Recently I've been thinking about what kind of tickle torture scenes I'd put into a movie, comic, TV show, etc., in a more-or-less seamless way.
On the lower end of this you have the boyfriend getting in a quick poke to his girlfriend's side (or vice versa). It's innocuous, doesn't take much narrative real estate, and most people won't think twice about it. But kinda lame in the tickling sense overall.
On the higher end, we have the villain tickling someone in a legit bid to torture/interrogate them. You might get great tickling in, but it's a bit cartoonish/childish and not very realistic.
Tickling in movies and stuff tend to be seen through a comedic or romantic lens, so I create my scenarios with those angles in mind. These are pretty typical scenarios that I've seen in fetish stories/videos, but I actually believe they could be pulled off in a mainstream way if handled correctly:
* The tried-and-true distraction. A woman gets a phone call and needs to maintain composure while her boyfriend drags his fingers up and down her soles. Or a guy is playing a video game while his girlfriend sits behind him poking his sides.
* Pedicure. Self explanatory person with ticklish feet suffers for literally everyone else's joy
* Some girl with dirty feet has them scrubbed clean by another person, giggling all the while
* Costume party? Some cocky guy tries to flirt with a girl dressed as a cop, who flirts back by cuffing him. He's soon in over his head as she tickle attacks him. Or some tipsy tomboy too lazy to make a costume wanders the party as a bedsheet ghost. She stumbles and trips to the floor drowning in sheets. Only her bare feet stick out, and you know the rest.
* Two characters mock wrestle, and the clearly weaker one evens out the playing field by tickle torturing the other
* Characters actually attend a renfaire. Everyone sets up their no-nonsense friend to be dragged to the stocks and tickled in a demo in front of spectators
So my question to you guys is what would your tickling scenario be and how would you incorporate it?
