Whumpee falls through ice on a frozen lake.
Shaking. Trembling. Freezing. Teeth chattering. Turning blue. Delirium. Hypothermia. Exhaustion. Passing out.
Caretaker probably sees it happen too, and might even have to get them out of the icy water.
That’s it. That’s what I have.

Bubbles Encased in Ice
Tumblr media
If you've ever made ice in a freezer, you've probably noticed the streaks of frozen bubbles inside the ice. In its liquid state, water is good at dissolving various gases -- like the carbon dioxide in sparkling water. (Image credit: J. Meijer and D. Lohse; via GoSM) Read the full article

"These frozen smoke belchers are Minnesota school buses that were set for a retrofit with diesel engines in 2012. New evidence, however, from a small town in Colorado suggests that another retrofit is needed—to electric motors and batteries.
That’s because the West Grand School District is finding that in the frigid winter temps of -30°F, their electric buses outperformed their diesel-powered ones, both in running costs and reliability.
EV skeptics and critics are quick to mention the reduced range of a battery pack when exposed to such brutal temperatures, but no Minnesotan or Coloradoan needs reminding about those especially cold mornings when the car won’t start.
Kremmling Colorado is one of the coldest towns in the country, and the school district that encompasses this hamlet of 1,500 people was able to begin using an electric bus in their fleet starting in 2020 thanks to grants from the EPA, along with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
“What we are seeing is that these buses are doing great in cold weather they still maintain a battery charge even when it’s cold,” said Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) representative, Casey Becker.
OTHER EV NEWS: Number of Electric School Buses More than Doubled in the U.S. in Past Year
“It averages 26 cents per mile and the diesel buses, just for fuel not including oil changes, filters, lubes, is 58 cents per mile,” said West Grand County School District Director of Transportation, Bethany Aurin.
Becker told Fox 9 News [Note: Video at link!] that there will be a total of 49 electric school buses heading to nine Colorado School Districts, including four in Summit County and three in Steamboat Springs."

"Winter"
Tumblr media
Little by little, snow and ice transform the landscape in Jamie Scott's film "Winter." From individual snowflakes to entire forest vistas, the timelapses showcase how winter remakes every surface in its image.  (Video and image credit: J. Scott et al.; via Colossal) Read the full article

Sickfic prompts? Listing out my first fave? I genuinely don’t know how to tumblr so here we go…
A and B are out in the ice cold wildness on some mission
- B falls into a frozen lake (maybe they’re on it despite A’s warnings but they’re trying to get something that will help someone)
- A pulls B out, B is barely conscious but sputters out water
- B tries to stand but their legs aren’t working and they crumple back down to the ice
- A has to carry a soaking wet and hypothermic B through the start of a snowstorm. B fights to stay conscious and A is terrified by the ragged weak breath against their neck. They’ve never felt anything so cold
- finding shelter in whatever is nearest…maybe an abandoned cabin or for maximum pain, a cave or overgrowth
- A frantically trying to warm a delirious B, who is resisting anything warm because OMG IT IS SO PAINFUL (and B’s subsequent struggle between lucid moments of wanting to be held by A, feeling freezing, but feeling burned by A’s gentle touch)
- A grows more terrified as B slips in and out of consciousness. B is the one with medical training, A doesn’t even know if they’re doing things right!
- after much detailed angst and hurt/comfort, A finally thinks B’s hypothermia is passing and they’re out of the woods
- but they’re not because A finally lets themselves drift off to sleep, but the next time A wakes up, B is burning with fever and a terrible, rattling cough. They’re limp and pathetic but coherent now which in some ways makes A feel worse than when they did when they were unconscious because B is aware of their situation now and in so much pain, so scared and vulnerable and SMALL (which is totally out of character for B) and A really doesn’t know if/when help is coming

Apollo 13 (1995)
During the flight Fred Haise developed a urinary tract infection and later kidney infections. These caused him to be in pain for most of the trip
(This is my favorite movie and I have no idea if anyone’s made gifs of this scene but if they have, I couldn’t find them, so I just sighed and said: Fine, I’ll do it myself...)
