I just wanna know if the Pigeon is meant to be a positive reaction or a negative one because you can interpret it as either:

[Spoiler (click to open)]
(a) Playfulness -- "I like this cute comment. Here is a cute pigeon to bless your day"; a companion of the playful Ghost but while still playful, it's a slightly more dignified type of playfulness because pigeons are proud, regal creatures who know how to strut.

(b) Passive aggressiveness -- "Coo... coo...", as in "Cool, cool... anyways, moving on...", aka "Sure, Jan... whatever you say...". It could also mean "chasing crumbs" like some of you mentioned.


The Ghost:

[Spoiler (click to open)]- It's goofy. It's playful. It's fun.
- "Your joke/sarcasm/sass has killed me. I am now dead from laugher/amusement."


The Pawprints are definitely positive. I'm thinking more along the lines of:

[Spoiler (click to open)]- "YAS!! Lemme get my hands/paws all over that!!" for thirsts posts
- Parasocial playful banter with whatever animal is posted


The Okay one I could do without.

[Spoiler (click to open)]We already have a lot of positive Reacts and if we're to interpret it as a passive-aggressive one, the Thumbs Up seems way more effective and personal if you wanna end a convo you did not sign up for.

(I'm so sorry for all the edits!! I didn't have my morning coffee yet and messed up my <>'s)
