... you RP a herbalist sort of character, realise you know nothing about that, and your "quick research so you can pull it off" turns into a (so far) 10 pages long document on the healing lore of herbs and gems/minerals, particularly those actually found ingame.
... you draw your character(s) at least 50 times (if you can draw), because dang it, they don't look perfect yet.
... you have a folder of 220+ images labled 'aesthetics' that you don't really use for anything other than browsing through when considering character-related things.
... you make up about a dozen random little stories about crap that happened to your character growing up, because it makes them a bit more three-dimensional to you. Not important little stories, nothing that's written down anywhere. But you know that when Bob The Miqo'te was 8, he slipped on a rock, hit his head, and had to spend a week in bed.
