Reblogging... I Cannot Be Mean To Gundam Tanaka.

Katsuya & Tatsuya are already there. Plus Akihiko's on his way there, pretty soon if the trend keeps up, there'll be entire police force of Persona-users.

For some reason I can see Yu becoming a cop possibly cause he's aware of how he and Adachi where similar so maybe he wanted to prove he's different by being a cop and not ending up like Adachi. but also cause Dojima made an impression on him being the only adult figure to pay him decent attention o maybe he wanted to be like him. but also cause Yu wants to protect and help People. just my thought on Yu's possible future which we got no hint about

Well, with Chie already becoming a cop and Naoto being a detective, this would place, like, half the IT in law enforcement. It’s a really nice headcanon though. I really think it could work.

This is a great resource remainder & thought process explanation makes a lot of sense. Very helpful in life & fiction.

Could somebody be a paramedic if they were missing a forearm?

Y’know, sometimes a question comes along that exposes your biases. I’m really, really glad you asked me this.

My initial instinct was to say no. There are a lot of tasks as a paramedic that require very specific motions that are sensitive to pressure: drawing medications, spreading the skin to start IVs. There’s strength required–we do a LOT of lifting, and you need to be able to “feel” that lift.

So my first thought was, “not in the field”. There are admin tasks (working in an EMS pharmacy, equipment coordinator, supervisor, dispatcher) that came to mind as being a good fit for someone with the disability you describe, but field work….?

(By the way, I know a number of medics with leg prostheses; these are relatively common and very easy to work with. I’m all in favor of disabled medics. I just didn’t think the job was physically doable with this kind of disability.)

Then I asked. I went into an EMS group and asked some people from all across the country. And the answers I got surprised me.

They were mostly along the lines of “oh totally, there’s one in Pittsburgh, she kicks ass” or “my old partner had a prosthetic forearm and hand, she could medic circles around the rest of her class”. One instructor said they had a student with just such a prosthesis, and wasn’t sure how to teach; the student said “just let me figure it out”, and by the end of the night they were doing very sensitive skills better than their classmates.

Because of that group I know of at least a half-dozen medics here in the US with forearm and hand prostheses.

So yes. You can totally have a character with one forearm, who works as a paramedic for a living.

Thanks again for sending this in. It broadened my worldview.

Calling all Critters!

A few years ago a call was made to Critters to submit lovely things about Marisha Ray when she was going through a rough spot in the first campaign. The submissions were compiled into a scrapbook and arrived just in time for that month’s round of Critmas. It was a huge success; she was absolutely blown away by the things that were sent to her and how much you guys loved her.

Things have been admittedly rough for the cast the past two months, especially for Matthew. So I’d like to do the same thing for Matthew Mercer: put together something to show our appreciation for what he does and has done as a DM and for what he brings to the show with his skill, imagination and personality.

The rules are the same as before:

Submit compliments

Submit encouragements

Submit happy thoughts or stories about positive impact

Be courteous and respectful of boundaries

Multiple submissions allowed

Specify the name you’d like to submit under, or if you wish to remain anonymous

The deadline for this is December! I encourage you to submit things for the other cast members while you’re at it too! This is a good chance to show the cast what we love about their characters and themselves.

Lastly, even if you don’t submit anything, please reblog this so other people can see it and contribute. Let’s make his happen!

This is adorable and awesome.

The CW stated that they are having a mega crossover with Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, and LoT. Are you excited?

Only if it goes down like this:

This is so cool! Reblogging to remember this. 

I love that RPG race trail rations post, and it got me thinking about non-Eurocentric fantasy trail rations. I focused on Central and South Asian cuisines (as I also needed the information for a project I’m working on). I looked for foods that were easy to carry (dry or dehydrated), easily obtainable in markets/easily foraged, easy to cook/not needing cooking at all, and high in protein/generally filling. Many foods had language-specific names and some overlapped into different regions, so I bare-bones’d the names. This is what I came up with: 

Dried curd comes in many forms – kashk, aaruul, quroot, etc. – and was of particular interest to me, since I learned it was used since (and before) medieval times as a trail ration for soldiers and travelers because it is lightweight and high in protein. The more you know. 🌈

Tempeh is one of my favorite food options, but I should note that it originates from Southeastern Asia, Indonesia in particular. 

Bamboo is extremely handy for use as both a carrying and cooking vessel, and would save a character the hassle of bringing a skillet with them (provided the character is in an area with large bamboo and a water source). It’s a method still used today because it’s extremely efficient. Storing eggs in rice is a good way to travel with them and keep them from cracking for a short time. 

These are just some basics and I’m only scratching the surface, so if anyone has foods to add from these regions (East and Southeast Asia, too!), or any non-European region honestly, don’t hesitate to add them! 

This is awesome and hilarious.

I was tweeting with tenfiends about how P5 kid should be Tatsuya and Jun’s son and it got out of hand

(Tatsuya is a detective, leading to hilarious antics as P5 kid conceals his identity from his dad, because his other dad Jun probably knows about it the entire time)

I love this so much

What if someone got bitten by a vampire, but didn’t realize it. So then they go around and keep misidentifying all the symptoms, like

“Dude, you haven’t gone outside in a while.” “Yeah, last time I went out I got this wicked sunburn.”

“Are you still up?” “Yeah, I started bing watching this show on Netflix.”

“Dude, I’m seriously craving something right now.” “Like what?” “I dunno. Pizza rolls?”

Reblog to remember this. This is awesome. So many memories.

it is pretty annoying how the fandom erases shaggys flaws to make him into a uwu precious scoobie snack babie…like hes a coward that when push comes to shove isnt there to help out his friends lmao

Persona 4 Dancing All Night... Is this the return of demon contacts?
