#but i am not immune to those quotes that simply slap

[kaurwreck]

Hello I was wondering if you had a post of atsushi and chuuya quoting their IRL books? I thought I saw a post like that but I may be wrong

I've invited games in which I've responded to asks with lines from my favorite Nakahara Chuuya poems.

But, I haven't done the same with Nakajima Atsushi. I love reading Nakajima Atsushi's works, but his short stories, much like Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's, are tightly written; it would pain me a bit to pluck quotes out of context, when the punchiness of their stories can't be divorced from their overall construction.

(Which implies Nakahara Chuuya's meter and narratives aren't as clever, but really, I'm just far more ignorant regarding poetry and my ability to interpret poetry than I am short stories. I'm slightly more capable when navigating free verse like Arthur Rimbaud's, but what can I say, other than perhaps Nakahara Chuuya was right when, according to Kazuo Dan, he drunkenly shouted at Osamu Dazai, "There is no way a novelist can comprehend the soul of a poet!")

That said, there are other blogs that will share quotes from the irl works like @bsd-bibliophile, so perhaps that's who you're thinking about!

If the 600 follower things are open, maybe 26 with Nezu? Thank you!!!

(Also, have a random wholesome scene since your new AU where All Might is abusive destroyed me. I loved it though!)

The kids are going on a field trip and pass Dagobah beach. Dad might not so casually mentions that Izuku cleaned the whole thing by himself. Cue shock and 1-A showering him in the love and recognition he deserves.

From Hamlet: Hello hello! I am still open to requests indeed and have around 7-ish left? If no new ones arrive. And that's such a cute idea, I bet he’d be floundering under all the positive attention. 

Quote: “He hated being mad, it was exhausting.” 

There was no end to the complaints Nezu had around the governing of the Heroics industry. If you’d asked him what his biggest complaint was – maybe 5 minutes ago – he would have said something along the lines of the poor and often subjective handling of the top 100 charts, or maybe the way Underground Heroes weren’t paid with the lack of advertiser support in mind and instead received basic rates. If you asked him right now? Well it would probably whatever they had done to land a bleeding, twelve-year-old, legally licensed Pro Hero in the infirmary bed in front of him. Aizawa, who’d brought him in, didn’t look much happier. Recovery Girl was on her way, and by the expletives he’d heard over the phone, she wasn’t exactly pleased either – though whether that was at the time of night or the situation was anyone’s guess.

This kid was holding up remarkably well, considering the rather imposing air of two angry Pros in an empty school. That wasn’t to say he was doing great, the cuts around his eye looked incredibly painful and he continued to rub at the skin of his hand in a nervous tic.

“Stop that.” Snapped Aizawa, glaring at the offending hand. The kid jumped violently, then placed his hands beside him, worrying at the cloth covering of the bed instead. “Look, kid. We aren’t angry at you.” A good deal of the tension left the child’s frame instantly, tense frown morphing into a tremulous smile. Nezu nodded, hopping up onto a chair to better make eye contact with the child. He tried to bleed then tension from his frame; the cuddly animal look wasn’t exactly something he enjoyed but the child looked miserable.

“Hello!” He chirped. The child focused on him in earnest and brightened.

“Oh – oh! You’re the Pro Hero Nezu! I didn’t notice you, I’m so sorry! I loved your work in the Naruhata quirkless trafficking ring, I was really interested in how you made some of those connections, I thought the evidence the police had collected was weak at best, but your deductions were spot on. Not just accurate but really well thought out, I loved seeing work utilising quirk-centric psychological profiles, even if the public perception of them is poor, the evidence backing them up seems sound!” The child slaps a hand other his mouth, blushing furiously. “I’m sorry.” He mumbled through his hands. “Sometimes my mouth runs faster than my brain.”

Nezu’s smile was genuine now. He wasn’t immune to compliments, and the boy’s assessment of the case was well thought out – especially for a child. He shook himself out of the conversation his brain wanted to have and instead focused on the task at hand. From the corner of his eye, he could swear Aizawa was grinning. “It’s ok,” he soothed, the boy slowly lowering his hands from his mouth. “Your take aways from that case were very well thought out and while I’d love to get into them, I feel we have more pressing matters at the moment.” The child nodded.

