My char names are usually two girls’ names from random non-English languages.

Tori

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,”.

As to
Regarding
As to
REGARDING

I just noticed I do it and I doubt it bothers anyone else but it sure bothers me

I dooooo this too. I want ppl to know I read their thing!

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.

I’ll never complain about a taciturn character saying something I can respond to lol

RightMeow nods.

Double post - I was going to correct my error in the previous one about not quoting correctly – but I consider it karma for being a jerk.

Mixing tenses? Fuckin’ rude.

Panic

Resurrecting an old thread because I am plagued by someone telling me once that they knew a character was me because I posed about thighs. I had forgotten about it, but now that I’m getting back into RP I think about it every single time I pose and wonder if I have a thigh fetish.

mietze

@Panic well I’m going to be disappointed if I have a scene with you and you don’t include a thigh or a ham in it.

Pax

The verb “cant”.

shit-piss-love

The character has obvious character flaws and/or an unpopular perspective.

sao

@Pax omg I am always canting my damn head

hellfrog

KarmaBum

@Panic IT WASN’T A CRITICISM

Panic

@KarmaBum I KNOW. But I think about it still to this day, while I tap my thigh thoughtfully.

But are you wearing thigh high stockings, just to get an extra use of the word thigh in there?
