#x-men tickle

[tickled-in-pink]

Hahahahaha what no I'm totally not thinking about being tickled by Gambit because I've been watching X-Men '97 what why would you even say that hahahaha....

Why would I be thinking about that he's probably really bad at tickling anyway like so so bad no way I'd never let him tickle me hahaha....

...Unless 👀💦

[bluebladefluff]

✨Wolverine Tickle Headcanons✨

My pookie🥺 here are some headcanons for my favorite baby gurl currently. None of these pics are mine. I found them off of Pinterest. P.S. this was not proof read.

Lee headcanons

So let’s get one thing clear, this man is not going down without a fight

He’ll be a lot nicer if it’s someone he’s real close to trying to tickle him but like he doesn’t know you very well expect to be punted into a wall

If it’s someone he is super close to, he’ll still put up somewhat of a fight by pushing a shoving at the person but he doesn’t honestly want to hurt them so he’s going easy

He’s super ticklish on his stomach. When Jean was looking at him wounds in the first movie, she ran her hands over his stomach. He pushes her off saying it tickles so guys it’s literally canon fight me

Sometimes if you tickle his stomach long enough, he’ll kick out his leg like a dog would do. It’s super cute to see so I def recommend trying it

He’s got ticklish armpits too but nothing is as bad as his stomach

A contender for most ticklish spot has to be his around his neck, specifically under his chin

It’s hard to get under there because he’ll squish your fingers with his chin and head but if you do manage to do it, he lets out the cutest giggles. Just don’t bring it up that he giggles or he’ll get very upset and most likely will punch you

And just like Hugh, he snorts a lot when he laughs. Wheezes too but that part really depends on where and how long you’ve been tickling him

He reacts more to softer tickles. My man has known nothing but pain and suffering his entire life and he expects that even with tickling. Softly skittering your fingers across his stomach throws him for a loop and he starts to giggle and squirm. The sensation is just so foreign to him that he can’t really build up a tolerance to it. He can’t hold out for very long with the softer tickles and taps out pretty fast

And I’m not saying that rougher don’t get him cause they definitely do. He’s just used to people being rough with him so he can stand those a lot more than the gentle kind. Rougher tickles get him really laughing especially when you dig or massage into a certain place.

Raspberries and nibbles will literally kill this guy so don’t even try. (Please try it I’m begging you). Will usually writhe and buck as hard as he can’t to get the offender off of him but after like three he goes completely limp and just takes it

Surprisingly he does get into moods where he wants to be tickled. He does really like physical touch with those he cares about that doesn’t involve them hurting him. Will never admit to wanting to be tickled though. His go to for getting tickles is playfully annoying you into dishing them out.

He’ll shove at you, mock you, knock you things over, sass you, anything to get you to retaliate. He is so good at it too though. Like you can know what he’s trying to do and try to make him ask for tickles but holy shit can this man get under your skin. Scott knows best I’ll tell you that much.

When he wants so light hearted gentle tickles he’ll go to Jean for them. Her touch is soft and light and makes him giggle as he lays on the exam table. She’s the only one who he allows to see him giggling like that and doesn’t try to hide it from her. She’s super great full he trusts her enough for that and never takes advantage of it.

However when Logan wants some rough, tear jerking tickles he can pretty much go to anyone else in the mansion and piss them off. They get him good and leave him satisfied but his favorite is Scott. Even when being tickled to tears this man is still taunting poor Scott. My man cannot catch a break I’ll tell you that much

Teasing that gets him the most is when you poke fun at what he’s doing. Whether it’s how he’s barely fighting back or the noise he just made or how he’s all squirmy. That never fails to get him to blush. But make sure not to do it too often otherwise he’ll get genuinely insecure about it and make you stop.

As for the Worst Logan, he’s way more stand offish about being tickled. He hadn’t felt anyone tickle him sense his friends had passed and he really missed it but in his mind didn’t deserve to be happy for letting them all down

When he moves in with Wade though, Mr. Deadpool here makes sure he gets his fill of tickles even if it cost him so blood and lots and lots of broken bones.

Still won’t go down without a fight but Worst Logan fights even harder. The claws come out and he starts slashing. Has no remorse for Wade and will cut that guys head off if he can. He’s way more gentle with Laura but he still fights back.

