As someone who as a little kid devoured every piece of vampire media I could get my hands on to then grow up and develop an allergy to the sun!!! Peak, chef’s kiss 🤌🏻 no notes!

It is a very good thing I didn’t have this condition when I was younger though as I’m fairly certain that would have sent me into some kind of psychosis.

PMLE so bad I'm considering becoming nocturnal to avoid the sun permanently 😭 it's not even just a normal sunburn like i just went out to smoke a joint in long sleeves with a dark umbrella, sitting in the shade, and I still have a reaction and im on antihistamines too

it's like being a vampire except it sucks and is lame. don't even get to turn into a bat n shit... don't even get to burn all cool like a vampire, I just get fucking ITCHY HIVES

[brideofvecna]

spf 50+ ain't touching my sun issues. i have PMLE and i just wanted to get a bit of colour for once and i lathered up in so much sunscreen and my arms are BURNING im so friggin mad

Characters with uv allergies (that mostly effect skin) because I said so (the most self indulgent thing I've written lol)

(No exact diagnosis is given to make characters more relatable to more people.

Dahlia hawthorne (ace attorney):

Reason:she always has a parasol and seems to have some built up frustration. Has hyperfocased on beauty and manipulation (ie. grasping for control)

Headcanon: she and iris were exposed to sunlight after birth. The physical wounds took all of her mystical abilities to heal and it just kinda never came back. Iris being the smaller never got any but spent the rest of her life feeling guilty over her sisters illness

(Dahlia also definitely milks the issue for all it's worth)

Bruce wayne (dc):

Reason:Gotham is gloomy but he really said let's do most of our actions at night. Also he went to the cinema late in fucking Gotham

Headcanon: it's one of the biggest reasons he blames himself for his parents death. His outings had to happen at night and his parents died for it. He blames himself for not just staying inside

Tim drake (dc):

Reason: was left home alone constantly, almost as if the parents didn't know how to relate to a disabled child.

Headcanon: doesn't think it's a big deal. Like genuinely doesn't get why people are so sympathetic towards him. Joker tried to burn him at dawn and one of his siblings broke his fucking arm. Is such a hoodie lover.

Penguine and most of lounge staff (dc):

Reason: that man has so much money. He could go move somewhere sunny if he wanted. The loungestaff because they will be loyal cause they understand him

Headcanon: was originally trying to make enough money to cure himself of his uv allergy but gave the fuck up after a stint of depression. He doesn't know batman has it and batman politely ignores that penguine has it.

Raven (teen titans):

Reason:obvious hooded figure is obvious

Headcanon:she doesn't hate it the way her mother did. I fact a weakness any weakness from her mom makes her feel more human despite its oddness

Ravens mother (dc):

Reason:hear me out. What else could have pushed her to join a cult and sleep with a demon besides feeling dirty and cursed.

Headcanon: was definitely bullied relentlessly for it. Became a school punching bag. Her old classmates are very lucky Raven is the magic and not her mother

April O'Neil (tmnt 2012):

Reason: we first see her out in The middle of the night and the turtles dont see her midday so whose saying she isn't.

Headcanon: hates being seen as fragile for something she can't control. Would be a fainter if she wasn't so damn stubborn. She loves an aesthetic sun visor

Nina sayers (black swan):

Reason:there's gotta be some sort of trigger to her mothers overprotectiveness

Headcanon: it's one of the reasons she couldn't black swan properly. Her mother fought it so fucking hard that any comfort and calm the night and the dark brang to her was also repressed. (Slept with a nightlight coded)

Ford pines (gravity falls);

Reason:

1) being born with one disability kinda opens pandoras box for you

2)he's a shut in living in a forest area

Headcanon: his intelligence was encouraged by his father cause he "didn't want to take care of the boy for the rest of his damn life."

Lucifer morningstar (hazbin hotel):

Reason: because making a being named morningstar allergic to sunlight sounds about right for the show. Never tries to leave hell.

Headcanon: use to be fine but falling literally changed his biology. This is just another punishment for him. Tried to leave hell once and almost burned to death.

Charlie morningstar (hazbin hotel):

Reason: she's related to her dad

Headcanon: she has a much lighter case. Might (of she's lucky) grow out of it. Her mom isn't allergic and it makes her a lil insecure even though she would never admit it.

Maxie(pokemon):

Reason: covered up head to tow and doesn't seem like an outdoors person. Or a people person really.

Headcanon: still craves academic validation as a adult.

sabrina (pokemon, game):

Reason: it's implied she was created in a lab opening the doors to disabilities via human tampering. Covered up head to toe. Not a people person in a (very dangerous) different way then Archie (probably never developed social skills)

Headcanon: it all stems from being created in the lab rather then being born. It's so deeply a part of her that she doesn't even think of curing it.

At least one parasol lady(pokemon)

Reason: statistically there's gotta be at least one background/npc character with a solar allergy in the pokemon world. What other choice would that character have

Headcanon: vague parasol lady is super quiet about her diagnosis. She wears longer stallings then the others and desperately tries to blend in.

Kaguya houraison (touhou):

Reason: shes literally a moon princess. She is also is word of Fandom a shuttin. Probably the reason eiran is so obedient to her.

Headcanon: it's actually a point of pride for her. It's another trait that ties her to her heritage no matter how far away she is. Sure she can be forced away but they literally can't take this from her. It's something she clings to

Eclipsa (svtfoe):

Reason: she empathized with the ostracized and her assigned husband seemed to hate her. (Rip queen you deserved a better ex and a better show. Your shoulders must hurt from carrying svtfoe so long)

Headcanon: she is actually releived meteora doesn't seam to have it. As much as she wouldn't trade the empathy and emotional intelligence she gained from it for anything, she also knows its incredibly painful. Probably has the worst case mewnies ever seen.

