I love this scene so much. The bit of quiet and softness after the Macavity fight and before Mr. Mistoffelees is amazing tonally. The moment between Munkustrap and Demeter is so incredible, done in very low light and with no dialogue but very well acted. It is an amazing character moment and I've been wanting to try my hand at it for a long time. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Three images. Each features a pair of cats kissing beneath a sprig of Mistletoe.
First image: a silver tabby maine coon (Munkustrap), leaning down to gently kiss a small gold cat with black stripes (Demeter)
Second image: an orange and white cat (Plato) and a white cat (Victoria) kissing each other’s cheeks. Victoria’s face is obscured. Their tails are entwined to form a heart.
Third image: A brown tabby maine coon (Tugger) has pounced on a shrieking black cat (Mr. Mistoffelees). He is enthusiastically licking Misto’s face as the other is screeching at the indignity of all of this.
if you see this random man on the street that’s not a random man on the street that’s my husband human AU Munkustrap and you need to tell him to go home because i need him to kill a bug in the house
Finally drew full-body versions of my Movie AU Munk and Deme, with color thrown in because I can. :3 Been a while since I drew anthropomorphic body types, happy with how they came out. Also I tried going just a bit lighter than I have before on the silver part of Munk’s coat, I think it definitely looks more genuine...going with that for versions of him going forward. x3
4. Is there a popular pairing you don't necessarily dislike but aren't too invested in?
Demelurina for sure, but I wouldn't say I'm not invested in them. I just don't see their relationship as romantic, but I love seeing art of them together. Also Bombcass and Bomblonzo, ships I don't necessarily dislike for Bomb but I'm not very invested.
10. What's your favourite piece of fanart for [character]?
Most of my favorite Bomba art is art I've commissioned! I have a soft spot for this piece by @nbdraws
14. Is there a character or ship you were so sure you would never write/draw but now you've changed your mind?
Mungoteazer! I used to just hc them as twins like most people, but after hearing the cast members talk about the two being a couple and seeing how cuddly and romantic their stage interactions are, I changed completely to shipping them as a couple.
21. Go onto your AO3. Which ship have you written for the most? The least? Does this correspond to who you consider your "favourite?"
I haven't touched AO3 in a minute, but it's probably Tuggerlurina and Tuggoffelees, with some background Demestrap and Platoria/Victeazer.
It was moments like these that were the most precious. The quiet evenings after a long day, when they’d crawl into bed without bothering to change. Curled up in each other’s arms, the scars of the past would fade. It was only them, as a family, together.
To be together was the greatest gift in the world.
………..
I had fun trying to design more human-like versions on Munk, Demeter, and Jemima! I love soft Demestrap so much ☺️
Why does demestrap got popular? Does bombalurina ever got any love? I really hate when a good character gets dirty by the fans. Don’t you agree?
sighhhhhhh hello bomba anon it's been a while
demestrap and demcavity are really two of the only canon/confirmed ships within Cats (along with platoria), so it makes sense that it'd be so popular.
and also, demestrap is just... such a good ship, the inherint ability to immediately turn to your partner when you're feeling unsafe and knowing that they're going to be right beside you, ready to protect and fight with you?? being able to trust that your partner will be there if you fall down, that they'll be there no matter what??? that's the good shit
bombalurina gets plenty of love within the fandom, if you just search her tag on tumblr you'll be able to find loads of lovely fanart and other posts all about her. and the only way i see bomba getting done dirty by fans is when she's reduced down to nothing but a stepping stone for tuggoffelees, or she's really given no real personality outside of her relationship with other cats, like tugger and demeter.