Laura loved to tickle him to get him to relax a little. Her Logan was always so angry and grumpy and with good reason too, but she always wanted to be able to put a smile on his face and now she can! She may not be exactly as strong as him but she’s still pretty damn strong. She’s usually the one to hold his arms above his head while Wade is sitting on his waist to go to town

When he’s been all tickled out, he curls up into a ball to catch his breath. He’ll act like he hated it and call you names but at the end of the day he looks way more relaxed than before. Isn’t a huge fan of being cuddled afterwards and would rather have time by himself to recover. When he does, he’ll pretend like nothing happened and go about the rest of his day.

All and all very cute, very demure little honey badger���� 10/10

Ler Headcanons

(This picture is absolutely terrifying. He looks like he’s about to come and bite me😭)

Boy you better watch out

This man may have looked all cute and cuddly while being tickled to pieces but when he’s on the hunt for a victim he is scary as hell

You are not getting away from him either. With his heightened senses he’ll pick up your scent in no time. He’s also way faster than the average human being so you’re not out running him either. Best course of action is to just stand that and except your fate🙏

Nothing is more terrifying than being in your hiding place and hearing this beast start sniffing. At this point he already knows where you are and is just messing with you. He’ll pretend to look around and get super close to your hiding spot before backing off and going somewhere else. He’ll repeat this process until either he decides the Lee might explode from anticipation or when he gets bored.

This man will also like let out a growl which is absolutely terrifying. Imagine you’re hiding in a closet and all of a sudden you hear this eerie rumbling noise coming closer and closer. Personally I’d shit my pants but that’s just me 🤷‍♀️

Will tackle you to the ground if he has to. You’re also not pushing that man off. He’s entire skeleton has metal in it his big ass is like 300 pounds. If he wants you to stay there on the floor you can bet your ass you’re gonna on that floor and you’re not leaving until he’s had enough. And depending on the reason why he was after you in the first place, you may be there for a loooooong time

Uses rough tickles on pretty much everyone. He’ll go a little softer on the kids in the mansion or Jean but he’s still digging in. He likes to latch on to a weak spot and vibrate his hands into it. That or drilling just his thumbs into your spot. It tickles way more than you think it does. And if he feels like it or thinks the Lee really needs it, sometimes he use gentle tickles but it’s very rare. Maybe if he sees you were have a hard day, he’ll sit next to you and pull you into his lap and lightly tickle your across your body. Just don’t get sassy with him or he’ll dig in with no remorse

Oh my god don’t get me started on them raspberries!!! I swear he could kill a man with them. He could blow like 100 and not break a sweat. You on the other hand…. Let’s just say it was nice knowing you😊

What makes his raspberries even worse is them god damn mutton chops. They’re actually pretty soft which makes it worse for his Lee cause it tickles way more than it should. And unfortunately for his victim, he knows this and uses it to his full advantage. He’ll nuzzle into your stomach or neck as he’s blowing raspberry after raspberry. He isn’t stopping until he see tears

He can tell when someone is in the mood for tickles and depending on how he’s feeling in the moment depends on how screwed you are.

If he’s feeling kinda annoyed at the moment prepare to suffer. He will not be going easy on you not matter what you even did to get you into this situation. He actually enjoys making his victims scream and thrash a lot. He thinks it’s hilarious

If he’s feeling playful, he’ll make it seem like you’re gonna get away but he always catches you in the end. He’ll even let your try and key word is try, to fight back but he’s still the one in control. He’s just doing it to make you feel like you have a chance

If finally if he’s feeling kinda mushy, he’ll kinda pull you into a bear hug or into his lap and wreck you like that. It feels nice to be in his warm embrace but like you’re still being tickled to tears soooo

With the Worst Logan, he’s way meaner and more aggressive specially when it comes to Wade. Since he can’t actually kill him, he goes all out until Wade is completely Blue in the face. Sometimes he literally has to be pulled off of Wade to get him to stop and then he’ll just go for you next so idk if it’s worth it bestie

He’s a little awkward around Laura still and is kinda afraid of making her uncomfortable. She tries to make him understand that she’s okay with it but no matter what he can’t push the feeling away that she might end up hating his if he goes too far. Finally after a while he started to just poke her repeatedly. No where near as bad as what he does to Wade but it gets her giggling and that makes him feel satisfied enough

At the end of the day he is an absolute terrifying ler and I love him so much.

