#anyways mole and rat were dating in my canon

[theradicalace]

today on “things literally no one asked me to do": i charted out my headcanons for all (most of) the htf characters interpersonal relationships. several of these have little to no basis in canon and are just based on what amuses me

this shit is damn near illegible even to me, so under the cut is a full explanation and notes on each relationship. be warned, it is VERY long

to simplify, we're gonna sort these by character

cuddles!

good god, this bitch is friends with everyone

cuddles+toothy: current romantic relationship. friends to lovers my beloved <3

cuddles+giggles: past lovers, current friends. it was like an "everyone thinks we should date, so we will... i guess?" situation that neither of them were really into

cuddles+flaky: current friends. he's a bad influence on them, they keep him from breaking his legs 90% of the time.

cuddles+lumpy: current friends. these bitches are dumb god bless.

cuddles+nutty: current dislike (one-sided). cuddles thinks this guy is SO annoying.

cuddles+lifty & shifty: current friendship. something about this unlikely friendship brings joy to my little rat brain. they're going to go spraypaint a building together 💖

cuddles+petunia: current friends.

cuddles+disco bear: currently neutral.

cuddles+handy: current friend (one-sided). cuddles thinks handy is soo so cool.

cuddles+sniffles: current friends. more of a "friend of a friend" situation (the shared friend being toothy) but they get along :]

cuddles+russell: current friends. yknow those people you just see around all the time who you aren't super close with but get along with anyway? yeah

cuddles+mime: current friends. cuddles comes to watch them perform a lot :)!

cuddles+flippy: current friends. they get along, mostly

toothy!

toothy+giggles: current friends. "isn't it weird to be friends with your boyfriends ex" not to toothy!

toothy+mime: current friends. similarly to cuddles, toothy comes to watch mime perform a lot :]

toothy+handy: current family. they're brothers in the better version of htf that exists in my heart. i know in my soul toothy is the younger brother

toothy+nutty: current friends. "we all got that one homie who ain't gonna make it"

toothy+lumpy: currently neutral. they just don't have much in common

toothy+sniffles: current friends. "c'mon man, you're gonna get some sun today whether you like it or not"

toothy+splendid: past sexual relationship. they fucked at a con once and toothy is still not sure if he dreamed it or not

toothy+shifty: past sexual relationship. a few one night stands when toothy wanted to fuck a guy who didn't give a shit about him lol

giggles!

giggles+petunia: past lovers, current friends. they were both trying to figure some stuff out. they ended up not being a match as lovers, but they're on good terms.

giggles+nutty: current friends (mutual)/dislike(one-sided). giggles has a bit of toxic mean girl in her i'm sure of it. she doesn't really like him but keeps him around because??? reasons unclear

giggles+flaky: past lovers, current friends. "the one that got away" in her eyes. is there still feelings? potentially. will she do anything about it? absolutely not.

giggles+lumpy: complicated dislike. she wants to be on better terms with him, but she's easily frustrated by his antics.

giggles+disco bear: enemy (one-sided). she is going to skin this man alive.

giggles+pop: currently neutral. she likes the pictures he posts of cub on facebook and that is the extent that they interact.

giggles+flippy: current flirting (one-sided). she thinks he's hot but he's too busy being mentally ill to notice.

giggles+lifty & shifty: current dislike (one-sided). guess getting kidnapped leaves someone a little sore?

giggles+mole: current friends. they get along, but aren't close.

giggles+sniffles: current friends. friend of a friend situation.

petunia!

petunia+handy: current lovers. voted tree town's cutest couple 5 years in a row

petunia+mole: current friends. "this is my boyfriend's boyfriend!"

petunia+disco bear: current enemy (one-sided). does anyone else hear a taser?

petunia+cuddles: current friends. this is another "friend of a friend" situation. bit of "my ex's ex" going on too.

petunia+lumpy: current friends. literally just because it's funny.

petunia+lifty & shifty: current dislike. 2 for 2 on the whole kidnapping thing.

petunia+splendid: currently neutral. she's more of a flash fan...

handy!

handy+mole: current lovers. "oh my god they were roommates"

handy+cuddles: current dislike (one-sided). thinks he's annoying as all hell.

handy+russell: past flirting, current friends. they almost had a thing going when they were younger, but russell fucked off to sea before anything came of it. they're on friendly terms now, though.

handy+giggles: current friends. "that's my girlfriends best friend." he respects her.

the mole!

mole+splendid: currently neutral (one-sided). he just thinks it's funny to fuck with him

mole+mime: current flirting. weird sort of "i hate this guy so much i could kiss him" energy.

mole+sniffles: currently neutral. somehow they ended up as coworkers.

mole+lumpy: current friends. mole is truly just here to see what sort of insane bullshit lumpy can pull off next.

nutty!

nutty+sniffles: complicated romantic relationship. there's tension there, but sniffles is too scared to say anything, and nutty is physically incapable of the introspection necessary to recognize what he's feeling

nutty+flaky: currently neutral. they tend to be too different to really end up in the same area much, but there's no hard feelings.

