Cater: soo close to being canonically bi. Like right there you can reach out and grab it. Did you see him smack/grab(?) Trey's ass during blazing jewel?

Azul: Disney and Yana i will never forgive you. "Let's take Ursula but remove the drag queen inspo and give her an eating disorder!!" Regardless, Azul (and tweels) have to physically transition from mer to human and take regular potions for it. There's parallels there that is all I will say. I think Azul is gay. I cannot see him liking women at all. Feminine men, yes. Not women. Does not like the mammal breast thing.

Vil: I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Nick, Vil's English VA. He loves Vil so much and they have such similar stories 🥹 I find it very interesting the anime specifically was looking for a queer actor to play him in the English version.. Vil is another character to not care for gender norms. I love his views and statements he has made on the topic throughout the game. He dosen't want to be held down by lables, therefore I will not give him one. Vil is Vil!

Rook: genderflux pan hypersexual pervert. I love him so much. He loves everyone so much.

Idia: transgender. boy why you so trans? Have you seen his dysphoria hoodie it is twice his size. His posture is not just from gaming that is the ftm slouch. Little idia was the definition of "man i wish I could be a yaoi boy" Also autistic. I did a school paper on the science of the link between gender and autism. Very neat stuff.

Lilia: CANON BI AND POLY👏👏👏 + Adopted a kid + dosen't care about gender norms. Crazy work for former General of the Right.

C: Chase | What are their chances in a chase, both as a lee and ler?

Ler: thinking of all these twst lers chasing people is scary. Ruggie included. He's got hella stamina and can fit in tight spaces.

Lee: Aladdin chase scene. He's only getting caught if he wants to be caught. (He gets caught a lot.) but he likes making the lers work for it!

D: Death Spot | What is their most ticklish spot?

The bottom of his spine righttt at the base of his tail. So many nerve endings the poor guy.

Flops onto Jamil's lap. Bites at his thigh to get his attention. Jamil goes "???" until that dang tail starts wagging and he understands what Ruggie wants. Even stroking the area with one finger gets him squealing. (Add this to the fic too ✍️)

K: Killer Move | As a ler, do they have special skills to use against their lees and drive them crazy with?

Mfs when they name their UM "Laugh With Me!" you will laugh with him. My hc for him in my tickle UMs post can also just work in canon. You copy him -> he tickles himself -> you tickle yourself -> works on you and not him -> you laugh from the sensations while he laughs at you

T: Teasing | Their most favorite methods of teasing their lee/ler?

"Why are you laughing?" "Why are you tickling yourself?" "Whats got you so worked up?" "Stop? Stop what?" Hes so annoying omg. It's the worst.

U: Unusual | Do they have some unusual tickle spots? Where?

Ruggie - It would be really funny doing eye fixation inductions with him. Classic following on a coin on a string he would be so locked in. He's so cute!! He would squirm and swat at the sensations but nothing makes them go away. (He likes it.) Giggles giggles giggles hes so cute. Also giving beastmen scent suggestions, they smell something sweet and it makes them laugh more!! Currently working on a fic with him and Jamil again 👀

Vil - Rook taking Vil down in trance, making him super super sensitive, then bringing him up and giving him a makeover! Vil Cannot stop twitching and giggling from the makeup brushes. Cannot sit still through a mani-pedi. Rook is just swimming in all his sounds and movements + he gets to touch all over that beautiful body! Hypnofreak Rook fans where are we?

Kalim - kaLEEm strikes again. He loves being tickled he does not care how. Finds realistic hypnosis fascinating. And then he laughs himself silly. He likes having his head empty to just fully enjoy it without feeling homesick.

Idia - this dude. shaking my head. listens to hypno tickle files (which i recently learned were a thing.) wants them to work sooo bad but he can only ever get a few pity giggles out of it. Inventor extraordinaire. Makes his own tickle machines, visors, programs, etc. He's such a looser. Just like me fr.

Ace - tsk tsk tsk ☝️ my guy loves to deny. "No, I'm not ticklish!" "(real)hypnosis? what a bunch of hoopla!" Confident FOOL! No one is falling for it bro 😭 Even an inexperienced hypnotist like Deuce could get him under. Everyone makes fun of him for weeeks after.

C: Chase | What are their chances in a chase, both as a lee and ler?

Ler: He's fast and he's agile. Good luck.

Lee: still fast and agile, but so is the basketball team + ruggie. Will use magic to defend himself.

D: Death Spot | What is their most ticklish spot?

His armpits take him out. All his sleeveless outfits make me want to pounce. They're right there!!! He would slam his arms down as a reflex but that just traps the lers hands in there. His basketball teammates are MENACES with this information.

I also hc that ruggie is a big sniffer and he just loves Jamil's scent so much, he wants to get it right from the source. Jamil will push his head out of his pit and call him a pervert, trying to hide how ticklish it is. Once rug bug finds this out, he does it more often on purpose. Sniffing up there while he tickles Jamil's sides with his fingers. (Turn this into a fic later ✍️)

K: Killer Move | As a ler, do they have special skills to use against their lees and drive them crazy with?

this was so fun to think about. I can see him stradling and trapping a lee between his legs while going to town on their lower back

With Ruggie, pulling at his tail/ears to suprise him and then peppering his neck with kisses

T: Teasing | Their most favorite methods of teasing their lee/ler?

I don't see him as a big talker. He's very focused and dedicated to the craft. Will tease ruggie about how much he likes it to get him all flustered.

U: Unusual | Do they have some unusual tickle spots? Where?

Jamil's UM is the fantasy kind: it works on unwilling subjects, he has complete control over the subjects mind and body, subject loses all agency, it's immediately triggered by eye contact, glowing red eyes, etc.

Onto your ask!

Yes! Hypnosis (both real and fantasy) can be used to create imaginary sensations with the subject. You could have them experience temperatures, tastes, sounds, physical stimuli (like tickling,) and much more! You can also do fun things like restraining, increasing sensitivity, and removing inhibitions to let someone laugh freely.

So I think you're asking who is most susceptible to hypnosis, which can then turn into tickling after?? I hope??

Jamil is one of the most powerful mages in the entire school. Everyone is susceptible to his UM. The only work around is counter spells (like Floyd's UM) and not making eye contact with him at all. So I am going to switch over to who might be susceptible to the real kind.

Again, real hypnosis is just guiding the natural trance states we all enter every day. All of these characters experience trance, this is just who would be susceptible to techniques to control/forcefully enter it. This can also depend on their level of trust with the hypnotist and the method of induction used.

Riddle - I feel like a structured or confusion induction would drop him so fast. Give him a bunch of rules on breathing, focusing, etc. He'll follow them so well he won't even realize anything is happening. He would really benefit from hypnotherapy for his OCD. He'd have trouble getting his thoughts to shut up completely, but it would definitely help.

Jack - the only mental wall this guy has up is "i have to look cool" and he can barely keep it up even when he's fully awake. He also is not very well aware of his body most of the time (ex noticing his tail is wagging.) One hand drop induction and he's toast. Very easy to trigger train.

Kalim - He was already very susceptible to the fantasy kind. While some other characters showed resistance when faced with Jamil's UM, Kalim went under instantly. (However this could also be a factor of conditoning or subjects magic level.) Super prone to the real kind too tho. Show him something shiny and tell him he's gradually relaxing and he will agree with you till the cows come home.

Idia - loves it. has a hypnosis blog, listens to hypnosis files, enthusiastically gives in. we already know he overthinks and turns to escapism, whats better than relaxing and letting go of those annoying thoughts for a little bit? And sometimes he likes the freaky kind too
