New Boy

Hunter Noceda x M!Human!Reader

GUESS WHOS BACK

------

"I don't understand why you keep trying to force me to make friends."

Hunter said absently, subconsciously pulling his beanie down farther over his ears. Luz raised her eyebrows.

"Because you're about to be seventeen and your only friends are the first people who were ever nice to you."

Hunter opened his mouth to retort, then shut it. It was true, he couldn't deny that.

"But why with other humans who-"

Luz watched Hunter's entire facial expression change as they approached the table of friends. They were all chatting amongst themselves, then welcomes Luz with open arms and excited words. Hunter didn't acknowledge any of them but a boy who sat in the back corner, scrolling through his phone absently. He only came back to consciousness when Luz nudged him and glanced over at the boy with a smile.

"Go sit across from him. Go talk to him!"

"What?"

Hunter said absently, blinking. Luz giggled at his expression as he shook his head and frowned at her, as if nothing had just happened.

"Alright, alright! We're sitting, we're sitting."

Luz laughed as one of her friends egged her on, and managed to get them squeezed into the table at the end. Hunter was sat across from the boy, and he pressed his lips into a thin line, glaring at Luz with a face between 'help' and 'what do I do'. She kicked his leg and went back to chatting.

He shifted, opening his mouth for a smart retort, but he managed to accidentally kick the boy across from him. He froze, staring at the boy for a moment before he scrunched his nose.

"Sorry! Sorry."

"Oh, no, it's okay. I've been over here taking up all the space since no one was sitting there."

He laughed, setting down his phone. Hunter blinked at him, unaware of the blush that crept onto his face at the boys smile.

"I'm Y/N. You're Luz's brother, right?"

Hunter smiled. "Yeah," He said softly, and offered his hand for a handshake. "I'm Hunter Noceda."

My NU: Carnival shipping chart

I filled this out and it quickly became a goddamn mess because I want everyone to know the wolf pups in the biblical sense (and I actually made it happen btw, here's a list of fanfics pairing Garu and Karu with each core cast member)

The template is by Solar_糯晨阳, you can find it here!

(HE IS CRYING FOR HELP but pay him no mind...)

I finally watched episode 6 (rant/thoughts)

Y'all I'm not doing ok in the slightest. The last episode got me in my feels and now episode 6 is making it even worse so let's break it down yeah?

Can we PLEASE talk about the beginning scene??? Like Wolfwood's eyes??? Dude it was kinda unsettling

Vash acting all nonchalant about being "friends" with Meryl and Roberto (you ain't fooling me you funky little plant you're just trying to shut your emotions down so you don't get attached)

Ok being a little art nerd, I just wanna say I love the sandsteamer's design and think it would be fun to ride on one. Also it seems they're wasn't a caravan following the steamer so maybe they changed it?

Being an art nerd once again, the lack of variety when it comes to different body shapes and sizes is kinda getting to me. Like all the men look like inverted doritos and I could really use some variety.

LIVIO...barely said anything??? But fuck I would be lying if I said I didn't cry tears of joy seeing him.

THE CHILDHOOD FLASHBACK. Orange I need more of this IMMEDIATELY IT WAS SO PRETTY

BABY LIVIO AND NICOOOOO😭😭😭 I want to protect these boys so much! ( Ngl when I saw Nico and Livio tending to the baby birds I had a moment of great fear, if you read TriMax you'll know)

Nicolas was really born with a lighter in his hand because not him smoking that space zaza and trying to get livio to do it

So...the EOM is really walking around here looking like that??? Taking children??? AND NO ONE'S SAYING ANYTHING???

The hallucination scene was so fucking pretty my GOD

Ok Nicolas trying to escape so he could go back to the orphanage did things to my heart go (this also highlights his past personality of caring about others, especially kids)

Speaking of that scene LEGATO BLUESUMMERS, you fruity-tooty bitch glad to see ya (also seeing Nico's hand get bent up like that made me fucking squirm my goodness) also I guess we can say Legato's powers is more on the telepathy side versus the metal strings

God Vash can't get a fucking break and he knows it. Speaking of Vash, that punch/push he did to Livio??? Nah his patience is wearing thin and I'm gonna be right there front row when it happens (can you tell imma big fan of when Vash looses his cool?)

