Very Necessary Emojis

In the heat of the moment, as we frantically ransack the default emoji keyboard for a little yellow face, desperate to convey an emotion that we know is probably too subtle or specific to have warranted Apple’s official attention, we die a little inside when we realize the perfect emoji for this situation…doesn’t exist. We so often settle for default emojis that capture a mere fraction of our full intended meaning, and it’s understandable—no one has really set out to solve this super important first-world dilemma—until now.  Very Necessary Emojis is a project about unlocking a layer of who we can be, even if it's "just over text," because those of us who text a lot get it. We have needs! We have feelings we're trying to express here! We don't want to just throw out a crying-laughing face — we want to show you that your joke was 6.5/10 funny, and also kind of dumb at the same time (umm, for example, I mean). This iMessage sticker pack is for those who not only want more, but need more. And on that note, it's been just about five years since I released this emoji pack, and over 250 weeks of updates! Initially released with just 72 emojis, VNE now has almost 400, with a new emoji added every Friday. To all of you OG fans, thank you so much for enjoying this thing I made! And to all you newcomers, I'm so happy to say there's so much more to come!
