    My friend and I still use “xD”, has this gone extremely out of fashion since I left middle school?

        I once broke up with someone because he couldn’t stop using ^^ after every sentence even in the middle of a serious discussion/argument

        I picked up

        . _.

        From somewhere ages ago and I find myself doing it by reflex now, that’s like the only one of those I ever really used but boy did it stick. The little bit of offset on the eyes in most fonts really gives it that je ne sais quoi that I crave.

      Considering I’ve heard a few people say “xD”, probably not. But hey, probably not that weird, there’s UwU which is often read that way.

      I’ve used xD since I began using the internet as a kid and I have no plans of stopping.

      i use it and wonder what people think when i do. they never seem to react negatively. maybe they’re silently judging me

      RuneScape got me out of the habit of doing this because it always forced the first letter to be a capital and the remaining to be lower-case.

      Xd just doesn’t have the same ring to it
