Soon, you’ll be able to rave about dinosaurs, beards, and monocles solely through the use of emoji.

Emojipedia recently created a mock-up of potential emoji in Apple-style. These were among the dozens of emoji proposed for inclusion in Unicode 10 last year.

The new emoji appear to be more inclusive, with options including a girl in a headscarf, a breastfeeding mother, and several faces with no gender specified. There’s also a monocled face, a vomiting face, and a face so shocked the top of its head is exploding. We hope this is in addition to the redheaded emoji we’ve also heard about.

There could also be several new food emoji, including pies, pretzels, and sandwiches — and I shall be very upset if there’s no option for a cinnamon-sugar pretzel.

Our personal favorites have to be the inclusion of a T-Rex and a sauropod, even if the dinos in the mock-up do look a little … well, goofy.
