#cats the musical #grizzabella the glamour cat #victoria the white cat #demeter (cats) #I’m having thoughts again #familial headcanons #I went into this thinking of Demeter and Vic as sisters and how Victoria is able to have a more innocent outlook on her mother which #Later enables her to forgive Grizabella #but #Demeter wants to but can’t fully bring herself to follow through #because is it really worth risking her safety with the jellicles and how they regard her for someone who’s left her behind? #So Demeter in a way is almost controlled by her fear while Victoria is controlled by her want to forgive. #But this also works almost as a generational trauma thing. With Demeter being abandoned by her mother and wanting to forgive her but can’t #And her daughter (in this case victoria) having that unbroken trust and open empathy too #Not saying dem is some scaredy cat but she understands the consequences of forgiving or touching Grizabella in the eyes of the jellicles #Too soon #More then Victoria would #Like just look at how Munkustrap calls bomba over when Demeter is presenting more and more of Grizabella’s story to everyone #My hcs

Plz info dump about ur human au!!!!

AHHH GLAD YOU ASKED!!

okay so i posted chapter one already, im currently writing chapter four (i like to write ahead lmao). i have the concept planned out already, ive been planning this fic since like september or something dkdndkdk

so basically, it's a human, high school setting au where tugger is the main character and most of the POVs focus on him, however other characters, especially misto, will have their times to shine and stuff like that

tugger is 17 in age, a junior in high school. his basic mindset is that he feels like it doesnt matter what his future looks like because what's the point? (he struggles with that burnout yknow). he fucks around a lot, he has a habit of appearing at schools at the most latest times (like period 2 would be starting) or he doesnt even show up at all. he flirts with like literally anyone who wants attention from him. he doesn't give attention to anyone else, people have to come up to him. he never does his assignments, barely pays attention in class, he just doesnt care anymore and he's fine with that mindset. munkustrap is the one who succeeds so what's in it for him? he doesnt wanna become a carbon copy of munk or his dad.

misto is 16 years in age, he's a new kid in the school. victoria is his sister who's a year younger than him. he's shy, quiet, prefers to be alone and feels uncomfortable if a group of loud people are surrounding him. he has trouble reading social cues and doesn't really have much feeling for conversation (very much deadpan humor for him). tugger immediately finds him interesting. is it the eyes? is it the fact that misto literally did not notice tugger's presence for like 5 minutes? tugger knows that there's some secret that he's hiding. how come this kid who went to one of the top private schools in the county is now attending a public school? there's a certain something about misto and tugger can't put his finger on it.

later in the story, the plot will progress to the production of the spring musical which is run and directed by munkustrap with alonzo as the choreographer and demeter as the music director. at the same time, tugger's feelings about misto will progress and eventually, misto will fall for him too. i really want to focus this fic on bonding and getting together, really forming a close relationship before the feelings really start to show, im so excited to write about tugger and misto's story in this fic! there will also be side plots about bombalurina and cassandra getting together, munkustrap and demeter's relationship, victoria and plato getting together, hidden feelings from tumblebrutus, hidden feelings from alonzo, and much more!

macavity will also be a crucial factor in this fic in regards to both misto and tugger's past and present. there's also some things im keeping secret for later chapters!!

(please be warned though that later chapters will be heavy in terms of dark topics, suggestive themes, of course, i will put the warnings ahead of time. i always love to sprinkle a bit of angst into my silly little stories)

i plan to post chapter 2 soon! and i hope you all like the character designs i made for them, ive been so excited to post this fic, tuggoffelees is my entire brain rn and i cant think of anything else.

also, for reference:

tugger, bomba, cass: 17 years old, juniors

misto, plato, tumble, jerrie, teazer, tant, cori: 16 years old, juniors

vic, etcetera, electra, pouncival: 15 years old, sophomores

jemima: 14 years old, sophomore (she skipped a year, shes too good for this world)

munkustrap, alonzo: 25 years old

demeter: 23 years old

jenny, jelly, and asparagus are teachers in the school, gus is the principal. old deuteronomy founded the school and also owns the community theater in the town. jenny and skimble are married, jerrie and teazer are their kids. skimble is a traveling train conductor, we'll see him later in the fic. bustopher jones is misto and victoria's father, he owns several country clubs. old deuteronomy travels around the world to help produce shows and to spread the love and joy of performing arts, tugger and munk barely get to see him.

other characters like bill bailey, george, gilbert, and so on are also present in this fic but theyre more or less in the bg

i do have tons more i want to say about my au, but i dont wanna spoil the surprise in my fic! stay tuned!! (and thank you for asking ahhhhdnekdkdkd)
