For the goodbye prompts! Either 6 for the dad trio or 10 for ratty and mole (whichever one takes your fancy!)

I went with 10 “I’ll see you when I get back”

—

“Alright, I think that’s the last of it,” Mole said after double checking his bag for the umpteenth time. Ratty stood off to the side, looking slightly forlorn. He’d been acting strangely for the past few days and Mole was hesitant to leave when his friend was in such a mood, but his mothers had been fussing at him to visit for weeks, and there were a few forgotten knick-knacks that he’d left in his burrow that he wished to retrieve. He even (albeit, quite begrudgingly) planned to tidy the place up a bit—not finishing the spring cleaning he started a year ago, but simply making the place more welcoming for guests. The visit in the winter had reminded him of too many cleaning supplies strewn about the place in a way that made him a bit embarrassed for Ratty to see where he had lived.

“I guess this is goodbye, then,” Ratty said. His hands were shoved deep in his pockets and there was a defined slump in his shoulders.

“I’ll see you when I get back,” Mole offered. Ratty blinked a few times.

“When you get back?”

A huff of a laugh escaped Mole. “What, you didn’t think I was leaving forever, did you?”

Ratty laughed in a forced, sheepish way that showed exactly what he had been thinking.

“No, of course not,” he said, rubbing behind his ear self-consciously. “I didn’t—no, of course I didn’t think that. Have fun.”

Mole hesitated only a moment before he stepped forward and gave Ratty a hug that was readily returned.

“You silly animal,” he scolded, unable to keep a laugh out of his voice. “I’m afraid you’re stuck with me, for a good long while.”

“I don’t think I’d mind that,” Ratty said, so quietly that Mole wasn’t sure if he was supposed to have heard it. He gave his friend a squeeze and pulled back to grab his bag.

“I’ll be back in a few weeks,” he said firmly. Ratty nodded, finally looking at ease for the first time in almost a week. 

“Yeah. See you when you get back.”

“I’ll see you then.”

The reason chief gets TWO onstage kisses and mole and rat dont get one is because he stole theirs

[rainbowratsstuff]

I absolutely love ratty x mole

Mole x Ratty from WITW musical has potential to be a new tumblr ship, and that's why I made a compilation of it. PLEASE give it a chance!!

[maybejaime]

It’s finished! Not my best work but I’m trying to be less of a perfectionist… I cannot tell you the joy this musical brings me, it is truly something very special!

i was looking through my old instagram stories to find something and stumble across a headcanon i made in 2023 that ratty was ticklish. mainly because i remember seeing a national geographic video a long time ago about not only rats are ticklish but they enjoy them too (granted ratty is a water vole instead of an actual rat but the inspiration was still there). i really been wanting to draw my boys for a while but couldn't because of art block but finding that headcanon, i decided to draw some cute ratty x mole art based on it!

now admittedly, this was pretty rushed because i had to go out soon during making this and it did not help that i refused to look up pose references for tickling due to being worried that i would get... deviantart-ish results instead of something more normal and casual so i just went with "they were dancing and mole decided to be a bit silly :P"

still turned out to be pretty good tho despite all that or else i wouldn't have posted it

every time I listen to Wassailing Mice now, all I can hear is the little things Ratty does

when he lifts up Moley to put up the decorations bc Mole can't reach

the "Tommy..." when the other mouse is telling the kid to lift up his lamp

the joy when he hears he's in the song - raises arms, "I'm in a song!" biggest fucking grin ever

his shared joy with Mole at Mole being in the song too

even afterwards when the mice want the humbugs and he just says "well why didn't you say so" in that resigned yet witty way he has

I love him sm
