A Variety of Mistos

So, I found this playlist of full stage productions of Cats and two more that weren’t in that playlist, so I’ve been spending way too much time switching between them in an attempt to watch them all at once.

Although most of the productions have done little to stand out from each other yet, I do have some thoughts. I’ll list the ones about various Mistos:

Zurich 1992: Feels like a prototype of 1998 Misto. A few moments that I haven’t seen in any version outside the 1998 show up here. There’s the bit at the beginning of Gumbie Cat where Misto thinks he’s about to become the center of attention and embarrasses himself, and he pulls Bustopher’s tail in his number. But, there’s a major difference in tone. In 1998, these scenes are cute and funny, with in 1992, they’re kind of sad.

In 1998, when Misto messes up during Gumbie Cat, Munkustrap gives him a look and then continues the song as if nothing happened. Some of the kittens tease him, but the mistake is quickly forgotten. In 1992, Munkustrap seems genuinely upset that Misto sort of spoke out of turn and some of the other older cats seem to scold him as well.

In 1998, Munkustrap stops Bustopher from leaving the song early in response to Misto pulling on his tail and Skimble just goes and finds the hat that Bustopher sits on. In 1992, Skimble is constantly trying to keep Misto away from Bustopher and Misto pulls his tail while Skimble’s back is turned and briefly gets in trouble for it.

Both Mistos do a lot of the same things, but 1998 Misto has the support of some of the Responsible Adults of the tribe. 1992 Misto doesn’t.

Also, this is the one version where I actually buy the idea that Old Deuteronomy is Misto’s dad. He’s the first Responsible Adult to treat Misto kindly, which makes their relationship stand out. Since Tugger and Misto don’t really have much romantic chemistry in this version, they can be brothers. Tugger is the older brother who teases his younger brother but secretly really cares. Every production is different.

Buenos Aires 1993: This Misto is definitely Bustopher’s son. Bustopher motions him closer during his solo and gets annoyed with Skimble for trying to butt in on their time. Misto is clearly the favorite among Bustopher’s fan club and can basically sit beside him if he wants to.

Madrid 2004: This Misto sings Gumbie Cat like the original London version and I think that might be why his character is a bit different. He seems like Munkustrap’s assistant. He’s fairly mature and level-headed, can perform musical numbers all by himself, taking over the narrator role, and Munkustrap seems to sometimes look to him to help manage things. It’s like Alonzo assists Munkustrap in protecting the tribe, but Misto is the assistant in organization.

Broadway 2016: Misto isn’t given nearly enough to do. He dances, he flirts with Tugger, and that’s it. He has no dynamic with Munkustrap or Bustopher or anyone else besides Tugger, really. Tugger and Misto are fun to watch together, but it feels like when he’s not with Tugger, Misto might as well not be there at all.

#cats 2016 #cats 1993 #cats 1992 #mr mistoffelees #lots of mistoffelees #i had a lot to say about zurich #skimble and misto keep fighting for bustopher's attention #skimble you are too grown up for this shit #misto is still slightly baby in most of these but skimble is very grown up #and should know better

ill delete this soon

bad cop hogwarts au

@pouncival

points to cover: houses, prefect stuff, meetings, classes, Naughty Stuff, other cats, pets, life after hogwarts, quidditch >:((, HYDRATION, teachers, uhhhhh and anything else i can think of

HOUSES: rumples a gryffindor. the sorting hat took about three seconds. alonzos a hufflepuff even tho his family have always been ravenclaws and he desperately wanted to be a gryffindor, he cried after the sorting ceremony also: jenny is huffpuff head, skimble is p much hagrid, jelly is raven, gus is gryffdor and grizabella is slytherin,,, headmaster deuteronomy lmao

