It depends on the spot for me. Still not sure about my stomach but I think an area like my back, just might murder me. Maaaaaybe ribs too but idk. I'm afraid when my partner attempts them on my calves, he's gonna get kicked-

Question/Hot take: Raspberries

Over the past couple months, I’ve experienced raspberries for the first time while being tickled. And honestly? Not that ticklish. The facial hair tickled way more. So I’m curious. Lees, are raspberries super ticklish for you? Lers, do they drive the lees you’ve tickled insane? Or is it more of a flustering thing?

Ya girl had a kidney stone flare up last night, and was doing everything she could to distract, including posting shit and watching a comfort movie. Which led to some flashbacks:

I had a Nightmare Before Christmas OC, when I was around fourteen but never got around to writing about her or fleshing her out. She was Jack and Sally's daughter and her name was Hazel. When I was a kid, I pictured her as a skeleton but now I don't wanna fall into that trope of 'one kid looks like dad, one kid looks like mum'. If my memory serves me well:

-Tall girl. She got her height from Jack, honest.

-A skilled seamstress like Sally. Knits cobwebs when she's anxious. She likes to crochet and sew.

-Her first name was derived from witch hazel.

-Born with two rows of extremely sharp teeth. Bit the first digit of Jack's finger off, when she was only a few hours old.

-She was a biter as a toddler.

-Once when she was two or three, she wandered off and wound up in Christmas Town. Luckily, Sandy Claws could tell whose baby she was, and got her home safe and sound. Mrs. Claws baked her a special slab of gingerbread that she could bite on.

-Hates being compared to Jack and he doesn't like it either. She wants to be her own person outside of being princess.

-Plays piano.

-Has a nice singing voice like both of her parents.

-Unlike Jack, she never gets bored of doing the same stuff on Halloween. She comes up with new ideas every year to keep him engaged.

-Sally initially was pretty nervous about Lock, Shock and Barrel being around Hazel. They'd hung around throughout the pregnancy, curious about when she'd arrive and when they'd be able to play with her. They were redeemed after Oogie's death, no longer following him but it still made Sally anxious until she knew they weren't going to get up to fuckery with her baby.

-That being said, when she was old enough to play, they did get up to mischief but nothing bad.

-Tried to act like a vampire when she was a kid. She found out very quickly that she can't turn into a bat and fly.

-Despite aging and growing up, she still has to break up fights between her childhood friends. Shock has been known to strangle Barrel and Lock. They still consider her a part of their group. She's just the taller, older sister now.

-Still goes trick or treating and does candy trades.

-Often called to help her grandpa Finklestein with testing new inventions and gadgets.

-Makes artwork using spiderwebs in her spare time.

In a way, Hazel was also responsible for the trick-or-treat trio's mellowing out.

Thanks to them becoming her play mates- and an eventual official member of the gang- Hazel quickly became their voice of reason and kept them out of major trouble.

So, they'd still get into mischief and fuckery but nothing bad.

She even had her own official mask made for her.

Loves science, thanks to Grandpa Fink and Grandma Jewel. Was taught that science is important and could be fun. She liked making things with him that she could eat. There was also one time, she caused a massive explosion because she added a chemical.... At his urging lol.

".... What's it do, grandpa??"

"Well, science can be about discovering new things. I've never tried this combination before, so why don't you add a drop and step back, just in case?"

*Cue explosion and two worried parents, hauling ass to the lab*

It was fine though, she thought it was hilarious and Finklestein was reminded of Jack doing something similar but his was on accident sfhdfhffggdg

If any moots, really anyone needs a quick comfort snack or the PMS/period demons are plaguing ya:

Spray a microwavable mug with baking spray.

Crumble 2-3 graham crackers (I like the cinnamon kind)

2-3 tablespoons of mini marshmallows.

Go nuts with the chocolate chips. Semi-sweet is best!

Crumble 2-3 more graham crackers on top.

Microwave for thirty seconds, watching the mug carefully. Marshmallows will inflate and you'll have a mess if you don't stop the microwave in intervals. If the chocolate chips aren't melty enough, try ten more seconds.

