Was about to complain about the resurgence of people drawing spamton too normal-looking now that spamtenna is popular but then I realized that Tenna would have known spamton pre-gasterization and therefore it would be perfectly reasonable to assume that he’d look like any other Addison and this information has wrecked me. He actually would look like a normal guy. Horrible. Shrink that freak right tf now

you know it increasingly actually bothers me a lot that my impression of higurashi for so many years was that it's a lot of like "wouldn't it be FUCKED UP if kids killed each other" when higurashi is very clear that the kids doing the killing are unilaterally terrified people driven to violence by the most obvious metaphor for conspiratorial thinking, reactionary ideology, & social isolation ever written

[whensomethingelsecries]

years of seeing "ooooh scary fucked up rena" fanart only to find out that every time rena's "scary" she's either being misinterpreted by keiichi (because he's afflicted by hinamizawa syndrome) or she is deep in a state of illness-induced psychosis because an adult who knew she had a chronic paranoia condition purposely manipulated her into fearing for her life, so she's lashing out like a cornered prey animal

like higurashi's undeniably got some slasher horror but the real horror is shit is so bad for these kids that you can't help but understand why violence feels like a rational response to them

[aokozaki]

In the first half of Higurashi, each arc ends with a non-canon "All Cast Review Session", where the gang break the fourth wall and encourage the reader to theorize about the mystery. Is it magic, or is it a human culprit?

In the second half, this is replaced by a series of Author's Notes from Ryukishi himself, where he basically addresses the camera like:

"Hi, I used to work in child protective services and I have some advice for what you should do when you're a young person who feels trapped and cornered by their circumstances"

It's really good.

[wheeliescoot]

I feel like a lot of this misconstruing of the original narrative is due to sub par anime adaptations in which the horrifying prose depicting the descent into madness is replaced with shock-value gore and creepy faces. For me the horror of higurashi has always been in the paranoia people can succumb to in their darkest moments, especially when feeling isolated and alone. And the minimal visuals with in-depth descriptions of the terror the characters are feeling helps convey that so much, that when you take it away, I feel there is something lost.

I think this is why the original sound novel without the redone graphics will always be my favorite. The full CGs are beautiful but there’s something haunting about the screen going black or staying on a photo-bashed background and being alone with the white words scrolling on top. There aren’t any beautiful pictures or humanity to connect yourself to. It really puts yourself in the shoes of being isolated and everything being in your head.

I’ve said this before on other socials but I don’t really feel comfortable with kids following me! Just because I might post cute or colorful art doesn’t mean my stuff is “for kids.” I won’t post anything outright graphic but I don’t want to censor myself in fear of children watching…so please unfollow if you’re under 18! Thanks!
