Tuggershanks

Tuggershanks is the fandom pairing between Skimbleshanks and the Rum Tum Tugger.

''As far as Tugger goes... Tugger and Skimble have a pretty complicated relationship. Because... I mean, Skimbleshanks likes the rules, he likes to follow the rules, and Tugger certainly... likes to break the rules! So there are a lot of times when it's just too much, Tugger's just too much for me, and I just can't stand how disruptive he is!

''But... oooh! There's something so alluring about him! He's just the best!

''And you know what came to me the other day? We were doing the show, and Tyler Hanes (who plays Tugger) was doing his cross in front of me, and he shouted "I LOVE ME!!" And... and I went "I LOVE ME TOO!" And I realised how similar they are! Skimble and Tugger - they really are similar! - they just love themselves so much!
