Anime cliches I miss because they don’t really do them any more

The sweatdrop

Liberal use of the V sign, even in situations that did not call for it and does not require a camera to be present.

Falling over because someone said or did something so incredibly stupid it made you lose all strength and will to live.

When they do the anime face thing

Making characters squishy

Passport Photo Series London-based visual artist Max Siedentopf recruited a cast of friends and strangers to sit for passport photos. Above the shoulders the participants are straight-faced and rigid, yet below they are balancing full wine glasses along their arms, taped to a wall, or even on fire.

the guy on fire just radiates fear, lol

The second to last woman is @noboneslefttosave

Me, as soon as I can find where to buy them

Me sneaking into the movie theater with sour gummy worms, skittles, sour patch kids, junior mints, milk duds, twizzlers, starburst, a wendys 4 for 4, and a six pack of pbr

we’re missing the fact someone’s T posing on us with a whole bottle of wine in glasses on her arms

When ants die, a few days later they emit oleic acid, which tells the living ants to dispose of their corpse.

A myrmecologist named Ed Wilson discovered this and dropped the chemical on a living ant. It was immediately carried off, despite the fact that it was still moving, and clearly not dead.

“I’M GETTING BETTER”

Bring out your dead. Eh, close enough.

IM NOT YET DEAD SIR

You left out the part where the ant, believing HERSELF to be dead, stayed in self imposed exile in the ant graveyard until the acid wore off and she realized she was not supposed to be in the ant graveyard.

@finite-experience, this seems like the sort of thing you’d like to see

Ant 1: To the ant graveyard with you

Ant 2: But I’m not dead

Ant 1: You smell dead

Ant 2: Fair enough

Ant 1: “I thought you were dead.”

Ant 2, after acid wears off: “I got better.”

Ant 2, returning to the colony: i lived bitch

Due to the complexities of ant reproduction, it is very difficult to genetically engineer them. The first mutant ants have just been created from Indian jumping ants (Harpegnathos saltator) and clonal raiding ants (Ooceraea biroi). They both became very antisocial and exhibited odd behaviors.

This article has more info- the ability to alter ant behavior may give way to a lot of exciting new research!

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

Things I didn’t know

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.
