this is not the first time I’ve posted a gifset of Raffish!Tuggershanks from the Breda 2007 bootleg. However it will be the first time I expand on my thoughts a bit more.

The first post I’d made had as its caption, in o, so many words, “and they were matelots” And that’s still a good way to sum them up, but I’m just. a bit more fascinated with them and their physicality this year round asdfacsd they do feel like an old married couple.

Skimble and his back touches that aren’t even always to steady/calm tugger, he’s just used to doing it so he does; Tugger’s contact with him not being as habitual/absent-minded, but the deliberateness of kneading his butt, or of throwing his arm around Skimble’s shoulders without a glance to the others, they seem that much sweeter as a result

And, of course, waiting until Skimble isn’t looking so that he can play around with the sword, only to be stopped with a look and follow him to bed like. alsduihflisdufh the jury has reached a verdict: They cute

Here’s the announcement for the Second Annual Tuggershanks Weekend!

The first weekend of October (the second through the fourth), dedicated to the ship between Skimbleshanks and The Rum Tum Tugger!*

If you want to participate, be sure to tag your posts with #tuggershanksweekend, and tag us for good measure!

(Here’s the No-go list for things we won’t share)

*-This is definitely not the only time we’re accepting Tuggershanks/the only time we’ll be sharing Tuggershanks: it’s simply an event that Skimbly started last year, on the anniversary of the actors in the Broadway revival making the ship canonical for a day!

Loose Prompts transcribed below the cut!

Oct. 2: Raffish

Two regular members of Growltiger’s Pirate Crew! Perhaps…they were matelots?

Oct. 3: 2019

Jason Derulo and Steven McRae were two standouts in the 2019 film; imagine the power if their characters got to interact!

Oct. 4: Railway

Tugger is usually the one Skimble designates as the train guard. Does this curious cat also know his way around a locomotive?

Prompts are general suggestions, they don’t need to be followed!

I’m not sure I have any smart words to articulate this one but please look at them 😭😭😭

row I: Skimble’s just happy to be there; it’s hard to not also be happy when he’s over here laughing and smiling at nothing

row II: Tugger can flirt with the pretty lady, that’s a given, but who said Skimble could??

row III: I just love them being cute and dumb and mocking growltiger and they’re cute ok they’re cute

It's TUGGERSHANKS WEEKEND, babes!

In honour of the occasion, I present: one (1) newly minted wiki page for the ship, featuring Jeremy Davis (Broadway revival Skimble) talking about how oooo he's just so alluring.

Remember to tag any posts with 'tuggershanksweekend'. Today's / Saturday's theme is PIRATES, but any Tuggershanks will be accepted and eagerly devoured at any time.