So we didn't get Razlo this episode, so maybe we'll get him soon? (I saw that ending screen Orange I know who that is)

There's no way in fucking hell Wolfwood is dying next episode like... this is not gonna leave the impact they want it to have. At most this is gonna cause everyone to separate and be on their own for a bit (which is good because they need to slow the fuck down)

Lastly, BAD LADS GANG LET'S GOOOO. This was my favorite episode for the original Trigun so I hope they do her justice. (B.D.N, the love of my life I'll see you soon)

Ok that was a lot, but TLDR I'm nervous about Livio and how they're gonna handle Razlo and I truly doubt they're gonna kill off Wolfwood (maybe we'll get more backstory and character development because they definitely fucking need it). Also if they whitewash BDN it's on signt.

#trigun #trigun stampede #Rhythm rants #I probably forgot something #I'll add it later if i remember #i wonder though...#if they're using the Trigun/TriMax storyline as a setup for a new story/new adventures etc.#but oh well we'll see

Alchemy of Souls: Theories and Analysis for Eps 11-12

Hi fellow readers!

For this week’s theories and analysis post, I won’t be writing as much as I usually do! I’m currently in the process of moving into a new apartment so I’m super busy this week with all the packing! There wasn’t too much that I wanted to go over since Ep 11 was basically a filler. The plot did finally start moving again in Ep 12! I was literally on the cusp of dropping it until all the eps were released because the plot was becoming so stagnant. Anyways, my main theory of Naksu’s soul being Jin Bu Yeon’s soul still has not changed.

Thinking caps on!

Main Point of AOS

The underlying message of Alchemy of Souls can be easily seen by doing the following exercise. Stand in front of a mirror. Now look at yourself. Ask yourself, does the image you see before you, reflect who you are as a person? Does it encompass all that you are? I sure hope not. Who you are as a person (soul) cannot be captured in a mirror. The Hong Sisters have been trying to teach you all a very important lesson: to not pass judgement on others solely based on their appearance (body). This applies to situations too. So, keep this in mind when watching AOS. Like etch it in your mind.

Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon

Do I still think Naksu’s Soul is Jin Bu Yeon’s Soul?

Short answer: Yes, I do. If you don’t agree, you’re welcome to read all of my other posts. If those posts aren’t convincing enough then I can’t help you. I have gone over everything extensively as well as made various connections to the writers’ underlying messages, symbolism, character motivation, big picture, mythology, etc. I’ve considered the alternative arguments (i.e Mu Deok’s soul= Jin Bu Yeon’s soul), but I found these arguments to offer no real substance nor depth. They failed to capture the essence of what this show is really about.

Read What Cannot Be Seen Nor Said

The Hong Sisters have told the viewers to read between the lines numerous times now, but many have failed to do so. I bet you all probably missed this small, but very significant detail!

Let’s look at this scene below. Do you all notice anything wrong with scene? Probably not, right? It looks normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Ok let’s analyze it. Jang Uk asks Naksu what that thing is. She doesn’t answer. Most wouldn’t notice this was odd. Now, I want you all to ask yourself why she didn’t answer.

You see, the Hong Sisters tried to make light of Naksu’s inability to answer by having Jang Uk say, “You’ve been here, right? Your father was the constellation mage.”.

Now let me redo Jang Uk’s dialogue to really show you the light:

Jang Uk: How come you don’t know what this thing is if you’ve been here before?

Jang Uk: Your father was the constellation mage, right?

Now that I’ve redid the Jang Uk’s dialogue, does it help you all to see what was so interesting about Naksu’s silence? You see Naksu couldn’t tell Jang Uk what that thing was because she had never been there before. This meant she was never the constellation’s mage daughter. Therefore, she is Jin Bu Yeon. Had Naksu really been the constellation mage's daughter, she would've been able to tell Jang Uk was that thing was.

This also happens again during this scene, pay attention to what Naksu doesn’t say. Naksu proudly tells Jang Uk how her dad “showed” her the plate which recorded her constellation on the day she was born. What did we expect her to say next? We expected her to tell us what her constellation plate “showed”, but she didn’t. Why? Same reason as before.

You see the truth is revealed in all the things Naksu’s didn’t say. It is revealed in her silence.

Similarly at the end of the episode, the truth is yet again revealed during Naksu’s silence when she dipped her hand in the birdbath bowl and we were shown her constellation. Just so we are clear, that is Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon’s constellation right there.... not some bullshit everyone has been spewing saying it’s Mu Deok/Jin Bu Yeon’s. ROLLING MY EYES HARD!!!

