2019 Cassmeter and stage Cassoffelees

2019 cassmeter:

stage cassoffelees:

[realreulbbrband]

Cassandra for the ask game?

My NOTP for them?

I don't think I have one, maybe her with Coricopat or Tantomile cause I hc them as her siblings.

My BROTP for them

Cassandra and Alonzo, but yeah they're besties!!

My OTP for them 

Bombacass/cassalurina listen they're just neat, ok? also I have this one hc that when Bomba pushes cass out of the way from dancing with Tugger is cause she was like super jealous. not of cass but of tugger, like "yeah enough fun for you"

also I hc they're pretty competitive with eachother too, but it's mainly instigated by bomba fur fun and Cass is happy to play along.

My second choice pairing for them 

Cassmeter!!! especially in 2019 cats but I also ship them in stage verse. like cass usually being very relaxed and reserved I think could really compliment Demeter's skittish and cautious nature.

My fluffy pairing for them

Cassoffelees, she needs her short magician bf who's always trying to impress her, and you know they can enjoy each other's peace. magician and assistant mwa mwa.

My angsty pairing for them 

I don't really think I have one? but I think there's some angst potential with any Demeter pairing since they all involve her learning to love again after Macavity. So, I suppose cassmeter again.

My favorite poly ship for them 

Cassandra x Demeter x Bombalurina

My weirdest pairing for them

Probably Mungocass cause I barely see anyone mention it but they're so cute istg. like I'm a sucker for opposites attract

Demandra in different productions, Vienna 2019

First post in my new reoccurring series. Basically, I find all potential Demandra pictures from a specific production and compile them into one post. Today’s production, Vienna 2019!

[sybright]

Yet another thing that is for me and only me and that one other person who I’m still too scared to tag. This was the edit I originally wanted to do for them, and for reasons unknown it took me three months to finish it hdsjkafhdsk. I’m not completely happy with the editing, but this is as nice as it’s going to get. And yes, I did in fact search for the video that was in those China 2012 gifs and add it to my edit because I’m going to USE that footage of them dancing DAMN IT. Anyway, enjoy some mild angst and maybe some implied ace angst.

June 7th - Tantomile

What do you love about this queen? I think by now everyone knows that until a couple of weeks I actually didn’t like her. 1998 Tanto & Cori creeped the fuck out of me BUT I’ve found some super adorable Tantos out there and now I lover her.

What is your favorite version of this queen? I love the classical “rolled ears” style but I must admit that blue-haired Tanto from the Opera Populaire production is beautiful af.

What do you love about this queen? EVERYTHING, SHE’S FREAKING AMAZING. She’s so beautiful, captivating, but also caring and lovely and so athletic, she’s just a goddess.

What is your favorite version of this queen? Hmm... I like most of them, I find them pretty similar. Buuut when the ears are rolled back? I love those wigs.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Rebecca Parker from 1998 movie, because I’m basic and I’m in love with her. But also Mette Towley from 2019 movie, she was one of my favourites in the movie!

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Cassomile, but I think that Cassalurina or Cassmeter would slap too.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? When she’s picked by Misto to do the magic trick. She’s super excited, a cutie pie.

June 9th - Victoria

What do you love about this queen? She’s so elegant and beautiful and I just want to be half as fab as her.

What is your favorite version of this queen? I like the versions where she’s mostly white with light brown/pink details, better than the ones with black details.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Phyllida Crowley Smith (1998 movie) and Hannah Kenna Thomas (Vienna 2019)

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Victeazer, of course. My two amazing ladies being amazing together, QUALITY CONTENT.

June 10th - Rumpleteazer

What do you love about this queen? Okay, shit gets real here. I love EVERYTHING about Rumpleteazer. She has been one of my favourites ever since I saw the musical for the very first time. I love her. She’s funny, cute, super athletic, playful but with a soft side. She’s amazing istg I love Rumple.

What is your favorite version of this queen? All Teazers are good Teazers. (I’m not kidding, I love them all)

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Jo Gibb will always be my number one! However, Naoimh Morgan (both stage and 2019 movie), Shonica Gooden, Rose Iannacone, Anna Carina Buchegger and Georgie Leatherland are amazing too and I love them all.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Victeazer! Rumple stealing jewels for her fancy girlfriend. That’s all I need.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? Every time she’s on stage is the best moment. Okay, I’ll be more selective: her whole number, her enthusiasm during Skimble’s song, and whenever she’s cute with any other cat. Oh, and during the Jellicle Ball, she’s AMAZING. Underrated dancer. And the “Are you lean like a lynx?” moment.

June 11th - Demeter

What do you love about this queen? Again, she’s one of my favourites so... Everything. She’s so brave and strong and I enjoy every single moment she’s on stage. One of the things I love the most about her is how despite the hardships she’s been through, she still wants to be happy and to enjoy life while she’s young.

