My first headcanons on the blog! 👀 Date Everything has been taking over my mind lately and my brain is cooking up ideas as I play, so what better way to share some of those ideas with headcanons! These are very biased towards Johnny Splash even though Chance is my honorary husband, but I need to see my silly singing shower be given the sillies.
Here are headcanons for Johnny Splash, Cabrizzio, Chance, Dorian, and Maggie!
Johnny Splash:
He’s like the annoying little brother of the house. Others don’t like his singing, but his laughter? Well, that’s universally agreed to be music to their ears. They’ll tell him to stop singing, Johnny disagrees and says he needs to practice, so the next best option is to tickle him until he’s too exhausted to sing for the rest of the day, or until he surrenders.
One would think that with the amount of times it’s happened, Johnny would know that everyone resorts to tickling him, but somehow it takes him by surprise every time.
He tries to shout frantic warnings with some of his many similes, but it just backfires and works against him.
- “If you tickle me, I’ll be squirmin’ like a soggy dog shakin’ its tail after it's been way too close to a fire!” *Johnny realizes that saying that just makes them want to tickle him more.* “I- I mean, wait! Don’t think about that!”
He has giggles that are bouncy and fluctuate in pitch. They start off all squeaky, but the longer he’s tickled, the deeper and louder his laughter will get, and his laughter can definitely reach full belly laughs. When he knows he’s loud, he’ll blush and try to hide his face in his shoulders.
Johnny is very squirmy, just like he warned. He’s like a cat trying to wriggle out of being given a bath. He flails his limbs around and takes a defensive route more than an offensive one.
He’s ticklish just about everywhere, but the upper part of his ribs are extra ticklish. Unfortunately for him, a lot of the objects around the house know this.
Jean Loo takes advantage of it all of the time (I see them with sibling energy lol). If Johnny tries to run, Jean Loo will easily scoop him up in his arms and lift Johnny off the ground, all while Johnny wiggles and giggles from Jean Loo tickling his ribs and sides. The “worst” part is, Jean Loo sometimes announces to the whole house that he caught Johnny:
- Jean Loo: “Come look at zis everyone! Our very own shower is gracing us with a performance!”
After he’s served his “punishment,” Johnny usually pouts and gets all flustered after, but there’s a little part of him that enjoys the fun that comes out of it.
On occasion, he’ll fight back if he thinks he has a chance. If he gets the opportunity, he'll pounce at his opponent and try to get in as many ticklish hits as he can before he’s taken down, grinning the whole time as he enacts his revenge. Most of the time though, he doesn’t get the chance to fight back, or his upper hand doesn’t last long. The man knows he’s too ticklish for his own good.
With his romantic partner, however, he loves to snuggle, nuzzle, and rub his head into his partner’s neck like a cat to tickle them. He actually loves soft tickles himself, and the light touches when his partner plays with his curls. He’s also a fan of cheer up tickles, especially the gentle ones when his partner is just getting him to giggle and smile, or if he’s getting them to smile.
As a ler, he’s full of teases. To his friends, he’ll gloat about being able to take the advantage:
- “Seems I was too strong for you to handle, huh?”
- “Looks like this here jackrabbit is too quick for you!”
To his romantic partner though, he’ll purposely sweet talk them with “Darlin’” while teasing them:
- “What’s the matter, darlin’? You’re wigglin’ like a snake on the dance floor caught with the spotlight on ‘em.”
Cabrizzio:
LEE LEE LEE LEE. After his CANON line of “I always loved this phrase, tickled… I giggle and twist in the warm light of your interest,” this man will never beat the lee allegations. He loves it because it makes people smile, laugh, and feel joy—three things that he deeply cares about.
He’s most ticklish around his ribs and back, but other spots like his belly, sides, and neck get good reactions out of him too.
His favorites are gentle tickles and cuddly tickles.
Sometimes, if his romantic partner is tickling him, he'll grab one of their hands as if he was defending himself, but he’ll lace his fingers with theirs and hold their hand as he giggles away, melting like gelato on a hot sunny day.
His touch is very soft when providing tickles to his romantic interest. He just wants to see them smile and giggle to their heart’s content. If he’s distracted by soaking in how lovely and beautiful his partner is though, he can be easily taken off guard with a few squeezes to his sides.
👏Tickly kisses 👏 Once he finds out that his stubble can be a tickly weapon, he will use it. That is, again, unless he gets tickled in the process, causing him to freely giggle into the crook of his partner’s neck.
It’s hard not to smile when hearing his laugh. It’s bright and bubbly, with little instances of wheezes and squeakiness here and there.
He’s one to compliment someone when he’s tickling them, especially his romantic partner.
- “Your smile is lovely, Amore.”
- “Your laugh, it is an honor to be listening to it’s wonderful song. I could bask in it all day like the most beautiful sunrise.”
Of course, he calls his romantic partner, “Amore,” but he’ll get butterflies and a blush will spread across his cheeks if his partner uses his own words against him while he’s being tickled.
Cabrizzio: “Amohohohore!”
Player: “Oh, more? Of course, Cabrizzio. I thought you’d never ask.”
*Cabrizzio keeps giggling in a flustered loss for words*
On rare occasions, he’ll get into one sided tickle fights with his friends, mostly Daisuke. Usually, Cabrizzio will poke him to see him smile, or tickle him to cheer him up if Daisuke is feeling down. Or, Cabrizzio will be teasing him about the placement of his dishware (or even his love life), and Daisuke will ‘teach him a lesson.’ Cabrizzio will be giggling on the floor in seconds.
Chance:
So, so giggly. Even before he’s tickled. The anticipation itself makes him laugh. He’ll flush and be stunned by the mere mention of it if it’s targeted towards him.
His tummy is his most ticklish spot, but his entire torso is pretty ticklish.
He loves being types of “monsters” with his romantic partners, which is when he throws his arms out to the side of his head and curls his fingers into claws to act like a beast shouting out a roar. His voice goes a little deeper to match the role. And, of course, he does the tickle monster too.
- “Look out! Here comes the cuddle monster!”
- “This hug monster wants a hug!”
When he’s playing his “monster” role, he looms over his lover to be silly, but a quick scribble to his ribs each time sends his arms crashing to his sides and curling them close to himself. Sometimes when he does his “monster roar,” it’s almost like he’s asking for those quick tickle moments. He thinks it’s cute that his partner “defeats” his monster by tickling him, and he knows it makes them happy.
Chance is someone who curls himself up when he’s tickled. He’ll compact himself to leave less ticklish surface area, like scrunching his shoulders to his neck, bending his knees to his chest and curling his core forward like he’s doing a sit up. While rolling himself into a ball, he playfully bats at the hands that are tickling him.
His laugh is like an unstoppable stream of giggles and giddiness that pour from his mouth, but they’re always full of joy and bright energy that’s infectious. If Chance is tickled, there’s a high chance (haha, see what I did there?) that anyone around him will be chuckling with him too.
He plays along with any G&G related teases that are thrown his way. He’ll keep it going like an adventure in a one-shot (for as long as he can handle being tickled), if the one tickling him is also continuing the story.
Player: “And then the dragon pounces onto the warrior and uses its claws to tickle him!”
Chance: “AH! A critical hihihit!!!”
Player: “The dragon takes another swipe, this time at the warrior’s belly!”
Chance: EEK! I use-hehehe my armor to curl into a bahahahall!”
When it’s Chance’s turn to throw the teases, he doesn’t hold back. His storyteller voice will make an appearance. He may occasionally break character in order to admire the joy emanating from his partner:
- “The warrior, free from the clutches of the dragon, strikes with his mighty fingers to scribble into the dragon’s sides! The dragon shrieks as the ticklishness pulses through their scales, giggling helplessly, but also very happily, in the warrior’s clutches. And may I just say that those giggles are just the cutest?”
His tickles are more playful, like adding squeezes and a bit of pressure to his wiggling fingers, but he always makes sure that he’s gentle enough for who he’s tickling.
He enjoys initiating tickle fights with his romantic partner. With friends though, he’s not the one who usually initiates it, except with Parker; that’s usually when Parker or Chance are making a game out of challenging one another and they both end up in a tickle-filled tussle.
Dorian:
There’s a moment in the game when he says, “If my arms are crossed, that means you’re not getting through.” You know what that means? 😏 That’s right! Tickle him so he opens up!
The game says his laugh is “like a robot attempting to imitate laughter,” so he has pauses in-between his laughs. They’re hardy belly laughs of “Ha ha ha”s strung together, that also pick up a little in speed if he’s being tickled.
He’s not the ticklish out of all the objects in the house, but still ticklish enough to where some big laughs can spill out of him.
He’s most ticklish around the sides of his body—all the way from the sides of his feet, to the sides of his torso, underarms, and to his ears—like the hinges of a door.
He’s the type to act tough at first; he’ll hold in his laughter, unmoving, and pretend he’s not ticklish (even if someone already knows he’s ticklish), and he can hold his own for a while, but subtle twitches from unexpected pokes and his quivering smile will show that it’s working. He’ll only let his friends or his romantic partner the chance to even try and see this side of him though.
It’s hard to take him by surprise since he’s always on the lookout for any signs of trouble, but it’s not impossible. Usually, a group of his friends working together can get him to drop his guard just enough to sneak attack him.
Once a sneak attack hits, it’s hard for Dorian to hold in his laughter. Honestly, he probably lets it out right away as a reward for his friends for taking him off guard.
He doubles over when he’s tickled and wraps his arms around his stomach as he laughs. He’s usually strong enough to stay on his feet and twist away from the tickles, but if he’s sent crashing to the floor, and or his friends are piled on top of him, he’s down for the count and will giggle there until he surrenders or calls for a truce.
If he’s the one tickling though, run. This man takes no prisoners. He’ll be gentle though, of course, but he’ll also teach someone a lesson.
- “Aww, what’s the matter? Is someone a little ticklish?”
- “Where do you think you’re going? You’re not getting through me.”
For instance, Maggie and Skylar wanted to find out if Dorian was ticklish. It led to them both on the floor losing a 2 versus 1 tickle fight. They got their answer though, at least.
Dorian doesn’t initiate any tickle fights, really, but he’ll definitely continue one if they come after him first.
With his romantic partner, he acts pretty much the same, except that he’ll drop his guard a little more around them and allow them to hear his laugh freely instead of him trying to hold it in.
Maggie:
She’s more of a partner in crime than someone who would actually be the one tickling. She would rather be a bystander to the chaos involved, and throw out little pointers here and there to assist. Maggie has heard all sorts of hints and talk around the house about who’s ticklish and where they’re ticklish that she can bring to the table:
- “You know, I’ve heard from Jean Loo that Johnny is super ticklish on his ribs. Try there!”
- “I don’t have any evidence other than rumors, but I’ve heard from Daisuke that Cabrizzio is secretly ticklish!”
- “Hmm, interesting… There was definitely a higher influx of laughter when you tickled Dorian’s sides! Keep aiming for that spot!”
She usually only tickles someone if one of two things happens—
1) She’s trying to gather the truth from one of her friends, and she uses tickling as a method of persuasion.
2) She decides to team up with another person, or multiple objects, if it looks like everyone is having fun and she wants to join in on that fun.
When she’s tickling someone, she speaks about her observations out loud, inadvertently teasing them. Sometimes she exaggerates her observations to tease them on purpose.
- “My goodness! I did not expect you to have such a ticklish belly.”
- “These ribs are extremely ticklish! How do you function?”
- “Your shoulders moving to your ears indicates that your neck is ticklish!”
Her go-to method of tickling is skittering her fingers, so she’s speedy and is always jumping to different spots, making her hands hard to catch.
She’s great at spotting when someone is lying, so she’s great at spotting when someone’s lying about being ticklish, or trying to hide their ticklishness. She’ll call them out on their lies.
- “If you weren’t ticklish, then your eyes wouldn’t be shifting to the left every time I ask you!”
- “I see a wobbly smile on your face, don’t deny it!”
When she’s tickled though, she’s adorably squeaky, like the cartoon-ish squeak a towel makes when it’s cleaning off glass. She’ll kick out her legs and ball up both of her fists to cover her mouth, or slap her hands to her mouth, as she giggles through her fingers. If she’s wearing her hat, she will pull her hat down to hide her face, but her smile and the blush on her cheeks can still be seen from under her hat.
A few snorts will be mixed in with her laughter, and if she’s not blushing or covering her face by then, then she definitely will after she knows she let out a snort. She covers her face after a snort more like a reflex rather than being embarrassed by it.
She’s the most ticklish on her underarms, but the back of her knees are a close second.
When she’s tickled by her romantic partner, she’ll hide her face less, allowing them to see her smile and her blush as red as her hair.
When tickling her romantic partner, she’ll admire them and their laughter. She’ll tease them a bit, but she’ll be more smitten by how adorable they are that she'll be cooing sweetly at them most of the time. Sometimes all she says is “Aww…” as she smiles at them.
She loves bumping foreheads with her partner and being close to them. If she’s laughing, or her partner is laughing, touching their foreheads together allows them to share a laugh with one another, like they’re transferring their happiness from one person to the next.
FINALLY, Part 5 is here!!! It’s been months, but the Date Everything hype train is still making its stops. As requested, Jean Loo and Amir have been added to the list, and Jacques was a favorite I kept seeing. Betty was added since she’s one of my friend’s favorites (friend if you see this, hello 😏 lol), and Eddie & Volt have FINALLY been added to a headcanon list. I can’t believe it took me until part 5 to give Eddie & Volt, my second favorite characters, the spotlight 😭. Thank you everyone for your continued support on these headcanons! This might be the last part that I do for now, but the Date Everything love continues!
Here are headcanons for Jean Loo, Jacques, Betty, Eddie & Volt, and Amir!