Friendly reminder... Mu Deok is like gone with the wind ok? Her soul went back to her OG body and died. The end. RIP Mu Deok’s soul and body. Maybe after everyone has gone through the denial and bargaining stages of grief, they can finally arrive at the acceptance stage.

*Refer to this post here to learn about how Naksu’s memories of the night her father was kill was actually Mu Deok’s memories!

Energy and Third Eye

According to Chinese Alchemy/Taosim, one’s soul is usually seated in the heart and one’s energy is contained within the lower gut. These same concepts were applied to most of the characters in AOS with one exception: Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon. In her case, her soul was seated in her eyes while her energy was contained in her third eye.

What is the third eye? It is an invisible eye situated between the two physical eyes. Its nickname is the “mind eye”. When opened, it allows one to see what others cannot see (i.e the future, chakras, auras, etc). It is believed to that the third eye is associated with the pineal gland found in the human brain. The pineal gland produces melatonin which is a hormone that controls the sleep-wake cycle (think about Naksu's sleepwalking incident).

Before her kidnapping and subsequently soul swapping, Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon’s third eye was opened. This allowed her to see through detecting energy. However, when her soul left her body, her eye became closed. After returning to her body, Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon’s third eye remained shut which left her unable to access her energy. At the same time, her third eye remaining shut also prevented her from losing energy and running wild. During times when she senses danger, her third eye can open (i.e sleepwalking incident, eunuch, etc.)

The only reason why Master Lee could not feel her energy when he touched her forehead was because her third eye was sealed/blocked. How does she open her third eye and keep it open? Well, she’s got to essentially reach enlightenment lol. She’s got to do a lot of soul searching, self-reflection, self realization, and self actualization. She must go with the flow of things instead of all fighting back. For example, she needs to stop denying her feelings for Jang Uk.

Third eyes can also become blocked when we suppressed parts of our minds. For example, she needs to remember who she was before Jin Mu/Shaman Choi soul swap shenanigans. It is only after she does these things will she be able to open her third eye. Once opened, she can access the energy of the Ice Stone found within herself. Subsequently, she will be able to share this energy with Jang Uk and together they can defeat Jin Mu, Shaman Choi, and destroy the OG Ice Stone!

In one of the tvn interviews, Lee Jae Wook said he put a spoiler in the photo-card he created. He’d placed what looks to be an Ice Stone in the middle of eyes or where his third eye is. Additionally in the show poster, notice where Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon’s sword is...it’s between both Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon and Jang Uk’s third eye. We should just call them third eye not blind couple lol.

When both Jang Uk's third eye and Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon's third are open, I believe it creates an invisible ESP tunnel or something that allows the energy of the Ice Stone to be shared between the two of them.

We can't talk about third eyes without talking about one of the most famous third eye in mythology...Shiva's third eye! When Shiva’s third eye was open along with his two other eyes, it unleashed immense power destroying everything good or bad. When his third eye was closed/opened (two eyes opened/two eyes closed), there was either destruction or creation.

Same thing with Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon’s third eye:

All three eyes opened= destruction of evil (i.e eunuch)

Third eye opened two eyes closed = Good or evil (i.e Jin Bu Yeon as a child)

Third eye closed two eyes opened= Good or evil (i.e protecting Jang Uk from Master Lee or Naksu killing mages)

All three eyes closed = destruction of good (has yet to be seen)

The point I want to stress upon is that the power contained within Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon’s third eye can be used to do good or evil things. I will go more into this in the next section.

*Science Fun Fact: In the real world, there are two electrical systems within our bodies. One is found in your brain (the body’s “powerhouse”) while the other is in your heart. Electrical currrents are able to be distributed throughout your body because your body is mostly made of water, a good conductor of electricity/energy!

Great People or Objects Can Be Used To Do Good or Evil Things

One should recognize that great objects like the Ice Stone or people like Jin Bu Yeon are not inherently evil, but their powers can be used to do evil things.

It’s been established that Jin Bu Yeon was a great soul with divine powers. What Jin Mu did was that he decided to take that great soul along with her powers to do many terrible things by turning her into “Naksu”. For example, Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon’s powers were used to do wicked things such as like killing many mages. At the same time, Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon’s powers were also used to do many good things such as protecting Jang Uk from Gil Joo.