Alice liddell (alice madness returns):

Reason: everything is gloomy even in the real world. Like I know she lives in London but still. There's gotta be a sunny day here and there.

Headcanon: because of her other diagnoses no one believes her. She has learned to keep her mouth shut and handle it herself

(Sorry for the vagueness I straight up culturally osmosis this game.)

Celeste (animal crossing):

Reason: We only see her on starry nights. Seems a bit spicy and naive as if shes been just a bit sheltered.

Headcanon: her brother use to be jealous of the special treatment she got (being allowed to sleep during the day.) Until her disorder started to progress and she had to go to a hospital for a while.

Jack(animal crossing):

Reason: it's never confirmed he is actually supernatural. He covers up and runs around at night. He also seems to lack social skills (the trifecta)

Headcanon: was never officially diagnosed. Doesn't seem to understand its a disability. Good for him I guess. His pumpkin head is his disability aid

Eda hawthorne( but only sometimes):

Reason: demons are already supposed to be light sensitive(also demons aren't vampires don't start) but stress raises histamine levels.i just took the given info to its most extreme case

Headcanon: it's why she drinks so much. Even the dusky light of the isles is alot for her. She comes back to not just sore on the inside but with hives on the outside and theres nothing the healers can do for this part of the curse. Luz and king don't mention it. She was always a little allergic but She genuinely thinks it's all the curse.

The twili (twilight princess)

Reason: it's explained away with magic but it's borderline Canon forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't think they leave bones meaning at least some of it is biological

Headcanon: they run great big markets at night with food stalls and craftsman. It's a bit odd but bustling and honestly really beautiful.

Inuyashas mom (inuyasha):

Reason: no flashback ever shows her during daylight. Also Inuyashas dad probably had a savior complex

Headcanon: when she met inuyahas dad, he saved her from being beaten for being "cursed" spent alot of her spare time on inside hobbies.

Princess Yue (atla):

Reason: standard moon affiliations

Headcanon: she doesn't feel like she's missing much. Being hot and sweaty is a no thanks. Dresses in layers when forced outside during day

June (atla) :

Reason: her only friend seems to be a animal. Might be because other people fnd her disorder incredibly off-putting.

Headcanon: She acts tough but is actually really lonely. People only approach her when there's something that needs to be done.

Powder/jinx (arcane):

Reason: everyone around powder was very protective of her. So I assigned her to reason why.

Headcanon: shimmer actually made her skin worse. She ignores it for the most part.

Morticia Addams (the Addams family):

Reason: Girl took her diagnoses and fucking ran with it. It is now her entire personality.

Headcanon: the most extensive black silk glove collection on earth. It's really quite impressive. Shes got wrist length and opera length and charcoal and onyx. Is currently looking for one that has web like lace.

Love fortunes witch (kikis delivery service):

Reason:shes only shown for a couple minutes at night. "Love fortunes" sounds more like "let's overcompensate to make sure I'm liked"

"Cool and smug" more like "distance yourself to not get hurt"

Headcanon: is sick and tired of people saying things like "she's so pretty, it's such a shame she's like that." So she became a love witch to shut the catty comments down. Somehow became what she hated most

Vivian (thousand year door):

Reason: probably a biological thing (hush she's not a vampire ) also big hat.

Headcanon: she aestheticizes it to cope. It's why she's so far away mentally. Certified maladaptive daydreamer.

Lady amalthea ( the last unicorn):

Reason: most of the movie takes place at night.( And it makes her even more tragic)

Headcanon: is definitely a fainter. She would go down fast too. Very lucky she didn't go through that. As a unicorn she's fine. Something about being human was not kind to her biology.

Black cat (spiderman):

Reason: a black cat allergic to sunlight seems fun. Also her clothes cover her arms and legs. You rarely rarely rarely see them uncovered.

Headcanon: her dad had solar allergies too. It's why they were so close. It felt like him and her against the world. That's why she went off the rale when he turned himself in. In her mind there's absolutely no one left in her life that can truly relate to her. Love love loves a uv proof Thigh high

Lisa (castlevania):

Reason: hyper empathetic to the ill, and somehow related to the actual count Dracula. Looks real pale and was burned as a witch

Headcanon: was moved around alot as a child for her own safety. Was hidden in a apple basket under a armfull with a blanket on top of her head. Her parents did see her death coming as they were essentially fighting the church

Danny phantom (Danny phantom):

Reason: his molecules got rearranged man. That can mean any disability. The world is world is oyster

Headcanon: it's painful but due to his healing factor it doesn't scar. Its why he got used to the pain of fighting so quick. Only phantom is allergic though both sides of him gets the constant adrenaline flow.

(Tell me if you guys want more disability headcanons and I'll try to follow suggestions depending on how much I know)

Was out in the sun too long and broke out in hives.

[waging-war-against-ones-self]

Allergies suck!

I thought my teenage years were bad when I had hives every time I took a bath or shower due to a hormone imbalance, but that’s got nothing on my new problems 🤦🏼‍♀️

Polymorphic light eruption sucks.

Bloody rash from the suns uv.

Guess I’m now stuck inside or need to stick to nighttime ventures for the foreseeable!

Thought it was a one off but noooo…. 4th year now 😩

And then for the last two years I have another problem…. I want to rip off the palms of my hands! New rash caused by heat! Apparently a kind of eczema.

I just can’t win! 😂

Why me? 😂

All this on top of the photophobia!

Why can’t I like cold weather better?

I want to be outside in the warmth!

[lunar-goodness]

Hate being allergic to the actual fucking sun
