Usually I just reblog, but this is a question that’s been burning in my head.
What were people’s first exposure to the Akira Slide *tm? The animation where the character skids their bike sideways with one foot close to the ground.
I know it’s been replicated countless times, but I am genuinely curious. I’ll go first, my earliest exposure to this homage was in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) theme song.
If you can think of any specific usages, please let me know

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)
Deeply unsettling but not quite gore, at least until the end
The Enigma of Amigara Fault
This short story by Junji Ito is about a fault that appears in Amigara mountain after an earthquake. The earthquake exposes countless human-shaped holes in the mountain which seem to have been made about a thousand years ago. People, intrigued by these silhouettes, gather at the site and that’s when things get creepy.
It’s about a 15-20 min read, but if you haven’t read this before, you’re in for a treat. Link above.
People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".

A really funny and nsfw comic series
*Young Jaune, Sun, Yang, and Dew playing kickball in the park*
Jaune (10): You know what sounds really sad? Growing up
Sun (10): Tell me about it, me and my cousin used to watch X-Ray and Vav, but now they are in Middle school and suddenly it's gay
Dew (10): *Throws ball* Laugh while you can chumps! Because soon you'll wake up and all you wanna see is a "Titty!"
Jaune (10): *Kicks ball in anger* Oh yeah!? Well, you know what I heard!? That you're gonna be rocketing blood out of your own torso every month!
Yang (10): Take it to the bank guys, we're all screwed sideways, *catches ball* It's only a matter of time before we start awkwardly grabbing each other in the back of our parents vans.
Glynda: *Babysitting the four while coming off a hangover* These fucking kids are gonna be the death of me in the future...
Reblog for anyone who suffers can’t-remember-how-to-English-itis
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
