@jacel I use them the same way as I use smiles! Eg, all the time as a defensive mechanism! :D (I do sometimes use them solo, and when I do, I hope they’ll be seen as the expression I want to convey to the other person, because they can’t see me smile or hear me laugh in real life! I shall now be aware that they may be seen differently, in different contexts!)

@Kestenan yeah, it's specifically 'in isolation' and often 'in response to an expression of stuff being Real Bad' that it stings.

@Kestenan like, expressions? They are at least 'i an expressing this response I am having'. That translates. It's the same as the sticker thing. Stickers in concept? Oh, hey, I can collaboratively express things in little comics with my friends! Stickers in practice? [My character does the Pacha face] [oh! My character also does the Pacha face] [a third person joins in with their character doing the Pacha face]
