Origin of Fishy Persona 1 (ongoing)
Fun size Fish PQ2 (in progress, the difficulty is brutal)
Other P5 mostly other ppls fanart
Whats with the Fish?
I got caught off guard with the fact I actually had to name the protagonist myself when playing P5 so I just named him Tuna Fish and the Phantom Thieves SUPERTUNAS, from there one I'm trying to stay on theme.
P4 protagonist: Maguro Filet
P3: FeMC Bonito Flakes (Blue Fin for male MC in P2Q)
P2: Not sure why the game didn't take the name but I did name him Alma Rosada - Fishy. Maybe you cannot actually name him because of the name stuff?
P1: Thunnus Sarda - Tuna
You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.
Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.
When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.
and this shit's important. Media from the past tells us how people from the past acted and thought and behaved.
Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.
because otherwise it gets kind of visually confusing to parse, which is annoying to some folks, including me
GRANTED not everybody uses the same theme or even the same update. you might have noticed my version of tumblr is earlier than yours (I don't like the new button setup)
People UNFAMILIAR with Bloodborne, which of these is NOT a boss fight?
I still have a blaze left this month and want to have some fun with it. Now that Elden Ring is a household name, let's travel back to 2015 and look at one of Fromsoft's weirder offerings! Bloodborne has earned a bit of a reputation for its bosses, and all of the ones listed below are literally actually in the game... except one. Which is it?
If you're familiar with Bloodborne, please choose the last option and share this to your friends who don't have your insight!
Which of these is not a Bloodborne boss fight?
A man in a cage who moans and flings tentacles at you
A magical spider guarded by a legion of spider-ostriches
Prince Phillip with a scythe
A deer monster who explodes its legs at you and shits lava everywhere
A baby who crawls out of its dead mother and wields its own placenta like a yoyo
A skeletal Dark Beast arcing with blue lightning ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL
Three fat men with a single gun
Blue aliens from outer space who shoot lasers at you
A "horse" who spews sticky white fluid from its other mouth
A loving, caring wet nurse with no head and six swords
A vampire queen who literally cannot die and must be smashed into a pulp instead
I'm familiar with Bloodborne bosses, show me the results
Voting ended onJul 3
Also, while I've got the Bloodborne fans here, check out the hunter's mark tattoo I got a few years ago!
I showed my artist the hunter's mark symbol and asked him to put his own interpretation on it, and he came up with the metal shards, saying it represented the constant deaths being put back together into a whole. It was originally going to be black and white, but my blood seeping through made us both go "this is SICK" so I paid him extra and he put red into it!
(All images have alt text, check them if you can't make out what's happening!)
Thank you everyone for playing, and especially people who put their guesses in the tags!
The correct answer was... the vampire queen who literally cannot die and must be smashed into a pulp instead!
Annalise, Queen of the Vilebloods is in the game, but an NPC, not a boss fight! At the end of another character's arc, she is splattered to pieces offscreen, though you can help her reform later.
Below the cut is evidence of all the ACTUAL bosses, in all their insanity.
"A man in a cage who moans and flings tentacles at you"
Micolash, Host of the Nightmare is an absolute cretin. He wears a cage on his head, and can summon tentacles from the void to hit you.
And I was NOT kidding about the moaning.
"A magical spider guarded by a legion of spider-ostriches"
Rom, the Vacuous Spider is not really a spider, but she is magical, and she spawns actual spiders who jump up and stick their heads into the floor of the arena, like ostriches famously do (but actually do not.) Also the floor is the ocean but don't worry about that.
"Prince Phillip with a scythe"
Martyr Logarius guards the way to Queen Annalise! He uses his scythe to cast magic skulls at you, but will still hit you with it if he gets the chance.
Look at that. A perfect resemblance.
"A deer monster who explodes its legs at you and shits lava everywhere"
Laurence, the First Vicar is one of the hardest fights in the game and also one of the least-fun bosses overall. I sure do love having my nimble dodging game being turned into "the floor is lava".
