I realized I never posted these here on tumblr! 2020 did unspeakable things to my mind and body…I staggered away from lockdown with a whole pitch of how I would make an animated Cats adaptation. I got the whole thing up here *taps skull*—it would be Very Good. I can’t think about it too much lest I awaken my sleeping obsession…still want to finish Old Deut and Macavity one of these days.

Fun fact: The term "Jellicle Cat" is actually the cats’ mishearing of the term "Dear Little Cat" (this gives me much joy)

Made 15 of my 26 Cats masks designs. Some of them are a little tweaked, but not majorly.

1998’s Gus the theatre cat is so so painful for me and I can’t praise it enough for that. like - the shaking, the aimless wandering…., his vision of the past that nobody else can see, that he’s chasing in such a confused way because it’s the only thing that feels familiar,,,,,,,,,,the frailty of the voice, the way he cries into Jellylorum’s chest, the tangible sense of grief !!!!!! and the way Old Deuteronomy encourages the other Jellicles to show him both affection and respect, honoring him for the life he’s lived………. I don’t think I can ever be normal about this sorry!!!!

#not going to go too deep into it but like. for anyone who’s ever experienced caring for a loved one with dementia it just hits SO different.#and there’s almost like this sense of…….detachment from Jellylorum. like she doesn’t GET it and that just feels SO real.#and the way Deuteronomy treats him is so very peerlike like he KNOWS who Gus was for real & is just trying his best to be there for him now #just the deep sense of respect he harbors for him shown in the gentle way he guides him is just the most painful in the world!!!!!!! it #it’s so important to me #cats the musical #cats 1998 #gus the theatre cat #jellylorum #old deuteronomy

I usually skip Gus' number when I listen to the soundtrack because it's. so long. And repetitive.

But goddamn the 1998 version still makes me want to cry. This is the saddest old man in existence. The way the Fiend of the Fell fades away and he gets choked up and can't finish the song.

How dare you make him sad?? That's my grandpa

CATS APARTMENT AU HCS!!

Victoria is a ballerina and during one of her first performances once she moved into the apartment complex literally all the other cats showed up. One of like the other dancers was like “Yo who tf are all those people cheering for you specifically” and she was like “oh my neighbors :] !!!” meanwhile in the crowd it’s all of them but specifically Jemima being like “YEAHHHHHHH WHOOOOOO🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️💕”

Gus’s apartment is like kinda cluttered because he has a lot of stuff from his youth but jellylorum helps him keep it neat (yall gus makes me wanna cry I love that guy)

Munkustrap is such an upstanding neighbor. Like he is the PERFECT NEIGHBOR. The kinda guy to offer to help you with groceries when he sees you struggling while walking up the stairs. You’d never ever in your life have a noise complaint. And I know his apartment is like impeccably put together mostly for Jenny’s sake.

And then there’s his brother. His place is actually very clean. I don’t feel like it’s messy, BUT. IK he’s petty. Tugger not rude or anything but oh he’s petty. He and alonzo have the craziest beef because ONCE. ONE TIME alonzo was being just like a little loud when he was doing something. (I hc in this au to be like into music so probably that) and ever since then it was WAR. Everyone has just coped with it. They’re like two unstoppable forces there’s no end in sight

I feel like the exterior of the apartment is very beautiful actually, like they all one day pitched it and helped old D make it look better cause it was a decently old building for a while. And i fear it would’ve been after Macavity tried to burn the building down. and im making my jokey jokes but any angst writers that see a vision this is for yall

On a completely different note. YALL. CAN. NOT. TELL. ME. that my boy pouncival doesn’t have the room of your average early 2000s skater boy. I’m taking dirty socks, messy clothes, just random ass stuff all around his place. Like you walk in and you’re for sure slipping on a banana peel or something.

Also he just is a skater boy. Like he’ll try and do sick tricks on the railings on the outside of the building and it’s a miracle there’s been no casualties.

also my asks box is open if yall wanna send ur hcs cause i really wanna hear em :3

#cats musical #cats 1998 #cats apartment au #alonzo #rum tum tugger #munkustrap #victoria #gus the theatre cat #pouncival #cats headcanons #This is probably part 1 of me just yapping about these cats because i want to draw but just don’t have the energy to #if any fanfics r birthed from this PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME #Also my general vibe for this whole this is like early 2000s movie if yall see the vision.

I designed some masks for the cast of Cats if it were a masked theater performance :) I was inspired for a lot of them by the 1986 Hamburg production in particular.
