When they are overworked:
He always makes it very obvious when he is in bad mood but he's more reluctant to show he is overworked. After all his work is his passion. But, let's face it, he often puts too much on his plate. And he is very empathetic and finds himself doing a whole lot of diplomatic work to help his friends get together. And how could he say 'no' to proposition of solo concert? Or not listen to some drama? Or...
So he's just not sleeping as good as usually, he's more pale. Acts nervous and is pretty jumpy.
There are not many things that can help him when he's in such state. When all the projects ends, that's when he can go back to normal. But most indeed there are things that can soothe him – playing for his own pleasure or when someone plays for him, long walks especially when it's a bit windy, if his s/o prepares a dinner he's on cloud nine.
He's got this cool attitude that he never breaks but he snaps at others easier and more often when he's tired. He's an awful companion to play cards during this period, he gets extremely competitive.
When the day is particularly busy his perfect hairstyle is not as perfect (but it may be considered hot I guess 🤷♀️)
Chilling with a drink helps him get a hold on himself pretty well. He also needs some activities that allow to "slow down". Thanks to them he has a time to relax and when it's time to act, he has more energy and clarity of mind that's so vital.
Being overworked is not much of an issue of his. It happens but there are more reasons of him being unhappy than this one. Nevertheless, especially earlier in his life, when he was a member of Suicide Squad, he tended to take a lot on himself.
He gets so quiet with outbursts from time to time. His head is full of thoughts so angry and hateful he just feels exhausted with them. He sleeps worse than usual and the bags under his eyes get darker and more visible.
After the job is done, it's the time he can finally breathe freely. Before that not much can help him, actually nothing. There are things that can make him feel a little bit better but not forget about his problems. He loves the taste of baked chestnuts and eating them especially while strolling is something that makes him feel like main character in a movie. And since he rarely feels like a main character of his own life, this is needed.
He's unable to separate his life into different parts. He has no distance to any matter, everything affects him, everything is important and needs to be solved or done right away.
He gets very nervous, impatient and impulsive. Clenches his jaws and fists a lot. Suffers from lots of headaches.
Except solving all the things he needs to, the things that can help him are, surprisingly even to him, sweets. Give him a milkshake and he'll be happy, promise!
Very similarly to Black Adam, Bito doesn't know how to distance from his work. Whatever he does is something important to him, related to his country, himself or ideas he considers valuable.
It's more difficult to keep everything to his standard once he's exhausted but he's still trying, exhausting himself even more.
What would really help would be learning how to change his insight and to chill in a comfy tracksuit but that's unimaginable to this man. He surrounds himself with music instead. Anything that moves him, make him feel emotion and related to what is he going or went through.
Just like his brother, what makes her feel overworked is not work, it's her own mind. It's seems to be always rushing and mostly – into awful scenarios.
Her upper body tenses to hard she can feel pain and discomfort. She becomes meaner, cruel even. Tries to run away from everything than makes her stressed out.
Meditation is something she tries the most because she feels it's working. Long baths as well. What calms her are definitely scents so it accompanies her during these activities. Scented candles are always lit by her before she goes to sleep. She also burns bayleaf – Romans believed it helps to fall asleep.
It's more too much thoughts about past, current and future events than too much work when it comes to him. Although with his state of mind even the simplest job can be a lot to handle.
He grits his teeth a lot. When sleeping it's so loud it's surprising he's not waking up from it. He's very tense to the point his muscles hurt.
Can he truly be free from worries? No. But he's trying! It sounds like a scam but indeed spending time with people he trusts and consider friends cheers him up a lot.
This man is an epitome of being overworked. Was he ever not-overworked? I mean, he studied 4 majors in different countries, he knows over 5 languages and still studied the rules of magic. Bro, like, calm down
That being said, others can sense he is more-overworked-than-usually earlier than him. He gets aware after throwing second or third book to the floor. He generally starts throwing things and clenches his jaw so hard it's a miracle he doesn't get trismus!
Believe it or not, his favourite activity that helps him relax is pampering himself. Face masks, exfoliation with ghassoul clay, meditation. He knows a lot about beauty and magic rituals from different parts of the world, of course he is using this knowledge according to his needs.
He does not have something you may call private life and professional (villainous) life separately. So how could he be overworked? Well, it does happen rarely but he gets anxious and stressed out quite often.
He is more quiet than usually and just emanates cold. Trying to interact with him is like trying to talk to a block of ice.
What calms him the most is nature. Chirping of birds, sighting of animals busy with their lives. According to season he picks what he can – flowers, leaves, chestnuts, acorns – and creates decorations out of it.
He's a kid but he has a lot to do! Villainry won't just "happen", right? It's a thirsty work but since all of the Old Folks fail, of course, he has to act!
But nothing can prepare a teenager for the crushing feeling of overworking. It hits him HARD. He's a very energetic person so getting tired is just... So not like him! So bored! So exhausted! He's going to sleep so early lately. Is he turning into old man already?
He's stuffing his face with sweets of all kind and gets very mean. He's always down to mischief but when he's in such mood he's unbearable.
Truth be told this is probably the best way for him to wind down. The others just have to survive it.
+ just because I feel like it
He's a scientist, OF COURSE he gets overworked and stressed a lot. Being surrounded with people calling themselves villains is a lot to handle.
His hair and eyes looks so dull. The skin on his face looks grey and he doesn't even have the energy to shave.
Distancing himself from his work, helping himself to a colourful cocktail (okay, many of these) and basically acting like he's on holiday usually works like a charm.
