It really is crazy how if you mention you write fanfiction with people outside fandom, they're always like "you should change the names and try to sell it." It misses the point (fun), but more importantly to me, I get slightly (and I know irrationally) insulted on a craft level. Excuse me, my fanfic is entwined with the canon, thank you very much. I wish sometimes less entwined. You wouldn't believe the stupid bullshit some of my fics have to include because of canon.

Just a totally normal interrogation

TICKLE INTERROGATION TROPE

[amazingmsme]

Creepy Guy to look out for in the tickle community

I'm 23. He's 39. I set boundaries with him and this is how he reacts

He's also got a bunch of right wing bullshit on his account

Look out for and probably block this guy.

Stay safe, especially young people out there.

not looking to pick fights so I'm not rb-ing but it's not parasocial to interact with an ao3 author and to respond to what they say in author notes or comments, that's just being social

ao3 authors aren't content creators, that's a real person sans public persona just sharing a cool thing they made

The vibe for 2025

Tbh Im always kinda taken aback by the amount of genuine bile people have for unskilled or amateurish art. I think it's truly rare that something is bad enough to deserve scorn. In my mind that requires a hostile mean-spiritedness. It's too easy to find interesting things in poorly made art.

Here, have some ribbun 🫴

We're starting with some cute tickling moment. Tears of laughter were needed :3

I like to think that Gangle melts like a puddle the moment she receives loving, physical touch from Jax. That woman is absolutely touched starved

She's rubbing her hands together like a fly as she somehow convinced Jax to dress up as a maid for her.

He just wants to get the dress off, but he's doing it for her

Pomni x Jax Tickle Headcanons 🃏🐰

Recently I really fell deep back into my TADC hyperfixation (which of course happens every time a new episode drops) and decided I wanted to make some revised and extended tickle headcanons for Pomni and Jax, especially ones that took into account Pomni's aversion to touch. These can be taken as platonic or romantic, take your pick! No idea where I land, I just love them both and want them to have silly fun 💞

It started as simple bullet points, but quickly grew to a full recounting of how I imagine them getting into tickling. It's somewhere between a bulleted list and a fic, I dunno 😅

Regardless, hope you enjoy!

How The Tickles Began

○ Pomni (as confirmed by Gooseworx in this post) doesn't like being touched, whether this has been a lifelong thing or if it only started in the circus is currently unknown. Whatever the case, Jax found this out the hard way.

○ Jax was the first to initiate tickles, out of complete boredom and frustration, just playfully picking on Pomni one day with an surprise intense tickle attack to get his mind off of things.

○ He expected her to get pissed and yell at him a bunch, but his heart absolutely SANK when he noticed she was panicking, desperately crawling away from him the moment he stopped. Once she composed herself she explained, still very shaken, and then kept her distance from him.

○ After a few days Jax went to her room with an offer to try and make things right, giving her the opportunity to tickle him back, despite his hatred of feeling vulnerable and giving up control.

○ Pomni didn't trust the offer at first, fully thought it might be a trap leading to a bigger prank, but she saw a sincerity on his face that she's never seen on him before. She decided to give him a chance and let him in.

○ Pomni was surprised by how much fun she ended up having, getting surprisingly teasey and enjoying the tickly power she had over him. Jax was equally surprised by how much fun he ended up having getting tickled, and how much he enjoyed seeing this more playful side of her.

○ What started as a one-off apologetic gesture quickly turned into a recurring thing, as Pomni started giving Jax little pokes and tickles whenever he's being rude or especially snarky. She always makes sure to do it when nobody's around though, so she doesn't out his ticklishness to the whole group, which he quietly notices and greatly appreciates.

○ As they started getting closer, Pomni asked if he'd help her outside of her comfort zone bit by bit so she can get more comfortable with touch. They started with simple things like a hand on the shoulder, moved up to holding hands, then brief hugs, and eventually all the way up to a sort of cuddle.

○ During one of these cuddle attempts, Jax's touch accidentally tickled her side. He immediately panicked at the memory of the last time he tickled her, but she assured him it was fine since it was clearly an accident. Plus she didn't hate how it felt as much as last time.

○ After repeatedly thinking about that moment, and plenty of times tickling Jax, she decided she wanted to let him try tickling her again. Though just like her slow exposure to touch, she wanted to start real light and simple.

○ Jax, still scared of a repeat of the first time, was surprisingly active in establishing a safe word and reassuring that he'd check in often to make sure she's okay. Pomni really appreciated this caring side of Jax.

○ They eased into things and while Pomni struggled a bit at first to get used to the feeling in excess, she found herself starting to have fun. And though Jax still battled his nerves, the more he saw her enjoying herself the more fun he had.

○ Jax tried going for stronger levels and speeds of tickling at Pomni's request, but she never quite felt comfortable enough when going past light soft tickles. That's plenty enough for her though, and she's happy having tried and discovered where her limits are.

○ Now they both enjoy this as a fun activity to help decompress and distract from all the stresses of the circus, switching back and forth for who tickles who, and sometimes falling into cuddly tickle fights. All still in secret of course, just their own silly private antics.

Misc. Extra Details

○ Both Pomni and Jax are switches, Pomni being slightly ler-leaning while Jax is dead-center 50/50. Jax often claims to be ler-leaning, but the frequency of his lee moods tell a different story.

○ Jax is an absolute master of teasing, always knowing the best combination of words and teases to make Pomni giggle like crazy. He learned it really helps wreck her in the way that heavier tickles would, while still letting her retain comfort touch-wise. He's also just super appreciative that he finally has someone who appreciates his snarky teasey energy.

○ Pomni baby talks to Jax when tickling him. At first this was something he found patronizing and would roll his eyes at, but he warmed up to it more and more and now finds himself melting whenever she does it. He hates how much of an effect it has on him, but doesn't want her to stop.

○ At one point while they were testing Pomni's tickling limits, she convinced Jax to go crazy and tickle as full force as he wants. He double and triple checked if that's what she truly wanted, and she hesitantly said yes before immediately using their safe word the moment it started. It turned out she only offered that because she felt bad that she can go as crazy as she wants when tickling him but he needs to hold back for the sake of her comfort and boundaries. He reassured her that he's fully happy with giving her light tickles because they're what make her happy, and he still has the best time doing it.

○ Pomni lets Jax give her tickly pokes when they're around the others, mainly because it looks like the type of annoyance that he'd be bringing to any of them. She gets a kick out of pretending to be mad at him in those moments to keep up appearances, and they laugh about it the moment they're alone.

○ Pomni's favorite tickle spots are her tummy and sides, while Jax's are his feet and underarms. He also loses it when she tickles his ears.

when the ao3 author is funny in the chapter notes and i get lowkey parasocial

[amazingmsme]

i'm really picky about fanfic.

[amazingmsme]

She’s my everything

& she’s probably rolling her eyes at something Jax said

[amazingmsme]

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

[amazingmsme]

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.

her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.

icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.
