UNCATEGORIZED FILES: Completely Random Ticklish Character Examinations

Exploring the multiverse for ticklish test subjects is surprisingly tedious sometimes. There’s so much data to sift through, tons of organization, and you’re often stuck with the same popular victims.

It’s fun to go after underutilized, unknown, or obscure entities. As of yet these personality profiles cannot properly be sorted within existing folders.

Mary Smith (Mary & The Witch’s Flower)

Most Ticklish Spots: Arches, Belly, Knees

A kind but proud witch student…skillful, protective of own image. Can’t stand being tickled - considers it humiliating and frustrating. Post-release, will immediately curl up into a ball, or cover her stomach with her arms and pout.

Sad-sounding laughter that really lers you know that she hates it. Helplessly begs for it to stop.

Will react with fury, and fight back.

Tickle Talk: Playful teasing with plenty of giggles, if she’s the one who starts it. If enacting revenge, however, she taunts aggressively and angrily to embarrass her playmate as much as possible.

When allowed the use of magic, imaginatively utilizes tickling finger spells, as well as object manipulation and stasis.

Teased about how ticklish she is by her boyfriend Peter. Tickle fights common.

Add. Notes: Comparisons to (her contemporary) Kiki are all but inevitable - not quite as ticklish but much less open to enjoying it. Direct side-by-side comparison may be beneficial for studying the impact of magic on sensitivity.

Razor Lemay (Starlink: Battle for Atlas)

Most Ticklish Spots: Feet, Abs and Belly Button, Upper Ribcage

This no-nonsense metal band pilot is highly resistant - use stronger restraints in future. A violent thrasher. Headbanging skills came in handy when freeing herself.

Never ceased to let me know that I’m a “sick weirdo.” Consider this possibility.

Though toned and muscular, her skin is surprisingly soft. Weak to any kind of tickling.

Most effective tool: backscratchers

Has an airy laugh that is mostly gasps and wheezes; runs out of breath quickly.

Used the phrase “oh my god” more than any other subject studied so far. Offered up nonstop torrent of swearing, violent threats, and begging for mercy.

Jojo McDodd (Horton Hears A Who)

Most Ticklish Spots: Sides, Feet

Hates it. Becomes embarrassed and angry when tickled. Will frustratedly sulk rather than fight back or seek revenge.

Usually groans through teeth but can’t prevent the odd chuckle from slipping out. Skilled at holding his voice in. Press the matter further.

Involuntary reflex - noodly arm flailing if not restrained.

Very responsive to poking and light, fluttery touches.

Often depressed. His mother, Sally O’Malley (who, according to him, is also quite ticklish - investigate) used to tickle him in attempt to cheer him up, but abandoned this years ago upon realizing it bothered him.

When his younger sisters want to pester him, tickling is a go-to option.

Add. Notes: With their long, fuzzy, highly-animated fingers, natural mischievous mirth, and piano-playing aptitude, the Who species has evolved anatomy well-suited for tickling others.

Schell The Spacewitch (Yooka-Laylee)

Most Ticklish Spots: Belly, Armpits

Considers tickling to be her “one true weakness” - doesn’t hate it, but it renders her utterly incapacitated.

Has one of those hearty laughs that carries well over distances.

Feathers are very effective.

Will eagerly return the favor - once used feather tickling as an interrogation method on a fellow spacewitch.

Interplanetary adventures have put her in conflict with various alien plants and monsters, some of which accidentally tickled her with tongues or tentacles or the like - take samples for further lab testing.

Sphinx (Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy)

Most Ticklish Spots: Belly Button, Feet

The adventurous and heroic sort, he’s a little bit cocky….tickling is a good way to make him slightly less so.

A surprisingly effective technique is to tickle his stomach with his own tail. Good results.

He himself occasionally uses his tail this way to flirt with girls.

Not excessively ticklish, but ticklish enough. Will at least squirm and try to pull away.

Doesn’t show much strong emotion…more vaguely weirded out by this than anything else.