“The wand chooses the wizard, remember…I think we must expect great things from you, Mr. Potter… After all He Who Must Not Be Named did great things. Terrible, yes, but great” -Ollivander, Harry Potter

Naksu’s sword (probably from Jinyowon) is an extension of herself. It was a great sword that could be used to do many powerful things. The only reason why it did not allow her to take the back her energy is because Naksu was in a transitional state. She was neither a force of good nor evil. She was neither Naksu nor Mu Deok. She just is. Once she discovers who she really is (Jin Bu Yeon), the sword will follow her once more, but this time around, it will be used to do many good things.

When Was Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon Born?

Jang Uk and Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon are opposites, but always come as pair. Same notion is repeated in the many symbols associated with these two such as moon/sun, yin/yang, dark/light, water/fire, creation/destruction, water/blood, soul/body, negative/positive etc. Fyi, I hope you guys know the Sun is a star lol.

Also it's important to note that Jang Uk and Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon come in pairs because they're able to keep each other checked and balanced. Otherwise if they didn't come in pairs, all sorts of things would become unbalanced!

Jang Uk (associated with the winter season) was born on April 1st (New Moon; the 1st of every month starts on a New Moon). This means Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon (associated with spring) was born on the 15th of some fall (August) or winter month (opposite of a New Moon is a full moon; full moons occur 14 days after a new moon).

*Science Fun Fact #1: During a new moon or full moon, there are high tides (“spring tides”; has nothing to do with the spring season). This happens because the Sun’s gravitational pull is added on top of the Moon’s gravitational pull leading to the tides here on Earth to rise significantly. When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned cosmically, it is called syzygy. It is because of this alignment that allows the Sun's tides to be combined with the Moon's tides.

*Science Fun Fact #2: The Sun’s light reflecting off the moon is what allows it to be seen at night here on Earth. The moon “shining” at night is just an illusion. It’s just a reflection of the Sun’s “light”. Get it illusion? hahahahaha

*Science Fun Fact #3: The reason why a new moon appears dark to us is because the Sun is shining on the side of the moon that is not facing us. A full moon is seen when the sun is shining on the side that is facing us.

*Science Fun Fact #4: Moonlight and Sunlight are the same thing. Although in fantasy dramas they make it seem like they are two different things. For example, Naksu’s full moon/flower blue eyes are revealed when moonlight shines on it (Ep 2). However, scientifically speaking, her moon/flower blue eyes would’ve been seen if she stood in the sunlight lol. I get it though…the full moon and moonlight is supposed to symbolize transformation in AOS.

You can make multiple connections between these science fun facts and Jang Uk and Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon, but I’ll just write out the most relevant connection because I’m tired. Them combining their powers as the Sun (Jang Uk) and Moon (Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon) is analogous to the combination of Sun and Moon gravitational pull that causes “spring tides”. Meaning when these two are one they are even more powerful than the power/energy of the Lake.

What Happen to Fetus Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon?

People why the hell are you making up theories that includes reincarnation? Last time I checked there’s a difference between reincarnation and soul shifting. Let me spell it out for you. You remember everything when your soul has been shifted (unless you experienced some sort of amnesic brain trauma right before you had shifted souls). You remember nothing, absolutely nothing about your previous life when you’ve been reincarnated. So quit making theories about Jin Seol Ran being reincarnated in Jin Bu Yeon’s body. This show is not about reincarnation, it's about soul shifting. I just can’t even sometimes.

Here's what I think had happened to fetus Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon. In the real world, babies are either born too early or too late due to lack of nutrients (energy), genetic predisposition, etc. Given this, I’m pretty sure fetus Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon did not have enough energy to come out into the world. What Jang Gang did was infused her soul with the energy of the Ice Stone. Then splash splash boom boom cry cry…fetus Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon came into the world on a full moon!

Update 7/27/22

Bringing back souls from the dead could mean that Jang Gang brought back the soul of Jin Bu Yeon. Maybe her soul was in limbo or whatever. I’m still not sure the mechanics of the Ice Stone. For example, is there like a soul GPS or something? There’s probably like a sea of souls, how can one be able to differentiate one soul from another? Maybe each soul has a unique signature (primordial qi?). In Taoism/Chinese Alchemy, babies have “primordial qi” which is a type of qi that is inherited from one’s parents. Therefore, maybe Jang Gang traced Jin Bu Yeon’s soul by using Mama and Daddy Jin’s qi. It’s kind of like how your DNA is a mix of your parents’ DNA: 50% mother’s DNA and 50% father’s DNA. When authorities want to identify a body, they usually ask for the next of kin’s DNA to properly identify a body. In this case, one could use the parents’ qi to identify a soul. Somewhere in between identifying Jin Bu Yeon's soul and bringing it back, Jang Gang inadvertently infused her soul with the energy from the Ice Stone. Hope this makes sense!

