Tugger getting rejected :0

[goodnight-bloodsucker]

2 and 13 for the fandom asks! <3

2. OT3?

This is so niche lol- Sedgecreek/Blackclaw/Mistystar from Warriors. But ONLY my in rewrite.

13. What's a character or ship you haven't written/drawn yet but would like to some day?

I'd love to write for Tugmeter or any of the new StEx characters!

[munkustance]

Rum tum tugger for ask game >;0

My NOTP

Etcetera x Tugger. I just can't see it at all and it makes me a bit uncomfortable. I see her as his biggest fan and somebody she can look up to, not a romantic relationship.

BROTP

Why is this one difficult???

Like maybe Munkustrap and Tugger but even that I'm not so sure about. Huh. Guess he's just a very romantic cat.

My OTP

Tuggoffelees... duh. It's just *chef kiss*

I don't think I need to explain myself on this one.

My second choice pairing for them

Altugger. It's funny because I have to ways of seeing Tugger and Alonzos relationship.

Absolutly not & Absolutly yes.

I just love their dynamic.

My fluffy pairing for them

Tuggoffelees again. I love the idea of Tugger fonding over Misto like all the time. He has this persona but whenever he sees Mistoffelees he just goes soft.

My angsty pairing for them

On and off Tuggerina. They try to come back to each other but it always fails somehow, but they love each other deaply and they will never stop. It just never works out.

My favorite poly ship for them

Bombatuggeroffelees! Gosh that's a mouthful.

Let me throw Zach Bravo, Chelsea Nicole Mitchell and Paul Giarratano at you.

Absolutely love these three together.

My weirdest pairing for them

Don't know if this is a weird pair but it sure is rare. Demetugger or Tugmeter, whichever is the right one.

Can't even explain it really. I just think it's neat.

[rainbowratsstuff]

if it’s ok can I request a tugmeter heart? 🥺

Here you are ^^

Tugger is telling what he thinks is an absolutely fascinating story. Demeter loves her idiot

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

ok but for my cats 2019 rewrite with dem as the protagonist, i can either go the expected route and do demestrap as the main ship, or i can make it UBER angsty and make it tugmeter given the backstory i hc tugger having with macavity as his father and him and dem growing up together with munk and bomba 👀

[totallyaccuratecats]

Demeter, mad: The Rum Tum Tugger!

Tugger, smirking: that's not how women usually call out my name

Demeter: I'll try to sound more disappointed next time

[0zzysaurus]

For the ship bingo: Tugmeter?

Not really a ship that I think much about, and certainly not one I actively ship, but I can see why people like it and it does have some alright vibes!!

[1-800-crystalball]

Demeter and tugger (it's random i know, i discovered this ship a little while ago)

D

I’ve seen it before and didn’t really form any opinions on it. It’s okay, a bit meh, but I have no outwards opinion

(X)

[real-reulbbr-band]

il Sistina Carbuketty is a tugmeter kitten in this essay I will….

real proof!!!!🙀

[real-reulbbr-band]

I'm slowly turning into Tugmeter/Demetugger brainrot so I need to share this idea I had.

Ok, ok so we all know how Demeter and Tugger have a similar punk rock aesthetic right? well, that got me thinking what if they had the same human or humans that happened to be alternative and so they dress their cats to be all alternative as well?

Also, Tugger and Demeter living in the same human home and being left alone together gives me so many ideas, and there are so many ways to explore their dynamic.

Maybe it was Tugger's humans home first and then Dem's human moved in with Tuggers and brought her cat over.

Like ugh I'm obsessed with the potential of them especially with sillabub as their daughter too ?like I need ittt they can be a punk family

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

thinking about Tugmeter... how Tugger and Demeter reunite after she comes back to the Junkyard, and he sees the little kitten in her arms, and just wraps her up in a hug and she just buries her face in his mane and lets him hide her from everything until she's ready to face the other Jellicles, and he's the only one that she allows to take Jemima out of her arms, because he's warm and safe and big, but not in the way that Macavity is big. Macavity is big in the way that it's intimidating, and there's no way you'd feel safe in his presence. Tugger is big in the way that he's a wall between everything dangerous and everything safe, he keeps the bad dreams away.

Just... Demeter feeling safe and Tugger holding her close and holding little Jemima close because he'll be damned if anything happens to his girls while he's around...

[goodnight-bloodsucker]

I been thinking abt Tugmeter...

Picture Demeter returning to the yard with Bombalurina, they’re welcomed with open arms.

She develops an attachment to Tugger, his lighthearted spirit and kindness really help her come out of her shell and start to break away from the pain that Macavity caused.

Then, she started feeling sick.

Jenny and Jelly told her she was pregnant, and she knew that it was Macavity’s.

She was upset, and a lot of the happiness she found started slipping away and she felt like she’d never escape Macavity.

Then, Tugger saved the day.

She confided in him that it was definitely Macavity’s kitten and she didn’t know what to do. She’d just returned to the yard and didn’t want to be kicked out for having his offspring, and if she stayed she keen that her kitten would be scrutinized against for being Macavity’s (none of this would happen of course, but she was scared they would), and she could never lie to the other Jellicles.

Tugger completely understood, and he was there for her. The two of them thought up solutions to the problem, and Tugger got a brilliant idea: He’d claim the kitten as his own.

It was pretty much a dream come true, and Tugger quickly settled into the role of a father. He was so so doting to Deme and the unborn baby.

The yard was very surprised at their announcement, as nobody expected Tugger to have kittens and not with Demeter of all cats. But they were nonetheless happy for them (even if Munkustrap was so so flabbergasted-).

Their relationship was edging on romantic before all this, but the feelings just grew and grew and Tugger asked Demeter to be his mate during the end months of her pregnancy, and she said yes. They did the Pas De Deux together at the following ball.

Then, Jemima was born. She didn’t look like Macavity at all, taking mostly after Demeter (except for the red fur but everyone figured it was genetics). That first night after Jemima was born, when Tugger and Demeter were alone with her, was the first time that they actually out loud said “I love you”.

After they did the Pas De Deux, Tugger gave Demeter a mating gift of a spiked collar much like his own. Later on, when Jemima attended her first ball (The 1998 movie), Tugger gave her a collar just like his and Deme’s.

Nobody knows that Jemima is Macavity and Demeter’s besides Demeter and Tugger (and the psychic twins but they don’t mention it as it’s none of their business). Macavity has a theory that she’s his but he doesn’t know for sure. You bet he’s just pissed that Tugger “stole” Demeter from him, hence why he tries to steal her back-

After the events of the ball, Tugger, Demeter, and Jemima cuddled all together in their den and were just so so grateful that they were together and a family.

Store Worker: Would a Mrs. Demeter please come to the front desk?

Demeter, arriving at the desk: Hello, is there a problem?

Store Worker: *points to Jemima and Tugger*

Store Worker: I believe they belong to you?

Jemima and Tugger, simultaneously: We got lost :(

Demeter: I didn’t even bring you guys here with me-
