Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What is this? A molotov for ants?!?! That's ~3.5 tablespoons of liquid per bottle.
You doubt the power of the Smallotov?
Note to self: make smallotov emoji
I made this so it's ugly but how about this rough idea?
A huge problem is that when the image is reduced down to that size - the vibe is ruined. The rag doesn't look like a rag at all. It looks like a extra-fancy top to a bottle of liqueur. Larger it's fine.
Not bad! I think the rag add can be improved both IRL and emoji-style by tying it around the neck of the bottle rather than shoving it in the end. Rag-in-the-mouth of the bottle mollies have a bad rep for failing in minecraft so, yeah, could be something to think about.
If I remember to remember I'll have a crack at it myself. Maybe attempt a vector version so it has toonish design clarity. The hand in your design is a great touch for showing the scale of the smolotov. Its good work.
That sounds really good. At the emoji's tiny size - it would be better if the flame was an unrealistic red/yellow anyway. I used a regular-sized bottle. A fun-sized bottle has different dimensions of course. My hunch is fun-sized bottle won't work because it's too bulky. It'll make the bottle the equivalent of a male bodybuilder who's taken so much HGH he's 350 pounds of huge and bizarrely shaped muscle globs.
The guy had a pair of fucking shooter bottles and was gonna try to do something
I didn't realize this until after I posted, but those sure are small. People suspect he planned to self-immolate since he was covered in hand sanitizer and mentioned suiciding by cop. But who knows.
aw hell naw he's trying to commit terrorism with the fun sized molotovs
They must've looked adorable
I promise it wasn't me, despite the username.
It's how you use it. In this case it was a waste of vodka lol
