im pro choice and i think there are a lot of good pro choice arguments but my bad evil (speaking facetiously) argument is that i kind of dont care and i dont think it matters for anyone but the specific person whose body it concerns. im not religious so i dont believe in souls. if a lady finds out she’s pregnant and doesn’t want it and aborts it without telling anyone then like so what? i dont feel bad for the fetus. i don’t remember being a fetus. nobody does. it might’ve become a person, but so might every sperm and egg that goes unused. I might’ve become a world class ballerina if i didnt stop taking lessons when i was 6, so i expect all ballet enthusiasts to now start crying for the talent stolen from them. And the situation in which i *do* feel bad is if the woman has her life derailed suffering through an unwanted pregnancy. See, then i feel bad because there’s a woman in physical and emotional pain. I also feel terrible for women who suffer miscarriages during wanted pregnancies. but also because those women are going through physical and emotional pain. i dont feel bad for the fetus itself. isn’t this a normal way for empathy to work or am i somehow evil in some way i haven’t considered

it's crazy how many super duper patriarchal things get retroactively justified in the name of being about love. yeah I'm sure women taking their husbands surname has always 100% been about recovering from trauma and distancing yourself from abusive family or whatever and has absolutely nothing at all to do with women being seen as property. great work here everyone, marriage as a concept has been redeemed through the power of pop psychology

finished fire walk with me today (technically yesterday) and it just left me feeling very empty. laura couldn't be saved because saving her would have required her to leave twin peaks and then she wouldn't be herself anymore. i don't think she'd want to leave twin peaks either

When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out.

i was supposed to be a casual apothecary diaries fan btw. like i promised myself i would just watch the anime because it seemed alright. WHY has reading the light novels at night became a habit

The drinking contest chapter was super fun

As much as Maomao was glad to have the mystery resolved, she couldn’t help thinking she might have been just as happy never knowing. It was like watching a bad comedy unfold before her eyes. It hardly warrants describing.

as happy never knowing... hardly warrants describing...

Was she going to stand by and watch an entire village be wiped out because of some ridiculous farce?

There was just one problem: the people involved didn’t see it as a farce. To them, it was completely serious. Could it get more absurd? More idiotic? More stupid?

Finally Maomao, at the end of her rope, sat down firmly in a chair. “Bring me some wine”

SHE JUST WON A DRINKING CONTEST AGAINST NINE(?) GROWN MEN. she was forced to watch a romatic scene for like two minutes and immediately wanted to drink more

and finally my personal favorite

And what became of the quack’s nephew and the landlord’s daughter?

Like I care!

idgafer final boss. idk maomao was really fun in the anime but she's even funnier in the light novels when her thoughts are always shown

i also really liked jinshi stepping in and sayin 300 silvers (EXTREMELY large sum) wasn't enough at all for maomao. true #ilovemysituationship right here

Thinking about Suirei again…. She’s literally so iconic.

She took Medicine That Kills You For Ten Minutes and walked it off like a champ. She kidnapped Maomao and gave her a stack of medical textbooks to distract her, like a parent giving their toddler cocomelon. She’s so androgynous everyone thinks she’s a dude when she wears men’s clothes. She keeps wearing men’s clothes even after going into hiding. She’s deathly afraid of snakes because her shitty stepmother threw her into a pit of them for probably no reason. She has no friends. She is one of three people in the entire series who were able to outsmart Maomao. She makes one attempt at a joke and when it doesn’t work never tries again. Maomao is *very* interested in her intelligence and medical knowledge, which weirds her out. She got locked in a closet during one of her stepmother’s orgies. Her half-sister loved her so much she took her original birth name as a fake name while spying. She loves said sister more than anything else.

She tried to assassinate Jinshi. She’s so pretty, when she shows up disguised as a eunuch she ends up becoming legitimate competition to Jinshi’s beauty. She’s Jinshi’s cousin. Did I mention she’s hot as fuck.