Eunuch Situation

Let’s talk about what happened with Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon at the end of Ep 12. This is how it went down. He touched her forehead which is a no no area ok? It’s where her third eye is located. He’d unknowingly opened her third eye and was sucking her energy out of it. So Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon had a fight or flight response as I like to call it. She’s became like angry Shiva who just got his third eye opened. It’s not going to look pretty for the other person especially if they are evil. Once her third eye was opened, Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon began sucking back the energy the eunuch stolen from her. So no, she didn’t run wild or anything. If she had run wild, she would’ve automatically sucked all of Jang Uk’s energy when he hugged her.

Fake Daddy Jin

Anyone else having flashback to TKEM doppelganger situation? I know I am. For those who have not watched TKEM, people from either Earths would get switched with their doppelgangers. You never knew if the person you saw was from your Earth or a doppelganger from another Earth. Same situation in AOS. You don’t know if the person see before you contains the soul of the person you know or contains the soul of another person.

I was suspicious of Daddy Jin, but I did not have enough clues to argue definitively if he was a bad or good guy. In this week’s episode, it was revealed that Daddy Jin was working for Jin Mu. It’s implied that Daddy Jin is Shaman Choi’s sibling during the conversation between the eunuch and Shaman Choi. From this, one could deduce Fake Daddy Jin is a soul shifter and the soul within that body is the soul of Shaman Choi’s sibling.

However, it could also be other things:

Daddy Jin is a double agent

Daddy Jin did not engage in soul shifting but just forged his identity through documents or whatever

Again, I will not say anything is definite because we haven’t seen much of him in the show.

Will Naksu/Jin Bu Yeon Get Exposed Next Week?

Probably not. Even if Park Jin discovers “Mu Deok” is Naksu, he won’t really do anything extreme. From the conversation between him and Master Lee, it would seem Park Jin had a change of heart on how he viewed Naksu. Before, he just saw her as a crazy assassin who wanted to show off her skills. Now, he sees her as an unfortunate victim of Jin Mu’s bad influences.

Will Seo Yul End Up Killing Naksu?

Short answer: Probably not. Baby boy is having some serious internal conflict. On one side, Seo Yeo thinks it’s rational to kill Naksu because she is a soul shifter who will eventually run wild. On the other side, Seo Yeo feels that it’s irrational to kill her because she has done no harm to anyone since he’s known her at the present moment. He’s just fighting between his brain and heart. Can Seo Yul ignore what his eyes see (i.e she is a soul shifter) and realize she’s a good person deep down (i.e her soul is innately good)? Jang Uk on the other hand is like nah bro I’m going to follow my heart. This means he’s ignoring all these surface level qualities about Naksu (i.e brain; body; soul shifter) because he had already seen with his heart that Naksu is a good person (heart; soul). This goes back to the underlying message of AOS: to not judge others based on what they look like on the outside (body), but to judge others based on who they are as a person (soul).

In next week's preview, it would seem that Seo Yul has figured out that Jang Uk was the blue scarf dude and that the Ice Stone is somewhere in the palace. He puts two and two together and decides that Jang Uk and Naksu can't be together because Jang Uk is trying to get the Ice Stone to save Naksu. So what is Seo Yul going to do? He's probably going to fight Jang Uk in the final duel. Jang Uk will probably win somehow because he more luck than a damn pot of gold haha. It would be a plot twist though if Jang Gang shows up to fight Jang Uk. It probably won't happen, but oh well. My mind likes to think of crazy things sometimes.

Evil Duo: Shaman Choi and Jin Mu

You know what these two have in common? Their belief that society did them dirty. Let’s look at Shaman Choi, she was nothing special. She was just your run of the mill shaman who told deviations. She held a grudge for what happened to her family 200 years ago. Then there’s Jin Mu. He believed he was wrongly punished for something he had no control over (i.e Mama Jin’s father slept with Jin Mu’s mother). Although that may be the case, it really didn't justify all the bad things he's done so far.

