Brain's crashing kinda hard today.

Wishing for hugs I know I won't get while knowing my friend in a different state who's also brain-tired today has a friend of theirs that's bringing them some treats and who'll probably give them hugs and such.

Being physically isolated sucks and I'm just not in a position in life where that'll change anytime soon, so here I be, just existing in the gross.

Ugh, I just need to be held right now. Just sweet and simple cuddles with light tickles and kisses peppered in

That touch-starved kinda night where you just wish you had someone there with you to hold your hand while watching some silly YouTube videos 🖐

[switchyglitch]

I've been having a really fun time drawing Skitters and Eepo interacting. Usually I just draw one or the other, or they're in the same place but not really acknowledging each other. So letting them have silly fun together has been a treat 🥰

If anyone has any scenario suggestions for the next ones, let me know in a comment or ask! 💬

Still thinking about the Zoey gif.

Still thinking about lee mood Eepo.

So here's Skitters making Eepo all blushy flustered with a loop of the Zoey gif ☺️

[switchyglitch]

As someone who just recently watched (and LOVED) KPop Demon Hunters, and immediately fell in love with Zoey, seeing this little finger motion while rewatching flustered me more than I care to admit 🫠

18 and 23 friend!

Thanks for the numbers, friendo! 💜

18. What % lee/ler are you?

Honestly it varies so much I have a hard time telling 😅

Sometimes I have a period of time where I'm feeling extra ler, and other times I have periods where I feel extra lee. Though I will say, as much as I used to think I was right down the middle 50/50, I might be just a touch lee-leaning. Might just be the self tickles mixed with not having anyone to tickle though, I dunno 🤷‍♂️

So if I had to try and put a number on it overall, I think I'd say 55% lee and 45% ler. Still definitely a switch, but that lee mood hits just a bit more often as of late.

23. Where is your most ticklish spot?

Definitely my feet I think, they're like stupid sensitive to touch. The annoying bit is that they're too sensitive, to the point where I don't think tickles there would be especially fun unless they were reeeeeally gentle, and probably through socks so there's a bit of a buffer.

Very random but I never thought I would see one of the templates I made years ago haha, my blog used to be the-cutest-tickletoy, nice to see that people still use it :D

Omg that's crazy! 🤩 Yeah it's literally the most perfect template I've ever found for the blog, super deserving of being continuously used by myself and others.

Thanks for making such a perfect-to-use thing 👏👏👏💜

The way I'm both relieved and honestly kinda disappointed that the convo of tickles didn't extend to me.

Like I don't want to be asked if I'm ticklish but.. like.. I do.. 🫠

Sometimes the world has the friend you're on a call with (who doesn't know your love of tickles) attempting to tickle their roommate for an inordinate amount of time, and you just need to sit there and act like a person while fully being on webcam.

I am coping by writing this post so I have something else to focus on, and a reason to not look at the screen 😅

Heya! I know Jax gives off sadistic energy, but do you think he sees tickling differently from the usual hijinks he causes? Like when it comes to chaos, he knows to not hold back cuz its funny. But if its tickling, hes always cautious about it?

Like I can imagine him saying like a half-assed "Hey, you know you can just tickle me back, right?"

I think that at first he saw it as just one of his typical hijinks. Just something to pass the time, a prank to inconvenience someone for his own amusement. But after that first time tickling Pomni, seeing her as panicked and uncomfortable as she was, it really rattled him. He'd pissed people off plenty, annoyed them, even physically harmed them since he knows it's barely an inconvenience in this digital world, but he never saw someone so scared and desperate to get away from him.

When he first let Pomni tickle him, he discovered how much silly fun tickling could be. He had no idea how much fun he'd have, he didn't realize tickling could be a fun thing for the one getting tickled, just thought it was a funny nuisance to take advantage of. But now he saw it, the fun time it can be when done right.

By the time Pomni wanted to try easing into getting tickled, he treated tickling with a lot more care. Making sure to restrain himself, making sure she was having as much fun as he was. At first he thought he wouldn't have fun with such a restriction at hand, but he upped the teasing and held back his urge to go crazy and realized he was just happy hearing the giggles of a comfy happy Pomni and knowing he was the one causing it.

Would love to know your thoughts about Jax getting all flustered when Pomni tickles him! Maybe even how he reacts when Pomni first fully tickles him back! Only if you want to of course! 💖 Hope you’re doing well!

Aw I'm doing good, thanks! Hope you’re doing well yourself! 💜 And ooh fair, didn't get too into his experience in the headcanon post.

I think when Pomni is first testing the waters, he's quite cocky and even teasing her. Maybe playfully trashing on her to get her to break out of that nervous shell and really go for it.

Then when she starts loosening up, that cocky energy of his starts to dissipate as her tickles get more effective. And as she notices that energy shift, she uses that as her in to start teasing him some. She doesn't expect much of a reaction since he's usually so unfazed by everyone, but she's shocked to see his face has gone pink.

She points this out gleefully, and he IMMEDIATELY and very defensively denies it, shouting that she's wrong and she doesn't know what she's talking about. Pomni continues talking about how cute his reactions are and, at first, he finds it much more annoying than fun. Though as she keeps getting teasier, he slowly gets enamored with this confident side of her, deciding to give in and just let himself enjoy the ride. He stops holding back his laughter, his blush gets deeper, and he's playfully whining at every tease she throws at him. He lets her be in control, and likes it a lot more than he's willing to admit for now.

napping together???? as a date???? of course

[switchyglitch]

Super bored and been thinking about Pomni a bunch today 🃏

Feel free to throw tickle questions at my asks about her and Jax regarding my recent headanons.

Bestie Tickle Time 👾🦉

In all the time I've had these two cuties, I somehow never took advantage of Eepo's switchiness by drawing Skitters tickling him. This is long overdue 😋

So here's Eepo getting some of his daily pre-nap tickles from his best buddy ☺️

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.