PREFECT STUFF: alonzos a prefect. Obviously, i mean come on. he takes it so seriously,,, hes already dating rumple when he becomes one and she delights in the fact that he can sometimes b persuaded to let her go with a warning bc yo thats what u get for fucking a prefect,,, once she wanted to get in ravenclaw tower and she didnt know the answer to the riddle so she was like "LONZYYY I HAVE A RIDDLE THAT I NEED TO FIND THE ANSWER TO FOR HOMEWORRKKKKK" and hes a library fiend so he spent like an hour looking it up and then he told her and she was like "ok thanks im going off 2 ravenclaw tower now" and he was so distraught he took ten points from hufflepuff for helping her. the other prefects Donut Understand their relationship ghdkhgd bc mungo and rumple r worse than fred and george but eventually it gets to the point where they catch her doin some rulebreaking and shes like... do u seriously feel like dealing with me so they just go get alonzo. she gets drunk on firewhisky one time and he takes her back up to gryffindor tower and spends ten minutes trying to get the fat lady to let her in but the fat lady is annoyed and refusing and it goes like "rumple tell her the password" "nooOooOoOooOo" "do you know the password" ">:3c" "rumple teLL HER THE PASSWORD" for another half hour and eventually gives up and decides to wait for the next gryffindors to come along and let her in but the next one to come along is mungo and then its twice as bad when alonzo becomes head boy (munk is the year above them) he cries, and rumple opens her letter like I GOT HEAD GIRL??!!!!????? and hes like. What. and shes like hehehehehe just kidding who the fuck do u think i am,, also. prefects bathroom. he ends up letting her find out the password and then shes constantly in there and then Somehow (i wonder how) mungo finds out and then they have to change it before the whole school knows,,, oh my god the other prefects tease him so much and at first hes like eh..heh...yeah but after a while hes like fuck off please, stop shittalking my girlfriend to me, and he gets a wee bit defensive about it so they give up especially in their final year when hes head boyyyy

QUIDDITCH: OKAY so alonzo wanted to play quidditch as a seeker bc ofc he did right?? i mean theres so many rules. such nice uniforms. but he never made the tryouts bc he wasnt willing to take the risks needed to get the golden thingy (also, vitiligo, hes got autoimmune shit and he has 2 b careful w his health),,, rumple however. rumples grown up loving the harpies and desperately wanting to be a beater. then she meets mungo and the two of them are fucking terrifying beaters, they are So Good, its honestly the only reason why gryffindor hasnt lost the house cup every fucking year, them helping win p much every game kind of balances out all the points they lose for being shits lmao,,, we had a thought that she gets hurt sometime in a game, and alonzo is. so terribly smothering he brings in all his books to study by her bed in the hospital wing and takes notes for her and is way too cautious after that and begs her to stop playing and she just. Looks at him. :| anyway she does eventually become quidditch captain nyehehe and so shes captain, hes head boy, they are a glorious power couple,,, the nerds love alonzo, the delinquents and sportheads love rumple, together they are So Respected,, it also means she gets actual access to the prefects bathroom which changes very little except for how sneaky she has to be to get in

MEETINGS: okay so in true hogwarts au fashion they first meet on the train as first years,,, rumple: hi can i sit here (she says as shes sat down) are u muggleborn im a halfblood alonzo: im from an old wzarding family my name is draco malfuck you rumple: wow u sound like an asshole. what house r u gonna be in. im gryffindor alonzo: me too rumple: u dont seem like one alonzo: you do :// rude fuck. this is my owl her name is aegolius im pretentious rumple: cool name. this is my cat her name is gwynog GO HARPIES alonzo: ive never had physical contact with a living thing in my life can i pet her rumple: sure alonzo: soft anyway after they get sorted they never talk again. End Of Au. jks but forreal they dont talk for years until they get their electives and theyre partnered in care of magical creatures and finally talk again and it goes like rumple: hey youre that kid who cried at the sorting ceremony alonzo: rumple: sup somehow the whole Falling In Love part is the one bit we havent really talked about but it happens and its cute

id also like to add that alonzos parents are an old italian wizarding family but they pride themselves on being chic, modern wizards who incorporate certain muggle things, mostly fashion, his mums a fashion designer, so all his clothes are beautiful and tailored and more Modern than most,, ANYWAY they also Want The Best for him and when he tells them who hes dating (A HALFBLOOD RAISED AMONG MUGGLES??? A GIRL BEATER???? LOOK AT HER SCHOOL RECORDS DARLING SHES A DELINQUENT!!!!!!) and they refuse to let him stay at her house or let her come over,,, until he writes home one day like. shes captain of the quidditch team what more do u want shes going to do it professionally) and theyre Sporty Folks who are So Fucking Into Quidditch and by this point theyve realised that she's not turning him into a Bad Kid so they finally accept her

