Squid game tickle headcannons from yours turly!:
-When Jung-Bae really pisses him off Gin-Hun will never hesitate to tickle him, before the games, during the games, and even after in the au where everyone is okay. He's insanely ticklish. His sides and neck are his worst spots. I'm thinking mainly his neck.
-Dae-ho tickled Jung-Bae once and only once. Ever since Jung-Baes' revenge tickles, Dae-ho has never dared to tread that territory again. He learned that day just how much of a tickle monster his found family dad can be.
-Hyun-Ju has a secret tickle spot behind her ears that Gyeong-seok accidentally found when gently moving her hair behind her ears.
-In-ho forgot that lee moods exist and that he gets them frequently, until he met Gin-Hun. After that, especially after joining the games himself, it all came flooding back to him. For better or for worse.
-If you squeeze Dae-hos hips, he'll actually jump. Straight up in the air like a cat. (Can you tell who's my favorite 🥰🫶)
-Lee Myung-gi (player 333) would be the main target of all of Jun-hee's (player 222) tickle attacks when they were dating. It was their favorite way to bond and Jun-Hee always joked about how he's a Lee and his name is Lee. Which he forever denies because well...its him.
-Young-sik looks ridiculous ticklish but really isn't. This shocked his mother, but there's still a few spots that get him. They're just not "go to" spots. For example, he's got a really ticklish back/spine, and the tops of his knees are bad too.
-Thanos isn't ticklish at all, although everyone wants him to be. There might be one spot, but it's never been discovered. At least not yet. This does make him a pretty merciless ler, though he's a bit more gentle with the ladies, however, and min-su. Nam-gyu and the others get no such special treatment.
-Ali, in season one, of course, is a 50/50 switch. He's ticklish and doesn't mind being on the receiving end, but he makes one hell of a ler too! Especially with his teasing! (In my head, he is thriving and got mad revenge on Sang-Woo)
-On the season one grind, Sae-byeok has only let one person ever tickle her, and it was Gin-Hun. She didn't even know she was ticklish until Gin-Hun arrived. She's only ever dished it out to her little brother to cheer him up. Gin-Hun took it easy with her because he's the best
-(a little sad) but Jun-ho once used to enjoy it with In-ho but after everything, and the trauma he's faced, he is more touch adverse then he used to be. The only one that helped slowly get him out of his funk was Choi Woo-seok. They became closer after agreeing to help Gin-Hun and it was the first time he laughed in a while, as well as trusted someone, so he's slowly enjoying tickles again but likes to be more on the giving end nowadays.
-Gyeong-seok forgot how ticklish he was too until he met Hyun-Ju. His laughs are so loud and high pitched, it's Hyun-Ju's favorite sound now, once she found it out she didn't want to stop but the poor man had to breath! It was adorable. Their tickle fights are more often occurring now.
-In the au that everyone's okay and they're all at home: when Dae-Ho has a nightmare he'll just find Jung-Bae and it always ends in cheer up tickles.
-In the same au ^^ there was one day that Jung-Bae wasn't around, so when he was sad Gin-Hun took over tickled him. They got closer after that, and Dae-Ho was over the moon about it. Like he said: He had always been a Gin-Hun fan after the first game.
-Jung-Bae tickled Gin-Hun during the night they stayed up talking and told him teasingly to "quiet down" because people were sleeping while scribbling all over his tickle spots.
-Hyun-Ju, before the 3rd game, tickled Young-mi to help make her feel less scared, and as an apology to try and make up for pressing O. Young-mi was never mad at her, but the cheer up tickles definitely helped.
That's 16, I should stop but if you want more I've got plenty in the chamber! I've been dying to talk about it as you know! I'm obsessed!
-K 🫶💕
K to the rescue as usual lmao
(At this point, in my au Sang-woo, Ali, and Sae-byeok are living happily together as Gi-hun's roommates)
