#tk talk

First of all, if you’re taking this stance you’re downright wrong. It would not exist to this capacity if it was inherently an arousal based act. There will always be more information proving that you are wrong than there will be proving you’re right.

Second of all, you are really weird for assuming or flat out telling someone over the internet, a complete stranger, what they are into. It’s highly inappropriate (and low-key kind of creepy?) to go around guessing things about others’ intimate thoughts. (Also I see you people saying ‘it’s just a bunch of minors who haven’t blossomed into their kinks yet) and to that… I raise to you that you are disgusting for even going there and thinking about underaged people like that.

(Also, even if this IS the case for some… okay? And? It is still not proving your point the way you want it to and they are still not disgusting for how they processed their self discovery as long as they did it humanely and without harm. I’d also like to point out as someone with OCD and autism that this kind of stigma is VERY dangerous for people with ego dystonic disorders. Calling people predators, deviants, etc. over something harmless like this is an extremely weighted thing to say and can cost someone their mental health, or even their life in some extreme cases.)

Also once again we love our daily dose of aero/acespec/sex repulsed erasure because clearly you did not think about them in this equation, as always.

Thirdly, involving irl and fandom based work… have you considered how this works with platonic relationships? Familial connections? Let’s not forget this, for most, stemmed from childhood and never developed into anything more than an act of bonding. Are people in the community who express their love to their friends and family in this manner displaying misconduct in your eyes?

The entire argument is not structurally sound on any level and does not appeal to either side of the community. It is solely based on assumptions and stereotypes. I’m all for disputing those who very clearly have the kink and are hiding behind a sfw front for whatever reason, but putting others into a box over their coping mechanisms and bonding practices, no matter how unusual they may be to you, quite literally proves why so many in this community feel the need to be so discreet and careful with their feelings towards something extremely harmless and scientifically proven to be a part of our playful genetic coding as a species.

Please educate yourself and be kind. It’s already intimate and complicated, but just because it’s hard to explain doesn’t mean we get to ignore literally every context clue regarding such and slap a misinformed label on it.

That being said, ily normal nsfw community I will never bash on you even if I do not share the same sentiment.

Take care and stay nuanced!

I steal you from your boring office job

I tie you up

I unbutton your shirt

I tickle your nipples very gently, with excruciatingly-soft things, for however long it takes until you deliriously plead for mercy

*takes a deep breath*

Pomni and gangle are the lees of the circus and no one can tell me otherwise

Normally i draw stuff upon prompting but I have very little experience in drawing tadc characters so all I'll say is

🕰

Sometimes, I will hc characters with low sensitivity/minimal reactions. I feel like this community will prioritize certain characters and therefore headcanon them with extreme, reactive ticklishness. Characters that headcanoners like less may get a less reactive touch or be ‘ler leaning.’ This trope is not harmful inherently, and it’s not at all mean or bad! However… how does that translate to real life? How do those with unique ticklishness see themselves? What of those who aren’t very ticklish, or only are in a few places? What about those who need to be tickled very roughly to laugh? Or even those whose ticklishnesses will fade after only a moment of repetitive touch? Those who need to push their laugh to make the situation seem more natural? Even those who may not even know if they’re ticklish anymore because it’s been so long?

It is okay to be this way. Sensitivity shouldn’t inherently impact the charm of a lee, nor should anyone be stereotyped or put into categories the way fictional characters are. And furthermore, it’s okay and even special to headcanon favorite/popular characters with unique ticklishness! Your favorites don’t always need to be hypersensitive and reactive to be adorable. Because, once again, sensitivity ≠ how much anyone deserves. Your interests, real reactions, real laugh, genuine enjoyment and other aspects of tickling are very important.

So like. I have seen tons of posts from -lees talking about how much they loooooooooooooove can’t stand being tickled while high. How it amplifies the sensations and the anticipation (these are some of my favorite text posts btw, thanks y’all ❤️‍🔥)

But what about…a high -ler ??? Because literally, when I /partake/, some switch flips in my brain and I want to just. Tickle. Slowly. And methodically. ForEVER!!!! Like I have the patience of a saint, and I want to use it to pull apart someone bit by bit.

Imagine your -Ler is just…wordlessly enraptured by you. Absolutely visibly hot beneath the collar, feral to see you looking so deliciously ticklish and vulnerable. And they are determined to find all of your spots, every single last little one, and give them every little bit of love and worship and attention they deserve. Every. Last. One.

It could go on for sooooooo very long ~ because your -Ler cannot get enough of your breathless laughter, your weak, unconvincing pleas for mercy falling on deaf ears as they tickle and tickle and tickle, giggling when you do and utterly delighting in every ticklish~ squeal.