Enjoy!

Normalize authors studying the source before writing spin-offs and sequels please

P l e a s e. ALW didn't have to do what he did. LND DIDN'T NEED TO BE A THING, ANDREW. LLTPQ sounded really good until I found out what was wrong with it. HOW DO WE JUST DECIDE DR. FINKLESTEIN DIDN'T CREATE SALLY, WHEN HE STATED THAT HE DID?!

....Not quite as awful as Love Never Dies but.... 😬o o f.

None of this makes sense, holy shit! The fact that they reduced her character so much too! And made Fink a bad guy?! Come on! The inconsistencies too! THE FUCKING LINE IN THE MOVIE:

"I made you! With my own hands!" Did that mean nothing to the author?! She's Fink's creation, not some doll he kidnapped ffs!!

AND THE SANDMAN, OHHHHH MY GOD. Dude really said, "I can't sleep and I'm gonna make it your problem lol" The f u c k?

And I completely agree that Fink would be happy that Sally married Jack! He even makes Jewel (At least that's what I call her) to effectively replace Sally, late in the film! I think he was an absolute dick in the film but I really don't think he'd oppose the marriage!

This makes me remember an idea for a fanfic I had in middle school. Like, Jack and Sally have a daughter and the family is cool with Fink! Never occurred to me to write Fink as a bad guy, just a mad scientist who thinks it's important to show his grandbaby that science is important and fun. 😭

It makes me so mad how you describe the author stripping Sally's character away too. She was shown to have brains and intelligence in the film, rational and logical when Jack was not.

This right here is why I consider the game Oogie's Revenge as the rightful sequel. They got characters correct at least.... Even though they just ignore that Lock, Shock, and Barrel redeem themselves towards the end and show no more loyalty to Oogie by that point. *side eye*

I'm sorry for sending in another ask 🙈 But I need to know your opinion, as I haven't had a chance to read it. Sooooooo, why is Long Live The Pumpkin Queen, bad? Did they fuck up the doc and Sally that badly? Like are we talking about Love Never Dies level of shitty? (musical sequel to Phantom of the opera that most of us fans loathe.)

Oh boy, okay

This is gonna be long, please bare with me 😭

So the book completely changes/“fixes” Sally’s origins. She wasn’t a creation, or never even FROM Halloween Town.

She’s a special princess of dolls from “Dream Town” and has parents who are also dolls. She was kidnapped from her bedroom when she was like 12 by Finkelstein.

This is fucking bullshit.

How she even physically ages or how dolls can even conceive is never brought up or explained. Nor is how Fink even kidnapped her in the first place. The book and author just expects you to accept this new canon, which conveniently comes out like three decades after the source material.

Because the book is in first person and in Sally’s point of view we NEVER hear any perspective or proper explanation from Fink or any other character about anything.

Fink is just reduced to a one-dimensional villain who kidnapped Sally all because he apparently can’t create life or bring things back to life via science. You know… HIS FUCKING JOB.

He despises that Jack and Sally get married, despite that Fink would be ecstatic at this (Sally’s his creation and Jack one of his very old friends.)

Sally is also reduced to a one-dimensional protagonist who never questions anything and every third word from her mouth/brain is either “sad”, “ragdoll”, or “stitches/seams”.

She just believes these two doll people who she’s never met before, and doesn’t bother to leave “Dream Town” to ask the elderly scientist she’s known for her entire existence about this (not to mention everyone in the entire world including the holiday realms are dead asleep at this point at this part in the book anyway…)

Oh yeah, the book has a main villain too, surprisingly. It’s not Fink, even though the book certainly treats him like it.

It’s the fake ruler of “Dream Town”, Sandman, who’s actually kind of cool and creepy. But his reasoning for his villainy is bullshit, just like everything else in this damn book.

He’s just tired.

Yeah.

The Sandman is tired because he can’t sleep and his sand doesn’t work on him so he can’t get to sleep. You’d think a being as powerful and seemingly dangerous as this guy wouldn’t need sleep, but apparently he does. He’s cranky and needs a nap with his blanky, boo-fucking-hoo.