Jean Loo:
~ If he’s tickled, Jean Loon is a big cackler. His laugh is very fast paced, similar to his raps, like he’s scrambling to say something but his laughter overpowers his words. Some may describe him sounding like a witch, some may describe him sounding like a creaky pipe, and some might say he sounds like both. Occasionally, he’ll also let out a mixture of a snicker and a snort that sounds like the noise a squirt bottle makes. And that’s only the half of it.
~ He is (adorably) noisy when tickled. You know how beatboxing is making music with different sounds? Basically, a very similar thing is happening when Jean Loo is being tickled. He mostly cackles, but he’ll make squeaks, squeals, snorts, snickers—you name it, he probably makes it. Like his snort-snickers, sometimes his sounds combine into adorable combos that get himself blushing when he hears it.
~ Jean Loo will not stand still while he’s tickled. He’s an enormous squirmer who will also try to compact himself to give his ler less surface area to tickle. Either he’s flailing around, or his arms will be clamped to his sides and knees curled to chest, while also kicking and rolling from side to side with giddy giggles.
~ If he’s on the floor when a tickle attack starts, he’ll squirm backwards like a worm trying to win a 100 meter dash in a burst of energy before his strength falters and he lies there as he’s tickled to pieces.
~ His most ticklish spot is the back of his knees. Get him there, and he’ll absolutely be squealing and kicking and trying to do sit-ups to reach for his knees, or reach for the person’s hands at his weak spot. His underarms are his second most ticklish spots. Essentially, the parts of his limbs that bend, like the knee “pits” or his armpits are super ticklish for him.
~If someone tries to tease him by rapping at him, he won't be able to take you on in a rap battle. Ironically, he’s at a complete loss for words when being tickled. He’ll occasionally have a good comeback, but his laughter will overflow right after to seize the moment.
~ Alternatively, he might pretend to criticize the rap that was used as a tease against him, even if it was a good line, purely because he doesn’t want to admit it was good while being defeated by tickles. The only exception is if his romantic partner teases him with a clever rap, then he might sweetly admit “that was a good line” through his giggles.
~ On the flip side, if Jean Loo is the one tickling someone and he’s using raps against them as teases, he does not show mercy. Of course, he calls “cool raping” craping, so naturally he calls a “tickle rap” a Trap.
“Too bad you’re caught in my trap! My tickle rap!”
~ Examples of his tickle rap teases may include:
“Can’t stop the giggles in my ears / Every time I get a spot that’s all that I hear / You’re ticklish, huh? / Well that explains a lot / Well too bad now, Jean Loo has got you caught!”
“I aim for the tummy / You think that it's funny? / It must be if all of your laughter is sunny!”
“Someone so giggly? / Guess that it’s tickly / Saying my rap is what makes them so wiggly!”
“They're looking all flushed / It must be the blush / Their gettin’ all red from our ticklish touch.” (yes I’m reusing a variation of this line that I already used in one of my fics lol).
~ His go-to method of tickling others is pouncing at his target and using rough, but playful tickles, never going too far as to hurt someone. He throws in an occasional squeeze here and there too. Once he finds a good spot, he hones in on it to make sure to draw out the person’s silly laughter.
“Ah, what do we have here? The ribs, eh? Don’t mind if I do.”
~ Jean Loo’s usual target is Johnny Splash. Johnny is an easy target for him, especially when Johnny is in the mood to be a menace. Honestly, Jean Loo will aim for Johnny even if Johnny isn’t being a menace; Jean Loo will do it just because he can and he thinks it’s funny.
~ Jean Loo will occasionally get Amir if the mirror is acting prim and proper—like Amir is trying to win an argument by saying he’s right about everything—or if Amir disrupts Jean Loo’s rap session with his desire for “peace and quiet.” Jean Loo will tackle Amir in the middle of an argument if he has to.
~ Jean Loo will also get Barry, simply to see Barry genuinely smile and to help him feel less anxious. If Barry’s mood is down, Jean Loo will make it his mission to brighten his day.
~ Johnny, Amir, and Barry will occasionally get back at Jean Loo. In Johnny’s case, the shower will return the favor by coming at Jean Loo with a burst of strength to gain the upper hand. Johnny will occasionally lunge at Jean Loo during tickle fights and throw caution to the wind for opportunity to get a few tickly hits on Jean Loo.
~ With Jean Loo’s romantic partner, he loves wrapping up his partner in his arms and tickling them silly. He delivers a mix of soft tickles and his regular tickle-pounces to keep them on their toes. He goes slightly easier on his romantic partner, that is unless they’re messing with him and just asking for it.
“Oh ho ho, you think it's funny to make jokes at the expense of Lil’ Crapper? Get over here!”
Jacques:
~ Someone needs to get this pirate and wreck him with tickles until he’s sinking towards the floor like a shipwreck in the ocean.
~ Jacques will always be taken off guard by a declaration of a tickle fight. He knows he asks for fights all the time, but he’ll respond like:
“I crave violence! Not- giggles and laughter!”
~ He will blush like crazy if someone even thinks of or suggests the idea of tickling him. CANONICALLY if you fluster him enough with your words, he will make this sound that combines grumbling, growling, stuttering, and sputtering all together.
Exhibit A:
~ If he's asked if he’s ticklish, he is similarly stuttering and stumbling over his words, such as:
“What- well- pftt- I- uggh!”
“W-what? Insanity! What in blazes would give you that idea?!” (He says, not hiding his blush at all)
~ “Threaten” to tickle him and his words are turning into complete mush like the example above. “Well- ugh- no- ughhhhfffmmmug!” Again, it’s safe to say he will be at a complete loss for words and wouldn’t know how to even begin to make a comeback.
~ When he is caught in a tickle fight, he has a gravelly laugh that rumbles from his chest. Occasionally, his laugh fluctuates in pitch, sometimes letting out deep giggles or high-pitched ones. He’ll also bark out bursts of laughter, especially when a new spot is sneak attacked or targeted.
~ Jacques will growl through his giggles. However, it’s not a threatening growl. It’s like if a puppy is growling because the puppy wants more head pats. He will always insist that his growls are “s-posed to me menacing! It’s a sign for you to flee!” Those that tickle him see how much fun he has with it though, but getting him to confess that is nearly impossible.
~ He’s one to push and shove at his ler, also to look menacing and like he’s putting up a fight, but it’s part of the play. Jacques pushes, shoves, elbows, and swipes, but never tries to hurt the other person or actually tries hard enough to shove them off.
“Arggg! Yohohou call thihihis a fight? Brihihing it on scallywag!”
~ He’s most ticklish at his hips, but a few good digs to his sides get him too. The back of the ribs is also a good spot. He’s pretty much ticklish anywhere else on his torso really.
“Arrrg… Curse this… weakness of mine…”
~ Usually Jacques is a lee but he’ll strike if you poke the bear for long enough, especially if someone makes lighthearted jokes about him being a ✨short king ✨. Beau teases him about it all the time, resulting in her being the most frequent target of Jacques’s tickle attacks. Jacques is also not afraid to lunge at the tall ones either, like Dorian or Able on the rare occasion they want to mess with him.
“Ha! Well if I’m as short as you claim, then that’s a pretty good advantage to getting these spots here!” (He lunges at someone's belly, sides, or knees)
~ His method of tickling is playfully clawing at his opponent. He uses scritches and scratches dangerously well.
~ When tickling someone and gaining the upperhand, he’ll victoriously laugh like he just conquered an island.
“Hahahaha! What are you going to do now, landlubber?”
“Hahaha! How are you going to get out of this one, scallywag?”
~ In tickle fights, he’ll usually wait until someone lets him go to make them think he’s all tuckered out, before he bounds at them with a burst of energy and goes to town on their ticklish spots. He’ll even tackle them or jump on top of them if he has to.
~ Beau gets Jacques all the time with tickles; a back and forth argument between these two usually results in Beau striking Jacques first to get him to admit she’s right, and Jacques certainly will put up a playful fight to be a worthy opponent. If Beau and Gaia team up with each other against Jacques though, he’s in trouble. He’ll never hear the end of the teasing with those two around.
Beau: “Hey, what happened to your feistiness, tough guy?”
Gaia: “I think we’ve made it all disappear!”
~ The only time Jacques will willingly, but also indirectly, admit that he enjoys receiving tickles is with his romantic partner. He melts from tickly scratches under his chin. He insists that he DOES NOT purr like a cat, but his romantic partner has certainly heard happy purr-like giggles that gurgle in his throat.
~He’s much less of a fighter with his romantic partner tickling him. He still puts on the act of fighting back, but for the most part, he tries less to push them away and takes it as he laughs away.
~He will be delivering tickly nuzzles to his romantic partner with his beard. This is a fact.
“It is a weapon I can use anytime at my disposal!”
~ He enjoys delivering tickles if his romantic partner is sitting in his lap; it gives him more access to “latch onto these ticklish spots of yours!” Plus, if his romantic partner is on his lap, it gives him the opportunity to tease his partner like they’re on a ship on choppy water. Jacques can use his legs to bounce them, or he can easily use his arms to “steer” them like a ship’s wheel when they lean side to side.
“Whoa! Aye, the gigglin’ storm is gettin’ stronger! I better steer us in the opposite direction!” (Jacques tickles a different spot that makes his partner lean the other way).
“These waves of giggles are nearly going to tilt the ship over! Good thing I’m an excellent captain to keep us afloat!”
Betty:
~ Betty is the epitome of a sweet, teasing, and gentle ler.
~ Most of the time, she’ll let out her own little giggles when tickling someone. She can’t help but chuckle when she gets a good spot, or hears a big reaction.
~ Her go-to method of tickles are soft tickles, like light scratches and fluttering her fingers. Don’t be fooled though; even if Betty’s strategy is feather-soft tickles, she can certainly get some big, boisterous reactions from her friends. She’s skilled at gently fluttering her nails over ticklish spots to make someone melt into soft giggles.
~ She’s great at giving massages, and tickly massages are no exception. She’s sneaky sometimes, making sure someone least expects it before slipping her wiggling fingers into the crevices of someone's ribs or underarms. This especially occurs when the person was stubborn about taking a moment to relax in the first place. (Dorian has had his fair share of sneak attacks or massages turned into sneak attacks from Betty for this very reason.)
~ Sometimes if Betty tricks someone into her tickles, she’ll act all innocent, until she can’t help fawning or cooing at the person over how adorable they are.
“What?” (She says with a giggle) “I’m not doing anything.” (Then later says) “Okay, maybe I will take credit. It’s too cute how you’re so ticklish.”
~ She doesn’t usually use rougher tickles, but she will use a few well timed digs occasionally to hear the cute surprise squeals from her friends that dissolve into giggles.
~ She’ll tease the person she’s tickling about “getting comfortable” for her tickles, but she, of course, will always make sure the other person is comfortable at all times. She’s always super gentle.
“Hehe, I hope you’re comfortable, because these tickles are just getting started!”
~ Betty mostly targets Mateo, Dorian, Teddy, Amir, and even Nightmare—but Betty is a tickle monster, so everyone who needs to smile or needs to relax will get tickles on her watch. If anyone is sad around her, they better be prepared for a round of Betty’s cheer up tickles.
~ Betty is an excellent partner to team up with in a tickle fight. Not only can her expertise in soft tickles pair well with fast-paced or more gentle tickles, but she’s great at bouncing teases back and forth with someone.
Amir: “Ah, I think we’ve found another tickle spot Betty.”
Betty: “Oh, really? I think you better stay in that spot, just to be sure.”
~ Betty is the best at taking care of someone after she delivers her tickle attacks. For instance, if they turn sleepy, she will make someone comfortable and tuck them in a blanket so they can take a well-earned nap (she always thinks it’s the most adorable thing when she places a blanket over the home’s resident blanket, Mateo). Similarly she’ll offer to snuggle or cuddle up beside them and sometimes fall asleep with them.
~ When Betty is tickled though, she’s so sweet that she’ll complement, and usually fluster, the person who’s tickling her.
“Ohoho! Yohohou’re just too ahahahadorable right nohohow!”
~ She has super bouncy laughter that’s just a joy to hear. It’s so bright and full of energy, yet soft and delicate. It’s like she’s chuckling, but a chuckle that keeps on going while she’s tickled.
~ While laughing, Betty sometimes hovers a hand over her mouth as she lies back and takes the tickles, allowing the sweet sound of her giggles to come out. She’s not trying to cover her smile or act tough, it’s more so a mannerism of hers she does. With her romantic partner, she’ll lace her fingers with her partner in one hand while her other hand just hovers above her mouth as she laughs.
~ Betty is not one to wiggle or squirm while she’s tickled. She’ll occasionally twist and throw an arm around her torso reflexively depending on where she’s tickled, but she won’t kick or try to escape. She’ll compact herself and curl up into a ball occasionally, if anything.
~ She’s most ticklish at the back of her ribs. She usually has her softer giggles, but getting her there will get a few louder giggles from her. The sides of her belly are a good spot too.
~ Those that get her the most with tickles are Nightmare, Teddy, Amir and Mateo (if he’s being brave), but a lot of the house objects find Betty approachable and are friendly enough with Betty to tickle her here and there if she looks like she needs to perk up, or if she needs a laugh.
~ Betty is a great deliverer of tickle hugs, but if she’s being tickled by her romantic partner, sometimes she’ll embrace her partner in a hug, giggling away into their shoulder, not trying to pull away and just drinking up the joy of the moment.
~ If she and her romantic partner are snuggling, expect her to sneak in some tickles here and there—like if her hand is resting on someone’s side, or she delivers a poke or two when facing her partner, or if she sneaks some tickly kisses in at their neck.
~ Either with friends, or her romantic partner, she enjoys the closeness of it all, and loves the happiness that comes from tickling her friends or her friends tickling her.
