#the great draft purge of August 2024 lmao

[bottomvalerius]

hmm small mannerisms I need to incorporate with the blorbos more:

Sam grasping at his neck to self soothe, which is a habit he developed when he was collared 24/7

Donna & floor time, particularly bathroom floor time, to stop an impending panic attack (huh?? Me self projecting??? No way)

Donna’s stutter in general (another self projection lol); particularly shows up when they’re anxious and worsened after dying and being resurrected

Been toying with the idea of Damien using some sort of illusion magic at all times to make himself look more put together (basically like a tik tok filter on at all times LOL), which drops when he’s agitated, anxious, or is otherwise has his concentration severely thrown off (since he no longer has magic mood ring hair, I want him to have some sort of magic tell lol)

He and Valerius tugging and pulling their hair (Damien would probably go so far as to actually pull his hair out) & in general skin picking

I like haven’t written Sam having a full on violent meltdown yet but like he has 110% destroyed entire rooms under distress LMAO
