Hi, GG here with a cute idea!! What if Ms. Chalice is shorter than both Cuphead and Mugman, and they like to meme on her about it? They'll coo teases at her about how "tiny and adowable" she is and tickle her when she pouts about it to lighten her up. She has very squealy giggles, which only makes her seem even smaller and cuter! She hates it! ...but she loves it.

Pffft awww that’s adorable ❤️💙💛 they’re just excited to finally be taller than someone on the isles~ (even if it’s only by like a few inches lol)

So I just read your cuphead and mugman tickle headcanons and the both were so cute! I was wonder if you had any more headcanons of there ler mood? It’s ok if you don’t!

I’m glad you like them, nonnie! Always room for a couple more :3

- Other than each other, Cuphead’s fave “victims” are Cagney, Beppi and King Dice (wither bc their reactions are the funniest and/or they provoke it). Mugman’s are Cala Maria, Grim Matchstick and Weepy (because they need cheering up and/or have the cutest laughs)

- If they team up, RIP. they’ll either attack two different spots or one will hold the lee’s arms or legs so the other can tickle them. they’re extra playful and competitive when they work together, like “I bet I can make him/her laugh louder than you can~”

- if one of them’s getting wrecked by someone else, the other might help him out...but more likely he’ll help the ler by either joining in or telling them his bro’s tickle spots.

Sorry this is a random question😅 Uh just curious, what do the cupbros look like or do when they are in there ler mood? (Like do they sneak attack them or start teasing them)

oh whoops sorry I missed this ^^;;

hmmm I think it depends on who they’re with!! Cuphead definitely tries the sneak attack - especially if it’s someone like say, Cagney, who‘s not so easy to get otherwise - and either tries to ~casually~ slide his arm around someone before tickling them, or he just launches himself at them. when he wants to be a teasy lil shit he smirks , winks and wiggles his eyebrows (and fingers) a lot.

Mugman...is a *tiny* bit more subtle, but not a whole lot lol. he also tries the arm trick, or hugs or something, but he starts grinning like a dork and blushing the moment he even *thinks* about tickling someone so it’s like, pretty obvious lol. He’s not as rough as his bro but if the opportunity’s too good to resist, like someone stretches/reaches and exposes a tickle spot, he’ll go for it.

Would you be willing to give cuphead and mugman ler tickle headcanons? (If that’s ok with you!:3)

of course, nonnie, as you ask so nicely! c: ❤️💙

Cuphead:

- A teasy and mischievous ler

- May randomly tickle someone if he’s bored

- Will definitely cheat by tickling his opponent if he’s losing a game, wrestling match etc

- Pokes at different spots to see where gets the best reactions

- Teases by wiggling his fingers over tickle spots and going “what are you smiling for, I’m not even touching ya!!” (this works so well on his brother he had to try it on others too)

Mugman:

- Shy but affectionate ler!

- Loves tickle hugs, nuzzles, raspberries etc

- Giggles along with his lee

- Lots of compliments, like “golly your laugh is so sweet, I wanna hear more of it!”

- Never too rough and sheepishly apologises after: “sorry, you were just so cute I couldn’t resist~”

(disclaimer: tem has not played mario kart in forever so I apologise for any inaccuracies XD)

“Hurry up and just pick one already!” Cuphead groaned, as Cagney hovered between the colourful characters on the screen for the millionth time. Finally losing patience, he grabbed the newfangled gizmo out of Cagney’s hands and pressed select. “There, you can be this fella. He looks like you!”

Cagney huffed, his pointy nose wrinkling in distaste, which only made him further resemble the long-limbed purple guy on screen, and retrieved his controller. “Fine, I don’t care, all of these fleshbags are ugly anyway. But I’m picking the course.”

Predictably, Cagney chose the Wild Woods track, which didn’t look too tricky. Cuphead definitely had this.

Or so he thought until the race kicked off and Cagney - or Waluigi, as he would now be addressing him for possibly forever - zoomed past him almost immediately.

“Wait - no - I didn’t tell it to do that!” Cuphead mashed the buttons frantically, but it wasn’t enough to save him from skidding off the edge of the track. “The game must be broken or something!”

Cagney snickered. “Tough luck, kiddo. Maybe if ya’d just been a little more whoa wait what the hell?!”

“Gotcha!” Cuphead whooped in triumph as the spiky blue shell crashed into Cagney’s kart, putting him in the lead again. “I wish Porkrind sold these.”

“You little shhh -“ Cagney hissed something that probably would’ve made Elder Kettle put his hands over Cuphead’s ears, if he had any. “Fine, if that’s how you wanna play it.”

“Don’t blow your petals, it’s only the second lap!” Cuphead jumped as a rogue vine slithered up his leg and poked his side, batting it away with his elbow. “Hey - knock that off!”

“What do you mean? No idea what you’re spouting about,” Cagney replied nonchalantly, but he could hear that all-too-familiar wicked grin while he struggled to focus on the race. “I’m not even touchin’ ya!”

“That’s definitely cheheheheeating-!” Cuphead let out a squeal as the vine wiggled right into his armpit, making him veer wildly off the track and almost drop the controller. “Noho fahahair!”

“Little late to start playin’ fahahair!” Cagney yelped as Cuphead retaliated by grabbing and squeezing at his stem; things rapidly descended into chaos, both of their karts flying off the track and crashing into trees as they wrestled in a tangled mess of vines, limbs and laughter.

