Fr Tho One Criticism Of Cats That Always Tickles Me Is The Specific Brand Of 'its So Weird/horny/unsettling/goofy'

fr tho one criticism of Cats that always tickles me is the specific brand of 'its so weird/horny/unsettling/goofy' that implies the critic in question thinks Cats is like that on accident. like i hate to break it to you but the song where they all speak in sync while creepy carnival-esque music plays is intended to unsettle. the abrupt transition from depressing bittersweet songs to high-energy bops is intended to give you whiplash. the rapidfire slinging of random terms that dont make sense is intended to throw you off. the unusually h‌orny undertones are supposed to be, well, unusually h‌orny. why? because

they are cats bro

if the tone/presentation/events seem strange and inhuman its because the cast of characters are, in fact, not human. like,,, Cats presents to its audience a fantastical snapshot of a kind of life that belongs to an animal on the outskirts of human society: a life of violence and community and s‌ex and ritual and utter senselessness, and then people who see it will unironically go 'wow wtf why does this piece of media lie so far outside of my scope of normality. lol 🤣'

i engaged in a whiteboard hosted by @op3ra and somehow we fell into a starlight express x the muppets rabbit hole

Stop that train!!!

“This feels wrong… I mean, the little guy just came to life…”

“I’m sorry man, but there just isn’t enough room in the workshop for him. I mean, he’s perfectly visible for anyone to see. Somebody’s bound to take him in at some point. Shouldn’t take that long, right?”

does anyone else have those like phases when they’re drawing when everything they draw looks like ass for like a solid two weeks because i’m currently in that phase and im pretty excited to be done with it
