Gargoyle Squad: "The Witch"

Nahlin Alastiran is the last member of the top security squad in the group. They're the controlling witch for the group, working out the end of his contract for Y'qive. Their abilities and powers are kept close to the vest but they're scarily good at information gathering, knowing who is needed exactly where at the exact time and...they're an asshole. The gargoyles adopted them quite unwilling into their group, but they begrudging learned to tolerate and dare they say love the rock headed doofuses.

The best word to describe Nahlin is bratty. If they don't get their way, they are often seen pouting and/or plotting some type of revenge. Whether that's on a client, fellow group member or enemy. Y'qive is the only one exempt because she's the boss. Poor Poli often gets quite a few untimely pranks.

Their job within the squad is to gather and piece together the necessary intel for their missions and every one involved. If a client is hiding something that Zonas can't find through technology or Moonee hasn't heard through spying, then Nahlin will get through magical means. No one fucks with their team or gets past them. Nahlin is scarily good at their job and no one knows quite how they manage to do it. Given their past, Nahlin is not inclined to reveal any more secrets than necessary.

Y'qive bought them off the black market, gave them the option to work for her and Nahlin's been "working off their debt" ever since. Even though Y'qive would never make them pay back a cent.

They are dainty and cranky. At 5'6", it irks them to no end that Moonee is taller than them. Age undetermined, the paperwork simply said "old". Copper toned skin, black-brown hair often styled with small braids or tied in a ponytail, ruby eyes often hidden behind a pair of black glasses. They're shorter stature and slight waifish build often nets them more attention because of how big their personality and loud their mouth can be. They often bring Y'qive great amusement and others are convinced thats the only reason she keeps them around.

#{Nahlin -headcanon-} #~Nahlin is a lot in a tiny package #~Voth will not hesitate to scoop them up and hold them like a kid on his hip if theyre super misbehaving tho #~Poli wouldn't do that for any amount of money in the world #~now i go seeps

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - The World That Never Was

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance #khddd #the world that never was #scenery #my gif #i really love how sora's side of this world is dark and eerie and fully leans into how dreams can distort and twist reality #the city looks mostly normal at first aside from the ghostly fog that seeps down from buildings and drifts along the floor and rises up #but as you keep going the ground beneath you is no longer a street but rather the faces of more buildings that stretch over an abyss #it's no longer the sprawling city you first arrived in but instead an uncanny one way path towards your destination #the buildings now twist and contort and are crooked and grow out of the ground in all kinds of ways that make no logical sense #it's the first time that a sleeping world looks easily distinguishable from the real world. it looks wrong. like a nightmare #meanwhile riku's half contrasts heavily by appearing to be fairly normal #the interior of the real castle never made any practical sense so nothing here feels too out of place compared to how it usually looks #it shows how much more in control riku is in comparison to how sora is losing his grip on reality as he descends further into their trap #cool stuff! love me some environmental storytelling #also i finished giffing every world in this game yippee i'm done (is covered head to toe in blood)

Like, not to harp on this, but just because you don't see the "value" in a piece of art or don't think it's "technically beautiful enough" to be acclaimed or don't want to interact with it because the function it's serving isn't something you're interested in doesn't mean that it just. Doesn't deserve to exist.

#by these standards we'd have to bar most amateur art. and that is NOT a road I want to go down. like imagine trying to #rob someone of participating in one of the richest and most fulfilling human experiences because of YOUR standards. #'oh I'm not talking about amateur art I'm talking about stuff that gets popular/famous' as if amateur artists don't get #discovered or go viral or get a random cultural wave of popularity all the time #there is no amount of gatekeeping that will keep art you think is 'talentless' or 'effortless' from seeping into the professional world #so maybe like. we should all chill out a little bit. #okay. I'm done now. #the good news is that this reminded me that any art I do is for myself and it doesn't have to be Technically Perfect #so thank you to the modern art haters I guess

