OSMOSIS “OZZY” JONES (Tickle headcanons!)
Ozzy is a devious Ler for sure! And is playful as a freaking kitty. When that big Cheshire Cat smile comes to his face, YOU KNOW YOU’RE IN TROUBLE, BABY.
He loves the chase. Just because he hasn’t caught many germs does NOT mean he won’t catch you. That boy runs fast and is agile as heck. Flexible, nimble, and able to literally slip through and under doors if you try to hide! He’ll also call to you, saying things like ‘Come out, come out, wherever you are~!’ in a teasy sing-song voice. His pliable cellular dynamics are also super helpful in catching/trapping his prey. He’ll even wrap around you/straddle with his legs to keep ya from getting away! And despite his slender build, this guy has a little muscle and IS strong.
He likes to build up suspense sometimes, playfully wondering aloud how and where he’ll strike first and wiggling fingers and ‘tsk tsk tsking’ before starting. Or he just DIVES right in if you pushed his buttons enough. He’ll wear that cheesy grin and say his silly catchphrases like ‘Time to take yo’ medicine!’ and ‘Hey, you wanted Osmosis! You GOT Osmosis!’ And of course the ‘Caught you, germ!’ or ‘Don’t mess wit’ da germinator!’. Our number one germinator is a cop/detective, so he’ll want to figure out what spots are your most ticklish. And he’ll make a mental note of it for future use! ALSO HE CAN STRETCH FAR AND BEND GOOD. His arms, fingers, even his neck. Reaching with his stretchiness for unsuspecting/sneaky tickles cuz EVIL.
He tickles slow, then steadily faster once he hears something come out. He’ll even snicker/chuckle/laugh with you if your reactions are funny/cute! Laughter is contagious, after all. He’ll also fuel his ego here and there. And of course jokes! Some might be gross/crude like ‘Hope ya don’t wet’cherself here!’ but most of them he’ll be lighthearted, especially if you’re a good friend! He’ll rub it in and maybe go ‘Aww, how cute!’ at how ticklish you are, and just be all childish and goofball and big brother-like. He is also a tease MASTER. He’ll try to ask ‘Ay! What’s so funny? I know I’m hilarious, but this is a lil’ over the top!’ Just a fun cell who loves revenge or wants to get ya laughing!
He starts the tickle fights. Always. Especially with Leah before they get cozy behind the eye. *WINK WONK*
His goatee. Oh my gosh, that’s one of his favorite ways to tickle someone he cares about. Once that beard scruff hits your neck or your cheeks, you’ll just squeal from how tickly it is. Honestly ENDEARING. He also does neck/tummy raspberries in addition! With Leah only he does nibbles~*winks* Once you give in or had enough or been tickled to pieces (Most likely the latter cuz he’s a jerk like that, haha!) he’ll grin then ruffle your hair/wink happily before getting back to work. Revenge is sweet as sugar! But if it was for cheering you up/being overall playful, he’d feel so accomplished and be glad you were feeling better! Health is a big priority for him and mental/emotional health and happiness is no exception.
This white blood cell is quite ticklish but will hide it to the DEATH. In the episode Out Of Body Experience, we see him giggling a bit as Cilia Tyson gives him a pat down. So best guess is his sides are his sweet spot! Probably ticklish on his stomach and ribs too. He hates being tickled, unless it’s someone who’s close to him. Drix has tried to once or twice but let’s just say Ozzy did NOT take well to it, hahaha!
His laugh is SO cute. Kinda raspy and throaty, but deep, loud, and ADORABLE! Hunches shoulders when he laughs and tries to squirm away with his stretch powers! It’s like it comes from his nucleus/heart and honestly Ozzy had so much trauma in his childhood cuz of losing his family and such that he NEEDS to laugh! And his genuine smile when he’s cheered up or happy is something to behold. Also, he can squeal/unmanly scream or laugh in a higher pitch if he’s surprised or reaching his limit! Rubbing in his ego makes him protest BUT IT’S CUTE!
Is a panting, slightly blushy mess after being tickled. And he blushes a deeper shade of blue instead of red!! It’s absolutely precious! He’ll either retaliate if he has the energy, or pout, grumble, and make the tickler swear not to mention it to anyone. Especially Maria or Spryman.
