I love how Maomao remembers Jinshi vs. how he remembers her

I know that they miss being with each other. Sigh.

MaoMao 🌸 Finally caught up to the latest episode of the apothecary diaries, I love it so much!! I feel like we have been blessed with a lot of great animes lately! I wanted to draw Maomao to get better at characters, all her outfits are so gorgeous too!

After some thought, I understand why the fandom might hate the "negativity" after the most recent episode. However, some critiques are warranted, whether they are pleasant to hear or not. The production was tight for season 2, and I think many are aware of that fact, but I think people can still voice their opinions and disappoinment.

I have seen some people say that since Shisui won't appear again in the story, that it is okay that things were cut elsewhere to give her the spotlight. I get that she won't ever appear again, but that doesn't mean they should sacrifice other parts that are important narratively, especially when they have an impact on the series later on. In the novel, both moments were important to the narrative (whether it was for the arc, or for the general story in Jinshi's case), so you can't blame novel readers for wanting the impact of both moments to match that (at least somewhat) of the novel.

Although she is important, she is not the only character to have an big moments in this arc, but the anime has not conveyed that super well for the most part. I have even seen anime-onlys say that the reveal felt anticlimactic. It definitely lacked the weight that the same moments had in the LN.

If anything, it makes less sense to brush off moments in the story that are important for characters that are actually present for the rest of the story.

I have heard the whole "light novels readers are ungrateful" and yes, while people can be stuck up about source material in any fandom, I don't think it's fair to be weird about people being disappointed that certain scenes that are deemed important felt flat. Given the amount of episodes left in the season and the pacing, I don't think many were expecting for everything to be included from the source material. Minimizing things to "people are disappointed that a few lines were cut out" is unfair because those lines are important enough to alter the tone of the scenes (at least in my opinion).

That said, the anime is still one of the better LN adaptations and I am grateful for that.

Regardless of what the anime does, the light novels are so good and I hope more people get into them. I suppose a good outcome of this is making some more people interested in picking up the novels. 😭

Maomao’s Atlas of Medicinal & Poisonous Plants! 🌿

This was a huge project of incorporating 50 objects into a piece that I did this year for one of my classes! There are little references to some of the plants actually mentioned within knh (if you can spot them all, you’re the coolest hehe) as well as some others located/used in China and Japan! ∩^ω^∩