Eddie & Volt:
~ Both Eddie and Volt are pretty equally ticklish, but Eddie is a bit more ticklish. Eddie also appears more ticklish since he has a more boisterous laugh that can (almost) shake the room. Volt has indeed teased Eddie once or twice before about being the more “sensitive” one, to which Eddie responds that Volt is the “loud” one.
~ If tickled, Eddie will be able to hold in his giggles temporarily before his smile wobbles and snickers start to spill from him, eventually leading giggles bursting from him soon after. Occasionally, while trying really hard to hold back his laughter, a snort will accidentally slip from Eddie, immediately making this man’s cheeks blush pink. If asked about his snort later, Eddie will refuse to admit that he made such a sound.
~ Volt, on the other hand, can’t hold his laughter in for a second. Volt will break out laughing as soon as fingers touch his ticklish spots. It usually starts out with a yelp like a chihuahua, or a screech from a parrot before a flood of giggles follows.
~ Eddie is the most ticklish at his ribs. Volt is the most ticklish at his hips. Meeting in the middle, the belly is a close second for both of them. Soft tickles work effectively on Eddie’s hands, Volt’s ears, and both of their necks. Both of them scrunch up their shoulders from the soft tickles at their neck.
~ Eddie’s laugh is deep and raspy, but also a bit airy like a wheeze. When he’s really giggling, it’s like his giggles are rumbling from his chest. Also, sometimes his snickers sound like crackles of electricity, especially when he’s trying to hold in his laughter at first.
~ Volt on the other hand has squeaky, high-pitched giggles, contrary to his usual suave persona. It’s like his laughter is surging through his whole body and he has to get the giggles out as quickly as possible, resulting in speedy rates of laughter. He’ll screech in the middle of his giggles too if he’s taken off guard from the switch to another ticklish spot.
~ Eddie and Volt are both squirmers. Eddie will clamp his arms to his sides, accidentally pinning the wiggling hands to himself, and will occasionally shove or kick. Volt will flail, claw at the air, and try to grab hold of the hands tickling him. Eventually, Volt will usually lose the fight, and he’ll squeeze his arms close to himself or curl himself up.
~ ELECTRIC. TICKLES. Both Eddie and Volt have the ability to produce sparks of electricity from the tips of their fingers and it tickles (Shoutout to anon for this headcanon lol). Eddie and Volt think it’s really fun dishing them out and seeing everyone’s reactions to their wiggling fingers paired with electricity. They usually save their electric tickles for last, like the final act of their tickle attack. But they CAN NOT take what they dish out. Both of them are super weak to the other’s electric tickles. Volt will basically scream if Eddie uses tickly shocks against him; it’s a miracle that the lights don’t shatter. Eddie will bark out a yelp before tossing his head back, kicking at Volt, and dissolving into an abundance of cackles if Volt uses tickly electricity against him.
~ If both of them are getting tickled at once, be prepared for both of them to be a flustered pile of giggles and squeals. Usually, Eddie has someone to growl at if Volt started it, and Volt has someone to yell at if Eddie started it; however, when they’re both the targets, it’s extra flustering since they’re hearing each other getting tickled at the same time. To those tickling them, their laughter becomes an adorable harmony of high-pitched giggles and squeals from Volt and deep, raspy cackles from Eddie.
~ Even if they're flustered and both getting attacked with tickles side-by-side, they’ll still playfully banter and blame the other for their predicament.
Eddie: (to Volt) “Thihihis is all yohohohour fahahault!”
Volt: “Mehehehe??? Yohohou’re the one whohoho antagonized thehehem!”
~ If Volt and Eddie are a tag team against someone else? RIP. Eddie and Volt may bicker with each other occasionally, but when they work together it is dangerous. They are so in-sync, so good at communicating and tactically switching with each other they are basically tickle monster machines. Plus, their back and forth banter with each other weaves its way into their teases towards whoever they’re going for.
Volt: “Ah, live wire! Now that was a jump if I’ve ever seen one.”
Eddie: “It was a pretty big jump. Good thing we were holding you, or you might have jumped right into the ceiling.”
~ Volt is a master at teasing. If someone is under his tickly clutches, they are getting an earful of sweet sounding complements that would make even the toughest of characters flustered. Eddie growls at and scolds him through his giggles if Volt is using his teases against him, which Volt does all the time.
“My my, someone is a little ticklish, aren’t we?”
“Careful, live wire! If your laughter gets any higher, we may have to change all the lights in the Breaker Box.”
~ In addition, Volt is skilled at rallying other people to help in his tickly missions. For instance, he’ll easily convince people that Eddie is a “grump, a grouch” and he can easily convince people into helping him take down Eddie.
~ Eddie is much more lenient on the teases, but that doesn’t mean he can’t say a flustering line here and there. Eddie will point out how many giggles they’re letting out, or how ticklish someone is—partially because he’s teasing, but also because he sometimes is genuinely surprised by how ticklish some of his friends are (despite himself being pretty ticklish). With Volt or his romantic partner, Eddie is more comfortable laying the teases on thick.
(Eddie is tickling volt) “Well, would you look at that. The suave host of the breaker box is so very, very ticklish. Wait ‘till our guests get to hear this.”
~ Eddie doesn’t usually initiate tickle fights alone. He usually waits until he knows he has a partner to team up with, like Volt or the player. Eddie usually only initiates a tickle fight himself if it’s against Volt, the player, or his romantic partner. Or, he’ll occasionally use it against those like Tony if he’s getting on his nerves. Or, maybe if he can’t think of another way to cheer up his friends that are usually bubbly, like Betty and Beverly, then he might resort to tickling, “just this once!”
~Volt, on the other hand, will happily initiate a tickle fight, whether he has a teammate or not. He’ll go for everyone if he could, but he has his common targets. Of course, Eddie is the first target, but Volt also goes for those like Tony, Amir, and Dorian to mess with them and those like Betty, Beverly, and Rainey to cheer them up if they need it.
“Come now, smile my friend! What seems to be keeping you down?”
~ Eddie and Volt are very mindful not to push anyone too far. Volt will sometimes get lost in the fun of it all, but he’s still careful not to go overboard. If the Breaker Box boys are on a team, sometimes Eddie is the one that reminds Volt and reels them both in to give the person a break.
~ The people that usually target Eddie and Volt are each other, of course, but Tony, Beverly, Betty, Rainey, and on the rare occasion, Amir are the ones who usually go for them. The ones who target them think it’s the silliest thing to see them both go completely silent at the idea of them getting tickled. Their friends know to approach them with a team attack; if they tickle one of the Breaker Box boys, they have to go for the other since they might get double teamed if their plan fails, so they bring backup. Believe Eddie and Volt that they are definitely ones to deliver revenge tickles.
~Both Eddie and Volt will coo at their romantic partner over how cute they are when getting tickled. If their romantic partner does the exact same thing to them though, they'll both go red in the face.
~ Both will deliver tickly kisses towards their romantic partner. Volt usually takes their whole face in his hands before smothering them with love, while Eddie wraps his arms around his partner and delivers tickly kisses and nuzzles from there.
Amir:
~ He’s more of a ler that likes to deliver tickles, but he also definitely enjoys the radiant joy from both parties that comes from being tickled. More often than not though, with him being the center of attention, it’s hard for his friends not to tickle him.
~ Usually, he’s able to act confident, but if someone suggests tickling him, his confidence can crumble, quickly making him blush and fumble his words.
~ Surprise tickles will make him jump one hundred percent of the time; his reaction will have him nearly bounce to the ceiling. His jump is almost always paired with an “EEK!” followed by Amir clasping both hands across his mouth. (Thank you again to the anon who originally sent this headcanon because it now is canon to me)
~ Amir will snicker through his hands trying to hold in his giggles, but he’ll let out little “hehe!”s that give his laughter away immediately. When Amir knows he’s about to explode into full-blown laughter, it’s usually a sound like “Pffffst- hahahaha!” before he attempts to nab at the wiggling fingers tickling him.
~ He has a very smooth laugh when tickled; it’s a continuous flow of rich bouts of laughter from the center of his chest, with the occasional squeak or squeal. His poised and proper personality is not immune to sounding like a squeaky toy or glass cleaner wiping across a mirror while he’s tickled. He even sometimes lets out snickers that sound like a glass cleaner bottle like, “Kehehe!” “Ksh- hehe!”
~ When giggling, Amir will ironically cover his face because he’s so flustered he doesn’t know what to do with his hands. He peaks through his fingers though, and he doesn’t hold his hands to his face for very long, especially when he realises there’s teases that might be coming his way because of it.
Player: “Oh, the mirror is covering his face? Now that’s silly!”
Player: “Hey, don’t cover your smile! I wanna see it!”
~ Amir will use his long hair to veil his blush sometimes, either by titling his head into his shoulder or pushing his own hair into his face when his hands are by his head.
~ Amir is pretty much averagely ticklish, but his feet are where he’s most ticklish (Shoutout again to anon for that headcanon lol). His feet are usually not a spot that is targeted by his friends in quick ambush attacks, so he’s safe, but if his feet are tickled, it’s like he suddenly becomes the most ticklish person in the household. He’ll make high-pitched squeaks and squeals and giggly kicks as he tries to reach for the tickly hands, but if he can’t reach them, then he’s lying on the floor in a giggly puddle with his hands over his blushing face. At first, his friends thought he didn’t have a most ticklish spot, that is until they found his feet, and they were pleasantly surprised.
~ Oh, he snorts. If you get a really ticklish spot for a certain amount of time, not only does he snort, but a blush appears right away. It might be only one snort, but it's so cute and so prominent that it's going to be hard to just ignore it. It’s possible for him to snort if you get a good spot on his torso, but he will definitely let out at least one snort if his feet are tickled.
~ To his friends, he’s an easy target, and a hilarious target to get (according to Jean Loo). The people who tickle him the most are Jean Loo, Betty, Bathsheba, and Johnny Splash, but he’s had a few run-ins with Eddie, Volt, Barry, Tyrell, Farya, and probably more than he can count.
~ He targets similar people with his tickle attacks. He’ll get Jean loo and Johnny when they're being playful pests, especially when they’re being obnoxious and disrupting his “reflection time” (Hehe…get it? 😏). He also gets Betty, Dorain, Barry, and Farya if he’s trying to get them to smile, or Bathsheba if he's trying to win an argument. He’s honestly like a versatile tickle monster that will go for anyone if provoked, or asked by someone to team up with them. If he’s tickled them, they’ve probably tickled him back though.
~ When he tickles his friends, he pounces! He has one goal in mind, and that’s to make his friends laugh while also teaching them a lesson! His so called “lessons” usually involve getting playful revenge on his friends if they were getting on his last nerve *cough cough Johnny Splash* or teaching them that they need to let loose and relax!
~ His go-to method of tickling is deviously spidering his fingers across ticklish spots, like skittering them up and down their ribs or sides like he’s playing a harp, or doing quick scribbles back and forth across their belly.
~ He’s totally one to complement someone while tickling them. He’ll complement things like their laugh and their smile. He can definitely be teasy if he wants to, also using his skills in complementing to fluster someone.
“Ah! There it is! Now just look at that gorgeous smile!”
“Ooh, that’s a really ticklish spot here isn’t it. Aww, you’re just too cute with that beaming smile.”
“Heh, does it tickle? Well, I would hope so! I’m tickling you, aren’t I?”
~ He’ll also act innocent too sometimes, stating, “What? This? I’m not doing anything” with a smirk on his face.
~ Amir is great at being an initiator of tickle fights, but he is also an excellent partner to team up with. He can be a devious tag-team partner. Usually, he teams up with Betty or Bathsheba, or even Jean Loo when they have the same objective in mind, but Amir can and is more than happy to tag-team with anyone else who asks.
~ He’s at a disadvantage if he's tickled first. Amir will try to get in a few tickly hits at the one attacking him to fight back, but if Amir is caught by surprise, the person will have him in their tickly clutches.
~ With his romantic partner, he doesn’t fight back as much. He lets them tickle him (that’s where his lee side comes in), though he’s no stranger to occasionally throwing another poke or two into the fray.
~ While tickling his romantic partner, he’ll sometimes rest his chin on their shoulder as he soaks in their joy. Occasionally, he’ll use his position to apply tickly kisses or nuzzles to their neck.
~ Tickly kisses work against Amir too, along with any other soft tickles. He’ll scrunch up his shoulders and squeak
More headcanons are here!!! We’re now on Part 3! Thanks to the anon who requested Parker, @sapphireroses282 who requested Curt & Rod, and @mythica0 who requested the Hanks! I realize that as I’m writing these, half of my headcanons might be considered more scenarios than headcanons, but that just means more content for everyone to enjoy!
Here are headcanons for Parker, Tony, Mateo, Curt & Rod, and the Hanks!
Parker:
~ Parker will swing and swipe his arms at the person tickling him, like a cat. So much so that his tickler might have to duck a few swipes to avoid getting hit by his hands. Parker’s flailing can be stopped usually if his underarms are tickled. For instance, if one of his swinging arms is grabbed and held in the air, then if someone’s other free hand scribbles into his stretched underarm, that’ll render Parker’s upper half completely immoble. Parker will clasp his untrapped hand to the tickler’s and try to pry it away, all while kicking and digging his heels into the floor.
~ He’s most ticklish at his underarms, hence why attacking him there is like checkmate.
~ He has a loud laugh that comes from the depths of his diaphragm. It’s a wheezy laugh that sounds chaotic and all over the place, high pitch and giggle wise, but it’s absolutely genuine, pure, contagious, and downright lovable.
~ Parker will squeak like a squeaky toy getting stepped on when a really ticklish spot is hit, or if someone switches from spot to spot when he least expects it.
~ A lot of “Gack!” “Ack!” “Gah!” and “Ahack!”s will also release from him when he’s surprised attacked, or again, if he’s already being tickled and another one of his tickle spots is unexpectedly targeted.
