The Setting Of TSH Confused Me At First. I Thought It Was Taking Place In The 50s As Richard's Language

I just started watching "Apothecary diaries" and I absolutely love it.

The fact the story, a seinen, is able to have a female protagonist and not make her "Not like other girls", cool, smart but not a perfect genius, strong but not a fighter and scary....like actually SCARY without making her look down on or trying to put down other women.......AHHHHHH

Jinshi is amazing as a male lead, I haven't seen a "pathetic jealous pretty boy" since Tamaki in Ouran highschool host club.

All the side characters are well written and have their own time to shine.

And the way the story is not afraid of talking about the darker themes of the time, or sugarcoating them is really admirable.

Honestly, it has become one of my favourite shows ever.

The way Richard thought all the guys---Henry, Bunny, Charles and Francis (who actually was) were gay in one way or another. Except for Camilla, she can't be sapphic, cuz that'll ruin his fantasy of her..... No wonder he was disappointed about the bacchanal, he missed the orgy he dreamed of 😂😂😂😂

Sometimes I re-watch BSD for fun.

Sometimes I re-watch Danny Motta's reaction to BSD for fun.

Both are an experience of their own and should be done by everyone ✨

"Even when the world ends, even when the artist is the last person alive on earth, even when there is no one else to give their work a recognition, the artist will still be crafting art, because thats what we do"

When youtubers can give you more motivation than your family.

INTP during an apocalypse:

INTP: Finally, something interesting! This could kill half the population! Including me! I can't believe people are scared of this! This is the best thing that ever happened to me! I can use the hours of apocalypse training I did instead of swimming lessons!

ISFJ: *concerned stare and judges quietly*

Gryffindor: So, guys what's our plan?

Slytherin: having a plan is lame, let's improvise.

Hufflepuff: it's Ravenclaw's birthday so let them decide....

Gryffindor: I was thinking Raven can do with some more friends, I will invite all my 300 friends to the party.

Slytherin: I was thinking about a masquerade. Something dramatic like Ravenclaw.

Hufflepuff: but guys they hate party or crowded event and noise...

Gryffindor: you know what I am thinking about...

Slyhterin: Fireworks!!!!

Gryffindor: it will be our best party yet!

Ravenclaw to Hufflepuff (via text): this is why I avoid people.

Dazai: This anime is obviously a romantic comedy. Chuuya and I are the main characters so that means we are love interests.

Kunikida, rolling his eyes: yeah and what are we?

Dazai: You guys are the homosexual supporting cast. So make sure not to get too much screen time

Yosano: isn't Atsushi the main character?

Junichiro: and Nakahara-san only gets like 20 minutes of screen time how is a mc??

Ranpo: I am sorry, but I don't think I am supporting cast material, homosexual or otherwise.

I was rewatching BSD season 1. I had forgotten how close Dazai and Atsushi were in the early seasons. (We need an emotional reunion)

Dazai: I have only known Atsushi for a day and a half. But if anything happened to him. I would kill everyone in this room and then myself 😄😃😀
