99% ler 1% lee

As a ler:

-definitely the type of ler to absolutely wreck a lee all while keeping a straight face

-more so uses it as a way to punish his more rowdy students (do I even need to name them lol)

-or he uses it as a part of resistance training

-everyone learned that waking up Aizawa when he’s napping = getting absolutely wrecked.

As a lee:

-gets grumpy when tickled

-weak spot is his armpits

-claims to not be ticklish but a certain someone figured out that was a lie

-Present Mic has never let him forget about it

First HC of 2026!

Teen Pauline // Mayor Pauline

Ticklishness Rating: 9/10 // 7/10

Most Ticklish Spots: Arches, Sides/Waist

Total tomboy. // Career and personal growth have made her more elegant and feminine, but can be more fun than she appears.

Loves going barefoot, and loves being tickled! (At least when DK & his buddies do it.) // Now prefers to keep her feet covered, and isn’t crazy about getting them touched.

Her favorites are feather tickles, raspberries, and getting poked between her wiggly toes. // Well…she’s unbothered by neck touches, at least.

Screams and jumps and bounces around like she chugged 6 pots of coffee. // Tends to flinch and shy away when one of her sensitive spots is probed.

Gets pedicures because they tickle! 😁 // Avoids pedicures, because they tickle. 😖

Tickles Donkey Kong (and her other friends) every chance she gets! // Not as physically affectionate as her childhood self, but has fond memories of her tickle fights with DK, and sometimes she just can’t resist a sneaky scratch on the big ape’s neck.

Donkey Kong

Ticklishness Rating: 6/10

Most Ticklish Spots: Armpits, Ribs, Neck

Not the biggest fan of being tickled, but he tolerates it just fine and enjoys the bonding.

Surprisingly quiet. Lots of “hee-hee-hee” Scooby-Doo chortles through clenched teeth.

Gleefully wobbles around and has a hard time keeping balance when tickled. He’s bouncy.

Adores Pauline and will do anything for her. When he noticed how much she loves tickling him, he started intentionally leaving himself open. Soon, their horseplay fights were legendary.

Long, wavy fur on his shoulders & back has been known to make Pauline giggle when she stands on him. Which they both enjoy.

Flash-forward: 20 years later, after Pauline has grown up, he’s not as ticklish as he was, and they don't roughhouse anymore. But he’ll always indulge his little girl. <3

Poppy Kong

Ticklishness Rating: 8/10

Most Ticklish Spots: Tummy, Armpits

CV: Highly-experienced Director of Intelligence, proficient in industrial espionage, spycraft, interrogation, and kidnapping.

While in VoidCo's employ, sometimes utilized cruel tickle torture to gather information. She took no pleasure in this...it was her job.

Intelligent, observant, good with her hands. Sharp fingers. A skilled & dangerous tickler.

Sensory-avoidant. For all her hoity-toity corporate-chic cool, Poppy's composure snaps as soon as she's touched. Disgusted by close contact.

Most similar genetically to a lutung or colobus...but when she starts laughing, one might easily mistake her for a howler monkey.

Panics when threatened and usually sprays herself with Inviseaux perfume to disappear.

Also known as "K*nty Kong."

Tiny Kong

Ticklishness Rating: 8.5/10

Most Ticklish Spots: Belly Button, Ribs, Tops of Feet

The most mischievous rascal of the Kong Kids. Often uses tickling in battle or to cheat at games. They don’t call her “Tiny the Tickler” for nothing!*

Came by these habits via her older sister. Dixie used to tickle her all the time, and Tiny quickly developed positive associations.

Diabolical arsenal of attacks that appear specifically catered to this activity. Prehensile Pony Tail Twirl, her Mini-Monkey shrinking ability, her supply of feather arrows for her crossbow...all useful.

Famously tried to tickle K. Rool’s toes during a boss fight, but wound up hurting him instead.

Very squeaky. Sounds similar to a chew toy.

*They do not in fact call her that. I made it up. (But for real, everyone knows that she's a huge ler.)

Unrelated note: that Candy poster in the Bananza DLC is a masterclass on how minute details can drastically alter a character’s appearance. The smaller mouth, the higher upturned nose, the looser-fit clothing, the more-even bangs… superficially, Candy retains the exact same design she had in DK64, but with just the most subtle of tweaks, she now looks like the kids’ cool older sister instead of some horrifying monkey prostitute. I no longer want to puke just from looking at her!

