LayeredImage Limitations [Solved]

I have a question about layered images, which I feel it should be able to do but I can't figure it out. My sprite expressions are usually done separately by brows, eyes, and mouth. I've noticed if I do "show charactername angry" -> it only shows all 3 parts if they have the same name, such as brows_angry.png, eyes_angry, and mouth_angry.
Is there a way to show different names of each facial part at once to make a new expression? Such as brows_joy + eyes_sad + mouth_smile as one expression?

According to this part of the docs: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/layeredimage.html#poses

You should define your layer image poses / expression separately so that you can refine the brow, eyes and mouth as you want them.

Ahh, so I need to do separate LayeredImages then. Thanks for the information! I'll probably just go back to my old code then that works similarly.
