OH MY GODDD let’s hear ur thoughts on the drunk confessions. i’d die
apparently i managed to open up my laptop and take some notes but the problem is that my spelling ability goes down the drain when im drunk so trying to decipher this is hilarious
just to give an example of what im working with lmao
ANYWAY drunk reader confession to reid letsgo!
so yeah like in the screenshot, reader having more courage to maybe like actually say they like tickling. maybe it's been on their mind for a while, and they've wanted to tell reid, but just lacked that final push needed to go for it. in any case, actually saying something about it and reid just takes it in stride.
i feel like he might maybe ask one or two little questions like "what do you like about it?" or maybe even "which spots feel the best?" but won't want to take advantage of you in your inebriated state
which is why he'd end the conversation with a firm "tell me again when you're sober"
and he WILL bring it up. thought you could act like nothing happened or that you got too drunk to remember? yeah no. sorry.
and even if he had been drunk himself,.........eidetic memory and all so. yeahhhhh. no luck.
he'd be like "let's talk about last night" and you can try acting coy or whatever like huh? idk what u mean, and he just purses his lips against a smile, eyes squinting like "you're such a liar" but there's no accusation behind it like he thinks it sssoooo funny (and cute but sshhh)
yeah, he'd make you have a conversation with him, like, sorry. but he's gonna give you space to freak out internally (or outward) and won't point out how much you're blushing (this time)
lol this thought just came to me now as im typing - it would be funny if he was like "yeah, i wanna do this for you. its cute, its silly. lets do it" and you'd be like "wh- now???" and he shrugs like "we can schedule a time, if you want" lmaoo
and then yall shake on it like "okay, tomorrow 8pm" like its a business meeting - but actually it was spencer trying to ease the tension and anxiety from you and it WORKED
no pressure but could you tell us a bit more about your latest fic, besides what’s in the wip list? I’m really curious about it as you post more about it
yeah sure!!
for the one im currently working on - the dean version - i went for a more serious note where reader has been raised in an environment where them being loud/noisy in any way was not seen well (details on this are kept vague on purpose as to not be potentially triggering). so it's more of an emotional toll for the reader, and reader is basically just working through those emotions throughout the fic. tickling used lightly as a way to explore the difficult feelings - sort of like exposure therapy i guess? but it's genuinely very soft and gentle, with lots of checking in throughout.
grace version for this i want to go more lighthearted - so my idea is less "can't be loud" and i went for the good old "reader doesn't like the sound of their laugh" route. i think this one is a bit more relatable to a wider group of people :) but i havent started writing this one yet, i need to finish the dean one first🙏
so number one. it's one thing for him to find out you're ticklish. it's another entirely finding out you Enjoy It.
you wouldn't even have to say anything about it, he's perceptive enough for the both of you. but he Will tease you to hell and back about it. sorry.
so like i already pointed out in the other post - he has a Teasing Voice that's very prominent. it's the mix of sounding like he's kidding around - like you're both in on a little secret joke - and at the same time aiming it Directly at you because he knows how to get to you.
"now, was that so terrible?" or variations thereof are very common in these situations: after wrecking you till you're gasping, once he has successfully manoeuvred you into his arms to get you, and - god forbid - making you admit you want him to tickle you
i don't think he's big into restraining - from seeing how he's like with buttercup, he's gentle. i think at most he would lock you into a hug, straddle your hips, or block you in against a wall. i have a feeling deep in my bones that he actually likes it more when the lee is free to squirm around. he gets a kick out of it, im sure.
if you call him mean as he's tickling you he's just gonna raise his eyebrows and (attempt to) hold back a grin. "oh, im mean, am i? how about this?" and he's switching spots and/or technique and/or increasing the intensity of the tickling "is this mean? yeah? is it More or Less mean than before? more? ah, so i wasn't mean earlier after all. good to know."
okay i took a lap around my room im back with a horrid thought
he's very good at sensing when you're craving/in need of some tickling. how he goes about it depends entirely on how he's feeling on the day. for example
if youre hanging around, maybe laying on the grass outside somewhere, hed study you for a moment, then roll on top of you
"now" he'd say, straightening to sit back on his knees "where would you like me to tickle you?"
if you start stuttering out objections that you don't want that, or, what are you talking about westley, or, what gave you that idea
he'd cover your mouth with his palm lightly and give you A Look like "either you give me a starting point, or i choose a spot myself - and i can't promise to be merciful"
so yeah haha rip my stupid chungus life
generally, i think he's happy enough to just get you without making you say anything outright to him. he knows it's part of the game, and he likes playing his part
he is, however, sometimes struck with the need to be a bit meaner - specifically in the instances where you're trying to bait him into tickling you
so, yeah, sometimes? he absolutely pretends not to know what you're doing until you're huffing and flustered and frustrated and only then does he crack the facade with a knowing, smug grin.
you'd point a finger at him like "you knew!!!!!!!!" and he looovveesss to see you a little frazzled and very flushed
"of course i knew" he'd say, crossing his arms and looking you up and down
and youre confused and looking at him like "then???? whats the issue here???"