Pipirika (Magi: Adventure of Sinbad)

Most Ticklish Spots: Toes/Balls of Feet, Ribs, Inner Thighs

Unusual Ticklish Spots: Inner Elbow

Loud and rough, unrefined. But also very friendly, excitable, and loves to laugh.

Like all Imuchakk people, huge in stature and musculature. Between her large size and insistence on always going barefoot, she’s a tempting target.

If you ask if she’s ticklish, or for permission to tickle her, she’ll gladly say yes and volunteer with a big smile on her face.

That said, she frequently seems to find herself much more ticklish than she remembers.

She likes it but she’s a kicker. Hard to pin down and will not hold still. Tough restraints essential.

Will always seek playful vengeance or start a tickle brawl. Loves to tickle her brother and friends. Often giggles and laughs more than the people she tickles.

Hearty, rumbling belly laugh. Very cute.

Can’t keep a secret; will tell others if you like tickling. (Not out of malice - she thinks it’s hilarious.)

Fire (Adventurers: Masters of Time)

Most Ticklish Spots: Feet, Lower Tummy, Belly Button

Self-described as “a total tickler. You better watch out!”

Her default attack when trying to escape an enemy’s grip is to tickle them. Has done it more than once. It’s canon. So there.

Claims to have used her school’s time travel computer specifically to visit and “play tickle pranks” on famous historical figures. Seemed very excited by the multiversal capabilities of the Tower.

Spunky and playful. Very energetic. Tickle Talk: mean, merciless, and will make fun of her victims for being so ticklish and weak.

Apparently aware that her constantly-exposed belly invites tickling. Will dare others to start a tickle fight with her “because you’ll lose.”

Most vulnerable to rough tickles (especially brushes).

Always laughs wildly and tells her tickler to stop, but seems to enjoy it at less-intense levels.

Add. Notes: I like this girl. She could be very useful.

Saki Amamiya & Airan Jo (Sin & Punishment/Smash Bros.)

Most Ticklish Spots (Saki): Feet, Belly, Lower Ribcage

Most Ticklish Spots (Airan): Toes, Sides

Virtually inseparable couple. Could not tickle one without the other.

A highly skilled gymnast and gunner, Saki will jump out of his skin when tickled. Airan will lash out physically or curl up into a defensive ball.

Saki is the more ticklish of the two. He’s a live wire of sensitivity; a poke can cripple him. Has a high-pitched giggle.

Airan has a low, wailing laugh. Quickly tears up and complains about how much her tummy hurts when tickled.

Airan sometimes tickles Saki awake in the morning and teases him when he squirms.

Both hate being tickled: feel it’s a silly, embarrassing vulnerability.

Neither are particularly touchy/physical and never really tickle each other. Don’t think about it often.

Saki eventually develops Ruffian physiology after an experiment with his blood - effects of this on ticklishness unknown.

Tess Darrett (Pole Position)

Most Ticklish Spots: Arches, Armpits

Unusual Ticklish Spots: Upper Back, Under Chin

Rarely far separated from her stunt rally cars and spy technology. Exceptionally difficult to apprehend.

Resourceful and skilled in combat. Exercise caution.

Once captured by a criminal organization and interrogated with feathers to make her reveal the access codes to her stunt car computer AI, Wheels. Strong willpower - laughed and laughed but refused to talk.

Otherwise is only ever tickled by her younger sister Daisy (who reportedly is also very ticklish, and has also been interrogated to force her older siblings’ hands).

Not usually a tickler. Avoids going after her younger brother, because he’s not ticklish and would definitely get her back.

Typical sibling relationship: her brother used to pin her down and tickle her when they were kids. She hates it.

Add. Notes: If a woman who is deeply entrenched in the seedy underworld has big 70s/80s hair and often wears a jumpsuit, just assume that she’s tough but with a soft side and also very ticklish. (See also: Fujiko Mine, Carmen Boom, April O’Neil.)

Conclusions:

I might indeed be a sick weirdo. This merits further study.

Breaking character…yeah, IDK what the hell this is and I’m assuming none of you care. Just kinda wanted to blow off steam. I like weird characters that nobody else really cares about.