CLASSES: ive forgotten like all of their classes kmn anyway alonzo wants to be an auror. thats all he wants. thats his ambition. so he studies his ass off from day one and gets perfect grades and is a model student. rumple is. perhaps not. just think fred and george thats her and mungo, shes a terror but somehow she still manages to pass everything through an annoying natural talent. alonzos kind of hellbent on making her get good grades and they spend much of their time in the library, hes in there Every Day, he pretty much has a reserved table, rumple sits around practicing jinxes on any unfortunate passerbys and trying to pester him and/or make him kiss her he loves presentations, hes so good at them, he prepares for weeks and then the entire time rumples in the back of class making Naughty Gestures. he chokes on his water when she does presentations theyre short but shes really charismatic so he just kind of sits there staring at her like an idiot because gosh she has a nice voice rumples a pro at brooms obviously, alonzos Hella Nervous on them, he has the best and safest model, she offers to give him private lessons but really its just an opportunity for dick jokes what can u do. he gets her a really good really SAFE and fast broom for christmas one year bc what else does a rich boy get his girlfriend who kicks ass at quidditch which brings me to

NAUGHTY STUFF: kittens look away! look for like. a full three months hes like Im Not Having Sex At School Its Against the rRULES!!!!!! and rumples like. well then we either abstain until we graduate or we can do it at your parents place and. No. The Horror. he changes his mind very quickly. they happen to stumble across the room of requirement a few times when.uh. the need is great. u know how it goes. im also gonna go out on a limb and admit that alonzo is rather fond of the Luxury Baths in the prefects bathroom and rumple is very good at catching him when hes in there and enchanting the door or some shit so nobody disturbs them :-)) this is from one of those hogwarts au headcanon posts but i love it, he gives a presentation on sex ed and shit (lets pretend hogwarts is better than it is) and rumple sits in the back asking the worst questions and inside he wants to scream u KNOW what that is we did it last nIGHT

other cats: yes ok here we go. in their year is misto, victoria, admetus, mungo, coricopat, tantomile and im sure im missing people here, year above them is munk, tugger, deme, bomba, cassandra, macavity (???!!!???) and everyone else is younger by a year or two, also worth mentioning is etcetera being rumples younger sister and theyre adorable and lovely etcetera for president of the world munk and cass or deme are probably head boy and girl of their year, cass is dating tantomile, bombas dating demeter, alonzo has the biggest crush on munk as well (optional polyamory for u fucks) (worth saying that the reason rumple went to sneak into ravenclaw tower was to see victoria btw),,, alonzo and victoria are head boy and girl of their year, and probably jemima andddddddd idk maybe g eorge fuck me man idk admetus is another prefect, so's tantomile tbh,,, id say victoria but she wants to focus on her studies

PETS: alonzo has this beautiful eagle owl, scariest of all owls, her name is aegoleius (pronounced ay-JEE-lee-us) it means bird of prey and he adores her. shes beautifully trained. rumple has a kitty that im personally in love with who is basically rumpleteazer as a cat lol shes a calico but her name is gwenog after the famous beater of the harpies <33333 eventually they'll get another cat thatll be a suspiciously familiar black and white patched triangle shorthair named Faolan (sorta like FWAY-larn) even tho it means little wolf because he thought it sounded cool and he read it in a book and thought it was pronouned faow-lahn, honestly they probably end up getting a whole ton of cats

