Dear: Whomever Might Be Reading,
I know that this method of communication is not new for most of you, but it is unlike anything I've ever really used before. I have discovered that one can make crude little faces to express emotion, like this - (: and ):
This made me curious as to what other things related to this electronic way of "speaking" I am ignorant about. Are there other faces? Are there rules about what might be forbidden? I find myself with more time than I know what to do with, and so any distractions in the form of advice would be helpful.
Thank you!
Sincerely: Thor Odinson

BTW writing in all capital letters means I'm shouting. You can also use more than one !!! to show you're excited about something!
Example #1: This is the best day ever!!!!
Example #2: THOR IS HERE!!!!!!!!
btw= by the way
no subject
I ENJOY WRITING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS LIKE THIS! IT MAKES ME COME ACROSS AS VERY EXCITED, WHICH I AM!!!!!! LOOK, I'VE ALSO EMPLOYED YOUR SUGGESTION OF MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR ALSO EXPLAINING BTW TO ME. I HAD SOME DIFFICULTY IN FIGURING THAT OUT. SOME OPTIONS I CAME UP WITH ARE: BEHIND THE WALL, BEND THE WILL, BUTT IN THE WATER, BURLY THOR WINNER ... BUT NONE OF THOSE MADE SENSE. "BY THE WAY" FITS MUCH BETTER.
SINCERELY: THOR

Wow I can see why you're confused now! Let me think of some other ones....
LOL=Laughing out loud. This helps when you're trying to joke around with your friends.
This ;) helps too! It shows you're kidding around.
Example: Sure, Thor's not an amazing Avenger. ;)
The winky face let's you know I'm kidding. I really admire your work!!!
no subject
YOU ARE INDEED A WONDERFUL TEACHER! I WILL BE SURE TO ENLIST YOUR HELP IN THE FUTURE IF I AM CONFUSED ABOUT SOMETHING!! IF YOU DO NOT MIND ME DOING THAT, I MEAN!
I SEE WHY YOU WOULD EMPLOY THE USE OF THIS FACE - ;) I WAS SAD THAT YOU WOULD MAKE A STATEMENT THAT I AM NOT AN AMAZING AVENGER - THAT MADE ME FEEL LIKE THIS :( - BUT THEN THE ;) MADE ME REALIZE THAT THAT WAS THE JOKE! AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU EXPLAINED IT, TOO! THANK YOU!
YOUR BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE AVENGERS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THIS :D THANK YOU! I AM SORRY WE ALWAYS SEEM TO RUIN ALL OF YOUR BUILDINGS.

And it's okay. We know you're just trying to prevent humankind from being wiped out. It's actually really sweet of you to drop by our planet and help like that! Just be careful if you ever end up in Jersey City. We totally can't afford to fix that property damage.
no subject
Thank you! :D You are very kind!
Humans are so little and weak, so it is the least we can do to try and help! Not everyone has been so grateful, though. I don't blame them, especially if they lived in a building we destroyed.
Where is this Jersey City? Is it like New York City? I will remember to try and avoid destroying things there, regardless.
From: Thor
no subject
Oh and it's in New Jersey! It's not too far away from that place you're always hanging out with the Avengers. It's just far enough we don't get attacked that often!
no subject
Yes! I don't mean to discredit humans at all! You are very strong, and you have surprised me many times over with your resilience and perseverance!
New Jersey. Where are all the old places of these "New" locations? New Mexico, New York, New Jersey .. where are Old Mexico, Old York, and Old Jersey? This is a question I have had for many months!
From: Thor

And... I don't know. Usually I ask Google but, we don't have that here. :(((((
no subject
Google. What is Google? Is it a person? How does it know all the answers?
From: Thor

So, if I were wanting to search for, say, who is considered the strongest Avenger, I could do that with Google? If I were to have a device hooked up to the Internet?

Those fans are terrifying.
no subject
Who would you say has the greater number of strong cases? Whose cases are stronger?
What are "stans" and why do they like Tony so much? Not that Tony doesn't deserve fans or praise; he is a very dear friend, and I respect him greatly.
I will do my best to avoid these fans, at your advice!
From: Thor
no subject
Oh and because they want to be him. "Stans" are like fans who take things like super seriously. I love Iron Man, but he makes mistakes? All heroes do. They're not good fans because they don't want to be critical of heroes. Don't get me wrong. I love you guys! But, it's important to be critical of people in power.... or at least that's what Nakia tells me.
(She's my bff! She's smart.)
no subject
I do appreciate you taking the time to answer all of my questions, and in such detail. It is very kind of you.
TBH is .. The Big Hulk? Those Bratty Horses? Thor's Big Haunches? (I like that one the best).
Yes, I do agree with that. I used to think that blind allegiance was what was best for all involved, but I've since learned that it is good to not hold those in power up on pedestals, literally or figuratively. Even my father, Father of the Gods and all-powerful being, made mistakes in his long life. It is hard to admit that those we look up to or those we admire have faults and can make questionable choices, but it is important to remember.
Your friend Nakia sounds smart.
From: Thor
(Also, what is BFF? Big Fishy Friend?)
no subject
BFF=BEST FRIEND FOREVER.
TBH=TO BE HONEST
And she's brilliant. Thank you for noticing. <3
no subject
BFF! I like this very much! That is exactly the term I would use to describe me and Banner. :)
Thank you for your explanations! I wish I had some paper to write these all down, but hopefully I can remember them moving forward.
Is she here in the village? I'd very much like to meet her.
From: Thor
no subject
And no. :((( She's back home! It's great bc no one can mess with her! Less great because I miss my squishy muffin.
:'(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
no subject
Yes! I also love Banner! He's wonderful! He's my BFF! I'm very happy to hear others feel the same way about him! He deserves it! :D
I'm very sorry to hear this. :( I know that I would also be very sad if Banner were not with me, but I suppose a comforting thought is that she is taking on the world with her brilliance instead of being stuck here in the village.

How do you prefer to be addressed? I can modify how I greet you to whichever makes you happiest!
You are most welcome. :) I am happy that I could offer some kind of assistance with something non-physical.

I don't know what those words mean, but I'm assuming your parents? I would very much like to honor the name that was chosen for you, too! So I will call you Kamala from now on!