_______________________________________________

I hope y’all liked it! I really wanted to write for him for so long but never had the motivation to. Finally it came to me in a dream and then I wrote like half of this at 1:00 in the morning but it’s finished so that’s all I care about

[iamawolfstarsimp]

okay so I just watched x-men (movie) for the first time yesterday and

NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WAS A TICKLE SCENE IN IT

(and it's so good too, very brief but it still gave me so many butterflys like ahh)

[whiskeyandcigarsmoke]

I don't think we talk enough about Logan being canonically ticklish on his stomach ( per the end of X1). I just think we need to dive into this further and by us i mean fanfiction writers and Wade.

[awkward-fink]

Waiting for them to come Home (Part 2)

(Because I forgot to add some of the men we all love, didnt I?) Just imagine you are back on the couch, waiting for days now, your body laid out on the cushions, a soft blanket draped over you to protect you from the chill of the night. And you wait for the door to open, for your lover, your husband, your better half to finally come home again.

Alejandro doesnt try to be silent, even though it is the middle of the night, his gear thumping to the floor and his footsteps surely carrying him towards the kitchen first, opening the still warm pot to swipe a finger through the food, tasting it greedily. But soon he walks towards the living room, finding you and a brilliant smile lights up his face. He is quick to scoop you up and over his shoulder, hands splayed on your ass as he carries your spluttering and quickly awakened form up the stairs, promising to make up for lost time. His hand never leaves your ass all the way up, feeling and groping as he goes, body already burning. 'Mi armor, wake up, i brought some presents for you and the biggest of them is me!'

Rodolfo, that sweet big man, is quiet as he comes into your shared home. He knows you are surely waiting for him, you had always done it when he was late from his assignments. And lo and behold, there you are, curled around his pillow on the couch. A soft smile on his lips, he kneels beside you, caressing your cheeks and whispering softly to you. His big hands easily lift you into his arms, his cheek against yours, further whispering sweet nothings into your ear, soft kisses trailing along your nose until you scrunch it just the way he loves, waking you softly before he takes you to bed with you. 'Told you so often you dont need to wait up, Love. Warms my heart though, so good to me. Don't worry, im not gonna let you outta bed until I had my fill of your kisses.'

Horangi is a strange mixture of reactions. On one side, he always told you to not wait up, to sleep in the bed and be comfortable, he wouldnt mind. On the other hand, seeing you sleeping on the couch, clearly waiting for him to come back, has his heart just slightly racing, as if he had the dice in his hand and was only one throw away from the biggest Jackpot of his life. He hesitates for a second, just taking in your pose, his smile turning into an amused smirk as he sees you drooling in your sleep. Will take a picture to blackmail you with in the morning before unceremoniously putting you over his shoulder and climbing up the stairs, laughing at your sleepy mumbles and your hands steadying yourself on his hips and ass. 'Don't worry Byeolbit (my starlight, if Goggle is correct...), you can touch that some more in just a few minutes. After we both took a shower, one of us reeks and I am not sure its me.' Will pull you with himself under the shower, doesn't care about your PJ's or your sleepdrunk state.

König doesnt know what to do. He is big and burly and strong and he is scared to touch you, you look like a small doll so cosily curled up on the cushions and he really doesnt want to wake you but if you sleep like *this* its gonna be hell on your back and neck and he doesnt want it. That big man is fluttering helplessly around you, hands reaching out before pulling back without touching you, nearly whining underneath his breaths in indecision before he finally, after minutes, settles on poking your cheek gently. 'Liebling (Love, Honey), you awake? You are gonna hurt in the morning... Let me... Let me just...' His words taper off as you blink drowsily at him, so comfy but also so very happy he is home that you cling to him like a koala. His big arms wrap around you, his face flushing so bright he wonders if you can see it shining red in the darkness of your shared home. He is so very careful with every step he climbs up the stairs, one arm around your back, the other underneath your ass as he carries you without problem.

