The writer is from Gossip Girl, okay? Enough said. *facepalm*

I'm so sorry this is so long, mun was an anthropology major.

Biology lesson!

Ever notice how as soon as you go a little farther north than the South Pole, to a point where people lived on earth and not ice, everybody's skin gets really pale, really fast? And then back to tan the closer you got to the equator? It's to do with diet, sun levels, and Vitamin D. Vitamin D is available in many foods, and is necessary for many bodily functions, including but not limited to healthy bone growth. However, unless Vitamin D is consumed in extremely high amounts, plenty of sunlight is necessary for it to be absorbed into the body.

Now, too much direct sunlight causes skin cancer, so in places that get a lot of direct sunlight, like deserts or close to the equator, people with dark, melanin-rich skin are more likely to survive and reproduce than light-skinned people, as dark skin is more protected against sunburn and the development of skin cancer. However, the farther north or south you go from the equator, the less direct sunlight the land recieves due to the curvature of the Earth - or a given planet's - surface, so dark-skinned people suffer vitamin D deficiency. Therefore light-skinned people have a better chance of reproducing healthily. The only exception to this are people who live on the ice, because their diet is composed almost entirely of fish, which are so rich in D that light skin isn't necessary for enough to be absorbed to produce a healthy human being. Instead, it's once again productive to have darker skin to retard the growth of skin cancer, as the indirect sunlight is seen more frequently (due, again, to the round shape of the Earth, but we're getting into astronomy here), and the amplification of sunlight by the reflective, icy landscape.

Therefore, for an individual to live on an ice sheet yet have pale skin, one would have to assume a few theories other than traditional native living to explain their physical appearance. The person could be a recent transplant from earth-based settlements, descended from pale-skinned relatives whose diet contained vegetables, grains, and land-based animals, and not mostly of fish. If they are not recent transplants and have ancestors who've been living on the ice for generations, then they and their descendents are likely plagued by facial skin cancer and the problems that come from a lack of vitamin D, including diseases such as rickets, poor bone formation in offspring due to a lack of vitamin D absorbed by the mother during pregnancy. Because no matter how pale you are, there's only so much D you can absorb through your face.

However, if they live on the ice and aren't eating fish, frankly, I don't know how they've survived starvation for this long.

TL;DR: somebody didn't do their research! Or, you know, care about casting leads with accurate skin tones to represent the ethnicity they're supposed to be. Or both.

They...they made it a lot more heroic than it was--and--

*His dad. The look on his face after renouncing him that showed he'd been just as hurt by it. Toothless curled protectively around him after their fight wit the Green Death. He'd been out for that. Good boy. Good dragon.

Gooood bestest friend EVER.

His dad scooping him up into his arms when he was out, and he sounds so happy that he's alive, his dad sounds...*

*So many years, he'd been trying to win his father's love and approval and maybe the latter took some time, but realizing now that he'd always had the former...*

*Hiccup wipes at his eyes*

These are not tears. Your air is...is stingy, that's all-- and that was classy as usual, Gobber. "Most of him." *facepalm*

Watch? Doing what? ::sniffs::

[thatsortofaman.livejournal.com]

Oh, saving people, planets, the universe. The usual.

[twelvevoltman.livejournal.com]

Yeaaaah

*munching on popcorn*

That movie was pretty cute.

Did you pay attention to the soundtrack? The soundtrack is pretty bitchin'.

[forthewyn.livejournal.com]

... are you always in desperate need of a haircut?

[ihatefire.livejournal.com]

*Spoiler alert, people. Cybil dies in the end.*

So that's what I have to look forward to, if our worlds are restored.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Can you do that? Is that a thing only grown-ups can do? ::Beware the curious::

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

*Even if the worlds are restored, Brainiac 5 and Sensor's timeline will be erased in the Crisis. They will never have a home to return to. Their families, friends, every single person they knew that wasn't Legion, that wasn't lost in the rift, will be lost to them forever. They'll have ceased to exist.

Where the rest of the Transmigration crew perhaps has a chance to restore everything they care about, and where the other two teams of Legionnaires have their own timelines, the Legion of Earth-247 have no home to go back to, no universe to restore, and will likely spend the rest of their lives as homeless wanderers, traveling through the universes finding other dimensional displacees, other lost souls like themselves and giving them a home.

Thank you, DC Comics.

The worst part of it all is whether or not they stop the Ohm, in protecting the world and universe they were supposed to protect, they Legion has completely, irrevocably failed, and billions of sentients have paid the price--rather than dying, they simply never existed in the first place.*

*All Brainiac can do is stand there for a moment, eyes closed tight. Then he lifts his chin and says simply:*

I suppose there's still work to be done.

*Long live the Legion.*

[thatsortofaman.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! Of course not! I have a friend who saved the world the day he was born! And a daughter who did... more or less the same.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

How did that happen? ::chirps, sniffs::

[ihasvision.livejournal.com]

Why the heck don't they shoot you when you're doing all those poses or while the robots are transforming. I mean, come on. You're really, REALLY, easy targets.

[morphitudinous]

Even easier---they knew where we were at all times and could have killed us while we were sleeping and defenseless. They did manage to trash the Zords once or twice, but our enemies lack intelligence matching their power.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

You OK Sweetie?

[wolf-that-grins.livejournal.com]

Stuff like this is why I prefer Super Robot shows.

[metalbent.livejournal.com]

I DIDN'T GET MY LIFE CHANGING FIELD TRIP WITH ZUKO?

[thatsortofaman.livejournal.com]

Never actually got the story on Luke. Should've asked, but he's brilliant. Not quite as clever as me, but as close as any human I've ever met.

And Jenny...

She saved my life. Maybe you can ask her for that story - I'm sure she'd love to meet you.

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

I swear to god, I'm not that big of a dork you don't see Alien Force Season 3 or the Super Hero Alien Buddies from my original canon really!.

[hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com]

Wait... I was pulled out... BEFORE the Frenzy?

... this could be bad or good.

... Vivio, keep your mom's away from me. I think they're a bad influence if I've decided to "BEFRIEND" Fate.

[pocketloli.livejournal.com]

This explains everything.

... I need more scenes. And the urge to go to safebooru and find that 4koma of me begging for more scenes is rising.

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

You see? Right there.

New Powers.

That's when shit started getting weird and I lost half my character to the abyss.

[short-changed.livejournal.com]

So... either battle Father in a life-changing world shattering event... or get stuck on Earth with no Winry.

[magictrkswwater.livejournal.com]

Can I hit you for being an utterly out of character jerk?

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

Oh sure, blame it on the guy who had no idea his life was this screwed up.

Well okay, I had some idea. But yeaaaaaah you can hit me.
