I often refer to my bottle-raised lamb as my adopted daughter, because it’s mostly true, it temporarily keeps nosy strangers from knowing I’m an eeeevil childfree woman, and it’s hilarious when people find out. And by that time they’re usually too disturbed by the “her-daughter-is-a-sheep” thing to get on my case about the “woman-with-no-husband-or-kids-oh-the-horror” thing.
Most of my friends are aware that I do this, and will back me up in conversations without batting an eye when I reference my daughter. And the best part is that they literally never drop the story. They just 100% all the time accept that I have a two-year-old adopted daughter. The fact that she happens to be a sheep is an unimportant detail, not worth mentioning until an anecdote gets too weird to plausibly be about a human toddler.
Which actually takes much longer than you’d think, since human toddlers apparently have absolutely zero sense. “She bites if you stop paying attention to her” is believable, “she tries to eat rocks out of the landscaping” is believable, “she stuck her head through a fence and couldn’t get out” is believable. “She jumped a five foot fence and came screaming back into the house through the dog door when I left her outside in the pasture” does get some strange looks, though usually not for the right reason.
Occasionally the joke gets turned around on me, though. I posted a picture on my not-tumblr blog of her wearing my glasses, and every comment was “Oh my gosh she looks just like you!!!” “I would never have known she was adopted If you hadn’t told me!!” “Are you sure that’s not an old picture of you?!”
So apparently this is what I look like:
At least she does look cute in glasses.

love how much of Aragorn’s initial interactions with the hobbits is just telling them not to say things
aragorn: could you stop casually invoking the dread name of the ancient and terrible evil that even now follows at our very heels for FIVE MINUTES
aragorn: hey I gotta take a breather can you take over the hobbit duties for a bit
gandalf: no worries got you covered
Aragorn’s given up
elrond: hey you can’t say that here
gandalf: you can’t tell me what to say, do I look like a hobbit to you
The film repositions this for comedy, but in Return of the King, there’s this scene:
Gandalf, outside the door: oh hang on, just a sec. for reasons I won’t explain; this is about to get super geopolitical. Try not to spill too many beans in front of Denethor.
Pippin: Do I have that many of them?
Denethor: right, you ignorant child! Under my skilled interrogation I shall force you to spill the beans.
Pippin: I know three things about beans and will share them (under skilled interrogation, discourses for a full hour on beans, the preparation thereof, the cultivation thereof, and the Shire’s various thoughts on beans in general)
Gandalf: (pretends to be annoyed) denethor if you wanted SENSIBLE discourse on geopolitical beans I am RIGHT HERE
Denethor, fascinated: no! I already know everything you’re about to say and I’m NOT accepting criticism at this time. And I genuinely have no idea what this guy’s going to say next - do you have ANY idea how fun that is for me
Pippin: now the classic market share of baked beans inna tin belongs to Heinz, but I myself am a Branston man, because - referencing my previous statements - if you want beans, you do NOT need to faff about with a tin opener. The decision to retain the pop-top -
Gandalf: this is unbelievable. denethor, can we -
Denethor: BZT! ✋ let him cook
(Later)
Pippin: are you mad at me for talking about beans for an hour
Gandalf: it was, in a weird way, the best move on the chessboard, and so politically savvy that it furthered three of my agendas, and was also really funny to listen to. Denethor has the long sight; he is accustomed to reading the minds and hearts of men at a long distance, these long years. Actually, maybe this has jaded him as much as anything else. To meet a mind whose umwelt, whose very nature, he has not already fully plumbed is not just an act of political obfuscation on our part; for Denethor himself, could such fresh provocation burst his stagnant social bubble, and save him from being so terminally fucking online? Might we have uncovered the potential of a Theoden thematic parallel? Much to ponder. The only unfortunate bit was that you kept freezing up and looking guilty when Denethor asked you about containers
Pippin: you said not to spill any beans and I was worried he’d trip me up
Gandalf: it is, as ever, like talking to a fucking genie with you people

