I started imagining your comic characters as you ranted, especially the cutest bald one that I oddly became fond of and have to go back often to see him....well imagining him rant in your place made me laugh more than ever!
it's funny how it only took him less than a day to snap, and draw a diagram of the sun in order to explain how it works.
I've read an article about the use of loud music in Guantanamo bay as psychological warfare, and it was described by the author of the article (from first hand experience) as something that makes your brain melt, figuratively of course. They blasted rock music at full volume for days on end in attempt to crack down the prisoners.
Speaking of stupid lyrics. If it's half past 12 it can't possibly be 5 O'clock anywhere. time zones don't work that way. My most abiding reason for hating the country genre
this is freaking hilarious, been reading goblins for a long while now and I just seen the link at the buttom of the page and was like: " What the hell is that about Bieber here???"
Interesting. That I hadn't heard, but it makes sense. The regular earbuds most people use block out less sound than headphones (in my experience--They just seem echoey to me...), but the less background noise, the lower the volume, etc.. the better off your hearing.
Still, barring good noise-cancelling earbuds, I'd vote for headphones. Even if the volume's higher, the sound isn't funneled as directly into your ear.
Then again it's not like I know what I'm talking about! :p
@SolarGranulation Just looked up the lyrics; not the name of the song ("Save the Best for Last"); and I think the point is "these things don't happen, which is a metaphor for how surprising this thing I'm talking about is." Less effective since snow CAN fall in June, but still that's what she seems to be going for.
THUNT! Hang in there, man. Don't kill your hearing. You've chosen a dark path, but you can get through this... and I'm sure it'll fuel interesting monsters in Goblins later on.
Good lord... Thunt... I was worried when I first read about the experiment... but... but.. don't give yourself an anuerism... please... I like Goblins too much... it's bad enough you have to "rest" or do stuff in the "real world" that isn't making Goblins... but if you die, that'd be horrible! ;-)
You will either be crazy, deaf, or have reached the kind of patience and tolerance usually reserved for saints and peaceful protesters by the end of this.
Best of luck. Back out if it really starts to hurt you.
What @ObsidianKnight90 said. Earbuds will kill your hearing. If you can't torture your family by putting it on some speakers, at least get a pair of actual headphones. They'll still do damage, but not as much, and not as quickly as the in-ear types. That's pretty well-documented if you want to look around the internet.
Nah - sound is sound; the main danger isn't what produces it, but how loud it ends up being.
That said, earbuds are probably easier to turn up too loud (both because they can handle it and because it'll annoy your surroundings far less than open headphones at the same apparent volume).
It's been speculated that the best in the long run are good, noise-blocking earbuds (the in-ear kind), since they block background noise so well that you can keep them really _quiet_.
Earbuds all day is a BAD idea. It's like continuously drinking water. Sure, for a while it's good, but sooner or later it'll start killing you. Find a room in your house, put the music on some speakers, and stay in the room. It'll save your ears a LOT of damage, provided they don't get boxed by your loved ones out of annoyance.
if you are going to do this, use speakers-keeping headphones in your ears will increase bacterial growth, and you will probably start getting earaches, and that could damage your hearing, in addition to any damage from the volume of the audio.
Seriously Thunt, talk to a doctor about this, I really doubt that listening to music through earphones all day long is good for your ears. You might make permanent damage.
lol, looking forward to how this will affect your ability to draw, or your dreams for that matter. Wonder if you'll get really wacky justin bieber dreams.
Dude, he's 17 years old, wtf do you expect? He's singing to young teenagers, young girls. You think they freaking care about what powers the sun? Why do you even waste your time hating. Please do something with your life.
Regarding your assertion that there is good, inspiring music out there which you could listen to continuously and be none the worse off...
I think we need a control experiment to demonstrate that. After you're finished with Bieber, I expect a second month-long loop listening to the artist of your choice.
Forgive him for not understanding exactly how the sun works. Studies have proven that every consecutive minute spent listening to Justin Bieber has the same effect on the mental faculties of ten minutes of lost sleep.
Maybe you could vent your frustration this month with a Tempts Fate story where Tempts goes through something similar? He could be banished to the logic-defying, girl-sunny hills of Beib and see all this as actual scenery.
His adventures would parallel how you're feeling while you draw the page... joy, frustration, madness, or whatever.
