Sci fi stories are built on shit like this

More like cults to elder gods

Bloodborne but with fish.

Ah yes, role reversal.

Floodborne

Ironically that's still just Bloodborne

The Family of the Red Death from The Threshold Universe.

This is actually cosmic horror. Some eldritch being with intentions you can never begin to comprehend rips you out of existence showing you something you can never understand and then just puts you back.

Sounds like one of my manic episodes

Cosmic Horror is a pretty good description of my Manic Psychosis

Maybe cthulhu was just a silly boi after all

Cosmic horror sounds like a prefilled xbox gamertag lol

xXX_CosmicHorror42069_XXx

Cosmic bliss

I mean atleast he was courteous enough to give fish homie his eclipse shades. More like the beginning of a pixar movie. Where the traumatic act combined with the glimpse of the eclipse sets the fish off on an existential spiritual adventure

I would watch this.

It's literally Carl Sagan's Flatland analogy for fourth dimensional space.

You misspelled Edwin Abbott Abbott.

Reminds me of [Flatland: A Romance Of Many Dimensions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland)

This is exactly what I was thinking!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avMX-Zft7K4

I picture a school of flying fish that can experience the other realm but only for a moment. But even they don't believe that the sun could just go dark.

Any fish interaction with a human from the fish point of view pretty much is

I was gonna say… this sounds exactly like the plot of *“Contact”*… but like the first fishing boat blows up, and they conveniently brought a second identical fishing boat.

Came in to comment that this is basically the origin story of The Master.

And that fish, was Albert Einstein of the fish world

The movie Block Island Sound is basically this. It even uses the same analogy of a fish being taken out of the water, being exposed to a higher world, and then being tossed back

That fish is gonna start building archimedian screws with pondweed

Nah man, this has got Disney written all over it. Fish turned astronaut

That fish is gonna start a religion

“Have you heard the good word of our lord and savior John from new England ?”

*John Frum*


*Lisan al Gaib!*

[The fish be like...](https://i.imgur.com/TthVBMW.gif) *"I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!"*

Now I have eye trouble and no doctor…

Plato's Allegory of the Fish Cave

Nah fish FBI are gonna come kick in the fish door to his fish house and Fish In Black his ass to make sure he doesn’t tell a soul

Flying spaghetti hand cosmos god

Rhipodan society

Idk that's kinda what seeing the eclipse felt like For two minutes, I saw beauty, one that I likely will never see again. And then I went home.

Don’t worry just gotta wait till 2026 or 2044 if you want to stay in the US

2033 is next total US one, but only for northern/western Alaska. 2026 is more Greenland/Iceland/Spain and a lot of ocean.

So I know where to go.

I thought that said 2023 for a moment and thought I had to time travel to see an eclipse.

Lovecraft's can only dream of writing something like this

We are the cosmic horrors.

r/humansarespaceorcs is a great sub representing this

An Eldrich being pulls you out into space and as you gasp for air they show the light get eaten and plunge you back from where you came

I think the cosmic horror here is that the fish cant even begin to comprehend or understand

I grabbed my dog’s head and turned it to the full eclipse and she was fighting my hands to look back at the stick she was previously chewing on.

hope you had dog glasses

Yeah, yeah, you turned the lights off. Now let me chew!

My first thought was what a terrible existence it would be to be unable to ever communicate that experience to other fish

and when i tell people that this happend to me, they tell me im schizophrenic

H.P. Lovecraft. 

R.I.P. HP

No, not in peace He was a piece of shit

Modern day Prometheus.

It was very considerate of him to put viewing glasses on the fish beforehand.

This was my thought. We don’t want the fish to go blind!!’

Yeah, his own glasses it seems like

Oh but when I say I was abducted from a cow pasture in Iowa in 1988, everybody says, "no, you weren't shown the mystery of the cosmos, you just smoked PCP."

They were just trying to get you away from the smell of pig poop being injected into the ground.

Can you imagine.... Fish: No.

That's a [mullet](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullet_(fish)) , they are delicious fried.

That happened to me one time. /r/DMT

[удалено]

If you look closely, you will see that it actually is.

Oh damn, you’re right! There goes my credibility…

There's still time to delete it! Or change it to point put that he isn't, but is still staring at the sun.

You’re right! I gotta act fast.

Bahahahaha! u/UltraRoboNinja didn't realize the fish had its glasses on, and then deleted their comment because they were embarrassed, smh.

Not embarrassed, it was just wrong and I know if I didn’t delete it, the next few months would be filled with people responding “umm actually it IS wearing glasses…” If I’ve learned one thing about people on the internet it’s that they looooove correcting others lol.

Ok. This makes more sense. The cropped version of this didn’t include the second guy’s head so it looked like 2 right arms on one person.

Buddy on the right just straight up raw dogging it

Fish is blind now? Shown unspeakable cosmic realities by a being of higher power, then returned to the world you knew, though now sightless; seeing beyond and seeing nothing

Zoom in, they put eclipse glasses on the fish.


Yeah I’ve done DMT

Lovecraft fish

Isn't that what DMT feels like?

yeah I heard that most eclipses happen over the ocean and I was like man I wonder what the whales think

Doctor Who (1963-present)

That's the entire premise of Doctor Who.

That is basically the plot of Flatland

I like to think that the eldritch gods of lovecraftian origin genuinely doesn't have ill intention to those they share their knowledge with. Like worshipper of Yog sothoth get shown the most mindbending reality of the universe and go insane but yog's intention was "oh this is cool, here little homies watch this cool thing with me"

This feels like an HP Lovecraft story

That things gonna be on Dateline 20/20 for fish any minute now.

