Alright. Some people get confused when it comes to properly using your icons in a RP. That's okay. That's what I'm here for. Listen up, because I'm only going to be nice once.

Do not use the same more than two times in a row. Your icons are there to show your character's emotions. Using them more than two times in a row is creepy and uncreative. If your character's emotions stay the same a lot, upload similar icons! Not that hard, really. It's actually sort of fun to pick the different icons. It also cures cancer and make you pee rainbows. So do it. Also, if you can't find icons / you can't find a person that looks like your chracter, ask someone! I know one of our mods has all kinds of manga they can easily pull a character from! ♥

Also!

Don't over-photoshop your icons. It's tacky, and overdone. We'd also like to know what we're looking at, other than layers upon layers of photoshop filters. The simpler, the better, and it's less work on your part. Most of us just use simple crop-jobs. Effective, and they look good!

It's simple. Do it, and wonderful things will happen to you.
