MAGNUS CHASE TK HEADCANONS
Not sure where this came from but here we are 🤷🏼♀️ disclaimer: I haven't read these books in like five years so these are solely based off of what I remember about the characters and their dynamics 😅
Magnus
Actually finds it kinda fun despite his (supposed) aversion to touch
BUT. he is MUCH too embarrassed and too deep in denial to ever be able to admit to it
Easily flustered—both by giving and receiving—though he tries to play it off like it's no big deal
Too sensitive for his own good! Ticklish all over but if you target his ribs specifically he will probably die (again)
JUMPY
The others gang up on him if he starts getting too angsty or too in his own head
Usually targeted by Blitz or Alex
Often too shy to initiate anything but when he does it's usually playful little pokes
Can't say The Word
Snorts if you catch him by surprise—otherwise it's bouts of poorly suppressed giggling that everyone finds very endearing <3
Snarky ler
Will usually only initiate with Blitz and Hearth. He knows starting something with Alex or Sam is a death sentence (though he will retaliate if one of them started it).
Alex
Enjoys it on occasion but usually just likes to pester her friends with it
She has to really trust you if she's allowing you to get within a five-foot radius of her
.....and good luck trying to catch her and keep her down long enough to tickle her without losing a limb
If you do somehow manage to get her, it's all cackles and squeals (+ lots of cursing)
Loves a good fight! She enjoys it more when it's play or has some competitive component to it. It's all about the thrill of the chase!!! (no pun intended)
Loves to tease and torment Magnus and gets immense satisfaction from his embarrassment from it
Has no problem saying The Word (and ofc loves to use it against Magnus)
Typically would prefer the rougher play, but she too is not immune to the power gentle touch
Receiving gentle, affectionate touch is outside of her frame of reference (*sob*) so having her hair played with or getting a massage from a friend is simultaneously heaven and hell
Like Magnus, very sensitive and also a bit shy when it comes to the subject
Samirah
(This is assumed to be post-marriage when she can be in contact with Amir. The others are considered family and therefore are in the clear.)
Doesn't usually like to be touched
She does, however, like to use it as a tactic for cheering up Alex (she's probably the only safe one to do so lol)
Targeting her will also put your life at risk (unless you're Amir... and even then you're on thin ice)
Devastatingly fast fingers
Doesn't see an issue with The Word
Will help destroy Magnus if the others have started it and need the extra help
The Queen of teases
Hearth
Mostly indifferent but doesn't mind it
Mildly sensitive; definitely not as bad as some of the others in the group
Gentle touches will put him to sleep, though—anywhere is a melt spot if you're gentle enough lol. just putty in your hands
Ears, under the chin, and feet are especially sensitive
Be careful though because he WILL ragdoll if you get him good enough
Likes to tease Magnus and Blitz the most
Doesn't have a very wide variety of teases in ASL but that does not matter..... the look he gives you is enough
The knowing smirk, the playful glint in his eyes, the wiggling fingers.......
Those long, thin, gentle fingers are KILLER
He's a kicker if you plan to target him so you better steer clear of those long legs
The friends that do get him from time to time try to keep from restraining his arms or hands so that he can still sign
His cheeks and ears flush a greenish hue when he's embarrassed or flustered (a rare occurance, but it's that much more special if you do get to see it)
If you somehow are able to crack the stoic exterior, you will be rewarded with the most adorable wheezy laugh with eyes and nose scrunched tight in resistance
Blitz
Gremlin switchhhhh. The switchiest of all.
An absolute force of chaos, both as a lee and as a ler
Feisty! He plays a bit rougher (if he knows you can handle it)
Loud, boisterous laughter. Incredibly contagioius
He can actually say The Word, though he does get mildly embarrassed from it
A Big Meanie (affectionate) to Magnus and Alex but is a little gentler with Hearth
He will almost never target you if he's in his regular nice clothes... there's no way he's gonna risk getting them dirty or torn
But if he's in casual/comfy clothes (still looking dope as hell ofc) or in battle gear you better watch out
And heaven forbid you start something with him while he's in his nice clothes. Because you are TOAST the next time he gets a chance
Sooo so fun to play around with (and unlike with Alex or Sam there is not a risk of dying :,)

Deaths of Legends
Alex had spotted Archie first, and was confused as to what an Illager child was doing out here. Not that she cared what would happen to the vermin, it was just a bizarre oddity in a normally quiet part of the woods.
It was gathering wild hazelnuts and the red eyes made Alex's skin crawl. Gods it was hideous! Illagers were ugly filth in general, but this one's red eyes only made it demonic.
Wait, it wasn't a kid...it looked older, like maybe 20's or something. It had no weapon or armor but that didn't matter to Alex, an Illager was a dangerous monster and monsters needed to be disposed of.
Archie sensed he was being stared at by something hateful, not a wild beast. It was a sinking feeling that brought on a terrible rush of fear. He spun around and saw the human woman.
She was young, perhaps early to mid 20's, and was tall and had a strong build. Her gaze was nothing but hate and disgust, and he backed up, shaking hands in the air to show her he had nothing to harm her.
"What the hell are you doing good here, freak? Your kind come to disturb and defile this forest? You're stealing food from this tree and not welcome."
"It's-It's a wild tree and not a farm-"
"You're still here, near my house."
"I'll leave, ok?"
Steve had jogged up and was taken aback by the small Illager. His expression was not friendly either, and he had drawn his sword.
"You'll leave alright, a permanent departure." Steve growled.
Archie wanted to scream at them that he wasn't a monster and had no interest in stealing from them or causing harm. But he also knew they wouldn't listen, and he was no backed into a tree.
"Please let me go...just let me go..."
The pathetic, whimpering plea seemed not just for himself but it was like he was desperately trying to warn them of something; they could see it in his eyes. He wasn't just afraid of them, but afraid FOR them.
Alex was tired of seeing the grey skinned, sniveling thing, and swiftly stabbed him in the stomach as Steve swung at the neck; which he ended up missing because something had seized his body and yanked him back.
The pain of teeth and immense pressure from angry jaws made him scream. A bear must have been nearby, or some massive forest cat. The teeth let go only to make a mess of Alex's shoulder and back. She couldn't raise her sword as the tendons and muscles had been so badly damaged.
Then they saw him. A huge male Illager with the fire of vengeance in his eyes; a parent's vengeance. Steve wanted to swing his sword but could not manage a maneuver and slumped to the ground. Briefly, the towering Pillager gathered up the small illager and placed it against a log before he turned his deadly attention to the pair of humans.
"You human filth, there is no end to your gall."
Whatever hatred they had for Illagers could not match the disdain and loathing in his voice for humans.
Alex and Steve now realized far too late that the small Illager had been warning them about this devil, and for a long moment felt deep pangs of regret. One for not heeding the warning, and two...for hurting what had clearly been a most unexpected ally.