What is your favorite version of this queen? London-based designs are my favourites most of the time. I love when her wig has this spiky style. A kind punk, that’s my girl!

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Demelurina, obviously. Queens of queens. This ship will end us all.

June 12th - Bombalurina

What do you love about this queen? Did I mention... Everything? She’s amazing. I love her confident attitude, how she doesn’t give a shit about anyone or anything. She’s sexy, she knows it, and she’ll do ehatever she wants because she can. However, she’s also caring and loving and is always watching over the younger cats and at the same time has a great relationship with the older queens. She’s an icon.

What is your favorite version of this queen? Oof, all of them. 2017 Asian tour was particularly gorgeous and whenever I see that design I cry for hours.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Rosemarie Ford, Suzie Melloy, Paqui Sánchez Melchior and Nadia Strahan.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Demelurina!

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? When she shows her protective side. I’d die for her, I’m not lying ;; And her solo moment during the Jellicle Ball, what a moment to be alive.

June 13th - Grizabella

What do you love about this queen? She’s quite a complex character, honestly. I love how prideful she is, and how she always keeps her head up. Go for it, queen!

What is your favorite version of this queen? I like the old school curly hair Griz better than the new version, honestly. Mexico Grizabella is super beautiful too, I love her.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Elaine Paige, Rosemarie Ford, Mamie Parris, Ana Milva Gomes, Rocío Banquells and María del Sol.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Maybe a young GrizxJelly could be cute, but I’m still bitter that they didn’t make a canon Fem!DeutxGriz in the 2019 movie.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? Memory. It’s very basic, but honestly, it makes me cry every time. 

June 14th - Exotica

What do you love about this queen? I’m gonna be honest... I never payed much attention to her. Sorry Exotica ;; 

What is your favorite version of this queen? Okay maybe this is weird but... Do you know how she has two costumes in the 1998 movie? I like more the one that appears less lol, the “tabby” suit.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? I only know Femi Taylor!

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Hm... ExoticaxCassandra could be interesting.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? I’ve heard she has a couple of cute moments with Jellylorum at some point, but I don’t remember when ;;

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

so what is the realationship between,cass,bomba and dem in 2019

Well, I hc that Cassandra is very close with Tugger, and they have a brother/sister relationship. Cassandra was the first cat to welcome Tugger into the Junkyard after he escaped from Macavity, so she was in that group with Tugger, Bombalurina, and Munkustrap.

After Bombalurina leaves, Cassandra sees how it affects her best friend, and how it affects her, so all she feels is resentment and anger towards the other queen. There are no happy feelings towards Bombalurina anymore, and Cassandra could care less what happens to her former friend.

Cassandra and Demeter are mates in the 2019-verse, and grew up together, but Demeter wasn't officially one of the Jellicles until later on. She didn't know Bombalurina, all she knows about the other queen is that she broke her mate's heart, and that's enough for Demeter to not like Bombalurina.

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

happy cats 2019 day send me asks abt the 2019 cats because i have many thoughts about them

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

how badly underrated alonzo x Cassandra are? I'm not a big fan of the couple , and before you come at me respect your opinion. just want to know why they are underrated.

i'm assuming this is the same anon who sent the Platoria ask yesterday? or it's at least related to it

Casslonzo is underrated for the same reasons that Platoria is underrated.

once again, this is not me bashing the ships, this is just me stating what i've seen in the fandom

Alonzostrap is probably the most popular Alonzo ship (Alonzo/Tugger is also quite popular), but my least favorite thing about those ships is because Alonzo suffers from the Bomba effect, i.e: he's rarely given a personality outside of his relationship with the other toms.

Cassandra, in general, is a very underrated Cats character, and I rarely see content for her that is JUST focused on her.

I'll be the first to admit that Cassmeter is my main 2019 ship for Cassandra, but that's only because Alonzo's a barely-there character in the movie. Believe me, if he had a more prominent presence and personality, 2019 Casslonzo would be the SHIT

I mean, 1998 Casslonzo is just the MOST beautiful, and I think that it's a ship that deserves so much more attention.

and it really comes down to the fact that, like i said yesterday, there is just something about the fact that m/f or bi4bi m/f ships are not given the same attention as other ships within the fandom

[realreulbbrband]

bomba for the ask game

bombieee

My NOTP for them 

non-existent

My BROTP for them

hmm Bombalurina and Alonzo the little dances in curtain calls are too cute

My OTP for them 

Tuggerina but like it's constantly switching between them and my second pairing choice so. I just think they're so neat, like their personalities both being sort of big deals amongst the younger cats, make sense they'd get together. power couple.

