Are Dadd, Femorafreack, and Momi blind?

you try to look aroud but you cant see any things because you loosed youre face many a years ago in a tragic face accidant

So this post will be a bit more speculative than usual, but I wish to raise the possibility.

According to the panel shown above, Dadd is explicitly stated to be blind because of his lack of face. So in most comics, this would be a settled question. Yes, Dadd and everyone else who suffer such face accidents are blind. For CaNWC, it’s less clear.

o is very strict about maintaining canon, even with jokes, as the “face accident” itself should prove. What was once an off-hand comment or joke was made a real plot point. If we are to believe that these characters have all been blind though, it raises a few questions and answers some others. Not everything fits. As per usual though, if these characters really are blind, then that just becomes part of the joke.

For Dadd himself, there seem to be two main inconsistencies if he is blind.

Firstly, both Dadd and Femorafreack can drive, something that would presumably be impossible and/or illegal for them to do if they were really blind. Femorafreack especially should be thought to always be obeying the law.

Femorafreack also seems to be able to see to some extent. Literally the first thing he does is comment on how nice Dadd’s lawn looks except for “all this red stuff”, which he pulls out a magnifying glass to identify.

Similarly, he’s able to identify Germy’s “redwashing” when he was prototyped.

In spite of these instances however, Femorafreack does seem to be at least somewhat visually impaired.

When femorafreack was offered a bug for sale, he was struck with indecision between the purple and blue one, and when Germy suggested he pick the purple one, he picked the blue one by mistake.

Femorafreack is also consistently a poor shot. He completely miss Jhon in {s]every one; enter and he blames missing the Bug Stand Man on his gun not being for “LONG RANGS”, yet Dabe was able to use this exact same gun to kill Fresh Jimmy.

Momi also seems perfectly capable of sight honestly. She was at least competent enough to spot Jack’s ship as it was coming to crush Rose.

Honestly, if it were not for that one line from Dadd, it seems like the possibility of these characters being blind wouldn’t even come up, but since it has we would be remiss if we did not consider how this might connect to our other blind character with a special love for red things.

We know that the trolls have been in contact with the humans for quite a while, at least long enough for Jhon to consider Vrasky his daddy. It doesn’t seem too far fetched to think that “Terezi” taught her smell-based vision system to some of the humans. Why would Terezi do this though?

My thinking is that she holds flushed feelings for either Femorafreack or Germysprit. Femorafreack is a just, upstanding, well dressed officer of the law. As his deputy, Germysprit is also a man of justice who also happens to be almost entirely red.

Might be a solid ship down the line.
