It is time to balance my meme karma, since I've been abusing both

Oh hey, anthropological hints. So, there's a Sun Warrior equivilant in the Earth Kingdom... huh... *is thinking about Oma and Shu's story and how it doesn't seem to quite mesh* I think your version might work better than canon actually...
