“Absolutely not. I mean, well, after all, he… It was not my… He wanted to leave. Didn't he?”

Reading through this line, something about Rabbit in The Tigger Movie occurred to me: the plan that the gang comes up with in order to spare Tigger’s feelings is one of the few instances where Rabbit isn’t present to take on the leader’s role. Throughout the movie, Rabbit is preoccupied with winter preparations, so much so to the point that he, unlike the others, fails to identify the weight of Tigger’s familial dilemma. When he walks in on the gang dressing up as Tiggers in the “How To Be a Tigger” sequence, he questions what they are doing, but does not stick around for an answer, or even try to take up the leadership mantle like he normally would. In an act that is both unorthodox and so completely in-character, he storms off and away from his companions' harebrained scheme to complete his preparations, but not before ironically proclaiming, “at least I haven't lost sight of what’s important.”

To no one’s surprise, the plan falls through. But to everyone’s shock, Tigger runs away that same night. 

“It was not my fault,” is what Rabbit wants and starts to say after hearing of his friend’s disappearance. The members of the group who congregate at Rabbit’s to request his help don’t blame him for Tigger leaving, and Rabbit knows them well enough to understand they wouldn't suggest such a thing by arriving at his house all at once. But Rabbit still has the reflex to defend himself; to confirm that Tigger leaving was indeed not his doing. The one time Rabbit isn't there to lead his friends–believing they all had “lost sight of what’s important,”–the friend whose crisis the lagomorph missed completely had run off into the cold, dreary night. But it wasn’t his fault. It couldn’t have been his fault. 

“He wanted to leave,” Rabbit says, trying to reason with himself. He tries to justify Tigger leaving, searching for a reason–any reason at all–that doesn’t loop right back around to it being his fault. Because it wasn’t. If Tigger had wanted to leave, what good would it have done for Rabbit to have been present? If the bunny had been there alongside his friends to aid their striped pal in his time of need? Whether or not he could have come up with a different, possibly better plan that didn’t result in the heartbreak of the usually bouncy Tigger did not matter here. Of course Tigger would have left anyway in search of his supposed family. He was simply unpredictable that way, and nobody could predict and stop something unpredictable–not even Rabbit. Tigger had most certainly wanted to leave from the start. “Didn’t he?”

As the members of the gang try to convince a hesitant Rabbit to leave with them in search of Tigger, the guilt racks up. He finds himself struggling more and more to excuse himself from the situation as his friends go on about Tigger whilst he fixes up his winter-proofed home, the sadness visibly present amongst them making it even harder for him to dismiss them. As a look of unease–a flicker of guilt–graces his face, he asks, “what do you need me for? Why don't you go find him yourselves?” 

Pooh simply and earnestly responds with, “but we're just not clever enough, Rabbit.” 

A huge facet of Rabbit’s self-appointed leadership role is that it comes from a place where the persnickety critter truly believes himself to be smarter than the majority of his peers in the Wood. He sees himself as the most capable and responsible, and so takes it upon himself to lead whenever he gets the chance. Here however, he tries to deny the opportunity to take charge of the search party. Perhaps it is mostly due to fear of his already fragile shelter coming apart at the seams while he isn’t around. But perhaps it’s also thanks to the aforementioned guilt that he can’t bring himself to diligently lead his friends in searching for the one who he’d inadvertently let slip away. 

Before he can respond to Pooh, a small voice makes itself heard. Rabbit catches sight of Roo, who just tells him that he misses Tigger. The final nail in the coffin. Here is where Rabbit truly can’t bring himself to deny them his help anymore. Here is where the guilt is finally too profound to excuse. 

Here is where Rabbit decides to lead his friends again.

Was having thoughts about The Tigger Movie at an ungodly hour in the morning again a few days ago—as one does—when the realization of “wait a second, Tigger can’t READ” hit me as I remembered the scene where he’s gushing about the letter from his ‘family.’

This then lead to me realizing Hold On, that means somebody had to have read it to him, which means instead of constantly reading the letter to himself, he just memorized it all from that one time it was read aloud to him and held onto it for most of the film. insert emotional Remy reaction shot here.

But then the question of who exactly read the letter to him arose, and it couldn’t have been anyone who took part in the initial drafting of the letter—most of the gang also can’t read and Owl was already with the others by the time Tigger came bouncing in with the letter. So subsequently, it had to be the only other literate critter in the wood: Rabbit.

This train of thought led me back to my analysis of Rabbit’s guilty conscious in the movie whilst connecting it back to this idea that he was the one who made Tigger aware of what the letter even said; whether Rabbit himself knew it was a fabrication or not right off the bat is up in the air, but I’m leaning towards the former. Imagine that he had some suspicion about the letter considering the timing of the whole ‘looking for Tigger’s family’ fiasco—that suspicion being confirmed in some way or another, maybe through recognizing Owl’s handwriting—but then Not saying anything about it, assuming that Tigger and co. would simply sort it out amongst themselves in a matter of days or less, believing he shouldn’t have to take responsibility over a mess he was hardly even involved in.

