“;-;” conveys a fundamentally different vibe as compared to 😭, even if both nominally mean “crying”
Same for “:)” vs. 🙂

Faces of different people after the party drugs hit
Summoning the most kawaii demon
Homer Simpsons pulling wishbone
Person organizing a line of dildos

People looking for missing glass eye of first person

Whenever a sentence needs some indicator of humor or sarcasm, I reach for :p
I’ll do a ;) most of the time for humor.
That’s taken as flirtation these days, FYI.
Think about when you wink at people IRL.

:(
We got these now 😒
Yeah, they standardized creativity out of textual expression.

Shows as “sup” between angle brackets. :(
Nice humblebrag about still feeling emotions.
Come to Lolland!
Kids today just won’t understand. T__T
I still miss the old :S from the msn days. Nothing really conveys the same emotion nowadays
I used (and still sometimes use) o_O for the same reaction
I first got on the Internet just as the shift from :-) to :) was happening, only geezers still used :-) and :) was the hip new thing…
In my time we used ^^ and -.-