“So I can stop calling you ‘kid’, could you give us a name?” Aizawa deadpanned. Nezu clapped his paws together.

“Yes, that would be rather helpful!”

The child squirmed slightly, before sighing. “Midoriya Izuku.” Nezu wondered if he’d heard that name before.

Aizawa held out a phone in front of Midoriya. The child looked at it quizzically. “You call your parents, or I call the Heroics Commission.” The threat didn’t exactly work as intended, Midoriya smiling sheepishly at Aizawa.

“Who do you think I got my license, Eraserhead?” Aizawa swore, loudly. Nezu felt rather inclined to do the same. Still, he dutifully typed in his number, handing it over to the older Pro. Aizawa put the phone on speaker.

“Yagi Toshinori speaking, who would this be?” Midoriya giggled sleepily. Nezu internally pondered the difference in name.

“Hello, would you be the guardian of one Midoriya Izuku?” Aizawa ground out, looking fainting despairing that he hadn’t just handed the phone to Nezu. Nezu was quite content to watch him suffer.

“Yes? Is he alright?” The voice was worried now.

“I assume you are aware of his extracurricular activities?” The other line was silent but for a few muttered English curses.

“If you hurt one hair on his –“ Strange, his voice seemed rather familiar when angry.

“I’m Eraserhead. Pro Hero and teacher at UA High School. Midoriya got injured in a scene we were both present at and I’ve come to the rather alarming realisation that this fully licensed pro is a child.”

“Hi, Toshinori-san!” Chirped the boy from his bed. Nezu heard the sigh of relief from the phone.

“My boy, I told you to drop the honorific, it makes me feel old.” The boy giggled. Aizawa coughed angrily.

“I’d appreciate it if you got to UA promptly, Yagi-san.” He growled, hanging up abruptly on the spluttering man.

Yagi Toshinori then? Pondered Nezu quietly. It was rather unlikely that this child’s guardian was the Pro Hero All Might, but it would explain a lot. He decided to keep quiet on that tidbit of information for the time being. It was only moments later that the gate blinked to show a new arrival. Assuming it was Recovery Girl, Aizawa used his phone to check the camera and was met with a large man with a shock of messy blonde hair. His face was mostly hidden behind a medical mask, but blue eyes shone from under heavy brows, even in the limited light. He waved sheepishly. Aizawa paused a moment, looking at his phone blankly. Whatever cogs were whirling in his head stopped abruptly as he simply opened the gate and slammed his head into the wall. Midoriya has the audacity to laugh.

“I am – I – sorry could you please open the door, Eraserhead?” Aizawa continued to face the wall, prompting Midoriya to lean over from his spot of the bed to unlatch it. Yagi tumbled in, looking all the world like he’d flown here. Judging from the extra pieces of information his appearance provided, he had.

“Hello, All Might!” Midoriya and Yagi paled, the number one hero moving to stand protectively in front of the child on reflex. It was a fair assumption, the amount of malice in Nezu’s tone wasn’t exactly subtle. “Care to explain both how you acquired a child who – pardon my bluntness – obviously has no familial connection to you?” His smile grew sharper and All Might seemed to pale an extra shade as Aizawa turned to face him, face set in an impressive scowl. “Oh, and one more thing.” His voice was sickly polite. “How exactly did he acquire a Hero License?”

MARKERS AND BOOKS I am a simple woman with simple desires 5. Did you have extracurricular activities as a child? Any that you wish you’d done?

