Chūya Nakahara (1907-1937) is one of twentieth century Japan’s most celebrated poets. During his brief life he only produced two volumes of poetry and only saw the first–this volume–to publication while he was alive. Although he was not widely known during his life and all but forgotten during World War II, in the post-war period, his poetry was rediscovered and he became a national sensation. Today, his work is still cherished by the Japanese public and, increasingly, by readers around the world.
Ry Beville teaches literature at the University of California, Berkeley, while working in the fields of translation and media. He has published poetry and translations in an array of magazines and journals, and writes extensively about Japanese food and beverage culture for publications in Japan. In addition to this volume, he has also published a translation of Chūya Nakahara’s Arishi Hi no Uta (Poems of Days Past), and his own work of fiction, the novel What Remains.

I'm into Minus Elevation,, (which is a game on Roblox!)
these aren't finished, but here's two of my (WIP) drawings!
frankly i don't know if i'll ever finish them but!!!!!!
and don't mind the fact they're in two different styles, i was going for a more blocky artstyle with Manager's drawing rather than my usual artstyle :3
the first is a request from my friend Orion (prompt's in the corner!), and the second is Manager peeking around a pillar to catch delvers off-guard!!
i love this game to bits and i wish more people would play it <33
Considering writing a beville fic where becks dropped out of football as a teenager but Gary carries on and has the same career path as irl. They're in a relationship since they were teenagers and they live together in Gary's house (think of that clip they filmed about Becks staying over all the time and cooking him dinner). Becks is like his wag, going to all his matches, making him food, but against a backdrop of 90s football homophobia their relationship is shadowed by fear and secrecy and nobody can know about them, not even mutual friends. There's no alternate universe in which Becks doesn't become famous, so he breaks into the modelling, fashion and acting world in his early 20s. It's much freer than football and he's partying more and doing more drugs than he would have as a player, and he's also surrounded by more openly gay people and is seeing a world where he could actually be himself. As he gets more famous he has to downplay and deny any connection to Gary, who has no choice but to force them both to stay firmly in the closet. Their relationship eventually crumbles under the pressure and personal differences, and much like irl Becks leaves him and moves abroad. Also Gary cries during sex.
