Skimblegus Family Time--Tumble takes after Asparagus more and more the older he gets, but Teazer takes after Skimble a lot more than people give her credit for. They're both these very bright, clever, and relentlessly cheerful cats who try to put a brave face on things and hide when they're not at their best. But when they crash, they crash hard; it became a bittersweet source of reconnection after she was free of Macavity, especially since Teazer didn't realize her dad ever had bad days. She can basically only stand to be around her dads, Tumble, and Mungojerrie on particularly awful days, and Skimble's learned more from Asparagus about how not to just pack those emotions away to worry about later. Plus, you know she's feeling better when she and Tumble can start picking at each other again.

I love it so much, and I love this little family <3

#Rumpleteazer #Skimbleshanks #Asparagus #Tumblebrutus #other headcanons #jellicles ask because jellicles dare #theimpossiblescheme #and of course because you and i share the braincell i had a very similar vein of thought #that teazer got told all the time how much like her father she was and she would scoff and do everything in her power to deny that #and she'd especially hate it when mungojerrie would say it because he usually did when he was annoyed with her and they were arguing #which became more frequent when they were with macavity #and skimble was so good at pretending everything was alright he turned it into an olympic sport #he broke down very rarely and when he *did* it was a sight #i also think he and teazer are a lot alike in that they will say things before thinking them through #particularly during high stress moments - and they can be downright nasty and say things they don't really mean #before their brains catch up to their mouths because they operate so *quickly* and so on the line with their immediate feelings #skimble has learned to tone it down over the years - teazer is still young and sometimes her mouth is too big #and of course when even tumble was hesitantly pushing his rope toy towards her and asking if maybe she wanted to play #even though they were way too old at the time after teazer came back you *knew* she was in a bad way #and he feels uneasy and stays relatively in her company (and his dads can sense that he feels bad but doesn't know what to do)#basically begging her to call him names or stick bugs in his ears or a worm in his bed or *something* because whoever this queen is #she isn't his step-sister and he doesn't like it #anyway many thoughts head scrambled - i love them so much thank you <3