And why the hell do I even write some of my blog entries this way? Deliberately making things “less fun” seems kinda like a bad idea.

rant time?

Soooo I get triggered really badly by a/nti content and blogs. That happened again just now, and I’m gonna rant about it. Feel free to read/reblog/whatever and talk to me about it if you’d like. I definitely would like to commiserate with other people who experience this kind of thing. I’m just putting it under a read more so I don’t accidentally trigger somebody else, or expose someone to discourse if they don’t want that.

I’m not explicitly discussing sexual assault or anything. I’m just mentioning abusive relationships with age gaps that I’ve had in the past. I’m also talking about how I feel when I’m triggered, so feel free to skip out on this if you’re afraid that’ll send you into a similar mindset.

A blog I was following just reblogged a post from an a/nti blog. I looked at a couple of their other posts, which also came from a/nti blogs. Conclusion: they are a super quiet a/nti, or person who’s okay with a/ntis, who doesn’t say anything about being a/nti-Shaladin in their blog description but follows a/nti blogs.

I’ve just blocked them, and a couple of the a/nti blogs their posts came from. This is the first time I’ve ever done this. I try to avoid blocking people on principle. I don’t like to cut myself off from other people’s perspectives. I like to be able to learn from them. But I just don’t see myself learning anything from perspectives that say I’m supporting abuse by shipping Sheith.

I’ve been in two different abusive relationships with significant age gaps. The first one started when I was 15 and the other person was 20. The second one was when I was 20 and the other person was in their 40s. (They never mentioned their exact age to me. They seemed like they’d rather not think about it and just relive their youth through me, making up for all the things they missed out on at my age.)

I am super, super triggered by a/ntis saying that by shipping Shiro and Keith, I am approving of everything that happened to me.

I started shipping them in the first episode of season 2, where Keith was jetting across a barren, rocky planet to save Shiro. I loved the way they worked together and smiled at each other and reassured each other through a scary situation. I always go for the “tragic best friends” ships. I also ship Stucky (Steve and Bucky from Captain America) real hard. Gimme that good “two dudes just being bros loving and supporting each other unconditionally and fighting impossible odds just to stand at each other’s side again” shit.

Today I thought, “I guess Sheith is like healthy relationship porn for me.” I also enjoy Kl/ance, but my heart goes to ships where people who are life partners in every other sense start to realize that they’re in love with each other too. I’ve seen a post where someone said they shipped Sheith because they’d never been in a healthy relationship, and they liked seeing Keith and Shiro’s dynamic. I relate to that. I like to see that it’s possible for two people to love and respect each other and come together to form something greater than the sum of their parts. I want to believe that something like that can exist.

I relate to Keith and project myself onto him. I love headcanoning him as a gay, autistic trans guy like me. Dating is so hard for me as an autistic and trans person. Even without taking systemic oppression into account, it’s hard to allow people in when I’m scared of being traumatized again. I’ve got some walls up too.

I want to believe that someone like Shiro can love someone like Keith despite all of his social awkwardness and pain and rage, or maybe even because of it. I want to believe that there are good guys like Shiro out there somewhere, amidst all of the creepy, misogynistic, transphobic guys who keep messaging me on gay dating apps. I want to believe that it’s possible for someone like me to find a healthy, loving relationship. Sometimes it feels like a fucking pipe dream.

I am deeply triggered by people saying that the relationship is inherently unhealthy because of an age gap. I don’t even view Shiro and Keith as having a significant age difference. I thought of them as being maybe three-ish years apart from each other before the guidebook came out, with Keith in his late teens or early twenties. After hearing that the guidebook wasn’t even made by the Voltron showrunners and some of the information is inconsistent or out-of-date, I’m not inclined to change my headcanons. If Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos are confused about the Keith and hippos thing, how do I know for sure what is true in the book? When Star Wars fans are confused about a certain aspect of canon, we don’t go to a book written for kids called “The Official Star Wars Handbook” or whatever and take what it says as gospel. It’s fun to enjoy this stuff, but I’m not going to take it too seriously.

