— MER AU HAS BEEN POSTED !!!

it’s day 121 of my jshk obsession. soon, in 3 days, my count of hyperfixation days will exceed the chapters of the manga.

yay ! we will obsess. so on, and so forth.

kaboom!! take this wall of text and climb the words to the sitting area, or just let mirai, tsukasa, hanako, the mokke, mitsuba, tsuchigomori, yako, or shijima get you across—whether it be through the power of flight, wishing your way across, summoning an elevator, making a tower, extra limbs, extra-long limbs, shooting a spiderweb out of who-wants-to-know-where, interdimensional portals, flying scissors, or pulling a bridge out of a sketchbook!

(that is, if they can get out of the school :)

you are never ever ever going to ever touch the absolutely gigantic, huge, horrifically growing monstrosity that is my love for jshk ocs. i simply adore the little critters and sillies people make for aidairo’s wonderful whimsical world and it’s going to be like that for a really long time

i don’t know why it’s different with this series, because in all my old fandoms i absolutely hated ocs and refused to make any whatsoever, but jshk is just so... different. and special.

even self-indulgent ones like self-shipping and self-inserts? absolutely. bring them on. the urge i have to make fanart of ocs any time i stumble upon one is overwhelming.

if you have jshk ocs, please know i adore you so much. thank you for adding to my jshk craze <3

completely valid and wholeheartedly understandable, let’s see what tumblr has to offer :3

mentioning the nice person in the comments ! you’ll have to type that user’s name out completely, so maybe it’ll be a hassle with names that have random keyboard smashes or extra letters added to words... and not to mention the awkwardness (but you do get used to it after a while)

the reblog is good for doubly exposing your content to the world, even though it’s awkward... (but i definitely would not mind seeing more of your content on my feed <3)

messaging is also probably out of the question, since it may be seen as weird (but omfg i would freak out if you messaged me. i love your analyses btw-)

uhhhh posting a general 'thank you to everyone that likes my content' and pray that the people see it

tbh tumblr needs some other ways to respond to compliments in the tags...

telepathic gratitude is probably the least socially draining one tbh. you are absolutely completely valid

and that is... all??? of the reasonable ones??? so little... and so taxing on one’s social battery...

but i do hope you have a nice day, and that you gain the energy for any of these displays of thanks <3

for the most part I really love tumblr tags and tumblr reblog tag culture but it haunts me that I never know how to respond when people say nice things in the tags of a rb of my posts. like, it feels weird to rb my own post and say thank feels weird to message people to say thank you feels weird to put it in the replies what is a guy to do !!! just hope my telepathic gratitude comes through ? if you have ever said anything nice in the tags of my posts I am buying you a baked good and your favorite drink no take backs

:)

Eventual crossover of APD and TBHK???

I say Jinshi is Aoi and Maomao is Akane! It makes sense to me!

A crossover does sound fun! I wouldn't be able to put them in roles very similar to Maomao or Jinshi's because of how important gender roles are in the apothecary diaries, but I do agree Aoi having Jinshi's status (if a bit lower because she is a woman and she will never be as valuable to the palace as a man) and Akane being born in the red-light district, adopted by a wise doctor is cool.

I like the idea of Akane growing into a doctor because everyone is always sick in the town and he'll be damned if he will just watch people everywhere die when he have knowladge to help, so he become a doctor less out of passion for medicine and more cause a doctor is needed.

Maybe Akane healed a noble that got sick at the Verdigris House and was dragged to be a palace doctor. He does not have a choice to go agaist a noble's wishes, so he become his personal doctor.

He'll talk about herbs and flowers to Aoi who would get a genuine passion for the subject but hide her interest , keeping her questions neutral and her smile the same polite one she shows everyone. She'll make her own garden in secret, far more passionate about plants and their many uses than Akane, and she'll be way more distrustful of him, having grown up surrounded by fake people and murder attempts, she doesn't trust easy even if she find him rather pleasant compared to most of her company.

updated! it’s so long now but the yako section is still unfinished 🥹

— the art club

because me and my petty self want to claim this headcanon :’)

mei and mitsuba haven’t been shown interacting aside a short time in picture perfect arc and it’s such a waste because their parallels are so absolutely interesting and i’m in love with the idea of sibling relationship shijimitsu

like

so

but

once, mitsuba tried to find a place to stay within the seven mysteries and kinda got rejected by most of them. however, the one he wasn’t shown interacting with was with shijima, and they get along together well enough, looking at their interactions in picture perfect...

not to mention these parallels;

they’re both 'fakes'. the second unoriginal versions of people who used to be alive, people who used to be there and talk to others and make an impact on the world.

their original selves were both artists. they drew what was important, immortalizing it in their photos and paintings and sketches and film. original mitsuba’s ghost took a picture of kou before getting turned into no. 3 by tsukasa. original mei drew her ideal self, in a tower, and created her second self. both these things were important to them.

their second selves were created because their original selves had a wish. to live on, and to have & stay with friends...

and slowly, their second selves started to grow indifferent to their original selves’ forms of expression. shijima seems to only draw for functionality instead of for her own enjoyment or curiosity or expression, but her art has so much more meaning now that they create more than just an impression of life—they make life. and mitsuba doesn’t even know anything anymore, amnesia go brrrr (ty @ocelotlesbian for pointing this out)

i have so much to say about how shijima’s art is being used more as a tool for convenience instead of how the original mei used it—even natsuhiko & tsukasa are trying to annoy her for stuff—and not to mention the things they could do with this ability if someone thought about it enough (she, tsuchigomori, yako & the clock keepers are so completely broken i can’t even—these are the mysteries, of course, but i’m so glad they’re passively watching everything unfold because if they took matters into their own hands it’d be absolute chaos look at the clock keepers arc)

and i henceforth i headcanon

these two siblings doing art together afterschool in an art room. do we normally see mitsuba in hanako’s bathroom after school? no... and he’s scared of tsukasa. absolutely traumatised. ignore the afterschool episodes, i want mitsuba to turn on his heel and walk straight to the art room, skipping the fourth step.

after he has his melancholy talks and tear-filled arguments with kou he goes over and whines to shijima and they watch a movie on a projector and eat ice cream from a minifridge.

bonus points if mei uses her sketchbook to draw tissues for them. they literally have infinite ice cream and tissues

after the aquarium trip, i don’t think he could return to kou’s house (teru) & he also loses more energy the further away he is from the school SO i’d like to say he walks over, finds shijima & just cries to her the entire time about how kou is being difficult

shijima (unbothered queen) hands him her sketchbook w a drawing of a tissue box inside and 'mhm's every few minutes

it’s such a nice dynamic i love them so much

WHAT IF THEY RELEARNED THEIR PAST SELVES’ HOBBIES TOGETHER

like mitsuba learning how to hold a camera w his hand

shijima teaches him how to sketch, they go on small trips around the school at night to look at items in the moonlight

mitsuba absolutely destroys any supernaturals in their way (i need shijima to force him to eat occasionally and he will have to listen)

no but shijima is perfectly able to handle them herself

cue shijima pulling a sword from her sketchbook and bashing supernaturals into a pulp

but what if their past versions met in some sort of afterlife and mei teaches him to sketch & mitsuba shows mei his favorite photos and anglings and they watch birds & draw them and take photos and think about their lives and-

bonus: YAKO.

yako’s stairs are said to lead up to the art room 👀

so what if...

(i’ll finish this later lmao)

i need this to be canon. sibling mei & mitsuba. pls.

thank you for reading ♡ drink some water~

i love typing with my clicking clacking nails that i keep forgetting to cut