"A baby who crawls out of its dead mother and wields its own placenta like a yoyo"
The Orphan of Kos is the DLC's final boss! I wonder how many people associate bloodborne with babies? I know someone who didn't pick this option because, in her words, "anything baby-related definitely a boss", and another who said it was "so fucking mental it couldn't possibly be fake".
"A skeletal Dark Beast arcing with blue lightning ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL"
Darkbeast Paarl is Bloodborne's own Sonic OC! More edge than broken glass!
"Three fat men with a single gun"
The Merciless Watchers are three men with braziers, clubs, and a single gun between them! They are also regular enemies through most of the area where you fight them!
"Blue aliens from outer space who shoot lasers at you"
The Celestial Emissary is literally just a mob of blue aliens which you mow down until you figure out which one is the real boss and it gets mad at you. This one scored the highest but it's totally in this stupid, wonderful game.
This boss is so easy that the only way I found a screenshot of its laser attack was by looking up post-game challenge versions of it. There are no clear images of it. I have NEVER seen the laser attack myself. It dies too quickly to actually use it.
"A 'horse' who spews sticky white fluid from its other mouth"
Ludwig the Accursed/the Holy Blade is the first boss of the DLC, one of the hardest bosses in the entire game, and yet one of my favourite. The whole game builds up to this incredible experience, an entire character arc in a single fight: the man who became a beast and then found himself again. And the music...
If you look up a video of any of these bosses, please make it Ludwig.
"A loving, caring wet nurse with no head and six swords"
Mergo's Wet Nurse is one possible final boss of the game. Nobody really knows her deal. She's just there to protect the invisible aborted god-baby whose consciousness is kept alive by aliens. I wouldn't worry about it. This one got scored the lowest!
At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.
I remember reading something when I was younger, though I can’t recall where or in what context, that said something along the lines of “girls will read books/watch movies and enjoy them equally with both male and female leads, but boys will only enjoy media with male leads” and even as a kid, and a girl, that struck me as both untrue and unfair. Like, I remember thinking “well, of course they won’t say that they like girl main characters, you won’t let them admit it!” I think I was even angry for the sake of those “boys” they decided couldn’t enjoy a story if it was told from the perspective of a “girl”. My views on gender roles and stereotypes were, of course, quite childish, but even as a kid I recognized how unrealistic that was. Idk, it still makes me angry, I guess.
I can't believe this is how I'm finding out that I got a scam forklift cert.
I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.
I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.
the back of the card even had fancy numbers on it. I couldn't have known that this isn't the one. this website sounded more official than certifyme.net, and there wasn't one with a .gov address.
so, I emailed OSHA, and they said that so long as I live and work in California, there's no such thing as forklift certification. I have to be told how to do it every time I get the job.
Update: I took a certification class in shipboard Material Handling Equipment at my federal job. *now* I'm forklift certified, but only on ships and piers and only for this company, but also rated to forklift explosives and hazardous materials. Also I'm a woman now.
[Description: the video is captioned "Find the duck game", and we see several blindfolded women in hijabs groping around an enclosed ring while spectators look on, cheering and laughing . After a few seconds the camera pans so that you can see the duck, who is waddling around, casually yet resolutely resisting capture. Periodically the women collide with each other. They do not find the duck. End ID]
please wear sunscreen!!! I've seen "fuck the beauty industrial complex" posts about complicated skincare regimens and am 100% with them except sometimes they mention sunscreen and no. no. absolutely not. sunscreen is a wonderful supportive friend who wants to keep you safe, and you should let her do it. throw out all your other cosmetics and skincare products if you want, but keep your sunscreen. and if you're not wearing sunscreen, start wearing it!!!! this is not about terror of aging, this is not about every tiny imperfection our fucked-up culture has made you feel insecure about, this is about protecting yourself from skin cancer. wear the damn sunscreen.
