  Let me tell you. About Fallen London.

  Suntan lotion is what first comes to mind, but sunscreen is acceptable too.

  
  

  I would probably understand sun cream, but I would look askance at it.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  I always called it sunscreen, or sunblock.

  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  Sunscreen or suntan lotion are interchangeable for me, so either.

  ⚠ THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS

  I burn really easily (fair-skinned brunette) and I also have vitiligo, so I try to stay out of the sun as much as I can.

  8luh 8luh.

  I call it "sunblock" because it's too high an SPF to be simply "sunscreen" and "sun cream" or "suntan lotion" to me sounds like something that would invite tanning as opposed to blocking burning.

  
  

  There's also "avoiding that evil burny thing in the sky".

  well, all right.
  
  I just wondered because I was playing a silly Metroid hack where you have to find this stuff, and it calls it
  
  
  
  I was all like "sun cream"? Who calls it that?
