Imagine how aliens would react to sunburns, and specifically skin peeling off after the sunburn if they couldn't get sunburnt

Alien: human, why are you red?! You told me your species couldn't change color!

Human: Oh that's just the sunburn, it'll turn every so slightly browner than the rest of my skin eventually

Alien: You got burned by your star? How? We're millions of kilometers away!

Human: Well, it wasn't actually the sun that burned me, it was the ultraviolet rays that the sun emits. My skin's sensitive because I'm pale see, I don't have as much melanin as other people

Alien: We need to get you to a medic!

Human: It's not that bad, chill, I just need to put some aloe vera gel on it

Alien: And that will heal it?

Human: A bit yeah, mostly it'll stop it hurting sooner

*Some days later*

Alien: Hi Hum- Why is your skin coming off your body?!

Human: Oh it's finally peeling? Well, that's good

Alien: What do you mean?! Your skin is coming off!

Human: Yeah, it's because of the sunburn I got a few days ago, the skin cells died, and because of how deep the burn was you can see the skin peeling off

Alien: Losing your skin and getting burned by your sun is normal to you?

Human: Yeah, I lose track of time and sunscreen makes me burn faster, so I don't use it, so I get burned a lot when I'm swimming or at the beach

#humans are space orcs #edited because some people pointed out i said melatonin when i meant melanin

#3 you can (not) redo

#eli vanto #thrawn 2017 #thranto #it's not even been one day my godddddd #listen. okay please listen friends. comrades. fellow hooligans. #i'm not going into your inboxes or leaving replies on your posts or anything #i'm not “calling anyone out” #maybe this counts as vagueposting and being aggressive or whatever idek. but like #it's just. #if you do an art. at some point you gotta be more conscious about your choices of colour palette #esp when depicting someone with darker skin #like at this point fine. you can think eli is “tan” if you want. live in denial. #but at least give him the damn melanin for it #colourism is a thing too yknow!! #you know this actually happened ages back in another fandom i'm in #and when i sent the artist a curious msg about it they were like 'o yeah i can see and i agree i messed up the colours on this one real bad #it's literally not that hard to just notice and move on and just try better next time #okay next time i promise i'll post the meme without any commentary okay i just. sigh. #white eli tag #hmmm maybe i should change the meme to read “whitewashed” as opposed to just “white” #that way it's a more accurate argument re colourism #hm hmmmm

you know how sometimes artists become related to a very specific trait they draw in your head like X artist who always draws bandaids on characters or Y artist who gives everyone huge sneakers. i want to be that but with skim discolorations and stuff like rashes/burns/scars

#like rashes burns discolorations acne flared up skin. i want to draw characters with rashes having sex #the act of a touch is something important when you have stuff about you some might consider gross or contagious #i have self harm discoloration points on my right arm that can be mistaken as a disease or sickness #and i think about baby me with a birth mark so angrily red people assumed i was burned by my mother #i love people with skin disctinctions. i love you burns i love you rashes and eczema and melanin scars and pimples #and peeling skin and flareups and red spots and big blotchy red marks up the face and on your breasts and your ass #i love you keratosis pilaris i love you big bruises and i love you big gnarly scabs and patches #and i love you viewer

Literally WHAT???

#I was googling about the MC1R mutation and how it affects melanin distribution in skin #and clicked on this site for some bullet points #And that advert was one of the first things I saw
