So I was wondering if there was anyway to turn these off completely. They are kind of annoying...

Not sure about the message emotions. Those don't bother me. The handwriting thing though absolutely does since it defaults to that when you change orientations in a text. I wish I knew how to disable that. I unfortunately haven't found a way.

The first one, just lock your screen to portrait. It only appears if you turn your screen to landscape in messages.
The second one only appears if you long press a speech bubble for options. You don't have to use it. Ignore it. That's all you can do. It doesn't have an on/off toggle.

It toggles when I try to copy and paste on my 7+

If you want it to default to the keyboard, rotate it to landscape, tap the keyboard in bottom right corner, rotate it back to portrait, done. I used to hate when it did that to me but ever since I did this it always defaults to the keyboard view. I now have to tap the little squiggly key on the keyboard to bring up the handwritten messages. Just remember that if you do decide to use the handwritten messages, make sure you switch back to keyboard view before you rotate back to portrait.

I've done this in the past. Works well. However, I still find it fun from time to time to scribble a message.