The ONLY thing I actually sort of enjoyed in the book was the bit where Sandman was stalking Halloween Town, putting everyone to sleep, and Sally was hiding from him. That was actually kind of suspenseful and I wish Sandman was that threatening throughout.

And does Sandman get any punishment for taking over “Dream Town” and putting everyone in an eternal sleep?

Nope. But FINK gets punished! Firstly, Jack completely believes these two random doll creatures he has never met before and that say they’re Sally’s parents. He yells at Fink, without asking his dear old friend if any of this is even true. And then Fink gets 100 years of prison and community service, which is stupid because why the fuck would Holiday realm laws, much less HALLOWEEN TOWN laws, function the same as the real world’s?

Speaking of which, apparently Halloween Town’s an actual monarchy, and the Pumpkin King isn’t just a cool title for the face/mascot/figurehead of the realm. The book even lampshades this, but doesn’t take this anywhere further aside from Sally complaining she has to wear a crown and Jack doesn’t.

This whole book is stupid and I will never accept it as canon, ever.

What sucks about this is that I fucking PREORDERED the book! I thought it was gonna be a story about how and why Sally was created, and get some backstory/lore for Fink, as well as explanation of why his relationship with his creation got so bad. Maybe a little extra plot of how Sally and Jack met.

But it didn’t. I fucking cried. This book made me cry my fucking eyes out, out of anger and betrayal because my favourite character and his creation/daughter was butchered.

After reading the whole thing I threw the book in a little library and never looked back.

I’m still working on a complete and total rewrite/fix-it-fic, it’s just gotten put on the back-burner because of other projects I’m currently working/fixated on. Apologies for that. But I promise it won’t be forgotten!

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the Holiday rulers have a meeting about climate change. Because Holidays have super importance with the weather or some shit. I’m not fucking kidding.

EDIT 2: The author is also a New York Times best-seller which is already pretty suspicious since that is basically a huge scam. The book has hundreds of 4-5 star reviews that don't even really get into the specifics of WHY it's good. They're all either extreme Jack x Sally fans (the book starts off with them getting married and Sally's main dilemma is worrying about being "a good enough queen") that like anything tnbc/Jally related OR a bunch of people were paid to give this book glowing reviews.

Ok, so I re-watched the original Disney's Cinderella, got soft over 'So, this is love,' and had an idea for a fic, I may write:

Imagine it's a few days after Charming and Cinderella marry. She's still getting used to being treated like a person and princess. All she knows is doing housework for others. So, she's trying to clean and do tidying, won't listen to Charming when he asks her to take a break the first time.

So, when she's dusting windows, he sneaks up behind her and starts playfully tickling her:

"Take a break, Cinderelly! No more cleaning! Not today or ever!"

He's such a goofball and of course she complies, because her hubby convinces her that there's no need for constant cleaning and doing chores now. She's safe and protected from Lady Tremaine's bullshit, and can heal from years of abuse.

4, 6, 20 for the ask game!

4. What is your favorite tickle story trope?

Ooooh, this one is hard. I have so many! I love the trope of 'touch starved person finds out they're ticklish and chaos ensues'

I also am a fan of 'scary looking villain can be taken down with a few light scribbles to their tummy'

6. Which fictional character would you love to see a canonical tickle scene for?

You're killing me, Smalls. 🤣 ARGH, I HAVE SO MANY! *INHALES* OK....

Erik, from Phantom of the opera for sure. He deseves it lol.

You know how in the stage production during Music of the night, he drapes himself over the portcullis? And Christine runs her hands down his chest or ribs, depending on the actress?

Yeeeeeeeah, I wouldn't be able to help but sneak a poke in during rehearsals lol. That's the equivalent of some stretching and seeing a little bit of tummy for me.

20. What is something you'd like to try with tickling?

Hmmm. I've never had nibbles before, so I wanna see how I react to them, and which spots are most susceptible to them. I'd also like to see my partner turn me into an art piece with either paint or markers but he didn't fucking read this lol.

Thank you for the ask!
