Seems more like antagonists to me.

I think you are ruining a bit with more telling than showing.  It
reads like a lecture on the properties of potato people at times.

Say your narrator is a tomato, things that are normal for tomatoes
will only be of note when something un-tomato-ey shows up.

In this case unblinking eyes would be of no note at all, but people
who can close their eyes or instantly change their expressions should
be quite notable.

I like being a reader who is nodding along with somebody's biases,
until I stop to think about exactly what they are saying and then it's
most strange as I move from agreement back to my own reference frame.
