We all are used to Tugger being tall and handsome. But I've just got an idea... what if Tugger was really SMOL?

He would look so innocent and Jellicles would often confuse him for a kitten. His friends would make fun of him for how tiny he is, and Munkustrap would be kinda overprotective about him, annoying Tugger to no end. His adorable petty appearance would just remind everyone of the time he used to be a baby doing embarassing things even though he's an adult now.

But the thing is, Tugger is much closer to hell.

We all know Tugger's nature. So just imagine him being a little ball of golden fur, cheeky and flirtatious, not caring whether the object of his interest is a tom or a queen. He would just swing his hips, reminding everyone that this boy is no longer an innocent kitty but a grown up art of sin. Just imagine Misto saying "gosh you're such a bore" and Tugger would just grab him from behind, grinning, whispering "do you really think so?" while gently kissing his shoulder blade cause that's all he can reach. Imagine Bombalurina being all disdainful about him, saying he's too small to be able to properly satisfy anyone, only for Tugger to seduce her in a blink of an eye with his dirty talk and innocent sweet expressions. He may be small and tiny, but he's quite efficient when it comes to mating. He doesn't give a damn about other's opinions – actually, he quite likes proving them wrong cause it brings a whole new feeling of satisfaction. And what is definitely a benefit – he's too cute for anyone to be mad at him. He's really driving Munkustrap up the wall most of the days but whenever Munkustrap tries to confront him, Tugger just looks at him with his big golden eyes, pulling the most innocent face he's capable of, and Munkustrap just can't.

so basically Madrid Tugger?

2019 Misto headcanons

Guess what baby? It’s your turn in the spotlight!

-Unlike musical!Misto, who has a whole family unit (mama Jenny, papa Bustopher, twin Victoria) and a human owner, 2019!Misto is an orphan and a stray.

-He’s had genuine magic from a young age, and got his aesthetic from observing human stage magicians. But the jellicle cats are only familiar with two magical cats, Old Deuteronomy and Macavity. And since Misto isn’t much like either of them, most of them think that his “magician” get-up is just play acting.

-Old Deuteronomy welcomed him into the tribe with open arms, and when she found out about his magic, took him on as an apprentice. Misto adores her, but unfortunately, her advanced age means she can’t always be there for him. Still, he makes weekly visits to her vicarage for his lessons.

-Old D’s children have vastly different reactions to him. Munk knows he must have some magical ability, after all his mother took him under her wing, and she’s never wrong! But…he himself doesn’t see it, and really isn’t sure what his mother is seeing. Still, he at least tries to be patient with Misto, unlike his sister.

-Cassandra thinks of him as a clown at best, and a nuisance at worst. She’s quite protective of her tribe, and takes great pride of her heritage as a jellice. and thus, doesn’t like it when any rando off the street gets instantly let in. And while Misto is relatively harmless, she’s a bit embittered that some random stray gets so much attention from her own mother! Both she and Munk are a tad jealous of the special attention Misto gets from Old D, and hold some resentment against him for it. Their baby brother on the other hand…

-Tugger and Misto fell for each other pretty much instantly. They were both utterly dazzled by one another, became fast friends, and even faster mates. Soon after, they got a reputation of being one of the most sickengly mushy couples in the junkyard, but still, everyone found their relationship to be quite sweet. 

-Sadly though, it didn’t last. Though they loved each other dearly, Misto was clingy, Tugger was selfish, and they had rushed into things too quickly for their own good. No one’s really quite sure what happened, not even them! One minute they were in paradise, next thing they know, they’re screaming at each other and then, just like that, they were over.

-Everyone ended up taking Tugger’s side after the break-up, albeit unintentionally. Tugger, despite his attention-hog personality, was still very much the spoiled baby of the tribe. So when he stumbled in, utterly brokenhearted, everyone fussed over him, and poor Misto ended up falling by the wayside.