Candy Kong

Ticklishness Rating: 7/10

Most Ticklish Spots: Armpits, Knees, Ankles

Often squeezes her nails under DK’s arms to wake him up when he won’t get out of bed.

Formed an immediate bond with Pauline over their shared love of music, and the two have frequent jam sessions. Plus...

...she knows how ticklish Pauline is and adores teasing & playing with her little human bandmate. She’ll pinch Pauline’s sides, drag scratchy fingers down her back, or grab her foot whenever the mood strikes. (She also does the same to Tiny.)

Even just wiggling her fingers in Pauline’s direction will make the human girl giggle and run for cover, so sometimes Candy has to chase her. >:) It’s very warm & affectionate.

Strangely, most of the time, Pauline doesn’t get her back.

Playful fights are ok, but no touching Candy’s armpits; she doesn’t like that.

Other Kong Family Fun Facts

Yes, they groom each other’s fur. They’re sapient, but they’re still monkeys. And yes, it’s often a very tickly process.

It’s difficult to tell if Funky is ticklish or not; he’s too chill and laid-back (and, possibly, too baked out of his gourd) to have much of a reaction to anything. He doesn’t seem to mind it either way.

Diddy and Dixie may be a couple, but when it comes to tickles, they act more like bickering siblings. Diddy is the weaker of the two.

Cranky's not ticklish himself (too old) and doesn't usually partake in such silly nonsense. But he's got a secret soft side and always enjoyed playing the Tickle Monster for the young'uns. :)

With stretchy noodle arms and long fingers, Lanky could be the world’s greatest ler. But he usually prefers to make the kids laugh with funny faces, sound effects, or deviantArt-ing.

Chunky feels nothing. Because he is dead. (r/deadmemes)

๑⋅⋯Sonic & Shadow Tkl Hcs⋯⋅๑

~YES, my boysss 💖 I'm more than happy to get some Hcs out here for you! I tried to keep these from getting too ramble-y, and I think I accomplished that. I hope you Enjoy!~

gasharpoon (favorite hubby/f/o (sorry chance and mafioso)) 

this is from my tk/yumeship au so some details about him will be different 

i portray him to be 65% ler, 35% lee !!

gasharpoon ler hcs:

he will 100% trap the lee in a corner

uses his harpoon to his advantage, using it to pin you between him and a wall, his harpoon blocking your escape

he doesn’t immediately go for the kill if he doesn’t know where your tk spots are, yet. he simply just tests the water by scrubbing and squeezing spots

his hand is SO cold. extremely cold. he will make excuses such as “whaat~? i’m just trying to warm my hand up~.” as he tks you

once he finds the spot that gets you cackling, he will STAY on that spot until you’re breathless, cackling, and screaming

very very teasing, draws out his teases

"tiiiiickle, tickle, tickle~…”

“ohhh, don’t tell me you’re ticklish~…”

“that [insert most tkish spot] is mine~!”

“thaaaat’s it~… just laugh for me~.”

favorite spot? the spots that get you cackling.

loves tracing a finger around the navel (definitely not projecting or anything ///////)

LOVES tk nibbles, LOVES THEM. will usually use them on the tummy, sides, ribs, or neck

raspberries are also a big one… loves loves loves raspberries, especially on the tummy

my hubby’s teasy as hell dude ///////

gasharpoon lee hcs !!

he is not used to affection at all

if you say “i’m going to tickle you” he will not know how to act and just freeze up especially if it’s oak (<<<< shameless self insert)

his tk spots are his neck, chin, back/spine, tummy, and navel

has such beautiful, high-pitched laughter 

has adorable girlish squeals <3

his neck is very weak to raspberries, along with his belly 

poking at his abs will cause him to giggle and jolt 

he HATES when he is cooed to about being “cute” or “ticklish” and yells “cut it out!” a lot… though, he never explicitly stops you~…

oh, but expect him to get you back 10x worse once you finish~…

gasharpoon tk au design !!

his harpoon is a prosthetic and can be replaced with a prosthetic arm !!

he will ask you to help him out with it (he can easily do it himself btw) just to tease you even further so you know you’re dead /silly

his finger pads have soft, fluffy pads to tk further

he has sharklike teeth, the better to nibble at tk spots :3

Ruggie who's ears wiggle, tail wags, feet stomp, scrunches his shoulders up, makes small yip like laughs when he's getting chin scratches because it tickles so much.
