I’d just like to point out to everyone how ingenious the use of the temporary death/zombie poison is in the apothecary diaries. I only knew about it before from a SUPER niche class where we read a book about it that maybe has 200 readers total. I was shell shocked to hear it brought up again especially in such a popular media. My jaw literally hit the floor. (Yes it was a real thing in Vodou culture that helped people escape crime sentences or get away from lives they didn’t want anymore). Especially with how accurate the information was that was used considering what little is actually known about it. Also, as a dual major in forensics and botany (the show is literally my dream) the way that Natsu Hyūga did ALL the research about plant poisons of all degrees really itches my brain right. ESPECIALLY in a world where the only poisons we see in literature are Monkshood/Wolfsbane, (deadly) Nightshade, and like Hemlock. Maybe the odd Foxglove or Lily of the Valley is thrown in there occasionally if the author wants to be quirky and “informed”. Some people don’t realize how much thorough research goes into each part of the Apothecary part of Apothecary diaries so enjoy my little rant on it. And if you’re interested in the Botanical side of the show I totally recommend picking up a book guide on plants in your country/state!

How many times have you guys plotted killing a fictional character? I have just come to the realization that I definitely do it more than I realize and in much more detail than I should

To everyone saying that I’m destroying my books by annotating them, have you considered that they destroyed me first?Â
Perhaps I am not bringing my pen and marker into innocent books. Perhaps this is revenge.

You guys who have not read The Poppy War need to know that the main character gets her first period and immediately decides to have her womb removed and then she proceeds to bring that exact energy to everything she does for the rest of the series
