not own this book yet, if it is even one of the named characters

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

A couple of my (admittedly numerous at this point, we're on page 2) Tuggoffelees doodles.

I think I need to draw misto more

[chasing-posts]

Woot! Just wrote a Tugoffelees fic start to finish. It's just a first draft but the fact I finished writing it after not writing for so long feels good!

[wooyoungisbaby]

Ateez as Cats the musical characters. sorry

EDIT: i fuckin used a pic of Demeter instead of Bombalurina. Seonghwa is meant to be Bombalurina hjnshjfd

names under the cut 

Mingi: Rum Tum Tugger Yunho: Mr. Mistoffelees San: Munkustrap Seonghwa: Bombalurina Hongjoong: Macavity Yeosang: Mungojerrie Wooyoung: Rumpleteazer Jongho: Grizabella

Seonghwa could also for sure have been Grizabella, especially if i'd made Jonghoong be Old Deuteronomy, which i did debate. But I thought it was funnier this way, and Bombalurina *does* canonically wanna fuck Macavity, so there's that.

Yunho could also totally have been Skimbleshanks lol<3 but i wanted to make him shippable with Mingi/Rum Tum Tugger, which Mr Mistoffelees definitely is.

Woosan Mungojerrie/Rumpleteazer would also have been really cute, but San is so perfect for Munkus :(((

Yeosang would also make a very cute Jemima :'))

i have. a lot of thoughts about Cats the musical

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here, as requested, are Honorable mentions, in no particular order (some less honorable than others), with their reasons for exclusion:

Mikeko (Ace Attorney): Apparently Apollo's cat but as far as I can tell it was only mentioned not shown, you've got other cats in

Any of the playable cats (Catlateral Damage): yeah I'm not even digging into that I mean I tried but naaaah (not to sound lazy but if it doesn't have a good wiki page I'm not doing it sorry I've had this many cats to dig through; I did save the game to check out in my own time tho so cudos for that)

Tasque Manager (Deltarune): not cat enough

Doraemon (Doraemon ): if only this thing had cat ears... or a cat tail... preferably both... I get that it's a robot but it could be a lot of animals honestly

Lizzie (Empires Smp): whomst (if what I found is what was meant then it's a fish not cat)

Kitty Cheshire (Ever After High): not cat enough

Nepeta Lejiom (Homestuck): not sure she's cat at least ENOUGH if at all, don't know enough about homestuck, owner of Pounce who is in anyway (entry said they're sorry lmao)

Schrödinger (Időfutár): "Time-travelling cat" I have failed in finding their picture and it seems too niche to be presented without it even though I am so intrigued and regret I don't know the language of the source material I'd love to give it a read/listen

Revolver Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid): Compares himself to ocelots and meows apparently, but no visible cat aesthetic sorry

Raku-chan (Nyan Neko Sugar Girls ): why.

Aisha Clan-Clan (Outlaw Star): not enough cat

Honey the Cat (Sonic the Hedgehog): that's enough cats from sonic (real reason: model so low-poly she would cut her opponents, and before you argue - there's a difference between pixel models and low-poly old games models)

The song pet cheetah twenty one pilots concept album lore: oof yeah um I get what a concept album is kinda buuut it's just a weird entry idk we've got plenty of fandom cats to go around

Gaetan (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt): Witcher from school of cat but he's still well pretty much human (don't come at me about witchers not being the same as humans he's not a CAT and that's all that matters to me)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What's next?

Well, I have to make the bracket itself. As you can see, there's a bit more cats than I was intending to have, which means that certain polls in round 1 will have more than just two options. I can already tell you that a lot of the cats from the same fandoms are going to be eliminated in round one. That's why I kept them in. I'm planning on making up the first round match ups based heavily on the similarities between cats and the fandoms they're from. ALSO as you've probably noticed, some cats come in a bundle. That's because they're a family. I'm not doing this to Kitty Softpaws and Puss (at least YET), because even though they also get married in the end, there's a huge gap in their submission numbers. If you're wondering, how big, you may want to know that up to Tigger from Winnie the Pooh (that is, almost the entire first pic) are the cats that got 2+ submissions, in their order of popularity.

Next step - brackets!!! I want to do this well and I hope I don't underestimate certain fandoms!!!

[hum-tittle]

So I've just started Baldur's Gate 3 and I don't get why so many people like let alone thirst after Astarion???

Like the first time you meet him he tries to kill you.

Then the first night of camp he tries to drink your blood without asking, and if you then give him permission

He kills you and doesn't revive you????

Killing me on accident I can accept but not reviving me when it's super easy??

Then, if you punch him he has the audacity to tell you to

"Not get carried away"

Sir, you murdered me, I get to punch your dumb face.

Also, he sounds like a posh* British Rum Tum Tugger.

(Edit: Rum Tum Tugger is also British and I literally just realized that because someone pointed out lmao)

I'll update you all how I feel for him. But currently he's my least favorite companion.

