Rewatching Apothecary Diaries and remembering how much I love these dorks

Mao mao: I don’t believe in senseless violence.

Mao mao: I do however, believe in sensible and rational violence, in which the person in question definitely deserves it.

Lakan: this is my beloved daughter Lahan: this is my esteemed sister Maomao: I have no idea who these weirdos are, we are not related

Its me i am crying

I love the KNH/TAD community bc in one hand, you have anime onlys watching season 2's second ending song saying "oh wow I love Maomao having friends" and then you have LN readers crying and screaming bc of Maomao's friends.

Knowing this is the last time all of these cuties will be able to act this carefree and be like this together is so bittersweet, end of a precious era 💚

This is how everyone is about maomao and I love it

he waited for this moment his whole fucking life. nobody get it… He’s literally on cloud nine, he is SO geeked he is SO in heaven right now that he’s malfunctioning.

Maomao knows what it is to be loved. Luomen loves her. Her big sisters love her. Lakan loves her (though she has no interest & may not believe he actually does because of thinking he'd abandoned her & her mother). Those who love her aren't perfect, but they want what's best for her.

And then there's Jinshi.

He has no idea if the people who love him actually do, or if it's because of his position/title/looks. He doesn't have good reason to believe people's feelings about him, because there's almost always going to be a condition to it, or some intention to use him. Even people like Suiren, who do love him, can't love him fully because of who he actually is

And I think that's why he falls so hard and fast for Maomao. Here is this woman that has no interest in his flattery, no desire to climb the social hierarchy at all. She doesn't sugar coat things. Jinshi knows where he stands with Maomao. All the tricks of the trade that he knows don't work on her, but what does work is when he drops the facade & is genuine with her.

Think about the scene when he gives her the hairpin.

It's the first time she's really seen him be himself. There's even a line in it where she is startled by the fact he's being sincere. I think up until that point, she thought he was just a vain & shallow guy. He'd really given her no reason to believe there was anything else to him. She likes seeing him be himself, not some sparkly shell of a person.

Yes, Maomao goes hard with the denial, but she also does show him real feelings. She gives him a measure of grace & is willing to forgive. Most of the time the feelings he gets from her are frustration/aggravation. Other people don't give him that. When she tells him she'll keep his secret & that he'll always be Master Jinshi to her, he doesn't doubt it. He knows he can trust her. In fact, I think he trusts her more than he trusts anyone else in his life. He knows that no matter who he becomes, she's still going to know who he actually is, warts and all.

He is so desperate for real, human connection. So desperate for real love (not even necessarily romantic love, though that's definitely something he wants). I think he's smart enough to know Maomao may never love him the way he loves her. Knows that hoping she will may be little more than a fool's hope. He knows that whatever he does get from her is real, and knows how unlikely it is he'll find anyone else that will be that real with him.

Jinshi *in his head* : This is it, I can finally tell her the truth, I can..

MaoMao: 🐸

Jinshi:

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

have you guys done that “what kind of reader are you” quiz and if so what did you get

biggest reason i make so many flop posts on here is because everything i do reeks of the desperation to make a popular tumblr post. this is deliberate, because it is what protects me from ACTUALLY making a popular tumblr post. so long as i crave it, tumblr fame will never find me. it is only when i turn away, and accept my fate of obscurity, that people will lay their eyes upon me. and it WILL be because i tripped and fell on my stupid face while i was turning

Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and politely clapping at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar

really enjoying all the videos Muslims have been posting of their cats looking like this

Not here to start fights but I feel like this comes up so often it’s silly 😂 if you don’t like Jinmao whatever, feel free to block the tag, I recognize they’re not perfect and have a lot to work on but they’re canon so you’re disagreeing with the author on MaoMao’s actual feelings there…just sayin 🤷‍♀️

Y’all really gonna hate me because I’m not gonna shut up all weekend about this episode 😩 fuck crumbs, we got an entire Maomao and Jinshi buffet today.

The frog is finally out of the bag, the worst kept secret in the show, Jinshi not being a real eunuch, is finally revealed to Maomao. LMAO at her refusing to listen to him say it so she wouldn’t have to deal with the repercussions. But girl you know you can’t just say someone’s meat is the same size as a frog without them getting mad 😭 not Jinshi storming off in a huff because she said it was “somewhat large” lmaooo. Some things we just don’t say!

Always good to learn more about my boy Gaoshun. Hearing about his backstory actually explains why he and Jinshi get on so well and are a good mentor/mentee duo. They both sort of got thrust into positions without their consent and are just making the best of it. Also confirmation of our other worst kept secret about Jinshi being the emperor’s brother! Something tells me that this assassination attempt is just the first of many challenges he and Maomao will face so she better start listening lol

Worst assassination attempt ever. If you’re gonna use a flintlock pistol you better make sure you send your best shot lmao. RIP to the noble who tried to take out Jinshi.

Glad Maomao apologized to Jinshi quickly and didn’t let things drag out, but it really does make a ton of sense why she’d struggle to understand people’s feelings and social cues given her upbringing. I’d love to see she and Takao from Ameku MD this season collab because they have the exact same issues

Jinshi should’ve known better than to give Maomao Ox Bezoars if he wanted her to actually pay attention to what he had to say lmaoo. Hilarious end to the episode and perfect transition into the second cour. Nice mix of Jinmao and lore stuff!

I love that Jinshi was like, “this girl is the weirdest person I’ve ever met. I’m keeping her!” That is the kind of instant and complete acceptance we little freaks need.

I really really liked this silly show. I think a lot of its problems come from the fact that it is an adaptation of a text that is almost a decade old now and shows it. (As much as I genuinely love the original, it is dated, and Returns goes a long way to unpick it).

But I like its humour (it's SO funny), I like its heart. I like that it has space for sincerity.

There are things that frustrated me - boss's moment of realisation and self acceptance was undone again and again, Mo starts out determined to fight but runs away again. And again. In the end, it's more like a sitcom or a cartoon in that regard: the conditions are reset, returned to the status quo (most especially with the factory reset of the amnesia plot) until something eventually shifts. Boss becomes almost like bugs bunny, popping up when he most isn't (or is) wanted - a trickster figure who stalls or moves the action on as required. If I watch it again (which I probably will), I'll watch it with this more in mind.

I like, also, that it gave Earth a chance to show his versatility. He's been so typecast that even still I see people surprised that he's not a 40 year old chicken rice seller. He's allowed to be goofy, sweet, and clumsy, to show what an excellent physical actor he is. He and Mix were given the space to improvise (the leg grab in the break up scene was improvised!!), showing their dramatic and comedic instincts. They seem to have really enjoyed filming this series, to have had the chance to try something new and work with a veteran actor like P'Krit.

It's so apparent that this show was made with love - it's not perfect and there are things that I would change - but I have so much time for it and I'm glad that it exists.

Okay but this episode was just Jinshi and Maomao having the best expressions on their faces as things just keep happening around them:

I mean look at that ? i think this is my favorite of Jinshi's face. He just kinda looks his age and it's hilarious.

He was like: oups, I may or may not have fucked up. oh ! Look ?! What a wonderful cave.

The animators were clearly having fun this episode.

Dabi really is the representation of the stored rage that eldest daughters carry within themselves…. Rage and anger at being laden with expectations- and when you finally crash under their weight you are thrown aside without any help from the very people who are supposed to be taking care of you

“His suffering will be proof that I existed” what a line. What a fucking line.