But some people do, and they call people like me pedophiles. And I get triggered, because I start feeling like I must have somehow supported what happened to me, and like I’m supporting similar things happening to other people. I get so angry to have this happen when I don’t even see them as having a big age gap, when I don’t want to see them that way because that triggers me too. I don’t want to imagine a 17-year-old Keith meeting a 24-year-old Shiro at the Garrison and feeling sexual tension build between them. That freaks me the fuck out.

I’ve tried so hard to convince myself that I didn’t ask for what happened to me. It’s hard to believe that when a post pushes my Trauma Brain™ into “this happened to you because you deserved it and you’re a bad person and you secretly wanted it” mode. It starts feeling like maybe I’m just broken and I naturally gravitate towards things that hurt people. Now that I’m closer to Shiro’s age in the guidebook than Keith’s, it also starts feeling like I might hurt someone else the way I was hurt. Trauma Brain™ is not logical. It doesn’t care that I know for a fact, deep in my core, that I would never hang out with and date a fucking 15-year-old.

I like Sheith a lot, but I don’t have any problem with people who like b/roganes. If you find comfort from seeing Shiro and Keith’s relationship as brotherly, just like I find comfort from seeing it as romantic, please keep doing what makes you happy. I’mma stay in my corner and you stay in yours, and we don’t have to bother each other. But god, my Trauma Brain™ goes nuts when I see a/nti blogs that also have b/roganes. Like, not only am I approving of abusive relationships with age gaps, but I’m approving of incest?? Sometimes literal incest, because some b/roganes content portrays Shiro and Keith as literally being brothers?? My brain just starts shitting itself. And I hate it so much, because I’m autistic and Voltron is my special interest right now. This is supposed to be soothing me, not triggering the fuck out of me.

I especially resent that I can’t search for autistic Keith or trans Keith content without finding a bunch of a/nti blogs. I just want to be able to find this representation without shit saying “shaladins don’t interact.” Seeing that just sends me on a fucking roller coaster with my brain being like, “Right, I’m a fucking Shaladin, because I approve of Shiro being shipped with literally any of the other paladins, who are all apparently underage or barely legal, and he would be taking advantage of them if they ever actually dated, and apparently I fucking secretly support pedophilia and don’t even know it.”

Again, Trauma Brain™ is not logical. It doesn’t care that I know I don’t support abusive relationships with age gaps, or any abusive relationships at all, or pedophilia. Even though it’s illogical and just plain incorrect, it fucks with my mindset a lot. It’s past 1am and I’ve been writing this damn rant for a couple of hours. I got up at 6:30 this morning to go to work, and I haven’t gotten any sleep since. I know I need to go to bed, but I just want to get all of these feelings out. Otherwise I feel like I’m going to choke on them while I’m trying to fall asleep.

I’m just angry, tired, and bitter as hell that people are the way they are, and that my Trauma Brain™ is the way it is. I fucking love this show. I’ve seen all the episodes at least three times. Reading fanfic where Shiro and Keith are being sweet to each other has helped me get through a brutal year. I’ll even admit that the NSFW/explicit fics have helped me too. It’s pretty damn cool to see people having sex while keeping each other’s comfort and boundaries in the forefront of their minds at all times. Even the weird, kinky shit is healing for me when many of my experiences with sex haven’t had my comfort or boundaries in mind at all.

I just wish that I could have all of that without also being prompted to stay up late when I’m fucking exhausted in order to process being triggered by the fandom. I hate that a subset of the fandom fucks with my mental health so much when the show has been really good for me otherwise. I guess I just have to keep blocking a/nti blogs and hope I stop seeing them someday? Maybe? One can dream, I guess?

If you read all of this, I really appreciate it. I’m totally up for talking about this kind of thing together if you’ve had similar experiences and want to talk to someone. Have a good night!

#sheith #discourse #i don't really know what to tag this as #i just went to the sh@ladin positivity tag to see if this might be appropriate there #and a lot of it was nice but a few of the posts were not nice at all and now they're messing with me too #i'm gonna get off tumblr for now #good night
