i love the goofing off double chins and the too-loud near-obnoxious laughter, the gruff and scratchy voice in the morning when they’re too tired to bother with sounding soft, and the not brushing their hair bc they can’t be bothered to deal with and what are you going to do about it anyway?

In preparation for the upcoming Skeleton War, I will be reviewing skull emojis for accuracy, scariness, and overall charm!

Very skinny jaw- has he been starved? Nonetheless, a fearsome and menacing skull who would be an asset to the Skeleton Army. Also the only one who has a chin. 7/10

The 2D look is not working here. This looks like a Halloween window decal that would fall off after two days. 2/10

Microsoft’s bold outlines usually create a disturbing image, but I feel likeit works for the skull emoji. He looks like he is emerging from the void. 6/10, looks a little like an electric socket.

He is so sad! The tilted eye sockets make him seem like he has lost all hope in the world. 3/10, pitiful and not useful to the Army.

This is a socially isolated jellyfish. 0/10

A sturdy and big-boned fellow! He would carry through his military deities with strength and perseverance. 9/10, slightly neanderthalic.

Looks like a tiny ghost. 3/10 for the nice shading on the temples.

This resembles a plastic bag with holes in it. Or an octopus with a mustache. Either way not a skull -1/10

NOW THIS IS A SCARY SKULL! He’s unsettling but that’s the look we’re going for. Supermodels envy those cheekbones. 11/10

Sickly. Brings pestilence and famine upon the skeleton army. Death to all who look upon him.

1. You might not know this, but when you comment on our fanfics, we do a happy dance. Your comments motivate us to write more and update more often.

2. We’re eternally grateful that you took the time to make any comment and we want to squeal and hug you for it because we know it’s easier to not bother. 

3. We take your words to heart.

4. Your theories on what happens next are one of our favourite things. To know that you’re putting so much thought into our little story is the greatest feeling.

5. We feel guilty when we don’t reply. Please know that we want to reply to every comment, but sometimes we’re overwhelmed. Sometimes, the level of human interaction involved in replying is too much for us introverted types. Sometimes, there are so many comments, we have to prioritise writing the next chapter over replying. Please, don’t think you did something wrong if we don’t reply (see point 1).

6. We love constructive feedback - anything we can do to improve our writing is a Good Thing. If you’re being critical for the sake of it, though, that isn’t helpful. At best, we’ll berate ourselves all day for it, at worst, we’ll stop writing. 

7. Phrases like “I’m sorry, but…” and “don’t take offense, but” will put our hackles up. If you *are* sorry and you *don’t* want us to take offense, rethink what you’re going to say. Is it really necessary? Is it worth sending us a private message with constructive feedback instead?

8. THANK YOU!!!

9. THANK YOU!!!!
