There’s a lot of love for the blob emoji designs in the Android community. The cute, bubbly, yellow faces invaded our screens many years ago, stole our hearts, then disappeared somewhere around 2017. Still, five years later, I find myself wanting a genderless, skin-tone-less, thumb-shaped blob more than any modern realistic emoji. I have too much reality in my life, thankyouverymuch, I don’t need the smiley I send to my friend to be an exact replica of my face, eyes, mouth, nose, teeth, and hair.
But I digress. We’re not here to discuss the verisimilitude of modern Android emoji. Instead, we’re going to talk about how we can bring the blobs back, for one more glorious run.
