Fun Tres boy Dialogue tips I’ve picked up.

limpblotter:

Merle’s dialogue: adding chuckles in mid-sentences. Old slang, like “hooligans, cahoots, and hoopla”. Repetition, “fellas fellas fellas”, standing one sentence then stopping and forgetting/going to a new thought completely. 

i.e. “Guys, guys look I know things are looking a little finicky but as long as we…you know…heh…actually I had no idea where I was going with this I just wanted a turn to yap haha!” 

Magnus’s Dialogue: EXCITED/CAPS. Addresses the last thing anyone says. Tehe’s when talking about something silly/cute. Long winded speeches when passionate. Very polite, angry animal metaphors. “He growls a threat. Snarls a retort”

i.e. “MERLE YOU LITERALLY HAD THE LAST WORD IN!” He barks out, “Anyway I think we should really like-prioritize and do what is most important…like petting this dog, tehe!” 

Taako’s dialogue: (my fav) unnecessary cursing / random (almost generated) phrases. Layer on a thick layer of bullshit over sarcasm. (One word responses when stressed). Stutters + Uh’s/Um’s when he starts to form a plan or make a point. And of course, include the iconic self addressing. 

i.e. “I-I’m not saying saying that I, Taako, have uh-uh better plan but like…y’all ass minions are clueless without me.”