Monsters aren’t born, they’re created. These two could’ve gone down a different path, but they chose not to. In doing so, they became monsters. They sought to punish those at the top by turning them into monsters (i.e turning Jin Bu Yeon into Naksu). They blamed those people for all their shortcomings in life. In reality, they were the ones who were responsible for their own shortcomings. They could’ve made so many different choices in life, but they didn’t.

There’s going to be no redemption arc for these characters. They’re too far gone, they’ve become too blinded by their desire for revenge and power.

Their whole plan for world domination sounds dumb. Use the Ice Stone and reveal its power to the world so that everyone bows down. Hmm Hong Sisters is this the best you got? Wait a second…why does this plan sound so familiar????? OH WAIT that’s what Lee Lim in "The King Eternal Monarch" tried to do with the flute and doppelgängers.

Is this how Jin Mu’s plan with Mama Jin going to play out then? He’s going to swap her soul in full view of the public. Thereby displaying the great powers of the Ice Stone...oh I’m shaking in my seat…not really. Then Jin Mu/Shaman Choi will use the treasures of Jinyowon and the Ice Stone to snuff out any dissenters? Um yea they just didn’t account for a lot of things: Jin Bu Yeon being back, Jang Uk becoming a great mage, and the Prince becoming friends with the heirs of the four families.

Jin is probably going to use Soi to get the spell that unlocks Jinyowon from Mama Jin. Or it could be that Jin Mu will use Soi (as Jin Bu Yeon) to blackmail Mama Jin into opening the doors of Jinyowon? Hmm… either cases could happen. I mean Jin Mu’s other plan was to get Jin Cho Yeon to marry the Prince. Why would he want that? So he could indirectly (through the Prince) get Jin Cho Yeon to open Jinyowon. That plan is already a complete failure because Jin Cho Yeon is now with Park Dang Gu lol. Plus, the Prince isn’t going to go along with Jin Mu and Shaman Choi’s evil plan because he’s already friends with the heirs of the four families.

Other theories I have about Jin Mu and Soi is that he's going to tell Mama Jin that Soi (as Jin Bu Yeon) can't use her powers because she suffered a brain injury and loss all of her memories. Why do I think this? Because in my Naksu is Jin Bu Yeon theory, I talked about how I thought Jin Bu Yeon had develop amnesia and that's how she lost all of her memories. Anyways Jin Mu will just use Jin Bu Yeon's original story to explain why fake Jin Bu Yeon doesn't have her powers nor memories. It won't be the first time he's done it. For example, he took Mu Deok's original story and convinced Jin Bu Yeon it was her own story.

Jang Gang

It’s been hinted in earlier episodes that Jang Gang is going to return. Maybe in the next episodes? Who knows. I highly doubt Jang Gang coming back will solve the whole Jin Mu situation because Jin Mu will just use the King Star prophecy to blackmail Jang Gang into giving him the Gwanju position. What will Jang Gang do once he finds out Jang Uk got his gate unsealed? Probably flip a shit and disown Jang Uk lol.

Ok I’m done. I wanted to talk about more things but it’s like I said, I am busy packing !

Reading your wastewater post makes me, another person who has always been interested of the historical ways humans got rid of their waste, wish more people can tell me more facts. I know it is also sad that most ignore this part of society but if more people knew about it would help alleviate some of the modern water crisis issues. And how people to this day do not have safe ways of disposing human waste. Like my question mostly is that human waste used to be such a good compost but does eating certain things and medicines contaminate it so it’s unusable as such?

As a former entomologist as well I always wondered if dung beetles would be interested in human dung as well…

I watched a video on YouTube about how night soil men existed until the 20th century in Japan. It’s just a fascinating topic to me.

Hey hey! Sorry it took me a while to get to this. I am both 1) very behind on asks 2) often short on spoons. But nightsoil and "humanure" are interests of mine too, and I have some time to kill, so let's see what we can cover!

First of all, composting toilets are totally a thing, and common in RVs and off-grid housing. Here's a decent guide to using commercially purchased models, and here's one that focuses on building and using a homemade composting toilet. Note that both sources say to use the resulting compost on non-edible plants only. I would tend to strongly agree with this. Even municipal wastewater plants, which have the ability to monitor the composting process very intensely and precisely, can struggle to make food-grade compost with their waste. It's not impossible, and I'd be really interested to know if there is something fundamentally different about the nightsoil process that makes it easier, but for your average Joe in a non-nightsoil culture I'd say it's an excellent rule of thumb.