[lanternlightss]

looking back at posts and its so fun seeing exactly which two characters in genshin i was hyperfixated on and that even after like three years it has not changed Once 😭

venti and nameless bard have me wrapped around their fingers istg

#SINCE 2021 !!!!!!!!!! #i think about how much they love each other how much venti seems to idolize the bard to the point that he might seem to be on the same #divinity level as ven is #i think about that ven has carefully guided the citizens of mond to the same values that bard and the rest of old mond wanted it to be #i think about ven never changing his form to keep his friends memory alive even after /two millennia/ of seeing the face you can never get #back in the mirror every day #i think about ven holding his own hands together and pretending for a moment that its someone else holding his #i think !!!!!! about what would happen if the bard had ever perished. if ven would be severely protective and i dare you. try to lay a hand #on a single hair. he has gone through so much and i refuse to let anything take away what he deserves to see #i think about the bard catching the wind as easily as breathing simply bc its not truly “caught” #the wind is simply ever so fond of them that they will not go anywhere else for too long #i think about. the bard cradling a wisp so gently every night that even now warmth seeps in through ventis hand if he pretends enough #i think about a ghost bard who never leaves vens side. who had promised always whenever they departed thatd he leave something for venti to #know hes still there #i think about a bard who breaks down ventis walls with a single tap #bc they know each other as well as they do themselves #i think abt a bard who gently relearns a ven he hasn’t met #i think abt a bard who is angry and spiteful and spitting at the world softening around the wisp who shows nothing but kindness #i think about a bard recognizing ven by a small breeze alone #and i #i simply go bonkers over them you see #lantern says stuff

[pinksilvace]

Hey fern, what if you dropped a top 10 favorite cats the musical characters list

omg 😳😳😳 maybe we could find out 😳😳😳

1: Alonzo

Surprise, surprise, I know. Silly little vain/uncertain/bravado guy. What is he doing. I just know he's so full of anxiety but he's also probably emotionally illiterate. He's SUCH a big bro figure in my brain in a number of ways, but mostly because I think he'd be the kind of guy to try and fix problems, fail, and dejectedly call for mom's help after the fact.

There's not much I can say about Alonzo that I haven't already said:

Here's where I ranted about his adjectives.

Here's where I ranted about his design for the Egg Cracker Bracket.

Goodness knows I've probably ranted across many many many tags as well. Idk man he's just so Gender to me and I think he's really funny and I love that he's a bit of a loser depending on how much the actor plays up the "uncertain" part of his character (the one that prominently comes to mind is here during Grizabella, the Mac scares, the end of M&R, and the IMMEDIATE change in demeanor during the Song of the Jellicles). I LOVEEEE that he's often shown to despise Tugger; it's such a funny dynamic. I love that different productions have him looking to Munkustrap, Skimbleshanks, and Cassandra for guidance. I love that fics make him a bit of an ass sometimes. For whatever gripes I have with Broadway revival choreo, I also love that it gave him some more character moments than he used to :D.

Every depiction of Alonzo I see gives me a new, interesting look at the character. I have yet to find one I dislike.

Aghhhh we've reached the point where this ranking gets really hard 😭😭😭 LMAO

2: Demeter

She was my favorite when I first got Really into cats circa 13 years old. I'll forever be bitter that she had no presence in 2019. She's LITERALLY the second most important character for the sake of the plot and they just LEFT HER OUT??? Just because she's hard to recognize after only a single watch or two??? hhhhhhhhhhhhh

The way actors portray her is ALWAYS entrancing. If cats is Subtext: The Musical, Demeter is Subtext: The Character. The Macavity number??? Come ON. The fact that she opens the show? Her reactions to literally everything??? Oughhhh sometimes she makes me want to chew on concrete.

Sometimes, there are portrayals of Demeter that I dislike, though. I guess it makes sense for a character whose words are skittish/cautious/paranoid, but sometimes, those traits seem to supercede her personality, which is always a shame. I particularly enjoy her interactions with Munkustrap and Bombalurina, of course, so when those are overshadowed by just how scared she is, I think it tends to weaken stuff overall. After all, those relationships thrive on how they interact and curb that fear.

I don't spend nearly enough time thinking about Demeter and it's an absolute travesty. Ma'am you are the heart and soul of the show to me. You keep everything thematically linked together. I love you

3: Munkustrap

I think that Munkustrap might be the definition of a comfort character for me. His mental health is rock solid. He's so dad-coded it's unreal. I desperately need to watch a production of Cats and only focus on Munkustrap, because his interactions with everybody are spectacular. There is so much character fit into this guy. He's also entertaining to me because I would NOT guess his adjectives, ever; they always come across as a characterization secondary to his role, and I like that quite a lot.