~ If it’s a competition or a challenge to not laugh, Parker will do his absolute best to win. Similarly, he’ll try to win if it’s a competition of who can last the longest while being tickled. Parker may be ticklish, but he also doesn’t want to back down!
“You must tickle me and see if you can win against me. Have at thee!”
~ When Parker is holding in his laughter, he’ll bite his bottom lip. His smile will wobble and his cheeks will flush a little red as if he was holding his breath for too long. Sometimes, some snickers are still able to get through.
~ Parker does welcome tickling as an extra challenge to his games though. For instance, if a game like Twister is played, he’ll be very curious as to how the game will work with an extra layer of difficulty.
Player: “Is tickling against the rules?”
Parker: (A bit flustered at first) “W-Well no- It’s not technically against the rules.” (He puts a hand to his chin to think) “Hmm, but a game with tickling, you say? Sounds like a challenge!”
~ Another example: Parker has to roll dice while he’s being tickled, but if he drops them, his turn is skipped. Because he wants to win, he’ll try his hardest to limit his squirming, but he’ll still flinch and wiggle away from the hands tickling him.
~ However, he and whoever is playing with him will have to agree on the use of tickling in the game beforehand. Otherwise, it’s cheating. And if Parker is tickled as a method of cheating, watch out. He loves to get revenge. He has a huge grin whenever he tickles someone and his voice deepens to a growl as he becomes a menace of a tickle monster.
“Oh, you’re in for it now!”
“Cheaters never prosper! Instead, they get tickles!”
“I’m allowed to get revenge if you tickle me. It’s one of those unspoken rules to abide by.”
“You are no match for my quick witted fingers!”
~ Sometimes, with his partner, he’ll know that his partner purposely cheats in order to get him to tickle them. In that case, he’ll go slightly easier, but any cheaters still have to be playfully punished!
~ Someone can take Parker off guard if they just casually drop that they’re going to tickle him. Usually he says to expect the unexpected, but in this case, he doesn’t.
*The player is trying to distract Parker*
Player: “Parker! Look over there!”
Parker: “Ha! Those tricks don’t fool me!”
Player: “Oh, okay. I’m just going to tickle you then.”
*Parker immediately changes his tune; he’s frozen, stunned.*
Parker: “Wait what-”
~ I’ve heard others say that Parker would use bites and nibbles to tickle and I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE. With his partner, he also likes to snuggle his face into their neck or their belly to add to the tickles.
~ Another one of his go-to methods would be raspberries. He will take a big breath, pull back, and puff out his cheeks in an exaggerated motion before blowing a big raspberry over a ticklish spot.
~ Parker loves earning the big, explosive laughter from whoever he’s tickling. He’ll turn his hands into claws and pounce on their tickle spots to hear it.
~ If the person he’s going after is standing or running, he will also literally pounce or tackle them to the ground if he has to.
~ Expect to be pinned by him if there’s a lot of flailing happening. For example, he’ll either sit on someone's legs, or grab both of someone's hands in one of his and pin them above their head. He’ll loom over them and wiggle his fingers above them, waiting to hear the anticipatory giggles before going in for the tickly kill. He’ll let someone go immediately if they ask, or if he sees that they’re at their limit, of course.
~ With his romantic partner, Parker loves snuggles. He’ll even declare, “If I win, I get snuggle time!” Sometimes, his partner lets him win. Though Parker likes competition, he does appreciate it sometimes. Technically letting him win is not cheating, Parker says, buuuut if his partner does it too much, Parker’s partner will be at the receiving end of some snuggly tickles.
~ With his romantic partner, gentle touches also make him softly giggle, especially on his forearms. His partner tracing his ladder patterns on his arms, or tracing a line across his skin like they’re moving a piece across a “board,” or pretending to use his tummy as a spinner will fluster him and make him snicker, but he loves leaning into the touch.
~ Parker will initiate tickle fights to win an argument. He usually does this with his partner, but he also does it with Chance if the D20 tries to debate him. He’s also not opposed to joining in on a tickle fight if one breaks out in front of him.
Tony:
~ This man is a BIG ler, and he knows it. He’s great at providing cheer up tickles, playful tickles, and soft tickles depending on the situation. He’s got the best tickles for the job, just like how he's always got the best tool for the job.
~ He will pretend to “fix” someone as he tickles them.
“Uh oh, we got someone leaking giggles here. Let me patch you up. I just gotta put my fingers here and wiggle them to stop the leak.”
~ He likes being mischievous with his tickles and throws in lots of blunt teases. Especially when duty calls for cheer up tickles towards his friends, he’ll smirk during his line deliveries, making sure no one’s sad when Tony's around.
“What? Speak up, I can’t hear ya through your laughter.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, does this tickle? My bad, I had noooo idea.”
“Ticklish sides, huh? Works better for me.”
~ He uses his teasing methods on his romantic partner too, but he also can be especially sweet when it comes to cheer up tickles, making sure to soothe them out of their gloom.
“Come here. Let good old Ton’ fix you up.” (He hugs his partner and provides gentle tickles)
“Hey, cheer up. I hate seeing your pretty face so upset.”
~ When Tony’s feeling more playful, he’ll pull someone into a big one-armed hug, putting their whole body in a headlock. One arm traps them while his other hand goes to town scribbling across their torso, all while he grins behind them. With his partner, he’ll add tickly kisses to their neck, his stubble adding to the tickles.
~ During the “types of physical affection” portion of Tony’s love advice workshops, he does recommend tickling, among a list of other things like cuddles and hugs, that can be used as a bonding experience. However, he’ll get flustered if the mention of his own ticklishness is on the table. He’ll dodge the question if he’s ticklish or not.
Player: “So you recommend tickling, huh?”
Tony: “Yeah! It’s a great way to be playful with your partner while also sharing some laughs. You know what they say, laughter is the best ointment- or the best medicine or whatever.”
Player: “Are you ticklish, Tony?”
Tony: “H-hey now, how did this turn on me being the subject?”
Player: “I was just curious… So are you-”
Tony: “Oh! Uh, that’s the lunch bell. Gotta go!”
Player: “But I didn’t hear-”
Tony: “Okay bye!”
~ He won’t admit that he is ticklish willingly. Someone will have to tickle him to get him to actually spout out the words and admit it.
~ Whenever he’s tickled, even if it's a poke or a surprise attack, the first thing he does is slam his arms to his sides. That’s because Tony is most ticklish at his underarms. Get him there and oh boy, his laugh will be like dynamite at a demolition site. He will crumble to his knees like a house constructed on a poor foundation.
~ His laughter is deep and rumbles from within his chest. There’s also a slight raspiness to it that comes with his outpouring of giggles.
~ Tony is a huge squirmer when he’s tickled; he’ll twist, wiggle, and try to tug himself free from the hands attacking him almost immediately.
~ He will try to run if anyone even looks at him with the idea of tickling him; however, he still finds the whole thing playful if they’re able to get him. He’s more lenient with his romantic partner though; he allows them to get a few free hits at his ticklish spots before taking off running.
~ Rainey has tickled Tony multiple times to snap him out of the mindset that he needs to “hide himself” to be happy and act like someone he’s not. Tony does appreciate the concern, despite most likely thrashing, squirming, and disagreeing with giggles the entire time.
Rainey: “If you can dish out tickling to cheer us up, then you should also be able to take it!”
Rainey: “You can’t put on a facade when you’re putting your emotions on full display like this, sugar!”
Rainey: “See? Your laughter really does bring out your true character!”
Rainey: “Who needs giggle water when you’ve got a giggly toolbox?”
~ Similarly, Rainey and Beverly have teamed up against Tony to tickle him silly. They’re surprisingly sneaky-
~ Tony doesn’t like to admit he’s wrong, but tickling can be used against him to make him crack, or depending on the argument, at least compromise.
“Okay, okay. So maybe we just have different opinions. Both of us can be right in a way, ya know?”
~ As a reflex, Tony will sometimes put a hand to his head, like how he runs a hand through his hair, over how much something might tickle. His elbows will, usually, still be clasped tightly to his sides though.
~ If someone makes Tony fall on his back or his stomach while they’re tickling him, he’s in trouble. He can attempt to push himself up, but that would require him to move his arms and leave an opening for someone to sneak their way into his underarms. He’s learned from Rainey and Beverly that even a second of moving his arms can cause them to reach his most ticklish spot. Once they reach his underarms while he’s in one of these positions, there’s no escape for him. He’ll accidentally trap their hands in his armpits, stuck in place like a wooden plank, as he giggles toward the ceiling and throws his head back with an abundance of laughter. Tony will usually surrender soon after.
~ He’ll giggle profusely while he’s doing everything he can to avoid hands coming after him when he’s on the floor, such as wrestling hands away, shimming backwards, and squeezing his arms down tight before someone even touches him—but there’s still an air of playfulness and giddiness to it all that he doesn’t mind.
~ With his partner, he’s much less wriggly if softer tickles are used. Sometimes he doesn’t fight back and just enjoys laughing with them.
Mateo:
~ He’s a sucker for soft tickles. It’s canon that “snuggles, cuddles, and nuzzles” are part of his likes. Soft tickles are his own weakness, but soft fluttery tickles are also his main method of delivering tickles. Sometimes when he’s feeling a little more mischievous, he’ll add quick scratches with a little more pressure.
~ Mateo’s usual laugh is a soft stream of steady giggles, very breathy and airy, and sometimes his laugh goes silent for a moment if he’s really laughing up a storm. And SNORTS. Lots of snorts. Mateo canonically snorts when he laughs, so it’s only natural that he snorts while he’s tickled. Usually, the snorts are the loudest part of his laughter, but he’ll occasionally let out a few squeaks here and there as his giggles steadily incline.
~ His tummy is the most ticklish. Any teases that involve the mention of “belly rubs” or how he’s like the inanimals will make him blush with his giggles. His inanimals, specifically his pal Davi, also knows that Mateo’s ticklish on his belly, so Davi will slip his head under Mateo’s shirt to nuzzle him there. Mateo is guaranteed to be a bundle of giggles and curl himself up a little.
~ When tickled, Mateo wraps his arms around himself as defense. He’s not really a squimer, but he does twist occasionally and fold himself in different directions. He’ll also place his hand(s) on someone’s shoulders or chest as if he was going to shove them, but he doesn’t actually shove.
~ If he feels his cheeks heating up with a blush from all the tickles, he’ll cross his arms over his eyes to hide his face as he continues to giggle.
~ Sometimes his friends or his partner use tickles to cheer him up. They also will tickle him if he's taken on too much work by himself and refuses their offer to help. Out of all his friends, Betty is the one who uses these methods the most.
*Betty surprise attacks Mateo*
Mateo: “B-Behehetty!”
Betty: “Being overworked means less rest for you. Let me help!”
~ He’s also a mass of giggles when his inanimals tickle him. Sometimes they’ll even tackle Mateo to the ground or pile on top of him just to tickle him. Mateo will scrunch up his shoulders from their nuzzles and snuggles and lovingly nudge at them. He lets them have their fun.
~ If someone is tickling Mateo and his inanimals are around, they’ll try to get the person’s attention like they’re asking to join in.
*Davi barks at the player, his tail wagging*
Player: Oh! You want to tickle Mateo too, Davi?
*Davi barks happily in response*
Player: Well come on in here, Davi!
Mateo: Dahahavi! Nohoho!
~ Although soft and cozy is Mateo’s style, he’s also got a mischievous side to him. He’s influenced by the shenanigans of his inanimals, and has a bit of a smug side behind his innocent face—like Sprite, his American Cordhair cat. If his inanimal pals are around, he’ll team up with them to take down whoever he’s tickling.
*Mateo points towards the player, smiling wide.*
Mateo: Sick ‘em, Davi!
*Davi barks and rushes over to tackle the player for Mateo. While Davi gets to work on nuzzling, Mateo rushes over to join*
Mateo: Haha! Good work, Davi!
~Mateo chuckles along with whoever he’s tickling. He’s not one to tease unless he’s adding to the banter of the friends around him. With his partner, he mostly compliments how sweet their laughter is.
“Aww, your laugh always makes me smile.”
“I just want to curl up close with the warmth of your laugh all day.”
~ Tickly cuddles are a MUST with Mateo and his romantic partner. He’ll wrap his arms around his partner from behind and nuzzle into their neck or sneakily press his fingers gently into their torso. Mateo will giggle at the play of it all. This tactic is also effective against him if his partner wraps him up in their arms and tickles him.
~ Light scratches under Mateo’s chin or behind his ears also make him scrunch up and giggle, and his partner knows this well.
~ He’ll also act silly when he’s lying on top of his partner like a blanket—his chin resting on their chest. He’ll sometimes feign asking for warmth or cuddles before adding tickles to their snuggle session. When his chin is on his partner’s chest, he can feel the soothing vibrations of their giggles and have a front-row seat to their smile. His partner can also feel Mateo laughing on their chest if he lets out a chuckle. Similarly, this blanket tactic can also be used against Mateo.
~ Mateo doesn’t usually join any tickle fights unless asked by someone else to join. Even then, sometimes he would rather sit on the sidelines and watch.
(Chuckling at the scene) “You all go on ahead. I’ve got the best seat in the house right here.”
~ Mateo always makes sure that his romantic partner is comfortable while tickling them. He’ll make sure to pause and check up on them in case they need a break from the tickles.
Curt & Rod:
~ When asked if they’re ticklish, Curt is the one that gets flustered the easiest. Rod usually shrugs it off and answers as if it was common knowledge.
Rod: “Are we ticklish? Well, Curt is super ticklish. And by super, I mean even the breeze from the wind can tickle him. Me, I’m only a little ticklish.”
Curt: (flustered) “That’s- That’s not even shade! That’s just a blatant lie!”
