“... going grey,” Tugger echoed disbelievingly. He squinted at Skimble, trying to get a read on him, on how to respond. “Congrats, welcome to fatherhood?”

Bucky was a warm bean-bag weight on Tugger’s chest, and fingers were stroking through his hair, gentler than he’d ever felt.
Tugger rolled his head lazily on Skimbleshanks’ thigh (when had it got there?), and purred.

There was nobody to hold Tugger’s hair back for him when he was vomiting into the toilet bowl every morning, alone for the first time in his life.
He saw his hair going limp and dull in the mirror as he tried and failed to feed himself and the child growing in his body, because he’d never had to think about nutrition, let alone finances.
The mirror was grimy anyway, and there was mould growing from underneath it.
He’d drawn out as much as he could of his father’s money before he’d run, but it wouldn’t last forever. He had to find ways to… to make this all work. Munkustrap, and Bombalurina, and Cassandra. They were the only people he could trust.
He wasn’t Macavity’s son anymore.
Six months into his pregnancy, he hacked off his hair in angry chunks and tufts.
About a year after that, he stumbled yawning out of Cassandra’s spare room, scratching at hair that was still short and maybe even messier thanks to a much-needed afternoon nap. His baby was making happy intrigued babbles somewhere in the kitchen.
“Oh, here’s papa,” he heard Cassandra say, just as some male voice crooned baby-talk back. “Tugger, this is a friend of mine—he just stopped by to return a few books, but Bucky doesn’t want to let him go.”
Tugger was suddenly horribly aware of the fraying old tee slipping off one shoulder, where it was so used to him just tugging it down under one tit to feed Carbuckety.
Standing there, with one side of his moustache grabbed in a chubby baby fist and the expression of amiable greeting fading to shock, was Skimbleshanks.
“... You look terrible,” he said, after fifteen frozen seconds.
Tugger leaped forward to snatch Bucky away. Then he started to yell.
It was the first time they startled their son into crying.

Tugger’s hair. How do I even begin to explain Tugger’s hair?
Effervescent, one girlfriend had said, scrunching it into ringlets between her fingers.
Like a golden retriever had sex with a lion and gave birth to a My Little Pony, someone else had called it.
A vanity, but a strategic one, his father had said—smiling that sly, distant smile that might have been mockery or approval.
Skimblesimps (AKA @munkthehunk and @linadoonofficial)
did you know Skimble has such BDE, and so consistently, that there used to be a (joke) theory involving socks?
ᗩᒪᒪOᗯ ᗰE TO ᑭᖇEᔕEᑎT…. ✨
That’s not a sock. 😏 😋
Okay FIRST OF ALL Skimblesimp is an amazing term and thank you so much for that 😂
NOW you have actually slain me I can’t handle BDE Skimble!!
I’m having thoughts about Tommi being Skimble and I am wondering respectfully if he fit this as well…. *cue me running to look at pics of Coricopat*
You want Tommi Skimble?
He may not have the BDE but he’s the cutest Skimble of all time I SWEAR 😭😭😭
Here are some more helpful socks!

the socks have been upgraded
(This is @skimblyshanks‘ fault for chronicling Skimbleshanks’ attempts to keep track of his wayward son’s carryings on during the Macavity scares.)
Meet Skimbleshanks, the worried dad whose eternal quest is keeping track of his boy!
Also featuring such lovable characters as…
His other kids, who are usually the ones who get Pouncival lost in the first place!
Tumblebrutus and Plato, Bad Influences whom Pouncival meets on his adventures and who Lead Him Astray (also George, who never notices)!

Don’t think I won’t make something For this, Whit
oh no... that would be terrible... what would i do...
Skimbleshanks is basically misto and Victoria’s adoptive fathers
Please reblog/comment if I should explain more!
OH WAIT I GOT YOU
and also this one
but ALSO you should definitely add your own because I’d love to hear your take on it. :)
Damn it! You’re making me want to draw the cats as sheep!
Good luck on your art project! We will be here, waiting patiently and excitedly to see what you create :)
Yes! Please do it! Having your art for this AU would be so great!! Also, Rooster would fit as is in this AU, but I was thinking… what if Rooster was a literal rooster? All farms have one, right? ;)
YES Rooster would fit right in! And of course he must be an actual rooster!
And thank you
Don’t encourage me. I already have a bunch of headcanons for ‘Poultry: the Musical’.
Share your Poultry au! But know that I will not reblog it, as this is for the joint venture that is SHEEP: the musical :)
Bustopheather Jones would like you to know that that is discrimination against chickens.
PLEASE STOP THESE AUS ARE GETTING TOO POWERFUL
Munkudoodledoo can’t hear you.
OH MY GOD WHIT
#PFFFFT#MUNKADOODLEDOO#that sounds like something tugger and the kittens would shout#to annoy the hell out of munk (tags from @uppastthejelliclemoon)
It’s a common misconception that Munkudoodledoo is the one who crows in the morning to wake everyone up. He actually tends to roost late - or he would, if a little red bantam wasn’t busy keeping everybody precisely to time.
Speckleshanks won’t let anything go wrong.
A Skimbledump from 1 am
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
@the-cat-at-the-theatre-door you are absolutely right about the glasses
.... this
this is
you realise you completely UNDID t. s. eliot and returned exactly to the KIND OF HUMAN HE WAS VISUALISING when he looked at that officious cat on a train platform and said, ‘you, i recognise you as a Type’ and started to write a poem in his head?
this is human skimble sorry i don’t make the rules.
Skimbleshanks… please be gentle with the Jemima.
skimble THERE IS SKIMBLE
... goodness me, he’s very nimble
Skimbleshanks… please be gentle with the Jemima.
Listen…LiStEn…So it’s theorized that one of the reasons cats in a family group groom each other is because it maintains a scent for the family unit, right? Ok. Hear me out here. Jerrie and Teazer finally manage their way out of Macavity’s grasp. They haven’t seen their Jellicle family in what seemed like ages. They get to the Junkyard/the Railway station/Victoria Grove/wherever, and Skimble’s the one who runs into them first. And then it’s just. 72 straight hours of being groomed like they were still the tiny kittens that left because Skimble can’t lose his babies again.
That one time Mistoffelees was a himbo too.
Siamese: pokes Plato with trident
Plato: hey that’s not nice
Mistoffelees: did you poke my bro? not cool
Plato and Mistoffelees: okay, back to singing about a parrot and playing with plato’s headband!
( plato also whacks skimble in the face with his headband in the last gif )
Oh yes, he’s having great fun swishing it around all over hte place and doing his best to get both Skimble and Mistoffelees. It’s his own fault it ended up in his own eye instead.
Skimbleshanks: AI AI AI AI AI AI AI
Electra: I kick the air in front of you, sir!
Munkustrap: STAAAAAAAAHP
