Tickling headcannons because I want to give my babies some love.
Jean: His most ticklish spots are his feet and behind his knees. Nobody knows this except for Dion and Murtair.
He lowkey wants to be tickled but also sees it as weakness and therefore perceives it as a little shameful but Murtair helps him to change his way for thinking about it.
He hates being tickled and tolerates it at best (has threatened people with violence before) when its anyone else other than Murtair tickling him (he sometimes made expectations for Dion when he was younger but not so much anymore).
The best types of tickles are gentle, feather like touches and they get him giggling like a child its literally so cute. And he doesn't ask, he just kinda lays down on his stomach, feet in Murtairs lap, as a silent invitation to tickle him.
Dion: Not ticklish at all. This man will have no reaction whatsoever.
Elodea: Another one who isn't ticklish. She'll break your arm before you even get close enough to touch her.
Murtair: This baby is so freaking ticklish its adorable. His most sensitive spots are his feet, his knees, his thighs (like those squeezes just above the knee? Yeah those have him cackling), his ribs, his underarms and his neck.
He loves getting into tickle fights with the little ones, even letting them 'overpower' him and bombard him with tickle attacks. The other caretakers lowkey disapprove though but they just ignore it since they're kids and Murtair has been around long enough for them not to shun him for it.
He has only let two other people tickle him before: his caretaker and Jean. And he still let's his caretaker tickle him in passing or as a little greeting despite him being an adult now. He let's Jean near his most sensitive spots and absolutely thrives under the awkwardness of his poor emotionally constipated baby trying to show physical affection to anything other than his 'pet'.
The best types of tickles are really quick and aggressive (light) scratching. He has this really deep, belly laugh and it's so freaking loud and filled with so much happiness that the younglings love it ( and so does Jean but he wouldnt admit that outloud).
Sam: Sorta ticklish but not really. Like, they have a few spots like their waist and ribs that are somewhat ticklish but it won't elicit a strong response like Murtair.
Elodea has sometimes launched tickle attacks on Sam when in private whenever they were feeling down and needed some cheering up.
Half on the fence about tickling. Do they enjoy it? Yeah kinda but they also don't really want to ask for it either. The type to wait for someone to initate it before even thinking about bringing it up.
Thier laughter is kinda strained and forced because they are uncomfortable with laughing naturally. So they control thier laughter to make sure they aren't too loud or anything like that. Elodea, on the other hand, is able to get more high pitched squealing out of them, and child like giggles which may or may not warm her heart.
Andre: This mf says he isnt ticklish yet is one of the most ticklish one out of the group. His most sensitive spots are his thighs, his waist, his ribs and his armpits.
He loves getting into tickle fights with his sister and, despite them both being extremely ticklish, he is always the one on the receiving end of the tickles. He just can't seem to get a one up on her once they start.
He, and his sister, have also gotten into tickle fights with Murtair (but this wouldn't be for a long while) and he absolutely loves (and also hates) that Murtair is relentless in his attacks.
The best types of tickles are a combination of gentle scratching, poking and squeezing. It has him gasping for air with that silent laughter from laughing so hard. Definition of wheezing it's so adorable.
Adelie: Another mf who says she isn't ticklish but is, again, one of the most ticklish in the group. Not as ticklish as Andre or Murtair but more ticklish than Sam.
Best spot is her feet, and she's only ticklish on her feet. It makes it harder for people trying to tickle her, especially her brother, and also makes it so that she is less of a target.
Is the one to initiate the tickle fights with her brother, and is usually the one attacker while her poor brother is barely breathing. There are a few times when she let him tickle her because she felt a little bad that the fights were to her advantage.
As mentioned before, she and her brother would also be getting into tickle fights with Murtair. It's the first time she's ever been actually over powered in a tickle fight but Murtair makes sure it's fair. So they take turns being the ones to tickle and the one (or two) tickled.
The best types of tickles are the softer, more gentle touches (like Jean) that are barely grazing the skin. It makes her squeal and giggle and snort (high key the most adorable laugh out of all of them).