And oh my gosh, his DESIGN!!! I think Munkustrap has some of the prettiest makeup in the show, and his whole look is pleasingly cohesive. There's so much happening on his face, but when it's good, it's PHENOMENAL.

COME ONNNNNNNN, the HIGHLIGHTS on those WHISKERS??? The gradients on the cheeks and nose??? oooohhhhhhh it pleases me IMMENSELY. I also really like how the makeup blends into the wig, and the shape of the wig is also one of my favorites in the show - especially when it's a bit droopy, like Michael Gruber's in '98.

let's not forget about the collar

Anyway YEAH!!! He's one of my favorites to see actually moving onstage, consistently has a beautiful voice, and has some of my favorite relationships in the whole show :D

4: Admetus

This is a bit of a cheat listing. I really don't think about Admetus that much, but I would REALLY like to think about him more. I want to know what his deal is. Like Munkustrap, I think he has some fascinating relationships onstage that all present very differently - his time spent with Tumble/Pounce, Victoria, and Alonzo come to mind.

But also

THE MAKEUP

THIS LOOK WITH THE BIG LOWER LASHES??? GIRL HELP YOUR CAT IS GNC AS HELL. EASILY my favorite cats makeup look EVER. I know it's just because they have to slather on Mac's stuff later but I love that most of the face is left plain so they went absolutely ham with the eyes. It's the opposite of Munkustrap's. Brilliant.

anyway yeah he looks cool and I think his role in the tribe is in a really interesting flux stage

5&6: Pouncival and Tumblebrutus

They are a pair... do not separate

okay okay OKAY I know I often talk about my favorite characters in terms of how funny they are, and these guys??? Absolute clowns. The product is exactly what's written on the tin; they sure do pounce and tumble!!! Even a few weeks ago, they probably wouldn't have been so high on the list, but writing CFP and forcing myself to learn more about their characters as a result has skyrocketed the amount of love in my heart for them. If I had to choose, I'd probably say that I like Pouncival just a tiiiiny bit more since I think he's more memorable and I prefer his design, but the way they both look up to almost everybody else in the show is intoxicating to watch.

My favorite moments of these two are, of course, Pounce here (2:35 onward) and Tumble here (2:14:25 onward). I just think they're neat.

7: John Partridge The Rum Tum Tugger

(Okay, but, like, John Partridge is the ultimate here. My second favorite is probably Zach Bravo since his take on the character is so different, but there might never be a Tugger as suave as Partridge ever again.)

Going back to his antagonistic relationship with Alonzo, I think it's interesting that they share "vain" as a descriptor. I also think that Tugger's relationships are interesting in that a lot of them aren't necessarily dissimilar with one another (they're all quite teasing, whether romantic or platonic), but they are unique to him. The dynamism of his character is probably what makes me like him the most; I love how he code switches between his own number, Old Deuteronomy, and Mr. Mistoffelees.

Aside from all that, come on. The swagger is magnetic. (I'd write more but my fingers are starting to hurt)

8: Bombalurina

women <3

(I do have additional thoughts about her character! She's intelligent, generous, and flirtatious, and though she's always seeking romantic/sexual attention, those interactions are always secondary to her relationship with Demeter, which is something that I really like. Depending on the performer, she can easily come across as one of the strongest characters.

...but yeah. women <3)

9: Skimbleshanks

(swings microphone around) I am once again answering on the basis of "I just think they're funny"

Seriously though, at this point, there are so many characters that could make it onto this list. I think Skimble juuuuust made it here because EVERYBODY loves him, and that just makes me love him more. He and Mistoffelees definitely seem like the most popular choices for fanart from folks outside of the fandom, 2019 or otherwise.

Also, whenever I need an answer in Quiplash and can't think of anything, I put in Skimbleshanks, and without fail, somebody always votes for it, even if they have no idea who (or, in their mind, what) Skimbleshanks is.

There's not a single thing I dislike about this cat or his number; I couldn't possibly begin to list everything here. I just haven't thought particularly hard about him as a character yet.

10: Electra

I must admit that I've barely spent any time at all thinking about Electra. HOWEVER, her interactions with Munkustrap are adorable, and the single father alonzo fic has irreparably changed my brain chemistry, and for those reasons alone, she's earned her place here. I also think the unitard design is really unique and beautiful :D

Honorable Mention: Tantomile. She was my favorite when I watched Cats '98 as a young'in :).

