It’s confirmed by Viv that Alastor’s smile is like a power play. He intentionally always smiles because 1. People can’t read him 2. It intimidates others. He does it if his own free will and even did it when he was alive.

@N3koPurrS

This is me 😅 I also laugh in mental breakdowns, and when I'm truly angry I start calm, laugh and then smile the entire time. Tbh I grew up with the same thought process as Alastor that a smile is a useful tool, and I've always used it. Tbh I think very rarely am I not smiling. And tbh it really does throw people for a loop, back in school I had a lot of issues with bullies early on and I live in a pretty dangerous town so as I grew up it turned from bullying to actual life and safety risks. One thing I leanred to get people to leave me alone is to make everyone think I was crazy, and I mean like actually 10p% psychopath crazy. I used over dramatic gory threats, talked about things most sane people wouldn't, and consistently smiled even when people were trying to shove me into a fight. And at every school the first incident, I'd threaten something small like one highschool I threatened someone I'd stab them with a pencil if they didn't stop trying to steal stuff from my bag. They tried again, and I did it no hesitation smile on my face looking them right in the eyes. Stuff like that, and then people 100% believed if I said I'd do something I would hence they'd all think I'm crazy. And since where I live its normal for violence to happen the only risk is if the kid said something, and there was never anyone brave enough to do so so 🤷♀️

"confirmed" and "fandom wiki" don't work together because the fandom wiki was made by fans

Alastor also had stitches while he was smiling during his solo part of Stayed Gone with him saying “your status quo will know its race is run”

i think he also genuinely smiled right before the battle while interacting with nifty! and could his smile at the end - after his mental breakdown - be genuine?

I’m so glad you went over how that’s NOT how stitches work. I have worked with fabrics and dresses for years, if the stitches were to force his smile then they would be connected to the corners of his mouth and somewhere higher up on his face, like the top of his cheeks. Not criss crossed on his mouth. Those stitches would be to HOLD IT TOGETHER

He flat out says the smile has purpose. Rallies allies, terrifies foes, and the phrase "Face was made for radio" reinforces it.

I can agree that Alastor is smiling widely. It could be he had to use his power to keep it from tearing his face apart. But nobody is making him smile. He's practicing what he preaches. In his last song of the season, he is smiling out of habit to try to maintain any amount control.

Alastor smiles all the time because it makes him feel like he's in control of the situation, even when things start getting out of hand. For the most part, his smile is done to display the genuine amusement at the chaotic life he has in Hell, but you see in the final episode as his breakdown begins he starts trying to smile wider and reassure himself that he still has a way out and a way to the top, with only pain and panic disrupting his smile. And of course we see that in his true form, Alastor's smile widens even more and is held together by the threads on his face. That's not a symbol of him being forced to smile. It's a symbol of restraint, holding back his smile and whatever snake-mouthed monstrosity he'd become without it.

Actually, he always smiled when he was alive. To him, a smile is a powerful tool to leave his enemy guessing. Plus, it's was confirmed that he hates frowning, so I dont think he can't frown, I think he doesn't want to under any circumstances

The smile that Alastor had in the pilot right when Husker asked if he thought he was some sort of clown. That’s the only true Alastor smile for me

I kinda think it is way more interesting and more in-character for Al's permanent smile to be his way of constantly having control. It even works for his breakdown scene the dude would definitely be trying to cling onto any bit of control. And we've definitely seen him genuinely smile more than once: When he is with Mimzy and Rosie his eyes are also "smiling"/showing genuine happiness so his smile would be genuine too.