LIFE AFTER HOGWARTS: WOO im excited for this bit. okay. so. alonzo wants to be an auror. hes spent his whole life training for this. he immediately applies after graduation and gets in and starts his rigorous three year training process. in the meantime rumples gone into professional quidditch, and shes really really good at it but shes like.... this isnt fun anymore. bc its not just a school game anymore, its a professional sport, and what do u mean u cant jinx the opponents!!!! so for a while she just helps him train "ok so if you walk like THIS and use this charm your footsteps will be totally silent blah blah boh my god i should be an auror" and hes like. You. want to be an auror. and shes like. Yup. and its a damn good thing he was so obsessive about her getting good marks bc her newts are good enough that she can apply. they do a criminal record check, but mind u that altho rumples done naughty stuff, shes never actually. Been Caught doing anything particularly bad. so her record is somehoW CLEAN and she gets in. its a miracle. "what did you do. who did you blackmail" "i sucked every single aurors dick lonzy" "HOW DID YOU GET IN" "EVERY! SINGLE! DICK!" but hes also really really prouD AND THAT MEANS THEY CAN HELP EACH OTHER TRAIN!!!!! cue training montage. rumple pulls a tonks and coasts thru a lot of it rlly easily and almost fails some but they both eventually graduate and become aurors and work together and she covers her trenchcoat in patches and he keeps asking if he has to wear his because sweet jesus it is ugly ITS BROWN, and at this point his parents r more than content with rumple lmao, anyway they live together in a lovely little house that is kept in perfect order, rumple enchants EVERYTHING to talk, its cute, fucking domestic shit yes please

HYDRATION LOL look this isnt even important but alonzo is so deeply into that health shit. he only eats dark chocolate, and most importantly he fucking loves spending time in the kitchen with jenny. she cooks, he makes custom face masks, and also infused water. so much infused water. he has different """recipes""" and he always has a bottle of lovely chilled water with fucking apple and ginger and lemongrass shit in it that he made the night before, and since rumple fucking hates drinking anything thats not tropical sunshine punch fruit juice he constantly is trying to figure out a recipe of infused water that she'll drink becUSE ITS NOT HEALTHY RUMPLE!!!!!!!! YOU NEED WATER, but she thinks its disgusting and eventually he gives up and carries a bottle of juice with him in case he sees her because its better than nothing,

yeah ok im,,,,, i assume there will be more to come but for now this is what u get

My Tumblr Year In Review Thing, But There Were Technical Difficulties

So, I wanted to post the thing, but Tumblr just kept erroring, and it’s been like five hours now, so I just took a bunch of screenshots of what I wanted to post but couldn’t, so I can share it anyway...Now with commentary!

So, I clearly talk about Cats 1998 WAY more than any other version. There character tags mostly line up with who my favorite characters tend to be, minus Jemima. I’m a bit surprised by how many Skimble and Bomba posts there are, because I don’t think I talk about them that much. But Misto, Munk, Tugger, Jerrie, Pouncival, and Etcetera come up a lot around here and I generally have a lot to say about them.

As for The Long Tag, my grandpa was very sick and suffered from dementia. He passed away in September. I hadn’t seen him since 2016 and I’m not sure my brain has fully processed the fact that I won’t ever see him again. I didn’t post about it when it happened, because this is a Cats blog.

Okay, let’s change the subject and move on to my top five posts AKA Mainly Stuff That I Didn’t Put Much Effort Into That Somehow Really Caught On

Okay, this one had actual effort put in. This was an early post, back when I was trying to rewatch 1998 a zillion times focusing on different characters. I stopped when I got bored of doing the same thing over and over.

Out of all the rewatch posts, I get why this one was the most popular, since I was just sort of riffing the scene and having a great time.

Here’s how I described the scene and it sets the mood:

Since the post is really long, I took screenshots of only a few highlights:

There is no point to this highlight. I just had to include the Tail Spin again.

Because it wasn’t relevant to this scene, I forgot to mention that, while Teazer has the larger half of the brain cell in this scene, Jerrie has it when they’re doing crimes. He’s a criminal savant of sorts.

And now, a joke with some decent comedic timing:

RIP Pouncival

Explaining The Joke: In most productions, Alonzo plays the Rumpus Cat and it goes about as well as it does here, but you’d think Alonzo would be more reliable if you didn’t know that.

