Unfunny wanky stereotypes

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Is there a list of 15 essential icons besides the one posted under resources? I always use it, but I'm wondering if anyone ever made their own alternatives, just out of curiosity.

i feel like i need at least three different "neutral" expressions because it's my most commonly used icon and i hate using the same one over and over again

but then that cuts down on my space for other expressions

so yes i would like other variations of the list too if anyone has one so i can try to compensate

ayrt

Yeah, this is my problem, too. I usually just try to balance as best as I can but I've never been able to strike gold, really.

I've noticed a lot of characters having several neutral icons. I didn't used to have them but I've since come to appreciate their versatility.

I always try to have an icon where the character has closed eyes. That can be used for 'sleepy', 'shy' or 'indifferent' depending on what kind of overall expression they have.

i kinda icon as i go. like if you're voicetesting and you write a tag and realize none of your icons fit, take a few minutes to go through saved icon posts to find the perfect one. it makes you slow at first but i think it's really handy and practical; i usually end up with a solid set for when i'm seriously playing the character, this way.

I have done this a few times and it seems like a good way to find suitable icons.

some characters need 5 different happy icons, some need zero. it depends on the character.

op of one of the lists

The list I made was originally just my reference of expressions that I'd probably need. If you know your character doesn't show certain emotions often, then drop those for what you'll need.
