Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Receive a sticker
2. Watch it load
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
To see a blurhash, or just a standard spinner while it loads, as with images.
#### What happened instead?
There's a blank smiling face staring back at me:

This is made worse by the fact that if the sticker loads fast enough, the face pops in and out of existence subliminally.