I found George kind of boring the first few times I watched the show, but he’s grown on me. This post was from before that happened, so I’m maybe a bit mean to George here.

Note: Cats CANNOT safely drink alcohol. I knew this when I made this post, but the joke was funnier if Munkustrap didn’t.

Okay, time for Number 4:

This was a short little meme post I wrote off the top of my head, but it’s another one that made sense to catch on. Here are some of my favorite descriptions:

The Ballad of Billy McCaw is really weird.

Of course, actors in the same production can give contradictory answers too, but wow has the show changed over time!

Okay, we’re getting to some shorter posts where I screenshoted the whole thing. Number 3:

I saw someone make a post basically identical to this at some point and I hope that post is more popular than this one, because it was there first.

Though it’s easy to make the Tuggoffelees joke of “Misto gets away with shit than no one else can”, having seen other productions where Misto doesn’t get this line, this is actually a difference in Tugger portrayals in original vs. revival choreography. In the original choreography, Tugger doesn’t seem to have a specific response to the comment and the actor just ad-libs it. Most actors play Tugger as being too confident to care that he’s being insulted. But, the Broadway Revival’s choreography plays up Tugger’s vanity, and has him fall into the typical trope of “guy who’s really full of himself is secretly insecure”. So, this Tugger can’t handle being insulted. I’ve seen clips of actors other than Tyler Hanes doing this with the revival choreography, so either it’s not ad-libbed, or every other actor who took the role after Hanes copied it because they thought it worked well.

This is another example of Blankenbuehler choreography completely changing Tugger’s character. I wouldn’t mind so much, but “vain but uncertain” is Alonzo’s thing and we don’t need two characters with the same potential arc. Tugger’s thing, so as not to be confused with Alonzo’s, is usually “seems like a jerk, but is really a nice guy/ seems like a himbo but is actually very smart/ seems irresponsible but is a really good leader when he’s needed”.

Number 2:

Tumblr, I was pandering to you. I realized that if I made a post that was just “these characters are LGBT” and literally nothing else, it’d get a bigger response than any longer headcanon or analysis. I actually feel a bit bad that this lazy post got as popular as it did. It’s not bad, but it was something I made purely to get a reaction and not because I had anything to actually say.

Lesbian Rumpleteazer! Most Teazers aren’t lesbians, because they have to fill in for Etcetera and be Tugger’s biggest fangirl, but Etcetera’s in 1998 and out of all the girls who are fans of Tugger, Teazer is the least blatantly horny during his number. Honestly, I didn’t know who to make the L in this LGBT meme. The queens who are the most easily shippable with other queens are all more easily read as bi. Bomba and Demeter could be read as a couple, but their past relationships with and attraction to Macavity is a plot point. Most productions don’t have any characters who read as lesbian, because all the queens go nuts around Tugger. The ones that don’t are Demeter (already explained), Jenny (who has an obvious crush on Bustopher), and Jelly (I don’t know maybe?).

So, the L was hard but the other 3 were all really obvious.

Gay Mistoffelees! In most of the situations where the tribe has gender roles, Misto is an exception to the rule. His aesthetic includes glitter and rainbows. He spends a lot of time trying to impress various toms while being one of the few toms who never really actively tries to flirt with any of the queens. Add in the fact that I’m pretty sure he’s been portrayed by more gay actors than straight ones and it’s incredibly obvious why he’s usually seen as the Gayest Little Cat.

Bisexual Rum Tum Tugger! He can’t pick one side of a door. Do you really think he could stick to sleeping with one sex without getting curious about “what’s on the other side”? Also, Tuggoffelees.

Transgender Mungojerrie! Misto is the more popular trans hc character, since he had those seven kittens, but Jerrie is my favorite trans headcanon. He’s a calico cat and male calicos are extremely rare. Male calicos are actually more intersex since their chromosomes are XXY. So Jerrie could be many different not-cis things, but my headcanon is that Jerrie was AFAB but Macavity magically gave him a male body. He’s a cat, so transitioning via hormones and/or surgery isn’t really possible, so he transitioned via magic.