-The bad break-up ended up making Misto something of a pariah in the tribe. Whereas before Munk and Cass tried being patient with him, their protective instincts kicked in as soon as they saw how miserable the break-up had left Tugger, and they became more openly hostile to poor Misto. He still has friends in the tribe, but the fallout of him and Tugger caused him to be quite unpopular.

-Not only was the whole situation with Old D’s children was a HUGE blow to his confidence, but the emotional distress messed up his powers something fierce! For a while, he became convinced that everyone was right, and that Old D was wrong about him. While his kindly mentor was quick to reassure him of his power and potential, he didn’t regain his confidence until he managed to save her from Macavity during the ball.

-Speaking of the night of the ball, the reason he immediately became so fixated on Victoria is bc he sees a lot of himself on her. He knows how it is to be lost and alone, and could empathize with her quite easily. But, with the wounds from his break-up still relatively fresh, he mistook these feelings of sympathy and care for romantic affection. Thus, he jumped headfirst into pursuing this girl that he, quite obviously, doesn’t actually know all that well.

-Despite everything, he and Tugger still miss each other terribly. While Misto holds a secret hope that they’ll get back together, Tugger’s grand displays of how cool he is and how well he’s moved on have pretty much dashed that hope. (What he doesn’t know is that Tugger mainly does this in the hopes they’ll make Misto want him back.)

Anyways, that’s all for now!

OH NO

THIS WORKS TOO WELL

@uppastthejelliclemoon LOOK LOOK AT THIS, is this not absolutely perfect ‘2019 tuggoffelees exes’ headcanoning?

A new theory emerges: Mr. Mistoffelees is Macavity.

Or, rather, Macavity is Mr. Mistoffelees. He is older, after all. Now, to begin-

Is this a serious theory?

No, and please keep that in mind.

That said, let’s start with a comparison of their powers. What do we know Macavity can do? Well, he can control or freeze-in-place other cats, at least to some extent, it seems. Mr. Mistoffelees has, in turn, frozen a few cats “playfully”, and (here) is a link to him “power possessing” another cat. Most damning, what do they have most in common? If you go looking for either cat, they aren’t there!

(I would also argue that Misto’s control over light is mirrored in Macavity, making the stage red and inducing confusion, but of course who’s to say?)

Let’s look at Quaxo’s other name, now: quite similar to “Mephistopheles,” isn’t it? That’s a hint… or, is it? Is this tuxedo Jellicle actually Macavity in the flesh, doing the same thing he did to be Old Deuteronomy, or is he just some poor cat being possessed? Has Macavity broken the Three Name Rule? Truly his most hideous crime, if so.

Theoretically, let’s say it is Macavity. Why was he not caught out like he was pretending to be Old D? Well, perhaps he wanted to be caught.

What? You’ve lost the plot.

No, hear me out! Macavity knows that he will never be chosen to ascend and be reborn. Then, when he dies, how can he continue to wreak havoc? No, he needs to be chosen, but how? …A new, adorable cat, who has done a very great thing for the tribe will certainly be chosen, some day. In the mean time, he can’t help but call funny, talented cats “terrible bores”.

.... macavity is actually tiny under all that fluff, pass it on

Nothing will convince me that this isn’t Alonzo’s first time meeting Deuteronomy. The way he grabs at Gus when he first hears like “is it really him?” And Gus is like yes it is but he still stays separate and behind the rest of the group.

Ooh, interesting thought. Alonzo as perhaps the newest addition to the tribe? And therefore UNCERTAIN of his own place within it?

Well I think he got there at the same time as Demeter (and possibly bomba as well) it’s all of their first ball. But they’ve been in the tribe for at least long enough to join rehearsals for it and stuff.

But yes definitely he’s still unsure of his place in it. As is Demeter. And bomba is loyal to Demeter more than she is the rest of the tribe I think too. But she also thinks the tribe will be a good place to live and keep Demeter safe.