You can time travel (or not) and have your portrait done by any artist. Who do you choose? I'm gonna go with El Greco simply because his “Penitent Magdalene” haunts me 7. You’re out in public. You see a cat. How do you react? point at it and say CAAAAAAAT and hope it doesn’t run away 8. What kind of weather do you thrive in, and what can you simply not do? A bit cloudy and 50-60 degrees F is ideal. I cannot abide heat. Anything above 80 degrees is repulsive. 9. Om nom nom, breakfast! What are your favorite breakfast foods? CEREAL AND WAFFLES 10. Do you like running up and/or rolling down hills? ...not particularly... I have a weird thing about heights, and inclines do not really help D:

[we-future-first]

Just really needed to get this theory out there, nature is way more resilient and adaptive than we think

I've had this cool theory for a while which I personally hold true but I'm sure most of you will say is far fetched.

I personally believe that nature is far more adaptable, dynamicly resilient and powerful than we as a society believe. I can't seem to find any articles on the topic because everyone is jaded by the belief that humanity's destruction and eradication of life on earth will bring a collapse to the natural world. This is what I believe is wrong, as we intently destroy the global ecosystem on an unprecedented scale, the overall gene pool of life as a mass will begin to be forced to select for traits that are effective in reducing humanity's stresses and impacts for it's own survival. Many species are evolving to, or are being manipulated into cooperating with humans. But I believe many more species are evolving to directly or indirectly weaken and destroy mankind.

Simply put, life on Earth has constantly evolved and adapted to thrive even through absolute destruction and percievably impossible scenarios. The fact that life came to exist from the most coincidental and bizarre circumstances and has not gone away proves the incredible resilience it holds. We as humans are now constantly destroying and eradicating, forcing nature into extremes to ensure its own survival.

Remember that by nature I mean all cellular and non-cellular life on earth except humanity. Plants, animals, fungi, pathogens, bacteria and everything in between. Particularly I emphasise on microscopic life such as viruses, bacterial and pathogens as these are the fastest to evolve and are thus the most adaptive and resilient of all. Humanity's extortion and destruction is often forcing species to have as profound an impact on humanities prosperity and inevitable survival as possible. The rapidly exponential rate at which life is beginning to cohesively 'jepoardise' humanities prosperity will also be forced to essentially co-operate against mankind and form dynamic direct or indirect systems which make human life more difficult.

Life will constantly try to restore the natural equilibrium that existed before the Anthropocene (human epoch), destroy humankind's existence entirely or force humankind into creating this natural equilibrium which would likely result in various systems of human population control.

I know what many of you are thinking, your probably that humankind possesses the ability to and is essentially acting to destroy the Earth and all life on it. But I simply do not believe we are yet capable of, or never will be capable of destroying life on earth entirely. Not to say if we really tried to say blow the world up by using all nuclear power on earth to creat an exlosion that somehow could break the world in two, of manipulated the trajectory of a meteorite or space Phenomena of some kind to literally disintegrate or split the earth into pieces (with the potential survival of life within the vacuum of space forced to cling in). I simply do not believe we are yet capable or even ever will be capable of the Earth's destruction, mother Earth will likely bring us down first. I f every nuclear warhead on earth were to simultaneously be detonated, extremely catastrophic mass extinction would likely entale and the majority of life will perish. However just as life came to be here life will always remain on earth, and there will always be outliers, enclave, mutated and biologically resistant life that will then flourish and prosper in a new environment with very little competition. In fact the 'eternal' nuclear fallout would dramatically increase the rate of mutation in genetics and life would raidly evolve into a terrifyingly dynamic new reality, or some fungi will just evolve to rapidly detox and irradiate the earth returning it to normal 😂

Now to get back to the point I'm making, humanity must either universally co-operate with the natural world. Or be forced into a position where they are no longer the dominant species. Another species will also likely evolve to be sentient and compete with humanity in a geographically short time period, with many more to follow.

This may all seem like jibber jabber to some of you, it seems that our society's ego has us believe that we are better than nature. We often believe we are not animals and we are so advanced that we have the ability to prosper through anything nature throws at us. But this is simply untrue and mother nature will grab humanity by the balls when she wants to, and her grip is getting tighter.

