Emoticon Guide (now with added abbreviations!)

EMOTICONS

Because let's face it, when faced with a face going :3 you don't necessarily know what the heck is going on. Never fear, Icarus is here to explain what a : / is, and when to use it.

If I missed anything let me know and I'll add it.

Please don't @reply me in this thread....I get a message whenever someone comments already, so you're sending me two messages each time you @reply, and since I get really excited each time I get a message it's disappointing....and kinda annoying. :P

Yay, now people might actually get some of my more uncommon faces! :D

Nice thread.

Extremely useful, once again thanks for the info.

@Icarusflies: Stick with me, kid. We'll change the world.

@Samimista: >shrugs< WHY NOT! :D

@Icarusflies: =D Hooray! *throws streamers in the air* This thread is officially 20% more cooler. =D

so I'm apparently often super-enthusiastic, which is unsterstandable because I am :D

I also often use a mild annoyance face. that means I'm a mild annoyance to other people, right? :P

Cool

If only I had this when I first got to the Vine lol

You forgot IIRC

I use :P also for tongue in cheek, kind of like a JK taken to the next level.  

@RazzaTazz: That's completely accurate, I'll add that.

@YoungJustice: I have no recollection of what IIRC means. :P

IIRC - If I remember correctly

Shouldn't this be stickied?

@YourNeighborhoodComicGeek: Ah, thanks.

@ShootingNova: Maybe. Do you think it should be? I'm not really sure, but I'm always a little wary of sticky-ing my own threads.

Did you see my last post in page 1? I had some good emoticons. Also,I think you should sticky this.

@YourNeighborhoodComicGeek: I'll add the mustaches right away. ;)

And that's two votes for sticky-ing I'm seriously considering it. >_>

I say you should. It's helpful for the community :P

My awesomeness counts as 2 votes. I command thee to sticky this thread!

@ShootingNova: @YourNeighborhoodComicGeek:

I'm going to check with one of the other mods, then if they're cool I'll sticky it. :)

@Icarusflies: ......... :(

Alright then! And ShootingNova you defied the IMPORTANT RULE. For shame!!!

@Icarusflies: I give you permission to sticky this. Boom.

@ShootingNova: @YourNeighborhoodComicGeek: @NlGHTCRAWLER:

O_O

MY INBOX JUST EXPLODED

So many people @ replying lol. Sucks to be Icarus xD

@YourNeighborhoodComicGeek: Why did I have to make this a blooooooog? >whines<

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY MESSAAGGGEEEES?

>lies on the floor and cries<

@YourNeighborhoodComicGeek said:

So many people @ replying lol. Sucks to be Icarus xD

Haha.

@Icarusflies: (yeah, I did that on purpose :D) It's nothing when you wake up and then you do your daily PM's and then you get 32 PM's unnecessarily :(

@ShootingNova: (You are so lucky I am a merciful mod. SOOOO lucky. ;P)

Yeah, that happened to me this morning too. Because I keep being dumb and making threads that people actually decide to comment on as blogs.

(I'll spare you an extra PM because I pity you :P)

Same. This morning there was a bunch of people quoting others that just happened to quote me but had no relevance to me overall.

@ShootingNova: (I'll settle for pity if it keeps my inbox from being demolished)

I hate when that happens!

(Suks2beU :D)

I reckon.

*pretends to pity Icarus, then breaks into a trolldance*

@ShootingNova: (That raises a very valid, but mostly irrelevant point...do I put insulting abbreviations/emoticons on the list? Because I know a few good ones >_>)

@YourNeighborhoodComicGeek: >GASP< :O

YOU WERE A TROLL IN DISGUISE ALL ALONG!

@Icarusflies: (that was an accident, don't get me for it!) Perhaps....... :P

Yes. I tampered with time and made you accidentally make this a blog, intentionally, to make you suffer! Muahahahahaha!!!

@ShootingNova: O_o

Get you for what? You didn't do anything.

@YourNeighborhoodComicGeek: You....YOU EVIL BEING!!!!

Everytime you use an emoticon on the internet an angel is set on fire.

Please think of the angels.

You have no proof, I yield the blue bar, whilst you have the red one. You are the evil one!

@Icarusflies: For replying to you. Now I reply to you accidentally on purpose. :():
