The creator of Minecraft once said that the standardization of emojis via unicode stifles expression and linguistic creativity. Interesting to think about, but I'm more focused on the thought of making my own pretty pictures.

im gonna make my own emojis and use them instead of unicode ones (standardized to 32x32 pixels)

😀

even detailed emojis work OK at this resolution (oc belongs to @nyubun on twitter! art is by @cuunibunny on twitter!)

if only discord had inline image embedding
