Season 2 Ramble#5 - Mystery, Madness & Mayhem ver. 2

This episode is about mystery, madness and mayhem. And I love this stuff regardless of medium so I pretty much assumed I was gonna be enjoying this month's reads, and even though there weren't as much of certain tastes I was looking forward to there was still much to be enjoyed.

Anyways as I said I love this stuff, definitely the earliest thing I thought I'd want to make a little mini series out of and do continuously, definitely something i’ll be consuming podcast or no podcast. manga or no manga..

Now the setup last time was me giving some definitions of mystery, madness and mayhem then sharing my top 1 manga read in each of those three categories + a grab bag of titles at the end which you can check out below..

This time is pretty much the same but skipping the Google definitions and giving my own "definitions", which you can completely disregard if you so choose tbh, like i know words mean stuff but all stuff is bound to change anyways yk so,,,yh,,, also this time instead of one big grab bag with everything I'm gonna try and split them into their respective categories, loosely ordered from least to most enjoyed. the reads are split the usual way of stuff read this month first then older stuff after.

So definitions quickly:

mystery - the why?

madness - the what?

usually has cast vs some largely unseen thing. can be normal everyday stuff like trying to get a functional ac remote to the paranormal escapades of a microwave scientist fighting assassins through spacetime

usually has cast vs some seen but unbelievable thing. And again can go from normal everyday society™ to the paranormal blood bending psychic mass murderer

mayhem - the everything, everywhere, all at once. To lean on the google definition a bit, chaos.

Just to be clear these aren’t some clear cut genre borders or anything just some themes/motifs i like in my media. and in fact i tend to find where there’s one at least one other follows, so these splits are based on which of each seemed to be the primary focus in the manga.

Getting into it now,, top mystery madness and mayhem read this month go!

Top Mystery:

The decagon house murders (Original Book Author - Yukito Ayatsuji, Manga Adaptation - Hiro Kiyohara | 31 chapters)

This is a mystery story revolving around a club for people who enjoy mystery stories,, visiting an island where a house recently burned down and people died under mysterious circumstances… surprise surprise, play stupid games, win stupid prizes,, but even though it was a classic whodunnit, the cast being all mystery buffs meant they pretty much knew all the dos and don'ts and yet… life comes at you fast…

The title alone was a pull because sacred geometry is really cool to look at and see,, if you don't know what that is don't get sucked in just hail the helix and move on + sacred geometry didn't play any obvious role in this anyways. art was nice, really easy on the eyes, pretty cool cast and as I said they were all mystery buffs so that created this almost cast vs plot situation which was really cool. watching them go back and forth amongst each other trying to figure it all out and avoid tragedy was nice, and it didn't take too long to get started or wrap things up. just 31 chapters as I said.

Didn't see the end coming at all and it's actually really crazy how simple it was,, almost cheating and bordering on cheap… but it was something that the original book author admitted relied heavily on being in a written medium and so was still a challenge to pull off in manga.. all that being said I clearly still dug it as it was my top mystery read this month.

mystery grab bag:

the night fish, another , dead man's questions and thus spoke Rohan kishibe

Top Madness:

Memories of her… (Katsuhiro Otomo | 16 chapters )

This is actually the basis for my favourite Otomo animated work called Memories, a three piece anthology that I will continually highly highly recommend. if the name Katsuhiro Otomo doesn't mean anything to you he's the guy that did Akira… if the name Akira doesn't mean anything to you then check that out and thank him for the bike slide.

This work is also an anthology but with about 10 pieces of varying lengths. manga anthology pieces tend to be short and usually surprisingly good, even when I’m accounting for how good I tend to find them and even though I went in with extra heightened expectations, because Otomo, they were thankfully pretty well met.

Individual anthology pieces tend to be short and impactful in some way. Having now been through a bunch more Otomo stuff since starting this podcast I can honestly say his stuff generally does have that punch, does have that impact and that was thankfully present here. again they're all super short so it doesn't make sense to go into them too much more than that, but what I will say is that the impact of otomo's works, at least for me, comes out of a great balance of dramatic environmental storytelling and thoughtful natural dialogue that makes you look more critically at the world,, even if they're usually packaged with a healthy dash of humour. for the record, Akira is my least favourite animated work by him and though i’ll definitely admit it’s the most famous for its impact in terms of art direction for a reason fr, I still highly recommend checking out his other stuff to really see the range of his greatness outside just the one movie, Akira.