I once listened to the Benny Hill theme for 10 hours. This... this does not compare. Don't soccumb to the madness that is Bieber, Thunt. You're our light that feeds the sun!
I can't be the only person who doesn't think this is funny. For the love of all that is not Bieber, Thunt.. STOP. You're going to die and we're going to lose Goblins forever!!!
WE HAVE TO STOP THIS INSANITY BEFORE BIEBER STEALS THUNT'S SOUL!!!!
I think this is a really bad idea. You don't know the kind of permanent psychological damage you could be doing to yourself. You went from a regular, laid-back guy... to an enraged maniac who couldn't speak clearly... IN ONE DAY! All that being said... keep it up. =]
Thunt, you should have done this in February. Then you would have only had to put up with that crap for 28 days instead. I feel for you, I really do. Please do your best to keep your sanity.
I really thought this would be an april fools joke but..no..he's really doing it. I've also never heard bieber. I'd like to keep that way. stay strong
Thunt, I hate to break it to you... but your understanding of what powers the sun is wrong too. And we've known it for centuries.
Inert heat couldn't possibly put out as much light as the sun does for the length of time the sun lasts. The sun is powered by fusion. It converts hydrogen into helium, for the most part. Yep - the sun is the biggest nuclear power station in the solar system. (And it does a better job of it than we can manage down here!)
@epa2113 I just double checked the meaning of the word "inert". Looks like I misused the word. I was under the impression that "inert" meant "within". Woops. What I meant was that the Sun's power is self generating and comes from within it and not from a direct, outside source. Thanks for the heads up.
I hate to break it to you, but Einstein was from THIS century...in order for your statement about us knowing about it for Centuries (plural) is only true if we had known about Nuclear Fusion in 1811...
@PomaiKajiyama Actually, we knew it couldn't be residual heat, or any chemical reaction we knew of, centuries ago. It's not hard to calculate how much energy the sun is giving off, and thus how long any given energy source would last... and residual heat only makes it a few tens-of-thousands of years. We've known (scientifically) that the earth was older than that for centuries.
We figured out what WOULD work at the start of the 1900's, yes.
Who is the magical timeless "we" you keep speaking of? What is "not hard" to you? Also...your sense of time scale is still WAY off...Lord Kelvin...who first crafted the theory of the sun running of residual heat wasn't even born until 1823, a full 12 years after the minimum amount of time required for more than one century to pass.
@epa2113, well, not centuries - mere decades. Before the nucleosynthesis that drives the sun was suggested by people like Hoyle, the actual power source was a matter of heated argument. Some suggested gravitational collapse (which *is* the case for pre-main sequence stars, except during their Li and D flashes), etc. But none could keep the sun going for the then-current age estimates of the Earth (which were themselves gross underestimates).
Thunt appears to have meant "innate", not "inert".
I love the comic but man....Your so screwed...Do us all a favor and have Dies litteraly die after 30 days of bieber with you, there is no way in hell he could die in a more horrible manner.
Man, full respect for your long suffering, but if one happens to be listening some real good, true and genius shit (say, Pink Floyd or whatever) constantly, they will still end up like you are now: cursing the day they were born...
Btw Justin Bieber: he really IS an inspiration for the new generation - to get up and fuckin' do it better.
I CANNOT POSSIBLY GIVE THIS ENOUGH LIKES!!!!!! I have gained infinite respect for you. You are taking one for the team to make the Bieber Menace known!
And so we see your sanity slowly slipping away, for the love of god stop now before you are forever lost in a world of horrible pop and teenage girls.
pff, I've listened to Deadmau5 for a month, I'm fine-GIANT FISH TREES OF GALGAMEX 7! also, never said that Justin Bieber was a rocket scientist, he's just a pretty boy. and you're too good for him to be his girl, you're Danielle's girl. :P
Ouch, my brain. I just looked up one of Justin Bieber's songs on youtube (I've honestly never heard them before)... and well... ouch. I do now think Thunt is insane for going through with this...
Ok, I bet five bucks that by the sixth day, he gnaws off his own leg in an attempt to ignore the pain. Just stay away from the hands Thunt! We still want to see goblins!
i think ill unsub for the next 30 days...i dont know this beaber kid everyone seems to love to talk about but i rly wana hear less from him and not more.
sucks when people u like decide to go on a 30day rant about him :(
Thunt, you are a great cartoonist and we will remmember you for the rest of our lives, always. To us, Goblins will be one of the best comics we have, or will ever have read (don't forget to finish it before Beiber finishes you) I can only hope that you are still alive after facing the wrath of Beiber (aka. evil incarnate)