Bombalurina as new is an interesting thought! She’s much more confident in her ability to make a place for herself in a new group, of course, but that does lend a new light to her behaviour in Tugger’s song - playfully challenging him for a bit of the limelight and attention, still establishing that flirty rivalry between them rather than it being an ‘old friends’ sort of routine. 

Do you see all of them as having been previously involved with Macavity in some way? or Alonzo as an independent street cat who helped the girls get out, or similar? Or them all arriving aorund the same time by chance?

Alonzo pride icons

You dont have to ask to use just please like or reblog ^^

I can do any character, any fandom and any flag. Just send me a message or ask and I’ll make them ^^

ACE ALONZO 🥰

No ace Alonzo here sadly.

I can’t remember what the purple black white and yellow flag was at the moment but not ace.

… so, I just learned what the NB flag is! I mean, I’ve seen it around before and vaguely wondered whhy people were now adding yellow to the ace flag and ruining the pretty aesthetic but you can’t really complain about THE AESTHETIC if it means someone’s being included who was excluded before. But apparently it was not that. :) oh well, I can still have ace!alonzo in my head.

(he is also, of course, pan/bi. but then, all the cats are, except for the few who are just gay.)

As someone who is ace who has frequently been told that I “present myself sexually” (all men of course) I’m in full support of an Ace Alonzo.

Yes. He’s very sensual, and can also be very flirty, and I think it would take him a long time to realise that he wasn’t actually sexually attracted to anybody because because he’s been so used to thinking about himself in those terms and using ‘sexy’ as part of his self-image and presentation. But that weird haunting feeling of ‘not quite doing/feeling it right’ could definitely have contributed to the ‘uncertain’ part of his character.

(Similarly, I like to headcanon Tugger as ace, but I don’t think he’d have the same conflicts over it: he’s quite happy to be loud and sexy and playful without feeling the need to be sexual himself.)

(Also, oops sorry OP, we hijacked your post - will take it to another thread if it continues. :))

Even though Munkustrap was the one who always swore he’d protect Mungojerrie from Macavity! And in fact persuaded him that if he gave Macavity up, he could be safe, Munkustrap would die to protect him if he had to just like any other cat who was really one of THEIRS - without that, Mungojerrie never would have got the courage to leave.

And neither would Demeter - and now it seems like that’s come true and Munkustrap MIGHT have just got himself killed protecting them, and Mungojerrie just….

…. stands up.

@rainbowratsstuff @uppastthejelliclemoon

but he doesn’t just come up with a solution. He changes the entire emotional tone of the junkyard in under thirty second. He gives them exactly what they need.

He’s a storyteller too, though not in Munkustrap’s style (so possibly Munkustrap thinks he doesn’t really take it seriously).

But he sees everybody lost and bewildered and isolated and terrified (and the junkyard dark - you can take that as metaphorical or literal). And he gives them a bit of swagger and drawl, drawing them in with ‘here, come and listen to me, I am still exactly who I always am and completely unconcerned, I’ve got it all under control’, but as you say, he’s not being sexy in the same way as before: not pushing. And the tune he sets is actually very simple and almost childlike and happy - and it even contains explicit ‘audience response’ instructions! ‘Okay, you guys, now let’s all say this. It’s true, isn’t it? Yeah, you know it’s true!’

And it works. And the lights do come back on - through Mistoffelees’ magic if they’re literal lights which the cats actually need to see by, or through the ‘magic’ of both of them if we’re thinking of them as metaphorical. And the cats are bopping and swaying and singing, and of course RTT’s magic works on Mistoffelees too, until he can work up the courage (or charge up his own magic through dance or however you think it works) to do the impossible.

Rum Tum Tugger might play at being irresponsible and sometimes Munkustrap might think that’s true. He might also spend a lot of time lying around sleeping or off roving away from the yard, or lounging in inaccessible high places and looking supercilious. But he’s got emotional leadership down pat, and he can bring it out when it’s needed: a different tone and style to Munkustrap, but then, sometimes you need one and sometimes you need the other.