Loser Logan

Here I am, making another unannounced appearance. lol

Of course you all know I've been watching X-men '97. Won't go too into my thoughts on it, but overall I'm enjoying the series. I must say Episode 5 was pretty intense. I rewatched the old X-men: TAS and I never realized how bad some of the animation was in that show. The new one is much more fluid. Wolverine hasn't done much but pine over Jean, but I'm glad to see them letting some of the other characters get more air time. And they brought Morph back, and even Bishop got to be on the team for a little while. I love seeing all the different characters that they've been having Morph transform into, and I'm hoping Kurt will be joining the team soon. Then Logan and him can go kick some ass! :D

Anyways, I managed to draw something. Tried to keep it close to the new animation style. You know I love those close relationships Logan has with others. <3

When you make a money bet on a pool game you had better make sure you actually have the money first, and now that he has lost Logan found he was a little short on cash. With the big lug being a general ass the whole game a buzzed Morph has come up with the perfect alternative; Loser gets tickled! For how long, Morph hasn't decided, but naturally mercy will be considered only after Logan is a nothing but a giggling, blubbering mess on the floor.

Logan always has said that Morph was the only one who could make him laugh. Don't think this is what he had in mind though. XD

Enjoy!

Here's the fic I wrote for this pic here!

[nhasablogg]

lee logan howlett PLEAAASSEE🙏🏼 a lot of people write him out of character and i feel like you wouldn't, like no im not gonna imagine a grown man begging??

Victor was always rough with it, and Logan always protested. “It hurts, you fucking lunatic,” he would say, still laughing, because even though it was painful Victor still knew how to hit his worst spots. Claws all but digging into his lower ribs, curling just enough for Logan’s whole body to jerk. A physical weakness. It was embarrassing to have a physical weakness while being this strong, Victor always said and Logan almost believed him.

“How do you think you’ll survive if your enemies can just poke your fuckin’ side?” he would ask, pinning him to the ground as a way to get Logan to learn how to escape. It was never just a game. Logan didn’t always lose, but mostly he did. He did it rarely enough that it wasn’t a problem - they had other issues either way.

Kayla was always gentle with it. Kind, even as she teased him. “You’re so ticklish,” she would say, smiling, loving. Logan would never even deny it. Had never really done so. But he would whine. He would threaten revenge and he would pull through. But he always let her tackle him to the bed and curl her fingers over his ribs. Gentle even as she pulled him apart.

He had been unused to his sensitivity not being used against his nature. When Kayla teased, it was only because she found it endearing. He had blushed tremendously in the beginning about it, once he’d started realizing that maybe it was okay, and now he only groaned because he knew it would always result in him being tickled. Even if it meant he would get her back twice as bad. He was in love with her laughter. He assumed she was in a similar position with his.

Remy was always playful. Quick and daring and sometimes even merciless, but always grinning. Always laughing along. “For a tough guy, you’re very easy to disarm,” he would say, and Logan would at first be reminded of Victor but would get over it eventually. It helped that Remy was worse, which was hilarious to tease him about, but somehow he always got him first. Nimble fingers over his ribs. Laughter when Logan swatted him away.

The rare times he managed to fully pin him, Logan didn’t beg or scream, but simply laughed. Belly laughter, for just a moment. Carefree, for just a moment. His hands always found Remy’s sides, squeezing and making him fold, working on autopilot before his brain caught up, because being with Kayla taught him to tickle back. Wade was annoying about it and Logan never tickled him back, only because he somehow felt as if he wanted him to. And fuck giving that guy what he wanted.

(For now.)

Jean was always accidental with it. His interest in her was not simply delusion, but the way she would touch him made him feel more than just ticklish (although it was also sometimes quite ticklish).

And the professor? Well, let’s just say he’d given Logan one too many knowing looks after he’d been forced into laughter in entirely different parts of the mansion.

Do You Need Help? (TickleBump)

Mr. Bump was driving the truck with so much anger boiling as he remained deadly silent. Mr. Tickle looked at Mr. Bump with a small frown as he knew Mr. Bump was not in the best of mood.

As they approached the traffic, Mr. Tickle spoke first.