#ask #thank you friend :D #I'm going to hold off on maintagging this for now haha. I dare not let my opinions seep into the void on the first page of the tag

[mewniemoon]

Do you ever plan on updating Untangling a Matted Mess or is the fic dead? Asking for curiosity reasons and just to know it we'll ever get an update

Finally answering this to say probably not. I started the fic with first chapt as a oneshot but I liked writing it sm I continued with no real plot in mind. And at the time of writing I was struggling with an irl issue so I turned that into the UAMM story. But I'm not dealing with that at the moment anymore so the motivation ran a bit dry. Plus I had nothing prepared or very well organized it was a prime example of "Going too big with your first fic".

Honestly I kinda wish I just kept it as a story focused mostly on Arti and Pebbs and tossed out basically everything else (except the plot with Moonie cuz that was good sad I never got to it) because their interactions were the thing I liked writing the most, but then I started focusing on Pebbs and didn't like writing him without his gaint cat lol.

Im glad people liked the story and I liked writing for a bit as I hadn't written in a while, but for now UAMM is canceled rip.

#Okay but also a big reason is cuz I hate the plot point of Pebbs SHing I liked it at the time but now it feels too 'edgy' #not to say sh is 'edgy' I love seeing it explored in other peoples art. #But when I try to explore it with my own I feel that 2016 cringe culture seep into my brain #I wish I didn't include it #Maybe if I go back to college i'll get the motivation to work on it again lmao #mewnie mews #mewnie ask #ask

[museenkuss]

I mean, this is coming from someone who doesn't have pretty privilege, but sometimes I wonder if the only people who talk about it are pretty girls humblebragging? Are there any people who don't have pretty privilege who talk about it missing from their lives? It seems interesting to me because most of those "I'm so hot and it's sad because it makes my life easier" video essays focus a lot on comparing their situation to a less privileged situation, but I mean. Where is that data coming from? Are they just imagining a life that would suck and attribute them not having it to their hotness? I'm not trying to say that those people invent a sad life to be sad over in comparison to the good life they have, which they then can also be sad over, with the sun in that fictional constellation being their hotness, but that's what it feels like, a little.

#this is a mess of a post but do you know what I mean? #maybe those girls just go on my nerves? #I have some thoughts on the american mindset that also seeps into this btw but that would go into too much detail here #the only video I can think of of an ugly person is that one iconic one that I forgot the name of #you know the one.

[andromeda3116]

you know i wonder where the essay is, i certainly don't have it prepared, what it reflects about society, that the '99 trigun was a fun action western-sci-fi anime with a plot that wove itself out slowly and had plenty of heart that got serious eventually but was also a quirky romp through most of its run

and the '23 trigun stampede is a dystopian sci-fi set in a crumbling desert that can barely support life with a dark plot that drags you under immediately and also does have a lot of heart but ultimately appears to have the theme of scavenging that heart from a place that gives you no reason to believe it exists

like, as time capsules i feel like it's unintentionally saying something about us, about where we've come to and come from, that the same basic story is told in two such wildly different ways, after less than a quarter-century

#trigun #trigun stampede #i know that this is reductive but the tone of the two is just so *insanely* different that it's shocking #like the new version is gorgeous and i'm really liking it but you cannot view it from the lens of the og anime #they are essentially two entirely different anime #and yes i recognize that anime from japan is not tapped into the american zeitgeist but we live in such a globalized society now #that things seep through and things like the economy and constant streams of bad news and global wars affect all of us #do i think that it has something to do with the former american president specifically? of course not. #do i think that maybe it could reflect the growing global tide of fascism and authoritarianism and the helplessness that #many of the below-40 generation feel almost as a matter of course? perhaps. #that's something that absolutely is unfortunately transcending borders and cultures in a way that would take three sociologists #and a bar's worth of wine to describe #the same disease and sense of being abandoned or even betrayed by the people who were supposed to save you #and the deep desperate human urge to scrape together all our stupid little fragments of stupid little hope to keep us going #i haven't finished it yet so i can't say where it's taking this setting #but i find it very interesting how the two versions are so wildly divergent in tone and priorities