I don't have any degrees, in fact I don't even have any sources to quote here. There is no reason for you to agree with me, any and all argumant or rebuttal will be great and I would love for someone to raise a point that makes my theory obsolete. I could go on about this with many more intricate predictive theories on the topic, but I have so many more ideas and theories I just need to get out of my head.

Nah, I got a couple other thoughts on this as well. Nature's manipulation of hamnkind may even be completely indirect, we may never now how the natural world can impact our psyche and may simply create an extreme tendency for society to be extremely unstable. The DNA that codes our life may likely select for genes that encourage humans to fight each other as a form of population control, and this may be how an equilibrium could be established. Overpopulation will likely lead to conflict, famine, diseases and all as nature will and always has been thriving for a world of diversity and cohabitation. The environmental recovery caused by the global impact of covid-19 is a great example of how nature indirectly works together against us. Since animals that transmit diseases will often prosper through the lessened impact of humanity in their own lives. Species that can transmit viruses directly or indirectly to humans, will likely thrive, thus selecting for genes which directly or indirectly cause human habitation within their environment to decrease or desist. This will likely lead to a world where animals evolve purely to kill humans, the outcome in only a couple millenia will be scary af.

The problem I see is not animals or plants though, it's pathogens and all the microscopic stuff. When the environment benefits from a virus that impairs humanitys impact, many others will naturally begin to evolve to the benefit of other species in this ecosystem, and diseases will do this first. Viruses and bacteria are of particular concern here since they or the most rapid to evolve and adapt to a change in their environment. Zoonotic viruses that rapidly immobilise humans will have significant benefits to their hosts and ecosystems they are within thus zoonotic viruses that can infect humans will likely be the first step in Earth establishing an equilibrium.

If overpopulation is somehow rapidly addressed this would probably significantly reduce the rate at which this 'theoretical bullshit' may happen. Realised I forgot to mention why I don't have faith in our sciences or doctors to fight spontaneous natural occuring diseases. Viruses/bacteria/pathogens all that, have n essentially infinite ability to evolve, gain resistances and become immune or more severe. It is commonly known that most viruses do not want to kill their hosts, but when the entire global ecosystem benefits from a virus killing it's host, those viruses will begin to occur far more frequently and likely with increasing severity. Sorry if this is scary for you somehow as long as you are young and healthy you will probably be fine but I can't say much about the outcome of a likely upcoming war of significant proportion, likely fought very unconventionally.

TLDR and a lil conclusion: Nature is powerful as heck, in the end we are just another species on this planet and through all the great things we have and will achieve, mother Earth will be able to keep us in check. I don't understand why I am unable to find articles on this, mass extinction does not simply cause life as a whole to perish, it strengthens the gene pool, and by impacting essentially all species of life on Earth; we are essentially creating our own undoing. Overpopulation will likely trigger the most significant mechanisms of 'human eridication'. You can say I'm just a doomsday theorist or something but this will not happen in a couple of years, I believe it has been ongoing ince we first discovered fire and is now taking a drastic step in its inevitable fate. Also not sure if I even mentioned global warming, but the extreme loss and extinction caused by this will likely be short lived, most ecosystems will eventually benefit from Increased temperatures with a global increase in rainfall and water available for evaporation. Fungi and other live organisms will likely evolve systems to reduce harmful gases and elements in the ground and air (as they already do) and filter out the 'toxins'.

I also just want to say that every opinion is biased somehow, of course this for example, but even the most credible articles and studies from prestigious universities or organisations. Simply by thinking that we as humans are top shit, the short term impact of our actions/activities blind us in our judgement of the long term outcome. Nature finds a way, always will and always has, we don't know why or how this occured, but it has clearly proven to be terrifyingly powerful and resilient.

Humanity must lose its ego, we might look like top shit right now but some day or another we will be put in our place. Mother nature is patiently waiting to bitch slap us back into our caves, and it kinda seems that no-one wants to talk about this? Also yes, this is something I thought about on a mushroom trip, but I've formulated the other ideas since. WAKE UP SHEEPLEZ nah jk kidding there's nothing we can do lmao😅
