#bts tickles

🪶 he will tilt his head and look at you with an innocent, wide-eyed expression, making you think he is just spacing out, right before his hands move at blinding speed

🪶 he loves to show off his strength by lightly pinning you with minimal effort, flashing a cocky, toothy bunny smile as he watches you try to escape 🫠

🪶 he will openly dare you to fight back, saying things like, "Go ahead, try to run, "knowing his reflexes are too fast for you

🪶 due to his muscles and strength, escaping him is actually impossible

🪶 he can easily trap your ankles with one hand or use his entire frame to hover over you, pinning you securely against the couch or rug

🪶 he leans toward the rougher, high-pressure side of tickling

🪶 his movements are sharp, explosive, and relentless. He has boundless stamina, meaning he won't get tired and stop; he will keep the tickle attack going until you are completely breathless and begging for a truce 😩

🪶 Jungkook uses his strong grip to rapidly squeeze and shake your waistline

🪶 it is a high-intensity, deep tickle that completely saps your physical strength within seconds

🪶 he will press his fingertips firmly into your skin and vibrate his hands at maximum speed, creating a constant, intense buzz of ticklish energy that makes you squirm wildly

🪶 he will lock you in a crushing, affectionate hug from behind, leaving your hands completely pinned while his fingers freely scribble and dig into your exposed stomach and ribs

🪶 Jungkook focuses his immense hand strength on the softest parts of your sides, digging his thumbs right into your waistline to guarantee an instant, explosive reaction 🤭

🪶 if you try to raise your arms to block his face or push him away, he will immediately seize the opportunity to launch a fast tickle attack right under your arms

🪶 because he can easily hold your legs still, he loves to use his fingernails to scratch quick, sharp lines down the arches of your bare feet, watching you kick out helplessly

if there were to be another member that doesn't mind the tickling, my best bet would be taehyung. he tickles his group mates fairly enough that makes me wonder if he does it to be tickled back as well. he gets super giggly and that smile often stays on his face after the fact. he doesn't smack the person, he simply covers his sensitive spots. and i know i said that a smile often stays on tae's face, but i think he also appears to get slightly pouty when tickled! this could be due to the fact that he doesn't like it, or he could be like some of us—we pout when tickled because we're shy and embarrassed about getting what we secretly want 🫣

as for jungkook being 3, jimin being 4, and hobi being 5, i mentioned that those rankings switch around from time to time due to several factors. for example, i would put jungkook at 3 because similarly to taehyung and seokjin, he squirms A LOT when tickled and his giggles spill out like crazy. there are several jungkook t-word moments out there as well.

however, sometimes i would put jimin at 3 because of his evident sensitivity. as i've mentioned a bunch, i believe jimin hates being tickled and i think it may have a lot to do with the fact that he's so sensitive. all of us in this community enjoy being tickled but for a lot of us, there are spots that are off limits because they are too much. for example, i tap out when my feet are touched because i'm just too sensitive there; the ticklish sensation isn't exactly enjoyable for me anymore, it's overwhelming. i think for jimin, a lot of spots are too much/too ticklish.

when it comes to hobi sometimes being put at 3, it's once again similar to taehyung, seokjin, and jungkook. he's a HUGE squirmer and his laughs are even more uncontrolled!!

i would put yoongi and namjoon last because there aren't many clips to work with. similar to my reasonings with taehyung and seokjin, there probably aren't that many clips of them being tickled out there because the boys don't feel inspired to tickle them. when there is little reaction to the tickles, it's not entertaining! i did put yoongi before namjoon because of that notorious clip of him in the blue sweater in which namjoon tickles him 😭 yoongi definitely worked to defend his armpits, but he was able to keep himself from laughing (as required by the run bts task he was given lol) and he wasn't flopping around.
