I saw a thing on Twitter that reminded me of why I prefer media like comics and anime - I can actually figure out what expressions mean due to their exaggerated nature. A case in point: https://twitter.com/MarkJKremer/status/1018659320580444160

She got a what?
A boob job

Treat her like a man-made thing

If it weren't for the additional context, that's how I'd interpret it. This is one of the reasons I feel I can relate to Brun. I can parse the expressions in media like this comic more easily as an outsider but in the context, I'd probably fuck it up. I don't know if anyone was side-eyeing that or not but..yeah.

The lack of wrinkling around that eyes that tends to happen in a genuine smile suggest that this is being put on for the camera. Add in the context, and that's probably what led this person to interpret her expression as uncomfortable.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the INTENDED meaning to convey is "smile", but it's a forced one (the rest of the face isn't smiling, just the mouth). I interpret this expression as uncomfortable, too. Even slightly frightened. But I'm pretty sure that's not the intention.

Perhaps this is a Dutch thing, but I always have raisins in homemade apple pie, which is a great combo with the apples and sliced almonds...
Also good in boboti by the way.
Apart from that I think I also only use them in oatmeal raisin cookies.

Boboti! I only discovered this recently, but it is my favourite comfort food now! If only it didn't take every pan and spice in the kitchen to make properly...
