Tumbletta for the dream cast thingy :>

EASY PEASY THEY’RE IN MY BRAIN 24/7

Kade Hughes and Georgina Pazcoguin my beloveds

It’s literally no secret that Kade is my favorite Tumblebrutus. He just embodies everything I love about the character, his design, his dancing, his personality, just absolutely everything. I love him so so much, and every single time I think of Tumblebrutus, or I imagine him while writing, it’s always Kade’s Tumble.

And Georgina is just… she’s one of my favorite Cats actresses overall, and the video of her performing the Conjuring Turns during that one performance when Ricky was injured pretty much cemented her as my dream casting for Hestia because the Conjuring Turns become one of Hestia’s signature moves, just like her papa! The way she’s so graceful, her interpretations of Victoria’s character, I just know she would be the most perfect choice for my girl.

And the two of them together just 😭 i know they’d do Tumbletta the justice they deserve

"mary's song (oh my my my)" by taylor swift is THE tumbletta song, it is THE childhood friends to lovers anthem, the two of them being best friends and slowly falling in love after tumble moves back to the neighborhood and reunites with hestia

"i believe in you, tumble."

"you do?"

Hi just wanna say first off that Tumbletta is 👌

I’ve been in a Lizadora mood as of late so I will blabber off info about her and some crossover w your Oc’s:

When Grizabella left, she sort of took over her duties as Old D’s mate. While she and Deut don’t love each other like that, Liz wasn’t about to let the Tribe go into shambles because Griz wasn’t there to organize certain things or help with the kittens. She also took over in mothering the Deuteronomy Brothers for the remainder of their childhoods, something that may have accidentally contributed to Macavity’s evil because he felt like everyone was forgetting about his real Mother super fast.

I feel like Munkustrap and Tugger definitely view Lizadora as a mother figure, they looked to her for support when Mac turned dark and they probably asked for her blessing alongside Old Deut’s when they found their mates.

Despite having some form of gigantism (Maine Coon genetics baby) and generally being very bulky, she’s nearly just as graceful as other Jellicles. She’s usually at the bottom of the pyramid or the one to lift cats up, though.

She is absolutely in love with Hestia when Tugger and Misto bring her back. She always wanted a granddaughter to spoil, and you’d best believe she spoils Hestia and all the other grandkids rotten. All the kittens see Auntie Liz as a big playground because...she is, so she’s very popular for their roughhousing games and such.

I feel like Tumbles was initially terrified to face Lizadora when he and Hestia started courting, literally just because lady is massive and v protective of her fam. But nah she didn’t intimidate him or anything she just broke his back in a “welcome to the family!” Bear hug.

When Grizabella went to the heaviside layer, Lizadora was the last one sitting that night, just staring at the stars and hoping her sister finally got the happiness she wanted.

i'm CRYING liz my beloved <3

Hestia would ADORE her Auntie Liz, their size difference is making me emotional bc can you imagine???? big fluffy Liz with little tiny kitten Hestia tucked away in her fur?????

There's a field a little ways away from the Junkyard, an area that's clear of any junk or trash. There's a small stream that sometimes runs through it, and in the springtime, wildflowers bloom all around, creating a sweet, soft place to rest. Tumblebrutus likes taking Hestia to the field whenever one of them gets overwhelmed or they just want to spend time together. It's their spot, a place where they can cuddle, talk, or take naps in the sun.

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

"A perfect happy ending, that's how it should be!"

in which Tumblebrutus, Hestia, and Pouncival look up at the same moon, and imagine what life could be if things were different, if they were together as a team once more, if Tumblebrutus came home...

it's DONE OH MY GOD

this hasbeen an idea stirring in my head since i made this post a little while ago, and i've been listening to "who i'd be" pretty much nonstop since then lmao.

i'm planning on writing a companion short for this, but for now, i'm just so happy with how this turned out!!

demestrap, casslonzo and tumblexhesita who take the longest showers

Demestrap:

Munkustrap takes super long showers near the end of the week, because it's his wind-down time, when he just gets to sit and take a few deep breaths!

Casslonzo:

Cassandra, esp. when it's a hair-washing day for her. Plus, I just feel like she'd be the type of person to have at least a twelve step shower routine, and honestly i love that for her

Tumbletta:

Hestia, ESPECIALLY when she and Tumblebrutus get their own place. the poor girl had to share a bathroom with six other girls and never got time for a nice, long shower

however, if it's around dance show season, they both take very long showers because the hot water helps their muscles relax after a day of dancing!

Happy anniversary to Hestia, the oc that brought us together and was the start of a beautiful friendship ❤ For the questions, what parts of Hestia's character have you changed since creating her? What is your favorite headcanon regarding her and her dads, along with Tumble and Jojo?

always grateful to hestia and jubilee for bringing us together <3

Hestia's changed quite a bit over the past three years, and this year really feels like the time where all the pieces fell into place and she felt like a completed character!

When i first started creating her, she barely had any magic, and the only actual characteristics she had were "shy and macavity's daughter". i also, when i first created her, paired her up with Pouncival! This was because Hestia was based off of another OC i had made for a crossover fic, so it was really just taking that character and making her into a Cats OC

i mean, now, my girl has a WHOLE lot more to her!! i actually gave her specific magical abilities, which then ofc gives her a lil internal conflict about her parentage and everything!! she's also got a lovely little host of siblings that she's adopted bc her hugs are magic <3

her and Tumblebrutus' relationship has been my favorite thing to elaborate on and explore, especially since i've realized how perfectly they parallel Tuggoffelees! of course, i don't make them identical, but there are little bits of how i hc Tuggoffelees acting within how i write Tumbletta!

now for favorite hcs!!!!

Hestia has a little chest of drawers in her den where she keeps her gifts from Tumblebrutus. He loves finding sparkly or shiny things, like pretty rocks or beads, or little discarded piece of jewlery. he'll clean them up and bring them to Hestia with a beaming smile, and she'll tuck them away in her drawers. When Charon and Anthea are born, she takes out a few of her favorite little gifts and puts them onto collars for their kids, and it absolutely makes Tumble cry when he realizes what they are!

Hestia was the CLINGIEST little kitten. She was so spoiled by her dad and papa, because they absolutely indulged her and carried her around everywhere. It was partially because she was such a little kitten, partially because of the trauma surrounding her birth and how she was found, and partially because she was just so adorable. Tugger loved cuddling his little princess, wrapping her up in his arms and tucking her into his mane to keep her warm. Mistoffelees would curl up around her, especially if they were in the den, just tucking her against him and keeping her entertained by letting little sparkles float around her head.

Hestia and Jubilee absolutely have books that they read together! At least once a week, they go into the library together, and curl up on Jubilee's little window seat. Sometimes they read longer books together, other times they'll read shorter books, but it's their special time. They'll giggle over the characters together, point out which characters remind them of their toms or their fathers, and just enjoy each other's company. Sometimes they'll read separate books, but still stay curled up together, occasionally pointing out something to the other in their own book. They don't mind sitting in silence, because they care more about each other's company than any filler conversation <3
