hot girl summer but only in air conditioned spaces

She's a 10 but she falls in love with every fictional man that raises her expectations for love

As a person who lives in arizona (HOT desert climate) where every single summer is Like This (46c+ temps daily), here are some tips.

Europeans i’m very sorry you’re dealing with 30n weather at 60n latitudes. Please be safe. I’m also sorry for every ignorant southern american who’s telling you that this is how summer is every year - one peek at a map should have told them that britain should NOT have texas/southern USA temps.

1. Drink so much more water than you think you need.

2. Wear sunscreen, seriously. Especially if you live somewhere that doesn’t normally get this hot. Even if there’s cloud cover you can burn. Wear sunscreen on your scalp if your hair is thin enough that the sun hits it. Same for if your hair is pretty short or super blonde.

3. Stay inside as much as possible. Honestly. Even the people who live here in AZ stay inside when it’s like this.

4. Wear light, loose clothes. Try to stick with natural fibers instead of polyester and the like. If you can swing it, even wear loose undies.

5. If you start to feel Generally Shitty, go the heck inside. There’s a long list of symptoms I’m sure you’ve seen for heat exhaustion and heatstroke, but the general thing is that if you feel bad, go inside. Personally, i get cold and clammy, a headache, and vertigo, but everyone’s different. Listen to your body. You really, really, really, really don’t want heat exhaustion. I promise.

5.1. If you’re nauseated from the heat, sip water. Not eating or drinking because you’re sick to your stomach won’t help - the nausea is because you’re dehydrated.

6. Do you guys have air conditioning? I genuinely do not know. If you don’t, put a bowl of ice in front of a fan. I had no ac last summer and this works really well.

7. Getting water on you helps cool you down even in humid climates like britain. I use a tiny spray bottle with water and aloe on my face and arms when it’s really hot.

8. Wear shoes! The pavement and even the grass will burn your feet.

9. This is not the time to get a tan.

10. Don’t use your oven if you can help it. My oven doesn’t turn on at all from may to september.

If you have any other questions, i’ve lived here for 26 years - please dm me and i’ll help if i can! Fellow americans - grow up, if texas and arizona had britain weather we’d all be crying and freezing.

Edit: adding to the og post from the notes -

If you’re hot so are your pets! Spray them with water when they start to get hot. They’re not used to it either. Also their paws will burn just like your feet so make sure they have somewhere cool to stand.

Apparently the ice fan doesn’t work when it’s humid. Oops. If you live somewhere relatively dry, though, it works well.

Sodium!!!!! Totally forgot about sodium which is crazy because I have a heart condition that requires me to keep my salt intake up. Gatorade and such is good, a teensy bit of fruit juice in water is good, a teensy bit of salt in some juice is good too. You don’t need a TON of it. @nymph1e mentioned that if a little salt on your tongue tastes sweet, or if you’re feeling thirsty even though you’re drinking water, that’s because you need more sodium.

It’s cooler underground if you can get there.

Do as little as possible. The heat will sap all your strength and energy super fast, especially if you’re not used to it.

Not gonna lie friends. I would like to feel desired and feel like someone’s first choice

I don't care what others may say or think, I'm turning this into an meme template

I think y'all get the point...

Lembus Recipe

A/n: Making this because of a rebloging conversation with @eunoiaastralwings and it would be easier to put in a separate post.

⚠️!British measurements are under the American ones!⚠️

Takes 15 minutes to Prepare and 15 minutes to cook (doesn't always take 15 minutes to cook).

Total time: 30 Minutes (Half an hour)

American Ingredients Mesurments:

2 1/2 cups of flour

1 tablespoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

8 tablespoons of cold butter (1 stick)

1/3 cup of brown sugar

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon maple syrup/honey

2/3 cup of milk/heavy cream (or more, if necessary)

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

British Ingredient Measurements:

300 grams of flour

1 tablespoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

110 grams of butter

75 grams of brown sugar

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/2 table spoon of Golden syrup (i find that works better than honey)

150 ml of milk (i find more milk is needed more often then not)

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 220 degrees Celcius (425 degrees Fahrenheit).

2) Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.

3) Add the butter and mix with a fork or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine granules. (fork is better i found or you could use your hands)

4) Add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly into the mixture.

5) Add the milk/cream and vanilla and stir them in with a fork until a nice, thick dough forms. (Hands also help for this)

6) Roll the dough out about 1/2 inch in thickness.

7) Cut out 3-inch squares and transfer the dough to a cookie sheet.

8) Criss-cross (DO NOT cut all the way) each square from corner-to-corner with a knife.

9) Bake for about 12 minutes or more (depending on the thickness of the bread) until it is set and lightly golden.

Important Note: the recipe makes about 10-12 pieces of lembas

Note: you normally need a bit more Milk and Golden syrup than it says.

Instead of Honey or maple syrup i use golden syrup but if your american then use your equivalent.

I couldn't find my normal recipe so i found an american one and converted it into british measurements for all those who need them so hopefully i got the converted measurements correct.

It also doesn't fill a grown mans stomach with one bite

I headcanon Lindir put's cheeses with his lembus so if you wish to try that let me know how it tastes.

[Remember: Some of these books have dark academia as their major aspect but most of them have dark academia as their minor aspect, and many of them have been put into the list because I got a dark academia kind of vibe from them. Moreover these books have a lot more to offer than just Dark Academia, even if we ignore that aspect, these books are just great pieces of literature. This list is entirely created out of my own reading researches, friendly recommendations, and book recs from reddit, pinterest and the internet in general.
