      Or what do you THINK your tell is? I feel like one of mine is that I always end up playing weirdos. Even when the character is mostly serious, there’s always something kind of weird going on. Sense of humor, hobbies, fixations. Something.

            I play all sorts of characters. So I guess my biggest tell is that I don’t TS. I’ll flirt, write innuendo, and even make out. But the moment a pose drops the word “turgid,” it’s time to FtB.

            If you think you may have TS’d with me, I can assure you, no you haven’t.

              Oh god. I’d much rather hear what OTHER people think my tells are. I have no idea myself.

                I have no idea. I do think all my characters end up having the same sense of humor but… ???

                  Actually, you know what it fucking is? I compulsively answer OOC questions on channels.

                    I either play a goofy-ass manchild or a scary lady, and my sentences never fucking end.

                          Oof, yeah, I do that, and often with “Beat” or “A beat” because at some point I learned that usage and it has never left me.

                            @Roz You have KIND OF a tell with how and when you capitalize words. I haven’t cracked the code yet but ONE DAY I WILL.

                                It is almost impossible for me to break that sort of habit; I tried to drop it for a while (self-conscious about the correctness of my writing; I convey tone reasonably well with the style, but the technical quality of it is atrocious), but eventually just gave up. It is in my bones at this point.

                                  The fact that many of you are listing things I would have considered my tells means they aren’t my tells, I suppose.

                                  I feel I’m pretty fucking obvious, though, but couldn’t pin down why.

                                    I know I have distinct word usage patterns, I just can’t list any out at the moment.

                                      I know my usual thing is that I emphasize a lot of words by using * word *. I also know that I tend to play older characters, because my mind can no longer associate with being 20 anymore because anytime I try the character just sounds generally whiny.

                                      I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

                                          My brain does absolutely notice what other people use for their emphasis characters. Are you *this type*? Maybe /this type/? Or even //THIS type//? SOMETHING ELSE?

                                          I also tend to notice the folks who double space after periods, if only because it’s uncommon.