“Do you need a…”

“NO!”, Mr. Bump snapped, “If you’re gonna ask me for a tickle, then keep your arms to yourself! Thanks to you, I’m covered in wasps stings!”

Mr. Tickle frowned as he looked away from the blue bandage man.

I was gonna ask if he needed help. But how? A tickle won’t work. He’s in a bad mood like Mr. Grumpy, and if I attempt to tickle him, he might tie my arms.

The thought of that made Mr. Tickle sigh sadly as one tear escape his eye.

Mr. Bump turned to look at Mr. Tickle as his eyes went wide in surprise. His once angry face turned to a bit of concern.

“Mr. Tickle?”, Mr. Bump asked gently.

Mr. Tickle didn’t answer.

“Look.”, Mr. Bump paused before he sighed, “I shouldn’t have lashed out at you. I know you wanted to help, but tickling isn’t always the answer.”

Mr. Tickle slowly turned to face him.

“Look, Mr. Bump. It may sound dumb but…”

Mr. Tickle fell silent for a few minutes before he huffed, “Look, the reason why I wanted to come isn’t because of to tickle, but I like spending time with you. Besides, you’ve been through a lot and I thought a tickle could help. Again, I’m sorry.”

Mr. Bump slowly smiled, “It’s okay, Mr. Tickle. I’ll admit, I may get annoyed at you, but you have no bad intentions, and you’ve been nothing but kind to me. You can say I feel lucky with you.”

Mr. Tickle’s eyes went wide in surprise.

“R-really?!”

Mr. Bump hummed.

“Yes, really.”

Mr. Tickle blushed a bit before he spoke.

“Look, you know how you shouted at me earlier?”

Mr. Bump sighed in shame.

“Yeah.”

“Well, I was gonna ask��� do you need help?.”, Mr. Tickle fidget his fingers as he bit his bottom lip.

Mr. Bump chuckled.

“I suppose if you can get some stinging cream and put it on the marks.”

“And some tickles?”, Mr. Tickle smirked.

Mr. Bump rolled his eyes with a small smile, “Yes, Mr. Tickle but when we get to my house.”

Mr. Tickle grinned with joy.

“Yay!”

There, he began to tickle Mr. Bump on the truck as the blue man yelp and laughed, “NO! Stop! Hahahahaha! No! Not now! The traffic could go green! Hahahahaha! Please, wait!”

Despite Mr. Tickle won’t change, Mr. Bump wouldn’t change a thing about him as he’s such a sweet and playful Mr. Man with good intentions, even if it leads to some calamity.

Day 25: Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr in “New Discovery”Augtickletober2024

Summary:  This takes place in X-Men United when Charles and Xavier are working together, gathering mutants.  They get to know each other and Professor X discovers her has another use for his powers.

Warnings: This is a tickle fic, so if that’s not your thing, don’t read.  Some swearing.  All fluff.  Ler: M Lee M

Erik and Charles returned from a long trip, back to the mansion, when they kept working on bettering their powers.  They would question each other to see if something else could be revealed.  One day, Erik was getting a bit antsy and wanted to go back out for more mutants. 

“Charles, the more mutants we can get, the bigger and quicker our army will form!”

“That’s not why we’re doing this Erik, and you know that.”  Charles said calmly, sipping some tea in a large, oversized chair, as Erik was pacing.  “Calm yourself.”

“We need to move now.  More and more of us are being discovered and being tested on.  We need to save them!”

“And we will, but all in due time.”  There was a pause in the conversation and Erik finally took a cup of tea and sat in another chair, facing Charles.

After a few moments of silence, Erik asked, “Have you been able to discover anything new in your mind, Charles?”  Erik asked calmly.

“Actually, I think I may have.  This was completely accidental too.”  Charles was grinning now, but almost trying to hide it.

“Oh, Charles, come on now.  What was it?”

“Hmm, well, Raven happened to be in one of her more annoying moods to say the least, and she was not only frustrating herself, but me as well.  I tried to tell her to calm herself and she refused, so I said I’d make her.”

“And what did you do, put in a valley surrounded by beautiful flowers?” Erik joked, knowing that couldn’t possibly be true since Raven wasn’t that type of girl.