#this is a Very minor aside but I can also see this adding weight to Rabbit’s joining in the reciting of the letter near the end of the movie #seeing as how he’d rly have no other way of knowing precisely what the letter entailed #<- insert Pepe Silvia image here #wtp #winnie the pooh #ttm #rema.txt #rabbit (wtp) #tigger

did you see the new winnie the pooh reboot?? (its called playdate with winnie the pooh or smth, just got added to d+ today and i think there's some clips on youtube) it's one of those types of spinoffs where All The Characters Are Kids and it confirms that rabbit is transmasc

I’ve seen it! A lot of people seem to have such an aggressive disdain for this show, and I think that’s just kinda silly? Yeah, the concept of “popular franchise characters already loved by younger viewers, but make them preschoolers to appeal to kids more” is pretty redundant, but that certainly doesn’t warrant the backlash/review bombing I’ve seen for this. Besides, I don’t think people give the show enough credit for at least trying to do something different with its cg animation (i.e. making it almost ‘choppier’ to resemble stop-motion animation). I’d love a fresh, 2D-animated Pooh series more than anything nowadays, but given Disney’s insistence on upholding their Brand™️ and Disney Jr’s catalogue being almost nothing but similarly-animated cg animated series, I’m not gonna start blaming the showrunners for going the direction they did.

But yeah, little Rabbit being reimagined as a girl in the series definitely fuels the flames for the Transmasc Rabbit headcanon 🫶

1 4 5 6 7 20 21 22 for the asks game for rabger (this is me holding back btw)

YESS i’m gonna be so Normal abt them under the cut

what’s their love languages?

Tigger’s is definitely physical touch & words of affirmation while Rabbit’s particularly fond of acts of service (he probably also likes physical affection, but doesn’t rly know how to initiate it/accept it). Both of em rly value quality time in my eyes

what’s their favorite sleeping/cuddling positions?

Tigger definitely likes to fall asleep while clinging onto Rabbit, holding him close while Rabbit leans into the embrace. Though, Tigger tends to move around a lot in his sleep, constantly tossing and turning no matter what manner he falls asleep in, and more often than not, he ends up just kinda sprawled over the bed on his back. Despite this, Rabbit still manages to keep close contact with him, usually burying his face in Tigger’s chest. Multiple instances of Tigger waking up to just a full-limbed embrace from a still-asleep bunny have taken place, and he’s always touched by the sight.

With cuddling, it’s a similar story where Tigger is almost always the one initiating with Rabbit leaning into it before eventually reciprocating. Tigger doesn’t really mind whichever way they cuddle so long as they’re cuddling, though Rabbit generally likes being held against his chest, running his fingers thru Tigger’s plush whilst listening to the latter purring up a storm.

who does what chores?

Rabbit’s very particular and likes to handle most of the chores on his own, though Tigger’s very eager to offer help whenever he can (he also just likes the excuse to hang around Rabbit more.) Some of chores they handle together include washing the dishes, dusting, taking out trash, and tending Rabbit’s garden. In terms of the last one, Rabbit’s initially very, very hesitant about accepting Tigger’s help in caring for his pride and joy, but the latter proves to be a better listener than expected and cares enough to where Rabbit eventually accepts it and ends up really appreciating his company in the end.

do they go out often or prefer to stay indoors?

Definitely go out often. Both of em enjoy being outside and don’t like being cooped up inside all day

who is the more romantic one?

Tigger’s the more openly affectionate of the two, being the one to use terms of endearment the most and initiating more of the physical acts of affection. Though, Rabbit probably plans out the majority of dates and other outings.

what clothes/accessories do they steal from each other?

Rabbit absolutely cannot sport a hat without Tigger snatching it off his head at least once—either taking and wearing it himself, or trying to engage the former in a game of keep-away

which of their friends/family pokes fun at them for them getting flustered/affectionate?

Owl pokes fun at Rabbit incessantly whenever he catches him getting flustered over Tigger, both before and after the pair start dating. Perhaps around the time that Rabbit begins to harbor feelings for Tigger, Owl notices how often he brings up Tigger and jokingly points it out to Rabbit, only for the latter to get all defensive over it. In the visits to Owl following the occurrence, Rabbit’s subjected to even more teasing whenever Tigger becomes a point of discussion.

Rabbit: (talking abt smth unrelated)

Owl: Lovely! Say, how’s he been?

Rabbit: Oh, Tigger’s been a thorn in my side as usual, y’know-

Owl, giving Rabbit a Very Knowing Look(tm): I didn’t say who

Rabbit: …

how do they apologize after an argument?

Rabbit isn’t the best at letting go of grudges and even worse at approaching verbal apologies. Tigger’s generally very forgiving (at times, to a fault), but depending on the severity of the argument, he might worry over Rabbit still being cross with him. And so, after what becomes a mess of avoiding apologies and each other, they both kinda just crumble at some point and—usually with insistence from one or more of their friends—approach the other all awkwardly and deliver earnest apologies, earning the relieved forgiveness of the other in return.