(As to Alonzo in a leadership role… Alonzo might step up to give direct practical instructions more often than RTT, as Munkustrap’s deputy. But I can’t see RTT ever taking orders from him - or Alonzo being an emotional and social centre in the way that Munkustrap and RTT are. I don’t think he has the imagination or the warmth for that. If Munkustrap were to be taken out of commission permanently, or absent or incapacitated for any length of time, I’m fairly sure it would be RTT who’d end up as the leader - though possibly with Alonzo still at his side.)

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer refuse to help. They sit back and laugh. Occasionally Mungojerrie does the bagpipes thing.

Listen…LiStEn…So it’s theorized that one of the reasons cats in a family group groom each other is because it maintains a scent for the family unit, right? Ok. Hear me out here. Jerrie and Teazer finally manage their way out of Macavity’s grasp. They haven’t seen their Jellicle family in what seemed like ages. They get to the Junkyard/the Railway station/Victoria Grove/wherever, and Skimble’s the one who runs into them first. And then it’s just. 72 straight hours of being groomed like they were still the tiny kittens that left because Skimble can’t lose his babies again.

GUYS THIS IS IMPORTANT

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are (in your opinion) siblings or mates?

Asking for science.

siblings

Twins!

Mates, but every owner they’ve ever had thinks their siblings, and they’re fine with letting them thinking that because it means they’re less likely to be separated when they’re inevitably gotten rid of.

We were all thinking it! yes you were don’t lie!

Eeeeehm, no xd No way. I’d never hc them as siblings and mates, sorry but that’s not the thing at all.

Personally I default to siblings but am happy to see other variants in different productions or fics. To me, they are the most important cats in each other’s lives - whatever form that takes, and whatever problems it may cause in other ways (eg, if one of them tries to form a romantic attachment with someone else and just can’t work out how you’re meant to spend that much time per day with someone who ISN’T your sibling).

Coincidentally, however, on my M&R blog just a couple of hours ago, I made this post - and formed a new headcanon.

Over the years of production, those two have been in some ways the most stable characters - and in others, the most mercurial. That is, since they’re among the few explicitly named characters and also are given a definite personality and pairing, they are far more ‘textual’ than the others, so you can track their changes - and, to fit in with different productions and interpretations, they do change. 

Cassandras and Carbuckettys and Coricopats are more anonymous and therefore, paradoxically, more stable - it doesn’t matter so much how they’re perceived, so you might as well have The Elegant Slender Cat, The Chaotic Tom Kitten, The Creepy Psychic Cat And Twin.They look good and don’t tie you down to meaning much. 

M&R change a lot but you always know who it is. They retain a very strong sense of self, a core soul, even as their appearance and behaviour (and relationship, and melody) changes.

And so they are the core candidates for my new semi-serious headcanon: that some or all of the various incarnations of cats across all these productions are just ‘a different Jellicle life’. Blond Japanese Tugger? Sure! Eldritch abomination Mistoffelees? Absolutely! Munkustrap in jorts? Bring it on! Munkustrap who’s partnered to Demeter in one life, Bombalurina in another, nobody in another, maybe even Mistoffelees or Tugger in yet another? Why not. There’s some core sense of self that remains intact, but…

… but there are two cats who can always find a way to sneak out of the Heavyside Layer before they’re quite ready for reincarnation, and who always manage to end up getting there again at the same time at the end of each life. So they’re just a little better than others at remembering what came before.

It’s a bit confusing, but they know this: they were always first and foremost in each other’s lives. Whatever their life, whatever happened and whoever they were:  whether they were calico or tabby or even just plain black. 

As a matter of fact, sometimes they still wake up at night being confused about whether they’re actually trash puppets.

And most of the time, they leave it at that. 

I absolutely love this! Honestly, it explains a lot. Everything about M&R across all the different adaptations seems to change, except one thing: they are always together. Your HC is a perfect reason why.