Rod: “What? Are you denying that you’re ticklish?”
Curt: “I’m not denying that. But I am denying that you’re ‘only a little’ ticklish!”
~ However, Rod will get flustered if someone mentions tickling him.
Rod: “Yeah, I’m ticklish. So? I’m not going to get all red about it like you, Curt.”
Player: (mischievous) “Sooo, you wouldn’t mind if Curt and I tickled you right now?”
*Rod stumbles over his words*
Rod: “W-well, I- Uh-”
Curt: “HA! Busted!”
~ When Curt is tickled, he flails all his limbs and shoves at his attacker, especially if Rod's the one tickling him. Curt will shove at his forehead and try to knock Rod off of him like two siblings messing with each other. On the other hand, when Rod is tickled, he clamps his arms super tight to his sides and wiggles like a worm.
~ Curt will giggle if he’s tickled almost anywhere, but his sides and hips are just a little more ticklish than the rest. Rod’s most ticklish spot is his ribs. It’s one of the reasons that he keeps his arms close to his sides so that no one can reach it. However, Curt knows how to lower Rod’s defenses so he can pry Rod’s arms from him like a clamshell: Getting Rod’s other spots like his belly weakens him bit by bit, allowing Curt the opportunity to easily slip his hands into his friend's ribs.
~ Curt has a more high pitched laugh, like a squawk. It’s full of giggles and has a slight wheeze to it. Rod has a breathier wheeze to his laugh, with a few snorts mixed in. His giggles start off slow, like he’s coughing out a laugh, but when they increase in speed, they sound like an engine revving up.
~ Curt will temporarily cup his hands in his face while he’s tickled or drape one arm over his eyes to hide his face. Rod will usually curl his head into his shoulder to hide his.
~ They’re the types to point and laugh at each other if one is on the sidelines and the other is getting tickled. Similarly, they usually add some banter and commentary if they’re watching a tickle fight break out in front of them.
~ Mateo’s inanimals accidentally tickle Curt and Rod occasionally. More specifically, Sprite will accidentally tickle Curt when clawing at his drapes.
*Sprite is crawling up Curt, tickling him*
Curt: “Mateo! Gehehehet her off of mehehe!”
Mateo: (Trying to catch Sprite) “Sorry, Curt! She’s being more playful than usual.”
Rod: “Haha! Even when she’s not tearing you up with her claws, she’s STILL destroying you!”
~ Wyndolyn knows exactly how to fluster both of them at once. She’ll casually drop how cute they look while tickling them. Curt and Rod don’t throw shade at her, so they’ll just deny that they look cute. Usually, Wyndolyn only tickles them one at a time, but she could get both of them at once, if she really wanted to.
*Wyndolyn is tickling Curt. Rod is pointing and laughing from the sidelines.*
Rod: “Ha! That’s what you get for trying to mess with her, Curt!”
*Wyndolyn glances over her shoulder*
Wyndolyn: “Don’t think I forgot about you too, mister!”
*Rod blushes and silences whatever he was about to say next*
~ If they’re tickling each other, the player, or their romantic partner, expect some major, but playful shade to be tossed around.
*Curt is getting tickled by Rod*
Rod: “Ha! You sound like a hyena!”
Curt: “If I sohohound like a hyehehena, then yohohou sound like ahahaha chipmunk!”
Rod: “Oh no, you did NOT just call me a chipmunk.”
Curt: “I did too! Whahahat are yohohou going to do about it?!”
Rod: (smirking) “I’m just going to tickle you more, that’s what.”
~ Alternatively, if Rod's the one getting tickled:
Curt: “Was that a guffaw? Ha! It was! If I didn’t know any better, I would think that I was watching a cartoon!”
Rod: “And whahahat’s wrong with thahahat?!”
Curt: “Nothing, I just think that it’s funny that you’re the one guffawing.”
~ When they work together though, they’re a devious tickle duo. One of them holds someone down, or in their arms, while the other goes to town tickling them. Occasionally, they will also strike at the same time if they’re both feeling particularly vengeful.
~ They’re both the type to loom over someone when tickling them. For instance, if Curt is sitting behind the player and Rod is sitting by their side, both of their smiles are above the player in full view as they also watch the player’s smile.
~ With their romantic partner, sometimes Curt or Rod wrap their arms around their partner and tickle them. They don’t usually hold them in that position, but they can get in some good hits or surprise attacks this way.
~ The player, and or their romantic partner, is able to tickle them both at the same time. Surprise attacks that hit both of them make them both flustered, instantly. For instance, if their partner is standing in the middle of them and squeezes both of their sides at the same time, Curt and Rod will both sputter out a yelp and a few giggles. It won't last long since they’ll wiggle out of their partner’s grasp soon after, but their partner better prepare for revenge if they think they can sneak attack them both like that without any repercussions.
Rod: (Smirking) “You know, Curt. I think we need to teach them a lesson.”
Curt: (Sharing a smirk) “Couldn’t agree more, Rod!”
The Hanks:
~ They are the type of characters to scream “Tickle fight!!!”
~ More specifically, they have EXTREME tickle fights! (Which is basically just a regular tickle fight, but the “EXTREME” makes it sound even more awesome.)
All Hanks: “EXTREME Tickle Fight!!!”
Player: “An Extreme Tickle Fight? What about it makes it so extreme?”
Hank 1: “Because we’re in it!”
Hank 4: “Just think about it! No teams, all five hanks… It’s a Hank-on-Hank battle!”
Hank 3: “Unless you want to team up with me…”
Hank 2: “But even though it’s called an Extreme Tickle Fight, there’s nothing dangerous. Promise!”
Hank 5: (Weary about himself) “Unless, of course, you’re dangerously ticklish…”
Hank 1: “So how ‘bout it, House homie?”
All Hanks: “Wanna join?”
~ Hank 1 and Hank 4 are the main Lers of the group while Hank 2, 3, and 5 are the Lees; however, Hank 3 will also initiate some tickly mischief on occasions.
~ In order of ticklishness: Hank 5 is the most ticklish, no contest. Hank 2 is second, Hank 3 is third, Hank 1 is fourth, and Hank 4 is the least ticklish.
~ All the Hanks have excited, boyish giggles that sound similar to one another, but their laughs are each a little different when tickled. Hank 1 is a screamer—he will screech when a ticklish spot is attacked. Hank 2’s laugh is filled with squeaks. Hank 3’s is cackly, raspy, and just a bit more high pitched than the others. Hank 4’s laugh is slightly deeper and has a (lovingly) dorky charm to it. Hank 5 has snorts mixed in with his laugh when he’s tickled.
~ Each of the Hanks have different reactions when they’re tickled. Hank 1 flails his arms. Hank 2 clamps his arms to his sides. Hank 3 wraps his arms around himself like a hug. Hank 4 usually takes it with the occasional scrunch or twist. Hank 5 curls himself up and into a ball if he can.
~ Hank 1 is most ticklish at his underarms, Hank 2 at his sides, Hank 3 at his ribs, Hank 4 at his hips, and Hank 5 at his belly.
~ Tackles and pounces are fair game in tickle fights with the Hanks. Sometimes they even dogpile on top of one another and unleash their tickle attacks from there.
~ When they’re the one tickling someone: Hank 1 mixes in ticklish squeezes with his attack. Hank 2 and Hank 5 quickly skitter their fingers when they’re the ones tickling. Hank 3 and Hank 4 playfully dig and claw their hands at ticklish spots.
~ They love hearing laughter. They’re always so supportive and genuinely impressed over every sound someone makes when they’re tickling them, including each other. Their complements can accidentally be flustering, but it’s sweet.
Hank 1: “Whoa! That was a gnarly scream, house homie! I didn’t even know you were packin’ a powerful pair of lungs like that!”
Hank 5: “Was that a snort? Oh, that was adorable! No cap!”
Hank 2: “That laugh was awesome! Thanks for sharing it with us!”
Hank 4: “Oh, that squeak was wicked! The good kind of wicked of course!”
Hank 3: “Well, would you look at that! Your giggles are making me giggle too, bro!”
~ Sometimes four of the Hanks team up to tickle one of the Hanks. Hank 2 is usually the target when they all want him to “Be less nervous, bro!” or Hank 5 is the target when he’s lost in thought and they need to cheer him up. Each one of the Hanks can be a target though, depending on the circumstances.
~ Sometimes they use tickle fights as an excuse for endurance training, or sometimes they make tickle fights competitive against each other.
Hank 4: “You have to handle the tickles amigo if you think you can handle base jumping!”
~ Tickle fights break out frequently between the group. It can happen even if they're doing something simple, like cleaning up the Adrenaline Den / The Competition Casita, playing games, visualizing their success, or inspecting their equipment.
~ Similarly, each of the Hanks throw out pokes. Pokes at random times, pokes after little snarky comments here and there, and pokes if someone's not smiling or deep in thought. On occasion, an accidental, or purposeful, poke causes a big tickle fight to break out.
~ When the player joins them for some fun, 3 vs 3 tickle fights can occur.
~ If all the Hanks come after someone at once, oh it’s over. They can be very mischievous when all five are approaching. They’ll all wiggle their fingers, and or step forward in unison with each other. Also, if someone tries to run, the Hanks will break their formation and playfully fence them in as if they were a horse that escaped their corral.
~ When all the Hanks tackle their target to the floor, they’ll sit in a star formation around them. Either two of them will be behind the person, one will be on each side, and one will be at their legs—or one will be behind, one on each side, and two at their legs. Some of them pin or hold the person while the others tickle, but sometimes all of them tickle at the same time. At that point, the room will explode with laughter.
~ If some of the Hanks aren’t participating and they’re watching two Hanks have a 1 vs 1 battle, or they’re watching the player get one of the Hanks, the rest will instead cheer from the sidelines, like they were watching an extreme sports match.
*The player is tickling Hank 3 and has him wiggling on the floor*
Hank 5: “Come on, Hank 3! Don’t stop now! The battle has just started!”
Hank 4: “Get him, house homie! Go for his ribs!”
Hank 2: “Hang in there, dawg! You got this!”
Hank 1: “Wooo! Go, go go! Let him have it!”
Hank 3: “Brohohohos! I’m tryhihihi–ING!”
~ The Hanks usually keep tickle fights between themselves and the player, but they’re great at delivering tickles when it comes to being a squad who wants to lift up their friends’ spirits.
*Hector was going to create some wind currents for the Hanks to glide on, but Hector’s feeling a little down. The Hanks talk to him.*
Hank 1: (Nudges him gently) “Come on Hector. You can’t make those gnarly winds for our gliders if you’re sad like this.”
Hank 2: “But we’re also worried about you as a friend.”
Hank 4: “So come on bro, cheer up!”
Hector: “I appreciate the concern, but… I don’t know…”
Hank 3: “Oh, I think I know what this calls for.”
Hank 5: “You know it, bro.”
All Hanks: “HANKS! IT’S TICKLE TIME!!!”
~ Alternatively, they’ll use their mischievous methods of tickling against their friends, either when cheering them up, or if the Hanks are persistent about something.
*Jean Loo is refusing to help with their Windsurfing adventure. The Hanks all have smirks on their faces and are slowly approaching him. Jean Loo knows exactly what they’re thinking.*
Jean Loo: “S-stay back! All of you!”
Hank 3: “What’s the matter Jean Loo? Are you feeling flushed?”
Jean Loo: (Trying to growl) “Do not use toilet puns on me!”
*The Hanks step forward in unison.*
Jean Loo: (Jumps back and squeaks) AH!
~ The Hanks will all be taken off guard, and some will be flustered, if the player or their partner screams “Tickle Fight!” to them.
Hank 2: “Uh oh! Scatter!”
Hank 4: “We just unleashed a monster of a tickle monster, bros!”
Hey @brainrotqueen! Thank you for your patience for these! It’s my first headcanon request! So here’s part two, wooooo!!! Somehow, I think I made these headcanons even longer than the last 😭. I just kept adding ideas and, behold, this is the product Lol
Here are headcanons for Fantina, Lux, Telly, Bobby Pinn, and Reggie!
Fantina:
She doesn’t initiate any tickle fights when she’s still in “fan girl mode” and fawning over the player. It’s only until she actually learns more about them and becomes true friends with them, or lovers, when she shares this bonding experience with them or with any other objects in the house.
Fantina is a screamer when she’s tickled. When a new spot is hit or she’s taken by surprise, she’ll let out a giggly scream through her laughter. It’s one of those laughs where if someone’s not looking, or they hear it from the other room, it sounds like she’s in danger, but she’s actually just cackling and giggling from being tickled. Dorian has run in once or twice thinking that she’s in trouble, only to face palm, and to be relieved, that there’s nothing to be afraid of. Dorian, as well as the other objects, got used to it eventually, smiling every time they heard it.
Sometimes if someone runs in, she’ll ask them through her laughter to help anyway to add another friend to the fun.
- “Gehehet them! Tickle them ohohoff mehehe!”
When her opponent is tickled by another, that’s when she turns the tables and double teams them.
She also squeals amidst her laughter, like she’s excited about seeing someone. She usually squeals, then dissolves into an abundance of giggles before the cycle starts over again—squeals that lead to giggles, especially if another ticklish spot is hit.
She’s the most ticklish at her hips and sides. If he’s standing and her hips or sides are tickled, she will wiggle like a leaf being blown in the wind.
She’s a squirmer. When tickling her, it's impossible for her to sit still. She’ll twist away, fall to her knees, roll, flip, claw at the ground, every way that someone would imagine how to squirm away. It looks like she’s “trying” to escape, but that’s more her way of playing along with it by exaggerating her movements.
