And in RL

[sparkindarkness]

My beloved other half has announced his intention, yet again, to get a better tan than me this year.

*sigh* You'd think after 24 years of being a poster child for the master race (albeit a short one) he would have learned that the SUN IS HIS ENEMY!

Gods save me from Aryans trying to get a tan.

Now I must go and flaunt my darker skin tone at him. :)

it's a radioactive death star. You're all crazy.

[me and my red-head complexion will be over here in the shade ]

Is this where I mention me & my OH will be wearing fursuits for live action role play this weekend. In the heat. Full body fur.

We're going to melt. No sunburn, just little puddles of goo here...

Yeah, see Germans + Sun = PAIN. I'm half English and half German. My skin cells see sun and go EEEE! I wish him the best of luck.

You might want to keep aloe on hand just in case ;)

I'd rather have you pale and writing more fic.

You are evil. More evil than Darren himself, for I could not go to sleep until I had read every blasted fic for this.

Write more, before I send my legions of felines(well 4, but 2 of them are big enough to be multpiple cats) across the pond to chain you to the computer.

*mew*

OY! Tell him there's a little thing called skin cancer in which the dear ol' Yellow Ball tends to use to make a buffet out of any skin tone lighter than olive (and often chews up darker skin tones just for dessert.)

Unless he wants you to have to bury him at some point, he'll compete with you for something safer, like best skydiving record.

Could he be persuaded to settle for a Black and Tan?

I don't tan. I burn, I peel, and my freckles re-emerge, absorb solar radiation, and become such a virulent orange that my hair joins them in abject surrender. So I don't go outside much ;)

Freckles go away? I never knew...

I'm all for cosplay, and LARPs for that matter, but have you really, seriously, considered making paper masks or maybe signs to hang around your neck? You know, something less likely to cause heat stroke? I'd offer to pray for you, but I'm agnostic and any deities that may exist don't seem to respond all that well to prayers marked "To Who It May Concern".

There is only one thing for this. YOu must drug him nightly and coat him thoroughly with SPF 500000000000000 sunscreen. Clearly the man is mad. You cannot let an insane loved one proceed with such folly.

[girl-working.livejournal.com]

Doesn't look realistic enough...

I do have a foam & latex mask & my OH has a full-head mask...

Signs just would look silly...

LOTS of water. Times lots. :)

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Heee, I mock all you pale skins and bask in sunny glory!

Except for that light aversion thingy *joins everyone cowering in the shade*

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Now that is suffering for your art!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

He's got viking descent a couple of hundred years in the past and he's pale and blond and blue eyed - and will go a bright lobster pink.

USUALLY he has sense to come in when he's burning. Usually

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Heee, so would I. It annoys him that I need no effort to tan. I'm naturally moderately pale olive, then sun hits and BAM instant tan. I don't see the attraction of the day star *cowers in front of computer


Heee, thank you. I like being evil in that way. The archive is all in the memories, I think. *waves evil badge* thank you again.

I have Hounds! They will save me from... ok, I'l write! I'll write!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

That's what I say. He says I'm being overly dramatic. So i point out the aging effects of the sun and does he wantt o be all wrinkly? That gets through

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

A black and tan? Weren't they a somewhat brutal British regiment deployed in Ireland responsible for many nasty things during the Troubles?

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

See, I'm going with tie him to the bed inside, for his own protection. :)

And he tries to borrow my sunscreen when I get him extra strong stuff. he is mad.

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

The version of black and tans I know is a mixed drink, Guinness and some sort of ale.

[rampagingturtle.livejournal.com]

That's the spirit!

Have you considered buying a bottle of your sunscreen and replacing the contents with his sunscreen in it? You can use that as a decoy, and keep your bottle of sunscreen hidden.

[rampagingturtle.livejournal.com]

Yes, they would look quite silly. I'm sufficiently half-assed and heat-averse to try it anyway.

I sucked at LARPing.

[only-playing.livejournal.com]

I happen to be the darkest of all my melanine challenged friends, and that includes one who is half black. I swear, if I hadn't seen them out in daylight before, I would think that they were all vampires.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

ah,m the lengths I have to go to to protect him from himself

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Maybe they just use extra strength sun cream to lure you into a false sense of security before preying on you?
