as i sound like a broken record, i still cannot stop thinking about lightning with his freckles and rosacea and sally with her chronic arthritis + circulation issues in her hands… i offer you: more projection at the expense of lightning mcqueen and sally carrera
sally has a picking issue. it comes with her ocd, she cannot help it for the life of her, but her knuckles and backs of her hands are always sort of a mess of dry skin. no matter how many creams doc prescribes her to avoid stuff like this (along with the idea of a possible infection getting into those little cuts and gashes), it never works. it brings her a sort subconscious comfort that pisses her off when she realizes shes doing it.
at some point she tries wearing gloves to avoid it, but it just made her hands itchy and uncomfortable and she spent the entire day in an uncomfortable state of sheer anxiety. it drives her NUTS that she cant stop, but its literally just a godawful habit she cant get rid of.
sometimes it takes holding lightnings hand, or trying to divert her mind from the easy way out of her anxiety to be able to properly handle it and actually stray away from it, but in times of high anxiety (particularly races) doc will have to repeatedly remind her to stop hurting her hands and instead focus on something else. his reminders work sometimes, but it usually takes a few to fully stop.
lightning, on the other hand, does something similar but not as harmful to himself — rather the shirt hes wearing or the jacket he has on.
it becomes some kind of instinct to just. Chew. on the hem of the neck of his shirts when hes thinking or when he zones out. he doesnt always realize hes doing it, but he Most Definitely has a couple shirts with holes that he May or May Not have accidentally on purpose put there for comfort. because yeah, its a comfort thing too.
he finds it kind of annoying, but he’ll also instinctively pull part of his shirt over his face to think better. it sounds ridiculous, but it somehow ends up working out for him. when all else fails, chew on your shirts, apparently.
a lot of the time he also does it because Clothes are too tight. like he genuinely cannot stand the feeling of his shirt on his skin sometimes, so he’ll just do his best to Remove that feeling, and it just so happens to find its way over his face like a really bad mask.

and on your right you'll see 99% of the server in chaos, dying, trading, and murdering each other relentlessly, and on your left you'll see jimmy bigb and pearl acting out a legal drama over the ownership of a frog, a storyline that is so divorced from the rest of the server that literally none of their allies seem to know about it.

They'll never know.... They'll never know that Vox Machina's original name was the Super High Intensity Team (The S.H.I.Ts) and that Allura made them change their name for public relations reasons