Instead of trying to push someone off of her with her hands, her fan headpiece turns on to try and “blow” them away, but she, as well as the person tickling her, knows that it’s not strong enough to actually push a whole person away. Once again, it’s her way of “acting” like she’s fighting back without actually fighting back. It makes for great teases against her though:
- Player: “Oh, thank you for cooling me off, Fantina. Tickling you works up a sweat.”
- Player: “Thanks for the breeze, Fantina. Now my hair can blow in the wind while tickling you, like an action movie!”
Fantina’s cheeks flush when she’s tickled or teased. When she feels them heating up, she’ll cup her cheeks in her hands for a moment before continuing to flail them around.
Ironically, she’s weak to air-based tickles. If her romantic partner blows air on her neck or a raspberry, she’ll scrunch up her shoulder and sweetly giggle. Sometimes, even pretending to tickle her makes her giggle.
On the flip side though, she is also excellent at delivering air-based tickles. Raspberries are one of her go-to methods with her romantic partner to get them flustered.
If she finds out someone, like one of her friends, is ticklish, she will not let it go. Most of the time, she will not even let them leave without actually seeing it for herself. She thinks it’s the cutest thing ever.
For instance, Stepford and Dunk were having a wrestling match together, and Stepford accidentally revealed he was ticklish. Fantina, being in the same room of the gym and a bystander to the match, couldn’t help but hear that part. She just had to see it for herself how ticklish he was. Dunk was more than happy to help. Well, until he also accidentally revealed he was ticklish, then the tables were turned on him.
She’ll be so excited when she discovers something new. She’ll also throw a few fan-based puns in her teases too, and then she'll be really proud of them.
- “Oh my gosh! You’re ticklish there too? I had no idea! You have to tell me these things more often.”
- “I’m a big fan of your laughter! Hehe. See what I did there?”
- “That smile of yours is fan-tastic. Ha! I’m on a roll.”
With her romantic partner, she smothers her lover in tickly kisses. She cups their head in her hands and plants tons of kisses on them. She does it at first to make her partner chuckle, then she provides light pokes and tickles with her kisses, or a comforting hug with tickles mixed in.
She teases her romantic partner by awing at them while she tickles them, always saying how cute they are.
- “I didn’t think you could get any cuter! But yet here you are getting, well, cuter!”
- “I knew you were cute, but not THIS cute.”
After she tickles someone, she’s very kind afterwards, offering to cool them off if they look warm or flushed.
- “Oh no! Did I take it too far? Here, let me help you cool off.”
Lux:
On a scale from one to ten, with ten being the most ticklish, Lux would be a four. They’re not that ticklish, but they can still be tickled.
The threat of being tickled doesn’t phase them. If they see wiggling fingers after them, they’ll scoff and stare their potential attacker down.
- “Do you really want to try that on me?” they say it like a threat.
Jump scares or surprise attacks don’t really work on them. They’ll jump away from the sudden shock of being tickled, but return the favor with a stern glare.
Basically, they’ll fight someone if someone even tries to touch them. But, there are a few ways of being able to tickle them:
1) Lux is tricked into being tickled. They agreed to one thing, like doing a new “trend” or morning routine, and the next thing they know, Lux is being tickled by one of their friends, realizing quickly that it was a trick. Usually, the method of trickery is used when the objects are trying to teach Lux a lesson. They’ll playfully “punish” Lux for keeping them up all night with their streams, or disturbing them with their tutorials. Celia and Florence have tricked them once or twice with this method and tickled them until they agreed to stop whatever disturbance they were making… at least temporarily.
2) The second, and best way to tickle Lux is if they specifically ask, or if they’re already expecting tickling to come out of the content they’re making. For example, if it’s a video like a “Try Not to Laugh” challenge, a “Laugh challenge,” or even a “Tickle challenge,” then Lux expects tickling to be fair game and they’ll even use tickling themself. Or, if they’re marketing a new makeup product, Lux may need someone to help them genuinely smile for the photoshoot:
- “I have this brand new line of concealer that I, like, need to advertise, and the slogan is, ‘It’ll light up your whole face so you can shine as bright as a smile.’ Sooo I need to be smiling. I thought I could sell it better if my smile is even more blinding than my usual beautiful look, so I need you to tickle me!”
Lux’s laughter is, unsurprisingly, bright. However, it is also surprisingly child-like. It’s giddy and full of plenty of energy. It’s a laugh that brings warmth to someone’s heart, and being the personification of light, it’s expected that Lux’s laugh provides a warm feeling when someone hears it.
Speaking of warmth, Lux warms up when they’re laughing since they’re spreading all that joyful energy. Their lights, as well as the lights in the house, are actually a little bit brighter than usual when they’re being tickled.
Lux is really good at staying poised while they’re purposefully trying not to laugh. They can be focused on another task and not move a muscle; Lux’s sides could be getting squeezed and tickled and it would look like they didn’t feel a thing.
They will react though, no matter what, if the center of Lux’s stomach, or their core, is targeted. That’s where they’re the most ticklish. If Lux is holding in their laughter and their stomach is tickled, a hard flinch and a suppressed giggle will surge out of them and a flood of their laughter will immediately follow. If they’re already laughing and Lux’s middle is tickled, prepare for their laughter to reach another octave; the house lights might even flicker for just a moment because of their change in pitch.
Lux will latch on to their opponent’s wrists when they’re being tickled. They won’t shove or push—too much “work” for them—unless they’re at their limit, but Lux will hold on tight for the sole reason of not knowing what else to do with their hands.
When Lux is the one tickling though, they use pokes, like they’re pushing buttons, and flutter their fingers as their main methods of tickling.
Lux teases someone by acting like the person being tickled is in a photoshoot, or on one of their livestreams. Occasionally, Lux actually does livestream it, which only adds to the flustering aspect.
- “Helloooo, Luxies! Aren’t they, like, just totally adorbs?”
- “Yaaaas! Werk that smile!”
- “The fans are just eating this up! Keep going!”
With their romantic partner, Lux doesn’t mind throwing or receiving a few pokes or scribbles here and there on stream with them. The fans love the tickle moments, and Lux is happy to provide them.
They also make an exception for sneaky tickles when it comes to their romantic partner. If their partner sneaks up on Lux and tickles them, Lux will lean into their embrace instead of trying to jump away from them.
Telly:
Telly is an open book. If you ask him if he’s ticklish, he’ll tell the truth. He’ll even say where he’s the most ticklish if he’s asked.
- “Am I ticklish? Yeah, sure I am! Why? Are you curious?”
He won’t even be mad if someone tries to tickle him after he reveals the information. That doesn’t stop him from being flustered if wiggling fingers are coming his way though. He won’t run away from it, but he will already be giggling from the suspense.
Telly’s not really a fighter. He purposely keeps his hands away from defending himself while he’s tickled and takes it. It’s because he knows his friends are entertained by him being tickled. As a TV, his job is to entertain others—so why not let them have their fun? He doesn’t mind it and he knows his friends enjoy the play that comes out of it.
Usually, he’s tickled by his friends when they want to spend time with Telly instead of watching TV, or if they can’t decide on a singular show to watch, but they all agree on tickling Telly.
His friends will make TV-related jokes while tickling him. They’ll ask Telly to change the channel, ask him to agree with one of them which show is the best, or ask him which show they should watch. Mostly the living room objects, plus Keyes and Gaia, are usually the ones who team up on him.
Telly’s laugh is loud and boisterous like his TV personality. And he can get LOUD. His laugh crackles a bit, but instead of sizzling static, it’s crackling waves of giggles. Sometimes, little airy hisses and snickers come out of him that actually do sound like the static of a TV. His friends and or his romantic partner joke about that all the time:
- “The TV is loud! Where’s the remote?”
- “There isn’t even any speaker connected to you, but your laugh is booming!”
- “I think the TV is broken. It’s making giggles instead of static!”
He’s most ticklish on his ribs, knees, and feet. His ribs get the best giggly reactions out of him.
Using a “claw” hand and swiping it back and forth across his ticklish spots like someone is “zapping” him is absolutely killer on Telly. His laugh will rise in pitch and he’ll giggle there, stunned, like he’s frozen from the shock. He also uses the claw method himself when he’s the one tickling someone, so he gets a taste of his own tickly medicine.
If Telly is tickled while he’s standing, he curls his arms close to himself as a reflex, but he eventually eases how tight his arms are squeezed so his friends can still reach his ticklish spots.
If he’s tickled while on his back, he’ll kick his legs in the air like he’s riding a bike in the Tour de Pants— I mean, Tour de France (Bad object pun joke, I’m sorry 😭).
Surprisingly, Telly can keep up the rhyme in his words while he’s being tickled. He’ll probably be cut off once or twice by his own laughter, but he’ll say it if he can manage it through his giggles.
- “I knohohow I’m loud! But thihihis is gahahathering a crowd!”
Telly usually tickles others if he gets dragged into the attacking side of a tickle fight, or if he’s trying to cheer someone up. With his romantic partner, he’ll happily tickle them if they ask or if they also need some cheering up.
As a ler, Telly of course uses his regular rhyming patterns while saying his teases:
- “Prepare for a zap! It’s time for a tickle attack!” *Telly plunges a claw hand into his opponent’s tummy.*
- “The sound of your laughter is exactly what I’ve been after!”
- “I hear one giggle, but what if we make it triple!”
Telly also has a “tickle dial” tease that he does. The higher the sound of someone’s laughter, the higher the dial is turned up.
- “Hmm, sounds like the laughter is a little low, let’s turn up that dial and see how high it can go!”
- “No need to touch that dial. I mean, just look at that smile!”
When tickling someone, he switches to different spots, pretending that he’s switching to different “channels.”
Per his character, Telly will quote TV shows in the appropriate voices as teases if the quote fits the situation:
- *Telly catches the player if they try to fight back.* “Resistance is futile!” (Star Trek)
- *Telly tries one more spot.* “One more thing…” (Colombo)
Also with his romantic partner, Telly’s “TV personality” lowers a bit, and is replaced with more sincerity. Tickly cuddles as they watch TV together are a must. Plus, he likes adding tickles depending on the type of show they’re watching.
Is their partner stressed about a suspenseful show? A little bit of tickling will help ease the tension! Are they disagreeing on what contestants are going to win this week’s baking challenge? Add tickling in to convince them of who’s “right.”
He enjoys having his partner rest their head in his lap as they sit together. It’s easier to lean down and kiss them and give them soft tickles to their belly and sides.
Bobby Pinn:
They’re a fighter who will eventually turn into a ball of giggly goo. They’ll bat at the hands tickling them, shove, push—they’ll even kick if they have to (Bobby will at least restrain their kicks though so they don't hurt whoever is tickling them).
Bobby’s laugh is made up of raspy giggles and cackles if they’re laughing hard.
Bobby will argue with their “attacker” that they’re not ticklish while they’re being tickled.
- “Bohohohobby Pinn of the crime s-syndicate is tohohohough, n-nhohot ticklish!” (But then they’ll break and admit it) “Ohohohokay!!! I lied– Hahaha! I am tihihihicklish!”
They’re the most ticklish on their sides up to the bottom of their ribs. Anyone skittering their fingers up and down Bobby’s sides and ribs at a rapid speed will send them flying into giggly cackles.
If they’re standing up while being tickled, Bobby will fold themself in half. Unless they’re being held up, Bobby will double over and sink to the safety of the ground as quickly as possible.
Bobby actually doesn’t mind cheer up tickles, but they’ll never admit it directly. When Bobby started working with I, Ronaldini, the magician would provide Bobby with cheer up tickles from time to time if they felt nervous about a performance or homesick. Bobby will act like tickling is too childish and ruins their tough image, but they’ll always give I, Ronaldini a sincere “Thank you” afterwards. He knows that it helps Bobby get over the occasional slump. Even Ron's Rabbit Iron has occasionally snuggled into Bobby to cheer them up.
If Bobby is attacked by surprise, or their upper body is targeted, Bobby’s arms are immediately clamping to their sides. It might be too late by then, accidentally pinning (ironically) their attacker's hands to their ticklish spots, but Bobby keeps their arms glued in place like it’s their best method of defense.
On the flip side though, Bobby is much stronger than they look. They can easily pin an opponent down and deliver quick, nimble tickles that can, in most cases, get their opponent giggling up a storm in seconds. It’s kind of scary how good Bobby is at it.
For example, Kristof towers over them, but Bobby can crawl, jump, pounce, dodge his attacks, and retaliate with their own to make all those pounds of muscle crumble to the ground beneath them.
If Bobby’s opponent is trying to protect or cover their tickle spots, they’ll find a way to break through. Bobby is someone who likes earning their way towards hearing their opponent’s laughter, and Bobby enjoys the thrill of the challenge.
Their hands will jump around and scribble at different spots, pause at one, and then hop around again. They’ll pretend that they're picking a “lock” or a “laughter lock” as an excuse for their hands maneuvering around so much.
- “If you’re choosing to lock up your laughter, then I’m just going to have to pick that lock!”
Bobby sometimes initiates tickle fights with their friends. Surprise or sneak attacks are their favorite, and they’re even more fun if they have an accomplice (like the player) with them. I, Ronaldini has been the target of many of their shenanigans. Bobby has even teamed up with Ron’s Rabbit Iron from time to time to get him.
Bobby has a mischievous side to them, just wanting to initiate tickle fights purely for the reason of playfully messing with someone.
They will continue a tickle fight if it’s started on them. Whoever attacked them first is not getting out without Bobby enacting a little vengeance. Usually, if someone gets the jump on them, they can turn it around pretty quickly in their favor. Once they have someone in their clutches, good luck to their opponent for escaping and or talking their way out of it.
- “Ha ha! I gotcha! There’s no escaping the clutches of Bobby Pinn now!”
Bobby is really good at finding someone’s tickle spots. They can tell from the way someone laughs or flinches, and once they hit a sweet spot, all their focus is drawn there. No one is safe when Bobby’s a firecracker of a tickle monster on the loose.
