I think you'll find this is even more obnoxious

const gimmeSweetEmojis = (input) => {
    const whiteOrYellow = (int_or_bust) =>
        int_or_bust % 2 === 0 ? "yellow" : "white"

    return input
        .split("")
        .reduce((output, character, index) => {
            if (character.match(/[a-z]/i)) {
                output += `:alphabet-${whiteOrYellow(index)}-${character}: `
            } else if (character.match(/\s/)) {
                output += "  " // double but whatevs
            }
            else output += character
            return output
        }, "").trimEnd()
}
