As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of pretty things. And you know that I tag them with all sorts of emojis (i.e. 💎, 🏺✨, 🍾 with a 📜, etc.) So I’ve compiled a rough directory of what each means in this blog:
https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/blog_subscriptions
✨: a suffix signifying endearment or high regard
with a 📜: a suffix signifying extended thoughts, especially in the caption or tags.
🤚👀✨: an expression of true (or joking) desire, heavily reliant on context
🍾: paintings and drawings from 1000 to 1900, or by artists born before 1900.
🏺: vessels (i.e. cups, bottles, urns) or ceramics (i.e. tiles, clay figures, bricks.) A personal favorite!
🍽: dinnerware, another personal favorite
🗿: non-ceramic sculptures/utensils
💎: anything collectable or great for display. When used with 💍, the emoji for jewelry and accessories, it often in emphasis of each other
🏢: buildings and building elements
🛍: low-poly or 2D assets of particular cuteness and beauty
🖼: paintings, drawings, and pages of quality, especially from 1900 to the present.
📜, 📖: literary mediums and artworks of quality (i.e. pages, books, covers, filial caps) of quality, especially from before 1900, if not 1700.
🖌, 🖋: brushes, pens, and related materials (i.e. ink-sticks, ink-blocks, inkwells) Happens more than once!
🧳, 👜, 🎒, 👛: objects for carrying other objects on one’s person, as well as for being seen. 👜 and 👛 are especially used for ones of discrete or handy quality (i.e. inro, pouches, etc).
👗, 👔, 👞, 💍: garments, jewelry, or particularly fine accessories. 💍 in particular is often used with 💎 to emphasize each other’s points.
🪑: anything relating to a chair, dining area, or seating area, especially of a public or professional tenor
🛋: anything relating to a couch or lounge area—really any object or space conducive to long, reclined reflection
🛏: anything related to a bedroom
🪴: anything related to a garden or patio
🚽: anything related to… that sort of space
🛁: anything relating to a bathtub or bathing space
🗡: weapons, armor, and tools of war in general
Hopefully this offers some measure of clarity to what goes on in this… blog.