“Juhuhust gihihihive it up already!” Cagney cackled and writhed as Cuphead scribbled furiously behind his petals.

“Ihihi’m nehehever losing to yohohohou!” Weak with laughter from the vines and Cagney’s leafy fingers now fluttering under his shirt, it took all of Cuphead’s willpower just to cling onto his controller; somehow, though, he held down the button just long enough to make it across the finish line. “Vihihictory!”

“Huh?!” Cagney stopped tickling him, distracted as he twisted his head to look at the screen. “You came seventh!”

“Yeah, but I still beat you. So I get to pick the next track.” Cuphead smirked as he watched Cagney’s kart crawl across the finish line, finally bringing the race to an end, before he moved the cursor over to Rainbow Road. “And new rules: no rules. Ready for round two?”

Cagney scoffed at him, but the gleam in his eye as he picked up the game pad told him this was far from over. “Long as you’re ready to lose - and to laugh.”

Suddenly, the game had gotten a lot more interesting.

7 with the cupbros :3c

YES GOOD EXCELLENT :D sorry this took a little while but I hope you like <3

Alpha Twin

“I win again!” Cuphead exclaimed in triumph as he pinned his and Mugman’s clasped hands to the floor for the third time in a row. “Another victory for Inkwell’s arm-wrestling champion!”

“Okay, okay…” Mugman sighed, rubbing his arm and rolling his eyes a little as his brother bowed and preened before an imaginary crowd. Their wrestling matches were fun, but Cuphead sure did let winning go to his head sometimes. “Remember, Elder Kettle said nobody likes a bad winner.”

“More like a sore loser.” Cuphead smirked, before slinging his arm around Mugman’s neck and pulling him in for a noogie. “C’mon, Mugsy, don’t be like that! It’s not easy being the older, wiser, tougher brother, y’know…”

“Ten minutes older!”

“Still counts!” Cuphead let him go, planting his hands on his hips. “Alright, fine – one last rematch! To settle once and for all who is the true alpha twin!”

He raised his fists, flexing and posing like Ribby and Croaks always did before a fight. Mugman couldn’t help but snicker at the tough-guy act – they were practically the same size, but Cuphead was scrappier and more stubborn so it was usually just easier to give in whenever they argued. Right now, though, he was kinda asking to be knocked down a peg or two.

“You’re on!”

“This match will get red hot!” Cuphead declared in his best announcer’s voice. “You ready? Three, two…”

“Go!”

Cuphead launched himself at Mugman and wrestled him to the ground almost immediately; he tried to fight back and they pushed and shoved at each other, both starting to laugh as they rolled across the floor, back and forth. Mugman was trying to avoid clanking heads, cautious not to tip over from roughhousing to actually hurting his brother, which was probably how he ended up pinned with one arm twisted behind his back.

“See?” Cuphead taunted as he squirmed and bucked, struggling to free himself. “Might as well give up now, I’m just the better fighter…!”

He let out a sudden yelp as Mugman’s free hand managed to grab his side, fingers digging in and making Cuphead jerk and swat at his hand. “Nohoho fair - that’s cheating!”

“Gee, it is?” Mugman asked, innocent tone at odds with his mischievous grin as he realised an opportunity to turn the tables. He kept squeezing Cuphead’s side until he was giggling too much to hold him down, giving him the opportunity to wriggle free as his brother fought to defend himself. “You never said that - is my big, tough, older brother gonna be taken down by a couple tickles?”

“L-lihihihike you can tahahalk!” Cuphead protested through cackles, defiant even as Mugman twisted around to reverse their positions, sitting on his legs and scrabbling under his shirt to get at his soft, vulnerable belly. “You’re way more ticklish than meheheheeee nonono Mugs not there!”

Mugman found himself laughing too as he lifted Cuphead’s leg with one hand and scribbled behind his knee with the other – he was right, he was usually the one getting tickled to pieces, but a little overdue revenge sure was sweet. “Sooo, you give up?”

“Nehehehever!”

“Okay, if that’s how you wanna play it…”

He was probably gonna get kicked in the face soon anyway, so Mugman let go of his brother’s flailing leg - only to grab his shoulders and blow into his straw, causing his head to fill with bubbles and Cuphead to collapse into hysterics. Their secret weapon, known only to the two of them and Elder Kettle – it could be dangerous if anyone else found out that felt like tickly raspberries all over their whole body, or that it made Cuphead laugh so hard his face turned as red as his nose, pounding both feet and his fists desperately against the floor until Mugman figured he’d be begging for mercy, if he could form the words.

He let up and Cuphead slid to the floor in a limp, giggly puddle, lying there for a few moments recovering his breath until Mugman offered a hand to help him up.

“Sorry, Cuppy - did I go too far?” he asked, a little guilty but relieved when his brother sat up and shook his head, wiping tears of mirth from his eyes. He couldn’t erase the lingering blush so easily, though, and Mugman couldn’t resist adding with a giggle: “What was that you were saying about the alpha twin again?”

“Alpha twin this!”

Mugman let out a startled squeal as Cuphead grabbed his hand and pulled him down in a flash, fingers attacking his sides without mercy as the room filled with peals of bubbly laughter again.

Secretly, though, this fight he didn’t really mind losing so much.
