Ches thought it would be a good idea to use a smoke machine for one of the band's indoor gigs, it did not end well. He somehow messed up the machine and filled the entire nightclub with smoke. Glam and Lordi were coughing all night.
Glam wasn't allowed toys as a child, so he did spoil Dee a little bit when he was a baby. Glam also owns a lot of Lego sets now. Ches bought him a small set as a joke at one point and he fell in love with them.
Glam really enjoys baths, to the point he'll stay in there an entire hour sometimes. He'll light a bunch of candles, put on some music, and run himself a nice bubble bath whenever he's feeling stressed or sore. He's even got a pink, sparkly rubber duck that Vicky likes to playfully tease him about.
Lordi never actually came out. He figured that if anyone thought he was straight that was their problem.
Glam got Heavy to do his chores without issue by assigning them as quests, and using sci-fi/fantasy roleplay (i.e., Heavy isn't doing his dishes, he's cleaning his tavern before he has to go on a mysterious quest to pick up sustenance at the grocery store).
Glam hates wearing suits, they make him incredibly uncomfortable. Not only because of the trauma, but due to sensory issues related to the fabric and how constrictive they are around his arms and neck.
Glam does not like anyone being in the kitchen with him when he's making dinner.
Anna and Lordi ran in some of the same circles back in the day. She accidentally hit on him at a party thinking he was a lesbian.
Ches thought Lordi's mom was a MILF, he got punched a few times for saying this.
The first time Glam tried pizza was after meeting Ches. He insisted on eating it with a fork and knife because he didn't want to get pizza grease on his fingers.
Glam is amazing at remembering passwords, Vicky is not.
The heat in the Panther never worked. Ches didn't mind too much since his trailer was rarely heated, and Bob radiated enough heat due to his size that he only wore a jacket when it got really cold, but Glam and Lordi were almost always freezing. Ches liked to make fun of them for being dramatic after both of them went out and bought big, fuzzy blankets for when it was cold in the van and would sometimes stay wrapped up in them the whole drive.
Ches and Lordi once got into a contest to see who could go the longest without sleep. Since they're both very stubborn, it only ended when Ches started hallucinating really badly, and Lordi drank so many energy drinks that his heart started beating so fast he made Bob take him to the hospital.
Glam used to have an issue with the smell of cigarette smoke, but he was pretty used to it by the time Vicky came along because all of his bandmates in Whoarethosefreaksonstage smoked when they were on tour.
Glam was kinda weird about stimming in front of Vicky at first. His bandmates all had their own serious issues, and weren't going to pass judgement on him for acting a bit weird, so it didn't take him too long to be comfortable enough to not suppress his stims around them. Vicky, on the other hand, he was afraid of scaring off by being weird, but she had no issue with it, and chalked stimming up to just being another one of his quirks. She did do more research into it after Glam and Dee were diagnosed with autism.
When Glam gets really stressed/overstimulated and can't readily escape the situation he'll often start chewing on his bracelets. Its very rare for him to get to this point, however, especially since he's medicated for his other issues and did some research into coping strategies/healthier stims.
Bob was smart enough to never get wasted while the band was on tour. He knew there was no way his band mates would be able to get him back to the hotel, and Ches and Lordi got wasted to the point of not being able to walk way too often.
Lordi is terrified of spiders and large bugs in general. Ches had some fun with this while they were on tour.
When Heavy was born there were some slight complications and they kicked Glam out of the room so they could have more room to work. He chewed up one of his sleeves due to anxiety, but didn't have a panic attack and become a second patient, so he calls that a win because they told him nothing before kicking him out of the room, so he was incredibly worried.
If you tell Ches something is hot and not to touch it, he'll almost always grab it without a second thought. He did this multiple times with Lordi's hair straightener.