Anyways this had great art nonetheless, pretty much expected from him tbh, pretty much every story held my attention, the only thing is that it was a milder madness so to speak rather than the spicier types I tend to prefer.

Quick examples of each so I'm not just saying words that don't connect, a spicier madness would be like Berserk, Elfen Lied, Tokyo Ghoul, Deadman Wonderland, etc., usually based on some set of perpetually unfortunate events, that drives the cast to take extreme actions.. though I also like when the mc and world is already just like that, like in Dorohedoro how extreme absurdities were just everyday routine. lots of messy spaghetti situations in the spicier types…. a milder madness would be like Goodnight Punpun, Welcome to the NHK or even Serial Experiments Lain The Nightmare of Fabrication, where it's almost as if the existential mundanity of life is deafeningly scratching on a whiteboard and slowly pushing the cast to the brink.

madness grab bag: MPD Psycho, smiley, 6000, world apartment horror, Usuzumi no Hate, denjin n, tekkonkinkreet

Top Mayhem:

As the gods will 2 (Muneyuki Kaneshiro on story and Akeji Fujimura on art | 186 chapters)

This is the sequel which is pretty much death games, death games and more death games. since reading part 1 last year I'd been told that it fell off in part 2 which I definitely agree with but maybe even because of my lowered expectations it held up better than I thought it would.

I read part 1 last year and it was my top 1 new manga l read that combined mystery, madness and mayhem, 21 chapters, I definitely highly recommend.

I say it all the time but survival/death games are simple. what you see is what you get. they're all pretty similar, group of folks find themselves in some inexplicable situations that they can't get out of without completing some usually wild challenges. what really defines one from the other is the nature of the challenges, the more unique and roundabout, usually the better. see squid games hype and the saw series somehow still running to this day, 10th one is dropping this year apparently,, Google it if you think I'm messing with you.

In any case the games were definitely unique, I think I really dug it because the game setups were very whimsical and almost childlike in nature but then it turns out the reason the chicken crossed the road was to kill you… the art was okay, the cast was really enjoyable and felt pretty real and not too contrived for the situation like "oh I'm the smartest guy in the galaxy" or "I'm the girl with a horribly timed bad attitude" etc, it was just folks trying to survive and getting wrecked randomly, such is life and that's what I was there for.

Admittedly the end was weak, and it was petering off a little before but yh the end was definitely weak but not to the point of regretting the read. we finally got an up close look at the mastermind behind the whole thing,, though they themselves were also a little disappointing but again not enough to make me really regret reading,, the final face off was close tho… especially after they went on for so long. like I said last season, part of part 1's charm was hitting the nail on the head with story length and not overstaying its welcome, part 2 only got away because the games were so wacky as obvious as the deadly outcomes were…

mayhem grab bag: as the gods say 0, after god, shibatarian

that's it for stuff this month

now older stuff, a lot of the same names as last time but some shifts in order + the grab bags have a bit more stuff and ofc it's split this time

Old Top Mystery:

Soil vs Billy Bat (really tough call I'm sorry)

spoke on soil properly in season 1 ramble 1, it was my top read for the year of 2021, the closest thing to a pure mystery I think I'll ever read vs the real world paradigm shifting conspiracies of Billy Bat, spoke on for the first time at length in season 1 ramble 11 where I focused on Naoki Urasawa, all I'm saying is Naoki Urasawa is a living legend and the moon landing is dubious at best

Old Mystery grab bag:

20th century boys, pluto, monster (Urasawa in general tbh), acca 13, Eden: it’s an endless world, liar game, junji ito works in general, butterfly storage, toilet bound hanako kun, ptsd radio and the ihon series which tied last episode, summer time rendering

Old Top Madness:

Fire punch

chainsaw man is soft. enough said.

Old Madness grab bag:

homunculus, welcome to the nhk, soul eater, made in abyss, cigarette anthology, hellsing, Alice in borderlands, dolly kill kill, junji ito works in general, shuzo oshimi works in general, inio asano stuff ,shigahime, deadman wonderland, takopi’s original sin, believers, gogo monster, alien 9, tokyo ghoul series, to my dearest self with malice aforethought

Old Top Mayhem

JJBA vs Omniscient Reader

I dare any Jojo fan to deny it's chaotic, I want any non fans to do a double take on that title and this young man's figure and tell me you think there are any normal events in this story (spoiler alert, there are none)

