Didn't he say he used to borrow shoujo manga from his sisters or something?

Nasu does have a sister and he did used to borrow shoujo manga from her, yes.
"While Kiara is the "boundless yet lone woman (or in other words, boundless motherhood)", Kama is the "all-encompassing yet lone girl (or in other words, all-encompassing girlhood)"."
It's such a wierd fucking phrase that I cant help but see that something is up with nasu and his mom
all-encompassing yet lone girl (male)
Armchair Freudians
Well the occult is big on hermaphrodites you know. To portray magecraft accurately you need to get a little Freudian 'cause it was written by freaks that worship sex which Nasu of course isn't, he's just adapting it into popular culture. How that entire bodhisattva stuff ties into it I'm not so sure. Likely Nasu started with the idea of the unbirthing earth into a demon's vagina and wondered how that could be accomplished, and the entire setting of Extra was written back from that premise over two whole games.
When you think about it that way, it doesn't make it make any more sense, but at least excuses all the seemingly arbitary choices like Andersen's age, Blackbeard's acting out of his age, Alice being her own master etc. All these characters are really regressing into Kiara's womb in line with Fate's overall themes of regressing into the past. I'm not going to call it themes but you could probably call it something dumb like narrative synchronicity.
Have you noticed that Kiara also goes by the moniker of Fujimura Taiga? I wonder how that could be important in the great picture?
I mean I just made a huge shitpost but nah, that's specifically Fate's thing. The very first scene in FSN, right after the clang bit, is Rin explaining the magecraft and technology thing, because it is very important as a framing device. Nonfate titles don't really give a crap about it except maybe whatever the frick Fifth is about, but Fate is all about reevaluating the past in active fear (read:avoidance) of the future.
When we then say that Tsukihime is thematically opposed to Fate, it's because the events and plots of Tsukihime, Kagetsu Tohya and Melty Blood are motivated by the unchangeable past, pointed into the future and its looming inevitability, no matter what it's going to be.
Case Files acknowledges these themes but manages to create a decent blend with Waver's character, I guess, which is why it's acknowledged as honorary notfate. You could make a case that some Fate spinoffs like Apocrypha don't really care about this at all, but that's because they're bad.
Also, don't forget that Nasu's first idea for FSN was an otome game. I don't think he is a freak, just a tryhard. Kiara shoving earth in her vag may serve something thematic but is also very much shock value.
Is it really shock value after going through the rest of CCC tbh
To add, villain ideas also make a pretty good point of comparsion.
Gilgamesh is obsessed with the past - he believes it was better than the present. He would take people's freedom to choose their future away, therefore he is evil.
Kotomine is obsessed with the past - he's afraid he lived wrong. He is willing to destroy the future to find out, therefore he is evil.
Goetia is obsessed with the past - he believes the whole history is wrong. He'd sacrifice the future to remodel it, therefore he is evil. (did you ever wonder what's up with the whole world ending after 2016 even though it already ended?)
Kirschtaria is obsessed with the future, and tries to change the past to make it better. He did nothing wrong.
Roa is obsessed with the future - he's afraid of death. He abandons his past to gain a future, therefore he is evil.
Zepia is obsessed with the future - he's afraid of the apocalypse. He gave up his past self, therefore he is evil.
Dust of Osiris is obsessed with the future - she wants to change it for what she thinks is better. She actively pushes out Sion who is her past, therefore she is evil.
Kohaku is obsessed with the future - she is powerless in the moment. Her past seems to give her no choice in the matter, but since it is demonstrated she can make the right call, she is demonstrably 'evil' when she does not.
It's really basic and dumb like that. I didn't write it.
CCC is the equivalent of finding nasu's deviantart page.

Less than that ratman, more literally reusing similar justificaitons like dust of osiris, lion king and zeus all pretty much having identical motivations of 'as long as the record is around' dumb shit.
Isn't that just copying Eva?
You noticed now. Did you also notice that Angel Notes is essentially an allegory for moving out of home instead of staying in the basement forever?

From what I understand, they argue the Titans might have originated as imported Semitic deities, and that the ancient Minoan deities were eliminated in favor of those, like Britomartis.

Seems people are now not allowed to think.
Even after reading it, I can't help but think of Elon Musk facetiming himself taking weed while talking about space and stuff.
Like, I wouldn't trust Nasu with a rocket. He'll have a sex doll in a bike strapped to it and sent to the moon to see if it really is made from cheese.
At least it beats me and my crew brainstorming while doing shots of Jagger whenever one of us cracks up.
Ajase strikes again

They have similar plans but the motivation is different. Dust of Osiris acts against the imminent destruction of Mankind and wants to preserve the information about it (perhaps for the benefit of future civilizations).
Lion King deals with the already destroyed world and wants to create a museum of people as species.
Zeus just decided that fighting for the Earth is not worth it and wants to leave the planet and resume its original mission; humanity will be preserved as records in his databanks ("you're not dead as long as someone remembers you" basically). That's his primary motivation, actually - this is why he summons Khaos in the end.
Yes, there are some similarities but it's not like this is a flaw, to begin with.
