comment
A style of drawing eyes with a straight horizontal line at the top or through the middle, so they look half-closed. This gives the character an instant tired or bored look and is the trademark gaze of the Sleepy Head, Heavy Sleeper, or Deadpan Snarker in animation. Someone giving a cynical remark will often lower their eyelids in between rolling their eyes. This projects an air of nonchalance as all the eye muscles are relaxed, either because the character has a devil-may-care personality or is just too tired to care. Stoner characters often have these eyes as well, to emphasize their spaced-out nature. Dumb characters may have these eyes to emphasize their slow wit. However, the look can also be used by a character trying to be seductive or lecherous, often known as "the bedroom eyes" in this context. Eyebrows can either be arched for a relaxed look or furrowed for a snide look. If one eyebrow is raised, it creates a sly or knowing look. And if someone's pulling a quality Eyebrow Waggle or Eyelash Flutter, their eyelids are almost always half-closed.
In anime, these are known as "Jitome Eyes." Compare Exhausted Eyebags, Tareme Eyes, Tsurime Eyes, and Eyes Always Shut. Often paired with the expression of the Perpetual Frowner or Smug Smiler. Combine with Fascinating Eyebrow and Twinkle Smile, and you get the DreamWorks Face. Not to be confused with Eye Cam, which is often from a character's dreary point of view.

Looney Tunes:
Bugs Bunny often has half-closed eyes to portray smug confidence, especially on cartoons directed by Chuck Jones.
Another Jones character, Pepé Le Pew, also has half-lidded eyes to show lasciviousness.
Robert McKimson was quite fond of this particular expression. In any given cartoon he directs, characters tend to default to this expression when not showing any particular emotion. His bulldog character (who appeared in cartoons like "A Fox in a Fix" and "Early to Bet") in particular almost always has this expression to highlight his smart, soft-spoken, yet deceptive personality.

I Think Our Son Is Gay: Yuuri is a stoic, deadpan thirteen-year-old whose eyes are always drawn in this style throughout his life, at most softening slightly or pairing with a Sweat Drop. The only exception occurred when he was genuinely shocked once at age eight. He even had the expression as a baby.

In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin's eyes always droop to half-mast when he's watching TV. Apparently, he doesn't use any muscles at all to keep his eyes open (in one strip, he tells Hobbes "I can feel my neural transmitters shutting down").

Total Drama:
Noah's default expression gives him half-lidded eyes to emphasize his laziness and sarcastic attitude.
Trent's default expression has half-lidded eyes, showing how relaxed and chill he is. Fittingly, his eyes are fully open more often when he spirals into a Crazy Jealous Guy in the second season.
Geoff's stock image depicts him with a sleepy expression, fitting his mellow Surfer Dude attitude.

The Owl House: In "Thanks to Them", Luz gains these as a result of all the guilt and trauma she'd acquired in the latter half of Season 2, a far cry from the wide-eyed and excited girl she was at the start of the series.

Garfield and Friends:
Garfield himself, obviously, to reflect his sardonic nature.
In the U.S. Acres segments, we have both of the opposite-personality twin sheep, Bo and Lanolin, with their eyes frequently half-lidded. Bo's eyes are half-lidded to show how calm, chill, relaxed, and in later seasons how relatively dim he is, while Lanolin's eyes are half-lidded because she's nearly always angry, pessimistic, and cynical. Lanolin's eyes often being half-lidded also shows off her bright blue eyeshadow, which matches her bow.

Sonic Adventure and its sequel has some Chao that can have this as a default expression, but most notably Chacron. If you played the games, you'll know the one. Players might think they're in for an easy race because of his sleepy look (even giving the other Chao a head start in the first game while he just lies down) before suddenly jolting past absolutely everyone.

In The Loud House, both Luna and Lori are often seen with half lids. The former has an aloof and chill Cool Big Sis attitude, while the latter is either for annoyance at her younger siblings, smug arrogance towards them, or seductive towards her boyfriend Bobby. It also shows that they both wear eyeshadow matching their clothes. Lisa is also shown to have these, prominent through her big eyeglasses, to show her (usually) stoic nature.

Cars: Fillmore the van has the top of his windshield covered to invoke half-closed eyes. These go with his New-Age Retro Hippie nature and role as The Stoner.

Daria: Daria and Jane have these to emphasize their cynical and sarcastic personalities. Jane's brother Trent has these too to emphasize his mellow nature and implied pot use.

In the early 1930s, Goofy's default expression had droopy eyelids to show his dimwittedness. This was downplayed from the forties on.

The main character in Case Closed always has his eyes half-closed with his brows slanted downward when he's in First-Person Smartass Sarcasm Mode. This is a very frequent occurrence for him.

The Pokémon Numel (a small camel-like critter) and Metapod (a crescent-shaped chrysalis-like critter) both have heavy-lidded eyes.note No, the angry-looking side with the pointy "nose" is not the front of Metapod.

A lot of the villagers in the Animal Crossing series have a default half-lidded gaze, many of them belong to the (big surprise) Lazy Villagers such as Punchy and Tucker. The "smug" type, such as Ed and Rodney, is probably the second most common. Other villagers with other personality types have this sleepy eye look too, including Agent S, Sally, Boots, Bea, Charlise, and few others. For the NPC side, we have Tom Nook, Sable, Booker, and Franklin.

Spyro the Dragon: Bianca originally sported huge ones. Combined with her often scowling eyebrows, they initially give the implication of devious squint to reflect her (seemingly) villainous role, though after her Heel–Face Turn takes form, they instead reflect her docile, if still slightly grouchy nature. Her redesign in the Reignited Trilogy lacks these to make her look more innocent from the start.

My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected: Hachiman Hikigaya's default portrayal has him with a half-lidded expression, which along with his small, dark irises (in contrast to everyone else's large, colorful irises), emphasizes his cynical, weary nature. In-universe, he is described as having "dead fish eyes".

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes:
Professor Venomous has half-lidded eyes of the Deadpan Snarker variety. He has a serious demeanor and generally speaks in a Cold Ham manner. His half-lidded eyes also make his eye makeup visible, emphasizing his deliberately attractive appearance.
Both Radicles and Enid have half-closed eyes, despite both having opposite personalities - Rad is confident and laid back, Enid is sarcastic and cynical (mostly around customers).

The Muppets:
Miss Piggy has a perpetual "bedroom eyes" expression.
Fozzie Bear's half-closed eyes fit his Sad Clown persona.
In his early years, Gonzo had heavy eyelids that gave him a sad expression. As his personality became more manic, controls were added to open the eyes for more wild-eyed expressions, but his default expression still has a slight droop. It makes him look confident or depressed depending on his mood.
