I am so glad Annabeth Chase exists. I am so glad there is a blonde smart girl character with ADHD and dyslexia. I am so glad there’s a character I can completely relate to. I am so glad Annabeth Chase is with someone as amazing and loving as Percy Jackson. Thank you Rick Riordan & happy birthday Annabeth Chase.

Jason: Lemme grab my helmet

Tim: *watching his brother and their friends dramatically break into the manor, Jason’s own home, and search for Dick*

Tim: Did he deserve it?

Jason: When does he not?

Tim: Yeah, he’s upstairs in the art room.

Had to buy an axe today, because apparently SOMEONE (side eyeing Pip here) left ours in CANADA!

I- uh- heheh….

Sometimes… you just gotta stick your comfort character in a pretty outfit, to get rid of all your troubles.

They’re at an awards show and won a fashion award and also had to show off one of the things he made-

Bonus (ft. Shinya progressively getting more and more infatuated with their spouse <3):

(And maybe also getting slowly more drunk as the awards show progresses- much to the amusement of their friends-)

You can pry genderfluid Tsunagu out of my cold dead hands- /lh

Sometimes you just need to listen to the 100 people singing dramaturgy video to calm the fuck down

I had a breakdown while trying to build my roof in Minecraft. It was going fine until I reached the second roof and I was about cry because I kept fucking it up and it was already hard enough because the creator was in creative flying mode and I couldn’t see the angles and for some reason my ooga booga ass brain just couldn’t copy the way I did it last time which led me to play this MHA game for a bit which led to read smut which led me to make my rant about fanfic writers which led me to scroll me through tumblr for a bit (39 minutes) which led me to turn off all my other devices (not my ps4 it’s on rest mode because I’m downloading a new game (tower of fantasy which is genshin impact knock off which is hopefully better than genshin and more diverse)) and to get in bed and lay down even though it’s 6:22 in the morning, I’m gonna do a little meditation before I go to sleep, which will hopefully call me down a little bit because I’m not that sleepy but I am physically tired. This is the house btw

The Summer Hikaru Died and onomatopoeia

I've wanted to gush about this topic for a while and i have no organized thoughts but a lot of feelings i need to get out. First and foremost being "Holy shit this manga is so damn loud" which is a weird feeling to have since manga is generally understood to be a silent medium.

And yet the Mangaka MokuMoku Ren has filled their work to the brim with sound. Now comics using onomatopoeia (words that echo a noise ie: crunch) is nothing new the sound of a fist hitting it's target and walls being wrecked is nothing new. But usually onomatopoeia is worked into whatever action is resulting in the noise

adding both a sense of motion as well as sound. Which is what makes The Summer Hikaru Died's use of it so unique and compelling. To utilize onomatopoiea you have to give up on space that could otherwise be going to deatil work in the background or foreground. Now this is fine with smaller unobtrusive effects like Wolverine's claw extending, and there's numerous example's where a sound will take up large portions of the page to show how loud something like a bomb going off is. But i've yet to see another comic western or otherwise so consistently use this facet of the medium to instill such claustrophobia and dread. As a slower paced horror manga The Summer Hikaru Died builds it's suspense mostly through atomosphere, the supernatural happenings weighing on the surrounding evironment until they break the surface

The use of sound is heavy, it's harsh, it's a vehicle to show how wrong things have gotten from the whisper of "it's coming" heard in the ringing bell of a train crossing to the omnipresent call of birds, bugs, and frogs that pushes in on the paneling shrinking the world with their cacophony.

the way sound shrinks the world making reader and character both feel suffocated by the drone is matched by how the manga uses silence as a way to make the characters feel exposed and vulnerable. the page is now empty of distraction the world of the story on full display and it still feels wrong it's agorophobic, at least amidst the din there was some sense of anonymity being just one voice among hundrends.

even the speech bubble feels out of place as it wanders off desperate to fill the space. The manga is full of these moments of sound and silence in some dance with eachother always too much or too little, never comfortable. It adds a lot to the horror of the manga, and is just one part of many that makes The Summer Hikaru Died such an excellent manga, every chapter I can feel my skin crawl as the setting becomes more hostile to the charactres while they uncover more of the truth of their circumstances.