Personally I’m on the mates train because I watched 1998 first, and found all this. I do love the explanation that they met through Macavity and Jerrie claimed Teazer was his sister to protect her, though.

That’s an interesting take! Honestly, I can see 1998 either way - as I said, for me they’re usually siblings, but I’m happy to read other interpretations. And honestly, Drew in particular does tend to give Jo a lot of looks that play up the ‘mates’ side of things. Although, of course, the whole show has such a lot of normalised affectionate, sensual physical contact that you can absolutely pick and choose which of it to read as romantic/sexual and which as just close, familial, or friendly.

In support of the ‘pretending to be siblings’ theory, we could add the fact that the costumes they don for their solo outfits actually make them look more similar - their chorus outfits are much easier to tell apart, so you could argue that their similarity is in itself a bit of a disguise. :)

(for the record: I’m comfortable with writing them as either, but not both at once.)

My absolute FAVE Webber/Brent discrepancy (aside from ALW condensing 2 months into THREE DAYS)was the “Cats doesn’t really have a plot. You can’t give it too much plot.” Vs “Cats has such a huge plot. There’s so much.”

#the great thing about cats is both of these are true 

YES! :D

Exactly. I love it. :) And Fergus gave his opinion about a couple of character things (eg, 'Quaxo is his real name, Mistoffelees is his stage name') but Jacob didn't have a chance to respond, so who knows what his take on it is. And either is valid!

I thought up another one!

How would you guys feel about a role reversal au where Demeter is the Lead Protector and younger sibling of Mac and Munkustrap is the skittish one escaping Macavity? Because i can envision Munk being spooked by those head lights and Deme sliding into view on the car trunk and it’s gorgeous!

Also, Alonzo would trade roles with Bombalurina which would be fun!

How dare you leave such beauty in the tags!

Cats named Admetus according to London based productions, PBS and Jacob Brent

@whitmerule when was Tugger called Admetus?

https://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/cats-performance/3578/

When CATS was broadcast on PBS in 2014, John Partridge was (inncorrectly) credited as both The Rum Tum Tugger and “Admtus” or Admetus. 

Yes: Jacob didn’t say it, @the-cat-at-the-theatre-door was collecting Cats Called Admetus from a few different sources. :) 

He definely said Admetus for Frank and Tony’s characters though - but I did get the impression that when he said it about Tony’s it was a distracted slip of the tongue (saying ‘Admetus’ and meaning ‘Asparagus’, like he did earlier with ‘Munkustrap’ and ‘Macavity’), rather than a genuine mistake. After all, he did mention Frank by name when talking abotu Rumpus Cat, so it isn’t as if he was getting confused about who was under that costume.

Still. That doesn’t mean we can’t joke about the Admetus gang. :)

@queen-mischief-fanfiction

well you can’t say that and not share, @storyweaverofgondor

Well, the idea is that Humans are pretty rubbish when it comes to giving cats names generally speaking. If you were at any point a stray or even if you tend to roam, the people at every house will give you a different name. They just … aren’t very good at picking NEW ones. The cats get very excited when they hear one they haven’t been called before and claim it as their own. A “I had it first so it’s MINE!” sort of thing.

Alonzo (Who i headcanon as a stray) was the first cat to be called that and is quite smug about how fancy sounding his human given name is compared to the others. There is actually two other cats that are called Alonzo but they are forbidden to use it. (Aka Mungojerrie and Admetus/George but you didn’t hear it from me ;)

George is actually the most common name with like seven tom cats and two queens being called that. (Through the humans changed those to feminine variants after a bit Bombalurina and Etcetera will deny it to their graves)

Admetus is only the third most common name. Peter and James are tied for second.

