8 months left

Hi guys! I know that it's no longer 8 months, but life happens, I guess. I'm currently in my last month in junior year, and my schedule is packed, guys. I won't be able to consider summer as my break either since I still have to figure out how to catch up with my peers in terms of extracurriculars.. I need to do it so I can get into my dream course in college, lol. Just recently, I accidentally slept in class, and the teacher actually noticed!! Sorry guys for the rant, but I'm lowkey tired rn, haha.

But seriously, I'm still working hard to balance my passions with my other duties. And I'm determined to see this through. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this recent piece. I took inspiration from the book where the children were first introduced together. I noticed that Sister Cat may have similarities to Jojo in Seussical, believe it or not. I tried my best to make this piece as good as it looks because I'm stretched thin rn, and a month already passed from the internal deadline that I made for myself.

That's all, I hope you enjoyed this!

Cat in the rain - Seussical

Hello! It's been a month or so since my last post here, and I would really like to apologize for that! So much has happened recently, and it came to a point that I had to focus on my personal life. Anywho, I'll be returning to updating the monthly countdown for the movie and the seussical swap au! For now, please enjoy my recent work! I'm really proud of my improvement. : )

9 months left!

For this piece, I based it on the cover of the cat in the hat book! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

[peechmangopi]

I've been thinking of creating a monthly countdown for the cat in the hat movie this year.

It would mostly focus on the Cat's relationship with children throughout the first appearance (the book) and the latest one (the movie).

I've already mapped out the countdown:

March: Cat in the Hat - Sally and the Boy

April: Cat in the Hat - Thing 1 and Thing 2

May: Cat in the Hat - Little Cat and Little Kitten

June: Daisy Head Mayzie - Mayzie Mcgrew

July: The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss (1996-1998) - Little Cats

August: Seussical (2000) - Jojo & Cat

September: Cat in the Hat Live action (2003) - Sally and Conrad

October: The Cat in the Hat knows a lot about that (2010-2018) - Sally and Nick

November: Cat in the Hat (2026) - Gabby and Sebastian

It's a little something to look forward to every month while we anticipate the movie's release.

I have two discarded drafts for the march edition:

It's discarded because I personally didn't like the composition.

What do you guys think? Is there anything else I missed?

Are Little Cat and Little Kitten his kids from I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today?

Seussical Swap AU Part 2!!

Decided to scrap the onceler storyline since I realized swapping the Grinch and General Genghis are fine on their own.

Gotta have to traumatize the General for this one, I'm sorry!

More details for the characters

The Grinch

- His story about how he stole christmas will replace the Butter Battle storyline.

- His heart is two sizes too small.

- Not big on christmas since he believes it's overconsumerism.

- He plans to scam Mrs. Mayor into believing that he's a part of some "babysitter school", when she falls for it and hands him Cat, he'll use the babysitter to gain access for the layout of the Who's homes. Except, it gets more difficult since Cat doesn't even know the layout in the first place.

Ex-General Genghis Kahn Schmitz

- In this AU, the butter battle already ended prior to the main events.

- He currently lives a depressing life after losing all of his soldiers to the battle. Leading him to question the purpose of war.

- He's at odds with himself since he built his whole life around war. Now that it's over, he doesn't know what to do anymore.

- On a sunny day while the Who's prepare for christmas. Mrs. Mayor's child and their playmate tags along, their interaction with the war veteran will change his life for the better or for the worse.

I hope you liked this! The next part will be Mrs. And Mr. Mayor, along with Cindy Lou Who! : D

Jojo - Seussical

No one else remains on the stage, except for a lone child in a foggy background. Their is a fragrant boiling pot a little ways away, to their right were an elephant and birds’ fading cries, and in front of them is the corpse of a rotting cat. They are isolated and helpless as the spotlight’s attention stays transfixed on them - but they must finish the story, the show must go on.

Went on a little side quest and wondered about a bad ending for Seussical. This is just my interpretation of that kind of end!!

Chibi design of Jojo

Anyway, I finally got to finish my character design of Jojo! It took a lot of deliberation on how I would present this kid, but I took a lot of inspiration from the book and their solo. : D

Key takeaways

- Jojo's design is heavily inspired by their song, McElligott's Pool. There's a lot of fish elements, including: red fish, blue fish, and the pet fish from the Cat in the Hat book.

