Emoticons are punctuation marks, letters, and numbers used to create pictorial icons that generally display an emotion or sentiment. (That's actually where the portmanteau “emoticon” comes from: emotional icon.) ... After this, emoticons were a big hit among Internet users.

aka not emojis (there is another thread for that lol)

@lehmanf here!

Okay. So this is my favourite emoticon.

No, no, that's an emoji. There's a thread for that, too

Emoticons are basically things you can make by things on your keyboard, like ^-^ or c: or whatever. Emojis are things like you just posted. I'll tag you in the emoji thread too

I took alliyah´s chicken to create some sort of swan.

hahaha you could probably change the periods to white text so that they're not visible

Maybe I want to show how the swan dodges bullets.
