4, 8 and 20 for the ask game, please! <3 :D
WAAA okay so I'm just now realizing I haven't really talked that much about myself in relation to tks (other than rambling in the tags of my reblogs), so this is new! Sorry this is so long lol I got a bit carried away
4. what kind of teasing gets to you most/what kind of teasing is your favorite to dish out?
This one is tough, but I know something that has gotten to me in the past is the "passive aggressive" teases, where there's a delayed consequence. There's the ambiguous "you're gonna get it later" and "when class gets out, you'd better run", or even "do that again and see what happens"-type threats that are fun terrifying. And then there is the horror that is someone just casually telling you their intentions, straight-up. Like receiving a text out of the blue that's just like "yeah so when we get home I'm gonna tickle the shit out of you", like it's a fact and there's no escaping it asdfglgjk. Idk 🤷🏼♀️ I guess it's the building of anticipation for me, where the threat is not necessarily immediate but it creates a sense of impending doom lol
In terms of teases being used during the actual tickling... hmm. If I were to speculate, I do find the idea of trying to verbally "coax" the laughter out of a person fun probably because I'm a stubborn & non-reactive lee . Like "c'mooon, I know you wanna laugh~" -> "There it is!" is so silly and fun aaaaaAAA. I'd imagine genuine compliments would also be very flustering 🙃
8. what’s your favorite thing about being tickled/tickling someone?
Oh gosh, everything tbh 😖 I could get so sappy here so I'll try to keep it short
I guess if I had hone in on ONE specific thing, I will say the excitement. The playfulness, the adrenaline rush, the psuedo-competitive nature... all while knowing it's coming from a place of love and trust. It's also just so cathartic. Play in general helps me loosen up and tap into my poor, suppressed inner-child, and tickling is definitely no exception. It's like it shakes lose all the built-up gunk in my brain and suddenly I'm in working condition again XD
20. are there any spots you personally find underrated? where are they?
Hmmm I wanna say ears, back, and shoulders (esp. the part that connects your shoulders to your neck, dear LORD-)
I'm probably biased because all three of those are super sensitive for me, but they're just not spots I see referenced enough!!
With ears and shoulders you've got the cute little scrunch ppl tend to do. With the back, not only is it hella versatile (you've got the shoulder blades, back of the ribs, the spine, etc), but that mf is wide 👏 open 👏 like unless you're laying on your back, there is really no way of protecting it. It's just out there (free real-estate)
This was super fun to answer—thanks Kanene!! 😊💛