"ask me" and when you visibly fluster even more, unable to find your words, he clicks his tongue like "oh dear, we are in trouble" but hes so smug about it
good luck if you're susceptible to faux sympathy and gentle mocking - he's def the type so go "oh dear, oh dear"/"awh i know, that's really ticklish, isn't it?"
hehehehe okay SO!!! (insp. from the dream!) imagine he’s straddling ur hips and he’s got his fingers in claw shapes and they’re nestled in between ur ribs but he’s not moving, not actively tickling, but just him putting his fingers in place tickles and the anticipation of it all has u squirming so ur moving around and every time u move, the pressure where his touch is hits at a different angle and tickles all over again. like he’s not tickling u, ur tickling urself by squirming on his fingers. and OBV he’s a snarky mf’er about this. when u complain he’s like “I’m not even doing anything! I’m just sitting here. you’re the one making this worse for yourself. just stay still” and it’s impossible but maybe you finally manage to get still BUT THEN YOU STILL HAVE TO BREATHE and when you take in a breath it moves your ribs into his fingers and the whole ordeal starts over again. and when u complain this is Unfair And Inhumane he chuckles and lets up and goes somewhere else, latching onto ur hips or knees, and the initial contact sparks the ticklish feeling but he’s keeping still again while ur body can’t help but squirm and flail under him and create more ticklish sensations involuntarily 🫥 and he thinks this is the most entertaining thing and he’s chuckling all affectionately at u and going on all smugly about how he “could probably stay here like this all day”, how he’s “not even expending any energy”. and maybe you finally manage to keep still and u think you’re safe bc he’s moved to a spot that doesn’t shift when u breathe BUT HE JUST PULSES HIS FINGERS IN PLACE LIKE TWICE and starts the whole chain reaction again oh boy 🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
hey so i literally got up from my desk to take a lap around my room.
shut up shut up sHUT UP HE SO WOULD DO THAT HE'S EVIL head in hands practising mindfulness techniques and deep breathing in for four hold for seven out for eight what the heeeEEEELLLLLLLLL
hello! i don’t know if you’ve ever said anything about this so feel free to ignore if you have, but would you ever be willing to write bloodymary fics? (isn’t a suggestion btw, just curious)
hi!!
short answer: never say never !!
longer answer: my friend is rlly into bloodymary so they send me posts about them sometimes, but i'd need to actually watch iron lung first, i think, before i'd be able to write anything for it. and then i'd have to dig through the tag on here and ao3 to see what's up lol
conversely: ryland SCREECHES when you scratch gently behind his knees. LOSES his MIND. cannot handle it. Bangs his fist against the floor levels of ticklish. Completely melts within seconds, will giggle for at LEAST five minutes afterwards - a-simple-lee
JUICY AND DELICIOUS
and he gets ssssooooo pink like his neck, face, and ears are all flushed and he'd get this silly grin on his face and try to stop it but he's too giggly. ooohhhh he'd cover his face and giggle into his hands like "you brohoke meeeeeee" AWH YEAH !!!!!!!!
Ok...after your bucky fic I have to bring up the concept of a similar situation with Grace, except it would be way more playful than with Bucky because Ryland is a little shit. Like imagine being a lil tipsy with him and accidentally letting it slip, he'd definitely give you a Look like "oh really? Tell me more about that" or he'd pounce and go "so if i tickle you right here...like this...that's ok?" And it would devolve into him continually "checking" that you were ok/enjoying yourself.
Alternatively: mildly tipsy tickle fights with him. He becomes 100 times more teasy when drunk and it results in horrific sayings such as "ohhh someone's getting giggly huh" and obervations such as "You're very tickle-able did you know that"
Provided because i got quite tipsy last week and could not stop thinking about Drunk Tickles. We're in this together ig 😔😔
anon your mind.........
and after you've sobered up he would DEFINITELY want to talk about it more, killing you instantly because if you were a little panicked about it he'd think it's soooooo sweet but also like really funny. i think even after a while, once you're both used to the tickle arrangement, he'd like to bring it up sometimes like "hey remember when you drunkenly confessed you want me to tickle you" just to see you get a little pink. nodding yeah....yeah.....
regarding drunk tickle fights YES ABSOLUTELY and also i think he'd get a lot more giggly and sensitive when he's drunk, so on the flip side taking him down would be much easier than in a sober tickle fight. if you can manage to get your head around enough to do it lmaoooooo