There are some additional considerations when using humanure on food crops. In cultures that have good access to oral medication, we are discovering that some oral medicines can end up in wastewater in high enough concentrations to affect the environment. I don't necessarily consider that a reason not to use humanure at all, but it's an additional reason why I wouldn't necessarily want to put it directly on my lettuce. Speaking of lettuce, there is some evidence that E. coli, particularly the O157 strain, has the ability to actually penetrate the cells of some lettuces, so applying possibly extra-germy compost to leafy greens in particular is a no for me, dawg. (I know this is older research, so if any biologists/botanists/food safety people want to chime in please feel free.)

That said, I don't think that saying humanure shouldn't be used on food crops is the same as saying it's useless. Trees are a potential beneficiary. I would personally feel comfortable using it in soil restoration in an area where I didn't plan to grow food crops for several years. (Though you'd have to be careful not to contaminate drinking water or nearby food crops when you applied it.) I'd use it in a flower garden in a heartbeat. Flowers and ornamentals are important to the human spirit even if you can't eat them (setting aside for now the ones you can...).

As an interesting aside, human urine is actually much more useful and easily treated on its own than it is after it's been mixed with *polite cough* solid waste. Every so often a designer comes out with a toilet intended to separate the two at, er, point of origin so that they can be treated differently. (The difficulty of course being that the rest of the wastewater collection system is not set up to separate them, and is significantly more costly and time-consuming to update than a toilet.)

That said, urine is fascinating in its own right as well. It may be safer to apply aged urine than treated wastewater as a fertilizer, in part because aged urine breaks down into ammonia. One of my favorite uses of aged urine/ammonia is in cycling new aquaponics systems to encourage them to develop the beneficial microbe base they need to run as a self-sustaining system. I also suspect that a lot of gross-out recipes for various older cloth and leather treatment processes, like turkey red, that "even included human urine!" were not the result indiscriminate pissing on your work but a chemically sound application of ammonia or similar compounds. (Any bigger dye nerds than me who want to weigh in PLEASE do!)

Having rambled a bit, I think my most succinct answer to your question is that there is tremendous potential in using human waste as fertilizer, but western culture has largely rejected it for so long that we just don't have the scientific basis (or, possibly, the cultural memory) to consistently produce food-safe compost from it *at this time*. I'm super excited to see how much interest there has been in changing this over the past 10-ish years that I've been vaguely involved with the industry, but I don't think we're at the point where it's usable *in that specific capacity* just yet. That said, even if you're not applying it to food crops, I think it's always worthwhile to learn more about where the industry is going and what the latest research is. I genuinely consider this such an exciting and fast-moving field, and I'm always excited to meet people who are interested in learning more!

Thanks for the ask!

Welcome to my art blog! Consider reading this before you proceed~ ✧

You can call me Twig! I’m a nonbinary Finnish wish-to-be comic artist and illustrator, trying my best to achieve that goal even with my messed up arms, while also trying to heal from a bad strain injury.

✧ Up-to-date Commission sheet ✧ Store ✧

Keep reading for tags, content warnings etc. ✧˖°

You can expect from this blog:

✧ mostly anthros and other non-human characters ✧ original characters, Pokémon and Pokémon ocs, fan art ✧ mostly digital art, but maybe I’ll get back to watercolors at some point as well ✧ snippets of my original stories ･ illustrations, sketches, comics mostly, but maybe I’ll end up sharing some writing... ✧ experimentation, inconsistency, variety! :D

Be nice ⋆

✧ DO NOT repost, trace, pin, steal or use my art, characters, stories or original species. – If you wish to use them for anything, always ask for a permission first. ✧ Don’t be rude, gross or overall nasty to me or anyone interacting with my content. ✧ I won’t put up with anyone who makes me uncomfortable. I have a block glock and a loose trigger finger. ✧ I'm generally shy and wary with strangers, especially if they unexpectedly contact me through dms. Don't feel bad if I come across cold at first! If you're cool, I'll be too. ✧ I'd appreciate if you didn't tag my art as "furry" if you reblog it. It makes me a tad uncomfortable.

Note!