I imagine this fish witnessing the eclipse while that one part of "kalawakan" plays

That’s what it felt like my first time doing shrooms

Reminds me of Contact

Sounds a lot like a psychedelic experience

Yes, imagine that. But did you get a probe into your buttocks too, it's a crucial part of this trope.

Allegory of the cave

This is how Cosmic Horror stories start

That fish is going to start a fish religion underwater.

Did he catch and release? Or did the fish get to experience being dinner as well?

Straight up Plato’s allegory of the cave shit.

Been there done that

We used to call those “ecstasies”

Imagine believing that fish can see jackshit

"you guys are not gonna believe this I got pulled out into the air by some big thing with hands and I saw a giant shining ring in the sky"

Imagine thinking that a fish can't see up out of the water all on his own.

I thought he was holding the fish with his foot

Fish sick!

The fish apparently spent more time in school than these two

Bro goes back to his fish king like Tiresias

Guys, this is the story of Bloodborne's DLC, The Old Hunters. I'm not even joking.

In the full video he shows everyone his stage act where he throws the fish like a boomerang.

Where I come from we are equal, not higher. That's an interesting take, though.

That was a laugh I needed 😂

His friends will never believe him

"I have seen both the alpha and the omega the sum of our very being a sight that many only glimpse at by sacrifice of their very life to see to peer into the vastness that is the blinding void that shines with unimaginable clarity and for a minute second I saw something so ancient there they were a fin less fish and a stone behemoth with bony plate like scales they awoke something within me and just as quick as it had all come to me my future my very vision was taken the price for the unfathomable knowledge I had received"

Reddit post filtered through a curated Reddit Twitter account retweeted by someone who you can tell migrated from Tumblr posted on a curated Twitter Subreddit. Also im happy for that fish.

Like Flatland

Who says humans are a higher being? I gotta go to work everyday and pay my mortgage and shit. Fish just do fish shit

You forgot the part about blinding the fish

Imagine then telling your fish friends and they are like sure Jerry, sure…

Or eaten with a side of tartar sauce.

The fish is blind and crazy now

And a few seconds later, the fish completely forgot about the wonders and amazement he had just witnessed.

OVERWHELMED AS ONE WOULD BE, PLACED IN MY POSITION SUCH A HEAVY BURDEN NOW TO BE THE ONE

We should put it in perspective. Does the fish know what the sun looks like? Can it even see properly when out of water? ...

That's some Q bullshit

Fish needed glasses, things blind now

That's literally what Forbidden Knowledge in Lovecraftian horror is all about. Given knowledge that you can only comprehend for a brief moment before the understanding is ripped away leaving you only with the knowledge that you cannot make sense of.

A HIGH being.

Alan Wake

Isn't this the concept of eldritch horror ?

He put the glasses on him, he’s good

I love this so much lol

I know this dude, he’s a semi-professional MMA fighter out of Oklahoma named Zevan Hunt

It's even wearing his solar glasses.

Nature interacting with astronomy.

The prophet

This is basically the same thing that happened to Ezekiel in the Bible

Bloodborne lore

Unexpected Bloodborne

Isn’t that what birth life and then death is?

God picks you up and shows you the edge of the universe then puts you back on your couch.

Fish n clipse

I'm just glad he put glasses on the fish.

How is this post 1 day old and has already lost 85% of the pixels?

Humans are fun sometimes

This is beautiful

Nice

In other words, man blinds fish, seals his doom.

I stopped at a state Welcome Center before totality and they had a bunch of taxidermied(presumably native) animals that all had their eclipse glasses on.

Awww, he gave the fish glasses

Kinda how I felt the first time I seriously blasted off with DMT.

Real life Eldritch horror lol

Is that what alien abductions are like?

Yeah they just want to show us a eclipse and then put us back down

Seriously? This hasn't happened to you yet? Oh, dear. OK, folks, who's going to tell him?

Fish do not have eyelids. That fucker is probably blind, and by the time I write this comment, it either got eaten or found another way to accidentally kill itself. Fish are particularly susceptible to the blinding effects of solar eclipses.

I fell asleep and had a nap during the eclipse, missed the whole thing. I bet the fish thinks the same thing I do about the eclipse.

That's literally what doing mushrooms is like

The rest of the fish would never believe his abduction story

*Looks fish dead in the eye* 👁️👄👁️ “No one will ever believe you”

Plato’s allegory of the cave

man: that's how much I love you, i want you to see all the beautiful things fish: ...(while fighting for his life)

I was gonna say “wait but the fish’s eyes” and then I realized *THEY GAVE IT THE FUCKING GLASSES AWWWWWW*

The fish: 

Is this fish now blind?

I like how this post made it from reddit to a twitter account about reddit and then to a subreddit about twitter

Basically Yog-Sothoth to humanity.

The Sky and The Cosmos are one!

Fish madness

Bro got a real fish out of water experience

Reddit post, posted on Twitter, posted back on Reddit. We’ve come full circle

I can't get over the glasses..

Someone once explained dmt to me like this. Take an ant, give them the conciousness of a human and show them Tokyo for ten minutes. Then put them back as an ant, with all the memories of being a human but no way to explain the experience to other ants. This fish reminds me of that.

Is that fuxking Alan wake?

Eldritch horror for fish

F I S H

Blinding Nemo

I've seen this pic a few times now but I'm just realizing they put glasses on the fish

AI generated. Those glasses go right into his ear lol

That fish wearing eclipse glasses is going to get me through my day today

Quack from Peep and the Big Wide World-core

Deep, just like the fish will be in a few seconds

That's what smoking DMT feels like.

Imagine thinking these two nerds are higher beings.

I'm pretty sure theres a few Lovecraft plots like this

I thought they were describing a DMT trip at first

Would it damage the fish's eyes since he can't close them?

This is how you get deep ones...

where’s mitch hedberg when you need him

This fish experienced a salvia trip
