im not active tee hee but has anyone done Anything with harvey from bloodmoney? cmon tickleblr look at him. hes perfectly curated for our interests. cmon. get with it.
Hi, I hope this isn't a weird ask, but where does the tickling stuff come from? I know for some people it's a fetish (which is totally okay!) but clearly that isn't the case for your art, which has more of a wholesome energy and is completely sfw. So I was just curious, what makes you like tickling that much, and what is it that makes it have a, as far as I see, a whole community? (With the lee!character and ler!character stuff and all that). I want to be clear, this is not in any way an attack, I think your art is nice and I'm genuinely intrigued about it <:3
Greetings!
I do not think that this is a weird Ask at all since I can tell that your Intention stems from Curiosity, so no worries- uwu
I do actually have a few Answers for that Question:
[Answers under Cut because I pretty much wrote an entire Essay- .w.´]
1) Tickling, for a lot of People and I, is something we view as something wholesome, playful and positive.
It can be a nice bonding Experience between People since Laughter and happy Chemicals are being released in the process during such a playful Moment (plus, many in the Community happen to be Touch-starved and enjoy physical Contact, so that has to be considered, too).
Tickling, in a playful Setting, can also be used as a Method which tackles/solves Conflicts in a certain way.
As a few Examples, a Character who is sad, self-conscious or stressed can be pulled out of bad Thoughts and cheered up by getting tickled;
Characters who got into an Argument (perhaps about a silly and trivial Matter, like who between of the two is stronger) resolve the Issue by getting into a Tickle Fight;
one Character needs Information from another Character but they don't want to harm them so they use tickling as a harmless Interrogation Tactic and so on.
Speaking from personal Experience, I am someone who grew up in a loving and caring Environment and thus I enjoy seeing others being loved and cared for, too.
So, when it comes to fictional Media like Cartoons or Video Games (which many of them tend to use Violence and Conflict as Humor and Drama),
seeing Characters getting into Situations where they are being tickled/tickle someone (either as a playful Moment, in order to solve a Problem, as a silly Alternative, as a way to exploit a Character's Weakness in a harmless manner, etc)
instead of resorting to Pain and Violence (for Example, Character A holding an Item above their Head and Character B yelling at them and/or stepping on their Foot to make them drop it),
it genuinely makes my Heart melt witnessing Characters being so tender and careful to each other.
A Method which can be so wholesome, caring, tender, adorable and silly can therefore have its Appeal to many in the Community and I.
2) Tickling, in my Opinion, can also sometimes demonstrate some interesting Dynamics between Characters.
Yes, a Villain could theoretically use their Fists to beat the Hero into a bloody Pulp or pull out a Weapon to hurt them, but what if instead the Villain resorts to tickling because as it turns out, they actually do care about the Hero and their Wellbeing or because they want to uphold some certain, self-imposed Morals and causing Agony would impede on those?
Yes, there happens to be a stoic and quiet Character who always turns the cold Shoulder towards everyone, but what if they are secretly Touch-starved and once they trust a certain someone enough, they finally allow themself to let loose and laugh themself silly upon getting tickled?
Yes, that one shy Character happens to be rather clumsy with Words and does not really know how to cheer People up with Speeches, so what if instead they used tickling as a more physical Method in order to cheer someone up?
There are many ways in which Dynamics like those can go- uwu
3) Tickling, for many in the Community, can and is often used as a coping Mechanism for many Things.
Currently, we live in a World which rapidly evolves/changes and where many negative and stressful Things happen worldwide on a Day-to-Day Basis.
Considering the Points mentioned above with tickling releasing happy Chemicals and Laughter, it makes Sense that some People use it as a Method of Escapism, Distraction, Stress Relief and Comfort.
After all, you tend to forget about the negative Things when you see People being really happy or when you yourself are too preoccupied and busy with laughing your Head off.
4) In my very own personal Opinion, I perceive tickling to be something really wholesome, adorable, sweet and caring.
There is literally a bodily Reaction in this Universe that makes People go all smiley and giggly and blushy- ^w^
Plus, it tends to reveal the more silly, humorous and good-natured Sides of People (Pun slightly intended)- uwu
With all that being said, I would like to thank your for your Curiosity and Time as well as your Appreciation for my Art- :^D
I do hope that I could provide some Insight with my Answers and that they aren't too much of a Mishmash of excited rambling- .w.´
Other People reading this can feel free to add their own personal Experiences and Opinions onto this Post if they would like to (since there are Points which I may have overlooked or not delved too much into)- uwu
