You may have noticed that the world of reacting on ONTD has gotten a lot bigger:

Frank said "alright you whiners HERE YOU GO"

[likeanunmadebed]

Frank does read!

Every word you write, every dot you type - Frank is reading you!

[chungkingxpress]

I'm out of the loop, who's Frank?

[buries]

Frank is LiveJournal's mascot. If you were around 10ish years ago, whenever the website went down, you'd get a page that said "Frank's eating the wires". They made an account for him (recently?) and he replies.

[chungkingxpress]

Yes! I vaguely remember him, I didn't know he had an account now, lol.

[buries]

I used to ping him all the time about the vomit emoji reaction. Never thought he'd ever answer lol. I feel like his responses are a new development.

[carolinalily]

I didn’t understand this part

and a surprise emoji that will help us later (and is apparently not recognized by Microsoft)

Do you mean an emoji that conveys “surprise!” or do you mean a secret emoji that will be revealed later lol 😀

[sandstorm]

A bit of a joke because pigeon is such a random one that it's a surprise.

[__onthebound]

I thought of pigeon post!

[pseudonygma]

All you ONTD Professors must be proud. Y'all have us out here writing dissertations defending out interpretations of your artpop okays, pigeons and pawprints, lmao!

ONTD University has reached new heights, brining literacy, education, and passionate discourse among the masses.

I wanted the 🤢 one more, so this is perfect

[vaels]

I think the lesson here is: complain enough and loudly and eventually you'll get what you want!

I figure the nauseated face is for "That's disgusting." like when someone doesn't like a certain type of food. The puking one is is for like when Leo is dating another 20 year old.