They’ll cheer on the person that they’re tickling, like they’re challenging their opponent to prove something.
- “Any good member of the crime syndicate has a loud laugh! Come on, you can laugh louder than this!”
With their romantic partner, they don't squirm around as much. They still squirm, of course—it tickles! But Bobby feels safer in their arms and will allow them to get a few more scribbles in than if anyone else was tickling them. Bobby will still certainly get their revenge, but if their partner is lucky, then they might leave their partner off with a playful warning of a few tickles.
Also, Bobby likes brushing their lover’s hair from their face as a form of affection. So, when tickling them, Bobby gently brushes their partner’s hair away to see their partner’s whole face laughing and smiling. Bobby will stay quiet and produce a soft smile of their own, basking in the moment, before returning to their usual, rowdy self with a full-blown tickle attack.
Reggie:
He will absolutely fib that he isn’t ticklish when he totally is. But he’ll act super laid back if he’s asked.
- “Ticklish? Nah, honey. That ain’t my style.”
If someone threatens to tickle him, wiggling their fingers at him, Reggie will still act unfazed. Though, a keen eye may be able to see that he’s subtly leaning back or backing away.
- “That’s cute, baby. But it has no effect on me.”
The best way to tickle Reggie is getting him when he least expects it. Because he’s so laid back, getting hit by a surprise attack throws off his groove and gets him good. He’ll screech and jolt in place as if a shockwave was coursing through him. If his hair could jump up in shock with him like a cartoon, it would.
He’ll try to hold in his laugh, really try and resist it, but he will fail in seconds every time.
Reggie is the most ticklish on his torso, specifically anywhere on his abdomen. He’s confident enough to have it exposed all the time, but when that opening in his outfit is exploited with tickles… Yeah, he regrets it briefly at that moment, but he wouldn’t change it.
He has a boisterous, deep laugh, with fast paced “Hehehe”s mixed in as giggles.
His whole body shakes when he laughs and his face scrunches up. When he throws his head back and laughs, which is often, his hair will splay out behind him like a flattened jellyfish.
Reggie will twist and turn away from the tickles. Either his hands will be crossed over his body as a shield, or he’ll smack at the hands tickling him. Occasionally, he’ll shove at the shoulders or the chest of his attacker, but that leaves him wide open for a follow up attack at his upper body, so he usually avoids this method.
Most of the objects choose to leave Reggie be, but if some of the more friendly objects are fed up with his constant quips and sassy remarks, they’ll decide to give him an attitude change with some tickles. Reggie is one of the few people that even Dorian, who usually watches and stays out of the business of others, will plot to tickle him.
He sasses the person, or people, tickling him, more so by accident. It’s hard for him to stop his flow of sassy comments. It’s his nature. But, he regrets it immediately if he says something sassy that only makes the ones tickling him even more enthusiastic to do so.
Reggie: “Heheheahaha! Is thahahat the best you can dohohoho?”
Player: “Oh, now you’re asking for it, Reggie!” *They go for his stomach. Reggie screams.* “How’s this? Is this better?”
Reggie: “GAAAH! Hahaha! Ohohokay! I believe yohohohou!”
Alternatively, he also may compliment the person tickling him on how (playfully) “mean” they’re being, saying how, “That was a good one!” Or how he’s “So proud,” or that they're “learning his ways” as he laughs.
- “Ohohoho! Thahahat’s sohohoho mean! I lohohohove it!”
Reggie doesn’t blush much. It’s only when he receives compliments about his laugh or how cute he looked while he was being tickled that he’ll play with his hair, pout, and turn red.
Reggie will tickle someone to loosen them up! If someone’s going to get into the groove of “rejection” then they’ve got to be laid back like him!
His strategy is to stride up behind his target while he’s having a regular conversation, then attack when they least expect it. He’ll vibrate his hands in place before ticklishly digging into the same spot, grinning as he watches the one he’s tickling nearly crumble to the floor.
With his romantic partner, he’ll wrap his arm around their waist and occasionally give them pokes and tickles here and there, acting all innocent afterwards.
- “What? I’m not doing anything?”
- "Why are you squirming so much? You’re not trying to get away from me are you, baby?”
If there is a tickle fight going on in front of him, Reggie can not resist commenting flustering teases from the sidelines. He’ll sometimes add in some puns too.
- (Dorian is on the floor getting tickled) “Oh, how cute. Our door has become a doormat.”
- (Bobby is being tickled) “Looks like our little bobby pin is in a tight spot.”
- (Lux is being tickled) “Your lighting looks great, Lux! Quick, someone take a picture!”
- (Telly is being tickled) “Ohoho this show has me hooked!”
- (Fantina is being tickled) “Do let us know Fantina if you’re getting winded.”
If he’s asked to join the tickle fight by some of the objects, he’ll usually leave it to them and stay a bystander, relishing watching the chaos happen. UNLESS, the one being tickled is someone that Reggie desperately NEEDS to see loosen up (*cough cough* Dorian *cough*), then he’ll join in.
Puppy dog eyes from his romantic partner work on him. Reggie may be the personification of rejection, but if his partner is asking him for tickles, either verbally or non-verbally, he will happily provide them with some.
- “Who am I to say no to such an adorable face?” Reggie says, gently holding his partner’s face and smiling.
The long awaited Part 4 is here! Thank you for the anon who suggested these characters, and thank you all for your patience! I did not mean to make these headcanons I long as I did, but oh well, that just means more content to enjoy!
Here are headcanons for Cam, Dasha, Penelope, Mac, and Shelley!
Cam:
~ Unfortunately for his tough guy image, Cam is very ticklish. He’ll hold in his laughter as much as he can, squeezing his lips shut, but snorts will still slip out that slowly deteriorate his strength to keep in his laughter—so eventually, a snort will lead to an explosion of his laughter.
~ His laugh is cackly and a bit raspy. For softer giggles, his laugh comes out like an abundance of chuckles that he can’t contain. When he’s really laughing though, a few wheezes will pair with his cackles and he’ll throw his head back towards the ceiling.
~ Whenever he’s tickled, Cam will snap his arms down to his sides, similar to an automatic lid of a trash can. He’ll eventually move his arms to bat at the hands of those tickling him, but almost always his first move is to slam his elbows down in defense, even if his sides aren't the place that’s being tickled.
~ His most ticklish spot is in a specific spot, but getting him there will have him melting into a giggly puddle that’ll make the Cam everyone usually knows unrecognizable with how much joy that spews from him. The spot is right between the sides of stomach, the bottom of his ribs, and his sides, where all three of those places meet. Those like Beverly, Lady Memoria, Freddy, and his romantic partner like to exploit that spot the most to see him giggle up a storm (But also because they know that Cam won’t be mad at them afterwards for using his weakness against him).
~ His neck, knees, and underarms are also where he’s the most ticklish. The back of his knees will have him kicking. Fluttering fingers at his neck will have him scrunching up his shoulders to his ears. A surprise scribble at his underarms will make him jump and spill with giggles as if there was a glass of water being spilt.
~ Some of the objects, like Lady Memoria and Beverly, have tickled him before, especially when they thought he was being grumpy.
Cam: I’m not grumpy. This is just how I am.
Lady Memoria: We’ll see about that.
Cam: What are you– HEY!
Alternatively:
Beverly: Your vibe is bringing down the mood for customers, so let’s fix it!
~ Cam will jump back with a “HEY!” if his sides are surprisingly squeezed or poked.
~ When he’s teased, Cam will either refuse to admit he’s cute OR he’ll straight up admit it even though it makes him blush. It just depends on what response he feels like that day.
Player: Aww, Cam! You’re so cute when you’re laughing!
Cam: Yeah, I knohohohow! Yohohou’ve sahahaid it like ten times ahahahalready!” (He’ll growl through his giggles, but he likes the complement coming from them).
~ Cam is not usually one to involve himself in tickle fights, but he can be a menacing tickler if he’s in a playful mood. He’ll grin and flex his fingers at someone, like they’re itching to strike. He’s also not afraid to chase someone down if he’s set on tickling them.
~ When he’s caught who he’s tickling, he’ll test out spots one by one. He’ll occasionally mix and match his methods—a scribble here, a squeeze there, or latching on to a spot and clawing his fingers there. No one will expect what comes next.
~ He has a wide grin when tickling others. If someone moves in a certain direction, he’s good at catching them or honing in on their movements. It’s difficult for someone to escape “Cam the tickle monster!” (something he will occasionally say).
For example: If someone kicks their legs at him, he’s immediately catching them with reflexes like a cat and tickling their knees.
~ His teases for finding good spots for someone's laughter usually include phrases he similarly says when he’s excited about nice pieces of trash.
“Heh, nice find.”
“Oh, now what do we have here?”
“Score.”
~ If he ever initiates, it’s usually against Beverly, his house “neighbor,” but he’ll also team up with others if he thinks they deserve tickles that day.
~ NIBBLES AND BITES. This man canonically says “om nom nom” in-game. If he is using bites and nibbles as a tickle method, he will be saying this. Especially with his romantic partner. He will also use the little bit of his stubble and nuzzle into them as a tickle method too.
Dasha:
~ Dasha has the BEST tickle hugs in the house. Her strength can lift anyone off their feet. “You are light, like feather!” She can hold them in the air, even while they wiggle and giggle, but she also delivers plenty of tickle hugs without lifting someone up. She also sometimes wraps just one arm around someone and tickles them with her free hand. Good luck to anyone even trying to get out of her grip. (Though if they ask to be let go, Dasha will never push them).
~ Dasha’s joy when tickling someone is contagious. Others may want to join in simply because Dasha looks like she’s having so much fun with it. Of course, others are happy just by watching from the sidelines too. Dasha will laugh along with whoever she’s tickling, and even the person being tickled may laugh more just because of Dasha’s enthusiasm.
~She’s a big tickle monster. Dasha always wants to make sure everyone is having fun!
~ She is SO excited when she discovers someone is ticklish. Usually, she wants to try out their ticklishness right away!
“Dah! Why didn’t you tell me! I could have been tickling you this whole time!” *she says before scooping them into a tickly hold.*
~ She absolutely adores tickling her friends. She always makes sure that her strength isn’t hurting them, and adds just enough pressure to make her friends fill the room with giggles. She likes providing cheer up tickles, mischievous tickles, revenge tickles, and basically any silly scenario that would lead to her tickling her friends.
~ The office objects are usually her first targets for tickles. Able is also up there as well. No one will be feeling down or overworking themselves on Dasha’s watch!
~ Dasha herself is not extremely ticklish, but she’s still ticklish enough to get some loud laughs out of her.
~ Her giggles are surprisingly squeaky, but her louder laughs are deep and similar to fast-paced cackles.
~ Her arms are one of her most ticklish spots. Scribbling at her forearms or the bend of the arm will get an abundance of giggles from her. The bottom of her ribs are one of her more ticklish spots as well.
~ Dasha loves allowing her laughter to let loose! She’ll never hold it in. The only exception is if it’s a competition, like a try not to laugh competition. But even then, Dasha will argue that: “A laugh should not be contained! A laugh should be free like bird!”
~Similarly, Dasha will do very little to defend herself while being tickled. She rarely squirms, but she will occasionally curl her arms in close or pound her fist on the floor to let out the tickly energy somewhere.
~ Sneak attacks don’t work on Dasha. Even if she doesn’t realize someone is coming, one scribble to her side will cause her quick reflexes to grab onto the person’s hand and pull it away. If Dasha still has her hand in theirs, this only allows Dasha a clear advantage as she grins and (most likely) retaliates.
~ If someone challenges Dasha to a tickle fight, she will happily oblige like it was an arm wrestling match. Most of the time, she will come out victorious.
~ Dasha will point out when her tickling / her method of stress relief, is working, AND will point out that the person is enjoying it. She sounds so happy when she talks about it, while also teasing the person, just a little bit.
“Ah! You’re rather enjoying this, eh? Good! I am glad to see that frown off your face!”
“See? Not even sadness can withstand Dasha’s incredible feats of stress relief!”
~ Her teases also include complementing someone's laugh.
“Yes! That is a strong laugh! Like the roar of a lion!”
“Awww, how charming. Your laugh is making me laugh.”
“Your laugh just warms my heart!”
~ On the flip side however, Dasha will become flustered if someone says that she looks cute or pretty while she’s being tickled. She’ll appreciate the compliment with open arms, but she’ll blush and stutter or stumble over her words at the fact that those nice descriptions were said about her. Sometimes, she might retaliate with a few tickles against the person, just to quickly switch the subject. A similar effect will happen if her laugh is complemented too.
~ With her romantic partner, Dasha will also deliver gentle tickles to them, like fluttering her fingers over their tummy or giving them soft cuddles and hugs, but she’ll also get them with her strong and playful tickles depending on the circumstances.
Penelope:
~ If someone even considers tickling Penelope, she’ll either react one of two ways. The first is that she’ll freeze and have wide eyes behind her glasses, like a ‘deer in a headlight’ look. The second is her playing it off as a joke and over-exaggerating that it was funny in order to mask the mass panic spreading inside her. The blush on her face and her fiddling with her glasses easily reveals her flusteredness.
“HAHAHA! YOU KIDDER! You’re not seriously thinking of ticking me! That’s silly!” She clears her throat, wide eyed. “R-Right?”
~ Penelope is really nimble and good at dodging potential pokes and tickle attacks, but if someone grabs her in a hug or tackles her to the floor, she’s out.
~ Penelope is a screamer when she’s tickled. She’ll scream before a wave of shrieky giggles come tumbling out of her, and she’ll scream mid-giggles too. She also has cute snorts mixed in, especially if her giggles are running rampant.
~ She is also very much a squirmer and super jumpy. She’ll clutch her arms to her chest as if she was hugging a notebook, roll around, kick, and try to curl herself into a ball.
