Lee

• I believe he is a ler-leaner, so he isn't very often tickled himself. But when he is, he doesn't make it easy. Constantly trying to squirm away, pushing at the ler, anything that he can do he will.

• Though he won't admit it, he does find tickling to be a pleasant stress reliever at times. Just getting to loose yourself in laughter without a care in the world? A tempting offer...

• Will go a little pink in the face when he gets flustered, since red wouldn't exactly be noticeable. And where's the fun in that?

• Gets called things like "Giggleberry" and even "Raspberry" on occasion by certain lers, up to who you think might just do that.. He HATES it (or does he...)

• Stupidly ticklish knees, no explanation for this one. (Might be projecting, but you'll NEVER know) Someone pokes or runs a finger over his knee? Jolting away like he got electrocuted. Placing a hand on it or just any other faint contact? Panicking while keeping the straightest face he can.

Ler

• Sometimes toons will sneak a few treats when he isn't looking whenever he bakes, becomes an absolute tickle monster and hunts them down. No one steals from him and gets out unscathed (/silly)

• Has some pretty good arm strength, this being from baking and overtime just having that muscle that makes it easier. No fr baking can be a workout sometimes. But yeah, his tickling stays strong and consistent throughout the time he is tickling his lee, but also not too rough depending on who it is.

• Absolutely evil and smug about it. "Oho, looks like I'm gonna have to mix in this ingredient extra well!" type of teases as he drills his hands into their lee's stomach, moving them around like an automatic mixer in a bowl. Also stuff like "Finally caught ya, you little treat thief. I bet the tickle monster will teach you a lesson on stealing."

• Will knead and squeeze his lees like one does when making dough in baking, his own evil little tactic

Lee

• While she isn't a physical being or any solid matter, just fazing a hand through her has this sort of tingly effect on her that is like a tickle. And just wiggling your fingers over her like that can drive her crazy!

• Despite being able to easily get away from whoever is tickling her, she oddly stays put for at least some portion of it. If asked she will say that she was just caught off guard and couldn't think to move, but really... I think we know why.

• A teasing, cheeky ler, but flustered and panicked lee. Acts like all that until she gets the flip on it, sometimes from provoking, sometimes naturally. Either way all her confidence goes crashing and crumbling down.

• If it's really windy or a gust of wind brushes past her, i'd imagine instead of a shiver from the cold (which she can't feel the difference from) she would get a kind of sudden tickle from it. Tensing up with a yelp and just hoping noone saw that.

• The main people who do end up tickling her are Brightney, Gigi, and Flutter. Those being some of the only people who know how to really get her. Flutter usually can just flap her wing over Connie for a fun reaction, and Gigi has some playful back and forths with her too. Brightney usually is a softer approach than Gigi.

• Pretty ticklish everywhere, her sides especially drive her crazy. Just the feeling of being tickled from two points so close together gets her to a mess as she covers her face with her hat (visor?) and giggles herself to pieces.

• Her laughter has this kind of fade in with each little part to it, like it starts off quiet and then escalates to a lucid roar of a laugh. It sometimes sounds like multiple laughs together, like multiple spirits, and it has a very ghostly feel to it as she is a ghost. I also like to think she can start cackling once tickled long enough in the right spots. She gets hella embarrassed by it.

Ler

• Sly grins and sneaky moves, she goes all out evil as a ler(/silly). Being a ghost means she has her various little abilities like going through walls and invisibility to even just being able to float, and she definitely loves using these to her advantage.

• Turning invisible and sneaking behind her lee before striking, going over their head out of sight before throwing out a surprise attack. Even just her ghosty light blue hands have this phantom tickle effect that drives every lee crazy! And she absolutely eats this up.

• At the end of the day, she never goes too overboard with her tickling. She loves the quick sneaky slips in of a surprise tickle! Usually going off giggling herself after a second or two. Short and sweet.

• I think it would be cool if she could possess objects, like a feather, and use that to her advantage as she lacks much of a physical being really.

