What's your tell?
-
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 tall people.
-
More or less ace introvert nerd.
-
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.
-
My dashes – fuck traditional punctuation.

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.

The code is: When It’s Funny.

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.

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.
