I am putting this blog on indefinite, possibly permanent hiatus. 

There is no dramatic reason for it. No woe is me crap, just kind of dropped interest at this point. Taking the vampire and tucking him away on Skype with his man. 

I still have @paintbyblood, though it’s been awhile since I’ve updated, but I have still have a lot of interest in RPing her. 

I am most active right now on @pettydabblex

Not deleting, so no worries on that, and I may return eventually. I’ve been in this fandom for well over a decade. I come and go, so I’m going for the time being. 

Thank you for everyone who’s put up with me and fostered my partnership and friendship.

• How’s their posture? There are more options than just sitting up straight or slouching a lot. What’s their most comfortable sitting position? Do they have a consistent posture or does it change depending on situation / present company? 
• How’s their etiquette? Do they hold the door for people behind them? How do they handle handshakes and other kinds of typical contact? Does their language change or become more formal when speaking to strangers? To their elders? To their superiors? 
• In a crowded space, do they get out of people’s way, or do people get out of THEIR way? 
• How do they point something out? Pointing their finger? Nodding their head? A flippant wave of the hand?
• What are their comfort gestures or self-touch gestures? Common comfort gestures include rubbing the back of the neck or gripping their own arms. Can they suppress these gestures or do they do them often?
• Also consider the character’s common reactions to common emotions. Do they whoop when they’re excited? Do they tremble when angry? 
• What parts of the body are the most expressive? Do they shuffle and stomp their feet a lot when agitated or excited? Are they a hand talker? Do they have an impressive range of motion with their eyebrows?
• How do they sound? Do their car keys jingle as they walk? Do they drag their feet? Do their heels clack resoundingly on hard floors? Do they breathe loudly? Do they fidget in ways that make a lot of noise?
• How do they handle eye contact?
• Any behaviors they reserve for moments when they’re alone? (Or possibly among family/friends that don’t care?) Do they pick their nose? Do they bite their toenails? Do they sniff their armpits? Or do they not care if people see behavior like this?
• Apart from comfort gestures, what else do they do to comfort themselves in trying times? What’s their go-to self care? What’s their comfort food? Where’s their safe space?
• What are they doing with themselves as they’re suppressing emotion? Lip biting, fist clenching, and avoiding eye contact are common methods of coping with strong emotions.
