This hits close to home. Maud is one of me favorite late series characters because she represents an extreme version of my own struggles. People frequently have trouble reading my facial expressions until they get to know me. There have been times I’ve been asked why I never smile while I was smiling.
It gets very frustrating at times.
I have literally done this in real life when a new coworker told me I should smile more. I will forever treasure the look on my coworkers’ faces and the laughter when they saw my “smile” and realized I do in fact have a healthy sense of humor, I just don’t express it as obviously as other people.
This actually corresponds with the other image. Maud Pie is trying to cheer up her sister. Maud Pie doesn’t smile much already but seeing Pinkie Pie cry obviously makes it even harder. This is the best Maud Pie could think of doing.
I have the same problem with my facial expressions. Someone once accused me of being a sociopath because of it.