Hey Thunt-- Bieber's not that far off, actually. The light we see from the sun mostly comes from its photosphere as a result of thermal radiation but it is reasonable to claim it is "fed" from within. The process of fusion in the sun's core releases high energy gamma rays (a form of light) which, as they interact in other layers is needed to maintain the sun's thermodynamic equilibrium and its surface temperature. I think the metaphor, in that context, works pretty well. Awesome line, IMO;-)
Maybe you should reconsider and make it a WEEK of bieber...that's still extremely impressive and hella annoying, but potentially with decreased insanity
Poor Thunt .... I remember when I took my 30 days of "twisting my testicles at noon and midnight" .... I feel for you, man .... you must be CRAZY to do this !!!!
I've listened to one band for months on end. I like repetition, so it's no big deal for me. I don't listen to them CONSTANTLY, because that requires a level of dedication that I do not have, but yeah, I'm not crazy. Am I, giant purple elephant teling me to kill my family?
What I really don't get is why listen to it for thirty days? How many albums are there? Two, maybe three?
If you listen each album three times and still don't like it chances are you never will.
I think I understand the point you are trying to make ... You don't want to write off something until you've tried it yourself. Thirty days is overdoing it, imho.
Also, there are things out there you don't have to try first to know that they're not for you. For me, Bieber's music is one of them.
ofcourse music can inspire millions of people... but they won't listen non stop to it. that's just crazy. some songs are indeed worth listening to for months after you hear it... but the same artist non stop that's a whole different thing.
@Sieola i didn't want to sound like I'm giving an order, sorry if I sounded like that.. I was just giving an idea, suggesting.. I know it is Their decision, Their life, and I respect that highly..
I'm highly interested in this experiment, as a psychiatrist-wanna-be-and-hopefully-to-be, it is really interesting for me :D
Please, THunt, don't go insane. Also, please reconsider and make exceptions for the court and for your son's birthday. Those are reasonable exceptions.
Tarol, get a stress ball. MULTIPLE stress balls. That way, you don't damage your pretty drawings demonstrating his inanity. You damage the stress balls instead.
Dude XD. You have GOT to be a masochist or something. I gotta respect your strength, though. I can't stand five minutes. You've lasted through a whole day. You, sir, have earned +500,000 man points. You may now look Chuck Norris in the eye without fear of retribution.
I am greatly depressed by hearing that you will no longer be the man in charge of goblins, I have been reading goblins since highschool and it in fact helped me through the last year of highschool by being something to look forward to, I found the entire concept, artwork, and pretty everything about Goblins to be simply amazing, and will miss your work at a writer/artist!
Really, no offence to Bieber (though if he takes some I'll be delighted), but listening to music for 4-6 hours through headphones makes my head wanna explode...
You are a crazy bastard to even try this, you are going to be in the funny farm by the time you finish! So long, and thanks for all the fish, errr, comics!
Oh dear... Loving support to Danielle as the horrendus "music" (Actually music needs lyrics that tells a story. I personally like Country, Musicals or anything by Jonathan Coulton or Joss Whedon for about 80-90% of my listening for this reason.) warps your reality and shortens your fuse.
Best of luck. I shall check for updates as they come.
you do realise that if justin beiber hears about this little project that he may decide to come visit you and sing live as a publicity stunt. Or... because your his number one girl :P
I recommend an analgesic. Think of it like lyrics to a song that makes little sense, like any song in Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (even if you happen to understand German). Now that I think about it, feeding light to the sun might actually make a little more sense than that 14+ hour opera.
Day 28: "Light feeding the sun... that is such an awesome line! And I'm his girl, too. I hope I'm a pretty girl. Oh look, the purple kangaroo is back!"
You poor, poor, masochistic man. Well maybe masochist is the wrong word, you don't seem to be enjoying this at all and it's only day one. I'd just like to say I'm very sorry for you, because no good can come of this.
remember to stop shaving too, so as your mind begins to go you can look as scraggly and freaked out as you will eventually be. They'll love that on your court date! You can go all bug-eyed and start screaming about vagina ears.
Dude, I'm seriously worried about your mental state after prolonged exposure to this .. .... music-thingy.
But your song line is indeed a epic one. The light that feeds the sun. Bahahaha! (but then, maybe it was intended, to play tricks with not-so-bright girls' minds? As he is essentially saying she does not exist, as in, not existing)
I do think you're missing the possible metaphor within that lyric. You need to anthropomorphise the sun more. See, she's the light that inspires the sun to keep on shining the way he does... or something. Actually... maybe I'm reading too much into it.
u can do it!!! Godspeed!

