#tantomile cats

[mayrine]

surprised i haven't seen more of Cassandra, Exotica, Coricopat and Tantomile all together Like they are all the weird little mysterious cats, that are often away from the other cats (i think Exotica, Coricopat and Tantomile are seen being near each other more in the '98 film) And Cassandra and the twins all have associations with magic/psychic powers but all four are more mysterious and reserved which i think could make for some real neat dynamics

I'd love to hear more about Moriah and Tantomile's relationship. (Also you've got almost 40 fics on AO3! :O Wow!)

(IKR!? Crazy how time flies!)

So, they met kind of on a whim.

Moriah had just joined the tribe and wanted to get to know the other magical folk. She met Coricopat first, who introduced her to Tantomile. For Mo, it was love at first sight. She was enamored by Tanto’s elegance, and got a dopey grin as she clumsily introduced herself.

Tantomile was a bit less impressed at first. Another magical cat was fine, but even she was a bit concerned that Moriah could predict the future, and usually tragic futures at that.

Then they really got to know each other. Moriah needed help dealing with the enormous burden she carried, and relied on the twins’ wisdom to help her through it a bit. Tantomile was curious enough eventually to watch Moriah paint, and she started to understand her more. Moriah loved to paint, but she was terrified to accidentally predict something horrible.

They spent more and more time together, Moriah teaching Tantomile how to paint and Tanto helping Moriah with her fears. Eventually it was very clear to everyone else that they were basically courting each other.

Then the ball comes around, and nobody has any idea who’s supposed to do the Pas De Deux. Then, the moon shines in the clearing, and Moriah and Tantomile seem to glisten under the moonlight as they dance together. They had been courting each other, but Moriah predicted they’d fully fall in love a long while later and Tantomile was already emotionally enamored with her so they decided to just skip to the actual mating.

They are very domestic while also mystical. Their den is decorated with a lot of paintings and shiny things, their nest is a big pile of pretty fabrics and feathers. They have dinner with Coricopat every other night (he lives next door). They have a little shop where they give mystical advice, just witchy lesbian cats 😊.

Some years later, they have kittens!

Tantomile gives birth (Moriah is Transfem, so they’re biologically theirs) to twins: A queen named Philomena and a tom named Malachite.

Philomena is owned by a Gravedigger, and she can speak to the dead. What’s odd about it is that she mainly speaks to dead humans. She’s more cynical and dark, though very close to her mothers and brother.

Malachite’s owner makes potions and such, and he likes to kinda just stare at the jars- He takes a lot more after Moriah, and is more cheery and comical. He gets along well with his Uncle Cori, they’re both magical but goofballs.

I love them-

Baby’s first zine participation!! It was an absolute honour to be invited on as guest artist and been given the chance to work with some of the community’s most talented creatives in the @namingofcatszine ! This was definitely one of if not the most ambitious pieces I’ve ever attempted over the course of a few months in 2023 but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and create something I can truly be proud of. Thank you so much to all the mods, artists, writers for their incredible efforts and of course the unwavering support of the Cats community for making this happen 🫶 it has been an amazing experience from the beginning until the end 🥹

Translating all the CATS Asia tour (2017) character descriptions!

Admetus, the Considerate cat is a kind cat who protects kittens. He is a thoughtful and easygoing cat.

Alonzo, the righteous cat. A proud and masculine cat. On the outside, he is lively and dynamic, but deep down, he is still uncertain about himself.

Bill Bailey the acrobatic cat is an adolescent cat who specializes in fluid dance moves and acrobatics, and is tough and confident.

Bombalurina, the sensual cat; she is extremely sensual and sexy, especially popular among the male cats. She shares a special bond of empathy with Demeter.

Bustopher Jones, the rich cat is not a Jellicle cat, but he is an aristocratic cat who is welcomed by all, enjoys golfing in his spare time and loves a big feast of delicious food.

Carbucketty, the reckless cat is a feisty cat that often gets into trouble.

Cassandra the Siamese Cat, she has a four-dimensional spiritual world with a mysterious beauty. As the only hairless Siamese cat, she is always confident and maintains an air of elegance and pride.

(4D is Korean slang for someone who has a weird, eccentric personality. They seem to live in their own strange world, often behaving unusually or unexpectedly. Though it may seem like an insult, calling someone 4D is actually considered a compliment, and 4D idols are loved for their weirdness.) 

Demeter, a sensitive cat, she is anxious and irritable about Macavity, always thinking that Macavity is nearby.

Electra, a busy cat, likes to intervene here and there, so she is always busy and distracted. She is an adorable, fluffy young kitten.

George, a braggart cat. is a spontaneous, stubborn and dignified cat always on the alert.

Tantomile & Coricopat, the twin cats. As feral cats they are wild, have excellent cognitive abilities, and have a sixth sense that other cats do not have.

Grizabella, the Mesmerizing cat, was once a beautiful cat and a member of the Jellicles, but she has gone to the world outside of the Jellicles and has gone through a painful and difficult time, and now she is old and shabby. She wants to come back, but is ostracized.

Gus, the theater cat. The second oldest cat after the prophet cat. He was a famous actor in his younger days, but now suffers from palsy.

Jemima, the curious cat, best friends with Victoria. She is a curious, intelligent, and innocent kitten.

Jennyanydots, the Gumbie cat; She always sits around during the day, seeming lazy, but at night she is busy educating the kittens. She is like a mother to the Jellicle cats.

Jellylorum, the kind cat; she always takes care of old Gus and looks after the young kittens. She is a warm-hearted cat.

Macavity, the villainous cat. The mafia of the cats; he is the center of evil, notorious for committing crimes and kidnapping other cats.

Mr. Mistoffelees, the magician cat; he can make objects disappear and reappear. He can perform various kinds of magic and is very competitive.

Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer, the thief cat couple; a playful and resourceful burglar cat couple who are always together and get into trouble, but are also fun and lively.

Munkustrap, the Moderator cat. He protects and cares for the Jellicle members. He has a noble, royal-like dignity and serves as the guardian of all the cats.

Old Deuteronomy, the prophet cat. The leader and ancestor of the Jellicle cats. Wise and knowledgeable, he is respected by all. At the Jellicle ball, he chooses one cat to ascend to the Heaviside Layer and begin a new 'Jellicle' life.

Rum Tum Tugger, the rebellious cat. The most popular Jellicle cat. He has strong opinions and likes to be the center of attention. Like the tree-frog, he's opposed to everything, but his presence alone is very charismatic.

(“청개구리” is an idiomatic term which refers to the Korean folktale story of tree-frog / blue frog. In the story, the young frog causes trouble for his mother by always doing the opposite of what he’s told. If you ask him for sugar he’ll give you salt, if you tell him to quiet down for bed, he’ll make a fuss etc.)

Skimbleshanks, the railway cat. A conductor who lives at the train station. He is an organized cat responsible for everything related to the trains.

Victoria, the white cat. The purest and most innocent cat. She performs an enchanting dance for the first time at the Jellicle Ball.