• Loves to go after Gigi as a big target, mostly for their back and forths and all. Looey and flutter she likes to tickle for her own little fun and teasing. She is far too skittish to try to tickle Brightney- Poor girl loses every bit of confidence and mischief in an instant.

Lee:

• All his spots are crazily different in terms of how ticklish they are. Cus like you could go for his sides and he barely feels it, but then watch as he looses his shit as you move to his stomach. It's kinda funny how quickly things can switch up.

• On that topic, his worst spots in my opinion are his stomach and ribs. While places like his sides or underarms don't really do anything for him.

• When being tickled, he usually has softer more hushed laughs, mainly because he tries to hold them in. They can be louder depending on where you're tickling him and such.

• Prefers softer tickles or just nothing too overwhelming, but with friends he isn't against anything playful or teasing.

• The swirls on the sides of his head are a little ticklish, kinda like his equivalent to ticklish ears in a way! Will scrunch his shoulders up and just melt as giggles pour out of him, survival instincts of a rock I swear (/silly)

• Blushes pretty easy, especially to teases. Poor guy can't handle the little butterflies that grow in his stomach at the slightest teases 💔

Ler:

• Usually doesn't tickle people very often, just because those kinds of moments don't pop up as much. But when he is tickling someone, likes to keep things soft and fun!

• Speaking of which, he definitely is good with his hands because of all the baking he does, kneading his hands carefully, yet still surprisingly firmly into his lee's sides like dough.

• Even with how soft he is to most people, he definitely is a mean/menace of a ler with Sprout (as he is to him too, ofc). This guy pulls out all the cards you'd think he wouldn't, the teasing, playful tickles, the smug look he gets. He gets EVIL 🙏 But then again, that is his best buddy, so what did we expect? And yes, they definitely get into tickle fights all the time, especially so when they were younger.

• Likes poking at his lee's like he's adjusting/putting sprinkles on a dessert, definitely a lot of baking equivalent moves like that and the dough kneading. Puts all his fingers together (kinda like this 🤌) and pretends it's a wisk as he swirls his "wisk" around and around their tummy like he's mixing up batter

• If there's every someone else helping him out baking in the kitchen and they seem nervous about messing up or anything, he likes to give them a little tickle to cheer them up and kinda reassure them. Because of course any help is appreciated, and it's never a good time when you're stressing too much to enjoy it!

Lee

• Is the QUEEN of playing off how she really feels about it, acting all too cool for it or just nonchalantly about it, not wanting to draw attention to herself in the topic. But in reality she is hella ticklish and hella touch starved with it 💔

• Her main way of expressing any lee related wants or thoughts is drawing tickle art of herself, some of the only times she will use pencil and do little doodle pages purely for drawing herself tickled. A lot of these pages are later crumpled from the mass embarrassment she gets from it. But some can be found untouched..

• Her voice is usually fairly calm or just always taken with a control of it, even when she laughs she trys to keep it lowkey. But when she's tickled, her laugh becomes more high pitched and uncontrolled, and overall it's just a whole lot more expressive than what she lets herself be. To which she gets very embarrassed about.

•Very light feather sensitive, specifically if you were to ever use a brush's bristles to even just lightly stroke over her neck for just a moment, she will be wiping her head around with wide eyes and already losing her shit/silly

• Will be taken a little off guard by teases, but usually tries to act tougher against it even as she's melting underneath that playful demeanor.

• Only really enjoys when people she is close to tickles her and to only tickle those close people. Personally I headcanon that some of these people are Shelly, Vee, Scraps (they have an artist to artist rivalry but also are close in the way they still like to help each other with their art genuinely), and Tisha (to a point, they are still rough but try to take things slow and more gentle approaches).

Ler

• As a painter, she has learned how to control pressure to a skill that is fairly noticeable away from the canvas, her hands can knead things pretty efficiently from so much pressure practice with which brush strokes she would need for a painting.

• To this, if someone ever finds themself with Brusha tickling them, the tickling would be a firm and present feeling that is so vivid you can't escape from it. It's still gentle and will never hurt you, but will definitely tickle to hell and back based on how ticklish they are there.