- They have heterochromia, which represents a split between what the child sees (their Thinks and the ordinary world), since I consider The Boy and Jojo to be the same person.

- The singular spirals in their eyes can be interpreted however you like! But I made this attribute due to Jojo's playing of the yoyo in the book - Horton Hears a Who.

- As for the colour pallete, it contrasts each other for a while, with the cold shades being more dominant than the warmer. It shows the inner conflict of Jojo's character.

- Their colour pallete contrasts and compliments important characters in Seussical. A common example - the Cat in the Hat and Horton. The Cat's most notible colour is red, which contrasts Jojo's blue. As for Horton, who's color is grey, compliments Jojo.

- While Jojo's color is blue, the Who's take on warmer tones (orange & yellow). Jojo's blue color is to help the viewer spot the kid easily in a crowd of Whos, while also showcasing the conflict between Jojo and their parents through its shades.

- Something I notice is that Jojo is a little similar to the pet fish in the Cat in the Hat story. And the fact that Jojo's song centered on fish and the sea, which is - in the animalistic terms of predator and prey - is quite an intriguing factor of Jojo's relationship with the Cat in the Hat.

- fun fact! In one of their pockets, Jojo carries a yoyo, a toy they are skilled with.

Anyways, that's it for my rant! I nearly fell asleep because I was writing this at midnight. I hope you enjoy my version of Jojo! They're my favourite character in Seussical (๑>ᴗ<๑).

The general idea here is that almost everyone is swapped.

Jojo is swapped with the cat in the hat, horton is swapped with gertrude, etc.

What happens in the story has a lot more depth and detail, because swap!Jojo does not have the same powers as the original cat in the hat (but they still have their thinks, which will still serve as the catalyst to keep the story moving. )

More details for the characters:

Cat

- starting off strong with being an orphan, and lowk a doormat

- used to work in the creative field, but didn’t stay long because nobody took him and his works seriously (this will be important later).

- he doesn’t have a permanent job. Her previous jobs were short and could barely keep her afloat.

- During a charity event hosted by the mayor’s wife. Her child, Jojo, falls to the pool. Cat was there as a waiter and saves Jojo from drowning. Out of gratitude, the mayor’s wife hires Cat to be Jojo’s babysitter.

Jojo

- Unpredictable, can be very childish or very mature, or rapidly switch from one after the other.

- Due to their parent’s busy schedules and status, Jojo is alone most of the time. Most of the kids they try to befriend were only there for their parents.

- Despite their whimsy (creepy) nature, Jojo is still a child. They appreciate Cat for treating them like one and not like an adult.

- May come off as a little annoying, but it’s because Cat is the only one who gave them the love and attention they want from their parents, and Jojo is not willing to lose that.

Gertrude Mcfuzz

- She retains the same personality as the original gertrude, but without the feelings for Horton.

- Came to terms with her one feather tail early on.

- She’s one of the best birds in terms of flying. Which means she has good eyes (the glasses enhances that).

- It’s because of her 25/20 vision that she spots the SOS signal on top of the speck of dust.

Horton the Elephant

- He has the same personality as the original Horton, with the addition of having feelings for Gertrude.

- Insecure of his body (the jungle animals playfully tease him, but they didn’t realize that their words hurt)

- he CAN hear the Whos, which is why he believed Gertrude.

This is all I got rn, I’m still cooking up the plot for this au. Hope you enjoyed! : D

[peechmangopi]

Cooking up the other characters! So while you wait, here's some info about this au!

Mr and Mrs Mayor are swapped (WOMEN IN WHO)

The Grinch, Onceler, and Genghis Kahn Schmitz are swapped.

Mayzie, Vlad Vladikoff, Sour Kangaroo, Yertle the Turtle, Bird Girls, and the Wickershams will be swapped

This may be confusing, but it will be very clear once I finish the concept.

Additionally, here's some fun little ideas I took from the og works for the established characters (which may or may not be involved in the plot)

Cat - his personality and philosophy is inspired by Seuss' midnight paintings (heavy on the paintings involving cats)

Jojo - they're amazing with the yoyo and often forget about their surroundings when they focus on it.

Gertrude - She is a member of a sorority with Mayzie as president.

Horton - He can navigate the world with the stars, he hasn't tried it yet though.
