Alright time for another tickle headcanon post this time it's an anon request: IMAGE_FRIEND!!!!!!
Look how polite they are they're just a silly funny kittycat-
Lee:
How exactly would one tickle a being like Friend? It's actually not as hard as you'd think. They're semi-solid, so your hand risks getting absorbed into their body. It's a little cold, and you swear you can feel something akin to a skeleton, but it's fine. It's all fine. It doesn't hurt. Just feels strange (for you).
But for Friend? Depending on where your hand sinks in, you might get that strange little laugh. Not much of a squirmer, really. You might get rabbit kicked several times.
Their stomach is an obvious weakpoint, but you have to be careful how you approach because you might get grabbed or clawed by six different arms. Reaching around from the sides or the top is the only safe approach.
Under the chin will earn you a distorted purr, as will behind the ears. Not very many weak spots on this one unfortunately!
Really doesn't mind being tickled, and doesn't seem to have a limit? They'll just keep laughing and letting their attacker have their fun.
Ler:
Yepppp here's where they REALLY shine! They especially love getting revenge, but are no stranger to launching the first attack, either.
The only warning you get is their signature laugh before they pounce. If you're fast enough to dodge, start running. They aren't giving up until they get their paws on you. Even if it takes hours or days. INCREDIBLY persistent.
Think you can hide from something that can go out of bounds? From something that can convert itself into different dimensions? Something that can even enter the light world? It's not a matter of IF Friend can catch you. It's WHEN they catch you. And trust me, the chase just riles them up even more.
Will tease their victim as they slink around casually. They already know where you're hiding, they just want to make your heart skip a beat or two in anticipation.
When they do finally catch you? Ohhh rip in pieces buddy.
Pounces on their victim, giving them that same wide smile as always, tail whipping around in excitement...
They can have as many as eight legs if they want to. They pin their victim by hovering just over them or laying directly on top of them, letting four paws knead and scratch around in whatever sensitive places they can reach. Which is all of them by the way.
They're just a LITTLE sadistic in that way that cats are. Friend loves watching their victim squirm and takes notes on their reactions and noises. Will outright laugh at their victim for begging or trying to hide. Don't even try to run.
Will use their pointed tail to jab spots as well. Will also wrap it around a leg or a waist to help restrain a flight risk lee. You are NOT leaving before they're done.
Will tease the victim by mimicking their voice at them.
Will thankfully let the lee go once they start getting hoarse or too tired. They were purring the whole time, not that you might have noticed. Friend will loaf next to the recovering lee to keep an eye on them, won't complain if you wanted to nap with them.
They are actually capable of softer tickles, mainly in the form of nuzzling or nibbling. They also like curling around the lee and holding them like a plushie, and using their paws to gently scratch at sensitive spots. If you cuddle with Friend, you risk this. You can't get up. You have a cat on you. So be good and just giggle yourself silly okay?
Their favorite spot to target is the stomach and the sides. Because they're easy to reach from anywhere.
