Ridley Scott

A maker of both awesome movies and horrible movies. While Alien, Gladiator, Blade Runner, and Prometheus were amazing, Exodus and Robin Hood and Legend were complete failures. Choose a Ridley Scott film wisely.

Man, I don't know if the next Ridley Scott film will be legendary or if it will suck completely!

Kos, or some say Kosm

A phrase used by Micolash, Host of the Nightmare, in reference to a dead (or dying) eldritch entity.

Ah, Kos, or some say Kosm... do you hear our prayers? As you once did for the Vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes! Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy.

Ninja

A covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan who is unlikely to be seen by anyone who isn't also a ninja.

Following a code of darkness and deception, ninja had some of the most advanced and complex martial arts training in history and had expertise in unorthodox military tactics that baffled pretty much anyone at the time.

Ninjas gradually disappeared from historical records during the Edo period. Theories abound regarding what exactly happened to them, but the lack of information about the matter leaves us unsure of the truth. This is not a coincidence, as the ninja code encourages ninjas to remain anonymous and mysterious.

So where are they now? The answer is actually the same one you'd get from your average person in feudal Japan- that being "We have no clue whatsoever."

A ninja has no face, leaves no name, and makes everyone wonder if he ever existed.

Cyberpunk Fiction

It is set in the future, but not far enough into it to accurately predict things. Either a very corrupt government or a very corrupt corporation is running the joint. Expect the protagonist to either be a cyborg, a hacker, or both. If said protagonist is male, they're probably a total jerk. If the protagonist is female, expect their only character trait to be "capable." Expect the protagonist to at some point have a graphic sex scene that you didn't ask for. Expect virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and drug addictions to be an important part of the plot. Sometimes, genetic experimentation or nanotechnology is also thrown in there for good measure. Expect philosophical questions to be asked a lot (especially ones regarding a character's "humanity"). There is no countryside here, just a shit ton of metallic skyscrapers lined with neon lights and advertisements. Even if it's not set in Asia, expect to see a LOT of East Asian cultural influence (particularly in the neon advertising and the way people dress). The crime rate here is usually high. The villains often take the role of a crime lord, a ruthless businessman, a killer robot/cyborg, a mysterious hacker, or a shady government agent. Body horror may or may not be present. The story is often very bleak in tone, but sometimes ends on a good note just to be different.

Cyberpunk Fiction will make you fear the future.

Synthwave

A modern genre of electronic music that is influenced primarily by 1980s pop culture. Sounds very similar to Italo Disco and usually has retro-futuristic themed album covers.

If you wish music was still like the 80s- it IS like the 80s if it's synthwave.

Guts scream

The kind of scream that only gigachads can give out, but rarely do due to the extreme circumstances required for it to happen. It is the manly scream to destroy ALL manly screams. The requirements for the scream to be provoked are:
-The one screaming must be a badass gigachad
-Having a gritty and tragic origin story as to how said gigachad became a gigachad
-Having the gigachad come to care deeply for a large group of people, but especially for a strong independent woman among them.
-The gigachad bearing witness to the leader of said group betraying everyone else in it to the point that everything and everyone the gigachad cared about is either killed, destroyed, or completely mentally broken.

-The gigachad, despite his truly badass abilities, being nonetheless helpless to save anyone he cared about.

The only known person to ever be recorded giving this scream is it's namesake, the main protagonist of Kentaro Miura's manga Berserk. Specifically, the recording is from the last moments of the 1997 anime adaptation of Berserk, where Guts screams in utter rage and horror.

*Griffith turns into Femto after willingly allowing all of his soldiers get devoured by demonic entities, and proceeds to savagely violate Casca while staring directly at Guts, who is pinned down by one of said demonic entities.*

Guts: *Guts scream*