• Likes to drag a clean brush along the back or back of her lee's neck and pretend she is painting a portrait and telling them to stop moving while she finishes it up.

• I think she'd be pretty good at face painting, and some lee's who have ticklish faces will always get a little snicker out of the paintbrush as she continues the face painting with a light "Just hold off on the squirming for a second, i'm almost done~"

• Not the most teasing to most, but likes to give little quips in between to keep things light and fun. Throwing in a small "Gosh, you're turning brighter than magenta!" or chuckle in with a "You sure you're fine? Starting to look more ruffled than some of my old brushes now.." as the lee is huffing and giggling themself silly.

Lee

• I feel like our little inky fella would be stupidly ticklish, much to his horror and his other troupe members delight. The true lee of their trio, constantly targeted by Yatta, Looey joining or starting it up himself sometimes too.

• Though his speech all comes out backwards, when laughing, it actually sounds fairly similar to if unflipped! A little weird tone-wise, which is a little embarrassing for him 😭. I think his laugh would start quiet but grow louder based on where they are tickling him and for how long.

• Will sometimes get so flustered and giggly that he just starts sputtering gibberish, not even Yatta or Looey can keep up with it both backwards and nonsensical!

• Generally ticklish all over, but especially so on his sides and hands. Why? Not a clue 🤷 just go with it ig

Ler

• Not much of a verbal due to communication being a difficult thing, but loves to hover his hands over their spots or just wiggle them near them, really good at it too cus of all that miming he does.

• Oh, but with his other two circus buddies? Absolutely evil. Teases the everloving ichor outta those two, who are used to his backwards talk to the point in which they can understand even when laughing their heads off. They bring out the worse (/silly) in him.

• Giggles evily while tickling colorful duo, less evil if it's someone else. He is a soft ler, if you're not a certain two... But jokes aside he loves to tickle people to get smiles on their faces, it's like their job to make sure everyone is happy! Or at least to them it is, their personal pride and joy...

• Their trinket has a little brush, which he loves to use when tickling his lees, gently brushing it up their sides or circling their belly, telling them to stay still so he can finish what he is drawing/writing. Which is most of the time just scribbles in disguise.

Lee

• Not very ticklish due to how she is a TV or robotish in a sense. Differing from her fellow toons in the sense that their fleshy beings are instead cold hard metal and such. But don't be mistaken, she still can get gotten pretty good if you know what you're doing.

• Although, I don't think she is completely unphased by it. A few spots are still left vulnerable for a little tickling propaganda.

• I think her elbows, knees, and maybe even underarms might be ticklish areas due to there being joints there that aren't as protected as the rest of her arms/legs, so you could certainly get a reaction from this outdated tech!

• I also think her antennas and mic tail are pretty ticklish, just for fun on this one. I like to imagine her antennas also twitch or just generally move and react with her, like sometimes they do this funny thing where they shoot straight up in an almost cartoonish way.

• She doesn't get very embarrassed by teases, more of the feeling of tickling that she isn't used to will be the main factor of any kind of flustered responses and such.

• You know when you accidentally shock someone a little? Whenever that happens, it's like a tickly shock more than anything. It kind of replaces what other toons would be slightly pained by, while the shock only tickles for Vee. It is always so sudden she doesn't even see it coming 😭

Ler

• An absolute menace, teases the crap out of her lees.. Likes to use her "game-show-host" voice and making up tickle related questions to embarrass the lee. Something like "For our first question, let's find out which spot is the most ticklish! Is it spot A, spot B, orrrr spot C?? Oh, it seems we have a winner!" and then proceeds to go crazy on that spot

• Her tail will brush up against the lee while she is tickling them just to add on the situation, and trust me. That thing can be EVIL. Will wrap around your waist and start swishing up and down your stomach before you can even realise it. Spooky stuff (/silly)

• Can't really do raspberries, but she has a different trick up her sleeve.. She can send little ticklish shocks through her finger tips at will, a really dirty trick but she loves how it drives her lee crazy in a storm of giggles (she can't take what she dishes out but shhhh-)

• I think she is a lean to ler more than lee because she is pretty sneaky and can usually turn things around onto the other pretty smoothly. Has a kind of charm that leaves the soon to be lee off guard and suddenly the tables have turned terribly on them.

