Let us use some Persistent/"Special" emotes while sitting

This Starlight Celebration's punch/tea emotes illustrate a problem with the emote system in that they've cloned certain emotes just to make them loop. For example:

/tomestone vs /tomescroll
/read vs /study

And now, /gridaniansip vs /gridaniangulp (and its variants)
Why do these emotes, which should all loop by default, have a non-looping base version?

The answer: because you cannot use the looping ones while sitting and the only way for you to take a photo of your character performing the motion while sitting somewhere is with the non-looping version. Not only does it look amateurish and jank to have 2 emotes that are the literal same except one stops, it also clutters the emote list.

Why not just let the player sit down and use the looping variants?

I imagine there's some spaghetti code issue that doesn't allow 2 persistent (or 'special' as they're now called) emotes to be used at once, but I hope this can be worked on and fixed.

Please consider removing the base, non-looping variants of these emotes and making the ones on the "Special" tab the only ones (and letting us use them while sitting, obviously)