Also, please, no spoilers if you comment/reblog :)

[tommyssupercoolblog]

Guys I have to draw Dan and Phil as Mister Mistoffolees and Rumtumtugger in the morning. I have to actually . It's late and I wanted to go to bed and hour ago but forgor, so not right now, but IN THE MORNING. I have to make them real

Phil will be Misto because he's the only one I can picture saying "Presto! :D ✨" unironically and Dan will be Tugger because he already has questionable fashion choices and I think that leather fur jumpsuit thing from the 1998 production would not be out of the question for him

Edit: HOW COULD I FORGET. DANIEL "PHIL TRASH #1" HOWELL WOULD ABSOLUTELY SING AN ENTIRE SONG HYPING PHIL UP HE'S ABSOLUTELY RUM TUM TUGGER

The extremely specific group of people that likes both cats the musical and Dan and Phil are going to love this

[longlivethedragons]

Ok I’ve got it up now! You can watch the video here

- https://www.tumblr.com/longlivethedragons/768980028895707136/cats-1998-but-its-realistic

If there are any Cats fans out there, I made a very stupid video that you might enjoy. lol

( all footage comes from Cats 1998 )

[evilmisto]

3 and 15?

Hii :D

3. Fav replica costume: Joey Kummert as Mistoffelees in casts 6, 9, 11, and 15 of Oasis of the Seas! I just think he’s cute hehe

15. Onstage pet peeves: idk that I have any... this might not count but I hate when Grizabella’s actors take her to be some bitchy old lady. Because she is an old lady but she’s not a bitch, she’s just miserable and desperate to be accepted

edit: ACTUALLY NO I HATE WHEN MISTO’S ACTORS MAKE HIM STAND THERE AND GO “t-the rum tum tugger is a t-terrible bore!! 🥺🥺🥺” HES A BITCH LET HIM BE A BITCH

[per-the-jellicle-magician]

Cats Warsaw Merch

Aka all the Cats Warsaw merch things that I've found, at least so far

Starting with the stuff that I actually own:

CD Album

It's a highlights album containing 14 of the songs, sang by the main singing part of the cast, which mainly results in that some parts go to different people than later on stage, including Mistoffelees' part in "Mr M" being sang by the actor playing Victor (he does sing it as Misto). Also some of the songs in their arrangements are sounding closer to OBC than to how they would later sound on stage (mainly Jellicle Ball and Mr M).

The little booklet contains some basic information about the show, the songs included and the cast, as well as a few photos from the recording of the album

It was recorded in November 2003 and published/available for purchase with the premiere of the show on Jan 10, 2004

Programme

I got actually 2 of those, from 2004 and 2007. They are almost identical (only differences are ads and a bracket indicating one of the sponsors died by 2007). The actually different things are the cast inserts, both in the cast as well as the general formatting and rehearsal photos included

More photos of the 2004 version here

Book

Once again I have 2 of those, one came to me in its original protective sleeve and i'm keeping it safely tucked away. The other one is by now ever so slightly falling apart from how many times I've read it XD

The book contains interviews with: the set, costume and make up designers, the translator and some notes from the choreographers and cast members. It also includes quite a few photos (most of them from rehearsals) as well as fragments of song lyrics, some of the character descriptions and other general information about the show and its production

It was published in November 2004

Stuff that I know about from photos

Posters

I have a few such photos from a promo event for the CD album where people could get cds and posters, get them signed and there was face painting and some other activities including learning how to be a cat or smth

Umbrellas

This premiere photo is the only one that I got

A cup and a saucer

This is the only picture I have of it, and I am honestly not sure if it was actually sold or if it was custom made, but I'm gonna count it anyway

Pens

I don't actually have a photo of any, BUT the plaque over this lady's shoulder says "Długopis KOTY" aka "Pen CATS", and at this point that's all that I got (also there are CD albums on the top shelf)

Repertoire brochure

Distributed most likely sometime in December 2003, given it advertises the premiere and all the preview shows. Cats Warsaw had in total 6 preview shows, and it also had 2 premieres

The repertoire is for January and Febuary 2004, aka the original planned run of the show

Calendar

This is the only photo I have of it, possibly for June or July page, and curiously enough the same photo can be found in the Warsaw book, on Demeter's page. This suggests at least some other portrait photos from the book were originally taken for this calendar

Not merch but I thought they should be included

Cats Warsaw documentary "Ujarzmić Koty" ("The taming of Cats")

Making of Cats Warsaw, which included some of the musical's history and the director's history with it; some interviews with the cast, mainly Damian Aleksander (Munkustrap), Ewa Lachowicz (Demeter), Grzegorz Suski (Macavity), Jakub Szydłowski and Paweł Podgórski (both Rum Tum Tugger); rehearsal, backstage and premiere footage

It had its premiere on December 20, 2004

2005 edition of the Poems (that I do own)

2005 edition of "Old Possum's" translated by Stanisław Barańczak, simply titled "Koty" ("Cats")

The only tie it has to the musical is the fact that the cover photo is a very edited fragment of a rehearsal photo featured in the middle spread of the programme mentioned in the beginning of this list

It's Tantomile plus Etcetera's leg

[namorian]

If there’s not a rum tum tugger cat king edit i’m going to riot