~ If she’s standing while being tickled, she’ll grip onto the hands tickling her and try to wrench herself away. She’ll hop forward like a bunny and hold one leg up like a flamingo, as if her leg will (somehow) be used as defense like that.
~ A lot of her friends, especially Dasha, have fun picking her up and tickling her, and Penelope gets giddy bubbles in her stomach like she’s on a rollercoaster ride. It’s almost like she gets extra giggly that way simply from her feet being off the ground.
~ She’s mostly ticklish around her sides, and the spot right between her sides and belly gets an abundance of giggles from her. Her calves are also really ticklish. A squeeze there will earn a giggly shriek, without a doubt.
~ Soft traces against her or pretending to “write” on her with scribbling fingers, like a pen to paper, also gets her incredibly giggly. Especially if she’s with her romantic partner. The gentle touch and the love and care from her partner paired with playful teases will make her blush. She’ll giggle just at the thought of it.
~ Sometimes while she’s being tickled, she’ll also attempt to throw out revenge tickles as a last ditch escape effort, and like a flight or fight reaction that she doesn’t have time to think about.
~ She’s not really one to get revenge or initiate tickle fights because she knows her own ticklishness will put her at a disadvantage, but she enjoys watching them happen. Usually, if she joins in, she’ll join in with a team. Or, she may join in if more than one person has already started a tickle attack against another.
~ However, the only time Penelope usually initiates is if her friends are playfully teasing and purposely testing her patience to help her let loose. If they keep ‘poking the bear,’ Penelope will eventually cave in and teach them a lesson.
Example: Mac purposely teases Penelope that office supplies are out and the digital world is in. Penelope argues with her, but Mac continues on this train, trying to get a rise out of Penelope. Penelope’s patience is strong, but eventually, she gets fed up and yells “That’s it!” with a great big smile and wiggling fingers that pounce at Mac.
~ Her main method of delivering tickles are soft scratches and scritches with her fingers. For example, she’ll start from someone’s sides and scratch her fingers gently up someone’s entire torso before backtracking down again.
~ While tickling someone, Penelope will take mental notes of which spots have the best reactions, or where the laughter spikes, and she’ll share them out loud. Even if she already knows about the spot, she’ll still say it.
“Oh! Your belly is really ticklish! Good to know… good to know.”
“Ticklish sides: check! Hmm, I should try the ribs next.”
“Loud bouts of laughter at the armpits. Noted.”
~ She’ll mention quotes about laughter or smiles either while watching someone get tickled, or if she’s tickling someone. She’s not a big teaser, and more so says it in order to show off the positive qualities of laughter, but the timing makes it come off as a tease. She won’t deny that there are times that she does say her quotes to purposely tease though.
“‘There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.’ - Charles Pickens.” (Real quote from Charles Dickens. Also yes I’m using a quote I’ve already used in one of my fics-)
“‘A day without laughter is a day wasted.’ - Charlie ChapStick-lyn.” (Real quote from Charlie Chaplin)
“‘A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.’ - Phyllis Pillar.” (Real quote from Phyllis Diller)
~ She also does the classic fawning of “Aww!” / “That was so adorable!”, like she was watching a group of puppies, over how cute someone’s laughter is while they’re being tickled. Again, she doesn’t mean to tease them, but she does think it’s funny when the one getting tickled gets a bit flustered from it.
~ Penelope also shines as an “assistant” or an “accomplice” for tickles. If someone takes the lead and asks her to “Get their sides!” or “Hold their arms!”, Penelope will do her best to help. She’ll also share her mental notes to her teammates, so that all of them have an even greater advantage.
~With her romantic partner, she also likes snuggling her face into their neck to tickle them. Alternatively, she’s also ticklish at her neck if her romantic partner nuzzles her there too.
Mac:
~ They like using tickling for cheering someone up and just being silly with their friends, so they’re not a huge fan of using tickling or being tickled as a persuasion method—unless it’s purposefully being used to make someone happy! (EX: “Persuading” someone to cheer up!)
~ Their giggles are squeaky and can be categorized like “Hehehehe!”s, kind of like a sound a tiny gremlin would make if they’re being tickled (but it’s an adorable sound!). When they’re tickled, Mac usually lets out a squawk of laughter before dissolving into a bundle of giggles.
~ They will cup their hands to their face to try to hide their flustered expression and the heat in their cheeks. Although, they’ll probably steal a peek or two through their fingers. Mac likes to say that they’re “overheating.” Usually, they defend themself by squeezing their arms to their sides and curling their whole torso forward. If they’re sitting in their wheelchair, they’ll sometimes curl their middle so far forward that it’ll look like they’re about to fall off the chair (but they’re fine lol).
~ If someone is looking to make Mac even more flustered, any teases that mention how red their face is will do the trick.
Player: Careful, Mac! Your cheeks are so red I can see your CPU overheating!
Player: I think the R in RGB is showing.
Player: Isn't it great that we’re interfacing like this? I can see your blush this way!
~ Pokes and gentle tickles are Mac’s weakness. Someone pretending to type on Mac’s ticklish spots like a keyboard are an instant cause for giggles. For instance, if someone taps on Mac’s arm, softly scratching their fingers along their binary code tattoos, Mac is covering up their smile and giggling profusely into their free hand.
~ Mac is most ticklish at their belly, with their back around the shoulders coming in at a close second. Their arms, neck, and palms are also good spots for soft cascades of giggles to pour from them.
~ Tickly massages will turn Mac into nothing but a ball of laughter in the person’s hands. Again, soft tickles work the best against Mac, and Mac’s romantic partner would take full advantage of this with soft kisses, nuzzles, and cuddles.
~ 99% of the time, Mac is taken off-guard by any tickle attempts. One would think that Mac, the one that can process millions of pieces of information at once would at least be prepared for such an occasion, but Mac will stare with wide eyes at the person wiggling their fingers at them, as if their systems needed to reboot.
~ Although Mac doesn’t mind being tickled, where Mac really shines is when they’re the one doing the tickling. They’re not a “tickle monster” per say since they’re not usually the ones to initiate a tickle fight, but if one breaks out in front of them, they’ve got a keen eye for observation that can certainly help!
~ Mac is fantastic at reading if someone is ticklish or not. Even a single poke that seemingly had no reaction paired with it, Mac would be able to spot it. They can detect the slightest flinch, a twitch, a quivering smile, a hint of giggles in someone’s words, etc. They’re not one to keep this information to themself either. Oh no, they’ll share that information right away and call that person out with the biggest smirk on their face.
“Dorian, I can’t help but notice that your eyebrow twitched when Dasha grabbed your side.”
“Jerry, your eyes keep darting to the side. You’re not hiding something are you?”
“Dasha! Could it be? I just saw you flinch at that poke!”
~ Mac is also excellent at determining someone’s tickle spots. Mac can read the different decibels, or volumes of laughter, along with any reflexive reactions. Then, they’ll slowly hone in on that ticklish spot, like they were getting closer to cracking a password to a laptop.
“According to my calculations, you're ticklish…here!”
~ Mac is the curious type and will test their theory if someone is ticklish. Usually, they resort to a poke or two just to confirm it, or they’ll wait until the person admits it. Alternatively, if they’re planning a grand attack against someone, like one of the more stubborn types of characters, Mac will usually strategize with another person so that they can take them on together.
~ Mac can be devious when they team up with another. Similar to Penelope, Mac is usually the "support character,” where they won't initiate, but they’ll certainly help make it “worse” (in a silly way, of course).
For instance, if Jerry is giggling on the floor and trying to squirm away from Chance tickling him, Mac will come over and grab his arms above his head so Jerry is leaning on Mac’s wheelchair or their legs as back support, allowing Chance to tickle him silly.
If Dasha has Penelope in a bear hug off the ground, Mac will join in by grabbing Penelope’s legs and holding her legs still, or putting her legs in their lap and tickling her feet.
~ 50% of the time, Mac will join in a tickle fight by actually tickling the person. The other 50% is if Mac joins simply by helping with comments and observations from the sidelines.
~ Their fellow office objects are their favorite targets to deliver tickle attacks to, and they love assisting them too.
~ Similarly, the office objects will occasionally tickle Mac if the computer is continuously being teasy to them, and the office objects want to playfully teach Mac a lesson! Or, they’ll tickle them if Mac needs a quick cheer up!
~ With their romantic partner, Mac loves it when they’re sitting in their lap so Mac can tickle them. They also enjoy it if their partner is resting in their lap, such as laying their head on their legs so Mac can glide their fingers through their hair. And of course, provide tickly kisses and scratches on their neck and behind their ears.
~ The little mouse on Mac’s shoulder also occasionally tickles them, like nuzzling into their neck and ears, or slipping into their shirt if Mac’s mouse really thinks Mac needs to smile!
Shelley:
~ GIVE THIS WOMAN TICKLES ASAP. *Woe have cheer up tickles be upon thee*
~ Shelley loves being tickled! She loves the feeling, she loves smiling, she loves giggling, and most of all she loves the positivity that comes from it—the real and genuine feeling of uncontrollable positivity, rather than forced, toxic positivity. Sure, tickling is a reflexive reaction that causes a smile, but she has so much fun with it that it only enhances her already wide smiles and big bouts of giggles.
~ She won’t fight anyone who tries to tickle her (unless it’s a tickle fight. Then, she’ll fight back because she wants to win!) She’ll purposely try to keep her arms as far away from herself as she can so it allows the person tickling her to have free range. She’ll occasionally have the reflexive reaction of a twist or a jolt, but for the most part, she sits there and takes the tickles like a champ.
~ Although she doesn’t squirm that much, her arms and legs become preoccupied. For example: her legs will be kicking with glee, or her hands will move up to her face to briefly cover her smile, or she’ll put her hand on her forehead as she giggles away. She also may pretend to shove or push someone off of her, but she’ll simply rest her hands there, purposely not trying to put any strength behind her shove.
~ Ironically, even though Shelley enjoys being tickled, she’ll deny that she’s ticklish to keep up her image of “toughness.”
“I’m totally not ticklish, pal! HAHAHA! What are you talking about?!”
“Ticklish? ME??? HA! NO WAY!”
Fortunately, it’s easy to see through her act, and most that receive this response are more than happy to prove her wrong.
~ Her laugh has a hardy sound to it, while also having a bit of squeaky-scratchiness to it—and very, very bubbly! Her laugh starts out as soft, but the more she’s tickled (or depending which spot is tickled) the louder her laugh gets!
~Shelley’s abdomen is the most ticklish, and she has it exposed all the time. She’s really ticklish around the center of her belly, especially her belly button. Scribbling around her belly button will get huge, joy-filled laughs from her.
~ Even soft tickles get Shelley giggling. She’s able to hold in her giggles and keep her smile at bay if she wanted to—like if someone isn’t purposely trying to tickle her—but if someone is softly scratching at her ticklish spots with the intent to tickle her, she’ll let out bundles of soft giggles.
For example: The player is using a feather duster to dust off Shelley. Shelley, at first, holds still and keeps in her giggles, but the more the player (with a smirk on their face) dusts Shelley, Shelley begins to have a quivering smile and her giggles begin to show.
~ Her friends notice when Shelley is stressed. Once they find out that Shelley is ticklish and enjoys it, they use tickling as a way to cheer Shelley up or to help her relax! The ones who usually use this method are Lyric, Dasha (once she gets closer with Shelley), and some of the gym objects like Dunk and Stepford.
~ Shelley has so much fun making tickling a competitive game or a challenge. Because she can control her wiggling, she’s great at challenges that have her keep her arms up while being tickled. As stated before, she also enjoys participating in tickle fights.
“Come on! I can handle it!” she says, confident and smirking.
~ The ones she usually initiates tickle fights with are Dunk, Stepford, and Kristof, but she’ll take on anyone willing to play! She also occasionally tickles Lyric if he needs a brain break and won’t take it upon himself to take a break.
~ Shelley does not STAND for grumpiness. If someone is being grumpy around her, she’ll pout and debate on using tickles against them. She won’t jump to using tickling right away, but she’ll more so observe and watch the person to see if tickling is the way to go.
Dorian: "I'm not being grumpy. I just look this way while I’m doing my job.”
Shelley: (*narrowing her eyes at him*) “Hmmm, I’ll believe you. For now.”
(Yes, she is absolutely thinking about tickling him later if she doesn’t see him smile).
~ She also pouts if someone tries to resist her tickles and if they refuse to smile. The competitive spirit within her will burn bright and she’ll be determined for them to crack a smile and laugh.
~ Her tickles are usually rough, like she’s wrestling with someone, and sometimes she may not know her own strength, but it’s always intended to be playful. With her romantic partner, she’ll also add in some more gentle tickles for them too.
~ She’ll always check in on who she’s tickling, either asking sweetly like “Are you okay?” / “Is this too much?” or while fueled by the competitive spirit like, “Had enough yet?!”/ “Ready to surrender?!”
~ Shelley is excellent at lifting someone up bridal style and delivering tickles while they're trapped in her hold. If the person’s stomach is exposed, Shelley is taking a big, deep breath and blowing the most tickly raspberry imaginable on their belly.
~ Shelley occasionally delivers surprise tickles hugs, basically by charging at someone and barreling into them. She’ll scoop them into her arms, maybe spin them around a few times, before going to town on their ticklish spots.
~ Shelley loves seeing the smiles on her friends, but she ADORES seeing the smile on her romantic partner. She’ll tickle them the most just to see their smile bloom. She cherishes the image and it always makes her feel warm inside.
~ If Shelley is tickled by her romantic partner, sometimes she’ll wrap her arms around them and just giggle any worries away. For example, she’ll throw her head back while her arms are wrapped around her partner's neck, or giggle into their shoulder with her arms around their waste if bundled into a hug.