It drives Munkustrap crazy because there are two families near the junkyard that call him James and three that call him Peter. Please ignore his license for the sake of all that is holy and Just. Call. Him. Munkustrap. Thank you very much! (It says James by the way! ;)

Oooh poor Munkustrap. I love it! But also it does make a lot of sense in the world created by the poems where they all roam around with a fair degree of freedom and probably interact with a lot of different humans, even if they do have one or two homes where thye ‘officially’ live.

And since Admetus is actually a fairly obscure mythological reference I’m going to decide this mean there’s just THAT ONE HUMAN who calls every cat they see ‘Admetus’ and this is all that human’s fault. :)

Okay so I know there's always a lot of "Mungojerrie's a male calico and that's like insanely rare omg he's so special!" in the cats fandom. But that feels so weird to me because... well let me break it down. I have two arguments:

Firstly, I want to acknowledge a theory, one that the whole "calico Mungo=calico male=super rare omg!" thing quite unfairly ignores, a very very good theory I've seen floating around occasionally, that Mungo is trans. This is an excellent theory and I love it, though I personally don't hc Mungo this way (I have my theories on who in the tribe is trans, just Mungo's not currently one of them). It would definitely explain why a male presenting Cat would have a normally female-exclusive color pattern

and here's my second argument, what if calicos are NOT exclusively born female in the universe Cats takes place in?

Hear me out

Calico is defined as a pattern consisting of at least 25%-75% white, with at least two other colors. The two other colors are typically orange/red and black, but can be brown, grey, tan, cream, gold, lilac, blue-grey, etc. (To my understanding this doesn't include darker shades of the same color as often seen in tabbies, for example an orange base with darker orange stripes in a ginger tabby)

Now let's have a look at how many male Cats fit this description:

Mungojerrie

Of course, the obvious one, with the most easily recognizable calico pattern in a fairly even distribution of orange, white, and black

Plato/Admetus (name depending on production)

Carrot top boi with black and red blotches on a white base, pictured here with actual calico for comparison

Pouncival/Carbucketty

White base, with black, brown, and sometimes rust stripes and patches

Tumblebrutus/Bill Bailey

Same story as Pounce, pictured here again with actual calico

Macavity

This one depends on the particular production's costume, but in quite a few, including the 1998 video, he's got enough white to quality as well as black and gold stripes and sometimes patches on a mostly red base

Coricopat

Again, not all his costumes include enough white to qualify, but the majority of the ones I've seen feature plenty of white plus lots of black/dark brown and a decent amount of orange/gold stripes/splotches

Honorary Mentions: Some interpretations of Skimble have enough white and black to technically qualify, but I'm not including him here because it's not nearly so common as the others. Usually Skimble's white marks are less than 25%. There's also some argument for Admetus/George depending on production, but his greys browns and blacks are too similar for me, I think he's just a tabby, plus he doesn't always have enough white

Mungo's starting to look a little less special isn't he? (No offense Mungo, you're very special for other reasons)

Could all if these boys be trans? Absolutely! It's 100% possible these are all trans characters. Not my personal hc (again, I have my theories, and none of these are among them… currently…), but it's an entirely valid hc.

Could all these be interpreted as something else? Well, I guess potentially Mac could be seen as a red tabby and the black marks could represent dark red, and his different costume interpretations certainly complicate things. Pounce and Brutus could also be potentially interpreted as bicolor brown tabbies, but it's a lot harder to make that argument with them, especially with the flecks of gold or rust that are often included in their costumes, and that much of their color is in patches rather than stripes. Cori, ehhh I mean I guess you could argue he's supposed to be a hypermelanistic orange tabby, idk I feel like that's reaching at this point, but I guess that's a valid interpretation.

But Plato.

No.

There's no alternate interpretation.

Plato is a calico. End of story.

