    -sneaks into this thread-

    HELO YES I WAS OBSESSED WITH THIS MUSICAL AS A TINY INTERNET VIRGIN I've seen it live twice now and I used to have the DVD of the 'movie'. I also read a whole lot of fic on various pre-ffnet sites.

    (Also Macavity was my first LJ comm RP muse?? Ohgod I think back at it and cringe so hard, but we've all gotta start somewhere, right?)

    Also someone rec me some good fics it's been a long-ass time but my Body is Ready. I think my first terrible unfinished CATS fic is still on FFnet somewhere?

    I TOO HAVE SEEN IT LIVE TWICE >:D i've still never gotten around to buying a copy of the DVD, but i wore out two VHS tapes :')

    FIC! FIIIIIC!!!!! unfortunately my digging hasn't unearthed too-too many gems but here are a few that i liked

    stranger by lynndyre--gen, tugger/mistoffelees
    the beginnings of a conjuring cat by china606--gen, tugger/mistoffelees

    i opened up ffnet to go digging in there and immediately died because what even is that layout, so no dice there, sorry

    Its the good good

    Also more pounce screeches

    I'm imagining Pounce as pretty short, cause in the movie he was I THINK the smallest boy, not sure? But he was p tiny. So probs about 5'4", 5'5" at most.

    He's p squishy - big thighs, wide torso, but he's obs not over weight bc dance and he's gotta be relatively beefy in certain aspects too. Soft and round face of the best boy.

    He's the type to wear tshirts and jeans, and tights and a sweater as two separate clothes. Probably lots of baggy stuff when not in dance ala shyness. Pounce probably works at some small, private owned store of some kind - something that he wouldn't interact with many people at.

    Listens to whatever everyone else listened too, very flexible music tastes. Can't drive, probs either too scared to try or hasn't had a good chance to do it.

    Probably his relationship with Tumble is a little not healthy at first, considering Tumble and Plato peer pressure him into shit. They get closer over the years, mayhaps childhood friends who were very rough housing kind.

    Eventually Tumble gets a crush on him and stops getting him into trouble without thinking first. By the time Pounce realizes he can't get with Misto he's probs heartbroken, though he still likes him anyway.

    Tumble sees his chance and takes it after many hug and cry sessions. Mungo is probs a rebound crush, as he's most likely older than him but Mungo is more than happy to be his friend.

    Tumble most likely eventually just asks him out or something, enter confused and oblivious Pouncival. It probably takes them fucking forever to get together, and when it happens it's very slow and kind of awkward for a while.

    I mean, they were best friends but Pounce has had so many crushes he's never thought this far and Tumble never actually got taken seriously by dates and/or they never ended well. Lots of embarrassment and stumbling on each side.

    More to come later probs

    oh lord I had a really super edgy idea about her parentage that I'm too embarrassed to put in the rp thread

    what if she was Macavity's offspring by Demeter. I was mostly just thinking that cause of the colors but like...maybe that's why she's so curious and perceptive - her mom's awareness combined with Macavity's spooky almost-supernatural bullshit. And then thematic because she'd be a good and gentle cat sired by the evilest cat of all!!! idk man lol

    it would be cute if she and misto were half-siblings, since they're close but I'm not really interested in pairing them :P

    hahaha uh okay they're kinda simplistic really and I have to credit some of it to my ex, @IvyLB, @Codeless and @Loq but

    Old Deuteronomy + Grizabella = Munkustrap
    Old Deuteronomy + ?? = Rum Tum Tugger
    Bustopher Jones + Grizabella = Misto
    Jellylorum + ??? = Victoria
    Gus The Theatre Cat + ??? = Grizabella & Jellylorum
    Tugger's into Misto in large part because Misto plays hard to get
    And of course Bombalurina and Demeter are dating (having both once dated Macavity) but Jellylorum tends to hang out with them as part of the gossip crusade

    THESE ARE QUALITY HEADCANONS!! munkustrap and tugger being deuteronomy's kids was announced as canon in one of the UK productions too! i think it might have been the 2014 revival but i'm not sure :0

    misto playing hard to get only making tugger more interested is The Good Shit, yes yes >:D

    my goodness i didn't even know that. i feel like i have a good headcanon eye now. xP
    Of course him being the cat clan patriarch and cats being as they are means probably a good number of them are related to him in SOME way
