Saturn's face always looked very unhappy to me in this picture, like, he is deeply in anguish about what he's doing. How can anyone see anything other than horror and sadness in those eyes?

Mostly yes, but with some imagination he could also have the expression of someone being caught mid act, and kind of having a scared/awkward ‘ow fuck, what do I do now’ look.

It could also represent a sort of bewildered frenzy where he's just overwhelmed by compulsion.

Or possibly the moment where he realized something slipped down his windpipe.

I dont see horror and sadness. I see more of like a cat looking at me like "dont mind me" but watching me regardless.

Its fear. He does not particularly want to eat his children, but he fears the curse of succession. Any child of his is an immediate and grave threat to his dominion.
