I never got taught Sun Smart Safety! I definitely could've used it as a kid LMAO, the part of Alabama I used to live in got BAKING HOT in the summer. My standards for "weather I can run in" were fully insane back then (and even now, I'd take high noon in the summer over a cold rainy run in a heartbeat 😖)

I also like cold deaths for spooky purposes! But I think heat deaths are kind of underused - I really like the delirious foggy haze of it all :3 wandering off into the desert and dying of exposure in Derek's route was super fun for me. Plus there's something really appealing about severe sunburns (in fiction!).... the torturous potential...... >:3c

BB! You better be wearing at least sunscreen and sunglasses during this hypothetical high noon summer run! Don't make me come down there!

The foggy haze delirium is a symptom of heat stroke bestie, when we wandered off into the desert and met the demon our organs were cooking.

Ugh, severe sunburn to me just means sun blisters and those are kinda nastygross if they get big and they fucking hurt, which I guess is the point if we're going for "torturous potential".

I do like it in a hurt/comfort context though, sunburn is ubiquitous enough that most people know how to treat it and it sucks just enough that having someone else do it is a relief, cute cute if ya ask me ♡