“No, but that’s a good idea for next time.”  Charles paused to clear his throat.  “I meant to engulf her with a pleasant euphoria feeling, but I may have missed the mark, because it ended up….”  Charles paused again and he looked at Erik smiling.  “tickling her.”

Erik sat forward in his chair more.  “Really?  Was she mad?”

“Furious!  You know how she gets.  But I love to hear her laugh, so I may have kept doing it for a few more seconds.”  Charles was laughing to himself now.  “It was a little mean, wasn’t it?”

Erik now had a huge smile and started nodding.  “Yes, but what a sight to see.  Did you know you could do that?”  Charles shook his head no.  Erik leaned back in his chair.  “I would have loved to see that!”

“Really?”  Charles asked, slyly.

“Yes, anytime you can best her, it’s………” Erik’s voice trailed off and Charles was leaning back in his chair, fully confident in himself and his new found powers.  Charles was slowly taking a finger to his temple, staring right at Erik.

“Charles, what are you doing?”  Erik asked with a shaky voice.  He received no answer, and instead started feeling what felt like butterflies in his belly, but they started to target in.  “Ch-charlessss, do-do-don’t you you dare!”

“Dare what, Erik?  I haven’t the foggiest idea what you are talking about.”  Erik had it in mind to throw something metal and blast Charles in the face, but he couldn’t focus as the pressure was getting stronger and circling his sides and mid-section.

“Th-thiiiissss issnnnn’tttttt faaaaaairrrr!”

“Oh, I think this is quite fair, considering all the complaining you’ve been doing lately.”  Erik was curling up in a ball on the chair, shaking his head no, and squeezing his eyes shut, as if it would help.

Then Charles moved his head a little to the side and the pressure moved down to his hips and legs.  Curling in a ball wasn’t doing much anymore, so Erik’s body went limp and fell to the floor.  Gasping and small laughs leaked through his lips.  Charles laughed out loud at this.

“Why Erik, it looks like something took your legs out from right underneath you!  Are you ok, old friend?”  Charles asked with concern in his voice.

Erik still shaking his head no, couldn’t keep in the muffled laughs anymore.   “Naaahahaaahahaaa, waaaaaiiittttt!”

“Wait for what?”  Leaning in Charles asked his friend who was kicking at thin air now, while lying on the floor.  “Oh, maybe this?”

Then the pressure immediately went to his feet.  That did him in.  “Chaaaaarllllleeeesssssss, nooooooo, bahahahhahahahhahhaaaaaaa!”  Erik was now pushing his feet into the ground like that would do something, and then it immediately stopped.  Erik was laying on the ground, breathing heavily, not saying anything, still smiling.

“Well, my good friend, I think you need a drink!”  Charles said as he popped up out of his chair, walking to the bar area, pouring a drink to hand to Erik.  Erik sat up and took it, still sitting on the floor, leaning against the chair he fell out of.

“Remind me never to piss you off, Charles.”  He took a sip of his drink.  “I need a way for you not to get in my head!”  he said giggling at the thought.

“That’ll never happen, old friend.”

The end.

[ticklish-touch]

I wish I was psychic. And yeah, fair, the One Piece art style can get a little mutant-/potato-looking depending on the character and piece.... Speaking of mutants, here's a twofer - one I'm curious about and one I already know you like~! How hot are Nightcrawler and Beast from X-Men?

That's a good way of describing it, lmao

but YESSS KURT MY BOIII

Not My Type | Alright | Cute| Adorable | Pretty | Gorgeous | LORD MERCY

Lissen. I've had a crush on this devil since X-Men Evolution. LOVE his design, he's pretty af and has such a gremlin personality with a heart of gold.

Wolverine and the X-Men was a pretty decent series, but I fully admit I mainly only watched it for Kurt. The way they showed off his powers and acrobatics is so smooth. And his voice actor did a great job, lord mercy

AND OF COURSE I GOTTA MENTION THE FACT THAT HE IS A CANON TICKLE MONSTER

Now if we could just have one fucking decent interpretation of him in a movie that isn't ugly as sin or written terribly, I'd be even happier. Yall have no idea how salty I am that the movie named Nightcrawler isn't about Kurt.
