Happy 4th of July! Jaws is a must watch for the holiday, so I thought I’d make some headcanons! Not super long, but it’s somethin’
Not really super ticklish, but you wouldn’t know it by his reactions
He flinches & curls up on himself & he’s grinning ear to ear, but he holds off on laughing until he literally can’t hold it in
More of a ler than lee, but will let his wife & sons gang up on him from time to time
Too professional to start anything with Hooper & Quint, but he’ll damn sure finish it! One time Quint was bullying Hooper & he finally snapped & told him to knock it off or else. Quint called his bluff like “c’mon, we both know you won’t do anything, Chief” & those were the last coherent words he spoke for a while
A surprisingly playful ler once he’s dragged into the fight
Gets a lot more physically affectionate when drunk. Nothing crazy, but he likes to rest his arm around the shoulders of whoever happens to be closest. Also tends to shake you by the shoulders or squeeze your knee when he gets excited
More ler than lee, but will let his wife & kids gang up on him ‘cause he knows he doesn’t play fair all the time
I feel like his worst spots are probably his feet, knees, & ribs
Goofy ass motherfucker right here
Like have you even SEEN how wide & genuine his smile is? Have you even HEARD how silly his laugh is?
He canonically wheezes when he laughs like come onnnn
Bro literally sounds like a barking seal sometimes, his laugh is so infectious, you can’t help but giggle along! I feel like Quint would probably mock his laugh to tease him, & tickles him when he realizes he hurt his feelings to make up for it
Speaking of giggling, he is the giggliest man Brody & Quint have ever known
Laughs the hardest at his own jokes because no one else will
Quint catches him making faces at him behind his back & wrecks him where he stands (he still won’t apologize tho)
He’s so used to his university buddies ganging up & tickling him, so if Brody or Quint make any kind of sudden movement towards him, he flinches away & goes into a defensive stance & already starts giggling nervously
Gets super shy & flustered when they question him about it & tries to brush it off
Very energetic & talkative, so when they’ve had enough, Quint & Brody will just look at each other before pouncing
He’s a switch, but definitely more lee leaning
Worst spots are his tummy, thighs & armpits, but his neck & ears are also really bad
He would literally rather die than admit he’s ticklish
He thinks the whole thing is stupid & childish, & acts like it’s beneath him. But for someone who always says that, he sure doesn’t mind being the one doing the tickling
He’s so hardened & grizzled sometimes he forgets how good it feels to cut loose & laugh with friends. Again, he’d never say it tho
Kinda self conscious about his smile if he doesn’t have his fake tooth in, but he plays it cool most of the time & makes jokes at his own expense
Acts like he’s so serious but he loves roughhousing & joking around, especially if it means getting to playfully bully someone (Hooper)
Practically turns the poor guy into his stress ball & “punishes” him for things that aren’t even his fault or just makes up excuses to wreck him
Got fed up with Hooper’s silly lil pirate voice & tickled him until he promised to shut up
They found out he was ticklish when they were all drunk & Brody prodded his side while teasing him. He flinched & choked back a laugh & Hooper immediately called him out like “”not ticklish,” my ass!” & pounced
Starts most of the tickle fights that break out, although they tend to be a little one sided. Unless Brody gets involved & he & Hooper gang up on him
Teasiest motherfucker on the ship, but that’s not really saying much considering there’s only 2 other people on board. But still (I mean he literally told Hooper he had “city hands” the first time they met. So y’all KNOW he has some devastating teases lined up)
I think it goes without saying that he’s a heavy ler leaning switch
Worst spots are probably his hips, sides, & either knees or ribs. You gotta be a bit more persistent to get him laughing tho
