I didn't know that was you either!
We totally should have people tell if they have/had other online aliases in the Intro thread. I feel so lost.I suppose it might help though if I knew/remembered people's real first names.
You do have Blue eyes!

An inconsistency then, because in W&G Steven's eyes were described as "furious blue eyes".Originally Posted by LadyGan
The only place that I have seen that gives a great deal of significance on blue eyes is in Orson Scott Card's The Worthing Saga in which the main character, Jason Worthing, is a telepathic who has striking blue eyes and then breeds a race of telepathics who all have those same blue eyes. It is used as a marker for them throughout the book.
I don't know that they necessarily refer to an alliance in the DT series, but I certainly would say that they coincide with great strength.
This is my opinion ONLY, but blue eyes tend to stand out more, some are even described as "piercing" (for the record I've never heard of brown eyes being "piercing")...so they do tend to stand out as a descriptive trait, especially when attempting to create a mental image of how a character should look.
And they do seem to reflect some sort of innocence because most white babies are born with blue eyes only to have them change within the first couple of months.
That being said, I too have blue eyes, but I'm attracted to green eyes (green is more exotic to me)
It's peanut butter jelly time!
I believe it said that Tick Tock Man's green eyes were "piercing".
Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good.
You can't ignore my girth.
Also, remember The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham - all of the psychic children were fair skinned with blue eyes.
*winks at Daghain with a green eye* I agree with what you've said, that blue eyes are probably more of a visual literary icon if nothing else.

Mine run from hazel to green. Depends a lot on what color I'm wearing.
And Jean, I believe the word you're looking for is recessive. If I remember my 8th grade science correctly, blue eyes are a recessive gene, which makes them less likely to occur, especially if neither parent has blue eyes.

I am in love with brown eyes so I am not much into blue ones. *shrug*
Roland would have understood.
Mine are a deep hazel that seem to get greener depending on what I am wearing. Dora always buys me dark green shirts because she loves it so much.

DBF's eyes are a medium blue, but if you put him in a navy shirt, they look like sapphire, almost. Really dark and brilliant. (Don't tell him I said that, he'll get a big head LOL).

Like i mentioned in my little genetics lesson earlier in the thread, brown eyes dominate over blue eyes - a person needs two blue eyes genes to physically show blue eyes, whereas for brown eyes you can either have two brown eye genes or one brown eye and one blue eye gene - both will have a brown eye phenotype.

"one brown eye"
I am so immature.

You won't get an argument out of me.

Oh I loved learning this stuff at school so much.Like i mentioned in my little genetics lesson earlier in the thread, brown eyes dominate over blue eyes - a person needs two blue eyes genes to physically show blue eyes, whereas for brown eyes you can either have two brown eye genes or one brown eye and one blue eye gene - both will have a brown eye phenotype.
I am not crazy about my blue eyes I mean I do prefer brown ones as I have mentioned it before as well but when my biology teacher mentioned that one day (far in the future) blue eyes would vanish from this Earth because brown eyes dominated... I felt unique for some minutes.
I felt as if I was a unique survivor. But it took only some moments.
Roland would have understood.
Me too, it was about the only thing in Biology that I understood.

Wikipedia has some good info on eye colour genetics.

First, I can not even describe my eye color. They are sometimes blue, green, brown, grey, but usually a mix of 2 or 3 of those. I have no idea. I'd like to know what genetics went into that. I usually just call them green to keep from confusing people.
Someone showed me this artice a few weeks ago. I found it interesting. I doubt it has anything to do with why the series has so many blue-eyes people, but it seems like it could work.

I hear ya sister. Mine are both blue and green. Depending on what I'm wearing they look like they are one or the other.

just one more thing we have in common matthew. mine do the same thing. they default to a pale blue, but if i wear green they are green with a little blue, if i wear blue they are blue with a little green. it's a neat trick.
I'll join that club, green to blue, and even gray depending on the cloths and weather.just one more thing we have in common matthew. mine do the same thing. they default to a pale blue, but if i wear green they are green with a little blue, if i wear blue they are blue with a little green. it's a neat trick.
Blue eyes=heroes
Me=hero
lol jk
did anyone see 10,000 BC? the blue eyed girl was an omen of sorts.. the persians (?) called her a witch.. i'm imagining because of her eye color. i've always been attracted to dark eyes, but dark hair with blue eyes is so hypnotizing. i have really dark brown eyes that are almost black. maybe that means i'm evil
Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
