#Plato #fanmix #my fanmix #whoops #a lot of angst a little bit of rock and roll #alright context time because i never make any of this bs without context - plato is the son of macavity #plato's path to recovery isn't always the smoothest one #there are plenty of instrumentals on here because plato is mostly mute due to trauma #i have associated a mechanical sound with macavity so to *connect* plato with macavity #while showing that there is better-ness in him i associated a lot of 80s synth pop-ish type things #so it's partially mechanical but there is a rhythmic nature to it associating him with both sides #plato's time in the mouser's palace was spent mostly alone and starving until socrates showed up #plato did a big bad in self defense #they run run run #plato's mind place aint a great place to be for a long time - there are bad things in there #he feels big and awkward and out of place and he feels like other cats look at him #plato falls in love with victoria but is still stuck in his own head a lot - frightened of himself #what he could do #how he was always considered such a useless waste of space #relapse happens quite a few times - macavity still whispers through his kids sometimes #cambodia doesn't fully make sense in context but some of the lyrics and vibe are meant to imply a little of what victoria sees #(he doesn't leave or anything shh just pretend it's that little part) #eventually the instrumentals and musics start changing as plato becomes more comfortable in his own skin #the instruments changing reflect more of a classic jellicle feel - plato starts to fit in but slowly #he ends with another 80s synth vibe but these are positive - a willingness to be better #does that make any sense i feel like it doesn't #my idea of these characters exist in my mind palace
