Disaster Girl and Josh Duggar Facial Expressions

Disaster girl is what they called her! Look at that expression she is making in the video freeze above (or in the meme on the web)!! If that expression doesn’t wake up your spidey senses–I suspect nothing will! She should send your alarm bells ringing and put you on high alert with concern when you see that expression given the context!

Her expression is what I would call sublime: “Sublime experience has been defined as a mix of emotions – arousal, pleasure, and vitality – together with feelings of awe in nature, which is perceived as powerful, vast, and complex (source).”

If you don’t know, the fire in the photo/video above was actually a control burn, so while she enjoyed it immensely and perhaps had a fire fascination, there was nothing sinister there. However, not knowing the context of that photo made it down right creepy, right?

I think a sublime expression can easily become a sadistic expression with context. It’s what gave this photo that evil feeling the first time you saw it!

If she knew this house was a real uncontrolled fire, and made that expression, you’d (hopefully) get the feeling of danger, alert or alarm. Things may not be as they seem!! Take notice!!

This expression is a very uncommon expression for us to see — and along with the sadistic feeling– is why it probably made this littler girl made a good deal of money with the context! She made nearly $500K for it as it became very popular in internet memes.

But in rare fashion, it was just recently that I saw this expression again. Josh Duggar also made it when he was arrested for possessing and receiving photos of depicting sexual abuse of children.

Here is Josh’s arrest photo:

Is he getting some sick perverse joy out of his arrest? I would call this a sublime expression as well. Why on earth would you feel that when you get arrested? I haven’t figured that one out!

While we don’t know the cause of this expression here, the idea of what he did and what he is being arrested for — makes you squirm. It makes the photo feel sadistic in nature, doesn’t it? But without knowing the context here, exactly, we can’t truly say. Something else may have made him feel this way which could make it benign. Without context the source of the emotion is unknown. But still, a fascinating and creepy expression, nonetheless, wouldn’t you say?

Next time you see a sublime expression–feel free to send it to me! They are rare!
