Alr quick oc fluff post to help me cope with the absolutely gutwrenching angst that I'm working on rn because writing out Midnight's backstory GENUINELY fucking hurts holy shit
i kid you not y'all ain't ready for how fucked her story is like this is genuinely the darkest shit i've ever fucking wrote
Midnight has very interesting reactions to being tickled.
Due to becoming concerningly good at concealing her emotions (like you'd literally think she was a reanimated corpse if you didn't know any better), it's damn near impossible to get a reaction out of her at first without going straight for the kill.
Pokes to her sides will get you a mildly judgmental glance at best (and maybe a barely visible flinch if you're lucky) before she'll calmly state that the last person who was foolish enough to try it immediately lost their hands. (This is only if you've gotten to the point where she trusts you enough to touch her in the first place bc if not then missing hands would be the least of your concern :)
Her response to you asking her the forbidden question would be very similar to this. Only difference being that she'd give you a blank "no, i am not" completely devoid of any and all emotion.
Buuut, if you can convince her to let you get her (she thinks it's nothing but a childish and pathetic weakness so she'll be a little reluctant at first), there are a few ways to get around her defenses.
One of which is just complementing her or using really sweet loving teases. While it may not do too much damage at first, the more you dote on her the easier it'll be to make her absolutely melt into a puddle when you actually start tickling her.
Examples: "has anyone ever told you how pretty you are~?" "you look absolutely exhausted doll, why don't you just lay down and let me tickle you until you're unable to think straight~?" "i bet your laugh is just as pretty as you are ♡"
She like literally despises the way she looks (even tho she's absolutely fucking gorgeous), so any compliments about her appearance will definitely catch her off guard.
Another thing that pretty much goes hand in hand with this, Midnight is extremely insecure about her scars (especially the ones on her face, which is why she wears a veil all the time), so touching them in any manner is an extremely intimate gesture.
Speaking of which, please for the love of God (if she lets you) gently remove her veil and pepper little kisses all over the scars on her face she will literally fucking melt.
Anyways, once you've sufficiently flustered her, those little pokes to her sides that seemingly had no effect on her will now make her nearly jump out of her skin.
Now you can just absolutely tickle her into oblivion, finding all of her worst spots and tormenting them until she's a squealing hiccuping mess
Despite her terrifying reputation and aura, her laugh is literally the most precious thing ever. It's very soft and childlike, but also super frantic and squeaky, it'll start off relatively quiet but will quickly raise in pitch and volume when you get a bad spot. She also gets a really bad case of the hiccups when she's really getting wrecked.
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned where she's most ticklish but I'm still gonna put them here anyway
Obviously she's ridiculously ticklish everywhere (her worst spots being her tummy, button, wings (all of them), back, and (the absolute worst of them by far) her lower tummy) but she has multiple little spots that will make her absolutely crumble.
Said spots being, the sides of her button, under her chin, her horns, the palms of her hands, and the spots where her hips and waist meet. She will literally die if any of these spots are targeted.
Oh she'll also start purring if you go for any of the aforementioned spots
Anyways that's pretty much it ftm. I have way more but this is already long enough as is lmao