Omniscient reader is actually from just this year season 2 ramble 1 new year new worlds,, an isekai,,, manhwa even,, but my first top new read of this year nonetheless, def got v crazy, for less ramble and more words check out the ramble but also trust and just go read lol

Old Mayhem grab bag:

Chainsaw man, Berserk(rip Miura one time every time), parasyte, jujutsu kaisen, as the gods say pt1,terra formars blood lad,inuyashiki, jackals, junji ito works in general, choujin x ,ajin, magical girl apocalypse, bokurano, tougen anki, jagaaaan, origin, raqiya, ddddd(anime), akumetsu top for last seasons

The peak of all this in my mind though is still dorohedoro…

this is literally the first panel of the manga

and yh... that's the ramble 😅😅, thanks for checking it out this far, hope you find a good read o/

okay so I was thinking about what the world could’ve had if we were given a 12/clara/missy throuple moment. Like. the dynamics there would be insaneeeee and I Need to see that play out because it would be so chaotic but also fun and also that old man (gender neutral) would not have a Second of peace. I was inclined for a second to say they could rival the vamps (iwtv love…. how many fucking sides even does that need. I’ll say decagon to play it safe) but they never could tbh because twelve and clara would be deranged about each other and stop paying attention to missy for like a full three minutes and she’d be like “well, I can see when I’m not wanted. you two have fun” (genuinely and served with cunt as always) and then pop off to wherever. twelve and clara have not even noticed they’re too busy staring into each others eyes intensely. and then like three weeks later in teleports missy in the middle of a life threatening situation in like the most bizarre camp lingerie you’ve ever seen

hi, hello, heard you were too shy to approach, so: what's your favorite song at the moment? any book recomendations?

hey! yes I was 🤭 thank you for reaching out instead! ^=^

so one of my favourite artists (Jeff Satur) released his debut album yesterday!! I've been listening to it on repeat. I'm especially obsessed with Fade, and I love it in all the three language versions, I guess you could say that's my fav song atm! what about you? do you have any artist/song recommendations?

---

as for books, I think it depends on what you're interested in reading. my favourite story of all time is Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint- its perfect if you're into intricate fantasy isekais with some solid worldbuilding and angst. that being said, it's a webnovel and it's 551 chapters long (and technically it's still ongoing with side-stories being published regularly). but putting that aside, here are some of my favs based on the genre

mystical realism: Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune , If You Could See the Sun by Ann Liang (this one is YA and more romance-focused)

crime/mystery: The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji, The Truly Devious Trilogy by Maureen Johnson, 13 Minutes (the last two are YA)

literary fiction(less plot more vibes): The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa, Normal People by Sally Rooney, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

psychological (slow spiral into madness): Bunny by Mona Awad, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

comedy (not sure if this is what it would fall into but it made me laugh a lot): Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, The Mystery of Henri Pick by David Foenkinos

mythology or mythology-heavy: Where the Mountain Meets the Moon (this is written with a much younger audience in mind but god. it's so good. oh and it's Chinese Mythology based btw), Circe by Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

i am realizing now in hindsight that this list is a lot more comprehensive than what you had in mind 😅 either way, lmk what you think if you do pick up any of these books (or if you already have read any)!!

Hi, Math Tumblr!

Question first, than I will allow myself to ramble.

Are there names for the families of polytopes¹? Triangle based polytopes are simplexes, square based are hypercubes and orthoplexes, the demicubes are, I guess, demicubes. (I do not yet understand demicubes.) But do 24, 120, and 600-cells have matching group names with their higher and lower dimensional counterparts?

-

Me and my weird little kids love shapes. My youngest also loves collecting and my eldest loves trading (but mostly cubes. Trading is a way to get more cubes). For the last 2 years, I've been making my kids collectible trading cards of convex polyhedra.

If they get a full set (like the 5 platonic solids, the 3 pyramids, or the 8 antiprisms [we don't use any regular polygons above the decagon]) they can trade them in for a special card. In an effort to provide more cubes (there's only one. So it's been a challenge) the special cards are the fundamental complex and regular polytopes in dimensions 3 to 10.

But I don't know much about extra dimensions. My math skills mostly stopped developing when schools brought in the math that requires calculators and ~shiver~ evil decimals. (With a brief glowing resurgence for some aspects of linear algebra in university. Beautiful matrices!) While I COULD just make a set of hypercubes, my completionist tendencies do not accept this. Can anyone tell me if there are names I could use for sets for each of the uniform polychorons?

