To the shock of no one, queer people like escapist worlds where gender doesn’t matter and people just vibe while surrounded by scrapped retro kitsch and living as a cat

Sometimes Mungojerrie can get philosophical:

"I wanna say as a fan of this show, as part of the fan base. Meeting other like Jellicle fans at the stage door truly was such a highlight of the experience for me. Because I am very fortunate to have toured a lot over the past ten years. And there is something about the Cats fans, it was mostly queer kids who like felt some kind of like whole and identity and safety with these characters. Because you know as a queer person myself I love it because gender doesn't exist in this world, it's felinity."

Cats Footlight Production 2008

I do so love stumbling across a new non-replica of my favorite musical.

It apparently took place from January 27 to Febuary 11 2008 in Geelong (I think in Ausralia?) according to one of the above articles.

Do we all not just want to be Cats?

The UK/International Tour 2017 answers that with a resounding yes!

Top 5 favorite characters dynamics? In movie, fanfic, book, whatever... Lol

(This is in no particular order)

Happy and Peter P. from the MCU but kinda more accurately from my mindstories fryeihudw. Happy is traumatized Peter's Safe Person in a special way no one else can compare to. I really should talk about my mindstories about this. Anyway, Happy is an uncle/father figure to Peter and is very protective of him. Peter trusts Happy completely and while he knows that he's much stronger than Happy, there's still a feeling of safety that comes from Happy being near.

Steve and Robin from Stranger Things. I usually have little to no interest in the concept of platonic soulmates but these 2 are the exception, idk how I ended up so invested in their relationship. I have quite a focus on not-platonic shipping in fandom and I have such ships for these 2 as well but none are as important to me as their relationship with each other.

Tony and Peter P./Quentin and Peter P. from the MCU. This might be cheating but these are so intertwined with each other in my head I felt like they belonged in the same slot. Tony's importance to Peter, Peter being one of the few people who don't constantly treat Tony like shit and genuinely loves him, all of him. Tony inventing time travel basically just for Peter, with the billions of other Snapped people being a bonus. There's a bit of obsession inherently there on both sides and I love that. And Quentin preying on those feelings, placing himself in Tony's role, filling that empty space left by Tony's death. Really ensnaring Peter and making him emotionally attached (faking a near-death experience that parallels Tony dying as Peter helplessly watches, that is so beautifully fucked up.) Quentin getting more attached to Peter than he planned to. But it's not a redemption, it's a dark obsession.

Slade and Robin from Teen Titans 2003. On the topic of dark obsessions. I'm just recently rediscovering this show but holy heck do these 2 have a dynamic. A two-way obsession that causes the hero to blur morals more and that's exactly what the villain wants. Slade was such a huge focus for Robin, he'd cover his room with news and info on Slade. I feel like Robin probably had an unexpected... emptiness in him when Slade died. The way Robin still keeps a Slade-dedicated box after Slade's death? 👌

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer/Mungojerrie and Demeter from Cats the musical. Another kind of cheating one but they feel connected in my brain regfyidwhu. Mungojerrie discovering love and caring through Rumpleteazer. Rumpleteazer discovering freedom and (kind paradoxically) independence through Mungojerrie. And for Demeter, Mungojerrie's the one who has seen her at her worst but was her one source of comfort and companionship during most of her stay in Macavity's tribe (other than Macavity himself who was both comfort and threat.) They have a similar level of devotion to one another as Mungo also has with Rumple. Demeter has a lot of trust in Mungojerrie and Mungojerrie will always look out for her and her kittens.

Day 19 of Cats-pril - swag bag! @storyweaverofgondor you know I gotta write the coricojerrie, tis my curse! Also on Ao3 here.

..

Teazer giggled as Mungojerrie shoved another sapphire brooch into their swag bag. Jerrie only half-heartedly shushed her. These humans were stupid, leaving a window on the latch was basically an open invitation to Victoria Grove’s best Cat-burglar duo. The more pretty things he could nab, the better, it would make his choice of gift later on easier. Or harder? Maybe harder. But more options was a good thing, only the best would do, after all.

“Does he even like jewellery?” Rumpleteazer snorted as she looped a new string of pearls around her neck.

“He likes fancy rocks! These are extra sparkly fancy rocks,” Jerrie argued. True, he had never seen Coricopat wear any jewellery, but he had seen him sneak past a large sleeping pollicle once to pull a keyring with a green stone off an unsuspecting human’s handbag. His blatant disregard for the rules of ownership had made Jerrie giddy. It turned out the stone was a crystal called “Aventurine”, and it was lucky and had something to do with your heart chakra. This was something that Jerrie had, apparently. Cori was wonderfully weird and Jerrie loved him. 

“Oh yeah, him and Tantomile do magic stuff with crystals, right?”

“Mystic stuff, yeah.” Cori’s den was full of shiny stones he had collected. He said all of them had different uses. Jerrie had no hope of remembering which ones did which, but whenever he was out and he saw a nice rock now, he would pick it up for Cori. It was yet to make Cori fall in love with him though, so now Jerrie was upping the ante and getting him gemstones. 

“Is there a difference?” Teazer asked, tilting her head as she looked at him.

“According to Cori, yes, but he wouldn’t expect a non Magical or Mystical Cat to see it.”

“Cool. I still think the gemstones would make better jewellery for my beautiful neck, but whatever.”

“Oho?” Jerrie hummed. “You’ve shoved a bunch of diamonds in the bag tonight, and you never wear diamonds. Whose neck are they for, a certain white Cat?”

Teazer flushed scarlet and Jerrie cackled.

“Shut it!” she snapped. “At least I don’t forget how to make basic sentences when I’m talking to her!”

It was Jerrie’s turn to blush now. It was incredibly annoying, how he always got so tongue-tied when Cori was around. Impressing him would be hard enough even if he didn’t.

“At least I’m not being out-flirted by Plato!” he squawked. Teazer scowled.

“At least I don’t fear for my life every time I see Tantomile!”

Jerrie laughed at that. It was true. Cori didn’t seem to notice that Jerrie was in love with him, but Tantomile certainly had. In his defence, it was a very sensible thing to be scared of Tantomile.

“I’m not stupid enough to not be scared of Tantomile!”

“Thank the Everlasting for that,” Teazer snickered. “She can be terrifying.”

“Now try being in love with her twin, and having her not like you!”

“For real, Jer, I think she’s just worried you’re not serious, which you have to admit is fair enough.”

“It is,” Jerrie whined, “but I am.”

Teazer smiled genuinely at him, hopping over to nuzzle him.

“I know, that's why it’s so fun to tease you about! And I know you get nervous, which makes you talk even more crap than normal, but isn’t it a bigger deal that Cori does like you, than Tantomile doesn’t?”

“I mean, yeah, but he thinks we’re just friends!”

“Then get him on his own and ask him out, you wimp!” Teazer laughed. “He clearly likes you or he wouldn’t hang out with you.”

“It’s not that simple!” Jerrie wailed.

“Yes, it is, you’re just too scared to see it!”

“Well, how do I be not-scared, then?”

Teazer let out a long-suffering sigh.

“Jerrie, in all seriousness, do you trust me?”

“Yeah?”

“Ask him out,” she said, without any trace of a joke on her face. “I wouldn’t tell you to do it if I didn’t think he’d say yes, ok?”

“For real?”

“For real.”

“Fine, but if this blows up in my face, then I get everything in the swag bag from tonight.”

“Deal!”
