When I’m talking about Demon!Mistoffelees, I hope you all know I’m talking, like, Erwin Schrott playing Mephistopheles, “ostensibly insouciant and yet the malevolence beneath the surface was always apparent”; Samuel Ramey popping balloons and smoking on stage mid aria for the dramaTM; “Omniscient am I not; yet much is known to me."; “In the end, you are exactly--what you are. Put on a wig with a million curls, put the highest heeled boots on your feet, yet you remain in the end just what you are.”

Like literal Mephistopheles but in cat form.

#extemporize back chat #i'm not talking a cryptid i'm talking literal servant of the devil as cats were often characterized as #i'm talking grand flourish 'Stop making love to your misery It eats away at you like a vulture!#'I come a squire of high degree In scarlet coat with golden trimming #don't underestimate me just wait and see what i can do!#benevolence and mischief #makes things dance for the amusement of others - creates a big show of *not sure if i can do this SYKE of course i can do this*#appears as something benign and palatable #and like...respected #because even the devil knows when to stay his hand and step away #the cats often whisper about him when he's gone in hopes perhaps he'll appear #reasoning be damned #because no one is ever really *sure* why he's around - *he* often has no idea why he is #until he eventually does #like i am not even talking about a *specific* misto because i know that the fandom likes to toss cryptid on timothy scott #i am talking about mistoffelees period #if he's a kitten he's one that is acting that part *really well* but you blink and suddenly those big eyes #are not so innocent anymore
