What's your tell?

My tell is probably making fun of myself and my characters in my own poses.

This might be why I’m having a hard time RPing lately.

I’m sure I have a lot, I just don’t know them. Which is fine. I spell out ‘okay’. All the four letters. It has four letters damnit.

Run-on sentences from hell.

I suspect my tell is I use too many commas. Like, they’re grammatically correct, but I use too damn many of them.

I have no tells. Picking me out is impossible. I may be there right now, RPing with you.

You wouldn’t know it.

I’m that good.

Hi, I like playing chubby strong women. I don’t -always- but it’s a thing. Or a person of color. Or both.

I do a stupid thing where I reference multiple parts of someone else’s pose, or multiple people’s poses, with “As to Daisy’s comment,” or “Regarding her last point,”.

Hurtful. So hurtful.

O-k-a-y

Okay.

So here are some of mine, now that I’ve had time to think on the question:

Redundancy in words (using them multiple times in the same sentence), typically terms like “also”, “however”, “yet”. “Yet he didn’t blah blah blah yet.”
I tend to insert dialogue even for characters that are more taciturn by nature. It’s like I can’t get my own characters to shut up, or that a pose (usually) feels incomplete without some form of dialogue.
OOC Obsessing over specific thoughts or ideas out loud to the point it’s like that therapy scene in Death Becomes Her when the other members start freaking out. I get very attached to some ideas sometimes and it’s extremely difficult to walk away from them.
