Always and forever will I be an equals-eyes bitch - I feel like it makes every single emoticon more friendly and earnest~.

Compare :3 to =3; the latter looks like they'd slip a dollar into your pocket and run away mischievously like they pulled an ace prank!

Also |3 to signify, "Oh my goodness gracious..." and "Ye, I'm content~."

There's also 'w', which I feel like is the best possible interpretation of a neutral expression.

I use a few of them, and I've been trying to replace discord emotes with old style emoticons in my vocabulary.

I use c: and :c as simply expressions of happiness or sadness.

>.> for embarrassment, or acknowledgement of something lewd.

>.< is for wincing or expressing frustration.

;=; for crying (but not in a serious way).

>:3c and >;3c are the most important ones. >:3c is just playful, but >;3c is flirty.

I oh and I used to use :I a lot when my friends would do something DUMB but that doesn't happen quite so often anymore (usually, I hope)

:) - "I'm being a little shit" or "I'm screaming internally"

:') - "bless their heart" or "I'm suffering but I'm being strong about it"

. >:I - angry pout but not very serious

:3 - "I have said something that's going to make someone send me a screenshot of them hovering over the block button on my account"

OwO - strong interest, with gremlin energy