One of the things I love about the 1998 Cats film is how much Munkustrap just so obviously adores every single cat. The vibes are very sweet among all of them but it's the way he's such a large, solid presence, but his face goes so soft with love and pride. And as a big cat, he has big movements, but when he's interacting with the other cats, those movements become careful and gentle. He respects the elders, cares for the kittens, tries his best to protect everyone. Singing about Jennyanydots. Every word, movement and expression telegraph his care and respect for her.
Even when Grizabella appears, he's not nearly as hostile as some of other adult cats. It's tense, sure, and he fends off the younger cats, but there's a distinctive. I believe, in his mind, he's protecting them. He definitely doesn't accept her, but there's something. Now this one I'm not so sure about. As Grizabella slinks away, he reaches after her. I feel like this indicates some conflict within him. He's not willing to go to her, but part of him wants to, or doesn't want her to wander back into the cold, alone.
I have so many thoughts and emotions about this one.
Anyway, on to Bustopher Jones. His pride at being greeted by Bustopher Jones is adorable
He stops Bustopher to show him that Mistoffelees has rushed up, and then has a chair (a hat) brought out for him and helps him onto it. And his face when Bustopher talks about food is so sweet. He's hanging on to every word. (Unrelated, but Mistoffelees following Bustopher around like a duckling is so funny and cute)
In Old Deuteronomy, pictures can't really translate his slow, gentle movements as he pets and touches any cat who reaches out to him. I can't emphasize enough how important touch is to the jellicles. There's a reason Grizabella begs to be touched. The cats pet and nuzzle to show affection and acceptance.
And then Deuteronomy appears. The delight in his face is just glowing.
More gentle touches as the cats approach their leader, offering reassurance
Open arms. Welcome.
He so obviously wants to rush forward to greet his father, but at the last moment he kneels and sends the kittens forward first.
And at last, he gets his turn. Munkustrap spends much of this song and a few songs ahead holding Deuteronomy's hand and offering the old cat support to help him move around.
I love how upset he gets at the cats messing up his play. He tried so hard to have it perfect for Old Deuteronomy
NOOOOOOO
Oh no, a Macavity scare! Before, he scattered with the rest of the jellicles, but Deuteronomy isn't so mobile. Activate Potect Mode! Can he get any wider???
Throughout much of the ball and several following songs, he sticks close to his father, helping him get around and acting distinctly protective. His group's most vulnerable and respected member is now his responsibility, and he is taking it very seriously.
When Grizzelda returns, once again, he plants himself a barrier between her and the rest of the cats as a protective barrier. Cruel to her, for sure, but clearly protective of the rest.
Oh no! It's Macavity for real this time! And he's taken Deuteronomy! Munk launches into action, chasing him to get their leader back. And when it seems like Macavity is coming back, he's right back to protect, to touch, to reassure.
He fights to protect Demeter and is injured, but the rest of the jellicles drive Macavity off. Despite his injuries, the first thing Munkustrap does is go to Demeter and the two comfort each other. (I'm pretty sure this is him)
I feel pretty sure the cats aren't particularly possessive about partners, but I feel pretty sure these three have something going on, probably linked by Demeter. This is unrelated to his general devotion to the jellicles, but i love the screenshot.
The little air punches while Mistoffelees is dancing. He fully believes in my best boy.
That's pretty much all I got, but it's such a highlight of the show. The affection between all the cats is palpable, and I feel like he's a massive part of that, due to having so much presence and the actor's phenomenal performance. Man I love this musical, and the hyperfixation has me in a chokehold.
#i absolutely love this analys and you're right#I'd add from myself the moment when Tugger starts singing with him about Old Deutoronemy#Munk is cautious for a split second (Tugger often means pranks) but when he realises his brother really just wants to sing with him#and is serious for once and full of respect (in his own tugger way)#then Munk just. beams at him and is so excited and proud that they Tugger is singing with him

Some more old fan remixes of some of my favorite songs. These stray from the usual 'soft and sparkly' motifs I used before, getting more involved and expanding on sound fonts (while still utilizing Spectrasonics in several of them).
One of my first attempts to actually stay close to how the original track sounded. Did not recreate the whole song, instead made a loop.
Probably my longest and most involved remix, composed almost entirely with Jummbox with the only exception of drum samples.
This one track had two variations that could be heard in certain parts of this old edutainment game, both of which I tried recreating. Composed entirely with Jummbox.
A quick test of "The Walk of Life" from Rayman 2. Never got around to finishing this.
One of my proudest remixes yet. Made use of Spectrasonics and various sound effects to capture the feel of the Cell Stage here.
One of my all-time favorite Kevin MacLeod pieces that I had to try and remake. Had fun with Spectrasonics on this.
These are just fan remixes. But please don't use these without my permission.

Chat Noir is a perfect character because when given a miraculous every other character takes it very seriously and usually acts like themselves but more responsible, and then Chat Noir acts like a weird furry cat boy for some reason. Nothing about the cat miraculous requires he runs around on all fours and makes cat puns he does that for the love of the game.