So in conclusion, I think calico males are actually a lot less rare in the Cats universe than they are in reality thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Bonus: three calicos and brown tabby being a fan club

Extra Bonus: Three calicos dancing in the dressing room

Look, honestly I disagree with about half of this but I don't care because I love it anyway so it is now added and filed in my headcanons library anyway. Bonus points for the dressing room dances, so there. That is the correct way to assert one's opinion, thank you. (Actually, I never considered Mungojerrie a calico until the 2019 film, just a reddish tortie/tabby - and if either of them was trans I thought of it as Rumpelteazer, due to her seeming to be a him in the original poem but turning female on the stage! But I am totes here for genderqueer twins and, honestly, everybody.)

(Although, for the record: every time I’ve heard someone bring up the “jerrie is calico and that’s rare for toms” thing it’s been to prove that he must be trans, not to say he’s exceptional by NOT being trans.)

Oh yeah I forgot about Teazer being a him in the original poem! Hmmm not sure if this is my hc now, but I sure do like the idea!

Also thanks for being open even though you don't agree. I love how this fandom can bounce ideas off each other without things turning into a heated argument :)

I'll admit, though, I was a bit nervous about sharing this because I thought people might take it as anti-trans, which isn't at all how I feel. I just don't see these particular characters as trans

That’s fair! I often think of the twins and Mistoffelees as genderqueer one way or another, but I’m also very fond of trans headcanons for Tugger and Munkustrap. In the ball (especially the sections cut for the 1998 movie, oh well) Pouncival and Mistoffelees usually dance with/opposite each other, and often join in the female dances rather than the male ones (though not the overtly sexy ones), so I have a question mark over Pouncival too. I think he might be NB but not really concerned about pronouns.

@theflashisgone​ actually suggested a similar theory to yours a while back - iirc they said something like “there seems to be a high rate of chimerism amongst the Jellicles”. Chimerism could be the explanation too - but yes, whether they’re patchy because they’re calico or because they’re chimeras there’s obviously something unusual going on in this tribe!

(In fact, chimera and calico aren’t mutually exclusive as explanations, depending on whether you mean calico as a phenotype or a genotype - that is, as a word describing the fur pattern you describe above, or of the specific genetic combination that produces it. Eg, take two of my princess parrots: one has a single copy of the blue gene, which I know because one of his parents was blue. But because it’s recessive it doesn’t show up in him visually: he has the same phenotype (wild-type green) as the other boy, who isn’t split for blue. So the same visual result is produced through two different genotypes.)

@uppastthejelliclemoon​ @storyweaverofgondor​ @statisticalcats​ @whitmerule​ @queen-mischief-fanfiction​

So I was watching  Macskák musical I. felvonás on YouTube and I saw that in the production they had a black and white queen in it. Now I don’t know what character she was supposed to be, but I couldn’t help thinking that’s Misto’s mom! Here’s some screen shots I took of her, sorry for the bad quality. So now I HC this is what Fluffinella/Ozma my Misto’s Mom OC looks like now.

YES I LOVE IT

How much do you think the actors and actresses all went to drinks after a long day of rehearsal and discussed their headcannons among each other for their characters and that’s what helped them get into character? Like I headcannon that the actors did this they were like

Here are the three words. Here are the people you dance with. Here’s the main story line

Build it from there.

Like I just wanna see them sitting around a big table and Jason being like “well, /I’m/ Alonzo /looks at Jo/ and I really don’t like rumpleteaser all that much she’s a trouble maker!

Jo: WoT I Am not! /thinks/ no no yeah No that’s canon. Teaser would definitely enjoy pushing Alonzo’s buttons I think. Roll with it. /pokes Jason because she is rumpleteaser in real life/ also “well I think me and Vickie should be buddies /nudges phydilla/ eh eh? Teaser be trying to loosen up this sheltered child.

Phyl: oh you think TEAZER is the one who loosens my girl up? Honey Vicky isn’t as innocent as other people think she is.

I don’t know why I made phyly getto just now. Maybe bc I identify as victoria the most of the lady cats and that’s what I would say to jo. I’m victoria now officially. Ghetto Vicky. Talk shit get hit.

I LOVE IT
