Andalite eye-smile--the "smeyes."
« on: November 20, 2010, 01:15:32 PM »
Think about how subtle Andalite smiles are in the books.

Tyra Banks is a good example of a human smiling with their eyes. Now watch her show Larry King how to do it.

Now I know Elfangor is eyesmiling in my sig pic. Compare that inner flap pic to the cover of the Andalite Chronicles and there's a definite difference.

It's amazing how subtle it is, yet once you SEE it, you learn to recognize it.

All humans smile with their eyes. In fact scientifically, a smile isn't genuine unless you're also smiling with your eyes (it's an involuntary reaction which is how you can tell a real smile from a fake one). Of course it's harder to spot when the individual in question has no mouth, lol.

That's why I hate being told to smile for a photo. It feels fake to me and I hate how I look in pictures like that. Make me laugh or just snap the dang photo already. (I hate my teeth, that's why I don't grin.)


I wonder if Andalites have smug smiles, nice smiles, etc. It may just depend on the situation.

Wouldn't that mean one eye quirked is an Andalite smirk? :P

i was just about to point that out. you can usually tell fake smiles when their eyes don't match up.

I'm starting to think that Jimmy Wales (the founder of Wikipedia) is an Andalite :) check out his pics, he smeyes in pretty much all of them, and overdoes it in many.

I bet Andalite babies can manipulate people with the cuteness of their smeyes.  :angel:
