I’m literally on episode one of CR, not even two hours in, and I have brainrot for Caleb and Molly. 4 and 7 from the prompt list with Widomauk, if that’s ok? 🥺 // @tickle-bugs

widomauk brainrot is a disease and i never want to be cured

4. “I don’t like the look you’re giving me.”

7. “I happen to know a weakness of yours.”

“So, what is it today, Mr. Caleb?”

Despite his instinct toward self-preservation, Caleb does not turn to look at the source of the voice. “A moment, please.”

“Fire again? Ooh, or something to beef you up a bit, make you less squishy?”

A violet tail drifts through his field of view, and—fine. Fine. He sets his quill down. “Can I help you, Mr. Mollymauk?”

Mollymauk’s scarlet eyes are gleaming in the dim tavern light. “I don’t know, can you?”

“I am not playing this game with you tonight. I have work to do.”

“Perhaps I can convince you otherwise.”

Caleb picks up his quill again. “You can certainly try.”

He can hear Mollymauk’s purr. “That’s dangerous.”

“I don’t like to look you’re giving me.”

“You can’t even see—”

“I know.”

There’s a pause.

“Well, I happen to know a weakness of yours.” A toothy grin appears by Caleb’s ear, just in his field of view, and. Scheiße. Fine.

He sets his pen and book down to the side, swinging to face the object of his attract—er, distraction head-on. Mollymauk’s smiling at him.

“Hello, handsome.”

Caleb narrows his eyes. “This feels like an excuse for something.”

“Ah, darling, everything I do is an excuse for something.”

Caleb opens his mouth to say something, not exactly positive what it will be but certain that it will at least put Mollymauk off long enough for him to finish his transcription, but what comes out is decidedly not a witty comeback. A claw pinches delicately at his side, and Caleb jumps, unable to hold back his—well, his yelp, really, and oh, no.

“Oh, dear.” Mollymauk’s smirk is lethal. “You are in trouble, aren’t you?”

“I—ah—”

Another pinch, this time to his hip. “Why don’t you set that pen down,” Mollymauk is saying, and gods, if Caleb could focus for even a moment this would be so much easier, “and keep me company, hm?”

Caleb’s face feels warm, and his shirt far too thin. “I, ah… what—hm—whatever you say.”

Mollymauk’s fingers trail over his ribs, delicate and magnetic in their path over his most ticklish spots. “Excellent.”

thinking about superbat + massages….Clark earnestly trying to take care of Bruce and Bruce trying to lock in and not squirm….Bruce trying to do something nice for Clark and not be stunted in his affection and then of course this golden retriever of a man is giggling and won’t stay still

I can’t think of a prompt so I’m dumping these loose thoughts in your hands like a penguin giving out shiny rocks // @tickle-bugs (I almost signed this as you again lmao)

3 vodka cranberries in and im writinfg it. thank you for the thoughts they have truly spoken to me. i love your metaphorical shiny rock. if we were penguins we would be penguin friends and we would speak penguin language to nerd out about superbat.

hi hello i hope this isn't weird but what do you love about The Great? I finally have hulu and im about to start watching it because of you fr like i dont go there but I WANNA GO THERE // @tickle-bugs

omg hi i love this question!! i'm gonna tell you my favorite and my least favorite aspects so u can make a genuinely informed decision lol!! i believe this is all vague enough to not give anything away but give you a genuine review of the show to help you decide to watch it!! i would LOVE if you watched it, i think if you wrote a fic for this in your gorgeous style, i would DIE bc...i just know you'd KILL IT but also 0 pressure, seriously.

my favorite things about the great are:

the characters are all incredibly well-written, well-rounded, and well-acted - especially elle fanning's portrayal of catherine

the humor is sort of dirty/low-hanging fruit but it genuinely always makes me laugh, every episode, someone will say/do something so absurd or hilarious that it cracks me up

the dynamics between all the characters are fascinating - it takes place in a country/time period where class/status, gender, etc. all are so important to your place in society, and yet, characters often have unlikely imbalances of power and different dynamics that you might not expect

the romance is so compelling, just about every romantic relationship has so many layers to it and plays into many different tropes: you have the doomed-by-the-narrative lovers, the childhood besties to star-crossed lovers, the enemies AND lovers simultaneously...just the romance and the sexual scenes are all so compelling and well-done, they clearly had a great intimacy coordinator on this or smth bc damn

THE COSTUMES ARE SO FUCKING STUNNING, like the costumes are indescribably beautiful and actually breath-taking. the dresses that all the main women wear are like actually perfect, i want to steal them all. elle fanning is so beautiful and they manage to make her look even more amazing, like her hair/makeup/outfits are just incredible, but everyone looks so good.

this show doesn't use "it was a different time period" to justify any lack of diversity - there are characters of all different races, multiple canonically queer characters, women are badass and well-written/represented, and while it does address issues like aspects of discrimination in russia during that time period, there is very little actual racism/homophobia in the show, like the characters who are black or queer do not suffer.

my least favorite things about the great are:

the historical inaccuracy is self-proclaimed, but gets a bit silly at times - catherine the great was so fascinating and well-documented in history, but they really just took a concept and ran with it without even trying to get anything right? there are little things like, the number/gender of siblings catherine had, but then the huge differences like how catherine rose to power and became empress. it makes a compelling story, but if you're a history buff, it can be frustrating!!

on that topic, it does gloss over a lot of the good that catherine the great did in real life as it gets caught up in the drama/comedy/romance of the show and forgets to show her as the genuinely accomplished woman she was.

this is a big one: it got cancelled. i haven't finished s3 yet, but i'm a few episodes in and i'm not confident that it is going to end on a fully satisfying note. if a show being cancelled is a turn-off for you, this one did just end and i'm still not sure if the ending is anti-climactic or not, lol.

lastly, this doesn't personally bother me, but it is extremely inappropiate. there is a lot of violence (not too much gore, everything is either very obviously fake, or not explicit), nudity/sex, and totally vulgar language. there is a lot of infidelity, implied/mentioned SA but no scenes that are violent or explicit, overuse of the word "cunt", etc. so just proceed with caution and consider looking up content warnings if you're wary!!

tickle honesty hour (I am WAY PAST THE HOUR LOL) but do you have favorite tropes/character types to write? // @tickle-bugs

ahhh this is is sort of similar to another question i answered so apologies if i just repeat myself lol

touch-starved characters that didn’t even know they were ticklish because no one has touched them like that in years or ever

touch-starved characters that crave being tickled because it’s so fun and affectionate

grumpy, stoic characters who are insanely ticklish, totally shattering their reputation

characters who like tickling the way we all do and having their partners discover it and getting to finally experience their fantasies

childhood best friends who know every single one of each other’s weak spots and still use them to their advantage well into adulthood

the first discovery, whether it be finding out someone is ticklish, someone likes being tickled, they snort when they laugh, etc.

accidental tickles, like drawing on someone, giving them a massage, kissing their neck, and being confused and then smitten when it clicks that they’re just sensitive