nutty+lifty: current sexual relationship. they're fuckbuddies i just know it.

nutty+shifty: current friends. shifty is charging this man EXORBITANT amounts of money for lsd.

splendid!

splendid+lifty & shifty: current enemies (one-sided). oh he hates these two so much. he's so pissed that he still blushes when they hit on him, too.

splendid+giggles: current flirting. damsel in distress, anyone?

splendid+mole: current enemy/rival (one-sided). "this is the biggest threat to my secret identity" *camera pans over to mole walking into a wall*

mime!

mime+nutty: current friends. aut4aut t4t friendship. i will not elaborate.

mime+petunia: current friends. they fake flirt because it's funny to them.

mime+giggles. current friends. they tend to get along

mime+shifty: complicated romantic relationship. mostly culminates in a mutual "oh for fucks sake, why HIM of all people?" they could have something really good if they would sit down and talk but mime is nonverbal and shifty is allergic to communication

russell!

russell+lifty & shifty: current dislike (one-sided). he is SO mad about the sunken treasure.

russell+giggles: current friends. he signs her environmental activism petitions. gotta protect the ocean!

lifty and shifty!

L&S+petunia, giggles, and russell: currently neutral (one-sided): these two don't give a fuuuuck lol.

lifty+shifty: current family. the brothers EVER. they care about each other but literally would never admit it, not if they were tortured or bribed (okay maybe if they were bribed)

L&S+splendid: current flirting (one-sided). make no mistake, neither of them are actually into him, but they think it's so funny to watch him get flustered. have successfully flirted their way out of him arresting them on multiple occasions.

flippy!

flippy+flaky: current lovers. they can make each other worse. oh my god they are so bad for each other. therapy immediately, both of you.

flippy+lifty & shifty: current enemies. he is hunting them for sport <3

lammy!

lammy+petunia & giggles: current friends. poker buddies!

lammy+pop: current friends. just because it's funny.

Book Review: The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

Rating: 3/5 Stars

Review:

This is an odd little book.

At first I thought it was about animals having their adventures in the woods, but turns out these are anthropomorphic animals and there are humans in this story. The first hint was Toad having a bird in a birdcage and then Toad rides a horse.

The scenes with Rat, Mole and Badger look like cozy tales from the woods while the plot around Toad looks like a Looney Tunes episode. There is even the disguising as a woman and people believing it thing.

Funny enough my favorite parts were the ones with Rat and not the most well-known ones about Toad. Toad is the only one with a consistent plot and yet I like the coziness or just weirdness going on around the other characters. There is also the fact that Toad is annoying and obnoxious and I just wanted him gone.

There will be a few spoilers from this point on, but I don't think it's anything that will ruin the story since the book is not so much about the plot as it is about the characters and conclusions they come to after certain events.

Rat and Mole have such a close friendship that at times it looked like something more I mean that I thought they started dating. Mole even lives with Rat for a while and holds his hand. They are always together and Otter refers to Mole as Rat's particular friend. However, on the second half of the book those sweet moments between them are not there because they broke up it seems since they aren’t together as much anymore.

There is at least two Summers in the course of this story so what we are told are just random days in the lives of these characters. My favorite scene is when Rat and Mole encounter the god Pan. I was not expecting that at all in this book and to be honest most scenes with other characters besides Toad don't seem to matter for the plot. They are just nice weird adventures.

I also liked when Rat met the Wayfarer and contemplated going away with him until Mole talks him out of it. Rat has been shown at the start to be very attached to his home and his routine so this was definitely not expected of him and once again I felt like there was something more there and Rat was just fascinated by this other guy.

Now, for the Toad's story which is what most people seem to remember and care about. He steals a motorcar and apparently wants to live and behave like a human. He goes to prison and then a girl that likes animals helps him escape dressed like a washerwoman. I guess those scenes with him being dressed like that and people constantly falling for the ridiculous disguise were supposed to be funny, but it was not amusing to me. Also, there is that slur for Romani people in this book and Toad really likes repeating it. Funny how Toad's story was the only thing consistent about this book and yet it was what I liked the least about it. There is this moral about Toad learning to be humble, but the thing is I am not convinced that he is actually changed by the end of the book.

The book would have been so much better without him and the humans in the story. I just wanted a few tales about woodland creatures and I only got a few chapters of that. I can always just reread the first chapters with Rat and Mole, the Pan and the Wayfarer chapters and pretend nothing else exists though. That is just my preference.

#the wind in the willows #kenneth grahame #book review #my reviews #I also found out that a particular scholar found the book very gay and everyone was shocked #you mean no one else thought this was gay??? #also the word gay is used at least twice to refer to toad but fuck him #I know it means happy but still #anyways mole and rat were dating in my canon #then they broke up and rat met a hot hobo but his ex didn't let him go with him #that's my experience with this book XD #I don't care about plot I'm just here for the gay
