I think it's the same deal as Koizumi or Konata. Her eyes are open, but her distinctive style makes it look like they're closed most of the time. In other words, they're really open, but you should always draw them as if they're closed unless she's surprised or something otherwise it doesn't really look like Madotsuki.

I don't think they're closed. If you look at Monoe's sprite, she has similar looking eyes, yet when we get a close up of her face they're open. I think it's mostly a stylistic thing.
No fan art is wrong in that sense, I think. It's up to the artist's interpretation.

>unless she's surprised or something

as in unless her eyes are wide open derp derp derp

I always thought her eyes were closed because she's asleep and dreaming.

>>1862
but her eyes are still closed when shes awake

>>1863
She might never really be awake. It's a possibility.

My theory was that she's really blind, which explaines her unwillingness to leave the familiarity of her room, but freedom to travel anywhere in her dream world... [/t]

But yea, it would make sence...

INCEPTION

>>1868
Not possible, she writes in a diary..

yeah - its fun playing NASU blind.

Not. Doesn't she also "go to sleep" on those randomly placed beds throughout her dreamworld? Why should those be so different from the one in the supposed "real world"?

She doesn't actually fall asleep, she just goes to another area of her dream

>>1992

And if she pinches herself, its something like an false awakening?

>>1994

Precisely

She'd believe she was waking up, but instead the pinch would be very much akin to Medamaude's effect, only it made her return to her "real world" bed instead of her nexus
