They also have tons of other re-posted tickling art from other artists. It appears he's added a "None of these pics are mine, I respect the artists!!" disclaimer to his profile. Which is a tiny step in the right direction, but...come on, dude. If you have the time to rip these artists' works from the internet, re-upload them to your Insta, and add shitty RP starters to every one of them, you damn well have time to at least NAME the artists.

I'm considering making an Insta for my TK content just so I can tell people who repost my work to knock this shit off

Ugh, it's so good to finally be settled in and to be making art again! And with Halloween coming up, I wanted to get a fitting piece done

And what better way to celebrate than illustrating my literal Tickle Monster, Ragaeli, playing with a helpless ticklish victim? He even decided to be festive for the season and wear his Jester outfit

His victim here is vaguely how I picture the character Madelyn to look, in the story I wrote about Ragaeli last Halloween. But I purposely left her description vague so readers could visualize her how they wanted to, and she looks way too much like my other redhead named Gwen anyways, so it's kinda just up in the air

...I also tried to make it look like he was tickling her armpit without grabbing her boob, but that's pretty difficult with his giant gorilla hands But hey maybe she's into that~

This embodiment of Gargalesis feeds off of adrenaline, laughter, and that desire that 'lees have to be chased down and forced to cave into their ticklish fantasies. He loves nothing more than to pull a hapless person into his realm of Nightmares with him - but not to torment them with actual nightmares. He actually protects people from the terrors of their deep dark subconscious, so that he can keep them all to himself and show them that they can laugh their fears away, and that fear can actually be quite thrilling...especially when they know a tickle-hungry maniac like him is hellbent on reducing them to a puddle of helpless laughter~ 

He will demand you to run, he will chase you relentlessly down dark hallways and through rooms while laughing like a madman, he will taunt and tease and remind you that he will catch you and tickle the living daylights out of you one way or another, that you can run, and hide, but never escape 

And when he catches you, his attack is immediate and ruthless. All the built up anxious anticipation, all the heightened nerves making you feel even more sensitive than ever before... It'll explode into screams of laughter, and the most exciting, electrifying bombardment of nerves and an emotional high the likes of which you've never experienced. 

As for people who, like myself, prefer a more gentle style of tickling, and may find this scenario or illustration genuinely terrifying: Keep in mind he does not use his torturous methods on people who genuinely dislike it. Making a person cry from anything other than tears of laughter and unbearable pleasure, and especially making them distressed from his favorite activity, would be heartbreaking to him. He was brought into existence through human laughter and joy and risky mischief, after all. And as such, he specifically targets people who crave the most merciless of ticklish attacks. He is highly intuned to peoples' thoughts and emotions, which he uses to help him gauge the right amount of excitement with adrenaline and dread. He always allows his victim the use of a safeword - but he will choose the word, which will always be something ridiculous to keep the mood playful, like 'Hullabaloo' or 'Canoodle' or 'Fuddy-Duddy' ...Usually words that would otherwise be impossible for a victim to actually say in the middle of their desperate laughter, but even just attempting them or thinking them is enough to get him to stop. And then crack up from the absurdity that is human language.

On top of that, he has more than enough ways to make sure his victim enjoys every moment of his ruthless tickling...

He can strengthen the heart and lungs, disable bodily functions that would cause embarrassment or otherwise cause inconvenience, and will even convert any and all pain into pure unadulterated tickle and heal any scratching or bruising (unless his victim is a masochist, which is also entertaining to him). He will balance out any panic with genuine excitement, elevate a victim's sensitivity two, three, five or even ten-fold and still ensure they can endure every moment of it... Until they give into madness and laughter and ecstasy and let him have his way with them all night long until they black out...

Then, they wake up to the feeling of their limp, tickle-abused body completely buzzing and sweating and trembling from the aftermath of their "Nightmare".

So, Happy Halloween everybody... And sweet dreams~!
