I'm looking for a second opinion here; what what emotions do you think are being expressed by the person in the photograph ?

Please answer using spoiler tags, they don't look like the reddit ones, but are instead everything between two pipe characters | | like this.. | | (except without space in the middle)

boredom and a little disappointment or disdain

Can’t do spoiler tags on mobile, but literally this exact answer.

You can for sure do spoilers on mobile, check your special character keyboard for the | pipes (in SwiftKey they're on the second page of special characters, same for the Google default keyboard.

I'm on a Kindle fire no dice.

Ah, you need to install the play store on that thing! That was such a confusing move by Amazon, leaving the Google ecosystem. I assume it was over some compliance or licensing issue, but it was a complete own goal. At their price point the fire tablets are the best android tablets by far (in terms of bang for your buck) - or they would be, if the Amazon app store wasn't hot garbage. Fortunately installing the play store isn't as simple as clicking two buttons, but it is pretty easy and straightforward.

There should be some good guides with links to the necessary files on the xda forums.

Edit: my friend recommends this guide from AndroidPolice as it has troubleshooting tips as well. He also suggested along with a decent keyboard that you grab brave (and mindustry).

Mindustry is a fascinating game, but seems a bit out of place here… :)

He insists everyone put mindustry on everything, and I have trouble disagreeing with him.