Finally, My Number 1 Post of 2021:

Another one where I saw someone else’s post and basically did my own version of it. A former mutual (an anti), made a post describing Cats designs of different eras as:

1981: Human People

1982: Sewer Rats

1998: Teddy Bears

2016: Instagram Models

2019: *redacted*

So, I did the same damn thing with a visual aid, more commentary, and focusing on only one character. 1981 Misto looks human, 1982 Misto looks creepy, 1998 Misto is adorable, 2016 Misto is cool and polished, 2019 Misto is a bit of a mess.

I see a lot of posts that inspire my own posts, though I avoid directly copying. Depending on your definition, I’ve probably ripped a few people off.

I have seen screenshots where he looks a bit more feline than this, so I was sort of cheating.

This is actually one of the less “cryptid” pictures of this Misto.

The Broadway Revival didn’t really make good use of Misto at times, but the rainbow jacket is definitely a plus.

Explaining The Joke: Yes, I was a bit too harsh here. Misto’s is one of the better character designs in this movie, which is admittedly not saying much, but, outside of the broken CGI, he looks fine. The thing with him is that without his dance role, Misto just seems really watered down. He’s once of the nicer cats in the movie, but he’s more focused on Victoria than anyone else. He only fit the cryptid category by accident because of the CGI. He fits the Baby Misto personality very well, but they messed up his number which ruined the pay-off. His jacket is cool, but not as cool as the rainbow jacket. He doesn’t exactly fail at all these things, he’s just not as good at them as other versions are.

Outside of the lack of dance and overemphasis on Mistoria stuff, 2019 Misto isn’t completely out of character. He’s more genuinely shy, but there are moments of attention-seeking that feel very Baby Misto, such as after the list of types of cats in Jellicle Songs, he adds in “AND magical cats!”. That’s Misto. “Me! What about me and how awesome I am! I’m a special magic boy gdi!”

Even though the “terrible bore” line is now directly only at Victoria, the original meaning of the line (”Stop paying attention to him and go back to paying attention to me!”) is still there. As a side effect of making Victoria the protagonist, a lot of stuff that’s usually addressed to everyone ends up being addressed solely to her. Misto’s competitive nature and seeking the attention of everyone becomes mainly about Victoria, because she’s the main character. Any problems in Misto’s characterization are an extension of larger problems in the movie’s structure.

I hate on Cats 2019 a lot, I know. I think that by whatever objective standards art can be measured by, it’s a bad film and a bad adaptation of the source material. But, if you like it, ironically or not, fine. You can find happiness in a place where I can’t. Good on you. When it comes to the humans I criticize in this movie, I think most of cast did the best they could with what they had to work with. I still don’t like Blankenbuehler’s choreography and I think Tom Hooper lacks a basic understand of the appeal of musicals, but I don’t think their bad people. How could I know? I’ve never met them. The only actors I poorly of from this movie are Rebel Wilson and James Corden. They played themselves instead of their characters and I never got a sense that they actually cared about the show or the movie. But, the worst thing is that they blamed everything on the visual effects and threw those people, more people who did the best they could with out they had, under the bus.

So, here’s a long, 2021 Is Almost Over Let’s Recap The Year post. What you’ve learned is that I lie, cheat, steal, pander, and I’m generally kind of a dick, but at least you think I’m funny. Hopefully Tumblr will actually let me post it.

Misto: Don’t leave me daddy!!!

Munk: uh-oh

Bomba: Can you not hear the screaming?

Munk: Wait no

Jemima: I almost got stepped on

Misto: taiw puw

Misto: oof

Bustopher: r u okay?

Tumble: I wonder if another Misto would be more stable*

Munk: Pay no attention to taiw puw antics

*(I’ve noticed that Mistos in fully London-based productions tend to be less crazy around Bustopher than ones from Broadway-based productions, and the one, which adds a Broadway Misto to a mostly London cast. Tumble was played by a London Misto. That is the joke.)
