Can we get your opinion about how Dr.Teeth, who is most likely not ticklish at all, how exactly he would tickle each of his band members??
I actually do think Teeth is ticklish, but I think both
A) It's really hard for the others to get him because he's good at avoiding it and getting them first
B) He's good at holding in or stifling his reactions... And then he also gets you back lol
As for the others, I think he's universally feared as a ler, and he has different methods for everyone
• Floyd: He's been friends with Floyd for years, he knows everything about him, including the fact that Floyd doesn't fight back much and actually enjoys it.
He'll just dig into his ribs, and Floyd will wheeze and his knees will give out, so then he's only being held up by Teeth's tickling hands under his arms, and there's not much he can do about it
• Janice: He's gentler with her, despite the fact that surprisingly, she's a fighter and she's really strong. She doesn't mean to fight back or swing at anyone, her reflexes just take over. Anytime she actually hits someone she's immediately drawing her hands in toward her chest and apologizing, but the guys are used to it and don't mind. They love her.
Though, over the years she has learned how to channel that energy into non-violent movements like stomping her feet and twisting her body away, but occasionally a hand will go flying, and Teeth has learned to just snatch it up like, "Oh was this for me? Thanks sweetheart~" and he'll hold it up and get under her arm
• Lips: He gets treated like an instrument and he "hates" it. He's already cheery and laughs a lot, and it's pretty easy for Teeth to just drag him either into his lap or against his side and skitter his fingers down his ribs like he's playing a piano
Lips can't fight back, his instinctual reaction is to just curl up and hope for the best.
Teeth is a little extra mean and likes to pretend he's playing Lips like and instrument. "Just gotta hit that high note-" he grabs Lips's hips and wiggles his thumbs into them, making the poor trumpet player scream, "There we go :) "
• Zoot: This sleepy man is such an easy target. He's a back sleeper and his arms are almost always up and behind his head
Most commonly, Teeth does drive-by tickles. If he's walking by the couch, he'll reach over and scribble over Zoot's tummy briefly just to get a giggle or a gasp, grinning to himself as the sax player sits up and covers his belly
Sometimes though he'll vibrate all ten (eight??) fingers into the man's ribs just to watch him laugh and flail aimlessly
I think Zoot's body wants to fight back or escape but he's so confused that it's more like if someone controlling him were just spamming all the buttons at the same time. He just has no idea what to do, and it leaves him vulnerable to more tickles
• Animal: Animal does not get tickled often because he's a fighter and a biter. Like Janice, he doesn't mean to hurt anyone, it's just how he reacts. Teeth is a bit more playful with Animal though, and riles him up like a dog, which gets him scolded by Floyd
He does that thing where he'll suddenly drop himself a couple inches downward, wiggling his fingers, and Animal gets whatever his equivalent of zoomies are and darts away, running around.
He is impossible to catch in this state and Floyd always chastises Teeth about getting him worked up
Bonus: He's tried to tickle Nora before but she was quick to take his van keys and put them on a high shelf as punishment, so now he leaves her be
