Well Maybe They Do
And I Couldnt Find Anything To Denote My Fangs So I Had To Replace Them With Symbolic Dimples
But Still Its Closer Than
Whatever Character It Is You Typed
I Dont Even Know How To Type That

[databoner]

Since when were fangs a requirement for making faces online? I don't refuse to use a face because it doesn't have glasses.

You don't have these keys on your keyboard?

┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

[glowsferatu]

Id Like Them Better If They Had Fangs
And No I Have Maybe Two Of Those Keys

[databoner]

Have you heard of the Alt key?

[glowsferatu]

I Know Which One Is The Alt Key
I Also Know There Isnt An Any Key
But The Alt Key Doesnt Do That
Most Times It Doesnt Do Anything

[databoner]

Do me the favor of pressing Alt while pressing 1 on the number pad.

[glowsferatu]

Wait
Okay Where Is The Alt Key On My Phone I Cant Find It

[databoner]

Well this isn't going to work if you're using a phone. Don't you have a real computer?

[glowsferatu]

I Have One Yes But You Sent A Text Message To My Phone
I Probably Use My Phone Or Communicator For This Sort Of Thing A Lot More Really
At Least These Days

[databoner]

Next time you're on a computer, then.

[glowsferatu]

So In Other Words This Will Be Completely Useless In My Typical Testing Habits

[databoner]

Then don't complain. I'm trying to teach you something new.

[glowsferatu]

But Wouldnt It Be Better To Teach Me Something That I Can Actually Use
Its Been Years Since My Messaging Was Primarily Done From A Computer

[databoner]

If your communicator or phone doesn't have a section for special keys, then you aren't going to be able to do the same symbols without copying and pasting them every time, which is a huge hassle. You are destined for a future of boring emoticons.

[glowsferatu]

Or Just Abstaining From Their Use
Which Is What I Usually Do

[databoner]

Or just abstaining from their use.

[Boring.]

[glowsferatu]

[ she's a longstanding proponent of abstinence. it comes with her sign. ]

It Isnt As Though My Life Has Been Less Full Without Them
Most Typefaces Dont Make Very Much Sense Anyway

[databoner]

[You're never going to fill a quadrant with that attitude.]

They make perfect sense.

Perhaps, just not to an alien of human culture. It's a very human thing to see "faces" everywhere, even on lifeless objects, due to our predecessors instincts of trying to find other humans. I don't know if the same applies to your culture.

[glowsferatu]

[ quadrants will be fine, but buckets are another matter. ]

Human Culture Didnt Invent Even Them
We Had Them Before You And They Were Just As Inane Then
Look At This One
>:?
What Even Is That
No Ones Mouth Can Do That Why Would Someone Even Use It

[databoner]

[ You don't need to fill buckets anymore, Kanaya. Your evil pink dictator no longer rules you. ]

It's meant to be a more symbolic representation of confused anger than a literal one.

[glowsferatu]

[ none that she needs to, just the ones she wants to. which is perhaps a more terrifying thought. ]

It Wasnt Anger Actually
Thats Just How She Looked Sorry I Should Have Removed That Part

I Still Think That Meaning Could Be Conveyed More Clearly In Other Symbolic Representations Of Emotions
Namely Words

[databoner]

Words convey meaning, but the idiosyncrasies of tone over text are lost without some form of input otherwise. Adding variety to capitalization, punctuation, or grammar can add to tone, but if one doesn't want to sacrifice anything there, faces are a good substitute.

[glowsferatu]

That Will Simply Be A Limitation In My Quirk
Which Im Not About To Change Now
Ive Developed Workarounds For Some Things But There Are Tones That Wont Be Conveyed Easily Through Text No Matter How You Express Them
Short Of Actually Qualifying Them Explicitly

But If I Had To Add A Disclaimer That Oh By The Way Our Entire Society Was Largely Shit But That Doesnt Mean Humans Do It Any Better
Id Be Typing It Almost Constantly

[databoner]

Say what you will of the human race.

But I'm personally offended by your dislike of my emotes. （￣へ￣）

[glowsferatu]

Well At Least I Know What That One Is Doing
Though It Is Odd That You Paranthesize Them
Ive Only Seen One Person Do That Before And She Wasnt Very Good With English