Additional appreciated information:

Do any of the higher dimensions have a specific term for their polytopes? (Including old terms that aren't often used but sound cool.)

Are there any fun visualization for higher dimensional polytopes? I can use orthographic representations, but anything with pseudo-3D would be more appealing to the kids. Also, do you know somewhere I could find such things online? Currently, I am using wikipedia. I like sets to have consistent visuals with each other, but they don't always need to be consistent with the rest of the cards.

-

¹for the non-math weirdos: 'polytopes' are objects with flat sides (faces). A 2D object is a 'polygon', a 3D object is a 'polyhedron', and 4D things like the tesseract from the Marvel movies are 'polychorons'. You can keep adding dimensions forever.

The Super Galactic Centre draws us into a higher cosmic relationship with the eternal force of creation.

An interweaving, a soul-mate connection as the Feminine & Masculine fully unite as ONE, entwining together in a cosmic DNA spiral of life.

Interestingly the Super Galactic Centre lies at a right angle to the Galactic Centre. Just like sunlight refracts of water droplets at a right angle to create a rainbow, Super Galactic Centre Cosmic Radiation Wave emissions refract through the Galactic Centre amplifying the GC Wave of LOVE streams and awakening humanity into the next cycle of Evolution.

The SGC acts like an alembic, a cosmic womb where base material is transmuted into gold.

--Star Nectar Astrology

SGC Image: Mahaboka

More on the SuperGalacticCentre - also called M49/M87, i simply dropped the decagon (plan view of a DNA helix) on top of the supergalaxy centered at the two major galaxies (M49/87) and immediately we can see many of the other galaxies, that birthed from M49/87, do so at the nodes of the decagon, just like has been seen in our own DNA, we're looking at fractal golden ratio universe - everyone within our galaxy that looks at M49/87 , looks out through the north pole of our galaxy, as the north galactic pole points directly towards M49/87, we're now galactically aware reps. the alphanumerics on the image clarify further. --Grayham Forscutt

oh god the decagon house murders is so good so far it's blissful. the meta discussion of the detective genre begins so rapidly, the dialogue between ellery and leroux is wonderful. murdering a mystery novel appreciation club is such a lovely premise for a murder mystery.

[nerdapologist]

Okay so it’s been a long time since I’ve done a book recommendation (actually since my very first post) but I was thinking about it, and I have been in a pretty heavy book slump for a while now. On a whim, I decided I’d try out a new genre to see if it would pull me out and it worked pretty spectacularly.

I have never mentioned it on this site before, but Clue is probably one of my favorite things of all time. I love the movie, I love the board game, and I love all things based on it. This obsession translates pretty well into me loving the Murder Mystery genre. In a ranking of my top five movies of all time, Knives Out at number four directly follows Clue at number three (number one being The Batman (2022). So picking up a Murder Mystery at Barnes and Noble was a last ditch effort to spark my love of reading again.

The Decagon House Murders was written by an author nicknamed the Agatha Christie of Japan, Yukito Ayatsuji, and in my opinion, a GENIUS. This book is so so good at translating the idea of a group of people, stuck in one place with no way to contact the outside world (commonly associated with And Then There Were None and Clue) into the modern day. The book presents two separate murders that at first seem entirely unrelated but subverts the expected idea of who and how they were committed.

I’m totally writing this recommendation in the middle of my history class so I can’t actually tell if this is digestible at all, but if I were to recommend any book to someone who wants to break out of Young Adult Literature into an older audience without the spice of most adult smut books, this would be the book I’d recommend.

[flightfoot]

So if we base the PV verse on info we get from the in universe movie, do you think maybe at some point Rena was supposed to be a possible love interest or ship tease with Chat Noir? Love decagon.

I kinda doubt it? Alya and Nino really seem to be a Beta Couple to Adrien and Marinette. I dig the idea of Alya and Adrien being an item though XD.

[purpleyoonn]

What are your main stories and what are back burner stories? Also what story is your favorite to write for right now?❤️

So my main stories right now are tlblw, enchanted, and baby!

My backburner stories are red string, petrichor, dance of time, and I’m thinking about rewriting abmol.

I also do have some one shot series that are back,back burner like doughnuts and shell casings.

My favorite to write right now might be enchanted. I am loving the fantasy aspects and world building! I also love the way I’ve written the main characters so far. Like basically mc is in the middle of leaning decagon courting and makes yoongi soooooooo flustered!

Thank you so much for asking!!!!