Lee

• Takes to be a fairly mysterious man, or to how he hopes to come off as. He has a sort of reputation for being always looking into things and is rather uptight to a fault from this. Tickling is a thing that he never thought to involve himself in.

• Though in more recent times, he's found himself being thrown into a few tickly situations... Wether that's a light brush to the side or a little poke or two. Always straightening up a bit more and keeping alert after the unexpected actions.

• Glisten will do this thing, sliding beside the magnifying glass as his hand goes to gently squeeze to his side as he says "Oh, lighten up, won't you!"

• Not too ticklish, a fairly regular ticklishness if not a little lower than so. And while not the most tickle involved guy, he sometimes will let it slide with those he is closer to.

• A certain spot that is more sensitive I would are his shoulders, which are usually a lot more tense than not. He can barely take massages there, even if he is grateful for the thought behind it, good god does it tickle to go through. All he can do is stay perfectly still and cover up any loose laughs with a cough or clearing of his throat.

• Another spot i'd say would be his handle, not as much as his shoulders, but gets a laugh out of him easier. It's a more easily targetable spot, as it has easy access. You can really get him to start breaking once you focus on it!

Ler

• Again, doesn't get into many tickle related things, but sometimes with people he is close to... For one there is Toodles, who he sees as a daughter to him and will sometimes tickle her a little to tire her out for bed or just to have a little fun with the sweet girl.

• Another person he seems to target more regularly is the previously mentioned Glisten, who will sometimes get a quick brush of a finger down his spine as Rodger walks by or a slight stroke over his torso as he "accidentally" bumps into him.

• He can not tease like a normal person. And the way he does it is in a way where he thinks he sounds so cool or smart saying it. Like "Hm.., it seems i've gotten a new find on this giggly case." and the lee doesn't know wether to be embarrassed or laugh more because it's so stupid it's funny.

• Never goes too far with tickling, or for long, if it even escalates that far. It's usually only for a short moment as he doesn't really want to go on too much. And usually he is very discreet with his attempts or small actions of it.

• As someone who very often looks into little details and observations, he can easily tell where a lee is more or less ticklish from just the slightest reactions, and has the best memory of them. So be careful with him, because he might know where you're most ticklish more than you do yourself!/silly

Lee

• Has a soft modest laugh when tickled, she isn't very ticklish in my eyes but she still gets a nice laugh from it. And she doesn't mind a little fun once in a while! Never hurt to find a few tickles after tea.

• Her neck is a pretty ticklish spot from all that time of having her boa always against it, developing a slight sensitivity over time that though is slightly embarrassing, is also another reason she keeps wearing it to kind of cover it up.

• I saw a headcanon that when you stir the tea in her head it tickles her, and I think that's really cute! Stirring sweet tea and earning sweet giggles 🫶

• On another note, I think it would be a given to headcanon her cup handle to be at least a bit ticklish, and whenever it is tickled it certainly surprises our dear teacup for at least the first moments of contact.

• Overall, I don't personally see her as much of a lee, but I do think it is just really sweet how she is depicted when as one! I do also just generally that I find her character to be so mesmerizing in a way.

Ler

• Very gentle and soft with whoever she tickles, it's always just a light sensation of her hands kneading to the lee's sides or stomach as she softly comments about the lee's reactions

• Is definitely a complimenter, going off like "Oh, your laugh is sweeter than sugar!" with a smile as she continues to lightly wreck the lee. Also likes to call her lees "Sugar", or "Dear". She just seems like the type to do that.

• Aftercare with her is just a casual tea party really- like suddenly you find yourself being gently dragged along and sat in a chair as she is pouring her own cup of tea and saying "Do you prefer Black or Herbal tea, Dear?"