I hate to break it to you, but Einstein was from THIS century...in order for your statement about us knowing about it for Centuries (plural) is only true if we had known about Nuclear Fusion in 1811...
PomaiKajiyama 11 months ago
@PomaiKajiyama Actually, we knew it couldn't be residual heat, or any chemical reaction we knew of, centuries ago. It's not hard to calculate how much energy the sun is giving off, and thus how long any given energy source would last... and residual heat only makes it a few tens-of-thousands of years. We've known (scientifically) that the earth was older than that for centuries.
We figured out what WOULD work at the start of the 1900's, yes.

Who is the magical timeless "we" you keep speaking of? What is "not hard" to you? Also...your sense of time scale is still WAY off...Lord Kelvin...who first crafted the theory of the sun running of residual heat wasn't even born until 1823, a full 12 years after the minimum amount of time required for more than one century to pass.

@epa2113 Nuclear... what happens in the sun is fusion, not fission (nuclear power) the sun is the exact opposite of a nuclear power plant
Moogrez 10 months ago
@epa2113, well, not centuries - mere decades. Before the nucleosynthesis that drives the sun was suggested by people like Hoyle, the actual power source was a matter of heated argument. Some suggested gravitational collapse (which *is* the case for pre-main sequence stars, except during their Li and D flashes), etc. But none could keep the sun going for the then-current age estimates of the Earth (which were themselves gross underestimates).
Thunt appears to have meant "innate", not "inert".

Hey Thunt-- Bieber's not that far off, actually. The light we see from the sun mostly comes from its photosphere as a result of thermal radiation but it is reasonable to claim it is "fed" from within. The process of fusion in the sun's core releases high energy gamma rays (a form of light) which, as they interact in other layers is needed to maintain the sun's thermodynamic equilibrium and its surface temperature. I think the metaphor, in that context, works pretty well. Awesome line, IMO;-)

I've listened to one band for months on end. I like repetition, so it's no big deal for me. I don't listen to them CONSTANTLY, because that requires a level of dedication that I do not have, but yeah, I'm not crazy. Am I, giant purple elephant teling me to kill my family?
AndrewZaccheus 11 months ago
What I really don't get is why listen to it for thirty days? How many albums are there? Two, maybe three?
If you listen each album three times and still don't like it chances are you never will.
I think I understand the point you are trying to make ... You don't want to write off something until you've tried it yourself. Thirty days is overdoing it, imho.
Also, there are things out there you don't have to try first to know that they're not for you. For me, Bieber's music is one of them.

I recommend an analgesic. Think of it like lyrics to a song that makes little sense, like any song in Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (even if you happen to understand German). Now that I think about it, feeding light to the sun might actually make a little more sense than that 14+ hour opera.

Dude, I'm seriously worried about your mental state after prolonged exposure to this .. .... music-thingy.
But your song line is indeed a epic one. The light that feeds the sun. Bahahaha! (but then, maybe it was intended, to play tricks with not-so-bright girls' minds? As he is essentially saying she does not exist, as in, not existing)
THEFREAKISH 11 months ago
I do think you're missing the possible metaphor within that lyric. You need to anthropomorphise the sun more. See, she's the light that inspires the sun to keep on shining the way he does... or something. Actually... maybe I'm reading too much into it.
