do you close your eyes irl when you smile like chinese cartoon girls? i do sometimes

>> No.9449945

what are you, some sort of a kawaii person?

>> No.9449966

Sometimes, not always. It's like a primitive, animal-like way of saying "I'm happy, and I also trust you're not going to rip my guts out, so I can close my eyes safely around you." It shows you trust whoever is around. So it makes the smile more special, even if the other person doesn't consciously realize it.

No, it's unnatural unless you are literally laughing out loud. >>9449966 is full of shit and you guys got that habit from watching chinese cartoons.

No it's completely unnatural and quite frankly I'm stunned at how it became a staple of animation both in the east and in the west.

What >>9449970 said. Other than laughter, it only accompanies negative emotions.

No. I tried doing it once and it made me feel like I had some sort of mental disability. It's that kind of thing that only works in 2D.

I hate my smile.

It always looks goofy.

try being a gook without looking like your eyes are closed when you smile.
it's only unnatural when you're a waito piggu.

i think varg still looks kawaii

>> No.9450594

It doesn't represent eyes being closed. In fact, it's impossible to really close your eyes and end up with the lines where your eyelids meet looking like upward curves. However, when you smile (like a real, genuine smile) your lower eyelids do get pressed up, causing less of the eyeball to still be exposed. If they get pressed up enough, then your eyelashes will cover up the entire part of the eyeballs that's still exposed, making them kind of look like thick black lines. This is also why some artists draw little white blobs on the eyelashes when drawing a smile, representing the parts of the eyeballs that still shine through the eyelashes.
