CATS HOLIDAY GIFT EXCHANGE

Guess what this is! The official sign-up post for the CATS holiday gift exchange! 

( https://forms.gle/n2GhsjDYRiEosLvr7 )

Info/rules:

This form is opening on October 22nd and will close on November 5th. If you realize the next day that you completely forgot to sign up then obviously message me, but you cannot contact me a week after I close the sign up and expect to still be put in.

I will be giving out everyone's prompts and partners starting on the 7th of November and ending on the 11th, although it probably will not take that long. If you do not receive your assignment by the 12th of November and are absolutely certain that you signed up, then please message me so I can correct my mistake! However, do not go messaging me on the 8th of November asking when I will be getting everything out. I am one person, things take time.

This is a Safe for Work gift exchange. People of all ages will be participating. Do not request and do not give any gifts that include adult themes. I also do not tolerate Pro-shippers. Yes, I am still on this. I’m certain that we all involved with CATS know what this means by now, but if you do not, then please message me so that I can help.

This is also a CATS themed gift exchange! All requests and gifts should be related to any of the characters/songs/themes from the stage productions, 1998 movie, or 2019 movie in some way. Your requests can get as specific or nonspecific as you would like. 

The gift you give the person that you are paired/partnered with must be created by you and should be on-theme to their requests. This means it must be an edit, artwork, collage, fanfic, playlist, or anything else that you can think of creating that is relating to the CATS character, ship, song, and/or prompt that is provided.

Your gift should be finished and given to the person by January 7th. However, you are free to give your gift any time after December 18th. Do not feel pressured! You are not required to give it on the 18th. Thats simply the day you are free to start, and the last day that you should be gifting on is the 7th. 

You are free to ask any questions you need to right now, or message me, or send an ask. I think I still have anon turned on if doing that work better for you. Happy Holidays!!!

nothing in all of history is funnier to me than the idea that SOMEBODY out there watched Cats 2019 (2019) and saw the Chin Lift scene & said to themselves 'absolutely not. if anyone is going to be gay with Mistoffelees it should be Tugger', and then three years later joined the Cats il Sistina (2022) creative team and made their dreams a reality. this is what art is all about everyone

Some Cross and Killer doodles since @pigeonstab has me inspired for them

#UTDR #UTMV #Cross Sans #Killer Sans #My Art #Little pieces from our convo yesterday #Like Killer forcing Cross to watch cats 2019 (and then complaining about how bad it is the whole way through) #And then their perfectly normal music tastes #Also I kind of like the idea that these two are good for each other's sleeping habits #Like left alone they are not good sleepers #But their forces combined they tire each other out and end up using each other as pillows #(They probably both could do with more affectionate touch so it all works out) #(Except when Cross gets determination stains on his clothes then it's a whole thing)

[clowniconography]

one of the worst things about the 2019 Cats adaptation to me personally is the fact that they adapted the original musical in such a hatefully unflattering way while in the process exposing the concept of Cats The Musical to way more people than ever should've known about it, thereby forcing me to see opinions about it from countless people that were Absolutely Not the intended audience

#like why would i care about your opinion on Cats if youre heterosexual. Its Not For You... #scooter.txt #cats the musical #cats 2019 #cats 1998

[aclairvoyant]

ive been putting a lot of thought into why this:

triggers uncanniness more than this:

and i think it mostly comes down to the silouettes of the characters and the overreliance of cgi for the bodies.

in the stage productions of cats, there's a lot of work put into each cat's costume. unless the characters are intentionally meant to have similarities (e.g: mungojerrie and rumpleteazer, munkustrap and tugger, coricopat and tantomile, etc), they all look pretty distinct. even when characters have similar color pallets, they have distinct enough silouettes that it's easy to keep them separate in your head.

here is demeter, bombalurina, and jellylorum in the 98 movie. they have similar colors, but each detail in their hair, ears, shoulders, and even tails stands out and helps them look distinct from one another.

now let's take a look at the same trio in the 2019 movie.

despite each cat now having a different color pallet, they all have the same silouette and blend into the ensemble. each of the character is incredibly important to the cast, and instead of being easily picked out from the crowd, i had to look up demeter and jellylorum on the fan wiki just so i could remember what they looked like. honestly, if you didn't know what taylor swift looked like, would you be able to pick bombalurina from the crowd?

in my opinion, the cg fur definitely does not help. it smoothes out purposeful imperfections in the stage designs. also, oddly enough, almost none of the cats have any fluff around their heads, leading to a very weird silouette. they literally just look like humans with ears and tails.

just look at tugger in both films.

would you be able to believe that the 2019 version is supposed to be a big, fluffy maine coon cat? why is his silouette so different from 2019's munkustrap when they're supposed to be brothers?

in the 1998 movie (and all stage productions if we're being honest) it is incredibly easy to see these two are related. even without matching colors, they have similar silouettes.

in the 2019 version, munkustrap just looks like any other cat. i genuinely don't think anyone who has only seen the 2019 movie would know that tugger and munk are brothers, let alone that they are old deut's sons.

cats 2019 was a failure in many, many ways, including adapting the story and butchering the songs and characters. but it's so visually offputting because of the decision to smooth out any physical quirks the cats originally had in their designs. they're too sleek and just blend in with everyone around them. it's genuinely so disappointing to see such a colorful, vibrant, and uniquely costumed show turned into a muddy cg nightmare.

my dearest Madame Curator keeps calling me a “Cats Stan”

just because i am capable of reciting the names and professions of all of the Jellicle Cats, it does not mean i am a Cats stan
