Okay so if you’re ever embarrassed about your Cats AUs remember that there’s a whole ass production of Cats that’s set during the Second World War and instead of a junkyard it takes place in a train station that’s been completely bombed out. All of the Cats are dressed as people from that era (schoolgirl, milkman, soldier, postman, thug, sexworker etc) and it all correlates in some way to their personalitues. Now you would think that them being in actual human clothing wouldn’t work but it does for some reason??? Like...
Tugger is dressed as like this young 1930s hoodlum and he smokes and has arm sleeve tattoos and munkustrap is dressed as this young soldier and you’re like “yes. all of this is valid.”
Bombalurina and Demeter are dressed as sex workers and they’re in these sparkling sequin lavish corsets with boas and fishnets and you’re like “wow they’re so pretty I love them”
Mistoffelees is this young dapper looking twunk with a green suede vest and when he’s quaxo he’s a milkman and you’re like “yup totally reasonable.”
And because it’s set during a war it becomes way more then just “these fucking cats coming together to sacrifice another cat” it becomes a story about individuals from all corners of life coming together and having a good time during a period of just....complete destruction. There’s also that bittersweet feeling that some of them are gonna die lol because it takes place during a war and they’re already meeting in a place that was destroyed by bombs. Like atleast a junkyard can be a home to cats meanwhile THESE fuckers had to make do and congregate in a decrepit train station that is most likely carrying radiation.
Also my favorite thing is trying to figure out which cat is which just by their costume. I found out about this production at 3am so I was looking through different websites trying to see who was who like i was fuckin Charlie trying to figure out who Pepe Silvia was. I got most of them but some of them I’m completely lost. Lol
So I was reading my holy bible Lainey Gossip and catching up on Justin and Hailey’s wedding weekend and LG was sharing some insta posts from “@newsbaldwin” and I was like “oh is that a cousin? Like Ireland’s sister or something?” But actially I’m an idiot and it’s just a Hailey Baldwin-Bieber news account and honestly very sad that there isn’t a Baldwin named News because I actually think News Baldwin is a badass name.
Honestly, like where is the Billy Joel biopic? It’s got everything. Fathers you’ll never live up to, alcoholism, New York, LA, super models, evil record contracts that you run across the country to avoid and hole up in a piano bar where you right one of the most beloved songs of all time, fall from grace, motorcycles, divorce, a major comeback after a national tragedy. Like fuck Rocketman. I want PIANO MAN.

a ragtag group of wannabe movie stars (swifty la rue included) want to make it big in hollywood, so they land any part they can- only to find that their big job is just being limo drivers. now they have to compete with other limo drivers, pimp their ride, and learn the value of friendship in order to survive the streets of hollywood! can they help celebrities make it to the big premiere without getting caught by the paparazzi??
anyways thats my pitch… i actually want that to happen. mixed in w the original ride concept i think itd be a great original movie :pensive:
september will be kind. september will be magical. september will bring the missing energy. september will be working towards our goals and self. september will be a month full of growth.
