What are some of Coffee's triggers? Like does he get freaked out by loud sounds (fireworks, thunder?, etc.) that sound reminiscent to gunshots? Or like when it's too crowded in an area will that give him a panic attack?
We all know he likes playing video games but do those games sometimes trigger him? If Coffee was playing COD would it send him spiraling? What do you think?
Love your work so far! <3
Hello! Excellent question!
Coffee's triggered by the "typical" stuff; gunshots, crowds, screaming, explosions, etc however, he has few strange/silly things that tend to send him into a panic/anxiety attack (it depends on the day which, really.)
He steers clear of any video game that has any of those things and tends to lean more towards story based games, platformers, or racing games. Although, a few video games have indeed sent him spiraling, mostly ones Wine picked up for him while the older was out and about (COD being one of them).
To add, a few uncommon triggers for him are gas ovens, vintage films, and small white dogs. He tries his best to avoid all of these things, in real life, and in the video game sphere. Though, he used to work at a pet supply store before leaving Ebott, so sometimes it was unavoidable.
He can sort of understand the "typical" triggers even if it annoys him that they upset him. However, the uncommon ones tend to make him embarrassed, so he tries not to let those show outwardly. To other people, he still looks his typical sort of mortally terrified, just quieter.
Sorta like this!
This took way too long to draw, hence the lateness in my reply to you. I hope that's okay! I didn't start out planning to line it or even color it, but well. Here we are!
Thank you for your question 💛 I hope I answered it well enough! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