My second choice pairing for them 

Demelurina, the way she looks at dem when she starts singing macavity?? hello??? that is a look of love, adoration, respect even.

My fluffy pairing for them

Bombastrap or Cassmeter they're both just so perfect and sweet.

My angsty pairing for them 

2019 Bombacavity, I'll make a separate post about them cause my mini rant here expanded like crazy into a full-blown story idea.

My favorite poly ship for them 

Bombatuggoffelees or Bombacassmeter or Demebombastrap

My weirdest pairing for them

2019 Bombacavity ig?

[realreulbbrband]

Ship asks for Demeter!

YAYAYA golden girl

My NOTP for them

yeah don’t have one, my girl deserves love so doesn’t matter who brings it to her.

My BROTP for them

I talked about this before but she is tea time, meditation besties with Coricopat and Tantomile. They’ve probably given her crystals at some point.

My OTP for them 

Demelurina, I just love how much they can rely on each other? And how Demeter feels like she can run to Bombalurina for protection and or comfort it’s just yes yes. I feel like they have the sort of bound where they understand each-other more than anyone else and I love it.

My second choice pairing for them 

Demelonzo!! Listen I saw the gif of them in cats Hamburg after the lights go out when Macavity escapes and I was sold. Also just the idea of Alonzo not being completely sure of his role as a protector at first (because of his past with Macavity and what not) but becoming more encouraged thanks to Demeter and wanting to protect her just fuels my Brain with happys.

also the gif of him trying to reach for her when Macavity grabs her in Vienna 1983…..oh my god

My fluffy pairing for them

Cassmeter…listen I just love them ok? Cuties who hold hands.

My angsty pairing for them 

Demecavity. Self explanatory.

My favorite poly ship for them 

Demebombastrap!!!! But like they’re all actually dating eachother not just bomba and Munk dating dem

My weirdest pairing for them

Tugmeter probably, I don’t know why I feel like I’m alone on this one but it’s ok. I mostly ship it since the first time I watched cats it was the 2016 revival bootleg and Demeter didn’t seem to dislike tugger at all so I was a bit suprised with that interpretation of thier dynamic started popping up every now and again. Also just silly I like silly. I normally ship them Platonic or romantically though since they’re just so neat <3

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

How underrated is Cassandra x Alonzo? Could you please explain why they’re underrated?

Casslonzo is VERY underrated

the most popular Alonzo ship that i personally see is usually Alonzostrap, or Altugger/Tugglonzo

Cassandra is, in general, just an extremely underrated character, but she's usually mostly shipped with other queens.

and ofc while i have absolutely nothing against those ships (Cassmeter is my main 2019 ship for Cassandra and Demeter), Casslonzo is my main ship within the actual Cats canon for Cassandra and Alonzo. Especially within the 1998-verse, Cassandra and Alonzo are always paired up together, and that usually carries over into other versions.

It's such a great ship, and i'm obsessed with protector x protector ships, as well as "i will never let my guard down around anyone except you" pairings, and that's EXACTLY the type of ship that Casslonzo is.

[demandra]

Will you count me in?

[demandra]

You seem so, so sincere

Spittin’ lies all up in my ear

Thinkin’ I don’t know the score

You can mess with her

But I want more

Follow-up to this post, because it was fun to make and I wanted to do the side-by-side thing again with Cass as Jessica :) 

Although I’m a bit iffy about my song choice. It IS from the StarStruck soundtrack, and it sounds like it’s from Jessica’s perspective, and lyrically it’s fine, but the backing track sounds like music you’d hear in a meme (especially at the start of the song) ahdsjhfjhjds.

[demandra]

Hear the crowd calling your name, yeah

Starstruck!

Prepare to get

Starstruck!

For day 6 of Jellicle Week of Demeter! Demeter as the punk rock version of Christopher Wilde, for my very self-indulgent StarStruck AU (focused on Demandra), because I can do whatever I want. 

Demeter Wilde is your optimistic, eager to please, yet somewhat oblivious of her own celebrity privilege, teenaged rockstar. Her life gets turned upside down when she meets cynical, anti-fangirl Cassandra Olson, who not only doesn’t fall for her charms like most people do, but calls Demeter out on her famous person bullshit. 

After being forced to spend time together in order to evade the paparazzi, Demeter tries desperately to win Cassandra over with her charisma. But no matter how much she tries to convince Cass that she’s a real, authentic person, Cass just keeps on shutting her down with cold words. But whoops, looks like through all that bickering (and a brief swim in a pond), they accidentally fall in love with each other, and the school dance is just around the corner...

[demandra]

There’s something about the sunshine, baby

I’m seeing you in a whole new light

Out of this world for the first time, baby
